As soon as Grandma Hua said these words, the first person to change her face was Mrs. Su.
But before Mrs. Su could react, Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin were brought up.
Due to their haste, the two could only barely put on their clothes.
Shen Zhao has a handsome appearance and is the eldest grandson of the Shen family. He usually looks like a handsome and noble young master outside.
At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, his green moiré muslin shirt hanging loosely on his body, his hair disheveled, and his face full of fear and anxiety. He still had the demeanor of the legitimate son of the Shen family in the past.
Looking at Cheng Rujin next to him, he was calmer than Shen Zhao, and he didn't forget to raise his hand to smooth away his messy hair.
Su Qingyu sneered, Cheng Rujin wouldn't think that if she was discovered, she could marry into the Shen family, right?
Cheng Rujin really thought so, and felt that it would not be a bad thing if things like this were resolved. Anyway, the Shen family had to give an explanation to the Su family. At worst, she would marry in Su Qingyu's place. Even if she can't be a wife, it's still good to be a concubine first.
The concubines of the Shen family are richer and more honorable than the wives of ordinary families. When the time comes, she will give birth to a son and a half, and it will not be impossible for her to straighten herself up.
Thinking of this, Cheng Rujin felt a lot more relaxed and saw that the room was silent and no one spoke.
She then crawled forward two steps, knelt on the ground, and said with a tearful voice: "Old Madam, the eldest young master and I truly love each other. Please let me do it."
"I don't ask for status, as long as I can stay with the young master."
Mrs. Shen frowned and said nothing, while Mrs. Su closed her eyes slightly, obviously extremely angry.
Su Qingyu stood up and walked to Cheng Rujin.
Snapped.
A slap hit Cheng Rujin directly on the face.
Immediately afterwards, Su Qingyu said with a sad face: "You and Master Shen are in love, you can ask the parents of both parties to come forward and talk about it. What day is today? You can't do this."
"Mr. Shen's funeral has shocked the government and the public. The front yard is full of officials paying homage. Do you know that if this incident spreads to the front, the Shen family will be disgraced and it will also affect Young Master Shen's career."
"If you really love him, you should think about him. How could you let him do such an unfilial and unjust thing?"
After saying these words, Su Qingyu also knelt on the ground and said to Mrs. Shen: "I taught my cousin and made the old lady laugh. Since they are in love, please ask the old lady to retire me and Mrs. Shen." The young master’s marriage.”
Mrs. Shen looked at Su Qingyu with admiration. This girl was not very old, but she spoke and acted very appropriately.
This slap combined with these transparent words does not make people feel arrogant, but also does not lose the bearing of a legitimate daughter. This is how the head of the Shen family, grandma, should be.
As for the one kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Shen didn't even look at him.
She motioned to Aunt Hua to help Su Qingyu up, and said softly: "You get up first, we have to discuss this matter with your grandmother."
Mrs. Su also came to her senses at this time and was very satisfied with Su Qingyu's reaction.
She looked at Cheng Rujin coldly and said nothing, the disgust in her eyes was obvious.
Su Qingyu was already standing beside Mrs. Su, waiting to see what the Shen family would say.
She must call off the marriage. Not only must she call it off, but she must call it quits on this pair of bad guys.
Mrs. Shen thought for a moment and said to Mrs. Su: "This matter is our Shen family's fault. Can my brothers and sisters give the Shen family another chance? I really like this girl. As long as the marriage is not cancelled, you can do whatever you want. carry."
Su Qingyu was stunned. What did Mrs. Shen mean? Refuse to break off the engagement?
She wanted to speak, but Mrs. Su had already spoken first, "Sister-in-law, both families are at fault in this matter, and I failed to discipline my granddaughter. Now that such a scandal has happened, I am really ashamed."
"Rujin and the eldest young master have skin contact again. This matter..."
Even though Mrs. Su knew that Cheng Rujin could not marry into the Shen family, she still did not give up and wanted to test the Shen family again. After all, Cheng Rujin had no other choice but to marry into the Shen family.
If there are two cousins, one as the wife and one as the concubine, this should be a solution.
Mrs. Shen smiled lightly at first and said nothing after thinking for a moment.
"This is what I think. The Shen family can't let this girl Qingyu suffer in vain. The betrothal gift will be doubled from the original list. In addition, if there is a shortage in the capital at the end of the year, let your second son go to the capital to make some moves."
"After these two little ones get married, the stewardship of the inner house will be handed over to Qingyu. Regardless of whether there are any children in the future, Shen Zhao will not take any concubines within five years. If there is no movement after five years, then he will raise another concubine. , the birth of a child will be recorded in Qingyu’s name.”
"This cousin of the Su family... we are willing to rent a courtyard in Huguo Temple for her to clean up."
There was another moment of silence, Cheng Rujin turned pale with fright, and everyone in the Shen family was waiting for Mrs. Su's reply.
For Mrs. Su, the conditions proposed by the Shen family are indeed tempting, especially the transfer of the second master of the Su family back to the capital, which is like pinching Mrs. Su's every inch.
No matter how important the affairs of the woman at home are, they are not as important as the career of the men at home.
Seeing her grandmother's expression changed, Su Qingyu felt a little panicked, and she forced herself to calm down.
After a while, he said: "Old madam, Master Shen said that he married me just because he can use my uncle. How dare I marry him if he has such thoughts."
"And I believe what the eldest young master said. The person he loves is my cousin. Under this situation, I really can't pretend that this didn't happen and marry into the Shen family again."
"If word spreads, they will think that I am greedy for the wealth of the Shen family."
"Please take pity on me, Madam, and allow me to cancel this marriage."
Logically speaking, there was no reason for her to speak out about this matter. But if she didn't speak, she was afraid that her grandmother would make a decision.
Su Qingyu said this bravely, just to see what Mrs. Shen said.
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she glared at Cheng Rujin angrily and said, "She was the one who confused Zhao'er. Zhao'er usually obeys the rules. How could he suddenly do such a thing?"
"And Qingyu, don't believe it if you talk about taking advantage of people. It's because your cousin is jealous of your good marriage and is deliberately trying to cause trouble for you. If you break off the engagement now, aren't you following other people's rules?"
Cheng Rujin was humiliated by Mrs. Chen in public, and her body swayed unconsciously.
After Mrs. Chen said these words, she lightly kicked Shen Zhao again, "If you still haven't explained a few words, if Qingyu doesn't calm down today, I will beat you to death."
Su Qingyu admired Mrs. Chen very much for having worked so hard for this marriage.
Shen Zhao looked at Mrs. Chen's warning eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandma, father, mother, sister Rujin and I are in love, and I want to marry her."
He looked at Su Qingyu again, "Now that you know everything, I won't hide it anymore. A woman with a heart like yours is not worthy of being my wife, Shen Zhao."
"Don't think I don't know how Sister Rujin has been bullied and hurt by you all these years."
"She is simple and kind, and never cares about you, but you have gone the extra mile. Today is the best time to cancel the marriage."
Before today, his mother had been asking him to coax Su Qingyu to get Re Xiaozhong married so that he could get help from the Pingning Marquis Mansion and the Lin family.
Although Shen Zhao did as he was told, he felt sorry for Cheng Rujin. Now that the scandal was exposed, he felt relaxed.
Shen Zhao's words stunned everyone present. Shen Zhiheng stood up and kicked Shen Zhao, scolding: "You evil son, lard has deceived your heart, what nonsense are you talking about."
To say that the happiest people at this time are Su Qingyu and Cheng Rujin.
Su Qingyu thought to herself that the more intense Shen Zhao's quarrel was, the better, and she just took advantage of the situation to break off the engagement.
Cheng Rujin's face was full of hope, as if she had already stepped into the Shen family's door.
