Chapter 8 Going to Break off the Engagement?

She would retreat after slapping him in the face!

"Madam Zhou hasn't been to our mansion for a long time. Our Madam has been waiting in the main hall. Please go in quickly!"

Song Huishu had already told the Bulter Song in advance what the Zhou family was going to do, and the Bulter Song knew what to do at the moment.

However, Madam Earl Zhongyong did things in an unconventional way. She stood still at the gate.

"The Song family is so well-educated. How dare you bully Bao'er in front of all the noble ladies in the capital? People of Earl Zhongyong's Manor dare not go into such kind of family! If you have anything to say, just say it at the door. Ask Song Huishu and Wang Yingxue to come out!"

Song Qingyu slapped Zhou Bao'er in front of so many people, which was equivalent to slapping the whole Earl Zhongyong's Manor in the face!

Li Rufei had always looked down upon Song Qingyu, who was as dull as wood. However, Song Qingyu had been servile in front of her every time, making her feel comfortable. In addition, Song Huishu also had a promising future, so she reluctantly accepted Qingyu as her daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, this b*tch, who had always been a pushover, dared to bully her daughter, who was as precious as a jewel. Moreover, Song Qingyu didn't come to Earl Zhongyong's Manor to ask for forgiveness in the past few days!

If she did not tear Qingyu's face off and trample it on the ground today, how could she control Song Qingyu in the future? How could Earl Zhongyong's Manor have any face in the Capital in the future?

Therefore, even though Bulter Song had repeatedly invited her, Li Rufei refused to enter the house because she wanted to humiliate the Song family at the door.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Bulter Song broke out in a cold sweat. He even saw a few expensive carriages parked at the back of the crowd. They seemed to be attracted by the bustling scene and stopped to watch the fun!

"Butler Song, Madam Earl Zhongyong knows that they have done something wrong to Song's Manor. Today, they came to apologize with gifts. Madam wants to apologize to Song's Manor in the presence of the neighbors. Bulter Song, why do you stop her!"

Zhou Bao'er saw Song Qingyu get out of the carriage and walk over slowly. Song Qingyu's skin was as tender as snow, and her almond-shaped eyes were shining. Because of Zhou Bao'er's ordinary appearance, she even looked a little manly, she hated these beautiful young ladies the most in daily life.

She didn't dare to offend those noble ladies, but why did Song Qingyu, a blockhead, have such a good-looking face?

Today, Song Qingyu was completely different from the dull and weak person she used to be. Dressed in plain clothes, she was like a pearl that had been brushed away dust, shining brightly, which made Zhou Bao'er grit her teeth with hatred. Zhou Bao'er wished she could cut Song Qingyu's face and trample Song Qingyu hard into the mud.

"Bah! The good education of the Song family has raised a shameless daughter like you, who flirts with others in broad daylight. First Miss? You're worse than a prostitute in a brothel. How dare you ask our Earl Zhongyong's Manor to apologize? Don't you know that you're not qualified!"

Li Rufei was so angry at Qingyu's words that she almost fainted. She began to speak dirty language as if she didn't care about money.

After Li Rufei heard about what had happened at the scene from her daughter, she had been waiting for Song Qingyu at home to kowtow and apologize to her. She had figured out how to torture Song Qingyu and make things difficult for Song Qingyu.

Li Rufei was going to smash Song Qingyu's white and tender face with a steel plate, ruining her face. Li Rufei would also ask the servants to take off her clothes so that Song Qingyu would no longer have the face to stand up straight in front of Earl Zhongyong's Manor.

But what did Song Qingyu just say? What did she mean by saying Earl Zhongyong's Manor come and apologize!

When she saw Song Qingyu standing outside as if nothing had happened, she recalled that Bao'er had lost so much face that Bao'er didn't even dare to go out in the past few days. Why was this lady so comfortable?

Li Rufei lost her mind immediately, rushed forward, and intended to grab Song Qingyu by the hair and beat her up.

Song Qingyu had been prepared for this. Earl Zhongyong's Manor was an aristocratic family of generals. After Qingyu married into Earl Zhongyong's Manor in her previous life, the mother and daughter thought that she hindered Zhou Chengling's future. They often beat and scolded her, and the words they spat out were extremely harsh and unpleasant, which made her sad and angry.

As soon as Li Rufei moved, Qingyu knew what she was going to do. Qingyu clamped the embroidery needles that she had hidden on her fingertips, covered her head with her hand, and thrust needles into the palm of Li Rufei's hand as if she was afraid of being attacked!

"Ah! What's that? It hurts!"

The nerves of the fingertips are linked to the heart. Li Rufei was caught off guard. She felt a sharp pain in her palm as if something had pierced her heart.

"You little bitch, how dare you plot against me!"

The onlookers were already looking at the inside story of the big family. Sure enough, this well-dressed woman dared to curse at the door of the big family and hit them at the disagreement.

The noble ladies who were watching were shocked. Earl Zhongyong's Manor was an aristocratic family of generals, so it was understandable that they had a fierce family culture. However, they decided to stay away from Zhou Bao'er in the future because Earl Zhongyong's Manor could speak so dirty words on the street. They didn't want Zhou Bao'er to be like her mother, who would hit people at the slightest disagreement. They couldn't afford to lose face.

Li Rufei was not in the mood to listen to the discussion around her at the moment. She held her stinging palm and cursed with a red face, but she didn't dare to step forward for fear of being hurt again.

Song Qingyu thought it was ridiculous. In her previous life, she was as afraid of Li Rufei and Zhou Bao'er as of a tiger. Even from a distance, she would tremble with fear when she heard Li Rufei's roar.

Now it seemed that they were just a paper tigers, and a few embroidery needles were enough to scare Li Rufei so much that she didn't dare to step forward!

Song Qingyu slowly put down her hand. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of tears and her face was full of sadness.

"Madam Zhou, I know that your Zhou family is Earl's Manor and that Dachu Country relies heavily on you. My father is only the Minister of Ministry of Revenue. Our Song family can't afford to offend you. Therefore, I usually accept it either you beat or scold me. But today, in public, Madam Zhou, you also treat me as your maid and servant and humiliate me like this. Does your Zhou family take advantage of your power to bully me like this? What on earth do you want to do to let me go!"

Her voice was miserable and sorrowful, and her expression seemed to contain infinite grievance. In her words, Li Rufei accused her because of Zhou family bullied civil officials and their families with the favor of the emperor. Most of the people living in this alley were civil officials, so they glared at Li Rufei as if Zhou family were enemies when people heard her words.

"What important officials? Ever since the old Earl was injured and retired, the Earl Zhongyong's Manor hasn't gone to the battlefield for many years. The current Earl Zhongyong didn't even order soldiers. They're just lying in bed and enjoying what their ancestors left. How dare they be so arrogant and insult the legitimate daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Revenue on the street!" A noble lady who knew the inside story said.

"That's right. First Miss Song is usually dull, but she's also the legitimate daughter of a second-rank official. Zhou Bao'er slandered Miss Song in public a few days ago, and now Zhou Bao'er brings people to scold her. Zhou Bao'er is too arrogant."

The madam of Earl Zhongyong's Manor was stupid, the legitimate daughter was domineering, and the two men were incompetent. In the previous life, Song Qingyu covered up for them again and again. She was misunderstood by the Zhou family as a troublemaker. People outside thought that she was a burden to the Zhou family and didn't deserve to be the wife of crown prince of Earl Zhongyong.

In this life, she didn't need to do anything. She just needed to expose the true colors of the Zhou family in front of everyone, and it would be enough to make them completely become the laughing stock of the nobles in Capital.

"Bullshit! It's obvious that you framed me in front of Princess An a few days ago, so my mother brought me here today to seek justice!" Zhou Bao'er was ashamed and angry when she heard that witnesses of the incident in Princess An's Manor explained the situation to those who didn't know the truth. Zhou Bao'er didn't want to embarrass herself at the door, so she went up to support her mother and accused Song Qingyu.

"You disrespect your elders and treat your sister unfriendly. My mother wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself, but you dared to plot against her on the street. The Zhou family will not stand on ceremony with you. We want to break off the engagement. We can't afford to have a daughter-in-law like you!" As Zhou Bao'er spoke, she pushed Li Rufei, indicating her to get down to business.

"Exactly. You're so vulgar and rude. I've already brought the property that your family paid when the engagement was made. Carry these things in and cancel the engagement!" As Li Rufei spoke, she was ready to enter the Song's Manor. She didn't want to embarrass herself outside.

"Stop!" Song Qingyu shouted coldly, " Bulter Song, stop them." As soon as she finished speaking, the servants of the Song's Manor surrounded the Zhou family and prevented them from going any further.

"What are you doing? Do you want to hit me on the street?" Zhou Bao'er shouted fiercely.

Song Qingyu sneered and said, "I can't bear to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family? Aren't you going to break off the engagement?" Song Qingyu's beautiful eyes were so cold that ice was about to spit out of them.

"That night in Princess An's Manor, you slandered me in front of Princess An. Princess An was so angry that she punished you slapped yourself 30 times. These days, I was afraid that the wound on your face had not healed yet, so I didn't come to visit you. That is what you said that I was not friendly and loved my sister?"

Slander First Miss of the Song Family in front of Princess An? She was slapped 30 times under the order of Princess An?

Everyone was talking about it. Although Zhou Bao'er lost face that night, all the people present were noble ladies. It was okay for them to talk about it in private, but they would not spread it in public. If Song Qingyu told the secret publicly at the gate of Song's Manor, the news that the Miss of Earl Zhongyong's Manor was slapped 30 times in public would probably spread throughout the capital before tomorrow!

Zhou Bao'er had obviously thought of the consequences. She was afraid and angry. Her dark face turned red, and her teeth chattered. [How dare you, Song Qingyu!] How dare she!

But at this moment, Zhou Bao'er didn't even dare to speak. In the past, the most advantageous thing to threaten Song Qingshu was breaking off the engagement. Today, when Zhou Bao'er said that the engagement would be canceled, Song Qingyu did not give in. Instead, Song Qingyu refuted her so firmly.

Looking at the tough Song Qingyu, Zhou Bao'er found that she was scared. She did not dare to provoke Song Qingyu, for fear that Song Qingyu would say something unfavorable to her if Song Qingyu was pushed too hard.

But Li Rufei wouldn't shut up when Zhou Bao'er kept her head down.

"How dare you say that? Bao'er told me that you forced Bao'er to slap herself 30 times that day, so Bao'er had no choice but to do that! Bao'er is your future sister-in-law, so you should protect her outside. Not to mention that Princess An didn't make a fuss about it and didn't take the initiative to ask Bao'er to slap her. Even if Princess An wanted to punish Bao'er forcefully, you should stand up for Bao'er and accept the punishment instead. Only in this way would you be a good elder sister-in-law!"

Zhou Bao'er felt helpless and desperate when she heard her mother's words. She quickly tugged at Li Rufei's sleeve and motioned Li Rufei to shut up.

Although they were used to pinching Song Qingyu like dough, who would dare to contact Earl Zhongyong's Manor in the future when her mother spoke out her real thought in front of so many people?

"It turns out that as the daughter-in-law of Earl Zhongyong, I must not distinguish right from wrong! It turns out that as the daughter-in-Law of Earl Zhongyong, I should have no dignity! It turns out that being the daughter-in-laws of Earl Zhongyong, I am even lower than selling herself to be a servant!"

At this moment, Song Qingyu did not know whether she was acting or speaking her mind. Her words were more and more intense. Isn't that right? In her previous life, she had no dignity at all, even worse than the dogs of the Zhou family!

"In that case, let's forget about getting married!" After Song Qingyu said this, she felt that the shackles on her body had been removed all of a sudden. She felt as if she had been reborn.

That's right. Ever since she was reborn, she had lived under the shadow of her previous life. It was only at this moment that she truly felt that her life was heading in a completely different direction!
