"Why did it have to come to this? Why did it have to come to this!" This was the anxious voice of Madam Li. "My dear in-laws, my son was indeed confused today. I will scold him now. Please give him a chance to admit his mistake and correct it, for the sake of my late father-in-law."

"Besides, if this marriage is called off, do you think your family will not care about Chunxi's reputation? A young lady's reputation is especially important. If the annulment of the engagement affects Chunxi's reputation, is that something you want to see?"

"Bah! I'd rather cut my hair and become a nun than marry into a den of wolves like your Ningxin Marquis's mansion," Jiang Chunxi said, her face flushed with anger. "If you dare to humiliate me on my wedding day, I'd probably die soon if I really married into the Ningxin Marquis's mansion."

"Chunxi, how could you say that?" Li Renhuai said, looking hurt. "We were betrothed since childhood and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. You know how I feel about you!"

"So how could you..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Chunxi interrupted Li Renhuai. "So, your so-called feelings for me are just about making me your concubine? Is this what you call having feelings for me, or do you have some deep-seated hatred for me?!"

"You still say we grew up together as childhood sweethearts? We only see each other a few times a year. And even when we do meet, there are a whole bunch of maids and servants waiting on us," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "So if you insist on talking about childhood sweetheart feelings, then it should be your cousin who has that kind of childhood sweetheart feeling with you."

"Perhaps what that lady said earlier was right. What life-saving grace? It was all just a play staged by your Ningxin Marquis's mansion. Your cousin is not dead at all. The reason why your Ningxin Marquis's mansion is humiliating me like this today is simply because you, Li Renhuai, want to give your beloved cousin the position of the principal wife."

“Let me tell you, Li Renhuai, I, Jiang Chunxi, will remember this grudge. If you dare to bully me, Jiang Chunxi, and my Jiang family, then your Ningxin Marquis’s Mansion should be prepared for my Jiang family’s revenge.”

“Well said,” came the voice of Grand Tutor Jiang. “My Jiang family can afford to raise a girl. Even if my granddaughter’s reputation is ruined and she can’t get married, my Jiang family can still support her for life. It is your Ningxin Marquis’s mansion that dares to bully and scheme against my granddaughter like this. I swear I will make the Emperor seek justice for my Jiang family.”

"Lord Ningxin, we'll see." As soon as he finished speaking, the Jiang family left with Jiang Chunxi.

Li's mother wanted to stop her, but the question was, could she really stop her? She was so anxious she was about to jump up and down, and she was about to cry.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have agreed to her son's absurd idea.

Her niece grew up by her side since she was a child, and it could be said that she was no different from her own daughter. Of course, she was very happy that her niece could marry her son. However, since her son was already married, her niece could only marry her son as a concubine.

This made Li's mother very upset, but she also knew that her son's marriage to Jiang Chunxi could not be called off. Not to mention that the marriage was arranged by her late father-in-law, Li's mother was unwilling to let her son lose this marriage because of the Jiang family's background.

Therefore, when her son proposed that absurd idea, Li's mother was deeply moved. If she could make her niece her son's legal wife and not lose the alliance with the main branch of the Jiang family, what reason did she have to disagree?

As for the vengeful father…

At first, Li's father disagreed, but he couldn't resist the strong influence of his wife's pillow talk, so he eventually gave in to his son's absurd idea.
