Chapter 2626: Mission 12
Editor: Henyee Translations
The eyes of the Jiang family widened in disbelief, not anticipating Yan Danqiu’s strong reaction.
While the North Village residents were not impoverished, the scarcity of Elentary Scholars was evident. Among all the villages, there was only one Jiang Changxiu. Which girl in the North Village wouldn’t aspire to marry him? Being wed to Jiang Changxiu ant becoming a future official’s wife.
Yan Danqiu was considered fortunate to be engaged to Changxiu.
Initially, the Jiang family assud that breaking off the engagent would lead to Yan Danqiu crying and protesting her unwillingness. They had anticipated such dramatics and prepared accordingly.
Yet, Yan Danqiu’s unexpected response caught them off guard. Her words dripped with disdain for Jiang Changxiu, questioning the scholar’s penchant for despising the poor and favoring the wealthy. If he wished to call off the engagent, she insisted on returning the silver and herbs.
Her words struck a nerve, portraying Jiang Changxiu and his family in a negative light.
The Jiang family seethed with anger, but in the face of Yan Danqiu’s audacious words, they hesitated to retaliate. Their anger simred beneath the surface as they grappled with how to respond.
“What do you an by our family accepting your father’s silver and dicinal herbs? When did our Jiang family receive such things from you?” a mber of the Jiang family retorted imdiately. “On the contrary, you accepted them. Return the betrothal gifts from our Jiang family!”
The Jiang family reacted swiftly and engaged in a heated exchange with the Yan family. However, the majority of the Jiang family mbers were vocal, while only Yan Danqiu from the Yan family responded, creating a noticeable disparity in the argunt. It took a considerable amount of ti for the Jiang family to formulate a coherent response.
What family did they think they belonged to? They were scholars. Why were they entangled in an argunt with a country girl here? It was beneath their dignity.
“Our Jiang family is not unreasonable. Regardless of any additional items, today’s engagent is terminated, and we won’t owe each other anything in the future. Don’t anticipate any favors from our Jiang family,” the elder of the Jiang family hastily declared, eager to conclude the matter.
Yan Danqiu harbored no desire to be a part of the Jiang family. Having severed the engagent, she felt a sense of closure.
With the annulnt finalized, the atmosphere in the Yan family’s old house took a turn for the better. Everyone appeared joyous.
The Jiang family, having provided so benefits, left without much ceremony.
Yan Danqiu didn’t spare them a second glance, content that they were gone.
As the Jiang family departed, Gu Chaoyan prepared to leave as well.
However, soone from the Yan family’s old house halted her. “Wait, there’s more…”
It was Old Man Yan who spoke.
After the Jiang family’s departure, Old Man Yan, seated at the head, put on a show, accompanied by a malicious expression on Old Lady Yan’s face.
mbers of the Yan family’s first and second branches wore smiles, clearly anticipating what would unfold.
Gu Chaoyan sensed that things were not as straightforward as they seed.
If the Jiang family ca to annul the engagent, it indicated that the people in the old house were no longer holding back and could now mistreat the weaker mbers of the third branch at will.
Gu Chaoyan could almost predict that their discussion would involve the third branch’s farmland.
“Is there anything else?” Gu Chaoyan inquired calmly.
Old Man Yan appeared displeased. Yan Danqiu had never shown such an attitude before.
“What else could it be?” Yan Tieniu responded.
“Third has been gone for so long.” Old Man Yan said, “Your third branch is all useless.”
