After receiving such an answer, no one refuted him. Obviously this was not the focus of their topic.
Du Zechi stood at the threshold for a moment, neither standing nor sitting.
He didn't know why they mobilized so many troops today, but seeing the posture of the three divisions conducting a joint trial, Du Zechi subconsciously wanted to run away.
However, how could Jiang Nianjiao let him run away? She only said, "Cousin, why don't you come in for dinner?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi had no choice but to stand at the door and slowly move into the hall.
"Cousin, uncle...mother." He called everyone's names one by one.
Jiang Xiang only snorted coldly when he heard this.
Du Zechi immediately made a face to the wall.
This situation is not right, he really wants to escape.
Faced with Du Zechi's reaction, Aunt Du changed her usual attitude and said sternly, "Why are you still standing there? Come in quickly! I have something to ask you."
When Du Zechi heard this, he subconsciously began to recall all the wrong things he had done recently.
Skipping class, he went against the plan with Cui Lingwei.
After not knowing what he had done wrong, Du Zechi had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the trial of his family.
"Mom, what do you want to say?" Du Zechi asked softly.
"What's going on between you and Lingwei?" Aunt Du asked in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Du Zechi tried to pretend to be stupid.
Aunt Du suddenly became angry and said, "My sister-in-law has come to cancel the engagement! What else do you want to ask me about!"
Upon hearing this, Du Zechi was shocked.
I don't know why, although he had already thought that sooner or later the Cui family would come to cancel the engagement.
But when he actually heard that he and Cui Lingwei had broken off their engagement, he had a dazed look on his face.
There seemed to be a subtle crack in his heart. Looking through the crack, he seemed to be a little reluctant to give up.
But when he thought of his final goal, Du Zechi immediately shook his head.
He can't accept ugly girls.
After understanding this, Du Zechi said with an indifferent expression, "If you want to cancel the engagement, just cancel the engagement. Their girl can find someone better. I don't deserve it."
After hearing Du Zechi's nonsense, Aunt Du slammed the table and said, "You are not worthy!"
"But no matter how much you don't like her, you should send her back, right? You made an appointment with her, but left her outside and let her walk back alone as a girl. Do you know how dangerous this is? She almost met her last time She fell in love with a gangster, and if someone hadn't come to her rescue, she would have lost everything that day."
"If something like this really happens, how can you afford her? How can we afford the Cui family?"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Du Zechi was surprised and said, "You said something almost happened to her? When did that happen?"
Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he hadn't given it away just this time. Aunt Du almost fell down out of breath. Still silent, Jiang Nianjiao, who was paying attention to the movement here, helped Aunt Du, so that Aunt Du didn't fall directly.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Nianjiao just whispered to Aunt Du, "Aunt, don't be too angry. I knew I was wrong by the look on my cousin's face."
"You know you're wrong? What's the use of knowing you're wrong? Things have already happened. I asked you to marry Cui Zian's sister because of your consideration. It's better for you not to accomplish anything, but to offend others. "
"It's true that I am a *** now, but that doesn't mean I will be in the future? The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Even if I don't arrive that day, I will retreat sooner or later. I can't protect you for the rest of my life." Prime Minister Jiang came out at this time. One sentence.
There was also obvious regret in Du Zechi's eyes. He couldn't refuse his parents and just wanted Cui Lingwei to retreat.
But he never thought about letting anything happen to Cui Lingwei.
Du Zechi felt a pang of regret in his heart when he thought that Cui Lingwei's innocence had almost been lost due to his own negligence.
No wonder Cui Lingwei didn't talk to him anymore after seeing him today. Thinking about the stupid things he had done, Du Zechi felt sad.
He turned around and wanted to run out, but Jiang Nianjiao quickly called out, "Where are you going?"
Du Zechi didn't answer, Jiang Nianjiao quickly gave way to the door.
The servant outside stopped him.
Seeing him acting like this, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but said, "What? I can't bear to say a few words to you?"
Du Zechi didn't say anything immediately. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "It's not because of this, uncle. I'm sorry for Cui Lingwei. I want to go and apologize to her."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was cheating, although everyone wanted to scold him, there was nothing they could do.
Finally, Jiang Nianjiao said, "If you want to apologize, you are not in a hurry. It is getting dark now. During the curfew, if you are caught by the Jinwu Guards, we will still have to catch you."
"You don't have to fish for it! I did it wrong in the first place. If I get caught, I deserve it." Du Zechi lowered his head and said.
"But if you are caught, how can you apologize to Miss Lingwei? You should accept the punishment. You should also accept the punishment from Lingwei. Not from the Jinwu Guard." Jiang Nianjiao then said again.
Then Jiang Nianjiao said again, "We plan to take you there to apologize, but not today, but tomorrow."
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Du Zechi was willing to sit down.
Tonight was supposed to be a storm, but now seeing that Du Zechi had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, and he didn't do anything wrong, it was hard for everyone to say anything more.
The meal was very silent, no one said anything.
After the meal, it was Jiang Nianjiao who called him out. Compared to Du Mu's anxious state and her father's attitude, it was obvious that Jiang Nianjiao was the most suitable person to open up to him.
"Cousin, would you like to take a walk in the garden with me?" Jiang Nianjiao called.
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's call, Du Zechi only said hello.
When the two came to the garden later, there were still only a few plum blossoms in the garden, and some early spring buds.
In addition, it was night time, and there was nothing to see in the garden. Fortunately, the two of them did not intend to see any of this.
Jiang Nianjiao asked in a low voice, "Zechi, I don't want to say anything to you? I just want to tell you that tomorrow we not only have to apologize, but we also have to break off the engagement with the Cui family."
Hearing this, Du Zechi was just surprised.
And logically speaking, breaking off the engagement should be something he had always expected, but for some reason, he didn't feel happy when it was really successful. He just felt empty in his heart.
Seeing his lost expression, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but whisper again, "Zechi, what are you thinking?"
Du Zechi wanted to pretend to be indifferent and said, "What else can you think about? Cousin, you don't know that I like beauties. I can't accept someone like Cui Lingwei, who is dark and thin."
"Since you can't accept it, you had to say it from the beginning." Jiang Nianjiao said dissatisfied.
Du Zechi sighed and said, "Cousin, you think I don't want to say it, but I can also see that my uncle and my mother both want me to be with Cui Lingwei, and I'm living in my uncle's house. Everything now is... My uncle gave it to me, so who am I to speak?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao just sighed in a low voice.
"Then what do you think now?"
Hearing this, Du Zechi was obviously a little confused, "I don't know, but I must apologize. After all, I was the one who felt sorry for her."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao sighed and said, "As long as you know, there is one more thing I have to tell you. Madam Cui came here today, not only to break off the engagement, but also to say goodbye."
"Farewell? Why are you saying goodbye?" Du Zechi was obviously confused.
"What happened to Lingwei? In the final analysis, it was Cui Zian who was in trouble. Someone was deliberately targeting him, so they targeted the people around him." Jiang Nianjiao said in a low voice.
"Why did they attack her! How dare they!" Du Zechi said angrily.
Then he looked at his cousin and said, "Cousin, why don't you help them?"
Jiang Nianjiao whispered, "I do want to help, in what name?"@
"Just say I'm sorry for Lingwei." Du Zechi then said loudly.
Jiang Nianjiao looked at Du Zechi calmly. For some reason, she felt a little sad for a moment.
"You definitely have to resolve your matters yourself. We can't take too much action in Cui Zian's matter. After all, we can't offend those people."
Although Du Zechi didn't know what was bad,
It was a crime, but the meaning of Jiang Nianjiao's words was obvious. He said sadly, "Can't we just let them stay?"
"They went to Huatai Mountain City. I have an idea. If you really feel sorry for it and apologize tomorrow, I will let you apologize to Cui Lingwei on the grounds that you are sorry for Cui Lingwei. In addition, I will also Let some guards escort the two sisters back." Jiang Nianjiao then whispered again.
"Are you willing to send them back then?" Jiang Nianjiao then asked in a low voice.
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words. Du Zechi's expression lit up, "Of course I do."
"That's fine if you want to, but this time you must protect the two sisters-in-law and go back safely. If something goes wrong again, you will be blamed even if you die!"
"Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely escort them home safely this time." Du Zechi immediately took the initiative to express.
After hearing what Du Zechi said, Jiang Nianjiao didn't say anything more. She just nodded lightly. Then she patted Du Zechi on the shoulder and said, "You should go to rest early today and get up early tomorrow." .”
Du Zechi only nodded after hearing this.
After he turned around and left, Jiang Nianjiao was ready to go back to her original yard. To be honest, she hadn't lived back at her parents' house for a long time.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door of the small courtyard, there were lights on in the courtyard. And there were people talking in the room.
When she was puzzled, she saw Zhao Yanzhen walking out of the room.
She was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
However, Zhao Yanzhen directly pulled Jiang Nianjiao into his arms in front of everyone.
Although Jiang Nianjiao was a little shy, she also knew that he would not let her go.
Zhao Yanzhen just smiled and said, "Of course I can't worry about you."
"Didn't I tell Cui Qiao to go back to the house and tell the housekeeper? I'm not going back at my father's house tonight. What? Didn't they tell you?"
