In the afternoon, Cheng Shi rushed to Jingdou and went to the Imperial City to report.
After learning that Cheng Shi did not go home to visit her at the first moment but went to the Imperial City instead, she was even more certain that she had agreed to the marriage.
After Cheng Shi and the others came out of the Imperial City and returned to the Cheng Manor, they were shocked when they learned about the marriage of Curly Hair!
Xiao Yuanyi was even more furious.
"What exactly is going on? What exactly happened?"
"Why did you decide on the marriage of Curly Hair!”
Cheng Shi was furious. He pointed at Matriarch Cheng to vent his dissatisfaction. Although they were in the army, they had always remembered their daughter, who had never been with them since she was young.
Now that he had just returned, he found out that his daughter was already engaged and was getting married tomorrow. How could he not be angry?
Moreover, the other party was the illegitimate son of the Jia family!
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi were both smart people and knew what the Jia family was. It was a tiger's den and a wolf's den!
"Wuwuwu! My son came back and beat and scolded my mother. I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore!”
Matriarch Cheng immediately acted shamelessly, pretending to have a heart disease as she collapsed to the ground.
Cheng Shi and Cheng Yu were also helpless.
Madam Ge stepped forward and said," Wife Si, Uncle Son-in-law, it was Curly Hair who agreed to it. Now that the Jia family has accepted the betrothal gift, we can't return it, right?"”
Old Lady Cheng also stood up and echoed," That's right. The Jia family has accepted the betrothal gifts. That's a big box of gold, silver, and jewelry. Your mother has never seen so many good treasures in her life!"”
Cheng Shi was so angry that he couldn't speak.
However, he also knew Old Lady Cheng and Madam Ge's character, so he went straight to Curly Hair's house to look for her.
Xiao Yuanyi followed closely behind.
When Curly Hair learned that her parents had returned, she was afraid of being punished and hid under the blanket to pretend to be sick. In the end, Xiao Yuanyi saw through her, causing Xiao Yuanyi to be even angrier.
When it came to marriage, she didn't say a word.
He studied knowledge and didn't know a word.
"Curl Curl! How did you become like this!"
"I originally thought that without my parents by your side, you would be able to grow up properly and understand some reason. In the end, why did you agree to the Jia family's marriage now?”
"Alright, it's a matchmaker's matter and a parent's words. Cheng Shaoshang, why are you so insensible?”
Xiao Yuanyi pointed at her curled nose and cursed, her entire body trembling with anger.
"Sigh!"
Xiao Yuanyi sighed again." Jia Xuan, the bastard son of the Jia family. He's not good at literature or martial arts. He's no different from trash. Curly Hair is going to a fire pit. He has to think of a way!"”
At this moment, Jia Xuan's figure flashed across the mind of the aggrieved and silent curled up girl.
She didn't know where she got the courage to vent all her grievances and said pitifully,"Father, mother, you say that Curly Hair is insensible, but you don't know that Curly Hair hasn't been taught by a teacher for the past fifteen years!”
"You say that Curly Hair is ignorant, but do you know that Curly Hair can't even eat her fill?”
"You said that Curly Hair agreed to the marriage because Curly Hair was unloved! Only by finding a husband can one be loved!"
"You don't know anything, you don't know anything!”
"Curly Hair is starving to death, yet you are still rushing to the Imperial City, still enjoying the joy of triumphant return.”
Cheng Si Niangzi's tears were like a pear blossom in the rain.
Xiao Yuanyi was stunned. She was so angry that she wanted to say something, but she could not open her mouth.
Cheng Shi sighed and tried to smooth things over."The child can still be taught. Let's not talk about this matter for now. The key now is how to cancel the marriage.”
"Curly Curly is going to receive the bride. Father and Mother don't have to worry about breaking off the engagement. Curly Curly won't.”
Cheng Si Niangzi said firmly.
"You!"
Xiao Yuanyi was furious and said hatefully,""Curly, why are you so insensible! Do you know that the Jia Residence is a tiger's den and a wolf's den? It's located at the top of the storm! It doesn't matter if you die, but I'm afraid you'll implicate the Cheng family!”
In reality, Xiao Yuanyi was very smart. She could roughly guess what would happen to the old Emperor if he died in the Jia family.
She was also very concerned about her daughter,
It was just that she was too impatient and too stubborn, so the words she said did not mean that.
When Curly Hair heard that it didn't matter if she died, she was afraid that she would implicate the Cheng family. She was stunned.
Cheng Shi also repeatedly winked at Xiao Yuanyi, indicating that she had gone too far.
Xiao Yuanyi somewhat regretted her slip of the tongue, but her mother's arrogance prevented her from apologizing. She could only stand at the side with a cold face.
A moment later,
Curly Hair squeezed out a smile and said softly,""Mother, he will protect me. He promised me. After he returned from the border, he protected me for the rest of my life.”
Xiao Yuanyi had originally regretted her slip of the tongue, but when she heard this, she became even more furious.
" How can he protect you?!"
"He's just a bastard son of the Jia family! She had been bullied since she was young! If he couldn't become a scholar or a martial artist, what was the difference between him and trash? How can a Jia Xuan like this protect you!”
"When he returns from the border, it's easy to say. Do you know how dangerous it is to guard the border? Even if they were the sons of the four bastards, 90% of them would die guarding the border!”
"He's a weak piece of trash. He'll definitely die. At that time, you'll have to be a widow for him for the rest of your life! The women of the Jia family will bully you for the rest of your life! Even a servant girl or a servant would bully you!”
Xiao Yuanyi angrily explained the pros and cons to Cheng Si Niangzi.
But Cheng Si Niangzi only had one sentence: "Curly Hair believes in him."
In short,
Xiao Yuanyi was so angry that her body went limp and she fainted. Cheng Shi quickly helped Xiao Yuanyi up, and the Cheng family was in a mess.
Curly Hair didn't know what to do and hid under the blanket, crying.
When her parents returned, they blamed her.
He scolded her when he came back.
It was not her fault that she was illiterate and impolite!
She felt wronged too!
In the end,
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi really had no choice but to go to the Imperial City hand in hand, wanting to use their own merits to request the old Emperor to call off the engagement.
In this way, although they had offended the Jia family, with the emperor's face, they could protect the curl and the Cheng family. The Jia family would not be so ruthless in their revenge.
After all,
In their opinion, marrying a bastard son of the Jia family who was about to go to the border was an act that would definitely kill them. Even if they did not die, they would live a miserable life!
In the end,
After the old Emperor heard about this, he did not agree to Cheng Shi and his wife's request. He only replaced Jia Xuan's duty of guarding the border with clearing out bandits, which was nominally safer but was actually thousands of times more dangerous.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking off the engagement,
Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shi could only accept this result.
"Forget it, Yuan Yi, if the Emperor doesn't make the decision, then we can't break off the engagement with the Jia family."
Cheng Shi sighed.
If they took the initiative to break off the engagement, it would be equivalent to embarrassing the Jia family. At that time, the Cheng family would not be able to withstand the Jia family's revenge.
If the Emperor had spoken, the Jia Clan would not have retaliated so crazily. Unfortunately, the Emperor did not agree to their request. He did not even agree to exchange military merits for it.
Xiao Yuanyi had no choice but to say hatefully,""It's better to guard the border than to eliminate bandits!”
The two of them were too smart.
No one expected the old emperor to speak up and replace Jia Xuan's duty of guarding the border with eliminating bandits!
Behind the bandits, there was a person with great influence in the imperial court!
Who would dare to clear it up?
"It's really a good plan for the Emperor to send the Jia family to clean up the bandits raised by the four princes.”
"Shh, the palace."
"Yes."
