Chapter 220 The Bridal Sedan Arrives

Ling Mao glanced at his eldest granddaughter and said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to get married and insist on breaking off the engagement, I hope you won't regret it in the future. You should know that without this marriage, you can only marry an ordinary family like us in the future."

Although he said so, Ling Mao would not really let his eldest granddaughter marry an ordinary family.

He said this just to warn her.

In case she is not satisfied with the marriage in the future, she will break off the engagement again.

Not only will Ling Mao not marry Ling Chu to an ordinary family, even for his other granddaughters, he will not agree to let them marry those ordinary people.

Even if it is not for himself, he has to plan for other descendants.

He can't let the Ling Mansion fall into decline.

"Zong'er, you and Dong go together to invite a matchmaker to go to the Zhaoguogong Mansion to cancel the marriage."

"Yes, Dad."

As the head of the family, the father-in-law has spoken, and Dong can only nod no matter how reluctant she is.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go with you."

The old lady glared at him with dissatisfaction, "Nonsense, you are a girl, this is not something you should get involved in. Your parents can handle the cancellation of the engagement, you can stay in the mansion and learn the music, chess, calligraphy and painting as well as the rules and etiquette, so as to avoid being said by outsiders that the girls of my Ling Mansion have no rules."

Seeing that the old lady disagreed, Ling Chu did not insist.

Originally, she wanted to go with her and see the marriage canceled with her own eyes.

But since she was not allowed to go, forget it.

Ling Chu did not want to cause any more trouble. As long as the marriage could be canceled, it didn't matter whether she went or not. Anyway, she didn't want to see that disgusting Zhao Jingming again.

After the meal, Ling Chu went back to her yard to rest.

Ling Mao took his eldest son to the study to talk, while Dong went back to her yard to find the token given by the wife of the Duke of Zhao.

When Ling Zong returned to his yard from the study and prepared to go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion with Dong to cancel the engagement, he found that Dong was nowhere to be seen.

He had no choice but to call the maidservant in the yard over, "Where is the lady? Do you know where she is?"

"My Lord, the lady said that she is busy in the mansion, and she can go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion by herself."

Ling Zong frowned. The so-called engagement is the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. According to etiquette, whether it is an engagement or a breakup, both parents and the matchmaker should be present.

At the beginning, his wife had arranged an engagement for her eldest daughter without telling him, and now she left him alone to break the engagement.

Ling Zong was a little dissatisfied.

But although he was angry, he knew that it was useless to get angry now.

Ling Zong got up from the armchair and was about to leave the mansion to go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion, but the servant hurriedly came to report that there were some problems with the construction of the ancestral hall.

The construction of this ancestral hall was at a critical moment, and Ling Zong did not dare to neglect it.

Hurry and follow the servant to the ancestral hall.

When he finally finished dealing with the affairs of the ancestral hall and wanted to rush to the Duke of Zhao's mansion, he didn't expect to see Dong just got off the carriage when he left the mansion.

"Why didn't you wait for me and went to the Duke of Zhao's mansion alone?"

Mrs. Dong looked at him and walked into the mansion, saying calmly, "I saw that you were busy. It's not a good thing to break off the engagement. I can just go and deal with it alone.

There are many things to do in the mansion. Besides, the construction of the ancestral hall is at a critical moment. If you leave, there will be something that needs your attention."

As his father is old, as the eldest son, Ling Zong also knows that the construction of the ancestral hall cannot be separated from him.

No matter how busy he is, the eldest daughter's affairs should not be ignored.

But now that his wife is back, there is no point in worrying about it.

Although he didn't go, it was the eldest daughter's business after all, so Ling Zong still asked with concern, "Is the matter settled?"

Mrs. Dong paused for a moment, and soon continued to walk in, while gently humming.

Ling Zong originally wanted to ask if the matter went smoothly, but seeing that Mrs. Dong looked tired, he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Ling Chu returned to the courtyard to rest for a while, then took out the yellow paper and cinnabar and started making talismans.

You must concentrate when making talismans, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.

This busyness made an hour pass unknowingly.

Ling Chu was very tired.

After putting away the talisman paper, having some snacks and tea, she planned to sleep for a while before getting up for dinner.

Perhaps because she knew that the engagement was finally going to be cancelled, she let go of something in her heart, and she slept very deeply.

Until dusk fell, she didn't see her get up, so Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju went to call her.

But after calling several times, seeing that Ling Chu was still asleep, the two maids couldn't bear to wake her up again, so they simply let her have a good sleep.

Ling Chu slept until the next morning.

It's rare to sleep for such a long time, and her complexion looks good.

After washing up, she planned to go to the main hall to have breakfast.

Normally, she would have solved it by herself in the courtyard.

She didn't want to go to the main hall and have an affair with everyone.

But today, she wanted to ask about the cancellation of the engagement. Although she knew that her parents had canceled the engagement yesterday, she still wanted to hear the result with her own ears.

Everyone was in the flower hall. After Ling Chu greeted her, she didn't waste any words and asked Dong directly, "Mom, is the engagement canceled?"

Dong paused while drinking tea, raised her eyes and said coldly, "Since you have repeatedly made a fuss about not wanting to be the prince's consort of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, then it will be as you wish. I just hope you don't regret it."

Ling Chu glanced at her mother, but didn't say anything.

Since the engagement had been canceled, she didn't fight back.

Even if all the men in the world died, she would not regret it.

Zhao Jingming is so disgusting, let alone he is just a prince, even if he is the emperor, she doesn't want to marry him.

Ling Chu's marriage is over, some people gloat over it, some people feel sorry.

However, Ling Shangshu and Madam Tai didn't say anything, so the others didn't say anything either.

The breakfast was finished quietly, and everyone was rinsing their mouths.

Ling Chu was going to have a drink, and after all the courtesy, she would go back to her own yard, but suddenly she heard a faint sound of festive suona.

Ling Chu was surprised, which family was getting married so early in the morning?

Not only was she surprised, but others were also talking about it, only Dong lowered her eyes and drank tea without saying anything.

Listening to the suona sound getting closer and closer, it seemed that the noise was still from the people nearby.

Getting married is a big happy event, Ling Chu plans to go and see the excitement, take the opportunity to get a taste of the joy, which is also good for her body.

Just as they were about to say goodbye and leave, the old woman guarding the gate suddenly rushed in quickly, stammering and shouting, "Hua... Hua... The bridal sedan is coming."

Everyone paused while drinking tea, and turned their heads to stare at the old woman in confusion.

Is this old woman hysterical? There is no wedding in their house, so how could there be a bridal sedan coming to their house?

Ling Mao frowned and looked unhappy. The servants hired from outside were really not as good as those in the Shangshu Mansion before.

Seeing that no one spoke, the lady had to speak, "What Hua Jiao?"

"It's... the bridal sedan for the wedding." The old woman guarding the gate didn't know whether she was too surprised to see the bridal sedan, or she was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly when she saw so many people looking at her.
