"My grandmother said that according to the lady of your house, she is not willing to offend the queen for me; my mother must break off the engagement, even if she keeps raising me, she will break off the engagement!" Luo Xiaowan thought of his mother. I couldn't hold back my tears when I was forced to kneel by my grandmother. If it wasn't for me, how could my mother have been punished by her grandmother for two hours?

"Mrs. Yang Quhou is obviously afraid of punishment from the Empress, but in fact that family has almost nothing to do with the Empress. She just said it so casually back then. I'm afraid the Empress can't even remember this family now, so why bother? If you say anything in front of the Queen, just break off the engagement!"

Zhang Qilan said angrily

Mrs. Yangquhou is useless, and the wife of the Xingguohou Mansion is shrewd and unwilling to take on this responsibility. Even after dragging it on for so many years, the marriage has not been cancelled, and now that family has come to her door. .

"That is to say, if that family didn't have the guidance of our lady, they wouldn't be able to see the queen?" Shao Wanru asked with his watery eyes raised.

"Yes, it is indeed like this. That family is not a rich and noble family, but an ordinary family. Moreover, they left Beijing early. They are not as good as the appearance of Yangquhou Mansion. It was also because of that family in the first place. It’s not as good as the Yangquhou Mansion, but Madam Shizi thinks it’s pretty good, so she agreed!”

Zhang Qilan said that she had a good relationship with Luo Xiaowan when she was young. Luo Xiaowan had not appeared in public for several years. She had also visited her in private and knew a lot about the affairs of the Yangquhou Mansion.

He also became more and more angry for Luo Xiaowan!

Luo Xiaowan's character is that of a coward. It's okay for Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi to protect her. If she marries to another high-ranking family, I'm afraid it won't be good. It's better to marry to a lower level so that her own family can take better care of her. This is also Yang Qu's wife. The original intention of Mrs. Quhou Shizi.

I just didn't expect that although that family was not as good as the Yangquhou Mansion, it still had some connections with the Empress. The Empress even mentioned that there was a marriage arranged by Mrs. Xingguohou. .

"That means that as long as the madam in our palace agrees, we can let her help arrange the marriage, and the queen will not be alarmed?"

Shao Wanru has roughly figured out the whole story.

"That's true, but how can your wife, who is such a shrewd person, be willing to do such a thing? Madam Yangquhou Shizi has come to your door several times. Your wife is either pretending to be sick, or she is just a little nervous. After meeting him once, he hurriedly said that he had something to do and left, and after repeated excuses, he never took back the gift he gave me!"

Zhang Qilan sneered and said, "As people grow older, they will become wiser. If you don't see any benefit, you won't let go."

This thing doesn't sound difficult. A descendant of a down-and-out aristocratic family, even if he has done nothing wrong, can withdraw from a house like Yangquhou Mansion for any reason.

But it also involves the Empress, so it's not that simple. It's not that the Empress is very fond of this family, but it's because the Empress has lost her face.

No matter what, this matter was brought up by the Queen, and it represents the Queen's wishes. It's okay if the Queen doesn't know about these things. If she knows, she will be charged with deception.

Although the Queen is not the Emperor, the crime is serious or minor! Mrs. Yang Quhou clearly meant that she would rather give up a granddaughter than offend the Queen. As for the Tai Madam, of course it had nothing to do with her. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care. Maybe I went there for Luo Xiaowan and offended the Queen.

.

Even if the Queen doesn't know it now, it's possible she will know it later.

"Which family's son is in Beijing now?" Shao Wanru asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, I brought several wives and maids with me and said that I wanted to marry Xiaowan, but I didn't even try to see if he was worthy." Zhang Qilan curled her lips and said, she really didn't like this family. She had secretly said so before. I asked my eldest brother to check it out, and found out that that person was not a good person. After entering Beijing, he went to Huajieliuxiang.

I have been going to places like this when I have free time these days.

"After making this big deal, break off the engagement!" Shao Wanru already had an idea in mind and said with a slight smile.

"Is it really a big deal?" Luo Xiaowan said with an excited expression, "Is it really true that the big boy broke off the engagement?"

She really didn't want to marry such a person, and she didn't want her mother to suffer greater injustice for her. If Zhang Qilan hadn't pulled her over today, she wouldn't have been able to come over originally.

"Sister Xiaowan, are you afraid of losing your reputation?" Shao Wanru asked.

Zhang Qilan hesitated and her eyes flickered twice. She, who was originally the most talkative, fell silent at this time.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of anything. Mother said that even if she raised me, she would not marry her to a family like that." Luo Xiaowan said with rare firmness.

She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and tried to cheer herself up. She would not retreat no matter what. Her mother was punished again and again by her grandmother for her marriage, but she still endured it. There was nothing she couldn't bear.

So what if you never marry for the rest of your life, my mother said, it would be better to never marry for the rest of your life than to marry such a person.

With Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi's words behind her, Luo Xiaowan was very determined.

"Princess Chen, what can you do?" Zhang Qilan asked, "Should they take the initiative to break off the engagement, or are they forced to break off the engagement?"

This kind of withdrawal of engagement is also the least harmful to the woman. In fact, no matter what kind of withdrawal, it will always hurt the woman. The world is not so tolerant to women. Even if it is obviously the man's fault, people will still talk about it. woman.

"Let's go take a look first!" Shao Wanru thought for a while and stood up.

"Okay, let's go now. Brother just told me that that person is somewhere!" Zhang Qilan also pulled Luo Xiaowan to stand up.

Luo Xiaowan bit her lip and nodded.

The tavern is not big, nor is it located at the busiest street, but I have heard many people mention it. It is quite famous in the capital, and some people have gone around a few corners to come to this tavern.

On the one hand, it's because the wine in this pub is really good, but on the other hand, it's also good for not being on the street.

If you invite a few prostitutes to hang out together, you might as well not go to a tavern on the street to avoid being seen. After all, it is not beautiful.

There are many dandies in the capital, but most of them don't want others to see them visiting brothels.

Or if the family already has a wife, or if the family is strict, for various reasons, it is better to avoid it.

Of course, this avoidance point is also relative, it is just the brightest place to avoid. This tavern is not a secret place in Beijing.

After Liu Xincheng arrived in the capital, this place was the place he visited most.

Their family was originally from the capital. Later, after they were released from the capital, they never had the chance to return to the capital. But even so, Liu Xincheng still came to the capital from time to time, and he was also interested in some romantic places in the capital.

Even though we are familiar with each other, we have a few good friends together.

Now in Beijing, there are no elders to pressure me. I can have fun as I want, and I am very happy. I have a few brothel girls to drink and sing every day, which is also a lot of fun.

In fact, Liu Xincheng doesn't want to get married at all. He also doesn't want to marry the skinny little Miss Luo three years ago. He really doesn't like such a girl who doesn't seem to have much growth. It's better for him to be in the party Of those sweethearts in there, one of them has a voluptuous figure and is painful to look at.

The Yangquhou Mansion has been delayed for three years, but he is not in a hurry. This is better. Without his wife in the house, he can find any kind of woman he wants to play with. He can also bring the woman he likes back to the house from time to time. If he likes it, Just play with it more and give it away if you don’t like it.

Such leisurely days are no longer possible. When his father went out, he made it clear to him that if the marriage in the Yangquhou Mansion was not completed this time, he would have to be carefully controlled from now on, and he would not be allowed to marry again. Just as lively and debauched as before.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xincheng entered the capital without saying a word. He thought that if he entered the capital and said a few nice words, the marriage would be settled by the Yangquhou Mansion. Unexpectedly, there was no sound from the Yangquhou Mansion. .

Originally, he didn't really want to marry, but with his father's words and the obvious attitude of the Yangquhou Mansion, Liu Xincheng was not happy.

Even if she doesn’t want to get married, it’s still her, so why should a little girl look down on herself?

Liu Xincheng was very unhappy. At this time, he was holding a charming woman in his arms, drank the wine in one gulp, then put it down heavily, and cursed: "You don't even look at what you are like, how dare you pick something?" After all, if I don’t marry her, who else will marry such a dry woman in the future!”

"That's not what I'm saying. If it weren't for the previous engagement, Brother Liu would have married the beautiful girl long ago. How could the Yangquhou Mansion get an advantage? I heard that the man in their house is an unbearable man. Not to mention she’s not very good looking, and she’s said to be timid, how can such a woman be the wife of a house!”

Someone flattered him.

The person Liu Xincheng hired was the one who provided the money. Naturally, he was the uncle. He would be the one to talk to him if he had anything to say.

"If the Empress hadn't proposed marriage for us before, I would have fallen in love with her!" Liu Xincheng is a young man with oily hair and a pink face. He is pretty good-looking, but his eyes are blue and his face is pale. You can tell at a glance that he is a drunkard. He is not a good person no matter how you look at it!

This club slapped the back table hard, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

"Master, why do you like her? Wouldn't it be better to like a concubine?" The woman sitting in his arms said with a sweet smile, leaning her soft body over her.

"Of course I'm attracted to you. How could I be attracted to her? There's nothing good about her. It's as sweet as a beauty!" After saying that, he came over and kissed the corner of the beauty's mouth. He was not slow and gentle. Caressing the delicate body of the beauty.

"Master, I hate it!" the woman said softly, reaching out to push him, but then hooking him over. The two of them were teasing and making out in front of everyone, and everyone around them cheered loudly!

In the private room next door, Luo Xiaowan's face was as pale as snow, her hands were pressed tightly on the corner of the table, and her teeth were biting her lower lip in shame and anger. Even though she was a coward, she couldn't bear this tone and actually gave up her engagement. The object of ridicule is treated as such a woman, and she is so reckless, how can she be a good match.
