Perhaps they had done too many wrong things, because the mother and son didn't sleep well all night, fearing that the mentally ill couple might come out from somewhere, and also worried that they might make a mistake one day and be arrested by special departments.
Cui Hailu and the other two also suffered from insomnia. Fortunately, they heard the nanny say when she returned from grocery shopping that the educated youth office would start delivering notices to their homes today. This time, Fu Wanning couldn't escape. Once the dust settled, it would be considered that Fu Wanning, this troublemaker, was finally dealt with.
Fu Wanning went downstairs for dinner as usual and happened to run into Du Lixue who was looking for Pei Guangzong.
Thanks to the machinations of certain individuals, everyone in the lower five aristocratic families knew about the Pei family's shameful affair of replacing the crown prince with a cat.
Pei Guangzong, this fake young master, has become infamous in the industry.
Du Lixue had just returned home yesterday, thinking of discussing it with her parents, when she received the news that the Du family wanted to cancel the engagement. In fact, she really couldn't accept the fake young master, so she readily agreed to her parents' decision.
She hadn't yet considered how to tell the Pei family this terrible news. It wasn't that she liked Pei Guangzong that much, but rather that she was concerned about the Pei family's reputation. If it were an ordinary family, she wouldn't even show her face and would just announce the annulment of the engagement!
However, the Pei family is a branch of the lower five families, and the Pei family's son-in-law is an agent of the Pigeon Tail Society. If this is not handled properly, it will put both families in an awkward position, which will not benefit anyone.
Seeing Du Lixue hesitate, Pei Guangzong's heart pounded. "Lixue, have you discussed with your parents when we're going to get married?"
Cui Hailu looked delighted. As long as this marriage was settled, the Cui family would have hope.
"Lixue, don't worry, the Pei family will not mistreat you. I will love you like my own daughter."
Pei Antong spoke highly of Pei Guangzong in front of her, praising him to the skies how handsome and capable he was.
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Fu next door almost vomited. "I have a sharp eye. I can tell at a glance that Pei Guangzong has kidney deficiency. Whoever marries him will be unlucky."
Cui Hailu was too lazy to argue with her. She had already sent someone to invite her parents to deal with Old Madam Fu this morning, to see how she could continue to cause trouble.
Seeing that the other party hesitated to speak, Fu Wanning couldn't help but sneer, "Judging from her appearance, I can tell she's here to break off the engagement. You and your son have made such a huge fool of yourselves, who would accept you? You clearly have better options, why choose an imposter and become a laughingstock?"
When Pei Guangzong saw his partner arrive, he became very confident. "You're talking nonsense. Li Xue loves me so much that she wouldn't want to break off our engagement. You've missed your chance to promote your brother. Li Xue chose me. I am the future son-in-law of the Du family."
"Lixue came to discuss marriage with me. Are you envious and jealous of your brother? You're very resentful that you didn't get the battalion commander's daughter as your sister-in-law, aren't you?"
When the Pei family saw Du Lixue arrive, their expressions towards Pei Guangzong finally softened. "Lixue, why didn't your parents come with you to discuss the wedding? Have you chosen a date yet?"
Du Lixue was put on the hot seat, and faced with the expectant eyes of the Pei family elders and Cui Hailu and her son, she was at a loss for words.
Fu Wanning spoke up for her with disdain, "Stop playing dumb. You're here to break off the engagement, but you're afraid of damaging the relationship between the two families, so you don't know how to bring it up. Miss Du, can we be straightforward? It's not like we're killing your parents."
