Chapter 129 Ancient Version of Poor Little One 14
The system has learned bad habits from Qu Nannan and especially loves to see others make fools of themselves.
"Is there anything that can make people say what they think, the kind that can tell the truth?"
"Yes, it's a truth talisman. As long as she opens her mouth, she will speak the truth. It's not a good thing for her to be unlucky. I will make her pour out all the secrets in her stomach."
"Then why don't you put bad luck charms on the hero and heroine?"
"Why rush? Wait until they've hurt each other enough before applying the bad luck charms. I just want to see if they can still be so arrogant and treat human lives as worthless without their solid backing."
Patriarch Wang entered the front hall, and Jiang Xunzhi stood up and saluted to Patriarch Wang: "Uncle Wang."
"Nephew, please stand up and sit down to talk."
Jiang Xunzhi waited until the head of the Wang family sat down before he turned around and sat on the chair as he was told.
"My dear nephew, why are you here today?"
"Uncle Wang, Xun came to visit today mainly to discuss the marriage between our two families."
"Oh~ You want to discuss your marriage with my daughter?"
The head of the Wang family felt a pang in his heart. It seemed that the Jiang family really intended to cancel the engagement? Otherwise, when would it be the turn of a younger generation to discuss the marriage of the two children? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Wang family?
"Yes, I am really not worthy of Miss Wang. I came here today to discuss the cancellation of the engagement."
"My dear nephew, there is no need to be modest. Our two families are well matched. There is no such thing as worthy or unworthy." The head of the Wang family began to play dumb.
Since Jiang Xunzhi came today, he must have made all the necessary preparations: "I wonder if Uncle Wang knows what happened outside today?"
Patriarch Wang said with an upright face: "These are just nonsense. Why do you still believe in rumors?"
"Look, my nephew only wants to talk to Uncle Wang, and I've brought someone with me. Would you like to meet him?"
Patriarch Wang was becoming more and more unsure. There were a few less secret guards in his house. He had no idea whether they were dead or captured. The people who went out to investigate had not returned yet. But he could not come up with a reason to refuse, so he could only nod his head to indicate yes.
Jiang Xunzhi glanced at the servant who followed him. The servant nodded respectfully and left the front hall, and soon brought a man in black in. The man in black walked with a limp and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. The scarf on his face was gone, and his skin was abnormally white. It was obvious that he had not seen the sun for many years.
When Patriarch Wang saw the person coming in, he knew in his heart that it was the boy from the Jiang family who was threatening him.
He would not have been afraid of these threats in the past, but it was different now. Most of the dead were from well-known aristocratic families. Once the evidence was conclusive, those families would swarm in and make the Wang family suffer.
The head of the Wang family was furious and resented his beloved daughter. As the head of the Wang family, he had to be threatened by a little kid. How could he walk around Jiangnan with dignity? But he had to swallow this loss this time.
Patriarch Wang forced a smile on his face and said, "My dear nephew, you have good means. I agree to cancel the engagement. I hope my dear nephew can also stay out of it."
Jiang Xunzhi still looked like a modest gentleman: "Of course."
The head of the Wang family ordered the butler who was following him: "Go and get the marriage certificate and the token of love."
Miss Wang, who was eavesdropping outside, got furious when she heard her father say he agreed to cancel the engagement. She rushed into the front hall without caring whether she was eavesdropping or not.
"I don't agree, Dad. I don't agree. Why should I cancel the engagement?" Her expression was full of unruly and willful behavior, and she didn't look gentle and virtuous like a lady from a wealthy family at all.
"Brother Jiang, I don't agree to cancel the engagement. Don't you know how much I love you? I do all this for you! How can you say I want to cancel the engagement?"
Jiang Xunzhi frowned slightly. How could a woman like this be worthy of him?
The head of the Wang family blushed and her hands trembled. "You, you rebellious girl, shut up. Do you have no shame? How can a lady from a noble family say such things?"
"Dad~~ I won't cancel the engagement. I like Brother Jiang, and I must marry Brother Jiang. Otherwise, I won't live, wuwuwu......" For her, face is not a concern, as long as she can marry Brother Jiang.
"Shut up, I told you to shut up and you still said that. Come on, take the young lady away."
"Brother Jiang, please don't cancel the engagement, okay? I will be obedient in the future and only listen to you, okay?" Miss Wang looked pleading. She had liked Brother Jiang for so many years, how could she let go so easily.
When the head of the Wang family heard what his daughter said, he almost had a heart attack. He covered his chest and his face turned red. When the housekeeper saw this, he quickly supported his master.
"Master, master, how are you? Quick, call the doctor over."
Jiang Xunzhi stepped back silently, looking at the eldest daughter of the Wang family with a cold expression. He felt disgusted. How did the Wang family raise their daughter? How could such a girl be worthy of marrying him? How much did they despise him?
The eldest daughter of the Wang family didn't care about her father who was almost pissed off by her, and just kept begging Jiang Xunzhi not to cancel the engagement.
The housekeeper was also very anxious. He knew that his young lady was willful and capricious, but he didn't expect her to be so heartless. The master was almost mad at her, but she was still only concerned about love.
Just when Jiang Xunzhi's patience was running out, the servant who went to get the engagement letter and keepsake came back.
Jiang Xunzhi glanced at the servant beside him, and the servant took out his own copy. He walked directly towards the servant who came in, and forcefully took back his young master's engagement letter and token from the still dazed servant's hand.
Seeing that the things were in hand, Jiang Xunzhi stood up and said politely: "Since uncle is not feeling well, Xunzhi will not disturb you. I will come to visit you in a few days."
The head of the Wang family was just angry for a moment, and just when he recovered a little, he saw the actions of the Jiang family servant just now. This time he really felt difficulty breathing. He watched the Jiang family boy talk to himself and turn around to leave.
His daughter was eager to grab someone to talk, and the head of the Wang family pointed at his daughter with a trembling finger. The housekeeper was very tactful and asked someone to hold his daughter. At the same time, the doctor came over and quickly took the pulse of the head of the Wang family, who was obviously very angry.
Miss Wang was still clamoring and wanted to catch up to say something, but the head of the Wang family threw a tea bowl directly to the ground. The crisp sound finally quieted Miss Wang down.
Looking at the broken porcelain on the ground, Miss Wang would be better off saying nothing at this time, or caring about her father's health. But wasn't this a truth talisman given to her by Qu Nannan? The words that she usually only dared to mutter in her heart were blurted out at the top of her lungs.
