The next day, early in the morning, Su Qishan and Xu Hui both came to visit.
Zhao Yuzhen and Chen Leyan guessed that they came to cancel the engagement, which was what they wanted, but they couldn't help feeling sad when they thought that the other party had canceled the engagement because their daughter was a beggar.
Su Qishan went straight to the point and said, "It's my fault that I didn't teach my adopted daughter well. When I went home yesterday, Wanqing fainted several times from crying. Her mother and I were very worried.
" Zhao Yuzhen sighed, "My daughter is unlucky. She shouldn't have implicated Wanqing. My family is willing to cancel the engagement with the Su family."
Upon hearing this, Su Qishan hurriedly said, "How can we cancel the engagement since our two families have already formed an alliance? Besides, I, the Su, am not the kind of person who would break my promise. Our two families will always be good relatives." Upon
hearing this, Zhao Yuzhen looked at Chen Leyan and said, "Why did Master Su come to your house today?"
"I came to your house today to change the engagement."
Chen Leyan was puzzled: "What do you mean by changing the engagement?"
"My two daughters are both engaged, but Wanqing is not educated enough and her mind is narrow-minded. I'm afraid that she will become sick with depression after marrying Huaining. I'm also worried that they will not get along after marriage. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. I thought about it all night and found a way to have the best of both worlds."
Su Qishan said as he took out two marriage certificates from his arms.
"Before the Zhang family came to ask for marriage, I had already married Zhiqiu to the Zhang family. Because Wanqing was not doing well, I would like the three families to change the marriage, marrying Zhiqiu to Huaining and Wanqing to Zhang's son Zhang Jingming."
When these words came out, Zhao Yuzhen and Chen Leyan were shocked.
Zhao Yuzhen was surprised and a little surprised. This marriage change was in line with their wishes.
"Will the Zhang family agree?" Zhao Yuzhen was a little worried.
"I went to the Zhang family last night, and they agreed. As long as Mr. Zhao nods, you and I can go to the county government office to modify the marriage certificate." Su Qishan observed the other party's reaction and felt that it could be done. "Outsiders don't know about the marriage between you and me. It's just right to modify it now and set the engagement date."
Zhao Yuzhen looked at his wife who was thinking and asked, "Yanniang, what do you think?"
Chen Leyan had already chosen Su Zhiqiu, and she should be happy, but when she thought that the Su family married Zhiqiu to their daughter when they knew that their daughter was destined to be a beggar, she felt uncomfortable. Zhiqiu had suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child. Now, how could she drag that good child into an unknown fire pit?
"Does Zhiqiu know about the marriage change?" Chen Leyan asked. Xu Hui was stunned when she heard this
, and smiled, "The marriage of children is decided by the elders, she doesn't know yet, but Zhiqiu has a steady personality and never cries, Master Chen, don't worry." Chen Leyan's face darkened when she heard this. Can she ignore her daughter's wishes if she doesn't cry? "You can cancel the engagement, but my family doesn't agree to change the engagement." Chen Leyan said with a cold face. Zhao Yuzhen knew what his wife was thinking when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh. The three words "beggar's life" were deeply engraved in their hearts, making them embarrassed to propose to Zhiqiu for their daughter! Xu Hui didn't say anything. It was okay to cancel the engagement. If Su Qishan hadn't firmly disagreed to cancel the engagement, she would not be willing to let her eldest daughter marry Zhao Huaining. As long as the engagement was canceled, she could choose a better one for Wanqing, so that both daughters would have a good life. "Master Chen, you must not cancel the engagement. My Su family is also a family of scholars. How can we do such a thing!" Su Qishan was a little anxious. "In fact, speaking of it, the matchmakers of the Zhao and Zhang families came to ask for marriage almost at the same time. Your matchmaker only said that he wanted to marry Miss Su, and did not mention the name. Isn't it good for us to switch now?" Chen Leyan looked at Zhao Yuzhen when she heard it. Zhao Yuzhen was also confused. The matchmaker only said that he wanted to marry Miss Su? "Zhen Niang and Yan Niang." The old lady's voice came from the back of the main hall. Zhao Yuzhen and Chen Leyan hurriedly got up when they heard the voice. Two maids helped the old lady out from the back. Zhao Yuzhen hurriedly helped the old lady to sit down: "Mother, you are not fully recovered, why did you come out?" "Such a big thing happened yesterday. Do you think I can't see the clues if you let the servants hide it from me? Your face was so stinky last night. I asked a maid, do you dare not tell me?" Zhao Yuzhen was silent when he heard it. The old lady then looked at Su Qishan and his wife who greeted her, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the Su family is so righteous. Most people would come to cancel the engagement after hearing about Huaining's fate. In this chaotic world, there are not many people like Su Zhubu who are both trustworthy and righteous." "Old lady, you are too kind." Su Qishan said. "These are all my wife's true feelings. Su Zhubu doesn't need to be too modest." The old lady smiled and looked at Chen Leyan and said: "Yan Niang, have someone call Huaining over. This is her marriage, and she should make her own decision." Chen Leyan hurried out of the front hall after hearing this, and ordered a little maid to call Zhao Huaining. When Zhao Huaining heard that someone from the Su family was coming, he thought they were here to cancel the engagement, so he came happily. Because he was in a good mood, he also greeted Su Qishan and Xu Hui happily. "Huaining, come here." The old lady waved to her granddaughter, "Your uncle Su wants to cancel the engagement for Wanqing, what do you think?" "Okay." Zhao Huaining agreed very readily, "Okay, no problem at all." A fortune-telling helped her a lot, otherwise she would have to deliberately make Su Wanqing hate her, and she didn't know how long it would take for the other party to dislike her and cancel the engagement. Chen Leyan stared at her daughter in front of her blankly and pursed her lips. Why did she not only agree but also show deep joy? Su Qishan and Xu Hui were also stunned, and then a trace of displeasure flashed across their faces. They were so happy that it seemed like their daughter Wanqing was like a plague god and they had to send her away in a hurry! ! "Ahem!" The old lady coughed lightly, "Your uncle Su is a noble man. He canceled Wanqing's engagement and wants to marry your sister Zhiqiu to you. You see..." "Ah?" Zhao Huaining was shocked. The book didn't say that Su Zhiqiu was married to Zhao Huaining. Besides, she was going to die, and getting engaged to Su Zhiqiu would be a disaster for people? "No!!!" Zhao Huaining refused firmly. .... Su Qishan and Xu Hui looked at Zhao Huaining fiercely. Did they have to say "no" so loudly? ? How could their daughter be worthy of Zhao Huaining, who was not a beggar? This girl was too ignorant! Su Qishan said coldly: "Then don't cancel your marriage with Wanqing. My Su family can't do such a treacherous thing. Just pretend I didn't mention the marriage change." Zhao Huaining heard this and thought it wouldn't work. How could she leave Su Wanqing to harm the Zhao family? "Uncle Su, what I mean is that Sister Zhiqiu has never liked to talk to me, and I'm afraid she won't agree. How about this? Let's go to the government office to cancel the engagement first, so as not to delay Sister Wanqing. As for Sister Zhiqiu, if she agrees, we can get married. How about that?" Su Qishan's expression eased after hearing this. He looked at the elders of the Zhao family and said, "Old lady, Mr. Zhao, and Master Chen, what do you think about this?" The old lady smiled and said, "I think Huaining's idea is pretty good." Chen Leyan also agreed, "I agree too." Su Qishan looked at Zhao Yuzhen and said, "Then... Mr. Zhao, you and I will go to the government office to cancel the engagement now?" "Please, Master Su." Zhao Yuzhen said, picking up the marriage certificate and standing up. After watching the few people leave, Zhao Huaining ran away quickly under Chen Leyan's inquiring eyes. She went back to her room, took a shower, changed her clothes, and neatly stacked the books she had read on the table, then walked to the door, closed it and left! When she was awakened from a dream in the middle of the night, she thought about many ways of dying. Finally, she decided to respect Zhao Huaining in the book and fall off the cliff at Fengjue Mountain!
Fengjue Mountain was all green. Zhao Huaining stood on the top of the cliff with her arms outstretched. She closed her eyes and felt the spring breeze blowing on her face very comfortably.
"Yan Jun! I'm coming!!!" Zhao Huaining said as she stood on tiptoe and leaned down... Then, there was no expected feeling of flying, only a suffocating feeling of being strangled by the neck and almost unable to breathe.
"Huh?" Zhao Huaining drew her arms in the air twice, opened her eyes, turned her head and saw a cold face looking at her expressionlessly, while the other party's hand was tightly holding the back of her collar.
"I'm almost strangled to death by you, can you pull me back?" Zhao Huaining begged hoarsely and uncomfortably. She wanted to die but didn't want to be suffocated to death in such agony!
Su Zhiqiu heard this and pulled the other party back with force.
Zhao Huaining staggered back two steps, sat down on the grass, and gasped.
"What...Huh, when did you come?"
Su Zhiqiu stood there with her arms folded, looking down at Zhao Huaining and said, "I came a long time ago. I wanted to come back to see what you were doing on the cliff that day. Later, I found nothing and was about to leave to go back to the academy for class. I found that you were already at the foot of the mountain, so I hid behind a tree. I never thought that you wanted to commit suicide!"
Zhao Huaining laughed and said, "I told you a long time ago that I was going to die soon."
"Why? Just because others say you are destined to be a beggar?" Su Zhiqiu frowned.
"Tsk!" Zhao Huaining laughed, "Why should I care what others say? I have the final say in my life!"
Su Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then you...is it because Wanqing wants to break off the engagement with you?"
Zhao Huaining laughed when he heard this: "What a joke, I wish she would break off the engagement as soon as possible. Your sister is a person who wants benefits and fame. She and I are not the same kind of people. Now that the two families have broken off the engagement, I can't wait to be happy."
Su Zhiqiu was surprised. When did the other party look at her sister like this?
"It's not gentlemanly to speak ill of others behind their backs."
Zhao Huaining stood up and said, "I'm going to say a few last words to you from the bottom of my heart, why do you have to raise moral standards?"
"You still want to die?" Su Zhiqiu couldn't figure it out, "Why?"
"If I say I'm going down to have a drink with Lord Yan, do you believe it?" Zhao Huaining smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Boring."
Zhao Huaining put away his playful smile and said seriously, "It's nice to meet you. I hope I can see you drive straight and whip the Liao soldiers to fulfill your long-cherished wish in the
underworld." Zhao Huaining said, while Su Zhiqiu was surprised, he quickly ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
Su Zhiqiu was shocked when she saw this, and hurried to the edge of the cliff to see, only to see the lone pine branch growing upwards straight through Zhao Huaining's back belt, and the whole person swayed back and forth with the shaking of the tree trunk.
Zhao Huaining was roaring in her heart, she helplessly hugged her arms, and let the tree trunk sway with her in the spring breeze with a dead look!
