Chapter 8 Granddaughter-in-law
The first time she came to her fiancé's house was after she broke off the engagement. Xu Shanshan felt that she should not follow the secular etiquette and be too polite to them, but she was not sure.
"Master Liu, may I ask, if a woman is disliked and her engagement is broken off by the man, how should she treat her ex-fiancé's family?" she asked sincerely.
In this day and age, if a man breaks off a woman's engagement, it would be a huge shame for the woman and her ancestors, and no one should do such a wicked thing.
Mr. Liu has been in a gloomy and abnormal mood recently, and he said angrily on the spot: "Of course I will never have anything to do with him again!"
"But is it necessary to meet?"
"Then don't be nice to them, make them regret their actions, and even better, kneel down and beg for the girl's forgiveness!"
He was just talking nonsense. If the woman really had such ability, the man would never dare to cancel the marriage with her.
"Oh, I see." Xu Shanshan was digesting it slowly.
Maomao lay in Xu Shanshan's sleeve and rolled his eyes: "This old man Liu will definitely regret his careless words at this moment."
-
Led by the servants, Master Liu and Xu Shanshan came to the main hall which exuded an atmosphere of wealth. Tang Gengfu and Tang Genghai were sitting in the main seats. When they saw Master Liu coming in, they did not stand up but just waved their hands casually.
"Prepare tea for Master Liu."
The servant immediately bowed and retreated into the side hall to prepare.
"No need." Master Liu said angrily, but when he met Tang Genghai's cold eyes, he immediately became timid: "I, well, I'm not thirsty. I came here just to ask you frankly, how did my Liu family offend your Tang family that you must kill our Liu family."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and Master Liu does not want to play tricks on them. He slowly maneuvers and tests them. Now that the knife is at his neck, he wants to die knowingly.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Tang Gengfu pretended to be surprised.
If Master Liu had not caught a spy from the Tang family some time ago, and the other party revealed some inside information under torture, he would have really believed that the old fox Tang Gengfu was ignorant of the matter.
"Since you refuse to admit it, I will make a guess. Jiangling City has been suffering from severe drought recently, and the people are starving. Your Tang family has been acting like good people on the surface, openly providing charity and porridge to the hungry people, but in fact, you have secretly teamed up with grain merchants to secretly raise grain prices and purchase large quantities of grain from other families."
"The price of grain in the market has risen to more than ten cents now. No, that was half a month ago. It is probably more than twenty cents now. You want the common people to spend all their property to survive."
"And my Liu family's granary refused to sell grain to your Tang family, and kept selling grain at a low price, so you came up with a vicious plan to kill us, right?"
Tang Gengfu took a sip of tea and said perfunctorily: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I have a witness in my hand."
Tang Genghai sneered, "It's just one witness. Even if you report it to the higher authorities and the city magistrate, no one will believe it. Besides, my Tang family grain shop has no choice but to raise the grain price. Jiangling City and even Zhou County will have no harvest in the next year. I still have a person in Shangqiu to support. It's impossible for me to only do business at a loss."
"you……"
Tang Gengfu looked kind and concerned, "I heard that the Liu family has been in trouble recently. Master Liu, you should take care of yourself and don't go out casually. If something unexpected happens one day, what will happen to the Liu family?"
Master Liu almost choked on his breath and his face turned the color of liver.
Damn it, he couldn’t scold them or win the argument, but he was sure that the Tang family was definitely not innocent!
Father Liu was so angry that his eyes were filled with tears. He turned around and looked at the powerful reinforcements behind him.
Xiaoshan, use your poisonous mouth to poison them and curse them!
Xu Shanshan withdrew her gaze from Tang Gengfu's face. As expected, she lived up to Master Liu's expectations. The first thing she said was -
"To have everything will only cause the Tang family to be dragged into other people's plots and go to ruin. I'm afraid the Tang family's safety will only last until today."
This sentence suddenly came from behind Master Liu. The gentle voice was not as deep and rough as a man's, but it was like a breeze passing by, but it was an extremely cold Siberian wind, which seemed to chill people's hearts.
Here it comes, our Xiaoshan's sharp and poisonous prophecy. Master Liu's eyes lit up immediately.
In contrast, Tang Genghai and Tang Gengfu's faces suddenly turned gloomy.
Everything else is fine, but no one would be happy if they heard someone slandering or badmouthing their family.
Tang Genghai shouted, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
What does that mean? The people he brought from Liubai Village don't even have the qualifications to speak a word?
Master Liu was furious: "This young man is a distinguished guest of my Liu family. I specially invited him..." Asked to save my life? Asked to investigate the cause of the extinction of the clan? How to say it? He was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he straightened his neck and shouted loudly: "Please come and administer justice!"
"Oh, Master Liu, you are confused. You believe any charlatan. Can't inviting a Taoist priest Changqing solve your family's problems?" Tang Genghai mocked.
Tang Gengfu said calmly: "Not everyone can enter our Tang family. Your Liu family's distinguished guest may not be respected by our Tang family."
He didn't show it on his face, but in fact he already had murderous intentions towards the little nun.
"is it?"
Xu Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "It turns out that I, Xu Shanshan, don't even have the qualifications to set foot in the Tang family. No wonder you dared to tear up the engagement with my master so easily."
Xu Shanshan...
Tang Gengfu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This name sounds familiar.
engagement?
This sounds more familiar.
If Xu Shanshan and the engagement were included... Tang Gengfu felt his pupils tremble, and he almost spilled the tea in his hand on the ground with a wave of his hand.
He looked at Xu Shanshan in surprise: "You are - you are..."
Tang Genghai also reacted. He stood up immediately and looked at Xu Shanshan with wide eyes: "Why is it you?"
They had seen Xu Shanshan before, but that was many years ago. In addition, Xu Shanshan now dressed like a fortune teller, with a Taoist nun's hairstyle and Taoist robes. Her simple and shabby appearance made them never take a good look at her.
But why would their Tang family's unmarried granddaughter-in-law, Jiashan's fiancée, be with the Tang family's rival, the Liu family? !
Master Liu was also shocked. Why was the Second Master of the Tang Family, who was fine just now, so out of control now?
Xu Shanshan's dark pupils were as obscure as the deep sea: "It's me. Since the Tang family has agreed to break off the engagement between Tang Jiashan and Xu Shanshan, there are two things to be clarified. One is that the Tang family returns the token of my master, and the other is that they return the marriage certificate."
There are two copies of the marriage certificate, one for each family. Only after they are returned to each other can the marriage be considered completely cancelled.
"When? When did our Tang family say we wanted to cancel the engagement?" Tang Gengfu was furious.
Only then did Master Liu finally understand.
This Xiao Shan is actually the future granddaughter-in-law of their Tang family? !
His heart was trembling.
Oh my God, he actually dragged the granddaughter-in-law of the Tang family to the Tang family to deal with the Tang family, and even wanted to capture their family members and bury them in his own back garden... He is crazy, but is he crazy, or is Xiaoshan crazy?
