Facing Hou's threats, Madam Chang sneered, "Your daughter hasn't even entered the family yet, but she's already come to her husband's house to ruin my reputation. With what your daughter did today, no one would want a daughter-in-law like her. My master has already gone to the palace to ask the emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage."

"what?"

Gu Jinqing was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Her fiancé wanted to take a concubine before marrying her, and Gu Jinqing always felt that she was the victim, so she wanted to come to the Chang family to ask for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not apologize for this, but also directly cancelled his marriage.

At this moment, Gu Jinqing was completely confused.

"Mom, I don't want to cancel the engagement, I..."

Seeing her daughter's helpless look, Hou really wanted to say, "You are anxious now, what were you doing before?"

But her daughter's appearance was so pitiful that Hou couldn't say a word of blame.

"Mother-in-law, the purpose of the engagement between the two families is to unite the two families. Aren't you going too far? And the Emperor has not agreed to cancel the engagement."

"Given the importance the Emperor places on our Chang family, this marriage can be called off soon. We dare not accept a daughter like you who doesn't know the rules, can't manage a household, and has been repeatedly punished by the Queen Mother."

After Madam Chang finished speaking, she said to the servants around her in a cold voice, "Close the door and send the guests away."

After saying that, Mrs. Chang walked into the Chang family’s gate without looking back.

"Yes!"

As Madam Chang gave the order, the servants slowly closed the door.

Hou wanted to rush in anxiously, but she could only watch the door close quickly.

"Old Marquis, why did you leave like this, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, to be bullied like this..."

No matter what kind of character the current Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is, the old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was a hero who died on the battlefield.

Now, only three years after his death, his widow and daughter have been bullied like this. Everyone is sighing, but ordinary people dare not offend officials. The future promotion of officials will depend on the mood of Lord Chang. Even if some people sympathize with Hou and Gu Jinqing, no one dares to stand up for them.

Listening to Hou's cries, everyone left with a sigh. At the same time, many people saw clearly the character of the Chang family and felt ashamed of such a family.

As the number of people watching the excitement decreased, Liu Tianshu, who had been sitting in a carriage outside the crowd and watched the entire excitement, got off the carriage.

"Madam, even if you cry here, the Chang family will not be soft-hearted. You want to seek justice for Sister Qing..."

Before Liu Tianshu finished her words, Gu Jinqing said bluntly: "What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, my father's death, how could my family be looked down upon, and I wouldn't be in such a humiliated situation today..."

Having been prepared for this day for a long time, Liu Tianshu interrupted Gu Jinqing in a cold voice.

"Qing Jie'er, what do you mean by this? What do you mean I will kill my father-in-law?"

Facing Liu Tianshu's questioning, Gu Jinqing said bluntly: "It's you, this ominous woman. Otherwise, how come the news of my father's murder came to me as soon as you entered the border?"

The crime of killing her father-in-law is a serious one, and Liu Tianshu would not bear it.

"Qing Jie'er, although you have never left the capital, you should know that the capital is thousands of miles away from the border. When my father-in-law got into trouble, I had not yet married into the Marquis's Mansion. I was just a messenger, and the news was not passed on until the day I entered the Houfu.

Sister Qing, I don't know who told you these things, nor do I know where these rumors came from. I only know that anyone with a brain would not believe such nonsense. "

"You can't provide evidence to prove that my father's death had nothing to do with you, so you are his murderer." Gu Jinqing argued speciously.

"you……"

Since Gu Jinqing was so unreasonable, Liu Tianshu also got angry.

"Qing Jie'er, since you look upon me as your sister-in-law in this way, from now on, I will no longer be involved in your affairs."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu called Hong'er over, asked her to help her get into the carriage, and left directly.

"Girl, who told you to say these things?"

Seeing Liu Tianshu get on the carriage and leave, Hou said anxiously: "Don't you know how much the Queen Mother likes your sister-in-law now? Just now, I was thinking of asking her to go to the palace and say a few good words to the Queen Mother to save your marriage. Now you have offended her. Let's see what you will do in the future..."

"Mother, isn't it just an audience with the Queen Mother? Should I go back and beg my elder brother right now? I don't believe that my elder brother's reputation is not as good as her Liu Tianshu's."

After Gu Jinqing finished speaking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one, and he quickly pulled Hou towards the carriage.

Her marriage with the second son of the Chang family was arranged by the Empress Dowager. As long as they can convince the Empress Dowager, the Emperor cannot ask them to cancel the engagement.

Gu Jinqing is now only thinking about how to save her marriage. She never thought that if the Chang family treats her like this before they even get married, what good will happen after the marriage?
