In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Ling Mao glanced at his eldest granddaughter and said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to get married, you insist on breaking off the engagement. I hope you won't regret it in the future. You should know that without this marriage, you can only marry the same people as us in the future. Ordinary family.”

Even though he said this, Ling Mao would not really let his eldest granddaughter marry into an ordinary family.

What he said was just to knock her down.

In order to avoid being dissatisfied with the future marriage, there will be a fuss about breaking off the engagement.

Not only would Ling Mao not marry Ling Chu to an ordinary family, he would not allow his other granddaughters to marry those ordinary people either.

Even if it's not for himself, he still has to plan for other descendants.

He couldn't let Ling Mansion fall like this.

"Zong'er, you and Mr. Dong go to hire a matchmaker and go to Duke Zhao's mansion to cancel the marriage."

"Yes, Dad."

As the head of the family, the father-in-law had already spoken, and no matter how unwilling Mrs. Dong was, she could only nod.

"Father, mother, I'll go with you."

The madam came over with a dissatisfied look and said, "Nonsense, you are a girl's family, this is not something you should get involved in. Just leave it to your parents to break off the engagement. If nothing happens, you can stay in the house and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." And follow the rules and etiquette, so as not to be said by outsiders that I, the girl from Ling Mansion, have no rules."

Seeing that Mrs. Tai did not agree, Ling Chu did not insist.

Originally, she wanted to go along and see the marriage canceled with her own eyes.

But since she is not allowed to go, then forget it.

Ling Chu didn't want to cause more trouble. As long as she could cancel the marriage, it didn't matter whether she went or not. Anyway, she didn't want to see the disgusting Zhao Jingming again.

After finishing the meal, Ling Chu went back to his yard to rest.

Ling Mao took his eldest son to the study to talk, while Dong went back to his yard to find the token given by Mrs. Zhao Guogong.

When Ling Zong returned to his courtyard from the study and was about to go to Zhao Guogong's mansion to break off the engagement with Dong, he found that Dong was missing.

I had no choice but to call the maid serving in the courtyard over, "Where is Madam, do you know where she is?"

"Back to the master, my wife said that things are busy in the mansion, so she can go to Duke Zhao's mansion alone."

Ling Zong frowned, the so-called marriage contract was the words of the matchmaker ordered by his parents.According to etiquette, whether it is an engagement or annulment, the parents of both parties and the matchmaker should be present.

At first, his wife made an engagement to her eldest daughter without telling him, and now she left him alone to break off the engagement.

Ling Zong was a little dissatisfied.

But even though he was angry, he also knew that it was useless to get angry now.

Ling Zong got up from the armchair and was about to leave the house to go to Duke Zhao's house when the servant came in a hurry to report that there were some problems with the construction of the ancestral hall.

The construction of this ancestral hall was at a critical moment, and Ling Zong did not dare to ignore it.

He hurriedly followed the young man to the ancestral hall.

When he finally finished handling the affairs at the ancestral hall and wanted to rush to Zhao Guogong's mansion, he didn't expect to see Mrs. Dong just getting off the carriage when he left the mansion.

"Why didn't you wait for me and went to Zhao Guogong's mansion alone?"

Mrs. Dong glanced at him and said quietly as she walked towards the house, "I see you are busy. Breaking off the engagement is not a good thing. I can handle it alone.

There are a lot of things in the house, and the ancestral hall is being built at a critical moment. If you leave, there will be something that needs you to deal with. "

His father is old, and as the eldest son, Ling Zong also knows that the construction of the ancestral hall cannot be done without him.

No matter how busy you are, your eldest daughter should not be ignored.

But now that my wife is back, there is no point in worrying about this matter anymore.

Although he didn't go, it was still a matter of his eldest daughter. Ling Zong still asked with concern, "Is the matter settled?"

Dong paused for a moment, then quickly continued walking in, humming softly.

Ling Zong originally wanted to ask if things went smoothly, but seeing Dong's tired look on his face, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.Ling Chu went back to the yard to rest for a while, then took out the yellow paper and cinnabar and started making talismans.

You must concentrate on making talismans, otherwise you will easily make mistakes.

I got busy and an hour passed before I knew it.

Ling Chu was very tired.

After putting the talisman paper away and having some snacks and tea, she planned to go to sleep for a while before getting up for dinner.

After Xu Shi learned that the engagement was finally going to be terminated, he let go of something on his mind, and Ling Chu fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't get up until dusk fell, so Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju went to call her.

But after shouting several times, they saw that Ling Chu was still asleep. The two maids couldn't bear to wake her up again, so they simply let her have a good sleep.

Ling Chu fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.

It's rare that I slept for such a long time, and I look good.

After washing, she planned to go to the main hall to have breakfast.

Normally, she would deal with it alone in the yard.

I don't even want to go to the main hall and look at each other in disgust.

But today, she wanted to ask about breaking off the engagement. Although she knew that her parents had broken off the engagement yesterday, she still wanted to hear the result with her own ears.

Everyone was present in the flower hall. After Ling Chu saw the ceremony, he didn't waste any time and asked Ms. Dong directly, "Mother, has the wedding been cancelled?"

Mrs. Dong paused while drinking tea, raised her eyes and said coldly, "Since you have repeatedly said that you don't want to be the princess of Zhao Guogong's palace, then it will be as you wish. I just hope you won't regret it."

Ling Chu glanced at her mother, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that the marriage was called off, she didn't go back.

Even if all the men in the world died, she would not regret it.

Zhao Jingming was so disgusting, she didn't want to marry him even if he was the emperor, let alone the prince.

Ling Chu's marriage was gone. Some people were gloating about it, while others were regretful.

However, Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, and the others didn't speak either.

The breakfast meal was finished quietly and everyone was rinsing their mouths.

Ling Chu was about to have a drink and go back to his yard after completing the etiquette, but suddenly he heard a faint sound of festive suona.

Ling Chu was surprised, which family held a wedding early in the morning?

Not only was she surprised, but others were also talking about it. Only Mr. Dong lowered his eyes and drank tea without saying a word.

Listening to the sound of the suona getting closer and closer, the movement seemed to be from a nearby house.

Marriage is a big happy event, Ling Chu plans to go and watch the excitement, take the opportunity to be happy, it will also be good for her body.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, suddenly the woman guarding the door rushed in quickly. Before she could catch her breath, she stammered and shouted, "The flower... the flower... the sedan chair is here."

Everyone stopped drinking tea, then all turned their heads and stared at the woman inexplicably.

This old woman is suffering from hysteria, and there is no happy event happening at their house, so why would a sedan chair come to their house?

Ling Mao frowned with displeasure on his face. Compared with the servants hired from outside, they were really not that bad compared to those before in Shangshu Mansion.

Seeing that no one spoke, the wife had no choice but to say, "What kind of flower girl?"

"It's just...the sedan chair for welcoming the bride." The woman guarding the door didn't know whether she was too surprised to see the sedan chair, or she was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly when she saw so many people looking at her.
