I support the army through farming and business.

Chapter 104 Engagement Continues
Yang Zhui bowed and followed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his family.

Master Meng put away his folding fan and said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take Lin back to the palace to be punished. The promised 33-bearing dowry will be sent to the palace by the Meng family. Please ask the princess to deliver it on my behalf."

Princess Xuan nodded.

Meng Yuan borrowed the guards from the palace and forced Lin back to the Meng Mansion.

Tang Zhao was exhausted, "Father, Queen Mother, there are still matters waiting to be dealt with in the Bidan Courtyard. Zhaoshan will take his leave first."

"Go," Princess Xuan ordered Nanny Meng to personally send Tang Zhao back.

She looked at the people kneeling on the ground and asked, "In your opinion, Your Highness, how should we deal with Manager Lin and these bee catchers?"

King Xuan: "Send him to the Lanzhou government office and deal with him according to the laws of Dayu."

Chaohui Chaoyi personally suppressed the man, and all the guards standing in the room also retreated.

Without outsiders present, Princess Xuan couldn't hide her worry. "Your Highness, today's incident has caused a rift between the Loyalty and Bravery Marquisate and the Meng Mansion. I'm afraid it will shake the situation in the northwest."

King Xuan walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

"The civil officials and military commanders have always been at odds. Their public and private fights are of no concern to me. However, Lao Bai commands 30,000 troops. If the commander-in-chief harbors resentment, the northwest border defense will have an opportunity to exploit."

King Xuan looked at his son who was sitting in a chair and said, "Yuan Ye, it's time for you to return to the army."

Gu Ci nodded
Seeing the father and son talking about military affairs, Princess Xuan got up and left, opened the warehouse, selected a complete set of sapphire headwear and several pieces of fine brocade, and ordered someone to send them to the Bidan Courtyard.

In the Bidan Courtyard, Tang Zhao leaned on the bed and asked the system, "Is your heroine mentally perverted?"

[Host, please be careful with your words, you are my heroine]

Tang Zhao: “Ha!”

The system beeped twice in protest and then disappeared, and no matter how Tang Zhao called out, it made no sound.

Silence means consent. Tang Zhao sighed, thinking that the Loyal and Brave Marquis couple must have done a lot of evil in their previous life, which is why they only had one daughter, Bai Rouyin, in this life.

Can't count on it at all.

"Young lady, Sister Cuizhu from Minghui Hall has just been ordered to deliver a complete set of sapphire headpieces and several pieces of brocade. I have accepted them," Chunfeng reported from outside the bed curtains. "Xia Mo made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Please eat them before you go to sleep."

The sight of Bai Rouyin being doused in fecal water was so shocking that Tang Zhao hadn't eaten since returning home. After hearing what Chunfeng said, he felt even more nauseous and queasy. "I'm not eating anymore."

"Miss, you haven't eaten lunch yet. If you don't eat dinner, what will you do if you get hungry in the middle of the night?"

"I really can't eat anymore." Seeing Chunfeng's worried face, Tang Zhao compromised and said, "Okay, make me a bowl of porridge and a salted duck egg."

"Hey!" Chunfeng achieved his goal and hurried downstairs to ask Xiamo to cook porridge.

After drinking the porridge and taking a shower, Tang Zhao lay down in the warm quilt and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

In the mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, no one slept all night.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery thoroughly checked all the servants in the mansion and found out the family of Manager Qian who was secretly working for Bai Rouyin.

"It was all because of you, a bunch of lowly servants, that the young lady did such a foolish thing," Zhao slammed the table. "Come here, break the legs of Manager Qian and his family, and throw them out to the farm to fend for themselves!"

Manager Qian and his family were dragged away while wailing, "Madam, Madam, spare our lives!"

All the servants in the mansion knelt in the middle of the yard, under the light of the fire, watching Manager Qian and his family being beaten with a stick.

Some timid maids were so scared that they cried out.

The guard dragged Manager Qian, whose legs had been broken, off the bench and replaced him with his wife.

A shrill female voice echoed throughout the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's residence. After thirty strokes of the cane, Manager Qian's wife, covered in blood, was dragged off the bench. Under the gaze of everyone, the guards dragged her like a dead pig, leaving only two long bloodstains on the ground.

"Just because the Marquis of Zhongyong treats me with leniency doesn't mean you're allowed to lead the master astray! If I ever find out who dares to lead the young lady astray again, Steward Qian's family will serve as a warning!"

Zhao said coldly, "If you are not afraid of death, come and give it a try!"

All the servants in the mansion said in unison, "Your servants dare not."

Zhao took this opportunity to replace the people in Bai Rouyin's yard again, leaving only Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao's hopes were dashed, but she still had to put on a cheerful face.

In Jianjia Pavilion, Bai Rouyin stared at the ceiling of the bed with empty eyes.

Marquis Zhongyong and Yang Zhui sat outside the screen in silence.

After a long while, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery finally spoke, "Yang Qianfeng, Rouyin and you are not destined to be together. I think this marriage should be cancelled. The betrothal gift from the Yang family will be fully returned to my Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion."

Zhao paused as she stepped over the threshold.

"Cancel? Why should it be canceled?" The words "fate is not destiny" irritated Bai Rouyin sobered up instantly. She climbed off the bed and walked around the screen to shout at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "I've already been canceled once. Do I have to be canceled a second time?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery hurried into the inner chamber, hugged her daughter for a while to comfort her, and then said to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "What are you talking about, my Lord? How can such a big marriage be called off so easily? If this gets out, wouldn't the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and the Yang Mansion become a laughing stock?"

Zhao looked at Yang Zhui expectantly, "Son-in-law, what do you say?"

Yang Zhui Chong clasped his fists and said, "Mother-in-law, you are absolutely right. It was because I failed to protect Rouyin today that she suffered such humiliation. I ask you to give me a chance to correct my mistakes. I swear that I will do my best to protect Rouyin from now on."

He knelt on one knee and said, "I have admired Rouyin for a long time. I ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to fulfill my wish and continue the engagement."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was greatly shocked. "Is this true?"

Yang Zhui's face was full of sincerity, "Every word my son-in-law said came from the bottom of his heart."

"What a good son-in-law!" Zhao was overjoyed and urged the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "My Lord, why don't you help your son-in-law up quickly?"

The loyal and brave marquis helped Yang Zhui up, his eyes red, "Okay, okay, okay, with your words, this marquis is relieved."

Yang Zhui clasped his fists and said, "Then I will go back home first, discuss the wedding date with my parents, and then come to visit you."

"Okay!" Marquis Zhongyong personally escorted Yang Zhui out of the mansion.

In Jianjia Pavilion, Zhao couldn't stop smiling. She thought that the marriage with the Yang family would definitely fall through, but she didn't expect that there would be a turn of events and the engagement could still continue.

The Marquis has a very good vision.

"Rouyin, did you hear that? Don't worry, your parents will never allow your lifelong event to be ruined twice."

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Yang Zhui is a good man. Apart from anything else, his sense of responsibility alone is a million times better than Gu Ci's!"

If Gu Ci had any sense of responsibility as a man, he would not have broken the marriage contract they made since childhood and married another woman!

Bai Rouyin knelt barefoot on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. "I know I was wrong."

Zhao's eyes were red.

"My daughter promises that from now on, I will fulfill my duties as a wife, be filial to my parents, take care of my husband, raise my children, and will not bring shame upon my parents."

Zhao squatted down, hugged her daughter and burst into tears.

Zhao Zhao: Some babies say I am a delicate wife (ha, man, you have successfully caught my attention). I want to solemnly declare here that I have been a domineering CEO in both of my lives!
