Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Beating Them Back to Their Original Form Like Fairies
The Shen Family came to break the engagement, this was a huge shock.
Song Ci couldn’t help but stand up, feeling so agitated that her head began to spin, her body swayed slightly, almost collapsing, which scared Madam to the point her face turned pale, hurriedly reaching out to support her.
Song Madam really felt it was incredulous, a young master from the imposing Prime Minister’s Mansion, actually having a day where he got his engagement broken off, the Shen Family truly had the nerve!
"Mother, please don’t be agitated or angry, your health is most important." Madam Song held her hand tightly, instructing Nanny Gong, "Quickly go get a Calming Pill and serve it to the Old Madam."
Nanny Gong nodded and turned to the cabinet in the inner room to fetch the usual pills.
"Mother, please sit down first." Madam Song helped Song Ci to a seat, giving a cold glare at Madam Shen.
If anything were to happen to Song Ci, she would dare tear this Madam Shen apart on the spot.
Madam Shen’s body stiffened from the glare, she too pleaded with a crying voice, "Old Madam, you mustn’t get agitated, if anything were to happen to you, I would be a sinner for eternity, deserving a thousand deaths."
"Madam Shen speaks better than she sings, it’s one thing if the engagement can’t be finalized, but if you can’t give an acceptable reason, I’m sorry, our Song Family will not let this go!" Madam Song said coldly.
Madam Shen felt a bitter heart, "Old Madam, Madam, it’s not that we don’t want to form this marriage, it’s just that we dare not go against destiny!"
Speaking of breaking the engagement, Madam Shen, too, was filled with tears of bitterness, all about breaking an engagement, why must the Shen Family be the villain instead of the Song Family? After all, this marriage wasn’t fixed yet, just exchanged tokens, just let the Song Family break it off.
Yet, they insisted on making the Shen Family the villain, it would be fine if the Old Madam was well, but if not, the entire Shen Family wouldn’t be able to withstand the Song Family’s revenge.
That person, that person was just bullying our honest Shen Family, waaaah.
Madam Shen felt grudges but didn’t consider that if the Song Family were to break the engagement, Fu Qing’s reputation would truly crumble to dust!
Song Ci had already been forced to take a Calming Pill, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down.
No big deal, isn’t it just a classic broken engagement trope, nothing she can’t handle!
Song Ci wanted to smile but quickly cursed at herself for saying it’s no big deal; she had just found a reasonably satisfactory daughter-in-law, completing one of the tasks left by the previous old lady, and now with one word of broken engagement, everything is forced back to square one!
Damn, was she a demon encountering a magic staff or something? Even turned back to the original form!
Song Ci raged inside, while Madam Song had already guessed something from Madam Shen’s words, her expression suddenly changed slightly.
"What does Madam Shen mean? Against destiny?"
Madam Shen lowered her voice, "Yes, Old Madam, Madam, we really have no choice, the Emperor... said that the birthdates of the young ones don’t match, what else can we say?"
Madam Song and Song Ci exchanged a look.
Birthdates don’t match, that’s a lie, just an excuse for both families to withdraw the marriage.
Madam Shen didn’t think that her niece and daughter had any merit for that person to remember, the Shen Family didn’t have that honor, the only thing is, that person had his eyes on Song Zhiyu, having other plans for his marriage, so he called her husband.
What Madam Shen could think of, Madam Song, who had been a Noble Lady and Madam for years, could naturally also figure out, and she immediately felt heavy-hearted.
Could it be that the Emperor has other plans for Uncle’s marriage?
