Flip the table! The reborn villainous woman takes down her entire family and seizes her life.

Chapter 178 is set for the Autumn Equinox.

Gu Liang followed Jiang Zhi to the front hall.

Jiang Zhi stepped forward, with Gu Liang accompanying him.

Madam Pei and Madam Pei rose and bowed, "Greetings, Prince Liang and Princess Liang."

Gu Liang gestured with his hand.

The two sat down to the side. Jiang Zhi picked up his teacup, took a sip of fruit tea, and observed everyone's expressions.

Pei Shangdao glanced at Lu Nianqiu from time to time, but Lu Nianqiu remained calm.

Madam Pei looked slightly troubled.

Madam Pei said, "Madam Jiang, these two children are of marriageable age."

"My family, Shangdao, has always been thinking about your family, Nianqiu. If we could rekindle the friendship between our two families, it would be a wonderful thing. What do you think?"

She turned and glanced at Lu Nianqiu, who was quietly drinking tea to the side.

"Rest assured, once Nianqiu enters our Guangde Marquis's mansion, the Marquis and I will treat her as our own daughter and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."

"As for the betrothal gifts, whatever amount is required, as long as the Jiang family names it, our Pei family will agree to it all."

“Our Pei family has a clean reputation for generations, and Shang Dao holds a position in the palace. If Nian Qiu marries into our Pei family, we will definitely not let her suffer in the slightest.”

Madam Jiang remained calm as she picked up the tea on the table and sipped it slowly.

She smiled and said, "Madam Pei is overthinking it."

"The Pei family is indeed good, but this marriage has been canceled repeatedly, which will probably cause criticism in Yanjing City."

"I should ask Nianqiu's opinion."

Her gaze fell on Lu Nianqiu. "Nianqiu, would you be willing to marry into the Pei family? To marry the heir of the Pei family?"

Lu Nianqiu slightly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Pei Shangdao, before lowering her head again.

"Grandmother can make the decision. Marriage is a matter of parents' wishes and matchmakers' words."

"My father is not in Yanjing now, and my mother has also passed away, so my grandmother can arrange the marriage."

"only......"

Lu Nianqiu paused for a moment, "I was raised in the Jiang family since I was a child. My mother passed away early, but she left behind Junkangtang, which gave me a way to survive. I was also fortunate to have my uncle take care of me and have a place in the Jiang family. My father made a name for himself outside, which gave me more confidence."

“I have a strange temper, and I am even willful and ignorant. If I am married into the Pei family in the future and they are not satisfied with what I do, I hope that Madam Zhang will not hold it against me.”

Jiang Zhi, who was standing to the side, curled his lips into a smile.

She understood Lu Nianqiu's unspoken meaning: she was not someone to be trifled with, and if the Pei family dared to treat her harshly, she would never comply; she was an independent individual.

Madam Pei gave an awkward smile.

She originally intended to give her future daughter-in-law a warning, urging her to give the Pei family a son so that their lineage wouldn't end. However, she never expected that the daughter-in-law would be so formidable.

"Nianqiu, don't worry. As elders, we naturally hope that you two can live in harmony. Why would we interfere in your relationship?"

"We hope you are doing well."

Lu Nianqiu smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on the marriage certificate on the table, the scene of the annulment of the engagement reappearing in her mind.

On the day the engagement was called off, Pei Shangdao was not present; it was Lady Pei and Marquis Guangde who came to call off the engagement.

If it weren't for Pei Shangdao, she wouldn't have agreed to this marriage again.

Seeing that Lu Nianqiu agreed, Madam Jiang added, "Our Nianqiu has been intelligent and sensible since childhood. She manages Junkang Hall very well, and we are very at ease with her. However, if she does something wrong, our Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion will personally punish her."

What Old Madam Jiang said was ostensibly praising Lu Nianqiu for being sensible and capable, and for not doing anything to betray the Guangde Marquis's Mansion, but it was also a dig at the Pei family. Even if Lu Nianqiu did something wrong and the Pei family thought she was wrong, the Pei family had no right to punish her; only our family had that right.

Anyone with eyes can understand what Madam Pei meant by those words.

Madam Pei smiled apologetically, "Madam Jiang is right. We will definitely treat Nianqiu a thousand times better than you said, and we will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Madam Pei slowly put down her teacup.

"In that case, as long as they are loving and harmonious, the marriage is settled."

The Pei family members breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Pei Shangdao turned his head and looked sweetly at Lu Nianqiu, a happy smile appearing on his lips.

Today is also an important day for him. After spending so much time with Lu Nianqiu, he seems to have developed a slight crush on her.

The engagement was finally settled, and Madam Pei could finally rest easy.

"Madam Jiang, what's the wedding date?"

Pei Shangdao spoke up, "It's set for the Autumn Equinox!"

His tone was very happy.

"Nianqiu loves autumn, so she chose the autumnal equinox!"
