How dare these people try to take advantage of her !
They actually dare to stir up trouble, despite knowing that Old Man Zeng is now siding with her. Do they no longer respect her?
"Make way, make way!"
Just as she was about to push through the crowd to enter the courtyard, she heard a harsh voice behind her and quickly felt a push against her back.
Luckily, the uncle acted swiftly and caught her, otherwise she might have fallen face-first into the ground in front of everyone.
Once she steadied herself and looked back, she saw a group of hired hands escorting an old matriarch with a head full of golden hairpins into the Zeng Family’s courtyard.
"Uncle, who is that woman?"
"She’s the head matriarch of the Yan Family, Jin Hua’s own grandmother. She’s quite the social climber," the uncle explained in a low voice to Lin Caisang.
So it was the Yan Family’s matriarch. They say you can tell a lot about a family by its matriarch. Looking at Grandma Yan’s demeanor, it seems nobody in the Yan family would be much good, right?
Usually, after a moment, for whatever reason, the courtyard was filled with Jin Hua’s heart-wrenching cries, which frightened everyone into nearly skipping a beat.
"Grandma, I won’t, I won’t marry this useless waste. He’s already a slave to people, if I marry him, I’ll also get bossed around by that Lin woman, right? I don’t want to be ordered around like a servant.
This scoundrel is willing to demean himself, how can you let me marry him, grandma? Don’t you love Jin Hua anymore? I am your own granddaughter, after all. I am supposed to marry into the Marquis Mansion...Ah!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously. Grandma Yan’s slap hit Jin Hua’s face hard.
"You impudent girl, still daydreaming! Can’t you see what’s happening?" she glared at her granddaughter, who was covering her face and feeling wronged, her body shaking with anger.
Didn’t she see that as soon as news of Old Man Zeng and Yulang collaborating with Lin Caisang came out, the Marquis Mansion immediately severed ties with her?
Even the Marquis Mansion knew not to offend Lin Caisang, who was backed by the Elder Princess’ Mansion, yet this ignorant girl was still confused. Was she trying to infuriate her grandma to death?
"Let me tell you, you were originally engaged to Yulang. Now that you’ve cut ties with the Marquis Mansion, stop messing around outside, and quickly set a good date to get married. If you think anything else, I won’t spare you!"
Jin Hua opened her mouth, but didn’t dare to speak a word.
If her father or mother were in front of her, she could argue back, but her opponent now was her own grandmother, the head of the Yan Family, she dared not speak.
If she uttered even half a disrespectful word, her grandmother would order the old servant by her side to half beat her to death with family discipline.
She took a deep breath and turned her head, angrily glaring at the innocent Yulang.
This had all happened because of this spineless fool. Why did he have to follow a woman around ? He definitely was attracted to her power and wanted to stick close to it.
He was just as bad as she was, even if he had accused her of it before!
Seeing that her granddaughter dared not speak anymore, Grandma Yan turned to Old Man Zeng with a friendly smile and said, "In-law, as you can see our Jin Hua has realized her mistake. About the marriage between our two families..."
