629, cover up
The two of them got together, and Xu Shu hid in a leisurely state. While they were having an argument, they left with the excuse of peeing. They first went to Pu Yuxuan and asked Grandma Zheng that she was going to deliver things to the temple recently. It was true.
Jin Zhi nodded after hearing this, "There is such a thing. This has been the norm over the years. Every year, the beginning of winter, I have to send some festivals to the family temple. In previous years, the eldest lady was responsible for this matter. This year, the old lady sent a message and asked the eldest and second young grandma to do it!"
"When will I send it?" Xu Shu asked.
Jin Zhi shook his head, "I don't know this slave, but it's about to start winter, and it's only one or two days!"
Xu Shu nodded and ordered, "Please pay attention to this matter in the past two days. When you send something, find a reliable person to follow. Don't let the people from the mansion say what should not be said in front of Miss Ten!" Zheng Wanli suddenly became inexplicably close to Cai Zhenzhen, which made Xu Shu always feel worried. If Zheng Wanli wanted to do something to Zheng Wanfeng, it would be the most appropriate to take advantage of this opportunity to borrow Grandma Zheng's hand.
Jin Zhi nodded repeatedly, "I understand!"
Xu Shu was about to leave when she looked up and saw Mrs. Zheng Si coming back, she went up to meet her, "Mother is back!"
"Why are you back?" Mrs. Zheng Si was surprised for a moment and explained, "It's good to be back!"
"What's wrong?" Did Mrs. Zheng San really tell her mother something amazing?
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "It's not a good thing!" When she got engaged to Duke Su's mansion, Mrs. Zheng Si felt that it was not a big deal, but Zheng Wanli was not her daughter after all. She didn't say much about her biological mother. Now that the wedding date is approaching, something really happened.
Xu Shu obediently stopped asking, "I just met Miss Cai at Cousin Qi!"
Mrs. Zheng Si was not surprised at all, "Your third aunt was complaining about this to me just now!"
"Ms. Cai is as proficient in calligraphy and painting as cousin Qi, but she has similar interests!"
Likely interesting...
This was quite meaningful. Mrs. Zheng Si asked with a smile, "Have you discovered something again?"
Xu Shu said, "My cousin Qi was still complaining to me that Miss Cai was bothering her every day, but turned around but chatting with Miss Cai again. This attitude changed a little faster!"
"Sister Li..." Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "Don't have a deep relationship with her!" Zheng Wanfeng's affairs were full of shadows, and Mrs. Zheng San was not going to bother with a junior. Zheng Wanli... The child's scheming was really hidden!
"I know!" Xu Shu nodded obediently, and told Mrs. Zheng Si about her suspicion of Zheng Wanli and what she had just ordered Jin Zhi.
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "You are so cautious and careful and pay attention to me, so I will worry! Now I hope that the master will settle this matter quickly. After the decision is made, I will not care about anyone who talks too much!"
The wood is already done, and Zheng Wanfeng knows that no matter how unwilling she is, she can only bear it. What she loses her face when she makes a big fuss is her own face. Compared to dying in the temple with old age, Xu Shu believes that Zheng Wanfeng would rather marry Hu Sicheng.
"Madam, it's not good!" Jin Ling came in in panic.
It is rare to see Jin Ling look so panicked, and Mrs. Zheng Si's expression became serious, "What's wrong? Someone is coming from Duke Su's mansion!"
Someone came to Duke Su's Mansion? What a big deal? Mrs. Zheng Si was calm in an instant, "Can you come and compensate me?" The divorce letter was obviously written by someone else. Once the Duke Su's Mansion was discovered, in order to protect the engagement between the two families, Duke Su's Mansion would of course come to apologize!
"No!" Jinling shook her head, "I'm here to break the engagement!"
"Back off the engagement?" Mrs. Zheng Si opened her mouth in surprise. Could it be that the letter of rescinding the engagement was really written by Duke Su?
"Yes, now the person has gone to the old lady's place, and the second lady has also rushed over!"
"Second Lady?" What's the matter with Mrs. Zheng. Not to mention Xu Shu was confused when she heard it, even Mrs. Zheng, who knew a little bit of the inside story, became confused. "Why is it the second lady?" Could it be that the third lady is not the third lady? Mrs. Zheng suddenly remembered something, "Are you saying that the Duke Su Guo Mansion is coming to find Miss Eighth to break off the engagement?"
Jin Ling nodded, "Yes! Do you think the lady is here to find Miss Seven to break the engagement? Miss Seven is the legitimate daughter. The Duke of Su Guo’s Mansion is not so bold that he dares to break the engagement without saying a word!"
"That's not necessarily!" Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and scolded Jin Ling, "You have never seen the world. What a big deal will scare you like this!"
Jin Ling said aggrievedly, "I didn't do it on purpose. Madam, you didn't see it. There are many people coming to Duke Su's mansion, and they are very aggressive. It looks like they are here to find a problem, but they don't seem to be here to break the engagement!"
It takes so many people to break off the engagement? I'm afraid it's not that simple! Mrs. Zheng Si obeyed her confusion and ordered, "I told the girls and mothers everywhere not to wander around and inquire about it for nothing, be honest and hit the knife carefully, I won't care!"
"Yes, I'll go now!" Jin Ling hurriedly went.
Xu Shu thought about Mrs. Zheng Si's words, "Why is it the second wife?" and wondered if Mrs. Zheng San and Mrs. Zheng Si were talking about the matter of Duke Su's mansion coming to withdraw from the bride, but the object of the bride was changed to Miss Zheng Qi.
"This is indeed a matter of climbing up the high branches!" Mrs. Zheng shook her head, glad that this matter had nothing to do with the fourth house. It was just at this critical moment that the Zheng family had a subtle status. However, the Duke Su's mansion came to break the engagement fiercely, which was not a good omen. In the eyes of others, it was inevitable that people would feel that the queen was declining, and the Zheng family was also incompetent to bully it.
Climbing the high branches? With the status of the Zheng family, getting married to Duke Su's mansion is not considered to be a high branch. Besides, the legitimate child is matched with the legitimate child, and the illegitimate child is not considered a high-level leader at all, unless the illegitimate child is matched with the legitimate child...
Xu Shu was startled by her thoughts.
Although when Xu Shu first met Cai Zhenzhen, she joked that she wanted to marry Cai Zhenzhen with a pair of brothers, in fact, there were very few cases when the sisters married her. After all, marriage was to win over or maintain the friendship between the two families. After having a marriage contract, there was no need to get another family in one fell swoop. Children's marriages are bargaining chips used by the family to exchange interests. Only by using the role of bargaining chips to the extreme can the family bring the greatest benefits. It would be a waste to put the two bargaining chips in the same place. A shrewd family would never do such a thing.
But the Zheng family and the Duke of Su Guo did this, which is too unreasonable. Why is this?
