Seeing that none of them responded, Liu Yun was afraid that saying too much would cause them to lose their temper. Zhou Xiangnan was the kind of person who dared to challenge the old man. In particular, none of the men in the family had more influence outside than Zhou Xiangnan. If the Zhou family ever needed anything, they would have to rely on Zhou Xiangnan.
"However, Shaoqiu will also be married off tomorrow. She'll be so lucky. Her mother-in-law will be her own aunt. Where else can you find such a good thing?"
"I've dissolved my engagement with Young Master Feng!"
Xu Keke's words infuriated Liu Yun. Such a good opportunity, why didn't she have a daughter? She suddenly remembered someone and, taking advantage of the chatter among the families, inquired with Wang Shujin about why the engagement was broken off. Liu Yun called over the old woman guarding the door and whispered a few instructions.
The second wife pretended to spill tea on herself, smiled at the group, said "Excuse me," and got up to go upstairs to change her clothes.
Upon entering the room, she indeed saw Zhou Shaoyuan reclining on the bed reading a magazine. She said angrily, "You child, your seventh aunt is here, and you don't even go down to greet her."
Zhou Shaoyuan rolled over. "It's not what you said. Seventh Aunt doesn't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. Let alone marriage, she won't think of me for any good things. I'm a legitimate daughter, why should I smile at them?"
"Keep your voice down. Everyone can hear you coughing upstairs and downstairs. Don't let anyone hear you. Shaoqiu just said downstairs that she has broken off her engagement with the young master of the Feng family."
Seeing that Zhou Shaoyuan was still looking at the magazine and ignoring her, the second wife became anxious and snatched the magazine from her hand. "Did you hear me?"
"Oh dear, I heard that. That Young Master Feng, I've never even seen what he looks like. If Zhou Shaoqiu doesn't want him, he can't be any good. If it were Ji Mingkai, I might consider it."
Zhou Shaoyuan pointed to the magazine in the second wife's hand, "Look, it's published there. There's a rumor that Ji Mingkai bought that set of 'Rose Romance' to win a smile from a beauty. I wonder who he gave it to. Ji Mingkai is so romantic."
The second wife quickly picked up the magazine, looked at it, and sighed, "So expensive, they must be rich."
The second wife slapped Zhou Shaoyuan across the face. "Get up and change your clothes. The first wife sent an invitation to the Ji family today. She was just downstairs saying that Mrs. Ji has been getting close to her brother and sister-in-law lately, and she's coming today too."
