Chapter Twenty-Seven: Retiring
When she learned that it was indeed Gu Jiaojiao who went to find the trouble first, Mrs. Gu sighed, knowing that this was the case.
After giving Gu Jiaojiao a lesson, Mrs. Gu asked her to continue.
Next came the conflict between Gu Jiaojiao and Xin Nianyan. She originally wanted to teach Xin Nianyan a lesson, but in the end she was taught a lesson by Xin Nianyan instead.
The more Gu Jiaojiao talked, the angrier she became. She felt like lifting up her sleeves to show Mrs. Gu, but found that there were no traces on her body.
"What's going on?" Gu Jiaojiao couldn't believe it. She looked at the other symptoms, but there were no traces. At most, they were just a little red.
"Mom, my daughter was really beaten by Xin Nianyan, and now she feels pain everywhere on her body." Gu Jiaojiao said quickly.
Mrs. Gu naturally believed her when she saw her like this.
She knew what her daughter was like. Although she was a little domineering, at least she would not lie. Moreover, she did touch Gu Jiaojiao several times, and Gu Jiaojiao screamed in pain.
She was a little angry when she thought that Xin Nianyan beat her daughter like that.
But before she could say anything, a servant came to report: "Madam, someone has come from the Yongning Hou Mansion."
Mrs. Gu was stunned and stood up.
"Why did someone come to Yongninghou Mansion at this time?" Gu Jiaojiao asked in confusion.
Mrs. Gu shook her head: "I don't know. You rest first and I'll go take a look."
"I'll go too." Gu Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy, and regardless of the pain in her body, she stood up and was about to follow.
When Mrs. Gu saw this, she followed her.
The two came to the front hall and saw the housekeeper of Yongninghou Mansion.
"I don't know if Butler Zhang is here, but what's the matter?" Mrs. Gu stepped forward and asked with the elegance of the head lady.
Butler Zhang bowed politely and then said: "Mrs. Gu, I came to break off the engagement with Miss Gu on the advice of my young master."
After saying this, Mrs. Gu and Gu Jiaojiao were shocked.
"What, cancel the engagement?" Gu Jiaojiao was in disbelief.
The Marquis of Yongning wants to break off the engagement with her!
"Why!"
Gu Jiaojiao asked in a sharp voice. Mrs. Gu also had a bad look on her face. After calming down for a moment, she asked: "Steward Zhang, is there any misunderstanding? Why is Master Wu suddenly breaking off the engagement?"
Butler Zhang said calmly: "There is no misunderstanding. My young master said that he will not marry an arrogant, domineering, bullying woman."
The Gu family's mother and daughter were stunned and looked at each other.
So, is it because of the matter at the Duke's Mansion?
"Steward Zhang, there must be some misunderstanding. Master Wu must have heard some slander. Go back and tell him that Jiaojiao is just straightforward and not bullying."
"Mrs. Gu is still embarrassing the old slave. The young master has issued a death order, so that the old slave must cancel the marriage." Butler Zhang said as he took out the engagement letter and the engagement tokens exchanged.
Mrs. Gu's face became increasingly ugly.
This is what people are talking about, but if they talk about it again, they are just stalking and fighting.
The daughter of Prince Pingnan's palace couldn't do anything like stalking a man.
But after all, it doesn't sound good to say that the engagement was cancelled.
"In this case, then I don't have anything to say anymore."
Mrs. Gu took a deep breath and asked her servants to get the engagement letter and tokens.
In this way, the marriage between the two families was called off inexplicably.
Gu Jiaojiao didn't even react. After Butler Zhang left, she burst into tears.
"Wow~ Mom, brother Xingchen, why did he break off the engagement with me? Woohoo..."
Without waiting for Mrs. Gu to speak, she said viciously: "It's Xin Nianyan, it's Xin Nianyan, right? It must be her, it's all her fault. If it weren't for her, how could Brother Xingchen break off the engagement with me? Wuwuwuxin
Nianyan, this bitch, she doesn’t deserve a good death, I’m going to kill her, I’m going to kill her!!”
Gu Jiaojiao said that she was about to rush out, but Mrs. Gu hurriedly stopped her.
"Jiaojiao, calm down, we can wait until your father comes back to discuss this matter!"
How could Gu Jiaojiao be calm? She had liked Wu Xingchen since she was a child and finally got engaged to him.
Now that she was divorced because of Xin Nianyan, she could not wait to kill Xin Nianyan now to satisfy her hatred.
But fortunately, Mrs. Gu was still calm and kept pulling her to comfort her. Gu Jiaojiao cried like this all afternoon. The more she cried, the angrier she became. She kept asking Mrs. Gu to think of a way. She wanted to kill Xin Nianyan, so she shouldn't follow her.
Lord Wu Xiaohou broke off the engagement...
**
As Xin Nianyan thought, Qin Yan would not break off the engagement so easily.
Early the next morning, Qin Yan came to find her and tried to coax her into changing her mind.
He felt that Xin Nianyan still liked him. The reason why he was like that yesterday was just because he was angry and wanted him to coax him...
Qin Yan believed that there was no small thing about women that he didn't know.
It's just that there were so many people around yesterday, and it was hard for him to coax him, so today he came here specifically to make Xin Nianyan happy while no one was around, so that he would naturally not break off the engagement.
But what he didn't expect was that Xin Nianyan would disappear behind closed doors.
On the contrary, when Xin Rouer heard that Qin Yan was coming, she thought he was here to cancel the engagement, but she didn't expect that he went directly to Yanyun Court. She suddenly became angry and angry, and swept all the teacups off the table with her hand.
On the ground.
"Bitch, what kind of ecstasy did she use to coax His Highness into doing that?"
The personal maid hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Miss, please calm down, maybe His Highness the Crown Prince is going to tell her about breaking off the engagement."
"You have to tell her about breaking off the engagement," Xin Rouer said.
You should tell your parents about breaking off the engagement. Now that Xin Yuanwen is not at home, you should tell Zhang Yunhui, the mother, where is Xin Nianyan's turn.
She originally wanted to ask Zhang Yunhui to mention her relationship with Qin Yan after Qin Yan called off her marriage to Xin Nianyan.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan went directly to Yanyunyuan. He didn't want to give up!
"No, I can't just watch the prince go find her. What if she coaxes the prince into not wanting to break off the engagement again."
Xin Rou'er thought so and stood up to stop Qin Yan. The maid couldn't stop her even if she wanted to, so she had to ask someone to notify the madam.
When Xin Rouer came to Yanyun Courtyard, she saw Qin Yan standing outside Yanyun Courtyard and Xiao Zhu was talking to him.
"His Royal Highness, our lady has said that if you come to deliver the marriage certificate and cancel the engagement, then wait until the master comes back and tell me. If you come to see the lady to talk about something, she is not feeling well and does not want to see you."
Qin Yan looked ugly and frowned, but he still said patiently: "Go and tell Yan'er that what happened yesterday was Gu's fault. Gu Lai is here to apologize to her. This is the peach blossom cake Gu bought. Yan'er likes to eat it the most.
Already."
