Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 552 Who Said to Break Off the Relationship

Wenfu.

It was just as Wen Ruyue thought.

Hearing what Wen Ruyue said, Old Madam Wen slammed the table in anger.

"That rebellious girl, she only has the Marquis' Mansion in her eyes, not her family. Fortunately, I was ready to forgive her..."

"Mother, my aunt is going too far. It would be fine if she didn't want to help, but why is she humiliating me like this?"

Madam Wen was also very angry, and she yelled at Madam Wen.

She knew that her sister-in-law was not an easy person to deal with.

That's why she didn't go to the Marquis' Mansion. Going there would only bring humiliation upon herself.

"Your aunt...what did you say to your aunt?"

Different from the anger of the two women in the room.

Old Master Wen knows his eldest granddaughter very well.

If Ruyue hadn't said something excessive in front of her aunt.

He believed that his daughter would never slander her family in front of outsiders.

Wen Ruyue knew that her grandfather was not so easily fooled.

So she had already thought of her excuse on the way.

"It's like this. When my granddaughter went to the Marquis's mansion, the owner of the mansion was not there."

When she said this, everyone in the room understood.

If their family had not broken off the engagement with Li Wansheng, everyone in their house would have gone over there.

That is a very proud thing.

If their family went there, they should sit at the main seat.

Unfortunately, it’s no use thinking about these things now.

So when everyone in the room heard Wen Ruyue mention the Li Mansion, they felt a little upset.

"When did they come back? Why are you silent again, kid?"

Madam Wen urged Wen Ruyue.

"My aunt and her friends came back from dinner at the Li residence. When they returned, the courtyard was already lit."

What Wen Ruyue meant by saying these words was to foreshadow the fact that the Marquis's Mansion did not let her eat last night.

"I waited for them in my aunt's yard. When they came back, I told my uncle and aunt about my marriage with Li Wansheng."

"What did you tell your aunt?"

Old Master Wen stared into Wen Ruyue's eyes and asked.

"Ruyue... just wants to ask my aunt to go to the Li Mansion to put pressure on them to agree to continue the marriage..."

"Your aunt is the most selfish person. She won't agree to it."

Madam Wen has never had a good impression of the Crown Prince's wife.

Ever since she married into the Wen family, she has been dealing with her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law is just as aggressive and difficult to deal with as her mother-in-law.

At that time, the two of them did a lot of things behind each other's backs.

So she took over Wen Ruyue's words and spoke up for her daughter.

"Aunt and uncle... let our family not have any wishful thinking."

Wen Ruyue was a little hesitant when she said these words.

"My granddaughter promised my aunt that if this matter succeeds, I will definitely let that Li Wansheng help the Wen family in the future..."

Wen Ruyue looked at Grandpa Wen with earnest eyes.

"My granddaughter also told my aunt...that as long as Li Wansheng is willing, my granddaughter...even if they want her to be a concubine, my granddaughter is willing..."

Wen Ruyue covered her face with her hands in shame and started crying.

She perfectly portrayed the role of a filial daughter who endured humiliation for her family.

"No, how can this be possible? You are the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, how can you be someone's concubine?"

Mrs. Wen thought it was simply outrageous.

She carefully raised her daughter to be the mistress of the house.

What is a concubine?

It can be said that even in her dreams, she had never dreamed of such an outrageous thing.

Old Madam Wen also looked at Wen Ruyue with a grim expression.

No wonder her unfilial daughter dislikes her eldest granddaughter. It turns out this is the reason.

Even when she heard what Ruyue said just now, she almost burst into curse.

But Mr. Wen had different ideas from them.

He was thinking quickly about what Wen Ruyue said and the benefits she could bring to the Wen family.

If Ruyue did as she said, she would become Li Wansheng's concubine.

With Ruyue's intelligence, even if Li Wansheng married a wife, she would definitely not be Ruyue's opponent.

It's hard to say, but the title of the legal wife has returned to Ruyue's hands.

By that time, would they still worry that Li Wansheng would not support their Wen family?

This is much more cost-effective than marrying Ruyue to another place.

but…

There is a prerequisite for this matter, that is, Ruyue really wants to be someone's concubine.

This had a huge impact on the Wen family's reputation in the capital.

If Ruyue did not become the mistress of the Li family as he wished.

Then their Wen family would be left with nothing and would never be able to hold their heads up again.

It will also have a huge impact on the younger generations in their family, as well as their future marriages and future prospects.

After thinking about it, Mr. Wen still felt.

It is not worthwhile to gamble the reputation of the entire Wen family just for Ruyue.

"Don't mention the matter of being a concubine again. Our Wen family can't afford to lose this person."

After careful consideration, Mr. Wen finally said this to Wen Ruyue.

Because he didn't dare to gamble the entire Wen Mansion on a dream that might never come true.

"Yes... I listened to my grandfather... At that time... When I said that, my uncle and his family got furious and said they wanted to sever ties with the Wen family..."

Wen Ruyue, who was still sobbing, threw out another sentence.

These words made the three people in the room feel like they had heard a bolt from the blue.

"Broken engagement?"

Old Madam Wen screamed.

"What did you say? The Marquis's Mansion actually wants to break off the relationship with us. Tell me... Tell me quickly..."

After all, Madam Wen has lived for most of her life, so there is no way Wen Ruyue could fool her so easily.

She was sensitive enough to hear the loophole in Wen Ruyue's words.

"I know your uncle's temper. He is not someone who can say such cruel words. Who said this?"

Mr. Wen also had a bad feeling.

If these words were spoken by his daughter, it would mean that they were just spoken in anger.

She was angry that Ruyue was embarrassing herself by being willing to be someone else's concubine.

If it was said by the old man in the Hou Mansion...

Then this matter is very serious.

That old man is very stubborn.

Nine times out of ten, what he said will not change.

It was because she understood the old marquis's personality that Mrs. Wen questioned Wen Ruyue so anxiously.

Because last time, because of the matter of Li Wansheng, the old marquis came to their house in a humble manner to negotiate peace.

At that time, they made the old man very angry.

"Yes...it was my granddaughter who said she was willing to be a concubine. My aunt and her family were very angry, so they called the old marquis and his family over..."

"Yue'er...you mean...the one who said he wanted to break off the engagement was the old marquis?"

Madam Wen asked Wen Ruyue in a trembling voice.

She realized belatedly that her daughter might have been in trouble.

And there is the possibility of getting into big trouble.

No wonder the Marquis' Mansion made such a big fuss today to send Yue'er back.

Wen Ruyue fell to her knees with a thud.

"It was my granddaughter who said the wrong thing. Please punish me, grandpa and grandma."
