Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

The Sun family laughed at the Lin family for "settling for second best" and choosing the Qiao family.

Now, the Sun family has lowered their standards and chosen the Wu family. How can the proud Wu family tolerate this?

It was like a boomerang, stabbing itself.

Qiao Zhizhi was on the stage, painting calmly and leisurely.

As the dean and main teacher of Qingteng Calligraphy and Painting Academy, many noble ladies and gentlemen come to her for classes every day. It is extremely easy for her to spread a message, and it can be spread without leaving any trace.

Listening to the discussions in the classroom, the corners of her mouth curled up inadvertently.

Yang Yingzhi said in the crowd, "Our teacher Zhizhi is humble and generous, gentle and patient, and she wholeheartedly seeks only sincerity, which is why she accepted the Lin family's proposal. This is such a rare quality, and yet someone is using this to make a fuss and humiliate her character."

"Who would have thought that the person who humiliated her couldn't even clean up his own mess, and speaking out about it would be even more shameful."

A noblewoman continued, "We also say that Teacher Zhizhi is very lucky. The Lin family and the Third Young Master Lin will definitely pamper her and love her well in the future. Besides, giving birth isn't necessarily a good thing for a woman. Not having to endure this hardship for a lifetime might be a blessing from a previous life."

"Sun Hetang is shameless. Even after this incident became public, the Lin family still hasn't officially gone through the formalities with the Sun family. This kind of thing happens all the time in the capital. When good things don't work out, everyone just pretends not to know, so as not to create any rifts between the officially chosen in-laws. And I don't know what got Sun Hetang into this, but she had to make such a scene. Now everyone knows that she was the one who was chasing the Third Young Master Lin and insisting on marrying him. Now that the procedures are going smoothly, the Wu family doesn't even want to pay the betrothal gift. This is truly shameful."

Sun Hetang's reputation was ruined.

Today was supposed to be the day when the Wu family proposed marriage, but the front door of the Sun family was deserted and there was no movement at all.

The betrothal ceremony before the wedding is a very lively and anticipated scene.

The direct elders and clan elders of the Sun family all looked embarrassed.

"What's going on with the Wu family? They've already made a promise, are they planning to go back on their word?"

After the auspicious time passed, the Wu family would definitely not come. Old Master Sun put the cups and plates heavily on the table with a gloomy face.

"That's right. If so many powerful families know about this, the Wu family won't come to propose marriage. Who knows how the powerful families will laugh at the Sun family." The previous anxiety on Mrs. Sun's face turned into anger.

Sun Hetang's father, Master Sun, frowned. "Could it be because of those rumors?"

So many people knew about it, how could the Sun family not know? At this critical juncture, someone spilled all that old gossip, of course with ill intentions. They had originally thought that the betrothal gift specifications and the date for the engagement had already been set, and even if outsiders spoke ill of it, the Wu family would have to stick to the rules and would never renege on the agreement.

Who would have thought that the Wu family would not come to propose marriage directly, which was tantamount to stepping on the face of the Sun family.

"It's just hearsay, but the Wu family wants to take it seriously. They had a good agreement before, but now they have abandoned the Sun family. The Wu family has completely stopped being human. Tang'er is hiding in the room crying. I'm afraid she will never be able to resolve the humiliation she has endured in her lifetime." Mrs. Lin said, pressing the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Second brother, come with me to the Wu family. I want to hear for myself what their attitude is."

Old man Sun got up with the help of a cane. He had not left the house for three years due to his leg problems. Now, for the sake of his most beloved granddaughter, he endured the inconvenience and went for a walk.

"No need to work hard." A voice came from outside the door and two people stepped in.

It’s Uncle Wu and Master Wu who are here.

Seeing that there was no one behind the two men, without any etiquette team or gift boxes, the Sun family knew that the two men might have come to have a quarrel.

The Sun family members looked unhappy and took a defensive stance, and the two families were on the verge of a showdown.

"Please sit down." Old Master Sun frowned and made a gesture of invitation.

The two of them sat down, but didn't even look at the snacks on the table.

Master Wu looked gloomy and indifferent, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Grandpa Wu bowed to Grandpa Sun and said, "I'm sorry to have kept the Sun family waiting."

Old Master Sun suppressed his anger and snorted, "Uncle Wu also knows that our Sun family has been waiting, but you broke your promise. Isn't this making people laugh at our Sun family?"

Faced with so many unfriendly and questioning looks from the Sun family, Uncle Wu smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"The Wu family was originally very sincere and had set the amount of betrothal gifts and various ceremonial specifications. If any of them were missing, we would be letting the Sun family down."

"It's just that these days, there have been unpleasant things said. I believe you have heard it too. Our Wu family is caught in the middle and is in a difficult position. They say that Miss Sun Wu is about to marry into the Wu family, but she doesn't care about her own reputation and doesn't consider the Wu family at all."

"Everyone outside is laughing at Miss Sun Wu and my son. They're saying things like he had to settle for second best and that he was the leftover. This is really humiliating."

"What others say is their business," said Madam Sun Er. "Among the noble families, aren't there enough unrealistic rumors? If everyone takes them seriously, wouldn't that just allow the villains to succeed? Our Sun and Wu families were originally a perfect match, but it's ruined by these rumors. Such instability is truly a laughing stock."

Young Master Wu spoke up, "But this isn't a rumor. I've verified it. Miss Fifth is indeed infatuated with Young Master Lin, and her words and actions have been inappropriate. She even provoked him in front of Miss Zhizhi and Young Master Lin San. Since our two families have decided to marry, why would Miss Fifth bother to disrupt Young Master Lin San? The Qiao and Lin families are also going through the formalities of a wedding, and because of what happened before, they should avoid suspicion even more. Isn't her behavior a bit excessive?"

He stood up and bowed to the elders of the Lin family present.

"After all, the Wu family and the Sun family are not meant to be together, and neither are Miss Sun Wu and I. Our Wu family will withdraw from this. I hope Miss Sun Wu can find a good husband in the future."

Uncle Wu also stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Goodbye."

Then the father and son left without looking back.

The rest of the Sun family stared at each other in amazement.

Old Master Sun was holding the cup, his hands shaking. He lost control of his temper and threw it hard to the ground in the middle of the hall.

The cups and plates were shattered into pieces, just like the Sun family's lost dignity.

"Who spread the news? The engagement was cancelled at the last minute, and there are also the previous rumors. How is Tang'er going to get married in the future?" Master Sun rolled his eyes in anger and slapped the armrest.

"This incident is a great shame and humiliation for our Sun family."

"Tang'er has been lively since she was young. She doesn't choose every word carefully and is reserved. If she says something wrong, just scold her once or twice. Why ruin her life?" Madam Sun Er said angrily.
