Chapter 77 Breaking off the Engagement
Qin Shu bowed and said, "My daughter Qin Shu, I am here to meet Madam Chengguo."
Madam Cheng took a few quick steps and rushed to Qin Shu. She smiled amiably and helped her up. "Shu'er, get up quickly. I should have come to see you a long time ago. I heard that you went to Pudu Temple to pray for your parents, so I was delayed until now."
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said with red eyes, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back."
Qin Shu smiled lightly and extended her hand, "Madam, please."
The clan leader also exchanged greetings with Mrs. Cheng and took seats according to the host and guest.
Qin Shu nodded to Nanny Yuan, who changed her arrogance in front of Qin Jingchang, knelt down respectfully towards her, and stood behind Madam Cheng.
There was no maid in the mansion, so Nanny Chun served tea herself and stood behind Qin Shu.
The other elders had already followed Xiao Cheng to avoid the door before Madam Cheng came in. The two maids who came with Madam Cheng consciously stood guard outside the door.
There were only the clan leader, Qin Shu, Madam Cheng and two maids in the room.
Mrs. Cheng looked at the clan leader and Nanny Chun, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
She coughed lightly and said, "Your mother and I have known each other since childhood. After we got married, we were lucky enough to be together in the same city. It was a rare fate. I still remember that when Shu'er was just born, I came to see you. You were so small and so cute."
Qin Shu sat upright, her hands crossed on her knees, her eyes slightly drooped, and she nodded slightly when she heard the words.
"At that time, I joked with your mother, saying that it would be great if I could have a daughter as obedient, cute, and smart as you."
Madam Cheng sighed with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up and reached the age to get married, and we have also grown old. I thought that after the New Year, you would enter the mansion, and we would finally be able to complete the fate of mother and daughter. But I never thought..."
Mrs. Cheng's eyes quickly turned red and tears fell.
Qin Shu's nose felt sore and she quickly turned to look outside the door, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes: No matter how nice the words are, as soon as her mother dies, she will turn around and marry another woman for her son?
Why play the family card?
Isn't it embarrassing?
Madam Cheng shed tears silently for a while, and then continued, "I didn't agree to let Xiao Qin marry into the Cheng family. But her father found your uncle Cheng in private, and they discussed it quietly for a day. They actually wanted to let Xiao Qin marry into the Cheng family in your place."
"Rumor has it that Hao'er has numerous concubines and maids in his backyard. In fact, he just jokes around with those girls a lot and gets a little closer to them. He is still very careful about his behavior on weekdays."
"At that time, I just thought that you were tired of Hao'er and liked a devoted lover, so it was not easy to go against your wishes."
"But I never thought that those messy words were deliberately spread by Xiao Qin's father in order to facilitate this marriage."
"Even so, when Xiao Qin entered the mansion, my aunt still let her go through the side door, and did not welcome her in as the main wife."
She raised her eyes, looked at Qin Shu with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Back then, I promised your mother that I would treat you as my own daughter and treat you well."
"If you don't like that little Qin, I will ask Hao'er to send her to the farm. I will never let her appear in front of you in this lifetime. Okay?"
Qin Shu couldn't help but chuckle: Look at what you said.
They are a family with deep affection. Lord and Mrs. Cheng are good people, and Cheng Zonghao is a good person.
They were all forced.
It was Qin Jingchang who used tricks, it was Qin Baoyi who was shameless, it was Qin Shu who was narrow-minded and intolerant...
If the Qin family hadn't had so many problems, this marriage wouldn't have had so many twists and turns.
You stab others with a soft knife, and you're afraid that others won't feel pain!
Qin Shu sighed and asked, "Madam Cheng, before Qin Baoyi entered the mansion, didn't you know about the replacement marriage?"
Mrs. Cheng was startled. "Of course I know this."
"But didn't you agree?" Qin Shu curled her lips slightly and said, "Or, Mrs. Cheng has never drunk the tea Qin Baoyi offered?"
During a wedding ceremony, although there is no ceremony in the hall, the new daughter-in-law has to offer tea to her mother-in-law.
If the mother-in-law accepts the tea offered by her daughter-in-law, it means that she approves of the daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Cheng's face became more and more embarrassed. "At that time..."
"That means she drank too much." Qin Shu interrupted Mrs. Cheng directly, "Since the lady has already accepted Qin Baoyi as her daughter-in-law, it would be bad for Shu'er to interfere and ruin someone else's marriage."
"Today, Shu'er has already proposed to Lord Cheng to cancel the engagement in front of Lord Ji at the South City Gate and many common people, and Lord Cheng has already agreed."
She smiled slightly and looked at Madam Cheng, who was blushing. "Madam, if you still remember the affection you have for your mother, return Shu'er's engagement letter to her. Even if Shu'er and Madam cannot be mother and daughter, she is still the daughter of your old friend, isn't she?"
I don’t know how Cheng Mao’s matter will be handled.
But as long as Cheng Mao serves as the governor of Jinzhou City for one day, he will be the leader of Jinzhou City with the final say.
It is not wise to make enemies with him.
Mrs. Cheng was silent.
Qin Shu suppressed her smile and said softly, "Originally, Shu'er thought about the hard work of Second Uncle in arranging the funeral for my parents, and wanted to give the dowry to my cousin as a way of expressing gratitude to Second Uncle for his hard work, and also to fulfill the relationship between us sisters."
"I never thought that Qin Jingchang was the murderer of my parents. In this case, Qin Baoyi and I are the enemies who killed my father and mother. If I give her the dowry, I'm afraid my parents will not be able to rest in peace in their graves."
"If Auntie still remembers the old friendship with Mother, please return the dowry that Qin Baoyi brought into the house secretly to Shu'er. Shu'er will be grateful."
"Such a large sum of money was taken away without Shu'er's consent. This should be considered theft, right?"
If Qin Shu reported the matter to the police in anger, not only would Qin Baoyi be embarrassed, but the Cheng family would also lose face.
It might even become a laughing stock of the entire Great Zhou!
Mrs. Cheng felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to move up or down.
She silently calmed down for a while, and then hesitantly said after a long time: "This, since the dowry is Shu'er's, it should be returned. But the engagement letter, when my aunt came, she didn't bring it..."
Qin Shu immediately stood up and bowed to the clan leader, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle, to go to Cheng's house with Nanny Chun."
The clan leader stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "This is as it should be. Since Shu's parents are not around, the clan should step in to handle your matter."
Having come to this point, there is no need to continue.
Mrs. Cheng sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Qin Shu whispered a few words in Nanny Chun's ear, called a carriage, and asked the clan leader to take Nanny Chun, the engagement letter and token from the Cheng family, and go to the governor's mansion with Madam Cheng.
When it was completely dark, the clan leader and Nanny Chun returned to the mansion with three large carriages full of dowry.
Nanny Chun put the gold-painted box containing the silver bills that she had been holding in her arms on the table next to Qin Shu, and she bent over with laughter.
Qin Shu helped Nanny Chun sit down, gently patted her back, and said with a smile: "Nanny, you have worked hard today."
Madam Liu spat at Madam Chun and said with a smile, "Alright, you've been making people laugh for so long, why don't you tell us something so we can have some fun too?"
