Chapter 572: Chapter 292 Chase_1

Prince Consort Pan also felt uncomfortable in his heart. He greatly admired Liang Jinzhao, thinking him promising, good-natured, and handsome, an excellent match for his granddaughter. Moreover, with Family Head Liang Zechong handling affairs smoothly and having a sharp political acumen, this family could be considered a blessing for the girl. Alas, Lady Cui spoiled everything.

When he spoke the words to call off the engagement, everyone in the Liang family was extremely shocked.

No matter how the Liang family begged, even with Liang Jinzhao kneeling with teary eyes, it failed to change Prince Consort Pan and Qian Manjiang’s decision. They only emphasized one thing, this time Madam Liang was deeply offended, and although it was Lady Cui’s doing, it was also because of the Qian family.

They nearly said outright, daring to marry off one’s daughter after offending a future mother-in-law to this extent?

After Prince Consort Pan and Qian Manjiang left, Liang Zechong saw how distressed Liang Jinzhao was and scolded, "Is it worth it? A man can always find another wife. Besides, Miss Qian isn’t promised to another family, you just have an equal chance with others now. Just try harder..."

Liang Jinzhao sadly said, "Grandson is useless, couldn’t even hold onto a promise. Now that the promise is gone, what use is there in trying harder? Before, when her family was in the countryside, even separated by a thousand mountains and rivers, we could still see each other a few times a year. But now, her family is merely ten miles from ours, and I find seeing her once harder than reaching the heavens."

Liang Zechong raised his voice and shouted, "You built the unprecedented Pili Camp, and you can’t pursue a young lady? If there’s no chance, create one, you fool!"

He then sneered at Liang Yiqian, "Your wife must be extremely pleased, this marriage arrangement truly got disrupted. Using the elders’ heartache, the son’s sorrow, and her own face, she fulfilled some people’s wishes. How capable she is!"

Liang Yiqian knelt down, saying with great sorrow, "Father, I am sorry. It is your son’s lack of vigilance that allowed the woman to ruin a major family matter."

"Useless fool, can’t even manage a woman," Liang Zechong cursed, and flinging a teacup from the table at Liang Yiqian.

When Qian Yixiu heard that the verbal agreement with Liang Jinzhao was completely canceled, she was filled with disappointment. She thought she would breathe a sigh of relief, but instead, her heart felt hollow and she was extremely uncomfortable.

Since her arrival, apart from Zhu Sujin and the Little Monk, the other men she had most contact with were Uncle Liang and Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was decent, a truly economically suitable man. Unfortunately, with a large age gap, before she, the "young girl," could grow up, he was taken by Huang Yue’e.

Actually, Uncle Liang was really good, a person with well-rounded development in virtue, intelligence, and physique. The key was mutual understanding, he had none of the bad habits of aristocratic family sons, and he treated her well, with her reciprocating feelings. Such a man was extremely hard to find in ancient times. It was a pity that Auntie Liang didn’t like her and she had deeply offended her this time.

That night, Qian Yixiu actually dreamed of Liang Jinzhao. All night he chased her, wielding a stick, scaring her so much she ran for her life the entire night. When she woke up the next day, she felt sore all over and her head was heavy.

Zi Zhu whispered in her ear, "Big Miss, it’s time to get up."

Qian Yixiu didn’t respond and drifted back into a groggy sleep.

Zi Zhu called her several times but couldn’t wake her and reached out to touch her forehead, crying out in fright, "Oh no, so hot."

Hearing the commotion, Sister Gong, Blue Bead, and others ran in. Sister Gong touched Qian Yixiu’s forehead and hurriedly sent Blue Bead to inform Master Qian to summon the Imperial Physician to treat the Big Miss.

After taking medicine and sweating it out, Qian Yixiu slept all day, vaguely hearing Grandfather Sangui, Grandma Wu, Father Jiang, Old Master Pan, and others come to see her. Especially her young mother, who cried by her side for a long time before finally being persuaded to leave with difficulty.

She also seemed to hear Father Jiang whispering in her ear, "If your heart truly desires him, father will shamelessly try again, don’t dwell on it and ruin your health..."

She felt better in the evening. Sitting up, she leaned against the headboard and drank a bowl of vegetable porridge. Remembering Father Jiang’s words, she found it slightly amusing.

To think they assumed she’d get lovesick like her young mother.

This chill must have come from sweating in her dream from the night’s agitation, kicking off the covers, and then catching cold.

Right after eating, the Little Monk arrived. He had been taken away by someone from the Liang Mansion in the morning and had come running to see her as soon as he returned.

He too could treat illnesses. After taking Qian Yixiu’s pulse, he said with a serious demeanor, "Sister is already out of danger. Just take medicine two more times and pay attention to keeping warm."
