Chapter 544: Marriage Fraud
Pei Wanyue’s words were so hurtful that Ms. Lu could hardly breathe.
“Have you lost all your private money?” Pei Wanyue asked in disdain.
Ms. Lu felt a lump in her throat and tears fell from her eyes.
Previously, Xie Niushan’s wager had spread like wildfire. When she heard it, she panicked and could not help but place her bets. Now, she had lost everything. She did not have much money to begin with and now, she did not have any left.
When she heard her daughter’s words, she felt as if she had just made the situation worse. Her entire body felt extremely cold.
“Yue’er, how did you become like this?” Ms. Lu was puzzled.
“Mother, is there any use in saying all this?” Pei Wanyue snorted. “You should stop thinking about the Xie family. If you want to be rich, you still have to rely on me.”
Ms. Lu was silent for a moment.
If it was in the past, she would have believed her. However, she was grateful enough that her daughter was not stepping on her bones and laughing at her.
She truly regretted it.
Back then when she was with Xie Niushan, she did not have any hard days. Now that she had moved out, she really did not have a single day where she could live comfortably.
Especially now that she knew that the wife that Xie Niushan cared about the most in his heart was Ms. Peng, it was as if a piece of her heart was missing.
Ms. Lu was not the only one who felt uncomfortable.
Xie Mangshan and the others were the same.
How would Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin stop complaining since they failed to get the silver back? They wanted to fight to the death with the old lady.
At that moment, the only thing in the old lady’s mind was the words of her second son asking her to die.
She did not have much energy left.
Xie Mangshan recalled what the master said. If he wanted to be safe, he had to return to his old home.
However, he was really unwilling.
Although Xie Congshan still had a job, it was not much better.
His future in-laws were waiting for money. The two families were having a wedding. Now that there was no news, the Cao family was upset.
They went to their house.
“I doted on my daughter. In the past, although your family didn’t have much money to make a living, you were still Master Xie’s relatives. They would not mistreat my daughter. But now, you are in debt and were chased out by Master Xie. How are you going to marry my daughter?” Madam Cao looked like she was stirring trouble.
In the room, Xie Congshan was silent.
“My Daughter’s engagement is canceled, so be it. But you ruined my Son! We initially agreed that you would introduce Young Lady Xie to my son, but there’s no sign of her? My Son canceled the engagement for the sake of Young Lady Xie. This is how you repay us?!” The Cao family was more concerned about this matter.
Their son’s engagement had been carefully decided, but now, for the sake of an empty promise, the marriage was destroyed!
“What do you want me to do?” Xie Congshan’s face was also cold. “My family doesn’t have any money. You can take whatever you can.”
“Compensate us with a daughter-in-law. Otherwise… Xie, don’t even think about staying on this street. Just wait to be despised by others!” The Cao family had been making vinegar for generations and had some family businesses!
It was impossible to make the Xie family unable to survive in the capital, but it was possible to influence the people on the streets nearby!
“My Daughter is still young…” Xie Congshan said.
“Bah! Who wants this useless thing from your family! Back then, we agreed to marry Young Lady Xie, so it has to be her!” The madam from the Cao family looked at Xie Congshan with disdain.
Xie Congshan frowned.
He could not decide on Xie Qiao’s marriage.
However…
Xie Congshan raised his head and looked at the people from the Cao family. He went all out. “Okay, I’ll agree to it! Go home and wait for my news!”
“Okay, if you can’t arrange for my son to marry Young Lady Xie, then I’ll go to the administrative office and sue you for marriage fraud, ruining my daughter’s reputation!” The madam from the Cao family said again.
The Xie family committed marriage fraud indeed. They had agreed to the conditions back then, but now none of them did it as promised!
