Shen Tang raised his butt, but when he heard this, he put it back down quickly.

No matter how anxious you are to go to the Jiang family, you have to join in the fun.

The old lady's face turned grim. The second wife stood up in shock just as she sat down, shouting, "Who spread these rumors? How dare you spread them in front of me!"

Who would dare to spread such a big thing? Doesn’t the Second Madam have any idea of ​​what’s going on?

The maid shook her head and said softly, "It's not a rumor. As soon as the Marquis returned home, he asked Steward Li to count the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Jingyang's Mansion and send them back to the mansion."

The betrothal gifts have been counted, and the marriage has been cancelled.

The Second Wife was anxious, "Does the Marquis agree to the Jingyang Palace's cancellation of the engagement?"

The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand quickly and said, "Go and invite the Marquis."

Knowing that the old lady was anxious, the maid did not delay and hurried to invite Shen Sui.

Shen Sui arrived quickly. He was already on his way to Songhe Hall. As soon as he entered the room, the old lady asked in a trembling voice, "Does Prince Jingyang's Mansion really want to cancel the engagement?"

Shen Sui didn't say anything, the answer was all on his face.

His face looked very ugly.

How could a father be happy when his daughter's engagement was broken off?

The old lady's fingertips turned white as she gripped the Buddhist beads. "Prince Jingyang's Mansion wants to cancel the engagement. Why didn't you discuss it with me before just agreeing?"

Prince Jingyang's Mansion wants to cancel the engagement. Can my father stop it?

She let the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Mansion return empty, and the old lady should have expected this day.

Shen Tang was mentally prepared and even looking forward to it, but when he really heard it, he felt a little empty in his heart.

Once the marriage is called off, she and Xie Guimo will really have nothing to do with each other anymore.

The old lady blamed Shen Sui for agreeing to cancel the engagement. Shen Sui laughed angrily, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Prince Jingyang's Mansion wants to cancel the engagement. If I don't agree without hesitation, do I have to break off relations with Prince Jingyang?"

Given all the schemes Shen Xian had made to avoid the wedding, how could he have the nerve to disagree with breaking off the engagement? He was already ashamed before he even brought it up.

The old lady was choked by Shen Sui's words and had nothing to say.

Prince Jingyang personally visited the mansion to ask for good luck for his son, and the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion agreed, but many unexpected events occurred. Finally, Prince Jingyang's Mansion held a grand wedding banquet to entertain guests, but the bridal sedan came but failed to take back the Crown Prince's Consort, making the Jingyang Mansion a laughing stock. Fortunately, the Crown Prince of Jingyang woke up without the need for good luck, otherwise it would have been more than just a cancellation of the engagement.

When Prince Jingyang wanted this marriage, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan refused to marry her. Now that they don't need her anymore, how can they not withdraw?

There are so many ladies from prominent families in Kyoto, and many of them are more outstanding than Shen Xi. Is it really necessary for Prince Jingyang to hang himself on a tree?

As the prince of Jingyang, it would be easy for him to marry someone like Shen Xian, but it would be extremely difficult for Shen Xian to marry someone with Xie Guimo's family background.

Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have reacted so strongly to the cancellation of the engagement.

However, in her previous life, Shen Xian finally married the second prince and became the queen. At that time, Shen Xian and the second prince were drugged and their relationship was already a fait accompli. According to Shen Xian, it was Xie Guimo who pushed her to the second prince. Such a thing should not happen again in this life.

Shen Sui came to the old lady to pick up something. "The engagement jade pendant between Xian'er and the Prince of Jingyang is kept by mother, right?"

He came to get the engagement jade pendant.

The betrothal gifts must be returned, and the engagement token must naturally be returned as well.

"In Xian'er's hands."

The old lady looked at Mother Wang and said exhaustedly, "Go get it."

Shen Sui had already agreed to cancel the engagement, so there was no point in her objecting. As Shen Sui said, if she canceled the engagement quickly, she could still maintain some dignity. It would be embarrassing if they really fell out.

Even the emperor might not be able to stop Prince Jingyang from doing what he wants to do, let alone their Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

It's a pity that such a good marriage is ruined...

if……

The old lady glanced at Shen Tang, and the regret in her eyes became even stronger.

Shen Tang takes sisterhood too seriously. If she had any selfish motives, she would have gotten into the bridal sedan at Prince Jingyang's mansion.

Although the old lady loves Shen Xian more, Shen Xian is still not as important as the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in her heart.

The old lady looked at Shen Tang, and the second wife knew what the old lady was thinking. She was angry and didn't dare to say it because Shen Sui was there. If it weren't for Shen Tang's cup of tea, the Jingyang Palace would not know that Shen Ying didn't want to get married, and they would not have canceled the engagement!

He is really a troublemaker.

Fortunately, Shen Tang did not get into the bridal sedan. The second wife would rather cancel the engagement than let Shen Tang get married.

But after being rejected by the Jingyang Palace, how could Shen Xiang be able to marry into a good family in the future? The more the Second Wife thought about it, the more she disliked Shen Tang, and her silver teeth were almost broken.

After waiting for a while, the maid who went to get the engagement token came back, hesitant.

The old lady was in a bad mood and became less and less patient. "Where's the jade pendant?"

The maid whispered, "The jade pendant is broken, broken..."

She spread out her palms.

A piece of fine mutton-fat jade pendant broke into two pieces.

The old lady's already ugly expression suddenly became even uglier.

She knew that Shen Ying was unwilling to cancel the engagement, but she was also the one who didn't want to get married.

What she did was shameful. She even broke off the engagement in such an undignified manner. How could she still act like a lady from a noble family?!

The old lady was extremely disappointed with Shen Xi.

As for Shen Tang, the old lady was just sorry but did not blame Shen Tang for doing something wrong. Firstly, Shen Tang did it under the guise of Jiang's dream. Secondly, the old lady knew Shen Xian's personality and wanted Shen Tang to get married to bring good luck. If Prince Jingyang really woke up, Shen Xian would definitely have a grudge against Shen Tang, and the sisters would definitely have a rift, which would cause endless troubles.

Even if the engagement jade pendant was broken, it had to be returned. Prince Jingyang would not care about a broken piece of the jade pendant. However, Shen Sui was too ashamed to see Prince Jingyang again after raising such a daughter.

After Shen Sui left, Shen Tang followed suit.

She went to the front yard and asked Steward Li to arrange a carriage. Steward Li felt strange. The doctor said that Shen Tang needed to rest. He knew what was going on with the second lady that required her to leave the house today?

However, Manager Li did not ask too many questions, as he was busy at the moment. The betrothal gifts from Prince Jingyang's Mansion were quite a lot, and they were mixed with the dowry prepared by Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion, making it difficult to count. Thinking that Shen Tang must have left the mansion with the permission of the Marquis and the old lady, he made arrangements.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Tang went straight to the Jiang family.
