Song Huishu was also shocked by his daughter's words, who should have been coward. It turned out that in his daughter's heart, his official position was so important.

"Good, well done! The Zhou family has taken advantage of their power to bully civil officials. First Miss Song should break off the engagement with them!"

There were also other civil officials on the street who had always admired Song Huishu and came forward to support him at this moment.

"The Earl Zhongyong's Manor has always liked to look down on scholars because of their contributions, so it's normal for them to be so shameless. In my opinion, martial artists should also read some books, so as descendants not to be inferior to pigs and dogs. They don't even know the courtesy, justice, and shame."

Zhou Bao'er and her mother were too ashamed to show their faces. Since Song Qingyu was too weak, Zhou Bao'er had always said and done whatever she wanted in front of the members of the Song family. She didn't have to care about the dignity of the Song family at all. Today, she had never been criticized like this by others.

At this moment, Li Rufei was at a loss. She pointed at the nose of Song Qingyu with trembling fingers. She held her breath in her chest and could not say a word.

On the contrary, Song Qingyu stood gracefully with a clear gaze at this moment. She was like an enormous rock that had been tempered by the wind and sand for a thousand years in the crowd, and she emitted a shapeless pressure that terrified Li Rufei to want to flee in embarrassment.

"Well, if you want to break off the engagement, just do it. I'd like to see what else family you can marry. You disrespected your mother-in-law so much that no noble family in the Capital would want such a daughter-in-law as you!"

Li Rufei cursed Song Qingyu harshly, pulled up Zhou Bao'er, and was about to run away. Before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Song Qingyu again.

"Madame Zhou really doesn't care about trifles. You said that you agreed to break off the engagement. The engagement contract has not been canceled, and the eight characters have not been returned. You are in a hurry to leave without even checking the small betrothal gifts. Do you really mean that?" These words clearly showed that the Zhou family didn't know etiquette.

It was not until this time that Song Huishu came to his senses. He thought, ["Yes. Though the Zhou family said they would cancel the engagement, they actually did so to humiliate Qingyu in person. They did not even bring the items needed to cancel the engagement with them. They are simply treating the Song family as fools."]

He looked at Li Rufei coldly. The majesty of the Minister of Ministry of Revenue for many years was fully released, which shocked her and her daughter so much that they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Bulter Song, bring out the small betrothal gifts from Earl Zhongyong's Manor and send someone to check on them. It was I, Song Huishu, who failed to recognize the right person and delayed my daughter's marriage. Today, I am here to cancel the engagement clearly. As for what kind of family my daughter will marry in the future."

Song Huishu glanced coldly at Zhou Bao'er, who was curled up in Li Rufei's arms like a quail and didn't dare to say anything. "Qingyu is noble and well-mannered. With my support, she will definitely find a better family to marry than you Zhou family!"

"You, you're bullying us!" Li Rufei stammered. She watched helplessly as the Song family opened the boxes she had brought over to check them one by one. She could not say a complete sentence. She suddenly thought of something and quickly shook off Zhou Bao'er. She pounced over to cover the things in the box so that no one could see them. She complained in her heart,[ "I've lost so much face today!"]

Song Huishu wouldn't satisfy her. For his daughter, he would take advantage of his power to bully her to the end!

As expected, as soon as the box was opened, Song Qingyu was not disappointed by the shamelessness of the Zhou family. There was no return gift prepared by the Song's Manor in the box. Instead, it was a pile of worthless copper and iron.

If it weren't for the fact that Song Qingyu knew very well that the Zhou family was stingy, she would have ordered people to check on the spot. When this box of garbage entered the Song family's house, whatever the Zhou family said would be made up to them.

On the contrary, Qingyu counted them in public and exposed the shamelessness and unbearableness of Earl Zhongyong's Manor.

"In the return gifts from my Song's Manor, there were two authentic works of Master Wang Zhishi, namely, the 'Dachu Country Mountains and Rivers' and the 'Hundred Phoenix Return Dynasty'. It seems that they are not in the box now. My father also heard that Zhou Chengling had done a lot of research on bows and arrows, so he sent someone to find the Dark Steel Crimson Gold Bow that was used by Yu Hewei, the former God of War, and gave it to Zhou Chengling. I didn't see it either. Did you leave it at home and not bring it with you, Madam?"

Song Qingyu held the gift list in one hand and asked leisurely, with obvious sarcasm in her eyes.

Since the Song family opened the box and revealed the old things that Li Rufei had asked people to pack at will, Li Rufei knew that she was doomed. She had lost all her face today, so she simply gave up on herself, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

She didn't come here to break off the engagement in the first place. She just wanted to use this as an excuse to control the Song family. She wanted Song Qingyu to kowtow to Bao'er and apologize, and then make Song Huishu pay for what Song Qingyu had done. As for the return gifts from the Song family, why would she really bring them over? She was just packing up some unwanted things and putting them in a box to boost her momentum.

"'Dachu Country Mountains and Rivers' and the 'Hundred Phoenix Return Dynasty' are priceless treasures that are hard to get even with thousands of dollars! Especially 'Hundred Phoenix Returning Dynasty', which is the masterpiece of Wang Zhishi. My father often talks about it at home. If I can have a look at it in my lifetime, I will have no regrets."

When Ge Zhang, the second daughter of the Left Censor-In-Chief, heard about the two paintings in the gift, she was so envious that her eyes turned red. She had always heard that Minister Song only doted on his second daughter. However, the fact that he was willing to give such valuable calligraphy and painting as gifts for the First Miss engagement in return showed that the rumors were wrong.

"Don't talk nonsense here, Song Qingyu. What 'Dachu Country Mountains and Rivers' and Bows? Don't talk nonsense here. These things haven't been sent to my home at all. I've never seen them before! Don't think that I'm easy to bully with my mother. You're blackmailing us here with a non-existent gift list."

Seeing her mother being pushed to the ground by the servants of the Song's Manor, Zhou Bao'er panicked. In her impression, Li Rufei had always been her guardian. Li Rufei always had the final say in the Zhou family. No matter what the truth was, as long as her mother spoke louder, her father and brother would compromise. Even her grandmother had to give her mother some face. It could be said that Li Rufei had always been a role model for Zhou Bao'er. She also wanted to live recklessly like this.

But today, her mother, who had always been successful, was in such a mess. Zhou Bao'er was furious, but there was more panic than anger in her heart because her mother had been defeated.

This kind of feeling made Zhou Bao'er refute Song Qingyu's words randomly without thinking. Now it was exactly what Song Qingyu wanted.

"Miss Zhou, do you mean that this list is fake? You haven't seen any of the things on this list. Is the Song family blackmailing you with fake gift list?"

"Yes!" At this moment, Zhou Bao'er had lost her mind.

Upon hearing her words, which were full of loopholes, Song Qingyu was so angry that she almost laughed.

However, it made sense. The Zhou family's mother and daughter were of the same bloodline. They were obviously good-for-nothings, but they had to pretend to be from an aristocratic family. They had made a lot of jokes.

In the past, because of Zhou Chengling, Qingyu sincerely regarded them as her family members. Every time she could help them out, she would do it. Now that Qingyu was dismissive of them, they naturally had to show their true colors.

"In addition to the three extremely precious items I mentioned just now, there are also the white jade bracelet and the Moonlight Butterfly Shadow Golden Stagger that my father specially made for me in the Jade Hall," Song Qingyu said as she looked Zhou Bao'er up and down with great interest. As expected, seeing her expression change greatly, Zhou Bao'er quickly covered her left wrist with a guilty conscience. "Miss Zhou, have you never seen them before?"
