Chapter 195 - 195 Annulment
195 Annulment
Madam Liu didn’t expect her obedient daughter to be so upset about this matter.
However, after hearing her daughter shout, Madam Liu Du understood why her daughter didn’t hand over the golden Buddha.
Actually, her daughter didn’t really want the golden Buddha, but she was unwilling to let her family break off the engagement.
“If you can see it, how can we not see it?! There’s nothing we can do now. We can only settle for the next best thing!”
Madam Liu sighed softly. At the thought of breaking off this engagement, her heart ached so much.
But if they didn’t break off the engagement, what else could they do?!
The Wang family was pressuring them. If they really went against the powerful Wang family, would their family be able to survive?!
The Fang family was indeed well-off.
If their family could establish marital ties with the Fang family, it would undoubtedly be of great help to their family.
But the Wang family set their sets on the Fang family.
“It’s not like you don’t know how ruthless the Wang family is!
It was said that Fang Rui’er had been kidnapped back to the tent by Wang Shunye! If not for Madam Liu helping and threatening Wang Shunye’s mother with a knife, it was unknown if they would have been able to leave the Wang family!
The Fang family is protected by Gu Erlang’s family, so the Wang family has to be wary no matter what. However, if the Wang family wants to target us, won’t it be easy?!
“Yuan’er, stop throwing a tantrum. We can’t win!”
Madam Liu sighed and looked at Liu Yuan’er, who had fallen back into her seat. She knew that her daughter had accepted her advice.
“Alright, go and take out that golden Buddha!”
Liu Yuan’er was still a little reluctant to take out the thing she liked so much. She dawdled awkwardly. Before she could reply, Fang Liu’s energetic voice came from outside. “Is Madam Du at home?!”
“Previously, you came to look for the Fang family and said that you wanted to break off the engagement. We’ve already decided that if you want to break off the engagement, so be it. The Fang family isn’t worthy of a scholarly family like the Liu family!”
Fang Liu raised her voice. She didn’t intend to hide at all and directly exposed this matter outside the Liu family’s tent. “Don’t keep hiding in the tent and refusing to come out!
“You’ve already eaten the food and cured meat that our family sent over previously. Do you think we’ll make you spit it out for us?!
Other than resigning ourselves to the fact that we’re unlucky, how can we be bothered to argue with dogs?!”
“What do you mean?!” The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, Liu Wang, was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She lifted the curtain and rushed out of the tent. Then, she glared at Fang Liu and accused her angrily, “The reason our family wants to break off the engagement with the Fang family is that Fang Rui’er is promiscuous!
The Liu family can’t tolerate a promiscuous woman!
Not to mention the Liu family, even if it were anyone else, who would accept a woman who was about to marry into their family having such an unbearable past?!”
“Sister-in-law, don’t waste your breath on them. Since we’re here to annul the engagement today, let’s return each other’s tokens! We’ve already brought the inkstone your family took back then. Where’s my golden Buddha?!”
Fang Rui’er took the inkstone that the Liu family had bragged about previously from Mrs. Luo and stuffed it into Liu Wangshi’s arms. Then, she took a few steps back and raised her hand at her coldly. “Isn’t it time to return it?!”
“Sister Rui’er, you…”
Liu Wang held the inkstone in her hand as if it was a hot potato. She held back her embarrassment and tried her best to stall for time so that Liu Yuan’er could quickly take out the golden Buddha. However, Fang Rui’er didn’t intend to cooperate with her plan.
“Don’t. Someone promiscuous like me really doesn’t deserve to be called your sister! Since you guys despise me so much, you guys probably look down on my things!
Therefore, please return my golden Buddha quickly!”
Fang Rui’er’s smile was filled with mockery. “You’re refusing to return the golden Buddha to me now?!
Your scholarly family is really greedy. I’m really taken aback!”
“Fang Rui’er, don’t talk nonsense! We’ve been taking good care of your golden Buddha. My mother-in-law is already looking for it. When she finds it, she’ll definitely send it to you!”
Liu Wangshi’s face turned red and she resented her sister-in-law for being short-sighted, she had no choice but to smile and ignore the awkwardness.
She regretted coming forward.
If she had known that these people outside were so difficult to deal with, she would have taken the initiative to come out!
Wasn’t she being used as a punching bag now?!
“Oh, then I’ve really misunderstood! In that case, please find it quickly. I’m still waiting to collect the thing and go back!” Fang Rui’er glanced at Liu Wang, who was standing not far from her, and the disdain in her eyes intensified.
She didn’t say anything else. She just stood where she was and quietly stared Liu Wang, who was standing in front of her with an awkward look.
Liu Wang felt tortured. In the tent, Madam Liu Du and Liu Yuan’er were about to have a mental breakdown!
Madam Liu Du, in particular, looked at Liu Yuan’er, who was still stammering and cowering in the corner. She wished she could go up and slap her twice so that she could hand over the golden Buddha quickly.
“Tell me quickly, where’s the golden Buddha?! Where did you put it?!”
Madam Liu moved in front of Liu Yuan’er, grabbed her lapel, and asked in a low voice, “Do you want to ruin our family’s reputation?!”
“Let me tell you, if you really ruin the Liu family’s reputation because of this today, your father will beat you to death when he comes back!”
“My cousin and I exchanged the things, so I have her jade bracelet.”
Liu Yuan’er wanted to resist at first, but Madam Liu Du’s threat frightened her. She didn’t dare to hide it anymore and could only stammer as she told Liu Du about the whereabouts of the golden Buddha. “I… I just exchanged it to wear this jade bracelet for a few days. Who knew that you would suggest breaking off the engagement with the Fang family at this time?!”
Liu Yuan’er felt aggrieved!
Previously, she had said that the golden Buddha belonged to her, so what if she took it out to exchange for jewelry with her cousin?! Who knew that such a thing would happen…
