Old Madam Feng was startled and stared at Jiang Si as if she didn't know him.
Jiang Si looked calm and allowed Old Madam Jiang to look at him.
Although she did not live past the age of twenty in her previous life, she had experienced more misfortunes than an average woman would experience in her lifetime, so of course she was not afraid of being stared at.
Jiang Ancheng's expression relaxed: "Since Si'er said so, then I will make the decision and cancel the engagement!"
The word "cancel the engagement" was spoken with full force, and Jiang Si felt relieved.
"No!" Old Madam Feng shouted in a stern voice.
She had originally hoped that her granddaughter would control her eldest son, but Jiang Si's abnormal behavior made Old Lady Feng's plan go awry. So she tore off her warm veil without hesitation, and said in a cold and hard voice: "I absolutely do not agree to cancel the engagement!"
"Mother!"
"Don't say it! Do you know how many people envy you for being able to get engaged to the Duke of Anguo? Not to mention that the eldest and second girls are highly regarded by their in-laws, the families that have come to propose marriage to the third girl in the past year are much more powerful than before. To put it bluntly, they are attracted by the possibility of being related to the Duke of Anguo. Boss, even if you don't care about the fourth girl, you should consider our Earl's Mansion!"
"Mother, do you mean that I can sacrifice my son's lifelong happiness for the sake of the Bo's Mansion?" Jiang Ancheng asked back.
"You idiot! How dare you say such heart-wrenching words!" Madam Feng's body swayed, and she fell backwards holding her forehead. The maid Ah Fu beside her quickly supported her.
"Mother, are you okay?" Although Jiang Ancheng was dissatisfied with Madam Feng's behavior, he still became nervous when he saw her like this.
Old Madam Feng stared at Jiang Ancheng coldly: "You unfilial son, you actually think that I don't care about the life and death of the fourth girl for the sake of the Duke's Mansion! Isn't she my granddaughter? It is obviously a very good thing for the fourth girl to marry into the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, but you want to cancel the engagement because of a momentary temper!"
"I'm not being angry—"
"Shut up! Marriage is a matter of parents' decision, but Si'er lost her mother when she was young. Can't I, as a grandmother, make the decision? I'll make it clear today. The Duke of Anguo is at fault first. You can make some requests for Si'er, but I won't agree to cancel the engagement!"
Madam Feng's words chilled Jiang Ancheng's heart. Just as he was about to persuade her again, another maidservant beside Madam Feng, Ah Xi, ran in hurriedly, panting and begging, "Madam, it's not good. The Second Young Master, the Second Young Master--"
"What kind of trouble has that evil creature caused?" At this critical juncture, Jiang Ancheng felt a headache when he heard people mention Jiang Zhan. If Jiang Zhan was standing in front of him, he would have wanted to kick him to death.
Ah Xi's face turned pale: "The Second Young Master smashed the carriage of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion parked outside our mansion!"
"What?" Old Madam Feng no longer felt dizzy and stood up quickly.
Jiang Ancheng's anger disappeared in an instant.
Well, well done. That bastard son of a bitch does something good sometimes.
"Is the manager just here to have a leisurely meal? Why don't you stop him immediately!"
"Madam, we can't stop him. The Second Young Master is coming over here. It's not appropriate for the steward to lead people to chase him—"
"Come here?" There was a flash of confusion in Mrs. Feng's eyes.
Could it be that the bastard came here to apologize for his crime?
Madam Feng soon realized that she had thought too much. Another maid ran in and reported: "Madam, the second young master is rushing into the flower hall, and the maids can't stop him any longer!"
Old Madam Feng's vision went dark and she really felt like she was going to faint.
"Come with me!" Old Madam Feng gave Jiang Ancheng a look and hurried to the flower hall.
"Second Master, you can't go in. There are distinguished guests inside."
Jiang Zhan jumped up three feet high: "Bah, what kind of distinguished guest? How can someone who insults my sister be called a distinguished guest? Get out of my way!"
Jiang Zhan kicked the maid who was blocking his way away without any sense of sympathy.
The wife of the Crown Prince of Anguo, Mrs. Guo, was stunned.
"Are you from the Anguo Mansion?"
Guo couldn't help but stand up. If the young man rushing towards her was not so good-looking and had nothing to do with bandits, she would have run away long ago.
"I am the wife of the prince of Anguo. Who are you? How can you be so rude?" Guo tried to reason with the beautiful boy.
When Jiang Zhan heard that it was a heavyweight and he was caught in his own home, he knew he would beat him up, so he picked up the kid at his feet and smashed him.
Guo screamed, rolled her eyes and was about to faint.
A maidservant at the door called out, "Madam, you can't faint. Our Second Young Master can't stop us if he gets mad—"
When Guo heard this, she shuddered. She no longer felt dizzy or trembling, and she started running.
The small piece hit the corner of the table with a loud bang, and the corner of the table broke off immediately.
Jiang Zhan chased after him, carrying Xiao Ji in his arms: "Stop, you bullied my sister and you still want to run away?"
"You little beast, what are you doing?" Old Madam Feng hurried over and was so angry that she felt dizzy when she saw Jiang Zhan running after Guo.
Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the wife of the Earl of Dongping arrived.
A gentle young girl's voice came: "Madam, you'd better hurry back home. I can't control the Second Young Master if he goes crazy. Even if he is punished later, the damage he caused at that time cannot be undone."
When Guo heard this, she didn't even bother to look at what the girl looked like, and she ran away with her skirt lifted up under the protection of her maid.
Jiang Si looked at Guo's running back and curled the corners of his lips.
Jiang Zhan turned a deaf ear to Madam Feng's scolding and chased after her relentlessly.
"Boss, why don't you stop your evil son!"
"Mother, please don't be angry. Your son will go and stop that bastard right now." Jiang Ancheng comforted her slowly.
"Then you can go!" Old Madam Feng stamped her feet.
Jiang Ancheng then walked out.
Jiang Zhan chased Xiao Ji all the way to the gate of the mansion and smashed him hard in front of the door, and Xiao Ji was instantly torn into pieces.
"This will be the fate of anyone from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion who visits the Earl's Mansion again!"
Even when Jiang Zhan smashed the car, the outside was already crowded with people watching the fun.
People at that time loved gossip and had already found out the cause of the incident. Now they could not help but start talking about it.
"It looks like the two families are having a falling out."
"Tsk tsk, how can they not be angry? The son of the Duke of Anguo's mansion is about to get married but he committed suicide with another woman. Where does he put his fiancée?"
"That's right. If there is a family with a bad temper, this marriage cannot be concluded. Aunt Niu, what do you think? The marriage between the two families is going to be cancelled, but you just insisted that the man is from a duke's family, so it can't be cancelled."
…
Jiang Ancheng, who had rushed over, heard these discussions and put on a cold face, shouting at Jiang Zhan: "Stop making trouble, why don't you go back and accept the punishment!"
Seeing the gate of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion slowly closing, Guo felt so ashamed that she wanted to fly back to the Duke's Mansion. However, her carriage was smashed again and she had to wait for the driver to hire another one.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Guo experienced for the first time what it meant to live every day like a year.
As soon as Jiang Zhan returned to the courtyard, he knelt down with a nonchalant expression on his face: "Father can beat me or punish me if he wants, it's up to you."
"Use the family rules, you must use the family rules!" Old Madam Feng was so angry that she was shaking all over.
This excitement has already alarmed people from various institutes.
Jiang Si stepped out from the crowd and said, "Grandma, I think my second brother should not be punished, but should be rewarded."
