However, their Qu family can look down on Li Qingluo, but they should never provoke Old Madam Pei.
After Mrs. Pei woke up and knew the truth, she did not punish Gu Qing and Nanny Chen severely. She even agreed with Li Qingluo's suggestion that Nanny Chen go to the farm to keep an eye on Gu Qing's future actions.
Then Mrs. Pei wrote several letters.
They all fell into the hands of several wealthy families in Jinling City.
The Qu family is indeed prosperous nowadays.
But there are definitely many people who want to bring him down.
A few days later, the emperor received the impeachment memorial of the Qu family.
They said the Qu family was corrupt, that the Qu family was connected with casinos, and that the Qu family embezzled money from the national treasury but took a lot of it home.
It was also said that the Qu family bought land and shops everywhere and made a lot of money.
The emperor had a terrible headache.
He is now wholeheartedly supporting the Qu family, and of course he doesn't want the Qu family to bring someone down so quickly.
So he scolded Minister Qu on the surface, and then asked people to investigate the evidence of the Qu family's crimes, but then he turned around and asked the Qu family to clean up their own mess first.
The Qu family has indeed been in a state of panic recently.
His brother had gotten into trouble with Li Kechuan and even a group of beggars in a dilapidated temple, and he was surrounded by enemies in the court. Seeing that the foundation of his family was a little shaken, he began to worry.
Nanny Zhang went to the Qu family yesterday to cancel the engagement, but the Qu family was unwilling to do so.
They knew that their distant relative was now being held hostage by Mrs. Pei's farm.
But so what?
Anyway, they have no evidence that it was done by the Qu family. They are just distant relatives. Does that mean whatever they say is the truth?
The worst that can happen is that your reputation will be damaged.
But in fact, the Qu family did not expect that Madam Pei could survive under such circumstances.
What was even more unexpected was that Li Qingluo had the courage to lead Madam Pei out of the general's mansion.
What was unexpected was that Li Qingluo acted so decisively and at the same time remained calm, not rushing to send people to the government for conviction.
Otherwise, if it was sent to the government office, the Qu family would have taken action long ago.
Can we still let them have something to hold against us now?
How could they be willing to let go of the marriage they had worked so hard to plan?
Unexpectedly, Nanny Zhang led people to the gate of the Qu family and shouted, "Everyone come quickly. I heard that the fourth son of the Qu family recently did something shameless with the eldest son of the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane in the dilapidated temple west of the city! What exactly happened? I'm sure everyone has heard some rumors by now."
"But there's more to it than that. There was also a group of beggars in that dilapidated temple, and they also participated in the melee that day!"
"Oh my goodness, what a scene that was! Even if I had lived for fifty years, I'd never heard of such a shocking scandal. Can you imagine it?"
"And the Qu family is so shameless that they've reached the point of being a grandmother. Even after their son got into this kind of trouble, they didn't even take the initiative to cancel the engagement and even dreamed of marrying my daughter. Ugh!"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of toad you are? Even if you were a juren, your reputation is now completely ruined. You are short, ugly, and a homosexual. Our daughter can't afford to be with such a master!"
"If you, the Qu family, are willing to be human beings, sign the divorce agreement immediately!"
The Qu family was so ashamed and angry after being scolded that they wanted to teach Madam Zhang a lesson on the spot.
Nanny Zhang was no pushover. With a wave of her hand, a dozen nannies rushed forward and beat the dozen servants of the Qu family to the ground, unable to move.
Everyone was stunned.
These are some old ladies, all of them are old and weak, but they were beaten to a pulp by a group of young and strong men?
The Qu family has been humiliated this time, and it is really impossible to pick it up again.
The people of Jinling City also watched the fun.
But Aunt Zhang looked as if she would not give up unless the engagement was cancelled today.
The Qu family could no longer afford it, so they signed the document immediately and asked Aunt Zhang to take everyone away.
Aunt Zhang happily put away the letter of annulment and said, "If your family had known better and not provoked us earlier, would we have encountered all this today?"
"But this matter is not over yet, let's wait and see!"
After saying this, Aunt Zhang arrogantly led her people away.
In comparison, it seems that the Qu family is the poor one being bullied.
At this moment, Li Qingluo had already received the letter of withdrawal of engagement.
She put it away with satisfaction.
"They're quite sensible."
Otherwise, Xun Ge’er’s life and innocence would be lost.
Duan Rongshi sat opposite Li Qingluo and had breakfast.
Seeing her mysteriously putting away a piece of paper, he casually asked, "What makes you so happy?"
Li Qingluo waved his hand and Gu Qing hurried down.
Li Qingluo replied, "It's nothing serious. It's just the Qu family's letter of withdrawal from the engagement."
But the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Duan Rongshi put down his chopsticks and frowned: "When did the Qu family get you engaged? Who? Which son?"
Li Qingluo: "It's Qu Daoxun, the fourth son of the Qu family. The Qu family and the General's Mansion are so secretive about this, so it's not surprising that Your Highness doesn't know."
"And it was during the first month of the lunar year when my grandmother and I left the general's residence. Even my grandmother and I only learned about this afterward."
If it weren't for the spies in the General's Mansion, Li Qingluo would probably have to wait until the day of the wedding, when the Qu family brought the bridal sedan to General Xiuli's Mansion, before she knew that her marriage had been sold by Qu and Li Chaojing again.
Fortunately, although it took some effort to cancel the engagement this time, it was not too troublesome.
Duan Rongshi turned his head to look at Leng Dian behind him.
Leng Dian shuddered.
Oh no, they have been focusing on the Pei family and the deposed crown prince recently. As for the Li family, they haven't been paying attention to them since His Highness and the young lady became close.
So who knew that the girl was engaged again?
