Lord Yu is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him. Since the Crown Prince has come to him to ask him to cancel the engagement, he must have sufficient reasons.
He had to accept this favor.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Elder Yu nodded, "I'm sorry that your Highness is worried about my useless granddaughter. I will obey your Highness's order and arrange for her to be married off in the future."
Since it's a replacement marriage, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman. Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, just find a servant to fool her.
After Lord Yu agreed, Xiao Cunyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, getting married is like being reborn a second time for a woman. Knowing that there were problems with the Han family father and son, she couldn't bear to watch the girl from the Yu family become a laughing stock in the capital.
The title of prince is indeed useful. If she came here alone today, even if she was not driven out by the Yu family, she would have to talk her mouth off to make the Yu family interested, and she might not even be able to see the old man.
Thinking back to her previous experience of kicking the door with great effort, she felt that today's smooth journey was unreal!
Xiao Cunyu was not in a hurry to leave, but counted on his fingers.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I wonder if you could ask Miss Yu to come over so you can explain it to her in front of us?"
Although Lord Yu agreed, he was afraid that the little girl would do something unreasonable. Moreover, an elder like Lord Yu would only give orders to the younger generation and say a few words for the good of the child without giving too much explanation.
It would be bad if Miss Yu couldn't figure it out and committed suicide.
Upon hearing this, Lord Yu frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. After all, these were two outsiders...
But after thinking about it, Lord Yu realized that the matter was serious, so he asked someone to bring his granddaughter over.
Yu Qinglian arrived soon. She looked elegant and had a good appearance, but she had recently suffered a disaster.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and greetings to Mr. Xiao Qilang..." Yu Qinglian had delicate features and looked very pleasing.
Elder Yu sighed softly, feeling somewhat sorry for his granddaughter. He then said, "Girl, your wedding day is the day after tomorrow, but something unexpected has happened..."
Yu Qinglian's face turned pale when she heard this: "Grandfather, what happened to Master Han?"
"Yes, there are some things... the day after tomorrow... you don't have to get married." Lord Yu said again.
Yu Qinglian swayed slightly. "Grandfather! Why...why is this happening? The marriage between our two families has been decided. Even if something happened to the Han family, we shouldn't break the contract. Besides, the wedding is the day after tomorrow. If we break the contract now, how will others view our Yu family?!"
She was very puzzled.
This marriage has been arranged for two years. During these two years, she has been prepared to marry into the Han family and has also thought about how to take care of her husband and children in the future. Besides, the Han family has a good family tradition, and she has high expectations for her future husband. But now she is suddenly told that she will not get married?
For a moment, Yu Qinglian seemed to have lost her backbone, her face turned pale and her whole body felt weak.
"If you listen to me, grandpa won't harm you. You really can't marry into the Han family now, but in the future... grandpa will choose a good marriage for you." Lord Yu really wasn't going to tell the truth.
Lord Yu is old and rather conservative. In his opinion, the Han family has not been convicted yet, so it would be inappropriate for him to tell his granddaughter the charges first. If they are accidentally leaked, it would ruin the prince's career.
"I don't……"
"Miss Yu." Yu Qinglian was about to argue when Xiao Cunyu spoke.
Yu Qinglian looked at her in confusion.
"The one you're engaged to is the young master of the Han family, right?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
Yu Qinglian nodded.
This matter is known to everyone in the capital.
"That's easy to say. The young master of the Han family has long passed away, and the one in the Han family now is a fake. I think you have a reason not to marry him, right? And if nothing unexpected happens, this fake young master Han may not even see the sun the day after tomorrow. By then, the Han family will be in chaos. After you go there, you will be useless except for being laughed at by others."
