Chapter 1319: Dad, Mom, I Want to Break Off the Engagement
After Xia Siya finished speaking, she looked at Zou Shuqin.
"Let me ask you, are you and Bai Shuzhi really in love with each other and can't help but be together?" Xia Siya asked with a tense face.
Zou Shuqin: “…”
A stagnation.
She didn't expect that Xia Siya would ask this kind of question.
Then, I understood.
It seems that what this cousin cares about most is the heart of the third young master of the Bai family.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Zou Shuqin's eyes.
Does the third young master of the Bai family have any intention?
"What do you mean by mutual affection?" Before Zou Shuqin could answer, Madam Zou rushed in and said, "It was all the Bai family's Third Young Master who deceived Shuqin, saying he fell in love with her at first sight and couldn't forget her. He even tricked her into having a child with him..."
Mrs. Zou tried hard to save her daughter's reputation and pushed Bai Shu into the water.
Unfortunately, Xia Siya ignored Mrs. Zou and just stared at Zou Shuqin.
"I want to hear the truth!" Xia Siya said calmly, "From your own mouth!"
Just as Zou Shuqin was about to speak, Xia Siya added another sentence.
"Think it over first!"
Zou Shuqin: “…”
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
She saw something in Xia Siya's eyes.
She knew that her answer would determine whether she could finally get what she wanted.
"Yes!" Zou Shuqin said with determination, "He likes me, and I like him. We are deeply in love and can't help ourselves. Please help me, cousin!"
After saying that, he kowtowed deeply to Xia Siya.
Xia Siya: “…”
His face turned pale instantly.
There was complete silence all around!
Mrs. Zou was shocked.
She didn't expect that her daughter would admit it in front of so many people.
Mrs. Zou's eyes rolled around for a while, and then she understood something.
"Siya, please help your cousin." Madam Zou said to Xia Siya with a pleading look on her face, "Your cousin didn't lie to you. The third young master of the Bai family coaxed your cousin into being completely devoted to him. Poor cousin, she even has a child... Woo woo..." But she was not allowed to enter the house.
Mrs. Zou was annoyed by the last sentence, but she didn't say it out loud.
Madam Xia said anxiously, "Nonsense! Siya, don't listen to them! My son-in-law was just confused for a moment, how could he really like her..."
Mrs. Xia suddenly couldn't continue speaking. Thinking of the clingy relationship between Bai Shuzhi and Zou Shuqin that she saw at the Bai family last night, Mrs. Xia felt disgusted!
Not only Mrs. Xia couldn't continue speaking, but Old Lady Su and others were also unable to speak.
Da Pan's fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds. Mrs. Su was extremely worried.
I shouldn’t have let my son come over to help today!
Well, actually she tried to stop it, but she failed.
The son said he had promised Siya that he would marry her off and support her...
"Pomegranate! Take the man away and don't disturb Aunt Xia's good life!" Da Pan said with a stern face.
"Okay!"
Shi Liu agreed, took a few steps forward, and was about to pick up Mrs. Zou and Zou Shuqin.
Zou Shuqin had long been traumatized by Shi Liu. When she saw Shi Liu coming, she was so scared that she quickly hid behind Mrs. Zou.
"Don't touch me! I'm pregnant with the Bai family's child. If anything happens to the child, can you afford the compensation? The Bai family will definitely not let you go..." Zou Shuqin shouted fiercely while dodging.
Shi Liu immediately rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "I almost believed you! How about I give you another bowl of medicine to try?"
Zou Shuqin: “…”
His eyes suddenly widened with a look of horror.
"How do you know?" Zou Shuqin asked without thinking.
Then I realized that I had asked a nonsense question.
If what happened last night was arranged by Princess Fude, then it is normal for Shi Liu to know about it.
Shi Liu gave Zou Shuqin a look of disdain and asked, "What do you think?"
After saying that, he grabbed Zou Shuqin by the collar.
"ah!"
Zou Shuqin screamed in fright.
"Forget it, Pomegranate!" Xia Siya said, "Let her go!"
After Xia Siya finished speaking, she turned to look at Lord Xia and Madam Xia and said in a firm tone, "Dad, Mom, I want to cancel the engagement!"
Lord Xia frowned slightly, looking hesitant.
Mrs. Xia was shocked and angry, but not surprised at all.
She naturally knew her daughter's temperament.
That's why she didn't want her daughter to get involved in this matter.
"No!" Mrs. Xia said flatly.
Tomorrow is the wedding day, but she called off the engagement today. How will outsiders view her daughter and the Xia family?
What's more, marriage is a major matter that is decided by parents and matchmaker.
It is extremely inappropriate for my daughter, a girl, to say she wants to cancel the engagement in public.
Coupled with the crying and making a fuss by the Zou mother and daughter, the daughter might be branded as intolerant and would rather break off the engagement than allow her cousin to marry into the family.
How could Madam Xia be happy?!
"You go in first, Dad and Mom will handle this matter!" Mrs. Xia ordered.
After saying that, he looked at the Zou family mother and daughter and gritted his teeth.
Then he said, "Since you are asking for a fulfillment, then we will fulfill it for you!"
When Mrs. Xia said this, her gaze fell on Zou Shuqin, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
"As long as the Bai family agrees to let you in, my daughter will definitely be treated like a concubine by you after she marries you!"
If the Bai family dares to agree, then this marriage is for nothing!
As soon as Mrs. Xia finished speaking, the Zou family's mother and daughter both changed color.
The result they want is not for Zou Shuqin to become a concubine in the Bai family!
They just wanted to retreat in order to advance and force Xia Siya to cancel the engagement on her own initiative.
When Mrs. Xia saw the expressions of the Zou mother and daughter, she calmed down.
"After all, my daughter hasn't married into the Bai family yet, so she can't be the boss of the Bai family." Mrs. Xia added slowly.
Madam Zou: “…”
Zou Shuqin: “…”
After hearing what Mrs. Xia said, the people around nodded.
That's right, she hasn't married yet, so it's not right for me to agree to it on her behalf.
Tang Bao felt a little helpless. She didn't expect her godmother to be so stubborn.
Even though it has come to this, he still refuses to agree to cancel the engagement.
"Godmother, you don't agree with Sister Ya's decision to cancel the engagement, is it because—"
Tang Bao paused, glanced at Madam Zou, and continued, "Don't you want to see Madam Zou's smug expression?"
Mrs. Xia was startled and opened her mouth.
She didn't want to admit that after her daughter said she wanted to cancel the engagement, there was a hint of provocative pride in Mrs. Zou's eyes when she looked at her.
Although it was extremely fast, it was still caught by Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia's anger and unwillingness were immediately aroused.
"Fuya, you don't understand." Madam Xia sighed and said, "Godmother won't hide it from you. This is one reason, but the most fundamental reason is that canceling the engagement now would have too much impact and would damage your sister Siya's reputation too much."
"Godmother, what impact? What damage to reputation? Why don't you think about it? Is it worth it to sacrifice Sister Siya's life for these illusory things?" Tang Bao said: "Sister Siya deserves better, deserves someone who treats her wholeheartedly..."
