Sweet Beauty Chapter 10: Dissolve the engagement

"Whether it's nonsense, call your distant relative and ask if you don't know!"

Chen's face was also ugly, she said coldly to Mrs. Wen with a sullen face, "This matter has to be made clear, if the son of your family has already engaged with some cousin, but he dares to deliberately conceal the marriage contract and deceive relatives, and my family Talking about marriage, this matter is reported to the yamen, not only the previous marriage contract between the two families is not counted, but also the son's reputation will be dismissed!"

Mrs. Wen was trembling with anger when she heard that, her son was her whole life's hope, and this man dared to destroy her son!

Her son, who has been in winter for thirty-nine years, Hannian for three-and-a-half years, and cold windows for more than ten years, has achieved today and has a bright future in the future. This wicked woman dared to speak slanderous words and wanted to ruin her son's future. !

She straightened her back and said loudly: "Mrs. Bai, if you feel regretful about your marriage, please say it straight, your daughter wants to find another Gaozhi, we will not stop our son if he can't climb up, but we will find a maid. Just come to my house and slander my son with white teeth. Even though I am white, I have nothing to be afraid of! Zhulan, go and fetch the keepsake document in my room with the Bai family, and we will be with the Bai family. Break the engagement! So as not to block the way of her family and slander my son!"

The named maid Zhulan was shocked by the sudden situation, and she was not sure if it was true or angry after receiving the order from her own wife. Said: "Madam ordered you, so hurry up and get it."

There was a lot of pressure in the smile, and her tone did not seem to have any other hints, but directly threatened her, making her follow the order to get something.

Zhu Lan's heart froze and she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she retreated to the backyard to get the paper token.

Then Mrs. He pulled Mrs. Wen to sit down, and was waiting to appease her, when Mrs. Bai saw the maid go down, but she sneered: "Mr. Wu, did you slander and call your house? That distant relative came forward to ask clearly, if you are guilty and refuse to ask her to come over and confront her on the spot, let's see you in the yamen!"

As he spoke, he stood up, and ordered the maid next to him to arrange for someone to quickly return to the house to get the betrothal token and documents. At the same time, he was about to call his daughter Jingshu to leave.

Ms. Wu is that Mrs. Wen, and her maiden's family name is Wu. At this time, her face is torn apart, and Mrs. Chen is no longer impatient to call her sister Wen.

Mrs. He hurriedly called Mrs. Bai and asked her to calm down first, and then turned to persuade Mrs. Wen who was beside her, "Cousin, this matter can't be true, it can't be true, it's about the future of your nephew, you You can't take it easy."

"If this matter goes to the yamen, it will be a big mess, and I'm afraid it won't be able to close the scene. Even if it is fake, the yamen's investigation will not delay the nephew's spring, if it is true, it will not be better. Now, as an example, the nephew's name..."

Seeing that Mrs Wu's face was sinking with anger when she heard this, Mrs. He hurriedly said, "I think it's better to ask that distant relative to come forward and confront him, if it wasn't for the girl just now As I said, everyone misunderstood a reconciliation. If it happens to be true, it will be a long time. I am afraid that my brother-in-law decided that you and your nephew don’t know about the marriage, so you and your nephew are not to blame. Let's just settle with the Bai family."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I think the Chen family is unwilling to give up on this matter. Why don't you just let this marriage contract privately? As for the cousin, this city of Changzhou is located in a remote area. Who knows when you go to the capital? It's just an orphan girl, so it's not up to you. But the Bai family is a scholarly family, and the foundation is still in Beijing. If they offend the Bai family, they are afraid that it will hinder the future of their nephew. This is really inappropriate. It's a big mess."

Mrs. Wen was very angry, but she also knew that what her cousin said was true. At this time, it really doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as the Bai family doesn't give up, then her son will not be able to go to the capital to participate in the spring festival!

This miss will have to wait another three years! But the marriage of the son and daughter can't wait!

No matter how reluctant she was in her heart, she had to call the mammy who had been stunned and sent the letter, and asked her to bring the person who came to marry.

She pursed her lips, feeling uneasy in her heart, and then called her confidant and sister-in-law to go with her, so that the person who was married could "talk properly" for a while.

After a while, she was wearing plain clothes and common clothes. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and a girl who looked pretty but was a little disheveled and had a bitter look was brought up, followed by an old servant woman with white hair who described her as rickety.

Seeing her coming up, the people in the hall really have different expressions and thoughts.

As soon as Mrs. Wen saw these two people, she felt a thump in her heart. The grandma who killed Qiandao just now didn't make it clear. She only talked about the distant relatives who escaped from the north, and she didn't want to be her sister-in-law's daughter! Although Zhou Lanyue was born in the North since she was a child, when Master Wen was still alive, the child also followed her mother to Wen's house. Although she was only five or six years old at the time, her eyes did not change much.

And that old servant girl, although she was horribly old and hunched, she was an old servant of the Wen family. She was married to her sister-in-law all the way out. Mrs. Wen naturally recognized it, and even the old servants in the family or old acquaintances in the city might also recognize her. I can't deny it!

Among the people present, in addition to Mrs. Wen's Mrs. Wu and Dongying, there was one other person who had also seen this cousin of the Wen family, and that was Jing Shu.

Jing Shu remembered that this cousin also appeared in her previous life, and later went to Beijing with her, but there was no news of a marriage contract, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Even later, she only heard that Wen Xiyuan married a worker The granddaughter of the minister of calligraphy did not know what happened to this cousin later.

I don't want to have such an incident. Could it be that the Wen family had hidden him in a previous life? I just don't know what happened in this world, what will happen in the future?

//

Let's say that no matter what everyone's thoughts and expressions were, when Zhou Lanyue entered the hall and looked around on the table, she immediately recognized her aunt, knelt down with a plop, and cried out "Auntie" with a sad voice. Sadness only made Mrs. Wen tremble and hate in her heart.

Then it was Dongying's hateful and crisp voice again: "Sister Zhou, tell me quickly, did you come to go to your aunt's house, and you said that you and your aunt's house have been with you since you were a child? My cousin is engaged, and this time I’m here to fulfill the engagement? I’m not talking nonsense!”

Mrs. Wen gave Dong Ying a vicious look, and could only wish to stab this vulgar girl who didn't know the rules.

But this time, Dongying was not afraid of her, because she realized that she had the support of her own wife and young lady, so she was righteous, and when she saw Mrs. Wen staring at her, she raised her chin slightly and hummed. He stared back in disdain.

Mrs. Wen was so angry that she fell to her knees.

However, what surprised Dongying was that Zhou Lanyue shrank a little when she heard her words, raised her eyes and glanced at her a little dodgingly, and called out "Sister Xiaoying" in a low voice, then she bit her lip and lowered her voice. Nodding his head, he refused to speak.

Doesn't admit it, but doesn't deny it either.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen knew that she must have told her that she had become a mama before, but the girl who didn't wink didn't deny it directly. Could it be that she was really thinking about it?

To be honest, Mrs. Wen really didn't listen to her deceased husband, Mr. Wen, who said that he had arranged a marriage for his son and his sister's daughter Zhou Lanyue, otherwise she couldn't be so righteous and let things develop to the present. Such a situation.

She still thinks that it may be Lan Yue, who sees that she is helpless and has nothing, and it is not necessarily that she wants to rely on her son who has a bright future.

Mrs. Wen felt another hatred in her heart when she thought of this.

She forced a smile and said to Zhou Lanyue, "Lanyue, you've worked hard all the way, dear boy, my aunt didn't know it was you before, but now that you're at your aunt's house, you don't have to worry anymore."

As he spoke, he said to the old servant woman behind Zhou Lanyue, "Mother Yu, they were talking about a marriage contract before, but as far as I know, my master did not arrange any marriage for Xi Yuan and Lanyue during his lifetime. The north is far away. , My sister-in-law herself suffered from being married far away, and she once told me that she would never marry her daughter far away."

Speaking for a while, then continued, "Is there any misunderstanding? But my aunt was worried that no one would take care of Lan Yue, so she made such a marriage contract, so that Lan Yue would come to join us? Well, actually My sister-in-law is really worrying, Lan Yue is the niece of the master, she is helpless now, she has no marriage contract, and I will love her like her own daughter."

Her tone was gentle, loving and deplorable, and she was still so helpless, but the eyes that shot at the old servant were extremely cold and threatening.

The old servant Yu Ma shuddered. She glanced at the tearful Zhou Lanyue lovingly, sighed deeply, and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle, Madam, it is true that this matter is true, and it is true that it is not true. This marriage contract was originally proposed by the old lady before she was alive, and you can be forgiven for not knowing it, but this matter is indeed true.

While speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his arms that covered three layers inside and outside. Everyone saw that although this old mama and Zhou Lanyue were in a state of despair, this jade pendant was of good quality. Thinking that they came from the north and were displaced all the way, they were not willing to be this jade pendant, and it was common for the old man to marry his grandson and granddaughter, so he felt that it was probably true.

Mrs. Wen was so angry that her face was as black as the bottom of a pot and her eyes were as cold as ice, but in front of everyone, she didn't dare to be too complacent and attacked immediately.

The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wen's eyes that were about to freeze, sighed again, and continued, "It's just, it's no wonder that my uncle doesn't know about this, although the old lady has this proposal , but my uncle and my wife never mentioned it again, so this matter is really confusing."

When Zhou Lanyue heard this, she couldn't help sobbing, but she didn't say anything.

"Huh."

Without waiting for Mrs. Wen's reaction to what the old lady said, Mrs. Bai, who was sitting on the other side, sneered.

She said: "Okay, I don't care what kind of confusion your family has, but my innocent daughter can't mess with this mess. The marriage tokens and documents of the two families were handed over, and the marriage of our two families was cancelled in public, and that's it. Otherwise,"

She paused, looked at Mrs. Wen coldly and said, "Otherwise, let's meet in the yamen. Let's see if the prefect of Changzhou City can take care of your family's stupid account."

Mrs. Wen was so angry that her teeth were clenched, her face was ashen, and Mrs. He, who was beside her, pinched Mrs. Wen's arm, and then hurriedly smiled and said: "Kindness, marriage, it is a century-old relationship, a happy relationship, Don't care about the old man's joke about the marriage contract, but since the Bai family and the Wen family have no interest in this marriage, I don't think it's better if we testify and cancel the marriage contract."

As she spoke, she gave Mrs. Wen a wink, and then said to Zhulan, the servant girl of the Wen family, who had already taken the betrothal and documents from the two families, "Zhulan, please bring the things over soon."

Zhu Lan glanced hesitantly at her wife, Mrs. Wen. Madam Wen snorted and was about to make a sound when she heard a righteous voice from outside the hall through the door curtain: "Mother, it's canceled. Let's make this marriage contract. Our Wen family is poor, and we can't climb up to the Bai family. From today onwards, that marriage contract will not be counted."

But it was Wen Xiyuan from the front yard who came over after hearing the news. It's just that there were all female dependents in the hall, so he was inconvenient to show his face. After that, he stood outside the door and listened without saying a word. At this time, he couldn't help expressing his attitude.

Mrs. Wen's eyes became sour when she heard her son's words. She was such an excellent son who had encountered such a bad thing. The Bai family didn't know what to do or gave up.

Let's see what Bai Jingshu can find in the future!

Mrs. Wen adjusted her emotions, and nodded slightly at Zhulan, who respectfully handed the token to Mrs. He.

Mrs. Chen sneered when she heard Wen Xiyuan's words, and ignored it. In spite of her mood, she also called her maid to bring the tokens and documents that she had previously ordered. put on the table.

Then Mrs. He called Mrs. Lin, the wife of Wen Xiyuan's mentor, to come forward to review the betrothal and documents of the two families. After checking them, they ordered people to fetch the candlestick and stone hammer. The wife testified that the marriage of the Bai and Wen families was over." He burned the documents and hammered the jade pendant token.

Finally, seeing the maid and maid clean up the scraps of paper dust, Mrs. He smiled and said: "The marriage is no longer nostalgic, since the marriage has been resolved, this matter is all right, sister Bai, cousin, you all depend on me. Thin noodles, let’s not blame the past, just talk with your hands.”

This is just a few scenes. Chen shi happily solved the marriage, and the big stone that had been in his heart for a long time was relieved, and the Wen family did not dare to come to their house again. She said that Jing Shu was wrong outside, so she didn't pursue it anymore, so she smiled and said a few words to Mrs. He, and then took her daughter to leave together.

Others watched a big play and said goodbye to Mrs. Wen's unfortunate face, and they also said goodbye and left.

Mrs. He persuaded her cousin again, but said that her nephew had a good future. This time, she also solved a problem, and finally managed to relieve most of Mrs. Wen's grievances.

Before leaving, Mrs. He glanced at Zhou Lanyue, who was timid and overwhelmed in the hall, and then thought of the girl of the Bai family who was silent and calm when the whole thing happened, and sighed in her heart, asking her to think, Her cousin, she really lost something without knowing it.

Is it really that easy to climb the high gate of Beijing Middle School? It also depends on whether you have this blessing to enjoy.
