The main house in Chen Lanlan’s yard!
Mrs. Chen sat high in the main seat, next to Father Chen's seat.
"I wonder what they are here for today?" Father Chen opened his mouth first and said to the Yang family.
A rich-looking woman came from the Yang family. She was dressed quite elegantly and had fair skin. However, there was a calculating look in her eyes that made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Well, haven't we heard that the fifth lady in our house is seriously ill and may not survive, and she was even disfigured a few days ago. Do you think this marriage is going to happen?"
The woman didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clearly expressed.
"Then you want to break off the engagement?" Father Chen said with a cold face as he sat upright.
"Haha, yes, yes, look at Miss Fifth, she will only suffer if she goes to our place. After all, a small family like ours is still not as good as the mansion of the Lord Shangshu."
The woman looked at Father Chen's cold expression and said angrily.
"If Ji Ran is like this, then the marriage won't be concluded!" After the woman finished speaking hesitantly, Father Chen was already furious.
Who are these people? His daughter is not dead yet, but he keeps saying that he is going to die one by one. Sure enough, he comes from a small family, and he cannot speak. Father Chen is so angry that he wants to beat someone. .
If he had known that the other party was from such a family, he would never have agreed to point his daughter to their Yang family.
"Hey, don't, don't, in-laws, our Lanlan is fine, she will be fine, this marriage cannot be canceled! Do you think this is good? How about I add half of the previous dowry?"
At this time, the old lady jumped out and tried her best to prevent the Yang family from canceling the engagement, and continued to add a dowry to Lan Lan, which made Chen's father not even know what was going on.
What's going on with the mother? Why does she have to marry off Lan Lan? And it looks like she's trying to marry off Lan Lan.
When did his become so despicable that he had to pay for it in order for anyone to want it
"This, this!" The woman was a little hesitant, as if she was tempted by the dowry.
Originally, the dowry given to the fifth lady by the Minister of War was quite large, at least in their family background, it would never have been that much. Now that they had to add half of it, the dowry would be quite a small amount.
Besides, if someone dies after marrying, then the dowry will belong to them. If you have money, it would be good to marry a step-brother.
The woman's eyes were shining, and the calculations in her heart were going loudly.
"Mom, why do you have to marry Lan Lan in a hurry? Can you bear it when she is like this now?" Father Chen couldn't help it anymore and asked Mrs. Chen.
Speaking of Lan Lan's condition, the old lady showed a very distressed look on her face, but the next second, the old lady strengthened Chen Lanlan's determination to get married now.
"Do you still think that I am your mother? If you want to remain my filial son, don't stop me. I have the final say on this matter!"
The old lady pushed her youngest son away and said angrily and firmly.
"I don't agree, my daughter will not marry!" came a somewhat hoarse but equally firm voice.
After Chunfeng said that Lan Lan could still be saved, Mrs. Chen rushed out to tell the old lady and her husband the good news.
But when she arrived at the door, she heard that the old lady was going to marry her granddaughter! I was so angry that I was about to explode.
Seeing the old lady's persistence, she finally burst into her own little universe.
At this time, Chen Qingshu, who heard the argument, also followed him out. Although he did not speak, the look in his eyes as he stood behind his mother showed his attitude.
"What? Are you going to rebel? Are you not listening to what the old lady says?"
The old lady was furious when she saw that her daughter-in-law, who had always been docile and had never even spoken loudly in front of her, stood up against her.
"Mother, we have no intention of targeting you. It's just that this important matter of marriage was originally ordered by the parents to find a matchmaker. You said before that you pointed out a good family for Lan Lan, and we agreed. But look at what this family is like now. Virtue, Lan Lan is not doing well now, but she keeps saying that she wants to break off the engagement. If Lan Lan gets married in the future, will she have a good life? I will decide on Lan Lan’s marriage with Shao Qing, so you can rest assured and take good care of yourself. Bar!"
Mrs. Chen's words were not tactful at all. Not only did she slap the old lady in the face, she also bluntly told the old lady not to meddle in her own business.
After hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she was out of breath. She turned to look at her younger son, and found that his younger son had no intention of helping her. The good impression she had on this little daughter-in-law was instantly wiped out in her heart.
In fact, Mrs. Chen is also a very smart person. She knows that her husband is a filial son, so she would definitely not be able to say those words.
But there are some things that have to be said, so she has to say it. For the happiness of her daughter, she is willing to be this evil person.
"Ha! Old lady, I'm not dead yet, are you so eager to seize power?" The old lady sat back on the chair angrily.
"The reputation of a girl's family is the most important. What good destination can a woman whose engagement has been broken off and whose face has been disfigured have? Do you think I am harming her?" The old lady saw that she was too tough, so she had no choice but to be soft. Yes.
It's just that today's little daughter-in-law really impressed her.
"Even if Lan Lan never gets married, we parents will support her and we will never let her marry such a lowly person into such a low-class family!" Mrs. Chen said so powerfully that it seemed impossible to refute her.
"Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean by a low-class family? If your old lady hadn't given you a lot of gifts, who would care about someone like your girl? We've canceled the engagement. Look at your family's illness. Who would want a dying girl?"
The woman said with a vulgar snort.
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she wanted to tear the woman's mouth apart. She deserved to be damned for daring to insult her daughter like this.
His hands were already clenched into fists under the wide sleeves, and the slightly pointed nails were embedded in the thin white skin, but he didn't feel any pain.
If it hadn't been for the years of good upbringing that reminded her not to behave like such a vulgar person, Mrs. Chen would have already pounced on the woman and started to struggle with her.
"I want it!" came another firm voice.
Everyone turned to look at the door in astonishment, and saw a man with a graceful figure and a dignified appearance who made people feel as gentle as jade at first glance walking in.
Who is this person? How come he is here? In Lanlan's yard
Everyone before had been so concerned about Lan Lan's condition that they didn't notice anyone else in the yard.
