Mrs. Ji Er also had her own selfish motives. After her daughter-in-law entered the family, she had an in-law like Pingbei Houfu and became a brother-in-law with Dong Gong. It would definitely be extremely useful for her to join the imperial examination.

This help is right in front of you, you can reach it if you stretch out your hand, so why not stretch out your hand?

Mrs. Ji Er sent her greeting very formally and chose a good day to express her intention to visit.

Mrs. Su read the content in the greeting card and knew Mrs. Ji Er's intention, so she went to ask her mother-in-law for instructions.

"Oh, that dead girl who causes trouble all day long and finally brings down the whole family!"

Mrs. Xie had a headache as soon as she heard about this.

No one knows where Xie Yunqian has gone, and even if she is found, no one knows what she has gone through outside. With her own blood, no matter what she encounters outside, her family will treat her well when she comes back, and will treat her well in the future. Find a suitable marriage, but if you want to remarry into an official family, it is absolutely impossible.

Not even a new scholar from a poor family.

Who knows whether he will become a first- or second-rank official or an important minister of the imperial court in the future? At that time, people felt uncomfortable and started to settle old scores. It was either a marriage or an enmity.

Xie Yunqian went out for such a trip, and even if she came back, she would at most marry into a wealthy merchant family, and she would have to stay far away from the capital.

This is something that Mrs. Xie, Mr. Xie, Xie Yunshu and Mr. Su all agree on.

Therefore, this marriage with the Ji family must be abandoned.

Now Mrs. Ji Er came to the house for this marriage. With her temperament, she probably wanted the marriage to be brought forward. If the Hou Mansion said that it wanted to cancel the engagement, how could it be tolerated?

If you don't give her a justifiable reason, she will never agree!

The Hou Mansion cannot afford to cause trouble with people like that.

The Hou Mansion was at fault when the commotion broke out.

The old lady and Mrs. Su were more worried that they must not implicate the Crown Princess.

Neither of them were in a good mood.

After being silent for a while, the old lady Xie said: "This marriage must be canceled. This matter is our family's fault. We shouldn't keep delaying it. If we cancel the marriage, we can find another suitable one. Just this time, I think. The method has been explained clearly to Mrs. Ji Er."

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that I can't explain it clearly! That Mrs. Ji Er doesn't know what's going on here, she's just afraid that our Marquis Mansion looks down on her son and wants to regret the marriage, so I'm afraid she won't agree easily. If so, She got angry and went out to talk nonsense. The reputation of the Marquis Mansion is not good. If someone with intentions touches Shu'er, even Shu'er will get into trouble."

Isn’t that what I’m afraid of!

Old lady Xie also frowned.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became worried again.

Old Mrs. Xie couldn't help but cursed Xie Yunqian again through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for her, could she have done this?

When Mr. Xie returned to his residence, the old lady called him to discuss the matter together.

Mr. Xie is much more understanding than them. Isn't Mrs. Ji Er's most important thing the future of her son? The Xie family just agreed to help. And what about the Crown Princess? If she wasn't afraid of offending the Crown Princess, she would just go out and cause trouble!

When he said this, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Su both subconsciously felt a little relieved.     Yes, there is also the Crown Princess. Mrs. Ji Er must have some scruples.

The old lady took Mrs. Qi over and beat her up again, and warned her not to spill the beans in front of Mrs. Ji Er, otherwise she would look good!

Mrs. Qi's heart was full of hatred, which was aggrieved!

But she really didn't dare to make trouble.

The Xie family was the one causing the embarrassment, and her reputation as Qian'er would be completely ruined, so what good would she gain?

Mrs. Ji Er specially dressed up, prepared generous gifts, and drove to the Pingbei Hou Mansion. She had typed the draft countless times. She was very confident that she could persuade the Hou Mansion to advance the wedding date.

She never expected that the Hou Mansion would terminate the engagement.

Su Shi laid the groundwork for a long time before she finally bravely revealed her intention.

Although she said it very tactfully, saying that the second young lady was seriously ill, and the doctor said that the disease was not easy to cure, and that she needed to take good care of herself for a few years, so as not to delay the young master of the Ji family, so the marriage was canceled, and both parties Peaceful dissolution of engagement.

Mrs. Ji Er's face turned green.

"What, what are you talking about? How can the arranged marriage be changed on the spur of the moment! My son is not afraid of delay, we can afford to wait!"

Mrs. Ji Er was furious. She didn't believe that her son could wait. Could it be that the second daughter of the Xie family could also wait? The Xie family wants to use this ridiculous reason to avoid breaking off the engagement, but that is just a dream!

What about being unwell or about resting? Who would believe this if you tell me such reasons? It's clear that this is making people look like fools.

Now that the Xie family has climbed up to the East Palace, they look down on her son. It is absolutely impossible to regret the marriage!

Su Shi smiled bitterly, but this marriage must be canceled.

Unable to persuade her, she had no choice but to agree to take Mrs. Ji Er to see the old lady. After thinking about it, she simply invited Mrs. Qi as well.

Ms. Qi didn't like the Ji family's marriage at all, so she wanted to quit. Her Qian'er deserved better, so she was very cooperative.

Mrs. Xie is an elder. Even if her family is in trouble and she keeps her airs and remains calm, Mrs. Ji Er has to suppress her temper in front of her.

Even if you are aggrieved, you should hug her respectfully.

"Old lady, how can there be such a logic? This marriage is not a child's play, how can we just back off? Don't you think the Xie family looks down on our Ji family?"

"There is no such thing. If it were true, I would not have done this marriage in the first place. If I had done it in the first place, there would be no reason to look down upon it! It's just that things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Qian'er would get sick?"

Mrs. Ji Er immediately said: "How can a child be so ill at home? It will be fine if she is raised. I will go to the village to see her in two days!"

"This is not appropriate," Mrs. Xie refused without giving her any chance: "In short, this matter is true. The doctor has something to explain. She is not allowed to see outsiders, but she is only asked to raise her with peace of mind. I will explain to you later. This marriage matter But my son must be relieved."

"Old lady, you are being unreasonable!"

Su Shi quickly smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Mrs. Ji Er. This matter is our family's fault. Naturally, we can't let you suffer. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. We can also discuss it."

"good."

Old Mrs. Xie picked up the tea cup and drank tea leisurely, with a sullen face and calm eyes. Mrs. Ji Er did not dare to make any mistakes in front of her.

Seeing that the old lady was determined to break off the engagement, Mrs. Ji Er also knew that no matter how hard she persisted, it would be useless. Pingbei Hou Mansion could not cause trouble if she wanted to.

If a prince or a princess gets really angry, he cannot bear the consequences. In this case, why not exchange some benefits?

But the strange thing is that Mrs. Ji Er asked the Crown Princess to promise her personally and asked the Crown Princess to give her a personal guarantee.

No matter what Su said, she refused.
