Chapter 8 Breaking off the Engagement

at night.

Mrs. Xu stayed up all night, standing at the gate and looking at the Xu Mansion a few streets away.

The fire was soaring into the sky over there, and the wailing could be faintly heard.

"Madam, it's okay." Dengzhi held his wife's hand and found that her hands were cold and her whole body was trembling.

Xu's lips turned purple, her body shook slightly, and it took a while to squeeze out a few words from her throat.

"Just a little bit...just a little bit..." Just a little bit, the Xu family is doomed.

Fortunately, she heard Chao Chao's thoughts.

Her Chao Chao is the treasure given to her by God.

It wasn't until the sky got brighter that Xu moved stiffly.

Dengzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Is the Marquis back?" Mrs. Xu looked pale and a little exhausted.

Dengzhi shook his head: "Master Hou stayed away all night."

Mrs. Xu held Dengzhi's hand, closed her eyes, and suppressed the fear and suspicion in her eyes.

She didn't dare to think about whether the Marquis was responsible for this matter.

"Madam, I found out."

"Last night, the imperial army turned the Xu family upside down and dug up blood letters under the crooked neck tree outside the madam's boudoir. At this moment, Mr. Xu was already kneeling outside the imperial study room to listen to the trial." Yingxue walked in a hurry, As soon as the curfew was over, I rushed over to inquire about the news.

Yingxue and Juexia, the two maids, were a little worried.

But seeing that Madam's face seemed to be a little more relaxed, she raised her eyes again, and Madam was still frowning. She probably saw it wrong.

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips tightly and said no more.

She was on pins and needles all day long. After marrying Lu Yuanze, she gradually lost her backbone and became dependent on him.

Bearing children for him, washing hands and making soup for him, she has long lost the edge of the talented girl in Kyoto back then.

Even the family members who loved her the most had abandoned her.

There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of Xu's mouth.

She sent someone to invite Lu Yuanze, but Lu Yuanze never returned home.

She actually wanted to give Lu Yuanze a chance, a chance to confess. But Lu Yuanze never even came back.

He sat there until evening.

The concierge came in a hurry to report.

"Madam, someone from the Jiang family is here." Ms. Xu stood up suddenly.

The Jiang family is the family who is engaged to their eldest son, Lu Yanshu.

If someone comes to the Jiang family at this time, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

The Jiang family and the Lu family were both founding fathers of the country. The Jiang family was a literary scholar, and their descendants were successful. This generation sat in the position of the third-rank minister of Dali Temple.

As for the Lu family, who was a martial artist, Lu Yuanze was born weak in literature, so he had no choice but to follow the path of literature, and he has been neither improving nor declining over the years.

Fortunately, I was able to make progress by marrying Xu.

But compared to the Jiang family, it is still a little worse.

"Back then Mr. Yanshu was quite talented and famous, but they themselves came to the house and made an appointment for their baby." Dengzhi changed Mrs. Xu's clothes and saw that Mrs. Xu was more energetic before helping her out.

Mrs. Xu paused: "Hold Chaochao."

The little chao chao has been forty days old, and now it has grown as if it was blowing air, and is round and plump. Its little face makes everyone smile, and she feels happy just looking at it.

When Mrs. Xu went to the front hall, Mrs. Jiang had been sitting with a sullen face for a long time.

There was also a tray on the table, covered with a red cloth.

Xu paused slightly.

"Sister Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your sister Man Yuejiu has never been here. I really feel guilty." Mrs. Jiang sighed, with a shrewd look on her face.

She was really optimistic about Lu Yanshu back then, but who knew that he would become a cripple, unable to take care of himself, and would go crazy.

After dragging it on for so many years, now that the Xu family was also in jail, she no longer had any worries.

"Our two families are as close as one family. How can I blame the Jiang family." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang's expression paused slightly.

She frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister Xu, we Ming people don't talk secretly. I'm afraid the marriage in Yanshu will be abandoned."

Xu's face fell.

"Yanshu is living like a ghost now. He is not worthy of my Yun Jin. Yun Jin is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, how can she marry a cripple! This marriage should have been canceled long ago." Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Xu At a glance, the Xu family today is no better than before.

The Xu family was in jail, and Lu Yanshu was disabled, so he had no qualms about withdrawing from the family.

"You!" Mrs. Xu was so angry that her chest hurt.

"Isn't it because the inkstone fell into the water because of Yun Jin?" Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth.

Her extremely intelligent inkstone turned into that for Jiang Yunjin!

Jiang Yunjin fell into the water, Yan Shu jumped into the water to save others, and Jiang Yunjin was saved.

But her inkstone had been submerged in the water for a long time, and it could no longer be saved.

Every time Mrs. Xu thought about this, her heart ached, and she spent countless nights filled with hatred.

Mrs. Jiang looked a little ugly: "My Yun Jin is your legitimate daughter, how can you marry a disabled person? Besides, Yun Jin didn't let him save him, he jumped by himself! This marriage should have been withdrawn a long time ago, and my son will have a bad reputation!" That cripple in your family should not harm the girl from a good family. Do you want to lose your conscience?"

"He went crazy and ignored the consequences. He should be imprisoned for the rest of his life. What kind of wife would he marry?"

"My son is ashamed of being engaged to him. It was all a disgraceful past!"

"If you don't want to retreat from this marriage, you have to retreat."

"Canceling the engagement, I don't agree!" Mrs. Xu's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. Yanshu became disabled because of her, but the Jiang family wanted to leave Yanshu behind!

Her inkstones will be ruined for the rest of her life.

Xiao Chaochao stretched out his chubby hands from his swaddling clothes [Back off, back off, beautiful mother, back off quickly...]

【She really hurt my big brother...】

[After she married her eldest brother, she beat him secretly, made him bark like a dog, drilled his crotch, and drank urine. She also took people home and let her eldest brother watch her sleeping with others. Big brother is pissed to death...]

Mrs. Xu's hand holding the tea trembled, her breathing became heavy, and the tea spilled a bit.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh.

A trace of blood spilled from the fingertips.

How much has her child suffered?
