Main Courtyard
A maid in green hurried in and reported: "Madam, the fourth young lady is here."
Zhang said quickly: "Let her in."
Lady Min, wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, slowly put down her teacup. To be honest, she had never met the legendary Fourth Miss Tang. But when she thought about how her son had been like a fool and repeatedly emphasized in front of the Duke last night that his good health was due to the body-strengthening potion, and had even prepared a generous gift for the Fourth Miss Tang, a hint of coldness flashed in Min's eyes. She never expected that the stupid, ignorant, willful and capricious Fourth Miss Tang had such a seductive ability.
A moment later, Tang Cheng came in with four maids.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyes and scanned Tang Cheng up and down with a critical look.
Tang Cheng was wearing a bright red silk dress today. She had an exquisite appearance, skin as white as snow, and a fierce aura. Her delicate chin was slightly raised, and there was a hint of pride between her brows.
What a flamboyant and bright little girl!
She is not at all like the vain, foolish, ignorant and high-minded Fourth Miss of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion as described in the legend.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo stared at her for a moment and couldn't help but compare her with Xue Ning in her heart. She found that Xue Ning, whom she had carefully cultivated, was actually outdone by a stupid concubine's daughter. Min couldn't believe it.
As soon as Tang Cheng came in, he nodded slightly to Nanyang Marquis' wife Zhang, then turned to a beautiful woman sitting upright in gorgeous clothes next to Zhang. Needless to say, she must be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows and went straight to the point.
"I heard that the Duke's wife came to cancel the engagement!"
In the original owner's memory, the original owner had never greeted Zhang, and Tang Cheng certainly would not kneel to salute. A slight nod to show politeness was enough.
If the other party has a high status, Tang Cheng can also bend and stretch.
As for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, the mother of the child's father, Tang Cheng had no intention of trying to please her.
She has come to cancel the engagement, so they can no longer be a family. Tang Cheng would not do such a depressing and spineless thing. Even if he had not canceled the engagement, Tang Cheng would not have been able to please her. At most, he would have been more polite to her.
There are many good men in the world.
There is no shortage of Wen Huaian.
However, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is truly a beautiful woman with a stunning appearance and graceful demeanor. No wonder the child's father is so handsome.
It’s a pity that the child’s father is an ungrateful person.
If you take advantage of someone and then want to burn the bridge, no way!
Tang Cheng was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Zhang was used to Tang Cheng's rude words and deeds. She lowered her head and drank tea quietly, looking as if she was staying out of it.
Teach the fourth girl a lesson
Impossible!
She is living a comfortable life now and doesn't want to cause trouble.
When Lady Zhenguo of the Duke saw that Tang Cheng did not even greet her and began to question her, her face instantly darkened.
As expected, it was the domineering and rude Fourth Miss Tang. Her decision was right. How could such a person without moral integrity and talent and who didn't know the rules be worthy of being above Xue Ning? She even had to consider being her son's concubine.
"Does Miss Four agree to cancel the engagement?" The attitude of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was equally direct, her voice revealing coldness and extremely subtle disgust.
Tang Cheng glanced at the arrogant Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo, and sat leisurely on the chair. Four maids stood behind her. Linglong, who knew a little martial arts, and Amber, who knew medical skills, approached Tang Cheng.
Amber poured tea and water very tactfully.
"Miss, please have some tea!"
Tang Cheng took the teacup and took a sip.
Humph, don’t think that she didn’t notice the deep disgust hidden in the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo’s wife.
Don't give face to someone who hates you.
Tang Cheng has been spoiled for a long time, and he acts casually and capriciously.
So Tang Cheng just ignored her.
The corners of Zhang's mouth twitched.
The fourth girl still has such a bad temper.
Seeing the expression on the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's face after being turned down by the audacious Fourth Girl, Zhang's depressed mood suddenly improved.
Other servants in the hall: “…”
The ignored Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Tang Cheng who acted as he pleased and didn't take her, the Lady of the Duke, seriously, and her face darkened.
"What an uneducated girl!"
"Madam Tang, the family education of your Nanyang Marquis Mansion is really disappointing."
Zhang curled the corner of her mouth.
"Madam Guogong, you must not generalize. The fourth girl is the lifeblood of the Marquis, and I have never been able to interfere."
What she meant was that Tang Cheng was not taught by her, but was spoiled by the Marquis, so she should not take the blame.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo felt a lump in her throat.
The wife of the Marquis of Nanyang was such a wimp that she was bullied by a concubine.
"How ridiculous! An ungrateful person who would destroy a friend's kindness would actually say that I have no manners. How ridiculous!"
Tang Cheng has never been one to suffer a loss, but being accused of being uncultured, of course he couldn't swallow this humiliation and directly fought back.
If the tiger doesn't show its power, people think she is a sick cat.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked down on her, and the day after she used a strengthening potion on Wen Huaian, it was already very well-mannered of Tang Cheng that she did not lose her temper on the spot.
Zhang was extremely surprised: "..."
The fourth girl's sharp tongue is rare.
Doesn't it mean being brainless and uneducated
Zhang felt that she had been cheated, and she looked at Tang Cheng with a probing look.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who had always lived a life of luxury, was courted and fawned upon by others, and even the current queen gave her some face, was humiliated in public for the first time, and her face instantly turned ashen.
"It's ridiculous to call off an engagement and call it ungrateful. It's ridiculous to cross the river and burn the bridge!"
"Whether Miss Tang Si agrees to cancel the engagement or not, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has canceled the engagement."
"I am here to give Miss Tang the Fourth a piece of advice. Women should be virtuous, polite, and respectful to their elders. Miss Tang the Fourth is a heretic who has no respect for her elders and no talent or virtue. Our Zhenguo Mansion is not blessed and cannot afford to have someone like her."
Tang Cheng drank tea and played with the beautiful teacup in her hand, listening to the Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo misinterpreting her words and belittling and scolding her. When she finished speaking, Tang Cheng sneered and raised her chin slightly.
"Madam, you think I want to marry into your Zhenguo Mansion. I can't help it. Who told me that I have a destiny with your Zhenguo Mansion? I'm pregnant with your grandson."
"Fate is so wonderful!"
It was so wonderful that it made the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo vomit blood.
There are such shameless people in the world!
"By the way, what I meant by ungrateful and breaking the bridge after crossing it was not the breaking of the engagement. The wife of the Duke should know that very well. I don't believe that Wen Huaian didn't tell you that he is in good health. As for breaking the engagement, I have no objection. Just break it off so that I can find a stepfather for the baby in my belly." Tang Cheng looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo with a smile and said indifferently.
If the old does not go, the new will not come.
There was a buzzing in the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's mind, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up.
Could it be that my son’s good health is really related to Fourth Miss Tang
How is this possible
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo refused to believe this fact.
Everyone knows that the strengthening potion is a conspiracy between Nanyang Hou and the old doctor of Jihetang to fool people.
"But before we cancel the engagement, let's do some calculations first." Tang Cheng changed the subject and placed the teacup heavily on the table.
"I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. I must repay a favor, so as not to keep thinking about it and affect my mood."
Zhang: “…”
The four maids: "..."
