She actually thought about breaking off the marriage.
It was Chen Ziling who said that as long as she openly promised to cancel the engagement, she kept delaying it secretly until the wedding day at the end of next month, when the people from Kaiyang Hou Mansion came to pick up the bride, she would get married even if she didn't.
If she really doesn't want to marry, then let her go and make trouble with Kaiyang Houfu.
She thought this was a good plan, so she agreed.
Who would have thought that the accident would happen so quickly? Not long after Chen Ziling came up with the idea, someone came from the Kaiyang Hou Mansion and asked her to come over immediately.
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Ziling," Ms. Qiu avoided her gaze, followed Chen Ziling's instructions, pulled the handkerchief hard, and defended, "I was in a hurry and said the wrong thing."
Chen Anning put away the cold light in his eyes and asked coldly: "Since people have come to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, has mother mentioned to them about canceling the marriage?"
"What I want to say," Mrs. Qiu said, still avoiding her eyes, "but they came over, said a few words and then left. They didn't even answer when I asked if something happened in Kaiyang Hou Mansion, so …”
Chen Anning took a step closer to her: "So, mother didn't have time to say anything?"
Ms. Qiu smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, I didn't have time."
Chen Anning pressed forward again, "When will mother plan to tell you?"
Qiu calmly took half a step back, distanced herself from her, and said vaguely: "I originally planned to say it in two days, but Kaiyang Marquis Mansion called Ziling over in such a hurry, and I didn't know why. Didn't something happen? I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go and say it at this time. So I thought..."
Chen Anning looked at her coldly and did not answer.
Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but moved back half a step, and secretly looked up at her. Seeing that she was still staring at her, she quickly lowered her head and said bitterly: "So I have thought about it for a few days, waiting for the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion. After you get there, come to your door again to propose breaking off the engagement."
Ah.
Chen Anning sneered twice, "Fortunately, I never counted on you!"
Knowing that she was angry, Mrs. Qiu quickly promised: "Really, I can swear to you that after two days..."
"No need." Chen Anning interrupted her coldly, "I have withdrawn from the marriage, so you can put away those little tricks of yours!"
"Retired? When did you retreat?" Mrs. Qiu quickly raised his head, and his voice rose five degrees unconsciously, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us?"
"Discuss?" Chen Anning sneered as if he had heard a big joke, "Discuss what? Discuss how you coaxed me and said you would cancel the engagement, but secretly planned how to delay it until the wedding day, so forceful Do I submit?"
After being told what she was thinking, Mrs. Qiu said rather angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have! Don't forget, I am your mother!"
"Mother?" Chen Anning smiled, her smile full of mockery, "Are you worthy?"
Mrs. Qiu was frightened by the coldness in her eyes, and she didn't come back to her senses until she entered the room.
Out of timid instinct, she turned around and wanted to leave.
But after walking less than three steps, I suddenly remembered what Chen Ziling said before coming up with the idea.
Chen Ziling said:
The fact that the eldest princess didn't let her live in the eldest princess' mansion proved that she didn't value her that much.
And she came back even though she was so dissatisfied with the Chen family, which proved that she had nowhere to go and that she still needed to rely on the Chen family for her livelihood.
As long as you grasp these three points, you can control her.
Qiu didn't take these words to heart at first, but after taking a look around, she saw that Qingzhi Courtyard was originally the courtyard where Chen Ziling lived. It was only after she asked Chen Ziling to move out that Chen Anning was able to move in.
She said she didn't deserve to be a mother.
But if it weren't for her, she would still be living in the servant's room!
Something ungrateful!
Mrs. Qiu turned around courageously, rushed into the house quickly, stopped Chen Anning who had finished drinking tea and was about to go into the back room to rest, and said loudly: "I don't care how you ended the marriage with the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion. Tomorrow morning, go to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion immediately to apologize to me! Whether you succeed in this marriage or not, you will get it!"
Chen Anning looked at her coldly, "Is father's injury healed?"
Qiu's courage instantly receded like a tide, while chills suddenly shot up from the soles of her feet, "You, what do you want to do?"
"I should ask my mother about this," Chen Anning said quietly, "It's so good, how could you be so crazy?"
"I..." Mrs. Qiu stared at her hands warily, and Gu Zuojie said, "Your father's broken limbs have been put back on. The doctor from Huichun Hall was invited to pick them up. Before your father was demoted, , this doctor from Huichun Hall always nods and bows every time he sees your father, he is very attentive and considerate."
"I went to invite him this time, but I didn't expect that he would fall out of favor faster than flipping through a book. Not only did he ask for a carriage to pick him up, but he also asked for three taels of silver."
"Your father's hands and feet were badly injured. Although the three taels of silver are a lot, I can only grit my teeth and give it to him."
"I didn't expect that after he came over and saw your father's hands and feet broken, he asked for another two taels of silver."
"I didn't want to give it, but your grandmother felt sorry for your father, so she paid this amount."
Chen Anning looked at her erratic eyes and asked impatiently: "Whose idea was it to let you hold me back?"
Qiu answered almost without thinking, "It's Ziling."
Chen Anning hummed intentionally: "You should listen to her!"
"I didn't listen to her, it was her..." In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Qiu hurriedly explained everything Chen Ziling said and her ideas.
After hearing this, Chen Anning asked in a nonchalant manner: "How many times has this happened?"
Qiu quickly said: "I promise there won't be a next time."
ensure?
How many times had she promised?
After Chen Anning snorted disdainfully, his eyes fell on her face and then on her body.
She was thinking whether to kill her directly or to poison her so that she could not hear or speak.
As if sensing her murderous intent, Mrs. Qiu took a few steps back in fear and quickly begged for mercy: "I, I will go to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow to propose breaking off the engagement!"
Chuntao reminded with gloating: "Miss Chen Er had already canceled the kiss before she came back."
Qiu immediately said: "Then I will listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you say!"
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows calmly.
She would do whatever she said. If she opened her mouth like this, she would naturally not believe it.
But her capriciousness is nothing more than selfishness.
Since Chen Ziling can take advantage of her selfishness to cause trouble for her.
She can also use her selfishness against them.
Think about this.
Chen Anning temporarily suppressed the thought of making her deaf and mute, and asked casually: "Glory, wealth or an official wife, which one does mother want?"
Of course I want both! Just when Qiu was about to answer, Chen Anning seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said first, "You can only choose one."
