C24 If Your Family Wants Face Then I Don't Want It
That Meng Zhao Shi immediately smiled and passed the marriage annulment invitation to the old lady from the maidservant.
The old lady didn't even look at it. She took the blue porcelain cup that Bi Qiu handed over and took a sip from the lid.
The maidservant raised the red marriage annulment invitation and looked at Meng Zhao Shi awkwardly. Her expression was also not very good.
This damned old woman, she clearly agreed to the marriage annulment, but why didn't she take the marriage annulment invitation?
Was she purposely making things difficult for her?
"This... Old lady... Do you have any other requests?"
Was it money or the title deed?
Meng Zhao Shi straightened her neck and reminded her. The old lady still put down the porcelain cup unhurriedly. She crossed her hands and gave Bi Qiu a look. Bi Qiu immediately understood and nodded slightly. She took the invitation and placed it by Meng Zhao Shi's side.
Meng Zhao Shi took a look and immediately widened her eyes. It was exactly the same as the marriage annulment invitation that she had sent to the Zhao Mansion yesterday!
"Old lady, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? You only allow the Zhao Mansion to annul my Su family's daughter's marriage, but you don't allow the Su family to annul your Zhao Mansion's marriage?"
"But this... Your marriage annulment, how can we, the Zhao Mansion, have any face left?"
"If your Zhao Mansion wants that face, then why don't we, the Su Mansion, have no face?"
This old woman was really shameless to say that.
You want face, but I don't want it?
The Su family couldn't afford to lose face!
"This... Old Lady, our Zhao family is the one who broke the engagement first. You can't do this..."
Old Lady Su raised her eyelids.
"If you want to break the engagement, I won't accept it. Now, it is my Su Mansion who broke the engagement with your Zhao family."
"Old Lady, how is my family's Luoyun not good? You want to break the engagement? No one from your Su Mansion can break the engagement!"
"Your family's daughter is so ugly, yet you still have the nerve to break the engagement with my Zhao Mansion?"
When Meng Zhao Shi heard this, she immediately exploded. She slapped the table with her palm and with a "bang", the tea cup on the table collided with the cup cover, making a "hualala" sound. Her expression immediately changed, and she did not even spare any face for the words she was about to say.
Don't you know how ugly your daughter is? How dare you break the engagement with my Zhao Mansion?
Su Yueru lowered her eyebrows, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. Zhao Mansion was also a brainless place. Wasn't this deliberately looking for trouble? She didn't even give face to the old lady. Her father was a top filial son. If the old lady complained to her father, the Zhao Mansion with no real power would be able to bear it.
"My Su Mansion's daughter, no matter how ugly she is, she is not someone you can climb up to!"
When Old Lady Su heard this, her eyes turned green with anger.
This Meng Zhao Shi was too ignorant. She didn't even have the slightest bit of education. How could a woman like her say such words?
No matter what, Yueru was still the daughter of the Su family. How could she allow an outsider to lecture her like this? She even spoke so rudely in front of her master. She truly did not have any face left.
This was not only mocking Su Yueru, but also slapping the face of the Su Mansion.
"Whoever can't climb up to the top still can't say for sure."
"I'm not going to argue with you over this. If you want to cancel the engagement, you can do it. The Su Mansion will do it!"
"Madam, I'm giving you face today. Do you believe that I will go and ask the Emperor to issue a decree tomorrow to…"
"How about us?"
The old lady was also angry, but there was not much of a sinister look on her face. She just pulled her eyes and made people feel cold. She held the dragon-headed walking stick and knocked on the marble floor.
The dragon-headed walking stick was given to her by her ancestor, the Emperor. It was used to knock down the emperor and the treacherous officials. Not to mention that the current emperor was a sickly person who did not care about anything, even if the emperor was alive and well, he still had to call the old lady aunt.
What did she, Meng Zhao, count as?
She was only married to General Meng, who had followed Prince Qi, Mo Beichen, to fight on the battlefield.
As for this Meng Zhao, when she was not married, she was already quite domineering. In the past few years, with General Meng protecting her, and with the help of Prince Qi, Mo Beichen, she would always give others some respect. This made this woman even more arrogant.
Now that she was angry, she would not even give face to anyone. Even the old lady did not put her in her eyes?
But who was Old Lady Su? She was a person who could shake the world. How could she allow a little girl to be so impudent in front of her?
As for Su Yueru, the main character, she stood there like a wooden stake as if she had not heard anything.
In any case, with the old lady standing up for her, she didn't need to be anxious.
That Meng Zhao Shi was also stunned for a moment. She must have thought of this relationship.
She curled her lips.
"Old lady, don't let both families look bad. How about we take a step back?"
"Do you not understand what I am saying?"
"Old lady, this is not going to be fun …"
"Men, send the guests away!"
Before Meng Zhao Shi could finish her words, the old lady waved her walking stick and said with a strong voice.
She was so angry that she directly knocked the walking stick on the woman's body, which was already considered giving face.
No matter what, she, Su Mansion, was still the Prime Minister of the dynasty.
Su Zhen held a great power in his hands, and the family was definitely stronger than the Zhao Mansion!
The old lady directly sent the guests away.
To put it nicely, it was to send the guests away, but to put it bluntly, it was to chase them away.
Meng Zhao Shi was also full of anger. How could Su Yueru be worthy of their Luoyun? How could that ugly woman have the nerve to cancel the engagement! Their Zhao Mansion could not afford to lose face. If they were to be forced to cancel the engagement by an ugly woman, wouldn't Luoyun be laughed at to death when she went out in the future?
After she left in a row, she left a message saying that the Zhao Mansion would not let this matter go.
Originally, it was a good thing, but it became like this.
Su Yueru, who was the party concerned, did not do anything, but the old lady was so angry that she was about to explode. It was only after a long while that she recovered.
Su Yuelan, Su Yuexin, and Su Qi's mother and daughter, who were watching the show from the outside, only came closer after seeing that the people had left.
Su Yuelan and Su Yuexin naturally stood behind their mother.
As for Su Qi and Lin Xuemei, they stood on the other side.
Their eyes were filled with unconcealable smiles. Those who had good eyes could tell that they were not harboring any good intentions. They were purely here to see a joke. No wonder the old lady only glanced at them and then turned her head away, looking at Su Yueru.
On the other hand, this granddaughter of hers had a calm expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. Only her slightly red eyes revealed some of her emotions.
Mrs. Tian pursed her lips and took the teacup from the Maidservant's hand, passing it to the old lady.
"Mother, this Zhao Mansion's marriage cannot be canceled. This is Yueru's marriage."
If this marriage was canceled, it would not benefit her at all. In the future, who knew how this little slut would treat her?
This was Yueru's marriage!
"You also know that this is a marriage, so you must not be careless. Look at what kind of people are in the Zhao Mansion? Will Yueru have a good life after marrying into the Zhao Mansion? If you don't feel sorry for this poor child, my wife will!"
Mrs. Tian's face stiffened. How could this old woman be so unpleasant to her? It was all because of this little slut!
