I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 220

Chapter 220 The sedan chair is coming

Ling Mao glanced at his eldest granddaughter and said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to get married, you insist on breaking off the engagement. I hope you won't regret it in the future. You should know that without this marriage, you can only marry the same people as us in the future. Ordinary people.”

Even though he said this, Ling Mao would not really let his eldest granddaughter marry into an ordinary family.

 What he said was just to knock her down.

 Lest you be dissatisfied with your future marriage and have to make a fuss about breaking off the engagement.

Not only would Ling Mao not marry Ling Chu to an ordinary family, he would not allow his granddaughters to marry ordinary people either.

Even if it is not for himself, he still has to plan for other descendants.

 He cannot let the Ling Mansion fall like this.

“Zong'er, please go with Mr. Dong to hire a matchmaker and go to Zhao Guogong's mansion to cancel the marriage.”

 “Yes, Dad.”

As the head of the family, the father-in-law had already spoken. No matter how unwilling Mrs. Dong was, she could only nod.

 “Dad, Mom, I'll go with you.”

The madam came over with a dissatisfied look and said, "Nonsense, you are a girl's family, this is not something you should get involved in. Just leave it to your parents to break off the engagement. If nothing happens, you can stay in the house and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." And follow the rules and etiquette, so as not to be said by outsiders that I, the girl from Ling Mansion, have no rules. "

Seeing that Mrs. Tai did not agree, Ling Chu did not insist.

Originally, she wanted to go along and see the marriage canceled with her own eyes.

 But since she is not allowed to go, then forget it.

Ling Chu didn't want to cause more trouble. As long as she could cancel the marriage, it didn't matter whether she went or not. Anyway, she didn't want to see the disgusting Zhao Jingming again.

 After eating, Lingchu went back to his yard to rest.

Ling Mao took his eldest son to the study to talk, while Dong went back to his yard to find the token given by Mrs. Zhao Guogong.

When Ling Zong returned to his courtyard from the study and was about to go to Zhao Guogong's mansion to break off the engagement with Dong, he found that Dong was missing.

He had no choice but to call the maid serving in the courtyard over, "Where is Madam, do you know where she is?"

"Back to the master, my wife said that the palace is busy, so she can go to the Duke of Zhao's palace alone."

Ling Zong frowned, the so-called marriage contract was the words of the matchmaker ordered by his parents. According to etiquette, whether it is an engagement or annulment, the parents of both parties and the matchmaker should be present.

　　His wife made an engagement to her eldest daughter without telling him, and now she left him alone to break off the engagement.

 Ling Zong was a little dissatisfied.

 But even though he was angry, he also knew that it was useless to get angry now.

Ling Zong got up from his armchair and was about to leave the palace to go to Duke Zhao's mansion when the servant came in a hurry to report that there were some problems with the construction of the ancestral hall.

 The construction of this ancestral hall was at a critical moment, and Ling Zong did not dare to ignore it.

Hurrying with the young man to the ancestral hall.

 When he finally finished handling the affairs at the ancestral hall and was about to rush to Duke Zhao's mansion, he didn't expect to see Mr. Dong just getting off the carriage just after he left the mansion.

"Why didn't you wait for me and went to Zhao Guogong's mansion alone?"

Ms. Dong glanced at him and said softly as she walked towards the house, "I see you are busy. Breaking off the engagement is not a good thing. I can handle it alone.

There are a lot of things in the house, and the ancestral hall is being built at a critical moment. If you leave, there will be something that needs you to deal with. "

His father is old. As the eldest son, Ling Zong also knows that the construction of the ancestral hall cannot be done without him.

No matter how busy you are, the matters of your eldest daughter should not be ignored.

But now that my wife is back, there is no point in worrying about this matter anymore.

Although he didn't go, Ling Zong still asked with concern, "Is the matter settled?"

　　　Mr. Dong paused for a moment, and then quickly continued walking in, humming softly at the same time.

Ling Zong originally wanted to ask if things went smoothly, but seeing Dong's tired look on his face, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips. Lingchu went back to the yard to rest for a while, then took out the yellow paper and cinnabar and started making talismans.

 You must concentrate on making talismans, otherwise you will easily make mistakes.

I got busy and an hour passed before I knew it.

Ling Chu was very tired.

 Putting the talisman paper away and having some snacks and tea, she planned to go to sleep for a while before getting up for dinner.

Xu Xu learned that the engagement was finally going to be terminated, so he let go of something that was on his mind, and Ling Chu fell into a deep sleep.

 She was not seen getting up until dusk fell, so Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju went to call her.

But after shouting several times, they saw that Ling Chu was still asleep. The two maids couldn't bear to wake her up again, so they simply let her have a good sleep.

Lingchu slept until the next morning.

 It's rare that I slept for such a long time, and I look good.

 After washing, she planned to go to the main hall to have breakfast.

 Normally, she would do it alone in the yard.

  I don't even want to go to the main hall and look at each other in distaste.

But today, she wanted to ask about breaking off the engagement. Although she knew that her parents had broken off the engagement yesterday, she still wanted to hear the result with her own ears.

 Everyone was present in the flower hall. After Ling Chu saw the ceremony, he didn't waste any time and asked Ms. Dong directly, “Mother, has the wedding been cancelled?”

Ms. Dong paused while drinking tea, raised her eyes and said coldly, "Since you have repeatedly said that you don't want to be the princess of Zhao Guogong's palace, then it will be as you wish. I just hope you won't regret it."

Ling Chu glanced at her mother, but said nothing.

Since the marriage was called off, she didn't go back.

 Even if all the men in the world died, she would not regret it.

Zhao Jingming is so disgusting, she doesn't want to marry him even if he is the emperor, let alone the prince.

　　Ling Chu's marriage was gone. Some people were gloating about it, while others were feeling sorry for it.

However, Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, and the others didn't speak either.

 The breakfast meal was finished quietly and everyone was rinsing their mouths.

Ling Chu was about to have a drink and return to his yard after completing the etiquette, but suddenly he heard a faint sound of festive suona.

Lingchu was surprised, which family held a wedding so early in the morning?

　　She was not the only one who was surprised. Others were also talking about it. Only Mr. Dong lowered his eyes and drank his tea without saying a word.

 Listening to the sound of the suona getting closer and closer, the movement seemed to be from a nearby house.

Getting married is a big happy event. Ling Chu planned to go and watch the excitement. Taking the opportunity to feel happy would also be good for her body.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, the woman guarding the door suddenly rushed in. Before she could catch her breath, she stammered and shouted, "Hua...hua...the sedan chair is here."

Everyone paused while drinking tea, then all turned their heads to stare at the woman inexplicably.

This old woman is suffering from hysteria, and there is no happy event happening at their house, so why would a sedan chair come to their house?

Ling Mao frowned with displeasure on his face. Compared with the servants hired from outside, they were really not that bad at all compared to those before in Shangshu Mansion.

Seeing that no one was speaking, the wife had no choice but to say, "What kind of flower girl?"

"It's... the sedan chair used to welcome the bride." The woman guarding the door didn't know whether she was too surprised to see the sedan chair, or she was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly when she saw so many people looking at her.
