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

Chapter 12

"Maybe it's true! It's okay for the Lin family to be careful. After all, this is a matter concerning the whole family!" someone agreed.

In this backward ancient time, people believed in ghosts and gods the most. When Shen said this, many people began to have doubts.

"Isn't that the truth? It's not fair to drag the Lin family into this unlucky situation yourself."

Zhou listened to these discussions and raised her eyebrows.

"Auntie, are you thinking that after I cancel the engagement, you can fill the vacancy and become the daughter-in-law of Mr. Lin?

You are so impatient, how much you want to get married! "

"Bullshit, who said we are in a hurry to fill the vacancy?

Who the Lin family is getting engaged to has nothing to do with you, a little girl!" Zhou said angrily.

"Then your aunt doesn't want to marry into the Lin family?" Qinghe asked Zhou with a smile. Zhou choked and couldn't speak.

Chu Lao Da angrily slammed the table and pointed at Chu Lao Er:

"Second brother, look at your little girl, is she talking to an elder?

Is there any rule at all? How can a junior interrupt an adult when he is talking? "

“Brother, I’m a useless person now, and Qinghe is in charge of all family matters.

Today she will represent my second branch, and she can say anything. "The second Chu leaned forward, looked around, and said to the first Chu.

Qinghe felt warm in her heart. In her impression, Chu Lao Er, who was always silent and kind-hearted, actually spoke so firmly today and stood on her side.

It seems that it is time to see the true face of one's family and get rid of the rhythm of blind filial piety.

Just for this reason, Chu Qinghe must protect this vulnerable and pitiful family.

"Grandpa Lizheng, you also know about our family's affairs.

The main reason I invited you here today is to let you be a witness." Qing He told the village head the purpose of today's event.

"Okay, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

“Before you came, we also said that you can cancel the engagement.

But in recent years, the Lin family has taken a lot of grain and silver from my father intermittently.

Not to mention anything else, the wild boar that my father killed when he rescued Mr. Lin was worth five taels of silver.

In addition, the amount of grain and silver that the Lin family borrowed from my family every year was no less than twelve or thirteen taels.

He also received a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstone every year. A few years ago, Mr. Lin fell ill and borrowed another eleven taels.

As for the silver we borrowed for the imperial examinations in recent years, we don’t want more. Just give us back thirty taels of silver.

This is not much, right? Mr. Lin? "

Thinking that he could get rid of this marriage and marry into the Chu family, he could get even greater benefits. Lin Xiucai suppressed his anger and

"Of course, but I don't have that much money right now. Can I pay it back later?"

Qinghe smiled.

“Okay, but since you don’t have the money, I’d like to trouble Mr. Lin to write an IOU.

This will save us from future disputes over this matter. Do you think this is okay, Grandpa Lizheng?"

The head of the village was stunned. He felt that this girl He had become smarter since she hit her head.

I am not a coward anymore, that's good. "Okay, that's the right thing to do."

As he said this, he asked his second son Zhang Dashan to go home and get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Mr. Lin originally wanted to agree to it verbally, but whether to pay it back in the future was up to him.

I didn't expect this girl to be so scheming. I have to write about her.

Feeling angry, he quickly wrote the IOU and handed it to the head of the village.

He said angrily: "Now that the IOU is written, it's time to return the Engagement Letter to us, right?"

Qing He picked up the IOU and said, "Please write down the time when you will pay me back, Mr. Lin. I won't make it difficult for you. Just write three months!"

Lin Xiucai was furious:

"You are so aggressive, no wonder you have a bad fate. Who would want a woman like you to be their daughter-in-law in the future?

"Don't worry about this, just write it quickly!"

Qinghe pushed the IOU in front of Mr. Lin, watched him finish writing, sign and put his fingerprint on it, and then handed it to Li Zheng to sign his name and put his fingerprint on it as a witness. Qinghe also did the same.

Then he collected the IOU and said to the head of the village:

"Grandpa Lizheng, I've accepted the IOU. I also know that my father's legs and feet are not in good condition now, and I don't want to drag down the Lin family, so that people won't say that our family will drag them down in the future."

The Lin family and the Chu family felt relieved immediately. They didn't expect that the engagement could be cancelled so easily.

She was sensible. Just as he was feeling relieved, Qing He's voice rang out again, "But, I have two conditions?"

Liang was displeased, "What other conditions do you have?"

"Since Aunt Lin said that the monks clearly stated that Lin Mingze and our Chu family's daughter cannot get married, then after breaking off the engagement with me, he can no longer get engaged to my Chu family's daughter. This is one thing.

Second, it is me, Chu Qinghe, who does not want Lin Mingze, and I took the initiative to break off the engagement with the Lin family." Qinghe said to everyone in the hall with gloomy eyes.

"What are you talking about, you bitch? Who the Lin family gets engaged to is none of your business. Why do you have to care?

To tell you the truth, you have to withdraw today whether you want to or not. Do you still have the right to speak as a loser?

I also said that after I break off the engagement with you today, my childhood sweetheart will be engaged to Mr. Lin right away. What's it to you?"

Mrs. Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into a rant.

"Yes, sister Qinghe, how can you ruin someone's marriage just because you are unlucky? How did I offend you?"

Chu Qingmei asked Qinghe with a sad and weak look on her face.

"Don't you know what your sister did?

Today the Lin family broke off the engagement with me and then got engaged to you. What’s going on? Wasn’t this a conspiracy long ago?

Or do you think that our Second Branch is too honest and can be deceived, too ignorant to even see this trick?"

"What could be the trick? Our family thinks Qingmei is sensible, generous and decent, and she is a good match for our family.

To tell you the truth, we will marry Qingmei today and get married to her in the future to continue the Lin family's bloodline.

You can't just think about yourself and not think about others, right? Isn't this too vicious?"

As soon as Liang's voice fell, discussions arose again around them.

"Yeah, it's pretty vicious to not know your own well-being and not wish well for others."

"Yes, I'm afraid no one will dare to marry a girl like this in the future!"

"But, if you cancel the engagement today, then it's not right to get engaged to He girl's sister. Isn't this a slap in the face of Chu Laoer's family?"

Chu Qinghe listened to everyone's discussion and was about to cry:

"Yeah, isn't this a slap in our face?

Dear grandparents, aunts, uncles, and sisters, I'm not being malicious. Originally, the Lin family said that the monk asserted that the engagement between my Chu family's daughter and Lin Mingze would bring harm to their family, so they cancelled the engagement.

I just proposed that after the engagement is cancelled, you can no longer be engaged to my Chu family's daughter. I am also thinking about the Lin family, right?"

"That's right." The head of the village said.

“But Aunt Lin just said that she is getting engaged to Sister Qingmei today. Doesn’t this contradict what she said before?

Could it be that the Lin family deliberately said this to discredit me in order to get rid of my family? "

"Now that you mention it, it's really possible." Someone else started to discuss

"Yeah, you can't act like this as a human being!"

"Don't you know the Chu family yet? The Lin family now has a scholar.

Now Lin Mingze is also studying, and the marriage between the two families will provide more help to Qingran.

Chu Laoer can't send aid to the Lin family now, so if the two families hit it off, wouldn't it be unfair to Chu Laoer's family?"
