“Qi Da is not a good match.” Yun Zhi only answered with four words, and Xu Liang and the others understood.
Yes, they only saw the Regent's high position and power, but forgot that they were just a wealthy merchant family. They were not a good match; even if the Xu and Yun families combined, they wouldn't be worthy of the Prince's household.
Yunzhi had already suffered greatly in the Marquis's mansion. If she were to enter the Prince's mansion, wouldn't she suffer even more?
No, Yunzhi absolutely cannot marry into the Regent's Palace.
Otherwise, if she suffers injustice, they can only watch helplessly, unable to help her, support her, or seek justice for her.
At this moment, Xu Cheng spoke up, saying, "The marriage between Yunzhi and the Regent was bestowed by the Emperor. It wouldn't be so easy to break it off, would it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened. Indeed, how could they forget that the marriage between Zhizhi and the Regent was a royal decree, not something they could decide?
Thinking of this, Xu Liang couldn't help but feel troubled.
It seems he needs to find some time to have a proper talk with the Regent. If he could voluntarily annul the engagement, that would be ideal.
If they can't retreat, they'll have to find another way. At worst, they can fake their death to escape. Fortunately, Zhizhi is a descendant of Medicine King Valley, so making a fake death potion shouldn't be a problem.
Having figured it out, Xu Liang stopped worrying and looked at his wife and two sons, saying, "We'll talk about whether Zhizhi should break off her engagement with the Regent later. Right now, our main priority is to get justice for Zhizhi. Those guys in the Yun family are cowards; they don't dare to stand up for Zhizhi. We must stand up for her. Otherwise, that An guy will think Zhizhi doesn't have any family backing her up."
"Dad, whatever you say, we'll do it." Xu Cheng and Xu Lin immediately chimed in. They wouldn't deserve to be Yunzhi's brothers if they didn't stand up for her.
Yunzhi was touched by what her uncle and two cousins said, but she was worried that something might happen to them, so she advised, "Uncle, why don't you just forget about it?"
"No, this can't be left like this. We have to settle accounts with that guy surnamed An, we have to vent your anger. Otherwise, people will look down on you and think you're easy to bully. Then, everyone will want to kick you while you're down."
After saying that, Xu Liang looked at Yun Zhi and said, "Zhi Zhi, I know you're worried about us. But we won't go looking for trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Don't worry, we're just going to teach him a lesson, we won't do anything else."
Seeing her uncle and cousin so determined to stand up for her, Yunzhi didn't try to persuade them any further. Otherwise, she would be ungrateful.
The carriage moved slowly and soon arrived in the capital, returning to the villa where Yunzhi lived. Yunzhi had already had the courtyard where the Xu family would stay prepared.
After a long and tiring journey, the group washed up and ate something before Yunzhi arranged for them to rest.
However, as soon as she left, Xu Liang began assigning tasks to his two sons.
The next day, as soon as Yunzhi got up, Rulan came to report, "Miss, Miss, something bad has happened. Uncle and his men, along with people from the merchant guild, attacked the An family early this morning."
"What?" Yunzhi was taken aback. She knew her uncle and the others were going to stand up for her. But she hadn't expected them to be in such a hurry, going to cause trouble for An Xiuyuan so early.
They probably haven't even had breakfast yet.
Thinking of this, Yunzhi stopped practicing her boxing, changed her clothes, tidied herself up, and hurriedly went out.
