Shengjing Noble

Mrs. Cheng didn't expect her to interrupt her. She was a little unresponsive for a moment, with confusion in her eyes.

I only heard Lu Wanjun suppressing the anger in her heart, with a cold smile on her lips, and asked lightly: "At the beginning, our two families verbally agreed to the marriage on a whim. Now think about it carefully, it was just a joke between us. Madam, you didn't take it seriously, right?"

"what?"

Mrs. Cheng's face changed and she stood up from her chair.

"Everyone in Shengjing knows that the second daughter of my Cheng family has made an engagement with the third son of your Su family. How can you treat this as a joke now? To be honest, I was not satisfied with this engagement when it was made. Now that I think about it, your Su family is indeed not a good match for ours, so I am here to cancel the engagement today."

Lu Wanjun ignored her words and said to herself, "I am only the concubine of the Su family. The marriages of the children should naturally be decided by the mistress. I just said it casually at that time, but I never thought that Madam Cheng would take it seriously?"

"Besides, I didn't ask clearly at first, and later I found out that Third Brother has someone in his heart. I've been worrying about finding an opportunity to explain the situation to you recently. I hope Madam Cheng will forgive me."

"you……"

Mrs. Cheng clenched her fists and looked extremely angry.

It's two completely different things for them to break off the engagement voluntarily and for the news of their breaking off the engagement to spread.

The Shengjing circle is so small that if someone’s engagement is broken off, they will become the laughing stock of gossip.

No matter how outstanding a man or a woman is, it will be difficult for them to find a better partner after being rejected once.

After all, who would want a product that someone else has returned?

Lu Wanjun did not give Madam Cheng any chance to refute, and with a few words she asked the servants to send the guest away.

Not only did she fail to gain any benefits, but she also got a cold shoulder. Mrs. Cheng stood in front of the Su family's door in frustration and couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Who do you think your Su family is? Are you qualified to cancel my girl's engagement? Ugh!"

"If we have to cancel, we should cancel the engagement first. It's my Yue'er who doesn't want your Su Shengyun!"

Her words attracted many passers-by to watch, and they were all curious about what had happened.

Lu Wanjun walked out calmly, her eyes full of indifference.

She took out the purse that she had just asked someone to get from Su Shengyun and threw it out.

"Mrs. Cheng, as everyone knows, an engagement party is going to be held, and neither you nor I have anything. I didn't expect you to care so much about my joke. I was wrong, and I apologize to you."

"Also, your second daughter gave my third brother a purse that she embroidered herself. This private exchange is not proper. Please return it to her and tell her that my third brother is not happy with her."

Mrs. Cheng was furious when she heard this. She stepped on the purse and said angrily, "Lu Wanjun, you are talking nonsense!"

"Your Su family is far inferior to our Cheng family. Su Shengyun is just a scholar. Is he worthy of my Yue'er's love? I think you are just being sentimental!"

"I came here today to tell you that my family will draw a clear line with yours and we will never have any contact with each other again. And our Yue'er will never marry a loser!"

"Don't think I don't know that your family is in trouble. Humph, don't you see what kind of person you are now? You're just waiting to end up on the streets!"

After saying that, Mrs. Cheng turned around and strode towards the street.

Passersby looked left and right and got a general idea of ​​what was going on, and started talking about it.

"Who is canceling whose engagement?"

"It was the Cheng family that broke off the engagement with the Su family!"

"No, no, I heard that Aunt Su made a joke, but the Cheng family took it seriously."

"The second young lady of the Cheng family also gave a purse to the third young master of the Su family. It seems that it is probably unrequited love."

"So, the Cheng family's engagement was broken off?"

"This should be."

……

Hearing this kind of person's voice, Lu Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yinyin reminded her, otherwise Shengyun would have to bear the reputation of being broken off today.

Thinking of this, she became extremely worried and immediately turned back home to check on Su Shengyun.

Upon learning that the Cheng family came to cancel the engagement, Su Shengyun did not react much. He lowered his head to look at the book in his hand and answered nonchalantly.

"A verbal agreement is not binding. Just make it clear now. Mother, don't worry."

"But this will have some impact on your reputation."

"It's okay. It's not a big deal since the engagement wasn't cancelled."

Lu Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had let it go, but then she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Then what do you think of Cheng Yue..."

"Miss Cheng is very good, but she is not suitable for me. I only agreed reluctantly because my mother liked her."

"See how I like you? How can you treat your life-long event so lightly?"

"I am devoted to studying the books of sages, so I don't have the energy to care about love affairs. I will leave the marriage to you. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I am still busy writing articles."

Having said that, Su Shengyun pushed her away from the desk and continued to study hard.

He has outstanding looks and noble temperament, but he has developed the appearance of a nerd, which is really annoying!

With a son like this, what kind of daughter-in-law can he find to live happily with him in the future?

Lu Wanjun returned to Suiyuexuan with a sigh.

Su Lanyin had heard about what had just happened, and she was finally relieved. As long as her third brother's engagement was not broken off, he would not become a laughing stock, nor would his life be tarnished.

The next thing is to guard against him strictly and not let the vixen arranged by the Madam and Su Lanxin get close to him!

After Lu Wanjun came back, she became even more uneasy. After much thought, she decided to go to the Heavenly Prison.

Even if he couldn't get in, at least he could give some money to bribe the place so that Lu Yichen could live more comfortably in there and not suffer.

Su Lanyin saw her intention and immediately changed her clothes and set off together.

……

The gate of the prison was heavily guarded, and there was no chance to visit at all.

In the end, it was Li Shian who heard the news and came, and used his official position to lobby for people to send in food, drink and medicine.

After finding out everything, Li Shian said, "Don't worry, the jailer said they didn't torture him severely, so no one was hurt."

Hearing this, Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin felt relieved.

"That's good, that's good!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

"Why are you being so polite? It's just a small favor. You guys go back first. This is not the place for you. The situation in the palace is still unknown. With Doctor Xue here, the emperor will surely be able to turn danger into safety. You guys go back and wait patiently. I'll protect you in the prison."

"Okay, then let's go back and wait."

……

When the mother and daughter returned to the Su Mansion, Su Yongcheng had just come out of the palace.

"Where have you been?" he asked coldly.

Lu Wanjun made up an excuse: "I was feeling anxious at home, so I went out to get some fresh air."

After saying that, she quickly asked, "Husband, what's going on in the palace? My elder brother..."

But before she could finish her words, Su Yongcheng scolded her harshly: "Shut up! Is this something you, a woman, can ask about? Go back now!"
