Chapter 266: What Are You Trying to Plot?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Nonsense, is this something you can say? The Wang family already discussed this with Father previously.”
“Father has already agreed. As juniors, how can we go back on our words? Moreover, that Landlord Wang’s family probably doesn’t want money. Don’t interfere in the Wang family’s matters, but you can’t reject this marriage. We can’t go back on our words.”
“You’d better think back to the days when you brought Jiao’er to the county so frequently before the accident.”
What Liu Cheng meant was already very obvious, especially to Madam Liu.
He was talking about her. When the Wang family was rich, she would compare them with others. However, now that something happened, she wanted to cancel the engagement. Madam Luo’s eyes turned red. She lowered her head, not daring to let others see her as a joke.
She felt even more wronged.
If the Wang family had just lost their wealth, she would have accepted the other party. However, now that they had offended Landlord Wang’s family and implicated her own family, she was afraid that her sister-in-law would be even angrier at her.
Madam Luo felt a little resentful, but since these words were said by her man, she could not say anything unpleasant, so she simply shut her mouth.
The only women in the room were Madam Liu, Madam Wang, and Ye Muyu.
However, Madam Wang did not expect Madam Luo to be so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Ye Muyu and Madam Liu could tell.
Madam Liu also agreed with her brother’s words, but it was also important not to implicate her family.
Therefore, she was frowning and deep in thought. She had no time to appease Madam Luo, so she ignored…
As for Ye Muyu, she was not good at comforting others, especially since Madam Luo was an elder. She had not met her many times and was not familiar with her. Naturally, she would not speak casually. She did not know her personality. If she spoke casually, she might offend others.
On the other hand, the way Liu Cheng spoke showed that he was giving Madam Luo face.
After all, people would criticize them if they said that they would only share wealth but not hardship.
Although Madam Luo felt wronged, she had only suffered because of her own choice.
If her attitude towards the Wang family had been correct before the Wang family had met with any mishaps, and she had no intention of taking advantage of them, she would not be in this situation.
The same situation also occurred with Madam Zhang and Song Lu, the new Elementary Scholar.
If Song Lu was in the same predicament as the Wang Clan, Madam Zhang would have to choose whether she would want her family to go through thick and thin with them.
Everything was because, from the beginning, they had the intention to take advantage of the other party, but they had to be mentally prepared to be implicated by the other party.
The thoughts of Madam Luo and Madam Zhang were also what the general public would do. It was human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
There was no right or wrong.
Speaking of which, Liu Cheng’s words were right. Landlord Wang’s family clearly had other ideas.
If he only wanted silver, he could easily help sell the shop and get Master Wang Chuan to give him the silver. Why would he go around in circles and make people not dare to buy Wang Chuan’s courtyard and not accept the courtyard as silver? It was obvious that he had other plans.
Ye Muyu felt that there might be something inside that they did not know about.
Could it be the instructions for making shoes?
Or perhaps, he wanted the Master of the Wang family to sell himself and work for Landlord Wang for free in the future?
Ye Muyu could only think of the possibility that the value of the courtyard was either the craftsmanship or the people.
“Second Brother, Sister-in-law,” Maddam Liu, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke up.. “Then do you know what Landlord Wang wants?”
