When Su Qianqian arrived at the front hall, she imdiately saw Huang Ying seated at the head.
Su Changyuan and Madam Su sat lower down, their faces unsightly, their gazes so dark that they could drip water!
This scene easily made one think that the Su couple was being bullied by Huang Ying.
Su Qianqian already harbored resentnt toward Zhao Yi, and upon seeing this, her eyebrows imdiately arched in anger.
She pointed at Huang Ying, scolding, "You despicable maid, daring to humiliate my parents, do you not know how to write the word ’death’?"
Huang Ying’s expression remained unchanged, not even glancing at Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian was unaccustod to such grievance and was instantly furious.
She wanted to curse further, but Su Changyuan spoke up: "Qianqian, do not be disrespectful."
Su Qianqian turned to Su Changyuan, incredulous: "Father, this despicable maid is humiliating our family, and you still want to speak for her?"
Su Changyuan did not answer but solemnly asked Su Qianqian, "Qianqian, do you know of a monk nad Fajing from West Mountain Temple?"
Upon hearing the na of the protagonist, Su Qianqian’s face turned slightly unnatural.
She did not answer directly, instead dodging: "Father, why are you asking about this?"
After speaking, Su Qianqian once again turned her attention to Huang Ying, seated at the head.
She suddenly realized, "Did Zhao Yi send her to complain?"
Su Qianqian glared at Huang Ying and sneered, "Zhao Yi wants to use my parents to force to comply? Tell him that this lady will not fall for it! These childish tricks, unworthy of the stage, only irritate people!"
With these words, both of the Su couple’s faces changed abruptly.
Bam!
Su Changyuan slamd his palm heavily on the table, furiously saying:
"Outrageous!"
Su Qianqian was unafraid, stubbornly speaking to Huang Ying: "Go back and tell Zhao Yi not to co see again, I don’t want to see him!"
"Revolt, revolt!" Madam Su trembled with anger.
One hand clutching her chest, her face full of pain, while the other pointed shakily at Su Qianqian, almost dying from anger!
Huang Ying swept her gaze over the three mbers of the Su family, shaking her head.
"Enough!"
She stood up, disinterested, saying: "Lord Su, I’ve said all I needed to, and later I will send soone to settle the accounts for the past deliveries, please be prepared!"
Upon hearing this, Su Changyuan and Madam Su’s expressions changed suddenly.
Su Changyuan quickly stood up, cupping his hands and bowing: "Miss Huang Ying, there must be so misunderstanding! Please give so ti, I will definitely get to the bottom of it and give the Sixth Prince a satisfactory answer!"
Huang Ying heard this and nodded noncommittally, slowly sitting back down.
Seeing that he had managed to placate Huang Ying, Su Changyuan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Earlier, when the servant reported that Huang Ying had co, Su Changyuan thought she was delivering sothing again, eagerly waiting to see what treasure the Sixth Prince had sent this ti.
Unexpectedly, what arrived was a bolt from the blue!
The Sixth Prince wanted to break off the engagent!
The reason was that Su Qianqian had been unfaithful!
And with a monk!
Hearing this news, Su Changyuan nearly blacked out, almost collapsing to his death!
Madam Su was similarly terrified, her whole body going limp, if not for a clever maid quickly supporting her, she would have made a fool of herself!
But Madam Su couldn’t care about making a fool of herself now.
If the Sixth Prince broke off the engagent, the sky would fall on the Su family!
Everything the Su family had now, wealth, power, status, was all obtained through the Sixth Prince Zhao Yi!
If the Sixth Prince broke off the engagent, the Su family would instantly be brought back to their original state!
By that ti!
The luxurious life, the envy in the eyes of the noble housewives, and her husband’s ever-advancing official career, all of it would beco a bubble!
Moving from frugality to luxury is easy; moving from luxury to frugality is hard.
Madam Su wouldn’t mind if she had never experienced the taste of wealth and glory.
But having tasted the sweetness, going back to the bitter days of eating chaff would be more painful than death!
Su Changyuan, after all, was seasoned in the officialdom, much more composed and astute than Madam Su.
Zhao Yi’s breaking off the engagent caught Su Changyuan off guard, but he didn’t lose his composure.
The urgent matter at hand was to understand exactly what happened!
Su Changyuan managed to stabilize Huang Ying while quickly sending soone to find Su Qianqian.
The Sixth Prince Zhao Yi’s deep affection for Su Qianqian was known throughout Wangjing City.
Su Changyuan believed that as long as things were explained clearly, and Su Qianqian went to apologize to the Sixth Prince, things might pass.
What he didn’t expect was Su Qianqian’s attitude toward the Sixth Prince was so awful!
Previously, hearing gossip, saying Su Qianqian was a strong-headed woman, Su Changyuan thought she was just a bit spoiled, thinking the couple could strictly discipline her at ho.
But Su Qianqian dared to speak harshly to Zhao Yi right in front of them!
How dare she?
He’s a prince!
Insulting a prince is a capital offense for deceiving the monarch!
If this got out, no amount of heads in the Su family would be enough!
Su Changyuan knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to Huang Ying: "Miss Huang Ying, it’s my failure in discipline that let this unfilial daughter speak such outrageous words! Please, considering her youth and ignorance, spare her this once!"
Though Madam Su wasn’t of noble birth, she was from a bureaucratic family, having so experience over the years.
Seeing her husband kneel, she hurriedly knelt behind him, her face pale as she kowtowed to Huang Ying, begging for rcy!
Su Qianqian was dumbfounded!
Zhao Yi had never acted like a prince in front of her, so she didn’t know what being a prince truly represented.
At this mont, seeing her parents kneeling, begging a maid for rcy, Su Qianqian’s face flushed, feeling utterly humiliated!
Su Qianqian stepped forward to pull Su Changyuan and Madam Su up.
With a livid face, she said: "Father, Mother, what are you doing? Why are you kowtowing to this despicable maid, get up!"
Su Changyuan shook off Su Qianqian’s hand, sternly scolding: "Unfilial daughter, kneel!"
Su Qianqian remained fearless, glaring at Huang Ying: "I am the future Imperial Consort of the Sixth Prince! A re despicable maid dares to make kneel? Am I really going to kneel, can she bear it?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying raised an eyebrow: "Before today, you were indeed the future Imperial Consort of the Sixth Prince, but after today, you are not anymore!"
Su Qianqian, hearing this, was montarily stunned and unconsciously asked: "What do you an?"
Then Su Changyuan said from the side: "Miss Huang Ying is here to break off the engagent! The Sixth Prince says you have been unfaithful and are unworthy to marry into the royal family!"
Su Changyuan, seeing Su Qianqian still in a daze, earnestly advised: "Qianqian, is there so misunderstanding, quickly explain clearly to Miss Huang Ying!"
Su Changyuan was unwilling for Zhao Yi to break off the marriage.
Let alone after Zhao Yi breaks the engagent, without the luxurious life, he has no support in the Imperial Court.
Su Qianqian would never have a good life again!
The Great Xia Dynasty, although not overly strict between n and won, had very high standards for a woman’s character!
Unfaithful and impure in character!
Spread with these eight words, Su Qianqian’s life would be ruined.
Even the lowest status broker wouldn’t take her as a wife!
Su Qianqian seed not to hear Su Changyuan’s words.
Her mind was left with just one thought.
Zhao Yi broke off the engagent!
Does that an she has a chance with Master Fajing?
Imdiately.
Su Qianqian decisively said: "I agree to break off the engagent!"
