Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

When Old Man Chu saw that the second family had arrived, he coughed and said:

"Second brother, my nephew Lin is coming to our house today to talk about Qinghe and Mingze's marriage. You all should come and listen."

After saying this, Mr. Lin stood up, bowed to Old Man Chu and everyone else, and said:

"I really have no choice but to bother you today. A few days ago, a traveling monk passed by my house and said that my son will be married twice in his life. Otherwise, he will have no hope of passing the imperial examination, his family will not be prosperous, and his family will not be at peace.

My wife showed Qinghe and Mingze’s horoscopes to the old monk. As expected, the monk said that a girl with the surname Chu is not suitable for my son…

Alas, I only have one son at home, so I have no choice but to come here to cancel the engagement. Please forgive me!"

This is almost like saying that Qinghe is unlucky and will bring bad luck to her husband's family.

"This marriage was proposed by your Lin family. At that time, we asked the abbot of Huaqing Temple to look at it and he said it was a perfect match. Brother Lin, have you forgotten?"

Chu Lao Er asked excitedly.

If the original owner hadn’t seen Lin Mingze and Chu Qingmei having a tryst, then that would have been fine.

But two months ago, when Chu Qinghe was on her way back from collecting pig grass in the mountains, she saw the two of them being affectionate with each other halfway up the mountain.

The original owner was too cowardly to ask directly. When he asked Chu Qingmei at night, she categorically denied that Qinghe had seen it wrong.

Lin Mingze came to deliver a message, saying that Chu Qingran asked him to bring something, but when he accidentally almost fell, he was helped up, and the original owner foolishly believed it.

As for this marriage, it was when Mr. Lin was penniless and had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. He was chased by a wild boar and accidentally fell off a cliff.

Fortunately, the cliff was not very high, and after falling down, he was rescued by Chu Laoer, who also killed the wild boar and gave it to Lin Xiucai, which solved the urgent problem.

The life-saving and support made the two families gradually familiar with each other. It just so happened that Qinghe from the Chu family and Lin Mingze from the Lin family were of similar age.

Mr. Lin had just proposed to Mr. Chu to marry Chu Qinghe for Lin Mingze. After comparing their horoscopes, they said it was a perfect match. The Lin family was overjoyed and said they would treat the couple like their own daughter, so the marriage was arranged.

Although the Lin family had scholars and educated people, they had no way to make money. It was said that a poor scholar was a poor scholar. After the engagement, the Lin family was able to make ends meet with the help of Chu Lao Er.

"Brother Chu, I can't help it. Please forgive me!"

Mr. Lin looked helpless and said apologetically with his hands clasped.

"It is your Lin family who made the engagement, and it is also your Lin family who cancelled the engagement.

It seems like this benefit belongs to your family. Our family has been rejected from the engagement, so how can we get engaged in the future? "

Qin said anxiously when she heard that the engagement was going to be cancelled.

"The breaking off of an engagement is all God's will. My master and son are scholars, and your family is just peasants. Marrying into my family is already a step above your status.

What's more, Mr. Chu is now paralyzed in bed, which makes him even less worthy. "

Shen squinted her eyes and spoke sarcastically.

"It seems like it's because of my father's illness?" Chu Qinghe smiled contemptuously.

"Could it be that you want our family to support your parents' family in the future?" Shen was seen through and did not shy away from it.

Chu Qinghe said disdainfully: "It's not impossible to cancel the engagement, but we should still talk it over."

"What are you talking about? Just give us your horoscopes and we'll call it quits. You can just get married."

Shen disagreed.

"Aunt Lin, our two families have been close over the years, and your family has taken a lot of things and borrowed a lot of money from my father, both openly and secretly.

You should know that since you are breaking off the engagement, these things will naturally have to be returned. Of course, some of the food you have eaten will be converted into silver and returned to us.

All the young and old men in the village have seen all of this. Mr. Lin is a scholar, so he won't deny it, right?"

Qing He said this and looked at Mr. Lin.

Lin Xiucai blushed and stammered, "Scholars are most particular about rules, this is natural."

"That's fine, Master Lin is truly a role model for scholars.

Since we want to cancel the engagement, it won’t be you and us who cancel it, but me and you who cancel it.” Qing He said with a smile.

Shen was furious and slammed the table.

"Why? The monk said that your horoscope was not good. We are the ones who broke off the engagement, not that you look down on us."

"Yeah, she clearly came to our house, so how come you are the one who broke off the engagement? Do you understand the rules?"

Chu Qingmei interrupted abruptly.

"My cousin is interfering in my marriage. What kind of rules are these? Do you have any say here?"

Qinghe looked at Chu Qingmei deeply. Chu Qingmei's face turned red after being scolded.

"This is the Chu family's business. Why don't I have a say?"

"If you want to talk, fine, when you cancel the engagement, you can talk freely.

Or do you have some purpose? You are not interested in~~"

As he said this, he looked at Lin Mingze meaningfully, and everyone looked over too.

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to slander me?"

As he said this, he raised his hand to slap Qinghe, but the slap did not hit his face, but was firmly held in Qinghe's hand.

"Since we are going to cancel the engagement today, I have asked the head of the village to come over as a witness. Is that okay with Master Lin?"

As they were talking, the village head and some villagers who came to watch the fun walked into Lao Chu's house.

In fact, when the old Chu family was going to carry Chu Lao Er with great fanfare, some villagers went to the head of the village to report the news, and when Qing Yue went to invite him, he happened to meet him on the road.

"Old Chu, what happened in your family again? Did your child ask me to come over as a witness?"

After entering the door, Li Zheng asked directly.

"Village head, today Mr. Lin came to our house to talk about breaking off the engagement. This is a family matter. Who is so ignorant as to disturb you again?" After saying that, he glared at Qinghe fiercely.

"Yes, this is a trivial matter, I dare not trouble you." Mr. Lin also stood up and said.

"Since you've invited me here, let's talk business!"

The village head ignored the two people's excuses and sat in the main seat, and the others followed suit.

“Uncle Lizheng, you know about Qinghe’s marriage to the boy from the Lin family.

I saved Mr. Lin before. In order to thank me for saving his life, he insisted on marrying my daughter Qinghe.

I thought the child was not bad, so I agreed. At that time, we compared the horoscopes and it said that we were a perfect match, and that the wife would be virtuous and the husband would be noble in the future. My Qinghe has a destiny that brings good luck to her husband.

Today, Mr. Lin came to my house and said that our horoscopes were incompatible. If he married Qinghe from my family, he would have no hope of passing the imperial examination, would have few children, and would have unrest in the family. He wanted to cancel the engagement with the Chu family.

This guy who can change the situation with his hands is trying to ruin the reputation of my Qinghe family?" Chu Lao Er said angrily.

Mrs. Shen glanced sideways at Mr. Chu:

"We also heard this from a senior monk. We can't say for sure if what was said before was a lie. We don't want to be proven right. We would rather believe it than not.

Besides, what is the current situation in Chu Laoer’s family? Chu Laoer is paralyzed in bed. Isn’t this Qinghe’s fault?

I think your family has done a good job of dividing the family so that the whole family won’t be implicated.”

"There is some truth to what he said. The Chu family has been really unlucky recently. Could it really be Qinghe girl's fault?" Some villagers also started discussing.
