Chapter 462 Death?
Jiang Yunwan finally saw Zhuang Liyue's entire face and smiled slightly, saying, "Perhaps our mother-daughter relationship in our previous life wasn't over yet, so in this life we're biological mother and daughter without any blood relationship."
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Ming En's, and both of them have beautiful double eyelids.
But, her double eyelids are not as natural as Ming En's.
Zhuang Liyue: "That's right, the fact that you can be Sister Yu'er's adoptive mother also shows that Sister Yu'er is a blessed child. If she had been taken away by someone else, Sister Ye might never have known that she had a granddaughter living among the common people."
Jiang family: You also have a son living among the people but no one knows about it.
"...Eh, it's a bit of a pity. If we had returned to Beijing earlier, we could have met Sister Yu'er's adoptive father. I heard that he was a scholar at the age of ten."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunwan's eyes instantly reddened. "Yes, he's very smart and filial, and treats his younger siblings very well. For years, I've been puzzled as to why Ming'en works so hard to ensure a good life for his family, yet he's not favored by his mother-in-law. On the way back to Beijing, I learned that Ming'en wasn't a child of the Song family. I thought I'd take the imperial examinations and find my biological parents along the way, but that was a beautiful dream. My Ming'en suddenly fell ill and left us three behind."
"Don't be sad, Wanwan. The dead cannot be resurrected." Gu Wanqing suddenly spoke to comfort her, "You have to look forward to the future. Ming'en naturally hopes that you will be happy and smooth in the days ahead. You must take good care of your pregnancy. Ming'en naturally hopes that you will give birth to the child safely. Our three families will be relatives in the future. Sister Yu will call my sister grandmother, and naturally she will call me uncle grandpa. Then the child will call me uncle grandpa in the future, just like Sister Yu."
"Hmph!" Old Jiang said sullenly, "The child is my grandson. Don't try to take advantage of him. My grandson wants to be an official in the future."
This old guy is now setting his sights on his grandson!
Gu Wanqing felt very sad. Old Jiang no longer liked him.
"Mr. Jiang, Sister Yu is engaged to my godson. Even if the child doesn't call me great-uncle, I am still the child's great-uncle."
"Don't even think about it. Our family didn't come here to discuss marriage this time!"
Jiang Yunwan spoke up hastily, "Madam Du, Prince and Princess, I married Ming En not long ago, and my sister Yu has to observe a three-year mourning period. Prince Xiao will be 21 by then, and there will be many children of the same age. We don't want to delay Prince Xiao's lifelong event, so this engagement should be cancelled."
Invalid?
Du Zhihuan found it hard to accept. Didn't all her hard work for so long have been in vain?
Or did Song Yu take back the engagement in the first place just because he didn't want her to marry her brother?
Xiao Chengqian clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. For the first time in his life, he felt like he was being fooled!
What qualifications do the Jiang family have to humiliate him?
Zhuang Liyue was in a bad mood, but she didn't show it on her face. "Wanwan, it's perfectly normal for Sister Yu to observe mourning. Waiting three years won't hurt. We're not in a rush to have a great-grandchild. The prince and I value Sister Yu the most and really want her to be our grandson's wife."
Xiao Yanxu quickly echoed, "Yes, that's right. We like Yu girl very much. When Yu girl marries us in the future, we will protect her. Her son won't dare bully her."
Jiang Yunwan: "Your Highness, Princess, to be honest, Sister Yu has been weak since childhood, and lacks luck. She still has a great calamity in her life. Taoist Wuji said that Sister Yu must stay with me until she is at least twenty before she can marry. Otherwise, she will die a violent death and will also bring trouble to her husband's family."
"Is this true? Are you kidding me?" Du Ye was trembling with fear, tightly gripping Du Zhihuan's hand. "...Didn't Wu Lingheng fail in his last attempt to burn down the inn?"
Du Zhihuan glanced at Xiao Chengqian.
Jiang Yunwan said it as if it were true.
Song Yu is indeed facing death threats now.
The resentment in Xiao Chengqian's heart dissipated. No wonder he and Sister Yu couldn't be as honest with each other as Huanhuan.
She liked him, but didn't dare to really fall in love with him.
Du Henian and Su Beiqing were frightened. "Wanwan, you guys returned to Beijing safely, right? Sister Yu's danger should have passed. You're not making up a lie that you don't want Sister Yu to marry Prince Xiao, are you?"
The three brothers of the Du family looked at Jiang Yunwan, eager to know whether this was true or false?
This can't be true!
How could their own sister have such bad luck?
My sister was adopted by Jiang Yunwan, so how can she have bad luck?
"How could I joke about this? How could Taoist Wuji lie? If you don't believe me, you can go ask Taoist Wuji. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would worry."
No one in the Jiang family believed Jiang Yunwan's words except Jiang Shiyun.
Jiang Shiyun firmly believed that Du Zhihuan could come and cut her cousin's face at any time.
Jiang Yunwan looked at Xiao Yanxu and Zhuang Liyue with an apologetic look.
"Back then, when Madam Du wanted to take Sister Yu back, we refused. We proposed revoking the engagement just to make Madam Du give up. But she actually did it. We couldn't go back on our word, so we decided to let Sister Yu return to the Du family first. Only then would we discuss the marriage again after you return."
"Today I have come to confess this matter and cancel the engagement. If you think I am not giving face to Prince Rong's Mansion, what do you think? I must confess this matter. I don't want to delay Prince Xiao. Please find another in-law for him."
The hall was silent for a while and no one spoke.
Du Ye glanced at Du Zhihuan and saw that she looked calm, but she felt puzzled.
Sister Yu clearly showed that she was very fond of Prince Xiao when she came back from Luming Mountain?
Why is there no response now?
Hey, Sister Yu is such a good actor that she can’t even tell which one is the real her.
"Ning'er, Wanwan has raised Sister Yu with great difficulty over the years. Naturally, Wanwan has the final say on Sister Yu's marriage. Now that she disagrees, what do you think...or can you wait another three years?"
"Since the two children are not destined to be together, we can't force it!"
Zhuang Liyue stood up and pulled Xiao Chengqian out of the main hall with a grim expression. Gu Wanqing and his two grandchildren also hurriedly followed.
“Bang!”
Xiao Yanxu slammed his hand on the table, his face sullen, "If my princess is unhappy, neither of your two families will have an easy time!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Du Henian quickly chased out to apologize. What was going on?
"Your Majesty, I have a daughter at home."
Xiao Yanxu's expression darkened even further. "All the women in the world are dead, and my godson must marry your daughter? If you can't coax my princess into submission, I'll make you pay!"
"No, Your Highness, calm down. Isn't my sister Yu special? If I force her to marry, won't it bring disaster to the palace? Otherwise, why not wait until my sister Yu turns twenty before marrying her?"
"Get lost! I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson!"
Xiao Yanxu chased out, "Gan'er, why are you back again?"
"I want to ask Sister Yu in person whether she really likes me or not."
"Don't go." Xiao Yanxu held him back. "Even if she loves you, you can't wait until she's twenty. Grandfather can't wait that long."
Zhuang Liyue: "Ah Xu, let him go and ask, otherwise Gan'er will be upset."
At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall was depressing and no one spoke.
"Miss." Bai Lan came in. "Prince Xiao is back again and said he has something to ask you. He's already waiting in the back garden."
"Mother." Du Zhihuan looked at Jiang Yunwan.
"Go ahead and tell him clearly that you don't like him."
It turns out that Song Yu doesn't like Prince Xiao at all.
She felt a little regretful now.
After Du Zhihuan left, Du Yeshi said, "Wanwan, tell me the truth. Is Sister Yu still in danger of death?"
"Of course I haven't survived the catastrophe yet, but don't worry, Sister Yu will definitely survive it."
Du Ye glanced at the Jiang family and asked, "Do you have any ideas to help Sister Yu survive this ordeal as soon as possible? We can't wait until the 20th."
Jiang Yunwan: "Don't worry, we will find a way to get Sister Yu married sooner."
Du Zhiyi: "Aunt, does Taoist Wuji have any solution?"
"It should have been resolved." Jiang Shiyun suddenly said, "If my cousin hadn't married Prince Xiao, Du Zhihuan wouldn't have thought of persecuting my cousin."
"What do you mean? How could Huanhuan possibly harm Sister Yu?"
