I just want to die of old age

As expected, Su Mingyu received a big surprise. The wife of the Marquis came to Su Mingyu's yard happily, surrounded by her maids.

She looked at her beloved daughter with great joy, and stroked Su Mingyu's hair with her well-maintained hands, saying with joy: "My Mingyu, you are so beautiful, mother really can't bear to part with you."

Su Mingyu felt uneasy when she heard this and asked tentatively, "Mom, what happened?"

The Marquis's wife said happily, "The Marquis just asked me to talk to him. Your marriage can be scheduled now."

When Su Mingyu heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. She had always wanted to resolve this marriage, but had no good way.

In addition, the relationship with the third prince has not yet been put on track, so she has not started to deal with this matter.

If she had known earlier, she should have canceled the marriage early.

Su Mingyu was anxious, but still shy. She wanted to delay for a while, so she said delicately, "Mother, I don't want to get married so soon. I don't want to leave you."

Seeing this, Madam Xiang Yayan was relieved. She held Su Mingyu's hands and said reluctantly, "I don't want to let you go, but girls have to get married eventually. Besides, this marriage was specially instructed by the Marquis."

This incident really disrupted Su Mingyu's plans completely.

Although her face looked extremely ugly, she still suppressed her annoyance, lowered her head silently, and hugged the wife of the Marquis to hide her emotions.

"Mother, I don't want to get married."

The Marquis's wife thought she was just reluctant to leave, and comforted her: "After you get married, you can come home often. Our two families have a good relationship, so you won't mind."

Seeing this, Su Mingyu could only think of other ways.

But she secretly took her anger out on him in her heart: He always said how much he loved her, but when it came to the critical moment, he still wanted her to get married.

Lady Xiang Yayan was delighted when she saw Su Mingyu acting like a spoiled brat.

There was a gentle look on her face as she gently stroked Su Mingyu's black hair.

She said softly, "Mother is reluctant to let you go, but this is a good marriage. The most important thing for a girl is to marry into a good family."

She kept on talking, wishing she could tell Su Mingyu all her experiences and cram them all into her head.

But she didn't know that Su Mingyu hated her in her heart. Listening to his caring words, she didn't feel happy. Instead, a look of annoyance appeared on her face, but she didn't show it.

When Lady Xiang Yayan left the yard, she could no longer control her emotions.

She had a restless look on her face, and she kept rubbing the silk scarf in her hands and walking around the room anxiously.

She kept muttering, "No, I must find a way to cancel this marriage. I want to marry the Third Prince and become his principal wife."

Thinking of the origin of this marriage, she hated me even more and her face became gloomy.

She took her anger out on me, otherwise she wouldn't be so upset.

But she did not blame the wrong person, because I specifically told my father about this matter, just to make things difficult for Su Mingyu.

Moreover, the more critical the situation is, the more likely it is to expose the forces behind Su Mingyu.

When Lord Marquis Su Muyun received the note I sent him, he had already made a plan in his mind.

He was full of thoughts. He didn't expect that Su Mingyu had a close relationship with the third prince. It seemed that the person behind the scenes had a complicated plan.

He became more cautious in his heart. After all, it was a conspiracy against the royal family, so it was not a simple conspiracy.

Sure enough, after a few days, under Su Mingyu's plan, an unexpected event occurred in this marriage, and Mrs. Shangguan brought Shangguan Rui to the Marquis' Mansion.

She forced a smile on her face, handed the wedding invitation back to the wife of the Marquis, and said reluctantly to her best friend, "My Rui'er is not worthy of your daughter. The two of us are not compatible. Let's just call off this marriage."

After hearing this, Lady Xiang Yayan was furious. Her face turned red and she no longer maintained her noble lady demeanor. She angrily shouted, "What do you Shangguan family mean? You actually want to cancel the engagement."

Mrs. Shangguan thought that the wife of the Marquis was pretending to be angry. She already felt aggrieved for her son, and when she heard the wife of the Marquis's questioning, she could no longer hold back her anger.

Madam Shangguan said sarcastically, "We are not worthy of your daughter. Since she is already with the Third Prince, why would she get engaged to us?"

Madam Shangguan was furious when she thought about how the Third Prince sent one of his men to arrogantly ask them to cancel the engagement.

But that was the third prince. After all, he was a member of the royal family and was deeply loved. They had no way of offending him.

I could only endure the humiliation silently and cancel the marriage.

When the wife of the Marquis heard this, she was so shocked that her expression turned ugly.

She suppressed her anger and said, "You are talking nonsense. You actually want to destroy the reputation of my Mingyu."

The two noble wives, who were as close as sisters, were now quarreling with each other.

When Madam Shangguan discovered that Madam Houfu was truly angry, she knew that she really didn't know about this matter, and her expression relaxed.

But Madam Shangguan said sarcastically: "It seems that you don't know that Su Mingyu is quite capable."

After Mrs. Shangguan finished explaining what happened, she prepared to leave.

But she saw Shangguan Rui still standing there stubbornly, not moving at all. She couldn't help but step forward and pull at his sleeve.

Shangguan Rui remained motionless.

She glared at the unpromising Shangguan Rui fiercely and shouted angrily, "Why don't you leave?"

Shangguan Rui couldn't hold back his inner feelings and said to the wife of the Marquis: "Madam, I want to see Mingyu."

At this moment, his handsome face was full of sadness. He still couldn't accept it. He wanted to find Mingyu to ask about this matter clearly.

Madam Xiang Yayan, the Marquis's wife, also stood there in a daze, and only came to her senses at this moment.

She ordered the maid to bring Su Mingyu over. She didn't dare to jump to any conclusion until the matter was made clear.

As she thought about Mingyu's every move before the engagement, she became more and more suspicious.

After a while, Su Mingyu reluctantly came to the hall under the guidance of her maid.

Seeing Shangguan Rui looking at her with deep affection in his eyes, she rarely showed an embarrassed expression.

After all, Shangguan Rui really loved her, and she was very moved, but the momentary emotion was still not as great as her yearning for power.

After Su Mingyu bowed respectfully, she stood beside the Marquis's wife.

Shangguan Rui asked the wife of the Marquis's Mansion for permission and wanted to talk to Su Mingyu alone.

The wife of the Marquis's mansion was very familiar with Su Mingyu's every move, so she knew that what Madam Shangguan said was right.

Seeing this, she nodded in agreement.
