Chapter 1076: Call off the marriage
Hearing this, Old Master Zhou took a deep breath, his old eyes dimming and brightening.
Because he was kicked out of the Lin family many times before, he had been vomiting a bad breath in his chest. This time, because he was engaged to the county magistrate's house, the bad breath finally came out. He was about to go to Ya Village and show off in front of Lin Laogan. Ichiban.
Who would have known that this good granddaughter-in-law he thought would actually be such a person? His face was really slapped.
"Go, go quickly!" He waved towards his son.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Master Zhou nodded and hurried out to give orders.
…
A few hours later, in the hall of the Zhou family.
Old Master Zhou was still sitting in his original position. Several people were looking at the dishes on the table, but no one had the appetite to pick up a chopstick.
And Zhou Liang was also sitting in the hall now, looking at this and that.
Because he didn't hear what he said before, he didn't know what happened. He only knew that the atmosphere in the hall was so depressing that he wanted to find a way to escape.
Unfortunately, he did not dare to escape and could not escape.
He has been grounded for many days. He can't go anywhere except Zhou's house. He can't even climb over the wall because the ladders have been put away and he can't get them no matter what.
Finally, the servant who was sent to inquire about the affairs of the county governor finally returned.
"Old Master, Master, the young one is back." He panted and came to the hall. Before he could see clearly who was in the hall, Master Zhou grabbed him by the collar.
"Say it, say it quickly!"
"That...Miss Ninth's aunt is really still alive." The servant said quickly.
"What?!"
Everyone screamed in shock when they heard this.
If he is really alive, doesn't that mean that everyone in the Zhou family has been fooled?
Did the county governor think that the Zhou family was easy to bully? He actually took a defiled woman and wanted to marry into the Zhou family and become the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Zhou family?
"Dad, what should we do? Please think of a solution quickly." Mrs. Zhou was completely helpless at this moment, looking at Old Master Zhou for help.
"Cancel the engagement, this marriage must be cancelled!"
Mr. Zhou also said angrily, how could a scholarly family like theirs allow such a woman to marry into the family?
"Yes, Dad, let's go and cancel the marriage. This marriage must be cancelled, otherwise our Liang'er's life will be over. What hope will there be?" Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up when she heard her husband's words.
She had never thought that with her son's virtue, there would be little hope for him.
"Cancel the engagement?"
Old Master Zhou looked at the two people with cold eyes and took a deep breath.
He wanted to break off the engagement, but how to break off this marriage? Can he just break off the marriage?
That's the Sheriff's Mansion. Can an ordinary family like them afford to offend it? It would be fine if the governor was easy to talk to, but if...
He could almost imagine that if the Zhou family came to cancel their marriage, the county governor would definitely not look good on them. Not to mention that it was impossible to cancel these marriages safely, it was very likely that even their future life would be ruined. Sad.
However, this marriage...
We really had to retreat. The Zhou family had always been innocent, how could they allow such a woman to be married into the family?
