On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

What Ning Luo could think of, the Liu family naturally thought of as well.

If the matter of breaking off the engagement is reported to the government, it will be the greatest loss to the Liu family. Since ancient times, most men have broken off engagements, while women have rarely done so. Moreover, his reason for breaking off the engagement is not within the law.

Even if the government cancels the engagement, it will affect the reputation of the Liu family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Chengzhi said in a deep voice: "Why don't you make a request and we'll satisfy it, and you can just cancel the marriage."

Ning Qingfeng sneered, "Liu Chengzhi, you are so arrogant. What can a Shaoqing of Sinong Temple satisfy us?"

Liu Chengzhi said confidently: "Your son is only a minor official of the seventh or eighth rank. As a fifth-rank official, I can naturally recommend you for promotion."

"You don't have to worry about it. My sons will strive for promotion in their careers based on their own political achievements." Ning Qingfeng said disdainfully.

Liu Chengzhi added: "Then we will compensate you with silver. You name a price. Of course, you can't ask for an exorbitant price."

Ning Qingfeng was furious, "Get lost! Our Ning family doesn't lack money."

"Ning Qingfeng, you have reached the point where you have to resign from your title. Don't pretend to be noble anymore. Your family is prosperous and your business is great, otherwise you wouldn't still be living in this house."

Liu Chengzhi sarcastically pointed out the current situation of the Ning family.

"As far as I know, you distributed most of the military awards given to you by the court to the orphans of the fallen soldiers, and you didn't have much left. There have been no wars and no awards in recent years. Your meager salary alone cannot support the expenses of the whole government."

"Whether my family's salary is enough to cover expenses is none of your business!" Ning Qingfeng finally couldn't help but swear.

Ning Luo also said: "The Liu family is not prosperous, but they like to bully others by taking advantage of their power. If my brother becomes the imperial censor in the future, he will definitely impeach your Liu family!"

"Little girl, don't speak nonsense. Your Ning family has offended the court, and you will never produce an imperial censor in this lifetime." The head of the Liu family said proudly, "When our Yingying enters the palace and becomes the imperial concubine, I will be the first to deal with your Ning family."

Ning Luo sneered, "An abandoned woman who never even looked in the mirror thinks she is a fairy. How can the emperor choose her as a concubine? Ridiculous. Let's wait and see who will take care of whom."

While they were arguing, Ning Yuanbo came hurriedly. On the way, he had heard the housekeeper tell him that the Liu family had come to cancel the engagement, and he had also just seen the returned betrothal gifts in the front yard.

He had already made up his mind that he would never accept the girl from the Liu family even if she was given to him.

Ning Yuanbo entered the flower hall and was heartbroken when he heard his younger sister arguing with the Liu family on behalf of the family.

"Luo'er, I'm back. I can handle this matter."

"Dad, Mom, I agree to cancel the engagement, but we have to go to the Liu family to cancel the engagement."

Ning Yuanbo looked at the Liu family and said sternly, "I, Ning Yuanbo, disdain to marry the daughter of your Liu family. This marriage is over. Tomorrow, I will personally beat the gong and drum to cancel the engagement. I don't want to let all the nobles in Kyoto know that you Liu family are going to send your daughter to the palace!"

"Yuanbo, you don't have to go and cancel the engagement in person. Just write them a letter of divorce and divorce your wife now." Ning Qingfeng quickly winked at his son.

If the man comes to cancel the engagement, it will affect the reputation of the Ning Mansion. According to the law, the man will be beaten if he cancels the engagement without reason.

Ning Yuanbo happily understood, "Then I will write the divorce letter now."

Following the return of the book, he immediately opened the bookcase and took out the four treasures of the study.

Liu Chengzhi immediately said, "Mr. Ning, if you have something to say, let's talk it over. Why don't you write the divorce letter?"

"Besides, my daughter hasn't even married yet."

Ning Qingfeng said angrily, "No need to waste words, I can divorce your daughter just because she is not filial to her parents."
