Three days passed quickly.

Under the auspices of the eldest daughter Su Chengnan, Su Weimin was buried smoothly.

During this period, she acted decisively, using both kindness and force. Second Miss Su Linhua was obedient. Everyone felt her attitude represented the Han family's, so they began to quiet their thoughts and work honestly.

At this critical moment, the Ningyuan Palace actually sent a steward to help. This is really rare. The Su family is very grateful!

The Song family arrived only after the burial was complete. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what the Song family meant.

So after discussing with Su Weimin's soul, Chen Nan decided to take the initiative to cancel the engagement and accumulate connections and goodwill for the Su family!

"You two, please come in."

"Miss, you are too polite."

Chen Nan asked the representatives of the two families to sit down and served them two cups of tea.

As soon as the people sat down, Chen, the steward of Ningyuan Palace, stood up and spoke first:

"My lady, the prince should have brought the crown prince here these past two days, but unfortunately the prince is far away at the border, and the young master is ill, so they sent me here. Please don't blame me, my lady."

"Butler Chen, please don't say that. Prince Ningyuan is an important official of the country. The border fortress cannot be relaxed for even a moment. It is our honor to have such a friend in the Su family."

"The Song Mansion is also inconvenienced. Please forgive me, Miss."

The Song Mansion's housekeeper followed suit. However, he didn't explain much, just brushing it off with such a simple sentence, which seemed very pale.

Chen Nan took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

But before he could swallow the tea, the other party couldn't wait to speak.

"Miss!"

"The Song family owed the Marquis a favor. Since the two families are well matched, this marriage is naturally a good story."

"But now Lord Su is gone. Things are different now. This..."

Chen Nan raised her eyelids and twitched the corners of her mouth. She didn't even need to look at the expression on his face; she knew what he meant just by listening to what he said.

Humph, her tone became harsh!

"Originally, my father wanted my second sister to inherit the position of head of the family!"

"It was only because of her young age that she handed it over to me. However, my health is not very good. In the future, the burden on my second sister will definitely not be lighter than mine."

The housekeeper of the Song Mansion was a shrewd-looking middle-aged man with a mole under his nose. When he was not talking, his eyes rolled back and forth, always giving people the impression that he looked down on others.

“Even if the position of the Patriarch is important, it’s a pity that the Su family has already collapsed.”

"There's no need to say more, young lady."

Chen Nan made a sound through his nose, stretched out his right hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

"Butler Song, are you speaking on behalf of the Song family?"

“That’s too much!!”

The mole-faced man glanced at her, then sneered and took out a letter from his pocket. Chen Nan was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that it said: "Letter of Cancellation of Engagement".

Her face suddenly turned black!

Su Weimin was wronged.

When the Queen Mother pardoned the Su family from exile, she did not convict him, but explicitly allowed everyone in the Su family to bring his body back for burial.

This attitude is enough to show that Su Weimin was not actually convicted.

Chen Nan really didn't expect that the Song family, the friends Su Weimin had entrusted his son to, would turn against each other so quickly?!

I really don’t know whether I should scold the Song family for being so heartless?

We should blame Su Weimin for being so desperate and blind to try all kinds of treatments!

If the Su family really had a daughter marry into this family, who knows how much grievance she would have to endure facing such a family?! No matter what others said, Lin Hua would definitely be so angry that she would cry.

Chen Nan narrowed his eyes and became fierce.

"Someone come here! Bring the things over here."

Uncle Fu, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in quickly as soon as he heard the voice and respectfully handed the two letters in his hand to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan took it and smiled meaningfully:

"Our Su family knows that the situation is difficult, and we don't know what to do in the future. But no matter what, my second sister and I will shoulder the heavy responsibility, protect our elder brothers and sisters, and protect everyone from the wind and rain."

"So, why don't we call it a day with our engagements with both families..."

Butler Chen from the Ningyuan Palace hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss, you absolutely cannot do this! This is the marriage arranged by Marquis Su. How can we change it so easily now?"

On the other side, Butler Song was leisurely drinking tea.

Chen Nan glanced at the other person, then turned his gaze to the steward of Prince Ning's Mansion and explained to him in a kind and gentle manner with a smile.

"The engagement between Ningyuan Palace and me was indeed arranged by my father and Prince Ningyuan, but I now bear the heavy burden of the Su family. I really don't have the energy to be a wife and a mother..."

"Therefore, my daughter Su Chengnan, as the head of the Su family, proposes to cancel the engagement. I would like to ask Butler Chen to take this letter back."

"I believe that Prince Ningyuan and the Crown Prince can understand Chengnan's difficulties... The Ningyuan Palace is a top-tier family, and there must be a woman who is more suitable than me."

After Chen Nan finished speaking, Butler Chen knew that she had made up her mind and had to take the letter, but he was only a butler and could not make decisions on behalf of his master.

"My lady... our prince is worried that you won't be able to hold on, so he specially found a famous doctor and brought him here with me. I hope you can let him stay in the Su family."

"I will immediately send this letter back to the palace. As for what the prince and the crown prince will decide, I dare not speculate."

Chen Nan was surprised. Sending a famous doctor? What's this?

Butler Chen didn't say much, just said that the famous doctor was waiting outside, and it would not be too late to see him again after the young lady was done with her work.

Chen Nan thanked the other party first and said nothing more.

The one from the Song Mansion, however, had a completely opposite attitude.

He stood up from his seat at the bottom, picked up the letter of withdrawal of engagement belonging to the Song family, and then asked Chen Nan with a smile.

"Miss Su, does this letter of withdrawal of engagement count?"

"Butler Song, that's interesting. Do you question the Song family head's decision when you're in the Song family?"

Chen Nan raised his eyelids and glanced at him with a forced smile.

"It seems that the Song family's family education and ability to judge people are just so-so."

"Miss, stop talking nonsense!" the other party was angry.

"Our Song family is a century-old family that has stood firm through many dynasties. How can we allow a woman like you to have so much say?!"

How could Chen Nan be intimidated by him? If it came to using someone else's skills as an excuse, she had already mastered it in the entertainment industry.

“No matter how powerful the Song family is, you are just a housekeeper.”

"Even though our Su family is in trouble, the Queen Mother has never said that she wants to take away the Su family's title."

"What qualifications do you have to act so arrogantly and speak nonsense in front of me?!"

The other party was choked with surprise written all over his face.

He thought to himself: Isn't the eldest daughter of the Su family terminally ill? Why does she look not only rosy, but also so imposing? The sharpness of her body almost blinded him.

Chen Nan ordered his servants to put the letter of breaking off the engagement in front of him.

"The marriage between the Su and Song families is now over!"

"There's no need to interact with each other anymore..."

At this moment, Lin Hua rushed in, she looked a little anxious:

"Eldest sister, someone is coming from the palace."
