I just want to rob you of your luck

Xiao Zijie looked at his mother in surprise. He didn't expect that she knew everything.

That's right, with such a big commotion last night, how could it escape my mother's eyes and ears.

He looked at the old lady in bewilderment: "What should I do now? The invitations have been sent out, and the betrothal gifts are ready. If I cancel the wedding banquet at the last minute, how will the guests view our general's mansion?"

The old lady looked confident: "It was you who said those words to her last night that prompted Lin Jiuer to cancel the engagement. She will definitely regret it when she calms down.

Go find her at the Lin family and tell her that you are willing to marry her and let Qu Rouer be your concubine. Coax her a little and she will definitely change her mind. Then your wedding can be held as scheduled."

Xiao Zijie was shocked. He didn't expect this kind of operation could happen, but how could he lose face and ask Lin Jiuer to change her mind.

"I won't go. I am a fourth-rank general. How can I possibly ask a merchant girl to change her mind?"

The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet: "Are you going to piss off your mother to death before you stop? Who am I doing this for? Then cancel the wedding banquet. Anyway, I don't want to save my reputation anymore."

Finally, Xiao Zijie compromised and agreed to go to the Lin Mansion to see Lin Jiuer. Only then did the old lady calm down.

Xiao Zijie is on the verge of collapse now, and he can't understand how things have developed to this point.

The one who was as devastated as him at this moment was Qu Rouer.

Qu Rouer was lying in the room at the moment, Pei'er was applying medicine on her, looking at her bruises all over her body, she felt distressed and had tears in her eyes.

"Miss, didn't we agree with those beggars that this was just a show? How did it turn out like this?"

Qu Rouer looked at the curtain with lifeless eyes. Last night was the darkest and most terrifying moment in her life.

Those five beggars actually dared to do that to her. Although Xiao Zijie avenged her and killed those people, her innocence was lost and Xiao Zijie saw the disgusting scene, which would inevitably become a thorn in his heart.

Although Xiao Zijie said he would marry her when she woke up, his eyes were full of pity and guilt, without a trace of tenderness.

Even if she became his legal wife, without his favor, how could she fight with Lin Jiuer in the future?

She asked the same question as Xiao Zijie in her heart: How did things turn out like this?

Seeing her look of despair, Pei Er comforted her by saying, "Miss, fortunately the general has broken off the engagement with Miss Lin. In the future, you will be the only mistress of the backyard of the general's mansion."

When Qu Rouer heard the news, she suddenly sat up, grabbed Pei'er's arm and asked, "What did you say? The general broke off the engagement with Lin Jiuer?"

Pei'er felt a little pain from being grabbed, and she felt that the lady's expression was a little scary:

"Yes, I heard that the general went to Miss Lin last night and said that he wanted to marry you, and then Miss Lin broke off the engagement and moved back to the Lin Mansion overnight."

There was a big commotion today when someone came to the Lin residence to move furniture, but Pei'er didn't say anything.

The young lady is already upset enough, so don't bother her with this kind of thing.

Qu Rouer always felt that there was something wrong with Lin Jiuer's behavior. It should be said that she felt that Lin Jiuer's behavior was not reasonable since she entered the general's mansion.

Isn't it rumored that she is very obedient to Xiao Zijie and his mother?

Moreover, she did not show any dissatisfaction with her appearance. Apart from opposing her being made a co-wife, she didn't care about anything else.

It doesn't seem like he cares much about Xiao Zijie.

Did she want to leave a long time ago? But she had invested so much time and money, no one would leave so willingly.

Could it be that her love for Xiao Zijie turned into hatred, and she wanted to take revenge on Xiao Zijie for bringing her back, so she stopped subsidizing the General's Mansion.

Thinking about the abnormal behavior of those beggars last night, she felt a chill. Could this incident be related to Lin Jiuer?

She arranged all this in order to take revenge on Xiao Zijie and her. She took revenge and successfully broke off the engagement. Now everything makes sense!

The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed; she trusted her sixth sense.

A strong hatred burst out from her eyes. It was Lin Jiuer who harmed her. She couldn't get Xiao Zijie's love, so she wanted to destroy his happiness.

And she was just a tool for her revenge! This woman was so scary!

The next day, Xiao Zijie really went to the Lin Mansion, but unfortunately he was told that Lin Jiuer was not there.

On the third day, he went to the Lin Mansion again, and was still told that Lin Jiuer was not there. Xiao Zijie had no choice but to return to the General's Mansion. He always felt that Lin Jiuer was avoiding him.

In fact, Lin Jiuer has been staying in the Lin Mansion all the time. She has almost become a celebrity these days. The news of her breaking off the engagement with Xiao Zijie has been widely spread, and she doesn't want to go out at all.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Zijie would have the nerve to come to her. Could it be that this guy wanted to go back on his word?

She got goosebumps just thinking about the possibility.

So she instructed Zhong Bo, the doorman of the Lin Mansion, to tell anyone from the General's Mansion who came that she was not there.

On this day, Xiaoyun was arranged to go out to buy snacks for her. When she came back, she said with a gossipy look on her face:

"Miss, do you know? I heard that Prince Rong and the granddaughter of Prince Wan Guo also broke off their engagement. This news has overshadowed the news of you breaking off your engagement with General Xiao."

"What? Prince Rong also broke off the engagement? Did you hear why?"

Xiao Yun said, "I heard that Miss Wan went to the brothel to catch an adulterer and saw Prince Rong doing something with a group of women in the room. She was so angry that she proposed to cancel the engagement, and Prince Rong immediately agreed. I heard that Prince Rong was reprimanded by His Majesty because of this."

Lin Jiuer always felt something was wrong. Was Rong Shizi's waist and kidneys so healthy? Was it reasonable for him to do that with a group of women?

But she felt a little sympathy for Miss Wan. It must be very tiring to have such a fiancé, right?

I have to be on guard against him having affairs every day and conduct surprise inspections. I guess I will end up becoming a scout.

No wonder she is so violent even before she gets married.

But she also felt that Prince Rong was not such a romantic person. He was very polite the two times she met him and did not behave rudely to her.

Just when she was chatting with Xiaoyun, Uncle Zhong came.

"Miss, General Xiao is here again."

Lin Jiuer frowned: "Uncle Zhong, just tell him that I'm not in the Lin Mansion."

"I told you that, but he didn't seem to believe it and he refused to leave."

Lin Jiuer was almost annoyed to death by him. Why did this guy suddenly become shameless?

When he broke off the engagement, didn’t he have an expression that told him not to regret it? Why did he suddenly regret it?

"Uncle Zhong, then just ignore him, close the door and pretend he doesn't exist."

She wanted to see how thick-skinned Xiao Zijie was.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Xiao Zijie couldn't stand the pointing and talking of passers-by and left the gate of Lin's Mansion.

Lin Jiuer was helpless. He was not at the general's mansion to accompany his childhood sweetheart, so why did he come to see her every day?

But I can probably guess that it must have been the old lady's idea.

As for Qu Rou'er, did she think she could become the general's wife as she wished? Haha, there was something even more exciting waiting for her.

But if Xiao Zijie comes here to block her every day, that’s not a big deal. She has to find a way to get rid of him.

The best way is for her to find another buyer quickly and put an end to his thoughts.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Jiuer's mind. Didn't Prince Rong also cancel the engagement?

You can cooperate with him. He has a bad reputation anyway. When you have used him up, just give him some money as compensation.
