Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 4 The Cannon Fodder Lady Replaced by a Maid 3

"My son, did that girl Su Lan tell you how the Su family's wealth from those shops was handled?"

Ma had been waiting for a month, but hadn't seen any movement from Qin Xiaolian, and she was getting anxious. Although Su Lan was the only one who escaped from the Su family's 300 members, the Su family's businesses were spread all over Liang State, and the power and financial resources behind them would also be helpful to her son's future official career.

"My son, did Su Lan tell you how the Su family handled the wealth from those shops?" Ma asked softly while tidying up Liu Yu's clothes.

She had been waiting for a whole month, but still hadn't seen Su Lan take any action. This made her increasingly anxious.

Although all 300 members of the Su family have been executed, their businesses are spread throughout the Liang State. The huge power and strong financial resources behind them will undoubtedly be of great help to their son's future career.

Liu Yu frowned and replied impatiently: "Mom, don't worry, haven't I already told you?"

Ma sighed and said worriedly, "But this isn't a solution! We must seize control of the Su family's assets as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone gets there first, it will be troublesome."

Liu Yu shook her head helplessly and comforted her mother, "Don't worry, Mom! I see that little girl likes me too. This matter will take time, so don't be too anxious."

Ma nodded, a determined glint in her eyes.

"You go over and tell her like this today..." Ma came up with a plan to force "Su Lan".

"You should put it in a nice way. If she has the wealth of the Su family, you can trick her into staying. It wouldn't be unfair for her to be a concubine."

"Mother still has the right idea." Liu Yu bowed to Ma and went to the courtyard where Qin Xiaolian lived.

Qin Xiaolian was also holding the fake jade pendant and wondering when she would make the connection and possess that enviable wealth.

"Miss, Master Yu wants to see you," the little maid came in from the outer courtyard to report.

After Qin Xiaolian carefully put away the jade pendant, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and then she happily went out to greet him.

"Brother Yu, what's the matter with you coming to see Lan'er?"

When Liu Yu saw Qin Xiaolian coming out, he subconsciously stepped back. After all, he had observed her many times during this period of time and found that this young lady from the Su family had very poor manners.

Qin Xiaolian did not notice Liu Yu's little action. When she saw Liu Yu standing at the door, she walked forward enthusiastically and wanted to take Liu Yu into the yard to sit for a while.

Liu Yu quickly winked at the maid next to her and asked her to go down first.

After the maid left, Liu Yu said to Qin Xiaolian, "Sister Lan'er, I came here today to tell you something. My mother wants to cancel the engagement with your family."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaolian almost couldn't keep the smile on her face, but she still forced a smile and asked Liu Yu: "Why, Brother Yu?"

Liu Yu sighed and replied, "A young man from an aristocratic family marrying an orphan girl would also hinder my future as an examiner. It would be so much better if Sister Lan'er was still the eldest daughter of the wealthy Su family... Oh! Forget it!"

After saying these words, Liu Yu looked at Qin Xiaolian with an apologetic look, as if he was still a little reluctant, and looked very affectionate.

"Of course I like you, but I can't go against my mother's wishes, so I can only let Sister Lan'er be my concubine. But don't worry, I will treat you well. When the time comes, I will take you to my house. With me protecting you, I will definitely ensure that you will have no worries for the rest of your life. Is that okay?"

As Liu Yu spoke, he moved closer to Qin Xiaolian and even reached out to hug her.

However, Qin Xiaolian cleverly avoided Liu Yu's outstretched hand and took a step back to increase the distance between them.

Sure enough, that bitch was eyeing the Su family's money, which should have belonged to her, and she even wanted to make her a concubine.

No, I have to contact the Su family quickly. Qin Xiaolian held the jade pendant in her sleeve tightly in her left hand.

After Liu Yu left, Qin Xiaolian avoided the maid and found the rice shop on the street based on the information she had obtained from Su Lan.

Su Lin looked at the girl in front of him who was dressed very similar to Su Lan, suppressed his anger, and started acting with Qin Xiaolian.

After she took out the fake jade pendant, she pretended to be sad and listened to Qin Xiaolian talk about her experience in the Liu family.

"Miss, do you want to cancel the engagement? I can call on the old members of the Su family to come to your house to support you. With our Su family's wealth, we can even marry you to the prince."

Su Lin patiently persuaded her, which was also Su Lan's intention, to raise Qin Xiaolian's standards.

Qin Xiaolian also thought about it. With the Su family's money, she didn't have to marry into the Liu family. Breaking off the engagement could also slap the Liu family in the face and let them see what would happen if they looked down on her.

"I want to cancel the engagement. Please, Uncle Su, come and pick me up tomorrow."

Su Lin agreed, and after sending Qin Xiaolian away, he went to the backyard to find Su Lan.

During this month, Su Lan often went into the space to practice and train her soul, and her body also recovered. When Qin Xiaolian came to her house, Tuanzi told her that the time had come to cancel the engagement.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. The Liu family had just finished a sumptuous lunch and were preparing to take a break.

At this time, the gatekeeper came hurriedly to report that there was a group of richly dressed and distinguished officials outside the mansion who wanted to see him.

These officials all looked serious, as if they had come with important matters.

Ma quickly realized that it must be someone from the Su family, "Cui'er, call Miss Su."

Qin Xiaolian walked in front of everyone in the Liu Mansion with an arrogant air, acting like the host.

With a slight creaking sound, the heavy vermilion door of the Liu Mansion slowly opened. Many curious people had already gathered outside the door, whispering and talking to each other.

“Whose lady’s ceremony is this? It’s so grand!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the team in front of them.

Twelve merchants dressed in the attire of a wealthy official walked in the front, closely followed by ten uniformly dressed maids. They moved gracefully, their steps light and graceful, and they held various items in their hands. In the center of the procession, an ornately decorated and extravagant sedan chair stood out. At the rear, twenty servants followed closely behind.

One woman couldn't help but whisper to the sisters around her: "This sedan chair looks very valuable. Even the curtains are inlaid with pearls!"

At this moment, Su Lan, sitting in the sedan chair, was listening to the noise outside.

She was wearing a dress as white as snow, her long black hair was combed neatly, and there was only a green and warm jade hairpin on her head. She looked fresh and refined, yet elegant and noble.

"How about it, Tuanzi, today I'll show off. If she wants to slap the Liu family in the face, I'll slap her in the face."

Tuanzi praises the host with rainbow farts. As long as the host praises more, he will be motivated to complete the task~

Qin Xiaolian, who had just walked out of the door, thought that Su Lin was really good at handling things and had made such a big scene. She was very satisfied.

It’s a pity that the original lady couldn’t see her own glorious moment. She died young, but she still made contributions.

Qin Xiaolian walked towards Su Lin in the crowd with a smile on her face. However, what she didn't expect was that Su Lin didn't even look at her, ignored her directly, and walked straight towards the old lady of the Liu family.

After Su Lin walked up to the old lady of the Liu family, he gently bowed as a junior.

He knew very well that although he was only a member of the Su family's side branch, he was here today as the head of the Su family, so he had to show the style of the Su family. Moreover, the cancellation of the engagement also affected the reputation of his young lady, so he had to observe proper etiquette.

"Old Madam, I am Su Lin, a branch of the Su family. It is really rude of me to come to your house without permission. But I have come here to discuss important matters." Su Lin said softly, his tone sincere and firm.

The Su family? Is that the rich Su family that was wiped out a month ago?

The crowd quickly grasped the key point. After all, the direct line of such a large family was wiped out overnight. The news had already spread from Lingtian County, and perhaps those in the palace also knew about it.

"Ah, my dear nephew, you can't be so sure. Our Liu family is not one to take advantage of others' misfortunes. The engagement with the Su family must be fulfilled."

Everyone in the Liu family stared at Qin Xiaolian. They wanted to teach her a lesson because this little girl was so angry.

"Yes, I want to cancel the engagement," Qin Xiaolian glared back in dissatisfaction.

Ma immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Su, since you fled to this county and came to the Liu family, have they treated you poorly?"

Qin Xiaolian didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, they treated her as a lady.

"Is this Miss Su such an ungrateful person? The Liu family has taken in an orphan like her, yet she's still looking for trouble," a scholar-looking man in the crowd spoke up.

"But judging from the grand occasion today, the Su family must be wealthy. So what if she's just an orphan? Not to mention a young master from a noble family, even a prince should be worthy of her," said a smartly dressed woman.

Qin Xiaolian instantly felt different. With such a family background, even the prince would come to her.
