Therefore, I'm sure your father will carefully consider this matter after reading it.
If things are to go wrong, let it be Zhang Zhe's reputation; it will have nothing to do with the girl, and she will not be affected in her future marriages either.
Yao Xi couldn't believe it after hearing the whole thing.
Having done it, she was determined to bear the consequences, yet she couldn't help but be surprised by Zhang Zhe's upright and honest character.
Breaking off an engagement can be a small matter or a big one, but his willingness to take full responsibility shows that he is a responsible and dependable man.
Is it really not a pity that Yao Xi discarded such a man like a worn-out shoe?
However, it's too late for regrets now.
Yao Xi felt a complex mix of emotions, a blend of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.
Hearing Chu Yuan's question, which she already knew the answer to, she couldn't help but resentfully retort, "That's right, he has already sent the marriage certificate back to the Yao family, and even my father's persuasion was useless."
This engagement is now completely null and void!
"Is this what you and Jiang Xuening wanted? Are you satisfied?"
Chu Yuan was exhausted from her fight with Xie Wei and had no energy left to argue with the spoiled and willful Yao Xi.
His expression instantly turned cold, and his tone became extremely indifferent: "Miss Yao, this is the Yangzhizhai in the palace, not your Yao residence. No one has an obligation to indulge you or coax you."
To put it bluntly, what does your relationship with Zhang Zhe have to do with us?
Baoying and Fangmiao advised you because they cared about you and were afraid that you would be upset about this. But instead, you yelled at them!
You were the one who wanted to call off the marriage, so why are you putting on this sad act for who knows what?
Do you think you've been taken advantage of?
Don't you think about it? If you really did ruin Lord Zhang's reputation in secret, as you previously thought, you could indeed annul the engagement. But what would happen if outsiders found out about your underhanded methods? I'm afraid no noble family in the capital would dare to marry a girl with a bad heart!
Furthermore, you're truly blind and utterly clueless. We're doing this for your own good, but you're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—unappreciative of our kindness. Someone who's always been on good terms with you has been disappearing from your sight lately. Aren't you curious how those things you said got out?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Xi's eyes widened like saucers, looking shocked and incredulous.
Chu Yuan stood up, gesturing for Zhou Baoying and Fang Miao to leave quickly. She told them to stop there; these people were a bit dim-witted, and further discussion was pointless.
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them stepped out of the pavilion of Yangzhizhai, a slender and upright figure suddenly appeared at the gate. "I am Zhang Zhe, a supervising secretary of the Ministry of Justice. May I ask which two are Miss Jiang and Miss You? I have something to discuss with you."
