The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

The whole family was shocked, especially Qin Yonghua.

Will he become incredibly wealthy in the future?

He originally intended to make a name for himself in the business world, but unexpectedly, he became incredibly wealthy.

Qin Yonghua knew that his younger sister's prediction was very accurate, and he was somewhat excited.

The Marquis of Zhong'an and his wife were not angry when they heard this.

She deliberately said harsh things to get Qin Yezhong to agree to annul the engagement.

Now, the goal has been achieved.

The two families tore up the marriage certificate. Marquis Zhong'an got up to leave when suddenly a servant came in to report: "My lord, my lady, the Duke of Wei has arrived!"

Qin Ye was surprised.

He didn't have much interaction with the Duke of Wei, so why would the Duke of Wei come to visit him?

Marquis Zhong'an was also surprised.

Who is the Duke of Wei? He is a veteran of two dynasties, a first-rank Grand Tutor, and even His Majesty treats him with respect. The Prince of War speaks to him with utmost deference.

Marquis Zhong'an had long wanted to get to know them, but had been struggling to find a way. As a result, the Duke of Wei actually came to visit Marquis Zhong'an's residence in person.

Marquis Zhong'an was filled with jealousy. Why? Why was Duke Wei allowed to personally visit Qin Yezhong's residence?

"Quickly, let the Duke of Wei in!" Qin Yezhong instructed his servant.

Marquis Zhong'an felt that although his purpose in coming to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence was somewhat awkward, since the Duke of Wei had already come, it would be unreasonable for him, as a subordinate, not to greet him. Therefore, he did not rush to leave and wanted to wait for the Duke of Wei to come in so that he could greet him before leaving.

Qin Wanying also felt that the Duke of Wei's arrival was suspicious.

She glanced at her third brother's fate again and found that it had changed.

Wow, Third Brother, congratulations!

The whole family was taken aback. Congratulations on what?

I wanted to listen carefully, but there was no sound, and I was getting anxious.

The Duke of Wei walked into the mansion from the gate, feeling uneasy.

Duke Wei is now sixty years old and has never had a son. He only had a daughter, Wu Hanxiang, when he was in his forties.

The daughter had met Qin Yonghua before. Seeing his tall and handsome appearance, his intelligence, calmness, and emotional stability, she fell in love with him at first sight.

From then on, he lost his appetite and couldn't eat or drink.

She tried to strike up a conversation with Qin Yonghua several times, but Qin Yonghua, perhaps to avoid suspicion, only responded politely and was unwilling to have much contact with her.

He also subtly mentioned in his conversation that he was already engaged.

This broke Wu Hanxiang's heart.

Later, I found out that the woman Qin Yonghua was betrothed to was Chen Lingshuang, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhong'an.

Wu Hanxiang was very envious of Chen Lingshuang, who was able to enter into a marriage contract with such a good man.

She would secretly cry in her boudoir from time to time.

Duke Wei noticed Wu Hanxiang's unusual behavior and, after repeated questioning, learned that Wu Hanxiang had fallen in love with Qin Yonghua, the third young master of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion.

The Duke of Wei was very worried about his daughter's condition.

The Duke's mansion and the Marquis's mansion were never a good match.

Even if Wu Hanxiang were to marry a prince or the crown prince, it would still be a good marriage.

Unfortunately, he took a fancy to the son of a marquis, and Qin Yonghua had no ambition for the imperial court, only wanting to do business.

Moreover, this merchant was already engaged, and the engagement had been arranged long ago.

Duke Wei patiently persuaded his daughter, explained the pros and cons to her, and finally pointed out that there was absolutely no possibility between her and Qin Yonghua.

Wu Hanxiang said that if there was absolutely no possibility between her and Qin Yonghua, she would rather remain unmarried for life.

Duke Wei was disappointed in his daughter, but he was helpless against her late-in-life daughter.

Seeing his daughter grow thinner and more haggard each day, the Duke of Wei finally decided to swallow his pride and go to the Marquis of Dingbei.

They have a prior marriage agreement; at worst, we can give the Marquis of Zhong'an some compensation.

Qin Yezhong seems to be an upright person; it's uncertain whether he will break off the engagement because of this.

If the other party refuses to break off the engagement, you can only try to persuade them with gentle persuasion.

At worst, I'll just throw away my pride!

Duke Wei walked into the main hall with trepidation.

Four people stood up to greet him, two men and two women.

I almost blacked out.

I never expected that Marquis Zhong'an would be here too!

Oh no, they must be discussing marriage here!

This is how to do!

As soon as the Duke of Wei entered the room, all four of them bowed to him.

The Duke of Wei felt rather embarrassed and looked at the Marquis of Zhong'an, saying, "What a coincidence, the Marquis of Zhong'an is here too."

Marquis Zhong'an looked embarrassed and wanted to say a few words to leave quickly, but Qin Yezhong spoke up.

"Yes, they're in a hurry to break off the engagement," Qin Yezhong said irritably.

Marquis Zhong'an was even more embarrassed upon hearing this. He also felt resentment towards Qin Yezhong for saying such things in front of the Duke of Wei!

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Wei's eyes lit up.

I thought they came to set a wedding date, but it turns out they came to call off the engagement?

Great, great! Heaven is on my side!

He quickly pressed on, "Wasn't the marriage arranged several years ago? How can it be called off so easily?"

Qin Yezhong glanced at Marquis Zhong'an and said, "Isn't it because they look down on my son Qin Yonghua for being a businessman, and they also think that my Dingbei Marquis's mansion is incompetent?"

"You...you're making false accusations!" Marquis Zhong'an said, his face flushed.

He was eager to get to know the Duke of Wei, but now that Qin Yezhong had said that, what would the Duke of Wei think of him?

Qin Yezhong sneered: "I'm making baseless accusations, do you dare to do it but not admit it!"

Duke Wei had never liked Marquis Zhong'an, thinking he was a snobbish and petty person.

He began, "I remember Qin Yonghua once risked his life to save the daughter of the Marquis of Zhong'an, but now he's here to annul the engagement. I'm afraid that's inappropriate."

Marquis Zhong'an blushed.

The people behind the screen listened to the Duke of Wei speak and felt very pleased.

Duke of Wei, if you can speak, then say a few more words!

"Has the engagement been called off?" Duke Wei turned to look at Qin Yezhong.

Qin Yezhong: "I've already backed out! My Qin family disdains to marry into such a despicable family!"

Upon hearing Qin Yezhong call him a petty scoundrel, the Marquis of Zhong'an and his wife were furious, but they dared not retaliate because the Duke of Wei was present.

Duke Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued, "Was the marriage certificate torn up?"

"I tore it up, I just tore it up!" Qin Yezhong replied.

The Duke of Wei was overjoyed. Things had gone too smoothly!

Duke Wei continued, "In that case, how about I marry my daughter to your son, Qin Yonghua?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire main hall fell silent.

Qin Yezhong and his wife both doubted that they had misheard.

The Marquis of Zhong'an and his wife could not believe their ears.

The three people behind the screen, apart from Qin Wanying, all gaped in astonishment.

what?

Did something go wrong?

Duke Wei suggested that his daughter marry Qin Yonghua.

Who is the daughter of the Duke of Wei? She is capable of marrying into any noble family or high-ranking official!

Now he's actually willing to marry his daughter to his third brother?

Qin Yezhong confirmed again: "Duke of Wei, did you just say you wanted to marry your daughter to my son Qin Yonghua?"

The Marquis of Zhong'an and his wife pricked up their ears; they really doubted whether they had misheard.

"Yes, what I just said was that I wanted to marry my daughter to your son, Qin Yonghua!"

"My daughter has long admired your son, but he was engaged, so she never dared to speak to the Marquis of Dingbei about it. Now that the engagement has been dissolved, she can finally speak of it openly and honestly!"
