Su Niang was surprised. Her mind had been outside these days and she didn't know what happened in the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Zhao then said: "The Fourth Miss and the Shen family have called off their engagement."
Su Niang yelled, very shocked.
Chen Yaying actually broke off the engagement?
In this kind of thing, no matter which party takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, the woman will definitely suffer in the end.
Moreover, if one person breaks off the engagement, it will also affect the other unmarried girls in the family.
Fortunately, Chen Sirui is still young and it will be more than ten years before she gets married.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "You go get my clothes, and I'll go to Madam's house. I heard that Sister Ying entered Madam's house crying. As my sister-in-law, I have to go and take a look.
That’s all.”
Su Niang said worriedly: "Can your body bear it?"
In order to take care of Chen Sirui last night, Zhao didn't close her eyes all night.
It wasn't until dawn that I took a short nap.
Mrs. Zhao smiled sadly: "Why can't you bear it?"
Su Niang had no choice but to go get some clothes from the rack and put them on Mrs. Zhao, and the master and servant went out.
Halfway through the journey, they met Fu Zhao and his party.
Zhao's expression froze. As long as she remembered her suspicion of Fu Zhao in the past, she still felt embarrassed when she saw Fu Zhao now.
In the beginning, she was the one who alienated Fu Zhao intentionally or unintentionally.
Fu Zhao walked over calmly and called out calmly: "Sister-in-law Fourth, are you also going to your mother's house?"
Zhao's expression softened slightly and nodded.
The two of them walked forward side by side.
Fu Zhao glanced at the thick clothes Zhao was wearing. Now she had put on a spring shirt. Sometimes she would still feel hot after standing under the sun for a while.
Fu Zhao calmly looked back.
Ms. Zhao felt a little embarrassed for not speaking, so she took the initiative to speak: "Did you also hear about Sister Ying?"
Fu Zhao knew the inside story, but pretended not to know, "I just heard about it, and I was thinking of going to my mother's place to see Sister Ying."
Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "When something like this happens, Sister Ying will always suffer."
Fu Zhao felt in his heart that this marriage was a good thing.
If you marry someone like Shen Han, you will suffer losses for the rest of your life!
She thought that Chen Yaying would still be hesitant, but she didn't expect that Chen Yaying would make such a decisive decision to break off the engagement this time.
When the two entered Mrs. Chen's house, they saw Mr. Ma and Mr. Qian also there.
Chen Yaying was crying in Ma's arms.
After the two saluted, they sat down in their respective seats.
Mrs. Zhao worriedly asked: "Sister Ying, are you okay?"
Chen Yaying was so convulsed that she could not speak. Ma had no choice but to answer for her: "Oh, how can it be better?"
Ms. Zhao was silent for a moment, "Sister Ying, with your family background and temperament, you will definitely be able to find someone better. Don't be sad."
Mrs. Chen suddenly slammed the table hard and said with a sullen face: "Then the Shen family is so unkind! Why don't they just cancel the engagement and go around talking bad about Sister Ying?"
Outside, the Hou Mansion was both prosperous and devastated.
Chen Yaying's reputation is not good, and no one else can escape from it.
That day, Chen Yaying knelt in front of her for two hours just to cancel her marriage to the Shen family.
Mrs. Chen had a headache. She had mentioned Chen Yaying repeatedly before, but Chen Yaying was still determined to marry into the Shen family.
Now that the marriage certificates of both families have been changed, Chen Yaying actually regrets it again.
Sure enough, he still has the temper of a child.
Mrs. Chen agreed for the sake of Marquis Dingbei.
Madam Shen was still polite when handing back the Geng Tie. Why did Madam Shen change her attitude as soon as she left the Marquis' Mansion?
Nowadays, people outside are saying that Chen Yaying has a bad temper and has an eccentric personality, so she broke off the engagement. Who else could it be if it wasn't the Shen family?
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she slapped the table again.
In the Shen family, Mrs. Shen was also so angry that she was pounding the table.
She glared at her son and asked: "If you break off the engagement, you'll break off the engagement. You are a grown man, you have to be able to take it up and let it go! Did you ask people to spread those words outside?"
Shen Han crossed his legs and said nonchalantly: "Why, even if I was the one who told someone to tell her, it's still the truth! She just has a bad temper and doesn't have the qualities of a lady at all."
If he were not worried about being beaten by Dingbei Hou, he would still want people to spread the word that Chen Yaying was a dishonest person and would no longer be perfect.
What he is telling people now is just some innocuous words. Even if the people in Dingbeihou Mansion knew about it, they would not dare to do anything to him without evidence.
So he was not afraid at all.
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she stretched out her finger and tapped Shen Han's forehead fiercely: "You just know these words well. Why do you want people to spread the word? When the people in the Hou Mansion think about it, they will definitely think that it is us. My family did this on purpose, offending the Marquis Mansion, and it does no good to our family!"
Shen Han snorted, without any intention of admitting his mistake.
Mrs. Shen sighed, "Okay, okay, take care of your people and don't let people go out and talk nonsense. After a while, everyone will forget about this."
Shen Han came out of Mrs. Shen's room, his face suddenly darkened.
Shen Han has always been worried about the fact that Chen Yaying not only failed to handle his affairs well, but also ruined his good deeds that day.
He always thought that Chen Yaying was a plaything in his hand. He asked Chen Yaying to go west, but Chen Yaying did not dare to go east.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yaying not only didn't listen to him, but also stepped on him!
After the two families broke off their engagement, it would be difficult for him to get close to Fu Zhao in the future.
Shen Han couldn't swallow the feeling in his heart, so he called his confidants: "You, please go outside and spread some words..."

Fu Zhao was in Chen Feng's study, sorting the books on the bookshelf with his own hands.
Now there were two maids in the study room at once, and Chen Feng did not intend to accept any new ones, so he also sent several other maids who were not used to him to other places.
The manpower in the study was reduced sharply, and Zimeng was suddenly overwhelmed, so Fu Zhao helped with what he could.
For example, when organizing Chen Feng's desk and bookshelf, generally only people who are highly trusted by Chen Feng can touch these places.
Siqi said at the door: "Master, Hu Mao is here."
Fu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Why is he here at this time? Let him in."
Originally, Hu Mao and Ji Feiyang were sent by her to keep an eye on Chen Wen's outer room.
But she was afraid of disturbing the situation and delaying Chen Feng's plan, so she asked Hu Mao and Ji Feiyang to secretly take a look at the property in her name.
The betrothal gift given by the Marquis Mansion was generous at first, but judging from the way she spends money now, she will definitely spend it all one day.
It is convenient for men to walk outside, so it is most appropriate to leave it to these two people.
Chen Feng also gave her the physical deeds of those two people, just to make them loyal to her alone.
Fu Zhao thought Hu Mao was here to talk about her property, so he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and sat down.
