The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 3 The Scumbag Comes to Break Off the Engagement

"Ah, I am your only brother, why are you still hitting me? When you get married, I won't support you anymore."

"You're so bold, you dare to threaten me, you little brat! I need your support, but I'm afraid I'll just have to clean up your mess."

She twisted Lu Zhan's ear with her hand. In public, her sister actually said such vulgar words and did such vulgar things. Lu Zhan's face turned red.

"It hurts, it hurts, sister, why are you so vulgar? Your words are vulgar, your actions are vulgar, and your hands are so strong."

"With a brother like you, I can't be gentle even if I want to. Don't cause trouble for me, otherwise, you can wait for the means of my method."

Her threat frightened Lu Zhan so much that he became quiet and didn't dare to speak any more.

When they got home, Yuncan and the girl were looking forward to it. They were relieved to see them return safely.

"Sister, our family has nothing else except this house. The Fang family wants to cancel the engagement. What should we do?"

Yun Yi is the oldest among his younger brothers. He is fourteen years old this year. When he thinks about today's situation and Prince Rui, his head is about to explode.

"I've already thought about it. My father's title is not hereditary. If he comes to Lu Zhan, the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery will be gone. Besides, there are too many nobles in the capital, and it's easy to offend them. The Fang family is not a good family.

So I decided that we should go back to our hometown, where my father lived as a child, to avoid these disputes and so that you can study in peace."

"Let's go back home! Sister, Dad once said that he was an orphan when he was young. The village was very poor, and he grew up eating at other people's homes. Do we really have to go back and live a hard life?"

When Lu Zhan heard that he was going back to his hometown, he thought of what his father had said before. He had never been to his hometown, but he felt that it was too poor and he could only farm there. He was also raised by others since he was a child.

"Is your opinion useful? If you don't want to, then you can stay here and we will go back by ourselves."

"Well, then I'll go with you, sister. Don't worry, before I leave, I'll definitely give Fang Shilun a good beating. His family is so despicable that they dared to bring up the marriage."

As soon as he raised his hand, the pain on his hand made him grimace in pain.

"I have my own plans for this matter. Please don't act on your own." Lu Linlang already had an idea in her mind.

The guy who took Lu Zhan to gamble today is Fang Shilun's cousin and also his Bai Yueguang's younger brother. They planned to frame the Lu family.

The next morning, the Fang family actually showed up.

She was dressed neatly and looked at Fang Shilun and Mrs. Fang who were coming, her eyes full of ridicule.

Since they insist on canceling the engagement, let them bear the bad reputation. When I, the victim, return to my hometown, it will further prove the double-dealing of the Fang family.

"Since you want to cancel the engagement, then do so. However, my family no longer has any elders, so we'll need a witness. When the time comes, I'll naturally return the marriage certificate to you."

That was not just the marriage certificate, but also the promise made in the marriage certificate by the old man of the Fang family after he was rescued by the Lu family that if the Fang family broke the oath, their descendants would be extinct.

"Miss Lu, it's good that you're sensible. As for the witness, that's not a problem. I'll ask someone to be a witness later."

"Don't worry, Madam Fang. Your family can even break a vow to exterminate all descendants. I don't know what kind of witnesses you invite will be. I don't trust them. I've already sent someone to invite them, and they will be here soon."

She said this coldly, without asking anyone to sit down, and just drank tea and ate snacks by herself.

"Ms. Lu, please leave some space for us so we can meet again in the future. You are so aggressive, I don't know what your intention is. Even if the marriage between our two families doesn't take place, I am still your elder."

Seeing her attitude, Mrs. Fang said angrily, and Fang Shilun also looked at her with disapproval.

"Oh, what kind of elder are you? An elder who made my son have no descendants? We don't have an elder like you in our family. An ungrateful person is not worthy of being an elder in our family."

"you!"

"Sister, the prefect is here." Yun Yi's arrival interrupted Mrs. Fang's anger. Hearing that the person coming was the prefect, she became the usual amiable Mrs. Fang and bowed to the prefect.

"Sir, I am sorry to bother you again today. I have long heard of your reputation and fairness in the capital, so I have specially asked you to come and bear witness to the cancellation of my engagement with the Fang family."

The reason why Lu Linlang was able to invite the prefect several times was not only because he was a fair and honest person, but also because her father had saved the prefect's younger brother in the past.

But my father once said that such a relationship is best used at critical moments, and it is best not to bother him unless it is a critical moment.

She is about to leave the capital after finishing these things, so this is the best time to use this relationship.

Moreover, in the memories of his original life, this prefect was the person who, according to the maids, was the last to collect the bodies of Lu Zhan and the three cousins ​​of the Yun family.

"It's okay. I already know what happened. Since the Fang family wants to break off the engagement and you agree, I will be a witness.

Now that the elders of the Lu family have passed away, leaving behind a few orphans, if there is no one to bear witness, there will be no guarantee that there will not be gossip in the future. Therefore, I will do you a favor and personally witness the breaking off of the engagement between your two families."

The prefect had never publicly promised to thank the Lu family, but before Earl Zhongyong left, he had privately approached him and promised that if the Lu family was in trouble, he would do his best to help.

"Yunyi, go open the gate. This isn't something shameful between our two families. If anyone wants to see it, let them."

Following her instructions, her younger brothers opened the door, and a lot of onlookers had already gathered outside.

"Lu Linlang, don't go too far. How can you have the nerve to let others see something like this?"

"Why? Isn't it that your family sees that my family has fallen on hard times and doesn't want to keep their promise and wants to cancel the engagement? If this isn't an aboveboard matter, are you planning to suppress it so that when you marry a wife in the future, people will think you're taking a concubine?"

"I was wondering why the Lu family's door was open. It turns out the Fang family came to cancel the engagement. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the Fang family isn't a good family either. Earl Zhongyong saved their old man's life back then, and now that he's gone, they've started to forget the engagement he made with the Lu family."

Most of the people around were of similar rank to the Zhongyong Earl's family, and they also knew the inside story of the marriage contract between the two families.

"People say that those who are righteous are often butchers, while those who are unfaithful are often scholars. We have seen this today."

The words of the onlookers made Mrs. Fang and Fang Shilun unable to raise their heads. Thinking that all this was because of Lu Linlang, the fool whose temperament had changed drastically, they looked at her with even more hatred.

"Since you're here to cancel the engagement, please return the engagement letter and write clearly that you're here to cancel the engagement because your family no longer wishes to continue."

"You, it was clearly something we discussed."

"I didn't discuss this with you. You were the ones who spread the news. Your eldest young master Fang even came here in person yesterday to ask for a break-off. What's going on? Don't you want to cancel the engagement anymore?"
