The old master is preparing to call off the engagement!
When someone delivered this news to Shangguan Dao in the presence of many members of the Shangguan family clan, announcing the old master's decision to oppose the marriage alliance with the Yin family, it immediately caused a stir among the clan.
"Why is Father so stubborn!" Shangguan Shu stamped her foot angrily and hurriedly ran to find her father, determined that nothing should ruin this marriage alliance.
The sister-in-law also couldn't understand. The marriage alliance was evidently very beneficial for the Shangguan family, not only saving the old master's life but also securing the family's status. Why then did the old master disagree and prepare to call it off?
