Even Madam Su was angered by this old woman’s attitude. She was originally dissatisfied with Gu Lingyu, her future son-in-law. Looking at their attitude now, her impression of Gu Lingyu fell to the bottom.
“Look at what you’re saying.” Madam Su suddenly smiled and said this without thinking.
The old woman of the Gu family had obviously misunderstood. She thought that Mrs. Su did not want to break off the engagement and needed to find an excuse. After all, with the current situation of the Su family, they would definitely lose. It would be difficult to find a husband-in-law like the Gu family for Su Yan.
The old woman was about to mock Mrs. Su when she heard Mrs.. Su continue.
“When we were engaged, the Su family did not only give us the engagement document, but also a pair of golden silk jade statue worth 10,000 taels. This is a jade hairpin that was only worth 1000 taels. I have returned the jade hairpin to you. where is the jade status of the Su Family? Or should I say, is the Gu family prepared to use this jade hairpin to exchange for our jade statue?”
Madam Su, who had been to the mall for a long time, was not easy to bully. She immediately took out the jade hairpin that she had prepared and casually threw it on the table. She looked at the old woman as if she was saying, “Do you have any sense of shame?”
“You, our Gu family will not covet this little thing of yours. It’s just that your old man has committed such a big crime and our Gu family forgot to bring it along in a moment of panic. I will send someone to bring it back later.”
The Gu family’s old woman was so angry that she was trembling, but she had nothing to say. She could only use the fact that Old Master Su had been caught as an excuse.
“Haha, Your Gu family is really obedient. It’s just that I don’t understand one thing. I wonder if I can ask this mother-in-law for advice?”
Su Yan had just stood at the door and did not step forward when she saw that madam Su was at ease. Now that she had seen the outcome of the matter, she smiled and walked into the door.
“Miss Su Yan, are you asking about our Young Master Gu? This annulment of the marriage is our Young Master Gu’s intention. Our young master Gu also said that he hopes that Miss Su Yan will have some self-respect and not pester him in the future. Especially when it comes to beating people up on the street, the Gu family can not afford to lose face.”
The old woman who had just been angered by Madam Su vented her anger on Su Yan the moment she saw her. After she finished speaking in a sarcastic tone, she felt the anger in her heart dissipate a little. As a mother, she could not win against her daughter!
She knew how much Su Yan liked their young master. If Su Yan were to cry, make a fuss, and hang herself later, it would be a good show. Madam Su had spoken so strongly, but in the end, she was still defeated by her daughter.
The old woman of the Gu family looked at Madam Su mockingly, then crossed her arms and sat at the side, waiting for a good show.
Madam Su also looked at Su Yan with some worry. Although the old woman’s words made her angry, she was most worried about whether her daughter would be able to accept the annulment of the engagement.
“Annulment of marriage is just a small matter. You can just talk to my mother about it. As for what I want to ask, this Gu family’s mother-in-law and my grandfather’s crime haven’t been decided by the imperial court yet. How did the Gu family find out about it?”
The Gu family’s old woman’s expression changed. Her status in the Gu family was not bad, so there were some things that he knew. However, it was precisely because he knew that she understood that these things must not be said.
She panicked. If madam and the others knew that she had let the cat out of the bag, she would not be happy.
At that moment, she did not dare to stay any longer. She simply said a few words and left.
Su Yan did not stop her. Seeing that a servant of the Gu family knew about her grandfather’s matter, it could be seen how arrogant the Gu family was. They did not shy away from the Su family’s schemes.
