Chapter 87 The Crown Prince Annulls the Engagement

Early the next morning.

Granny Wu carefully massaged Old Madam Jiang's back.

"Madam, what should be done with Madam Liu?"

Madam Jiang snorted coldly.

"Who has been preparing the meals in the Liu family's courtyard these past few days?"

After thinking for a moment, Granny Wu replied, "Madam, the meals are simple ones arranged by the manor's kitchen."

"Then it was delivered by Liu's maid, Biluo."

Old Madam Jiang slowly opened her eyes, her deep gaze colder than the night wind.

"Tonight, I will personally arrange her meal."

"It will definitely satisfy her."

Liu has done such a shameless thing, putting such a big hat on the Marquis of Zhenyuan and making her son so embarrassed. So what if she has the Duke's Mansion behind her?

It's time for her to live to a ripe old age.

After Madam Jiang finished speaking, Granny Wu behind her blinked and paused in her hand movements.

Having been by the old lady's side for so many years, she naturally understood the old lady's meaning.

Madam Jiang was naturally meticulous in everything she did.

"Yes." Granny Wu took a deep breath and said, "Madam, this old servant will go and make the arrangements right away."

No sooner had Granny Wu left than the maidservant outside rushed over.

"Madam, Madam Pei and Prince Pei from the Marquis of Guangde's residence have arrived."

Madam Jiang looked at the maid and sighed, "Come on, what's meant to come will come."

Before long, Madam Jiang arrived at the front hall.

In the front hall, Madam Pei looked at Madam Jiang with a kind face and her eyebrows curved.

The man in the middle wore a sky-blue brocade robe, a gold crown and a jade belt, and had a handsome face.

Madam Jiang hurriedly stepped forward, forcing an awkward smile, "Madam Pei, thank you for coming so early."

Old Madam Jiang slowly sat down in the seat next to her.

"I have come here today to discuss something with you."

Madam Jiang naturally understood the purpose of Madam Pei's visit.

It was all for the purpose of announcing the engagement.

As expected, Madam Pei took out a letter of annulment from her sleeve, placed it on the table beside her, and slowly pushed it toward Madam Jiang.

She smiled and said, "Shang Dao has only been in office for a few years and has not yet established himself in the court."

"This year is also Shang Dao's birth year, so there is really no way for him to marry Miss Jiang."

"Shang Dao said that he didn't want to ruin the second young lady's life, so he simply canceled the marriage between the two families, which could be considered as giving the two children an explanation."

Madam Jiang picked up the letter of annulment and stared at it for a moment.

She knew that Jiang Luan must have received the letter yesterday as well. The fact that she was now taking the initiative to break off the engagement with a pleasant expression was just to save face for Jiang Luan, ostensibly to avoid hindering Jiang Luan's happiness.

Since Madam Pei was already so dignified, she really couldn't say anything.

Moreover, in Yanjing, it was taboo for unmarried women to have physical intimacy with men without a matchmaker.

She only hoped that this matter would be settled as soon as possible, allowing the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence to have some peace and quiet.

Thinking of this, Madam Jiang took the letter and slowly put it into her sleeve.

She sighed, lowered her head, and forced a smile. "It's better that you withdrew, it's better that you withdrew."

"Young Master Pei is a man of great talent and appearance; in the end, our Luan'er is not worthy of him."

Pei Shangdao, who was sitting on a chair to the side, smiled and said, "Madam Jiang is too kind. I am not worthy of Miss Jiang."

"I believe that Miss Jiang is intelligent and will surely find her ideal husband in the future."

The two old ladies chatted for a while, and then Pei Shangdao helped Old Madam Pei out of the Jiang residence.

The two boarded the carriage and headed towards the Pei residence.

Inside the carriage, Pei Shangdao smiled faintly.

He looked at Madam Pei standing to the side.

"Grandmother, now that I have broken off my engagement with Miss Jiang, will my previous engagement with Miss Lu still be valid?"

Madam Pei glanced at him sideways.

"Do you truly like her? You haven't had much interaction with her."

"Moreover, you also need your parents' consent, and you need to think about how to persuade them."

Pei Shangdao flicked his sleeves, a smile as gentle as spring sunshine on his face.

“Of course I thought of that,” he said.

"I believe that when the time comes, my father and mother will definitely come to my door to ask for my hand in marriage with Lu Nianqiu."

Madam Pei looked at Pei Shangdao with some confusion.

At this moment, Pei Shangdao's heart was filled with countless emotions.

Yes, he didn't have much interaction with Lu Nianqiu on the surface.

They weren't exactly mutually in love, nor did their feelings develop over time. To say he liked her would be too simplistic.

He knew that his plan would always require someone to sacrifice, and it just so happened that person was her.

-

Jiang Zhi also knew Old Madam Jiang's temperament.

Now that everyone knows that Liu has cuckolded her father, she will probably act even faster than her father.

Sure enough, just as Jiang Zhi got up, he saw Wu Shi come in.

"Your Highness, yesterday's blood test has indeed given Old Madam Jiang some ideas."

Jiang Zhi smiled. "Does Grandmother have any other plans?"

The old lady asked the nanny, Liu, about the food she had eaten.

"And she said that she would personally instruct the kitchen to prepare the meals now."

Old Madam Jiang would never have wanted to poison the food; if she died, the authorities would surely find out, and Grandmother Jiang knew the consequences.

She naturally wanted to...

Jiang Zhi smiled gently, "That's true, debts always have to be repaid."

"Stop! Stop!" A hurried voice came from the doorway.

Jiang Zhi looked up, "Cousin?"

"Stop, stop," Lu Nianqiu said. "The Duchess has arrived and is arguing with Old Madam Jiang in the front hall."

"Today, the old lady ordered us to go, saying that she would drown the second young lady in a pig cage in front of the women of the Jiang family as a warning to others."

Jiang Zhi narrowed his eyes. Today, Old Madam Jiang had Jiang Luan drown in a pig cage. It seemed that there would be more drama to come.

"Okay, I know."

After a quick wash, she headed to the front hall of the Jiang residence.

In the front hall, Old Madam Jiang sat upright in a chair, her sharp eyes fixed on Lady Liu, the Duchess of the State, opposite her.

Liu also looked at Old Madam Jiang with a sullen face and her eyes flashing with anger.

With a gloomy expression, Old Madam Jiang leaned on her cane and spoke first.

“This is a matter for our Jiang family. How can we allow an outsider to interfere time and time again?”

"What? Do I need the Liu family's permission to discipline a disobedient junior?"

"Is your Duke's mansion too idle? If you're so bored, go find something to do. Stop eyeing other people's houses."

Liu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Old Madam Jiang.

There was a "click" sound.

She reached out and slammed her hand on her armchair.

“Madam Jiang, this Jiang Luan is my granddaughter. I naturally have to care about her life and death.”

"Don't I even have the right to decide whether my granddaughter lives or dies?"

Madam Jiang snorted coldly, her face full of disdain.

"The Duchess has quite the audacity."

"I'll make this clear today: either she'll be drowned in a pig cage, or she'll get out of the Jiang family and be removed from our family genealogy."
