"Where can we escape?" Chen Ximei, dressed in plain clothes, walked in quickly, with a solemn and upright look on her face.
Mrs. Chen made a sound and shouted: "What are you doing out here? Are you going to beg him? That's fine, you go and beg him! After all, you have already made an engagement, and he can't ignore you..."
"What am I begging him for?" Chen Ximei smiled slightly and bent down to pick up the broken porcelain fragments on the ground: "Dad, you are losing your temper."
Chen Shilang and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and felt that this very unreliable daughter seemed to have suddenly changed.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Chen said cautiously: "If you are afraid of his rejection, go and ask Mrs. Wu...
She is very satisfied with you. The officials in the Priest Palace have said that you are a good husband and a good match for a man, and you will definitely have two in three years..."
"A good husband is suitable for a man?" Chen Ximei's face turned dark instantly: "What is this? Why didn't I know?"
Mrs. Chen rarely blushed: "Aren't I afraid that the Wu family will be dissatisfied, so I specially asked the officials of the Priest Palace to help you tell your fortune... It's all for your own good."
Concubine Jiang wanted to win over and contain Wu Yanzhuang, and they also wanted to use Wu Yanzhuang to reach a higher level and seek protection.
Chen Ximei was extremely angry, but when she saw the white hair that suddenly appeared on her parents' temples and remembered that they had given her a dowry since she was a child, she lost all her anger.
"That's all..." She sighed: "He will come later and take the initiative to hand over the people and things the Jiang family has hidden here, and then break off the engagement with him. He will be lenient."
"You, you... how do you know?" Chen Shilang's lips trembled.
He asked himself if his work was not unreliable, how come not only Wu Yanzhuang knew about it, but his daughter, who was usually very unreliable, also knew about it?
Mrs. Chen screamed: "I broke off the engagement with him, and he has no scruples anymore. What will you do in the future?"
"Now that you are about to die, what else can you say about the future? Instead of waiting for someone to try to get rid of you and plot against you, it is better to be more conscious, so that you can still retain some favors and live a good life for a few more days."
Chen Ximei's eyes were filled with sadness.
She really admires and likes Wu Yanzhuang.
Although he is quite old, only about ten years younger than her father, his martial prowess and majesty are not comparable to those of a fat civil servant like her father.
Coupled with his character and conduct, he is truly a rare candidate for a good son-in-law.
After all, she has no fate with him.
She sighed and warned her parents: "If someone dares to come, they must be protected. Don't do it forcefully."
Chen Shilang thought of the heads that Wu Yanzhuang had beheaded at the fireworks festival every day, and the bones became crispy.
Looking around my home, I squeezed out a few old tears: "It's all because of my father's greed for wealth that he harmed you."
"If you know this, you are not stupid at all!"
Wu Yanzhuang walked in quickly, and the soldiers he brought were quick and accurate, and they knocked all the Chen family servants to the ground.
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she trembled into a ball. She hurriedly pulled Chen Ximei behind her to protect her, and said with trembling lips: "You, you, General Wu, don't act like this!"
Wu Yanzhuang looked calm and glanced across Chen Ximei's face. He paused for a moment and then looked at Chen Shilang again: "Chen Shilang, this is the last chance."
"If you take the initiative to confess, I will report it to Your Majesty impartially, which shows your loyalty. If you still insist on stubbornness to the end, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Chen Shilang's face was ashen and he knelt down slumped: "I said it, I said it all!" (To be continued)
