The God of War is killing like crazy

Chapter 114 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 11

The original owner had liked Chu Zisu since childhood. Lord Zhao originally thought that he had chosen a perfect match for his daughter, and that the other party was one of the best in the capital in terms of appearance and knowledge.

Lord Zhao was extremely satisfied, but he did not expect that the situation would turn out like this. The good official he had his eyes on turned out to be a scumbag who was two-faced. Lord Zhao had to admit that even he, a veteran in the officialdom for many years, could make mistakes.

After Chu Zisui took Wei Lanxue as his concubine, he tried to persuade his silly daughter in various ways, but she remained unmoved. She even treated the Princess Consort warmly when she came and happily accepted her gifts.

Lord Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His wife had been away from home for a long time to recuperate, and he had been taking care of his daughter all these years. If he really watched his daughter jump into the fire pit of the Prince's Mansion, his already sick wife would surely be mad to death. However, he did not dare to say anything to the original owner.

Lord Zhao and his wife, because of their debt to the original owner since childhood, have never said a harsh word to the original owner.

After Chu Zisu broke off the engagement with the original owner in the previous life, Lord Zhao regretted arranging a marriage for the original owner and betraying his own daughter. So later, when the prince and princess sincerely told him that they wanted the original owner to be engaged to their youngest son, he hesitated and finally agreed.

He could see that the Princess of the County really wanted her daughter to be her daughter-in-law. With the approval of her mother-in-law, he believed that the original owner would definitely not be bullied in her husband's family. Moreover, the original owner had been rejected once, and it would be impossible for her to find a family as well-matched as the Prince of the County's Mansion. Lord Zhao was also reluctant to let his daughter marry down and suffer humiliation in the future because of her husband's family.

However, in his previous life, he had never expected that the Prince's family would be so cold-blooded and heartless. However, in this life, he gradually saw through this family.

Now that Si Ying said she wanted to cancel the engagement, Lord Zhao couldn't wait any longer. He quickly wrote a document and rushed to the Prince's Mansion with the token of engagement.

Before leaving, Si Ying kindly sent the housekeeper to hint to Lord Zhao that Chu Zisu's health had deteriorated and he would not be able to have children in the future. Wei Lanxue and Sun Yuerong, who were pregnant at the same time, became the fatal points for the prince and his wife.

Lord Zhao had no time to think about where his daughter had found out all this. Now that so many messes had happened in the Prince's Mansion, it would be difficult to cancel the marriage. Now that he knew the evidence, he was sure he could cancel the marriage.

Lord Zhao went there in a hurry. He went there in the morning and canceled the engagement in the afternoon.

The engagement was cancelled on the same day, which was extremely fast. On the way back home, Lord Zhao even made a big announcement that his daughter's engagement with the Prince's Mansion had been cancelled, and she was now about to reach the age of marriage and was waiting to be married.

In fact, he acted very happy, but when he was in the Prince's Mansion, he was also shocked by the strange behavior of that family.

He hurried to the Prince's Mansion and tactfully proposed to cancel the engagement, but the Prince refused to let him speak and pretended not to understand. He kept talking to him about random things and even told him about their friendship when they were young. They talked about everything except breaking off the engagement.

The princess standing by was crying and complaining about how pitiful her son was, and then praising the original owner as a good child and a good daughter-in-law to her.

In the end, Lord Zhao was so angry that he directly said he wanted to cancel the engagement. He put the token and documents on the table with a firm attitude.

Seeing that they could no longer pretend, the prince and his wife had no choice but to persuade Lord Zhao, saying how well-matched the two children were and how good their eldest son was.

At this time, they were already at the center of controversy and had a very bad reputation. How could a daughter of a high-ranking official who had been carefully trained be willing to marry Chu Zisu? If nothing had happened before, they would have immediately agreed to cancel the engagement when Lord Zhao came to their house. Their son Su'er was so outstanding, and there were many ladies from noble families in the capital who wanted to marry into their prince's mansion.

But now it's different. Chu Zisu had an affair with someone before he married a wife, and brought a concubine into the house. Then he did something shameful at a banquet in the imperial palace, and was watched by everyone. With such a bad reputation, how could anyone be stupid enough to push their daughter into this fire pit?

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to marry their daughter off except for minor officials who wanted to climb the ladder by selling their daughter or powerful ministers? Therefore, if the Prince's Mansion canceled the marriage with the Zhao Mansion, it would be impossible to find a presentable lady from a noble family to be their daughter-in-law.

So they pestered Lord Zhao for a long time, and even mocked him for being merciless and taking advantage of his misfortune.

The Princess Royal insisted that her son liked Zhao Yushu.

Lord Zhao: So he had already brought two women into the palace before his own daughter even got married? Is this called love?

Princess of the county:......

Chu Zisu happened to come into the main hall at this time. After knowing that Lord Zhao came to cancel the engagement, his first reaction was that he couldn't cancel it. Although he didn't like Zhao Yushu, he had to have someone like Zhao Yushu to support the family as a legitimate wife.

Although he now has two women in the backyard, he doesn't like Sun Yuerong at all, and Wei Lanxue has a bad reputation and cannot become the legal wife of him, the future prince.

So even though he looked down on the original owner, Zhao Yushu, he needed Zhao Yushu to marry him to maintain his reputation.

How shameless.

Lord Zhao saw that it was already afternoon and didn't want to continue wasting time with this shameless and weird family. He said directly that he could not cancel the engagement and immediately gave the two women in the backyard abortion drugs. How could he have a bastard son before his daughter and the wife got married?

The Prince's family naturally refused to agree after hearing this, and they naturally did not tell anyone about Chu Zisu's situation. So they were the only ones who knew that those two might be Chu Zisu's only descendants, so how could they abort them?

In the end, no matter what they said, Lord Zhao had only one thing to say: if they wanted to keep the illegitimate son, they had to cancel the engagement.

Finally, the Prince's Mansion had no choice but to agree to cancel the engagement. After all, the two children in the belly were their most important life.

Lord Zhao promoted the news along the way, and then went home with satisfaction to tell his daughter the good news.

After Si Ying found out, she sent people to publicize the shameless behavior of the Prince's family.

The prince and princess just reacted and wanted to find someone to slander the Zhao family to ruin the original owner's reputation and make the Zhao family dare to break off the engagement with them, to see if Zhao Yushu would be able to get married in the future.

Then, they discovered that the Zhao Mansion had spread their despicable deeds throughout the city, and their reputation as a prince's mansion was as bad as the stinking ditch on the outskirts of the city. No matter how much they slandered the Zhao Mansion and defamed the original owner, no one would believe them.

The prince and his wife were so angry that they felt like vomiting blood, and they cursed the Zhao family for several days at home.

Then they turned to comfort their eldest son whose engagement was broken off, gave him many benefits, and sent all the good things in the house to his room.

They were so focused on their eldest son and the two pregnant women that they didn't notice their youngest son's increasingly sinister expression.
