Unfortunately, Song Qingyu had asked for more than that. At this moment, Qiao Yue had led some people to carry out the small betrothal gifts sent by the Zhou familiy.
Song Qingyu nodded slightly and motioned for the servants to open the boxes one by one. "Father, since the engagement between the two families has been canceled, let's also make clear in front of the neighbors about small betrothal gifts given by Earl Zhongyong's Manor. From now on, the Zhou and Song families have nothing to do with each other!"
Song Huishu couldn't help but nod. His daughter was indeed meticulous. Li Rufei's lips trembled slightly, and the uneasiness in her heart became heavier, but she was unable to stop it. She watched Qiao Yue reading the list as she did in the past...
"Five hundred taels of silver, ten bolts of woven cloth, and one blue piece of salted meat..."
The more Qiao Yue read, the louder the discussion became. "Is this the small betrothal gifts from Earl Zhongyong's Manor? It's too shabby. Ordinary people who was slightly richer won't be so rude. It seems that the rumors among the people say that the Madam fo Earl Zhongyong Manor doesn't know how to manage the family. The Earl's Manor just looks bright on the surface!"
Li Rufei only felt blood gushing up to her head, as if someone had stripped off a piece of cloth from her! She didn't expect the Song family to be so ruthless. They didn't give her any face at all!
Only when she was cut by a knife would she feel hurt. She would be laughed at for giving such a small betrothal gift. But she didn't expect that Song Qingyu, who had accepted such a small betrothal gift, would be ridiculed and talked about!
When Li Rufei saw Zhou Zhenwei, Earl Zhongyong, coming, all her anger turned into fear!
Although Earl usually tolerated her a lot, she knew his character the best. He cared a lot about his reputation. Today, she didn't tell him that she had lost so much face at the gate of Song's Manor. When she returned to the mansion later, she would definitely bear his monstrous anger!
Sure enough, when Zhou Zhenwei saw Li Rufei and Zhou Bao'er in a sorry state, Zhou Zhenwei didn't step forward to show concern. On the contrary, his expression was gloomy as he said to Song Huishu, "Two stupid women, is Brother Song really going to ruin the marriage for them?"
Zhou Zhenwei had always been henpecked in the Capital, and he had almost never scolded Li Rufei in front of anyone. Now that he did this, it meant that he was really angry.
Li Rufei didn't dare to say a word at the moment. She was no longer the shrew she used to be.
Seeing that Zhou Zhenwei didn't agree with the two women's approach, Song Huishu was a little shaken. In his opinion, if both Earl Zhongyong and crown prince agreed to this marriage, Li Rufei, as a woman, could not make any trouble.
Song Qingyu didn't agree. She stepped forward and said lightly, "Two stupid women? Madam of Earl Zhongyong made such a scene in the Song's Manor and spent a lot of effort to collect so many abandoned garbage of the Earl's Manor. They carried these things out in a big way. I'm afraid no one will believe that Earl Zhongyong doesn't know anything about it."
Zhou Zhenwei's face darkened. He snorted coldly, but he didn't lose his temper in the end. "You're just a junior, but you interrupted elders at will. Where's your family's etiquette!"
Qingyu was not afraid of his cold face at all. She looked straight at him and said, "The matter of breaking off the engagement between the two families has been settled. Earl Zhongyong is no longer a decent elder to me. Instead, you are the chief culprit who ruined my reputation. We don't need to be polite." She did not give in at all.
