Madam Su looked ashen-faced, filled with grief and indignation.
Secretly enjoying the terrible expressions on the faces of the Song family members, Wei Shuwan gradually came to appreciate the pleasure of toying with others.
After she had enjoyed the show enough, she didn't want to waste any more time with these annoying people, so she got up from her chair, looking languid and speaking indifferently: "Fine, since you're reluctant to part with that person, why don't Zichen and I break off the engagement?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled a piece of paper from her sleeve and quickly stamped her fingerprint on it.
Song Zichen stared wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "Really?"
"really."
Wei Shuwan walked up to him decisively and handed him the paper: "This is the annulment of the engagement."
Song Zichen blankly reached out and caught it, then saw Wei Shuwan take out another piece of paper.
"This is the engagement certificate from back then." With that, she tore the second piece of paper to shreds in front of everyone.
In the blink of an eye, the annulment process was completed. Su watched from the side, her face frozen in shock, almost thinking that there was something wrong with her eyes and ears!
Master Song's fingers, gripping the lion-patterned armrest, turned white. He was so excited he almost gouged out the lion's eyeballs! He truly hadn't expected that the words he had struggled to utter would be spoken by the Wei family before he could!
Witnessing this scene, Wei Zheng and Sun Lurong became worried.
After the incident of falling into the water, they no longer believed that Song Zichen was a trustworthy person. It was certainly a good thing that their daughter could take things in stride, but was she being so resolute? Was she just talking big while harboring resentment in her heart?
But they stared at their daughter for a long time, and she didn't seem to be putting on a brave face at all.
Wei Shuwan yawned lazily, lightly patting her lips with her slender fingers: "Alright, let's call this matter closed. From now on, I have nothing to do with Young Master Song. Please forgive me for being ill and unable to stay with you for long."
She nodded slightly, as if to leave.
Su Xueyi, who had previously dared not look up at her, now looked at her with confusion, unable to understand how a mere merchant's daughter could be willing to give up her outstanding cousin.
Su Xueyi thought today would be a tough battle, so she shamelessly begged her aunt to bring her along, also wanting to witness firsthand Wei Shuwan's hysterical outburst and how she completely alienated her cousin.
I didn't expect things to end so abruptly... I couldn't tell whether I was happy or disappointed.
Among the many gazes directed at her, Wei Shuwan precisely spotted Su Xueyi. When she looked back, Su Xueyi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid the gaze.
Su Xueyi didn't know why, but even though Wei Shuwan was about the same height as her, she had the illusion of looking up at someone in a superior position when she looked at him at eye level.
And then there's Wei Shuwan's voice, seemingly casual, yet every word ends with a subtle hook, captivating the soul!
In short, everything about her is extremely annoying.
Just as Su Xueyi was thinking this, that annoying voice floated down from above again: "Come with me to retrieve the few trinkets your young master gave you in the past, so that we can settle things."
Su Xueyi's beautiful eyes widened as she looked up to confirm that Wei Shuwan's words were indeed directed at her. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She cast a pleading look at Song Zichen, but Song Zichen only said, "Go."
Su Xueyi had no choice but to grit her teeth and step forward.
Madam Su looked rather ashen, not because she was worried about her niece, but because of what Wei Shuwan had said earlier.
She knew that her son had no private dealings with Wei Shuwan, nor had they exchanged anything privately. Therefore, the "several trinkets given to him in the past" that Wei Shuwan mentioned naturally referred to the several loads of betrothal gifts given during the betrothal ceremony.
That's incredibly arrogant!
Wei Shuwan was still ill and could only walk slowly, while Su Xueyi followed closely behind.
When she was about seven or eight steps away from the vermilion pillar, Wei Shuwan slowed down and carefully surveyed the ground.
She had stumbled here in her past life, leaving a scar on her forehead that would stay with her for life. At the time, she was confused and didn't understand what had happened, but now that she was paying attention, she found a small puddle of suspicious water.
It rained for several days after the start of autumn, and it only stopped this morning. Normally, it wouldn't be unusual for a few drops of rain to get in. However, the rainwater was pure and clear, and flowed well, so the water stains on the ground were noticeably thicker, looking more like oil.
Wei Shuwan frowned slightly. Could it be that hitting the pillar in her previous life was not an accident after all?
She suddenly remembered that Su Xueyi had left alone just now.
Actually, it was quite simple to test whether it was Su Xueyi. Wei Shuwan continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. When she passed the oil stain, she deliberately veered to the left, stopped and called out, "Come here, I have something to tell your young master."
Left is considered the more honorable side. If Su Xueyi had nothing to hide, she should have walked to Wei Shuwan's right side to receive instructions, which happened to be where the oil stain was. However, Su Xueyi hesitated for a moment, but risked disrespect and walked to Wei Shuwan's left side.
Looking into her flickering eyes, the answer was self-evident.
Wei Shuwan curled her lips slightly and chuckled, "Tell him I wish him a son soon."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Su Xueyi's belly. Although it was not yet visible, she knew that Su Xueyi was two months pregnant.
In her previous life, Su Xueyi was three months pregnant when she entered the family. Song Zichen said that she was generous enough to consummate their marriage, but in reality, she was just pregnant and her pregnancy was not yet stable.
This blessing left Su Xueyi somewhat puzzled. What kind of woman would be so magnanimous after breaking off an engagement? Was she being sarcastic?
Wei Shuwan didn't give her much time to think. As soon as she turned around and took a step, she inexplicably leaned backward! Su Xueyi behind her hurriedly dodged, but in her panic, she lost her footing and avoided Wei Shuwan. However, she couldn't avoid the puddle of oil. She slipped and stumbled twice before crying out and falling to the ground!
Wei Shuwan adjusted her posture in time, narrowly escaping danger.
