As soon as she said this, there was a sudden silence.
Even the cold wind in the courtyard seemed to have become colder.
Murong Yong and the two young masters of the Murong family who accompanied him to welcome the bride were stunned.
If the Marquis Household was unwilling to remedy the situation, they could have rejected Madam Murong in the morning. Now that they had reached the stage of welcoming her personally, and the bridal sedan chair had already arrived, the Marquis Mansion said the marriage was over?!
Were they trying to become enemies!
Shangqing Spiritual Master frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed in his untainted eyes.
The white horse under Murong Yong quickly paced a few times, breathing heavily through its nose and mouth. Granny Li took a step back in shock.
Murong Yong’s expression was a little solemn. He tightened his right hand on the reins and asked politely, “Why?”
‘But what did the Murong family do to make Madam unhappy?
How could Granny Li know? Since the Marquis Household didn’t allow servants to be present in the ancestral hall, she had only entered to spread the news of the Murong family’s arrival. She only heard Madam say that the Murong family was pushing their luck and didn’t take the Marquis Household seriously.
She didn’t know what else was going on, nor did she dare to guess.
Granny Li forced a polite smile and braced herself. “This is Madam’s intention.”
‘Second Young Master Murong, please leave.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Li turned around and left. She felt like she was fleeing and couldn’t wait to return to the Benevolent Harmony Hall to report.
The gatekeeper also had a headache and politely extended his hand to Murong Yong.
The atmosphere around them was colder and stiffer.
Initially, the Murong family had a favor to ask of them to rush joy. It was their family who was in the weaker position. However, at this point, the Marquis Mansion broke off the engagement on the spot without giving any reason. It was simply a slap to the man’s face!
As the saying went, killing was no more than nodding one’s head. There was no greater humiliation than this.
Since the Marquis Household was so ruthless, there was no need for him to be polite. He had to get an explanation.
Murong Yong’s expression darkened. His expression was cold as he leaped off his horse and strode into the door. He said, “I want to see Madam Gu!”
How could the gatekeeper sit back and watch him barge into the Marquis
Mansion? He hurriedly shouted, Second Young Master Murong, please wait!”
The guards of the Marquis Mansion hurriedly went forward to stop Murong Yong.
However , Murong Yong wasn’t alone. The people from the Murong family who came to welcome the bride naturally couldn’t take this lying down and followed him in.
One side wanted to stop them, and the other wanted to barge in. The two sides faced each other, ready to fight.
There was a commotion at the outer gate and it was getting more and more noisy. Only Shangqing Spiritual Master stood calmly near the gate, his clothes fluttering. He looked like he was uninvolved.
The servants of the Marquis Mansion didn’t know what to do, so they went to report to Butler Zhou and asked if they should ask the Marquis to come out.
Butler Zhou was also confused. He could only send more guards and servants to the outer gate.
Although the servants of the Marquis Mansion had taken their weapons and clubs, they were still restrained and didn’t dare to be heavy-handed with the Murong family. After all, without their master’s instructions, they couldn’t afford to hurt anyone.
There was chaos at the gate.
Regarding this, Madam Gu pretended to be deaf and mute. Even Gu Jian and Madam Wang didn’t appear.
After all, Third Madam was a widow and it wasn’t convenient for her to show her face.
In the end, it was still Butler Zhou’s wife who personally made a trip to the main courtyard to ask the Marquis and Madam for instructions.
However, she couldn’t even enter the main courtyard and was stopped by a maidservant.
‘Since the Eldest Lady doesn’t want to marry, deal with it yourself,” Madam Wang said with a cold smile. “Marquis, don’t interfere in this matter.’
Madam Wang had already made up her mind not to appear. As for how to discuss the annulment with the Murong family, she would let the third and eldest branches handle it themselves.
This matter has really embarrassed the whole family!
As she thought about it, all kinds of emotions flashed across Madam Wang’s face.
Gu Jian replied absent-mindedly.
The maid who had come to report retreated obediently, her footsteps silent.
Madam Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She still felt uneasy, so she waved away the other servants in the house.
‘Marquis.” Madam Wang grabbed Gu Jian’s sleeve and stared into his eyes.
“What’s wrong with Mother today?”
‘How would I know?” Gu Jian said impatiently. His right shoulder was still throbbing, making him unable to calm down.
He had never seen his mother like this since he was young..
