After returning home, Xue's father told Xue's mother the whole story. Xue's mother said that both parties should meet and talk about it first.
After Chen's father returned home, he told the story, but it turned out to be a source of opposition from the entire family.
Their Qing'er is rich, pretty, and talented, so how could he marry the daughter of a hunter?!
Chen Qing's female elders thought so in their hearts.
Chen Qing himself was reluctant.
But Chen's father was a man of his word, and since the favor of saving his life was greater than heaven, the marriage had to happen. After a tug-of-war between the two sides, Chen Qing finally reluctantly agreed to meet the woman.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing slapped himself in the face.
After seeing Xue Huan's appearance, his eyes widened. She was so pretty, even if she was the daughter of a hunter, she wouldn't be bad.
And "Xue Huan" was also attracted by the fair and handsome Chen Qing.
In fact, Xue's mother was not very optimistic about this marriage. Women understand women best. She felt that Mrs. Chen was not an easy person to get along with, but seeing her daughter's happy look, she didn't want to object too much. She thought that the Chen family was ultimately headed by Mr. Chen. When her daughter married, if the father-in-law was sensible and her husband liked her, then this marriage would be inevitable.
With Lao Xue and I taking care of her, even if my daughter is wronged, they can support her.
So Xue's mother did not object.
On the Chen family's side, Chen Qing himself agreed, and his mother and grandmother could no longer object.
The Chen and Xue families became relatives.
They have been engaged for more than half a year, and it seems that the wedding will be soon. Thinking of this, Xue Huan was shocked. How could she lie down?
Just then, there was a sudden loud knock on the door outside.
Xue Huan subconsciously looked to the side and saw that Xue Jun had frowned. She was furious and quickly stood up and walked out, closing the door gently.
When Xue Huan opened the gate, she saw a girl dressed as a maid standing outside, and a donkey cart was parked under a persimmon tree not far away.
A few women who usually like to gossip are standing on the roadside, glancing over, obviously intending to watch the fun.
The maid looked familiar to Xue Huan. She searched her memory and remembered that this was the maid who served the original owner's future mother-in-law, Madam Chen.
Then the person sitting in the donkey cart was obviously Mrs. Chen.
People really can't stand nagging. Just as she was thinking about this marriage, someone from the other party's family came.
The maid walked to the donkey cart and helped down a woman in her forties wearing gold and silver jewelry.
This woman is Chen Qing's mother.
Xue Huan didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't be impolite. She stepped forward and called out, "Auntie Lin, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Mrs. Chen looked at her with her nose and said, "No need to sit down. It's just a matter of a few words anyway."
Xue Huan could tell that this person was not here to visit sincerely.
She gave a businesslike smile and said, "Then you talk, I'm listening."
Mrs. Chen looked a little surprised. Before, in order to marry Qing'er, this girl had been very respectful and fearful in front of her, fearing that she would do something wrong and make her angry. Although she looked down on her, she was still quite pleased with her attitude.
But why did this girl seem like a different person now? Although she still looked respectful, she just felt something was wrong.
But thinking of the purpose of coming here today, Mrs. Chen didn't think too much and said straight to the point: "Today I am here to cancel the engagement with Qing'er. My Qing'er——"
Xue Huan: "Okay, I agree."
"—He's so handsome and talented, what kind of woman wouldn't be worthy of him? Wait until someday..." Madam Chen suddenly realized, her voice rising several notches: "What did you say?!"
Xue Huan kindly repeated, "I said I agree. Do you have any other questions?"
Even if the Chen family didn't come to cancel the engagement, she would still find a way to ruin this marriage. Now that Mrs. Chen took the initiative to cancel the engagement, it really suited her heart.
"What's the problem?" Mrs. Chen looked at Xue Huan, who was calm and collected, and felt a tight breath in her chest.
Why didn't this girl follow the script? After she said she wanted to cancel the engagement, shouldn't she have collapsed and cried desperately, begging her?
Originally, she had prepared a lot of words just to reject her, but she didn't expect that she would be so sensible in the end. Mrs. Chen felt a little uncomfortable, as if her son was being disliked.
By proposing to cancel the engagement, it seemed as if I was taking advantage of her wishes.
"If you have no problem, I'll go back."
"Wait." Mrs. Chen called her, "Why don't you ask me why I came here to cancel the engagement?" As she spoke, she glanced at the women who were watching the fun.
Since this girl doesn't follow the script, she can only do more on her own.
If the Chen family proposed to cancel the engagement at this juncture, they would inevitably be gossiped about, and even have a bad reputation for Qing'er, so she had to let her family occupy the moral high ground and put the blame for the cancellation of the engagement on Xue Huan!
Only in this way can the marriage be withdrawn as it should be, legitimately and openly.
Xue Huan: "I know, because you know your son is not worthy of me, and you are afraid of delaying me, so you kindly let me go free and let me choose another good husband, right?"
Madam Chen and her maid: "..."
Xue Huan seemed to have no idea how damaging her words were, and she turned around leisurely after she finished speaking.
Mrs. Chen looked at her from behind, pointed at her, and was so angry that she couldn't speak. After a long pause, she finally uttered, "You, you, you stop right there!"
Xue Huan turned around and sighed, "Sister, do you have anything else to say?"
Isn't it just a breakup? Everything has been made clear, so why are you still calling her out again and again? If you don't know, you might think she's reluctant to part with her daughter-in-law.
Big sister?! Madam Chen was furious again, clutching her chest as if she was about to pass out at any moment. The maid hurriedly supported her and helped her breathe.
After recovering for a while, Madam Chen sneered, "I used to think you were a well-behaved girl, but it turns out you were just pretending! It's a good thing I didn't marry you, otherwise my Qing'er would have been ruined by you!"
Xue Huan replied calmly, "I must also thank your son for not marrying. Otherwise, I would have to suffer the torture of my evil mother-in-law every day. It's really scary just thinking about it!"
She even pretended to pat her chest, looking terrified.
Evil mother-in-law? How dare this little bitch call her that!
Mrs. Chen's expression gradually became ferocious, and her chest kept rising and falling. She was obviously very angry and even forgot what she wanted to say.
The maidservant beside her whispered a reminder: "Madam, you are throwing dirty water."
Oh yes, the purpose of coming here today is to ruin this damn girl's reputation and successfully cancel the marriage! I am really mad at this damn girl!
"You have a really sharp tongue! But no matter how much you try to argue, you can't hide the fact that you're a slut!"
