Chapter 572 - 292 Chase_1
Prince Consort Pan also felt uncomfortable in his heart. He greatly admired Liang Jinzhao, thinking him promising, good-natured, and handsome, an excellent match for his granddaughter. Moreover, with Family Head Liang Zechong handling affairs smoothly and having a sharp political acumen, this family could be considered a blessing for the girl. Alas, Lady Cui spoiled everything.
When he spoke the words to call off the engagement, everyone in the Liang family was extremely shocked.
No matter how the Liang family begged, even with Liang Jinzhao kneeling with teary eyes, it failed to change Prince Consort Pan and Qian Manjiang’s decision. They only emphasized one thing, this time Madam Liang was deeply offended, and although it was Lady Cui’s doing, it was also because of the Qian family.
They nearly said outright, daring to marry off one’s daughter after offending a future mother-in-law to this extent?
After Prince Consort Pan and Qian Manjiang left, Liang Zechong saw how distressed Liang Jinzhao was and scolded, "Is it worth it? A man can always find another wife. Besides, Miss Qian isn’t promised to another family, you just have an equal chance with others now. Just try harder..."
Liang Jinzhao sadly said, "Grandson is useless, couldn’t even hold onto a promise. Now that the promise is gone, what use is there in trying harder? Before, when her family was in the countryside, even separated by a thousand mountains and rivers, we could still see each other a few times a year. But now, her family is merely ten miles from ours, and I find seeing her once harder than reaching the heavens."
Liang Zechong raised his voice and shouted, "You built the unprecedented Pili Camp, and you can’t pursue a young lady? If there’s no chance, create one, you fool!"
He then sneered at Liang Yiqian, "Your wife must be extremely pleased, this marriage arrangement truly got disrupted. Using the elders’ heartache, the son’s sorrow, and her own face, she fulfilled some people’s wishes. How capable she is!"
Liang Yiqian knelt down, saying with great sorrow, "Father, I am sorry. It is your son’s lack of vigilance that allowed the woman to ruin a major family matter."
"Useless fool, can’t even manage a woman," Liang Zechong cursed, and flinging a teacup from the table at Liang Yiqian.
When Qian Yixiu heard that the verbal agreement with Liang Jinzhao was completely canceled, she was filled with disappointment. She thought she would breathe a sigh of relief, but instead, her heart felt hollow and she was extremely uncomfortable.
Since her arrival, apart from Zhu Sujin and the Little Monk, the other men she had most contact with were Uncle Liang and Zhang Yang.
