I was dumped while cultivating immortality in my later years, and the system only came to me after I

"Ling'er, since the master has taken a liking to you, it is a blessing for our Jia family. You must remember to serve the master well and not be negligent in the slightest, understand?" Jia Zhengjing instructed Jia Ling'er.

Jia Ling'er could only nod silently.

“But Father, didn’t you say before that you would arrange a marriage for me with a top-grade steel bar?” Jia Ling’er asked.

engagement.

For Jia Ling'er, this was a completely unfounded matter. She immediately shook her head and said, "Don't think too much about the engagement. I will accept the marriage. From now on, you just need to serve the master well."

"Someone come here! Quickly tidy up the young lady's room. Can't you see she's back?"

"Listen carefully, everyone. From now on, she will be the eldest daughter of the Jia family, the only eldest daughter."

As for Liu Qingqing and Jia Yuanyuan, their lifespans were both reduced by thirty years. One is in her seventies or eighties, and the other is in her forties. Most importantly, the mother and daughter offended Lord Chu Zhongtian.

He no longer dared to take care of the mother and daughter.

I really wish I could slap those two women to death right now.

He made his decision: to send the mother and daughter to a manor outside the city, and he never wanted to see them again.

That's it.

Of course, there's one more thing: to annul the engagement.

This time, Jia Ling'er's fiancé was the heir of the Duke of Ying in the Great Qian Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was frail and sickly and did not live long. That's why he searched all over the capital for a wife to bring him good luck and hopefully improve his condition. However, things didn't go as planned, and he couldn't find a single person who agreed.

Finally, as a last resort, they had no choice but to resort to coercion and bribery.

We found Jia Zhengjing.

Liu Qingqing was also unwilling for her daughter to marry such a dying man, so she used a little trick and thought of Jia Ling'er from the countryside.

Only then was Jia Ling'er brought back and married to the Duke of Ying in place of Jia Yuanyuan.

For the Crown Prince of England, it doesn't matter who he marries; what matters is that a woman is willing to marry him.

This time, upon hearing that Jia Zhengjing wanted to break off the engagement, they were furious.

The Duke of England was naturally unwilling, and was extremely angry.

"You, Jia Zhengjing, how dare you break off the engagement? You don't respect the Duke of Ying's mansion at all. Do you know the consequences of offending the Duke of Ying's mansion?"

"Guards! Go to the Jia residence! I want to see if Jia Zhengjing has gotten the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard to be so insolent."

Suddenly.

The guards of the British Duke's mansion quickly assembled.

They headed straight for the Jia family mansion.

Inside the Jia Mansion.

Chu Zhongtian had completely changed by this point.

On the way, he kept trying to please Jia Ling'er, but now Jia Ling'er was trying to please him instead.

Of course, most of it was at Jia Zhengjing's request.

Knowing Chu Zhongtian's identity and power, he was an incredibly reliable ally.

"My lord, I have already sent someone to the Duke of England to annul the engagement. My daughter is now a free woman. When will your wedding with my daughter take place?" Jia Zhengjing asked Chu Zhongtian with trepidation.

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "You can handle the marriage arrangements."

"That's good."

These words immediately made Jia Zhengjing extremely happy.

He quickly replied, "Sir, I've had someone check the date, and it's an auspicious day in three days, perfect for the wedding."

Chu Zhongtian nodded and said, "Okay."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Jia Zhengjing was overjoyed.

Just as Jia Zhengjing was busy with his work.

Outside the Jia mansion, the Duke of Yingguo arrived in person with his men, and angry voices rang out.

"Jia Zhengjing, get out here right now."

"bump."

The door was then kicked open.

The Duke of England stormed in angrily with a large group of men.

Having just witnessed Chu Zhongtian's disturbance at the Jia Mansion, and now encountering the Duke of Yingguo's disturbance as well, Jia Zhengjing could only rush out in a hurry. Upon seeing the Duke of Yingguo, his expression immediately changed, and he said with a bitter smile, "Duke of Yingguo has come to the Jia Mansion, is it to discuss the matter of annuling the engagement?"

"To be honest, I really have no choice but to call off the engagement."

"Cut the nonsense."

The Duke of England sneered, "Jia Zhengjing, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I'm here to inform you to hand over your daughter. I'll take her away to marry off my son and bring him good luck. I'll immediately become powerful. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite and attacking you. You should know my methods; they're not something you can handle."

Jia Zhengjing said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, please keep your voice down. My daughter has been taken a liking to by a certain official, who wants to force her into marriage. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to annul the engagement."

“If things go wrong, my entire Jia family could be punished.”

The Duke of England clearly didn't believe in such nonsense and sneered, "I'd like to see who's scaring you like this."

With that, he barged straight into the courtyard.

At this moment, Chu Zhongtian was enjoying himself immensely under Jia Ling'er's care, drinking fine wine and listening to a little tune.

Indeed, Jia Ling'er played the zither beautifully; her music lingered for days, gradually captivating Chu Zhongtian and making him unable to extricate himself.

Just as I was getting really into listening...

The Duke of England stormed in with a large group of men and surrounded him, instantly ruining his pleasant mood.

Chu Zhongtian was so angry that his face turned green.

She raised her head and gave Jia Zhengjing, who had followed her in, a cold look that nearly made Jia Zhengjing cry.

He hurriedly looked at Chu Zhongtian, afraid that Chu Zhongtian would blame him.

The Duke of England sized Chu Zhongtian up and down, then sneered, "It was you who stole my daughter-in-law. Who are you? Do you know that she is the daughter-in-law of the Duke of England? You are showing no respect for the Duke of England's mansion."

Chu Zhongtian said, "You've come at the right time. I'd like to take this opportunity to formally inform you that from now on, Jia Ling'er is my woman. No one is allowed to take her away. If anyone dares to take her away, I won't hesitate to wipe out their entire family."

A powerful killing intent erupted instantly, vast and mighty, like a deadly weapon, and rushed towards the Duke of England.

boom.

The British Duke was instantly sent flying like a scarecrow by this powerful force.

The Duke of England, to become a duke, must have considerable power.

Peak Nascent Soul cultivation.

However, in front of Chu Zhongtian, it was like an infant, easily suppressed by Chu Zhongtian.

At this point, the Duke of England knew he had hit a brick wall. He hurriedly and humbly said, "Your Excellency, please spare my life. I was blind and offended you. I will leave now. From this day forward, the marriage between the Jia family and my Duke of England's family is null and void."

"Later, I will present you with a generous gift. I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, the Duke of England did not dare to raise his head at all, keeping it down until he left the Jia family mansion, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the Jia family, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked as if he had been pulled out of the water.

"Jia Zhengjing, who exactly is this son-in-law of yours?" the Duke of Yingguo asked, his mind racing. He had almost thought he was going to die.
