Upon hearing that their beloved daughter was ill, Liu Lanqi and his wife Lin dropped all their affairs at home and brought a lot of expensive supplements to visit the patient.

After entering the mansion, they heard Qingshan, who was sent by Liu Tianshu to greet them at the door, say that Liu Tianshu was not really sick, and she asked them to come because Liu Tian'ai and Gu Jinyun had had an affair in the rockery in the mansion.

Hearing Qingshan's words, Lin felt dizzy instantly. Fortunately, the maid behind her supported her in time, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

"Madam, don't worry, the young lady..."

For fear of angering Lin to the point of causing harm, Qingshan wanted to comfort her, but she just waved her hand.

Family disgrace should not be made public. Thinking of her daughter being wronged and having to go to great lengths to conceal it for that ignorant girl, after Lin calmed down, she glared at the dumbfounded Liu Lanqi beside her with a reproachful look.

Both of them are his daughters. When Liu Lanqi heard that his younger daughter and his elder son-in-law had an affair, he was very angry. However, he did not hate his own daughters, but the elder son-in-law who seduced his younger daughter.

"We can't just rely on Qingshan to decide what's going on. Let's go back and ask those two evildoers."

"Master, Madam, Marquis, Madam and the Third Miss are all in the old lady's yard."

Hearing this, the Hou family was alarmed. Liu Lanqi's face changed, but soon returned to normal.

Business was the most important thing, so Lin asked the people around her to send all the supplements and precious medicinal materials she brought to her eldest daughter's courtyard, and asked Qingshan to take her and Liu Lanqi to Hou's courtyard.

After the old marquis passed away, Hou became the most senior person in the marquis's mansion.

After greeting Liu Lanqi and his wife, everyone took their seats as host and guest. Liu Tianshu stood behind Hou, while Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai knelt in front of the three of them.

Looking at the two people kneeling in front of her, Hou said directly: "My dear relatives, the two children are ignorant and have done something beyond the rules. The third young lady is a girl from your family. Please give us your advice on how to solve this matter."

"Mother-in-law, you are too polite. I will take this unfilial daughter home right now and she will never appear in your house again..."

"I do not want……"

When she heard that she was going to be taken back to the Liu family, Liu Tianyi interrupted Liu Lanqi anxiously before he could finish his words: "Dad, I am already the Marquis's woman. I will never marry anyone else in this life..."

"Snapped……"

Liu Lanqi slapped Liu Tian'er hard.

"You are such a disgrace. You have no place to speak here."

"father……"

This was the first time that Liu Tian'ai was slapped in the face since she was a child. She stared at Liu Lanqi in disbelief.

The hurt look in his daughter's eyes made Liu Lanqi's heart soften for a moment, but he quickly looked away.

"Mother-in-law, my daughter of the Liu family has done something that is disgraceful to our family. It is my fault for not disciplining her properly. I will have her taken back now..."

When Gu Jinyun heard that Liu Lanqi was going to take Liu Tian'ai away, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Father-in-law, all the mistakes are my fault. I am willing to treat you as my equal..."

"no!"

Three female voices, Hou, Lin and Liu Tianshu, sounded at the same time.

Hou frowned and said, "My Lord, the Marquis's Mansion is still in mourning, so we can't hold a wedding banquet. Moreover, our dynasty practices monogamy, and I've never heard of any noble family taking a concubine."

Gu Jinyun knew that his request was a bit excessive, but for the sake of his beloved, he still plucked up the courage to say, "Mother, the Marquis's residence will be in mourning in two months, and my third sister is also the daughter of the Liu family. We can't..."

Hearing her son-in-law pleading for another woman, Lin was furious, but she knew that now was not the time to be angry.

"My Lord, the girl has a marriage contract, and the wedding date is set for two months later."

Gu Jinyun naturally knew about Liu Tian'ai's engagement, but he deliberately ignored it.

Hearing Lin's words, he said shamelessly, "Please ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to the Chang family to cancel the engagement..."

Before Gu Jinyun could finish his words, Lin was so angry that she almost slapped him twice. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, which prevented her from actually hitting him.

"Master, what do you think about this matter?"

Facing Lin's obviously unfriendly gaze, Liu Lanqi had to speak.

"My Lord, my Liu family is a well-known family in the capital, and the third girl's husband's family is not an ordinary family either. How can you cancel the engagement without a clear reason?"

"Father-in-law, my third sister and I are already together, and she must not marry anyone else."

"Are you threatening us?"

Lin said this angrily and looked at Liu Lanqi.

"Master, the capital is not a big city, but it is not a small city either. No matter what reason we use to cancel the engagement, the Chang family will know about the girl's marriage to the Marquis' Mansion sooner or later. By then, it will not be just a marriage between two families. Are you overthinking about this enemy, the Chang family..."
