Guo had already seen that Dongping Bo Jiang Ancheng was not a refined person.

A scholar cannot explain himself to a soldier. She suppressed her frustration and smiled at the wife of the Duke of Dongping. "Madam, this marriage is about marrying two families. It cannot be done hastily. Why don't you discuss it with the Duke first? I'll wait for your letter in the flower hall."

Seeing that Guo temporarily avoided her, Old Madam Feng felt a little relieved.

Although she had no intention of canceling the engagement, she couldn't be too soft in front of the people from the Anguo Mansion. The Anguo Mansion was at fault first, so of course she couldn't miss this opportunity in vain.

Speaking of which, she was worried about the fact that Cang'er wanted to become a disciple of the great scholar Mr. Qingya but had no way to do so.

In Mrs. Feng's opinion, the marriage cannot be cancelled, but she could take the opportunity to gain some benefits so that everyone would be happy.

Of course, she also had to convince her eldest son.

Looking at her eldest son's sullen face, Old Lady Feng couldn't help but frown.

The eldest son is of mediocre qualifications, and he lost one of his hands last year while rescuing Duke Anguo from a landslide. Let alone trying to continue the glory of the Earl's Mansion, it would be good enough if he could maintain the current situation.

This grown-up man is so ignorant!

"Mother, there is no room for negotiation. This marriage must be cancelled. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is going too far!"

"Must cancel the engagement? Boss, have you ever thought about how much harm canceling an engagement can cause to a woman? Even if it's the man's fault, can a girl who has canceled an engagement still talk about getting married again?"

Jiang Ancheng sneered: "Even if Si'er is married to an ordinary person, it is better than marrying her to a man who has a secret meeting with another woman before marriage!"

"Common people?" Old Madam Feng looked at Jiang Ancheng with disappointment. "Do you know that the money that Fourth Girl spends on rouge and powder in a month is equivalent to the annual expenses of a common person in a family of five?"

Jiang Ancheng was stunned by Madam Feng's question.

Madam Feng's tone became even colder: "Love is only a joke. The wife of the Prince of Anguo told me that the girl was born in a poor family and can't even read a few words. The Third Master Ji is just looking for a little novelty. Once he takes the girl into his room, he will throw her aside in no time."

Jiang Ancheng snorted heavily and said indignantly: "Mother is wrong. This is not a question of whether that bastard cares about other women, but that he has no respect for Si'er. This kind of person is not a good match!"

"Have you asked Si'er what she thinks?" Old Madam Feng suddenly asked.

Jiang Ancheng's tone paused.

Madam Feng raised her lips slightly and said, "You haven't asked Si'er yet, so how do you know if she is willing to cancel the engagement? Even if marriage is decided by parents, aren't you afraid that you will make the wrong decision and let Si'er blame you for the rest of her life?"

Mrs. Feng's words made Jiang Ancheng turn pale.

His deceased wife left him two daughters and one son, and among the three children he loved Si'er the most.

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. He knew this was not good, but who made Si'er most similar to his deceased wife?

Whenever he saw his little daughter, his heart couldn't help but soften.

But his little daughter has never been close to him since she was a child, and today her attitude has finally softened a bit, and he doesn't want to become estranged from her anymore.

Old Madam Feng sneered secretly.

She knew that it would be absolutely right to bring out the fourth girl to persuade the eldest brother.

"Even if it seems like I'm to blame, I will——"

"Please invite the fourth young lady in." Old Madam Feng interrupted Jiang Ancheng and instructed the head maid Ah Fu.

Ah Fu immediately went to the ear room to invite Jiang Si.

Jiang Si was calculating the time.

By this time, my father should have understood the situation.

In the previous life, my father did not agree to advance the marriage. This time, Qiao Niang is not dead. With Lady Anguo's doting on Ji Chongyi, she would definitely not dare to send Qiao Niang away. If my father knew about it, he would definitely cancel the engagement.

Of course, when Guo talked about her family's ugly deeds, she couldn't help but whitewash them, and her father's anger almost reached its limit.

It doesn't matter. Once my second brother hears the rumors outside and comes back to tell father, he will be able to make up his mind.

Jiang Si knew clearly in her heart that at the critical moment, she could not rely on her grandmother in Ci Xin Hall who was relatively kind to her.

But why hasn’t my second brother come back yet?

"Fourth Miss, the old lady invites you in."

Jiang Si collected his thoughts and followed Ah Fu in with a calm expression.

"Fourth girl, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Jiang Si greeted Madam Feng and said with a smile, "Grandma is meeting guests, so it's only right for your granddaughter to wait for a while."

"Fourth girl is still sensible." Old Madam Feng's wrinkles deepened, and she called Jiang Si to come forward, "Si'er, do you know who the guest is?"

"My granddaughter doesn't know."

"It's the wife of the prince of Anguo." Seeing that Jiang Si's expression did not change, Madam Feng continued, "The Duke's Mansion wants you to come in earlier. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Mother!" Jiang Ancheng was so angry that his face turned black.

What's wrong with mother? She didn't even tell Si'er what happened but asked this. Isn't this just coaxing me?"

Old Madam Feng ignored Jiang Ancheng and stared at Jiang Si with burning eyes.

She understands her granddaughter better than her eldest son.

This girl is described as having high aspirations but a fragile life. I don't believe she would be willing to give up such a good marriage.

Jiang Si's expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Could it be that Mr. Ji San is going to die, and he needs me to come to his house early to celebrate?"

Old Madam Feng was stunned.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Somehow, after hearing his daughter say this, he seemed to feel relieved.

"Master Ji is fine. What are you thinking about, little girl?" Jiang Si's unconventional move took Madam Feng a while to recover from the shock.

"Could it be that the Duke of Anguo or his wife is seriously ill and they need me to marry them early to congratulate them?" Jiang Si asked again.

"Cough cough cough." Jiang Ancheng covered his smile with a cough.

Old Madam Feng started to have a headache.

Fortunately, the wife of the Prince of Anguo is not here, otherwise she would have been furious after hearing what this girl said.

"No one is sick in the Anguo Mansion."

Jiang Si said seriously, "In this case, I can't understand why they want to bring forward the marriage."

Madam Feng's temples were throbbing, and she could only explain, "It's like this. Yesterday, Mr. Ji and a girl from a commoner family went boating in the lake and accidentally fell into the water. If this matter were to spread, both families would be embarrassed, so we wanted to marry you off as soon as possible..."

Old Madam Feng said as she looked at Jiang Si's expression: "What do you think, Si'er?"

Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but become nervous.

"I wonder how the Duke of Anguo's Mansion plans to place that woman?"

"Since something like this has happened, of course we can only let that woman be a concubine. Fourth girl, you are smart and should know that a concubine is nothing but a breathing object."

Jiang Si sneered in his heart.

Something that breathes?

Ji Chongyi hadn't touched her for nearly a year because he wanted to be with a breathing object. Now it seemed that she was not even as good as a breathing object.

"Fourth girl?" Seeing that Jiang seemed silent, Old Madam Feng urged.

Jiang Si lowered her eyes, took off a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water content from her wrists, and stuffed them into Jiang Ancheng's hands.

This pair of jade bracelets was sent by the Anguo Mansion when the marriage proposal was made. Jiang Si fell in love with them at first sight and kept wearing them.

Old Madam Feng's expression changed slightly.

Jiang Si raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at Madam Feng: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I will listen to my father. If he thinks I should continue to wear the jade bracelets, I will wear them. If he thinks I should return them, I will not miss them."
