Chapter 48 It's all
over If you cancel the engagement, it's hard to find a better one.
Miss Liu didn't go even though she received the invitation from Princess Chen because she was engaged.
She cried sadly.
She can't even get married yet, but she can predict what her future will be like.
"Madam Liu, no matter how wrong it is, it's all my Cheng'er's fault. When Wanru gets married, I will definitely treat her better than my own daughter." Madam Zheng Er immediately expressed her opinion.
This engagement can't be canceled. Their family is the second branch. Once the old Duke dies, the eldest brother will inherit the title and the family will be divided.
At that time, their family's status in the capital will be completely different.
And at this time, Madam Feng, the younger sister of Madam Zheng Er, also came.
She didn't give anyone time to inform them and rushed directly into the inner courtyard.
When she saw Madam Liu sitting in the hall, she paused.
Although she felt that Miss Liu was innocent, her daughter was about to get married and had completed three of the six ceremonies.
Yesterday afternoon, the man came to cancel the engagement and took away the betrothal gifts on the spot.
This was a joke that only happens once in ten years in the entire capital, but it happened to her daughter.
There was no third way except to marry Zheng Cheng or become a nun, unless she died directly.
She had raised her daughter with great difficulty for sixteen years, and she was so heartbroken that she wanted to die when she saw this misfortune.
So she came to the door early in the morning to ask for an explanation.
"Mrs. Liu is here too? Are you here to cancel the engagement?" When Mrs. Feng saw that Mrs. Liu was there, she thought without a second thought that she was here to cancel the engagement.
"Third sister, you can't say that." Mrs. Zheng was anxious.
What should we do if these two families meet together?
She couldn't appease them one by one.
She winked at the maid beside her, wondering if the maid could be smart enough to find help for her, or even better, invite the old Duke.
"Sister, Zheng Cheng did such a despicable thing, can Xue Ning still marry someone else? The Zheng family should prepare the betrothal gifts quickly and let Xue Ning marry as soon as possible. She is your own niece." Madam Feng spoke rapidly. "
Third sister, calm down, Cheng'er has been engaged to the young lady of the Liu family for many years, let's discuss this matter separately." Madam Zheng wanted to comfort her sister and find time to discuss the matter between the two families.
She had made up her mind last night that the Liu family could not back down. Such an incident had already hurt the Liu family, and as a mother, she had to treat the girl better in the future.
As for the daughter of my sister, she is my niece, so I can tolerate some grievances and make her a concubine. With her aunt around, her life will not be bad in the future.
"Mrs. Zheng, you have to think about this matter carefully. My daughter of the Liu family will not be wronged." Mrs. Liu said with a cold face, meaning that if you dare to let her daughter be wronged, she will not do it.
Mrs. Zheng is in a dilemma now, and she scolded her son again in her heart.
Last night, she asked the family law to beat him, and now he is still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
"Mrs. Liu, Wanru will not be wronged, don't worry, I promise."
"How can I guarantee it? Zheng Cheng only has his cousin in his heart." Mrs. Liu found out everything.
Zheng Cheng and Feng Xue Ning have had a secret affair for a long time. It is not known whether her daughter can win back the man's heart after marrying into the family.
"Hey, elder sister, are you going to wrong my Xue Ning? How did all this happen? Don't you have any idea in your mind?" After hearing this, Madam Feng was fed up.
"Third sister, things have come to this point, so tell me, what should we do?" Madam Zheng Er was almost unable to bear it. "
Is there any need to say this? The Liu family's engagement is cancelled, and we will marry Xue Ning." Madam Feng was righteous and strong.
"What did my Wan Ru do wrong? She has to face a broken engagement?" Madam Liu also took the lead. She was very angry because of this matter.
Just when the three women refused to give in to each other, the old Duke came.
The 72-year-old old Duke had long been out of touch with the world, but today, he had to step in.
The maid just now was quite smart and went directly to the eldest lady, asking her to invite the old Duke.
Seeing the old Duke coming, the three women dared not continue to make trouble.
"Father."
"Duke."
"Duke, you came at the right time. Please give me an explanation." Madam Liu was still in control and greeted politely.
"Madam Liu, this is because our Zheng family is not good at educating children, and I don't have any good ideas.
If the Liu family is willing to cancel the engagement, we promise to find a good marriage for Miss Liu.
If they are not willing to cancel, then welcome her into the family as usual and make her the main wife. After all, Miss Feng is the niece of the second son's wife, so she will be welcomed as a concubine. What do you think?"
Duke Zheng gave the most reasonable opinion.
After hearing this, Madam Liu chose to cancel the engagement. If the Duke Zheng's mansion came forward to matchmake for her daughter, it would definitely not be a bad idea.
The problem was solved.
When Zheng Cheng found out that his grandfather had stepped in to settle the matter, he was overjoyed, as he had always liked his cousin.
Naturally, Feng Yuanhao quickly received the news.
As expected of the Duke's Mansion, the problem was solved so easily.
He had thought that the Zheng family would marry both women, and Zheng Cheng's backyard would be bustling in the future.
Why did Feng Yuanhao feel as if he had helped Zheng Cheng?
However, Zheng Cheng's reputation had been ruined, and it would be difficult for him to become an official in the future.
Men also need a reputation, especially those who want to enter officialdom, and cannot have a tarnished reputation.
Feng Yuanhao quickly accepted the fact that this was just a prank, and he didn't have any big demands, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
By the afternoon, the news had spread in the capital that Prince Yi had taken a fancy to Luo Shanshan, the daughter of the Imperial Academy's chief priest, and the emperor had personally issued an imperial decree to arrange a marriage for them.
When Feng Ruyue heard the news, she burst into tears again.
The most unexpected thing was that Prince Lu actually took a fancy to girls from two families at the same time at the poetry meeting.
He went to propose marriage in person and brought a betrothal gift.
The first family he went to was the family of Xue, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and the one he asked to marry was Xue Yarong, who had broken off the engagement with the Feng family.
Xue Yarong was so scared that she fell ill when she returned home that day, and she recovered after two days.
When Xue Jingwen got home that night and learned about this, he was so angry that
he slapped his thigh. His beloved daughter!
If he had known this, he would not have canceled the marriage with the Feng family.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Xue Jingwen had to respectfully welcome Prince Lu into the mansion.
"Sir Xue, I believe you already know why I came. I will not beat around the bush.
Your daughter is very much in my heart. Today I have come to propose marriage and propose marriage. If Sir Xue hopes for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, I can also go to the palace to ask for permission." Yun Xinglu was very direct.
Xue Jingwen did not dare to make any struggle.
This prince is not like other princes. Although he appears to be extremely rude, he is actually brave and resourceful.
He holds military power and has several retainers in the mansion.
Anyone who dares to disobey him will die without knowing how.
The most important thing is that she is very favored by
the emperor. "Thank you
for your love, my Lord." Xue Jingwen had to answer respectfully. "Don't worry, my Lord Xue, I will love your daughter well, and she will live well." Prince Lu patted Xue Jingwen on the shoulder, almost spraining his waist.
After hearing this, Xue Jingwen raised his head sharply and looked at Prince Lu who had returned to the main seat.
What did he mean by this?
Could his daughter survive?
Prince Lu got a positive answer, left the betrothal gifts and moved on to the next family.
The Fei family was not so lucky. They were just told that their daughter would be a concubine.
Forget about the betrothal gifts.
A few days later, Feng Yuanhao heard that Jiang Tingxuan had also decided on a marriage.
The poetry gathering that day was really a good gathering for blind dates.
This is the gathering that has helped the most couples in recent years. There are already four couples that have been seen.
There are also some that are in progress, but we don’t know yet, such as Feng Yuanhao.
When Feng Tianxing found out, she was so happy in her heart.
She and Xiaohei helped to help three and a half couples.
The couple that Big Brother helped to help was also her credit.
