On the second day after Shen Rui got married, when the new daughter-in-law served tea, Xia Tian carefully observed Liu's expression. Liu had a dull expression all the time.
He would glance at them from time to time.
Chen Ke had a dark face and didn't say a word.
Su Ying looked calm as she served tea, not as nervous as she was yesterday.
After the tea ceremony, Xia Tian went to look for the Second Madam.
"Second Aunt, did everything go well yesterday?"
"It went smoothly." The Second Madam nodded, "but my eldest sister-in-law seemed a little suspicious of me at the time."
The Second Madam recalled the look Liu gave her, and she probably suspected her, although she pretended to be stupid and got away with it at the time. She didn't know whether Liu believed it or not.
"It's okay. She has no evidence, so it's normal for her to be suspicious." Xia Tian analyzed, "After all, she set us up at the time, but we were all fine. It's normal for her to be suspicious."
"That's true." The Second Madam nodded in agreement, but she gnashed her teeth in anger. "I just didn't expect her to be so cruel. She even framed my new daughter-in-law. She's truly heartless!"
Fortunately, it was discovered. If it hadn't been discovered, she and her family members Chen Rui and Su Ying would have become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Including Shen Nian, the youngest assistant minister of the Ministry of War, will become a joke.
And then he was impeached by the censor for his corrupt personal conduct, and his career as an official would probably be over.
"Second Aunt, how did the matter between Chen Ke and Miss Liu end?"
Xia Tian still doesn’t know the final outcome of this matter, but hopes that Madam Liu San can be more supportive and make this matter a reality.
The Second Madam shook her head, "I'm not sure. But yesterday I heard from Third Madam Liu that she wanted Chen Ke to marry Liu Jin'er. I think this will definitely work out."
Putting aside the fact that Madam Liu San is Liu's sister-in-law from her natal family, as for the matter of Liu Jin'er and Shen Ke sleeping in the same bed, it seems that there is no other way except to let Liu Jin'er marry Shen Ke.
"Well, that's all right. Maybe we'll know the result in two days." Xia Tian stood up. "Second Aunt, I'll go back first."
Xia Tian said goodbye and left the Second Madam's yard, taking Ningxiang out.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else in the afternoon, so they just went shopping on the street.
She stayed in the study painting for the next three days and didn't go anywhere else.
On the fourth day, she received a message from Lin Sayu inviting her to have tea.
After lunch, she took Ningxiang out.
The moment she saw Lin Sayu, she looked around curiously, but didn't see Hu Mengyao and Wen Jin.
"Why don't I see Wen Jin and Hu Mengyao?" Xia Tian asked as he followed Lin Sayu up to the teahouse.
These three people have always been inseparable from each other!
"Oh, I have something to talk to you about today." Lin Sayu took her arm and walked into the private room.
"Come and sit down." Lin Sayu pushed Xia Tian onto the chair and poured her a cup of tea.
Seeing her busying around and trying to please her, she wanted to laugh, "If you have something to say, just say it. I'm afraid of you being like this!"
Lin Sayu glanced at her and said, "I'm just laying the groundwork!"
"Okay, sit down now. Stop laying the groundwork." Xia Tian pulled Lin Sayu to sit down. "Just tell me what you want to say."
Lin Sayu looked around and told her maid, "Zhonglan, go guard the door."
"Yes, Miss." Zhonglan agreed and went out.
Ningxiang felt that it was not appropriate for her to be here, so she smiled and said to her, "Madam, I will go and talk to Zhonglan."
"Well, go ahead." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.
She knew that this was the mysterious place where Ningxiang looked at Lin Sayu and wanted to leave the space for the two of them.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Lin Sayu leaned over to her and whispered, "Xia Tian, do you know that Chen Ke and Miss Wan broke off their engagement?"
"Cancel the engagement?" Xia Tian was surprised. She really didn't know this.
"You don't know?" Lin Sayu was also surprised!
Xia Tian nodded, "When did it happen?"
She thought Liu would cancel the engagement, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
It seems that Madam Liu San has put a lot of pressure on the Liu family.
"Just yesterday, I thought you knew it and wanted to ask you the reason!" Lin Sayu was a little disappointed.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an went to the home of the Minister of Justice, Lord Wan, early in the morning to break off the engagement, which made Mrs. Wan so angry that Miss Wan Er almost hit her.
When her mother heard about this, she asked her to find Xia Tian to find out why the engagement was called off.
Seeing that Xia Tian didn't know about the broken engagement, Lin Sayu thought that she would not be able to find out anything and felt a little disappointed.
"Although I don't know about the broken engagement, I know why they broke it off." Xia Tian whispered.
"Really?" Lin Sayu immediately became excited. "What's the reason? Tell me!"
I hope it’s not because of Miss Wan’s problem.
"Then can you tell me why you are asking this?" She was also curious. Why was Lin Sayu so active in finding out about Chen Ke's broken off engagement?
"Hey! Didn't I tell you that my mother likes Sister Wan very much? I just want to know the reason. If it wasn't Sister Wan's problem, my mother wanted to propose her to my third brother!"
Lin Sayu felt a little embarrassed at the end!
Xia Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this!
She still remembered that when she met Miss Wan, they hit it off immediately. She felt sorry for her for finding someone like Chen Ke and even thought about ruining the relationship for her.
Unexpectedly, this time I unexpectedly helped her.
"Your mother will definitely get what she wants this time." Xia Tian smiled, leaned close to Lin Sayu's ear and told her about Chen Ke and Liu Jiner.
Lin Sayu was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!
She thought of every possible reason, except this one.
