Jiang Ancheng didn't even look at Duke Anguo again. He patted Jiang Zhan on the shoulder and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you leave?"

Jiang Zhan staggered after being slapped, but he smiled brightly: "Let's go, let's go, everyone has worked hard today, I will pay for you to drink!"

The servants who followed cheered in unison.

Jiang Ancheng glanced at Jiang Zhan and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the money?"

The brat even begged money from him to buy the soup packets for Si'er.

Jiang Zhan said with a smile: "It's still the old rules. Let's start with father's money."

"Get lost with your old rules!" Jiang Ancheng was so angry that he kicked Jiang Zhan on the butt.

The engagement was successfully cancelled, and both father and son were in a good mood. Jiang Zhan indeed got some money from Jiang Ancheng, and took a few servants who had helped out this time to a tavern for a drink.

"You can drink as much as you want today. As long as you follow me, you will always have wine to drink from you in the future!" Jiang Zhan raised his wine glass and said with heroic spirit.

"Thank you, Second Master. From now on, we will follow you!" The servants raised their glasses one after another.

The master and his servants were drinking happily when they heard a noise coming from next door.

"Have you heard that the Duke of Dongping and the Duke of Anguo have really called off the engagement?"

"How could I not have heard that when the Duke of Dongping placed the betrothal gifts in front of the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, so many people saw it. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the Duke of Dongping's mansion to be so ambitious."

"Haha, I think the Duke of Dongping is too stupid. If he cancels the engagement now just to make himself happy, how can the fourth daughter of their family find a better in-law family than the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in the future?"

"It's mainly because the third son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is too outrageous."

"Not right?" The man sneered. "Many men linger in brothels and have many wives and concubines. What's the big deal about being infatuated with a woman? If the Duke of Dongping is so intolerant of any injustice, I think Miss Jiang Si is destined to be an old maid for the rest of her life."

Jiang Zhan got angry when he heard this. He threw his wine glass to the ground, ran over, grabbed a man by the collar and yelled, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off!"

The man was stunned by this sudden change. He stared at Jiang Zhan for a long time with wide eyes, and then he trembled and said, "You, who are you?"

Jiang Zhan was stunned.

Strange, the sound seems wrong.

The other man sitting opposite that man had quietly stood up and prepared to leave.

Jiang Zhan suddenly realized: "Stop, it turns out you are the one gossiping!"

He picked up a plate from the table and smashed it over.

The soup in the plate splashed on the man's back.

The man was also annoyed, and turned around to ask, "Who are you? Why are you drunk and crazy for no reason?"

"Open your eyes and see clearly. I am the second son of the Duke of Dongping! If you dare to talk nonsense about my sister, I will beat you into a pig's head today!"

The man had already stepped out of the door, and was drenched in vegetable soup. He was very annoyed. He estimated that the young man with red lips and white teeth in front of him could not outrun him, so he retorted: "Oh, so you are the brother of Miss Jiang Si who wants to be an old lady for the rest of her life? What a pleasure to meet you."

"Asshole, who do you say can't get married? Without the Anguo Mansion, my sister will be able to marry better!" Jiang Zhan's delicate and beautiful eyes were filled with fire.

"Stop dreaming. It is true that the third son of the Duke of Anguo's mansion will marry a girl from a better family. As for the fourth Miss Jiang... I think you should go back and comfort your sister."

Jiang Zhan couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he rushed over, kicked the man to the ground, and rained down punches from him.

"Someone's dead, someone's dead--" the people pinned down screamed like pigs being slaughtered.

The tavern waiter noticed something was wrong and hurried to the street to find the patrol officer. By the time the officer arrived, the man had been beaten so badly by Jiang Zhan that even his mother could not recognize him.

In the end, Jiang Ancheng paid the man twenty taels of silver for medical expenses and gave the officer ten taels of silver as a reward for his hard work, and only then was he able to redeem his prodigal son.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Ancheng kicked Jiang Zhan down with one foot: "Little bastard, you never give me peace of mind!"

Jiang Zhan rubbed his buttocks and felt very aggrieved: "Father, this is not my fault. That bastard was just a dirty-mouthed person who talked nonsense about my sister."

"Talking about your sister?"

"Yes!" Jiang Zhan quickly recounted the whole story and said angrily, "If he had just mentioned me, it would have been fine, but that person kept talking about his sister. My son almost got mad when he heard it. It was a good thing for him to just give him a beating!"

Jiang Ancheng fell silent after hearing this.

Although he had no regrets about breaking off the engagement, his daughter's future was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.

Jiang Zhan got up and said, "Does father think that his son shouldn't speak out when he hears others criticizing his sister?"

Jiang Ancheng kicked Jiang Zhan down again, and said angrily: "I'm not saying I don't want you to make a difference, I'm just mad at you for being stupid! Why didn't you run away before the police came?"

What a prodigal son! Thirty taels of silver just flew away like that!

Jiang Zhan blinked.

Hey, my father’s reminder makes sense!

"Don't worry, father. From now on, your son will know how to beat someone and run away immediately!"

"There's going to be a next time? I'll beat you to death, you troublesome little bastard!"

Jiang Zhan ran away: "Take a break, your feet are hurting. I'll go see my sister."

“Second brother, what’s this—” Seeing Jiang Zhan running towards him in a wolf-like state, Jiang Si stood up and went to greet him.

Jiang Zhan realized belatedly that he had forgotten to change his clothes after drinking and fighting, and immediately turned around to leave: "Fourth sister, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and come back!"

"No need." Jiang Si pulled Jiang Zhan's sleeve and said with a smile, "Second brother, you should tell me what happened, otherwise I will be worried."

Jiang Zhan laughed foolishly.

Did he hear it right? My sister said she would be worried about him.

"Second brother?"

Jiang Zhan forced himself to suppress his smile and resumed his calm demeanor, but when he mentioned what happened in the tavern, he became furious.

"Why bother getting angry with that kind of person, second brother? A tavern is a place where all kinds of people gather. If they drink a few glasses of wine, they will start to talk nonsense."

"But he said Fourth Sister... Is Fourth Sister really not angry?"

"I'm not angry." Jiang Si raised her hand to brush away the chicken bones stuck on Jiang Zhan's shoulders. "How can I be as free as I am now after getting married? As long as my father and second brother don't mind me eating free meals at home, it's fine-"

"No, no, I will never give up! Besides, this is not Fourth Sister's fault, it's those people who are stupid!"

"Then why are you angry, second brother?" Jiang Si asked with a smile.

"I feel upset when I think about that person saying that Ji San will marry a girl from a better family. Could it be that those who have done nothing wrong will be implicated, while those who have done something wrong will be free and unfettered?"

After hearing what Jiang Zhan said, Jiang Si sighed secretly.

This is the case many times in this world.

However, she always believed that God is watching what people do, and only if you live a clean life can you sleep peacefully.

"Second brother, don't be angry about this. I guarantee you that Ji Chongyi's dream of marrying a noble lady in his lifetime is just a fool's dream!"

"real?"

"You will know tomorrow, brother."

The atmosphere in the Anguo Mansion was gloomy. Anguo was dissatisfied with Wei for not doing things well, so he lost his temper and went to the study to rest.

Wei was so angry that her heart ached. She called her eldest daughter-in-law, Guo, and gave her a scolding.

Guo held back her anger and comforted him, "Why should you be angry over such a superficial family? It would be better if your daughter-in-law said she wanted to cancel the engagement. There are so many noble ladies in the capital. When this turmoil is over, you can carefully pick a good one for Sanlang. Then the Duke of Dongping will be furious."

"You're right. This time I'm going to pick it up for Sanlang and I'm going to get my revenge back!"
