Chapter 2 - Chen Family

"Sister, sorry we have to cancel this engagement." Madam Chen further explained in a polite yet disdainful tone.

"It's not that we want to lick our own saliva, but sister, we didn't expect that the prime minister's daughter really likes our Chen Li. As you know, our little family can't go against the prime minister's family. Aiyo .. I feel awkward in front of you. "

Madam Chen is a woman with dignity full of arrogance, her husband Chen Gong is a judge at the provincial level. As a person from a scholarly family, of course she is not equal to the merchant family.

Madam Go felt angry how and when Chen Li got to know the prime minister's daughter while he was already engaged to her son. Madame Go nonchalantly replied, "Oh ... is that so?"

Madam Chen nodded with a smile, "Sister, I know you are disappointed but we are also helpless. Our Chen Li has a handsome and handsome face, there are many girls who want to be his wives but I refuse all because I respect big sister and Xiao Mu. But this is the prime minister's daughter, although The Chen family is a scholarly family, you are just a provincial judge. Our family gap is very far away. And we are powerless to refuse a request from the prime minister. "

"What do you think Chen Li?" Madam Go asked directly, Chen Li got up from his chair and cupped his hands in a respectful manner.

"Auntie, I appreciate Xiao Mu all this time, never had the desire to reject or cheat on him. But as my mother said, I tried to tell Zhan Mei about my fiancé, but she didn't listen to me. She, the prime minister's favorite daughter. All her wishes. will be filled by the prime minister. I was also surprised when the prime minister's servant came to our manor. We wanted to refuse but we were unable, we also found it difficult. I hope aunty can understand. "

"But, you are already engaged to Mumu. If you refuse him now, how does Mumu have a future?"

Madam Chen took out a yellow silk handkerchief, wiping away the teardrops in the corners of her beautiful eyes. "Sister, I don't want to be like this either, I also care for Mumu like my own child. But ..." Madam Chen sighed, "We are helpless too."

Madam Go saw, although the looks on Madam Chen and Chen Li felt guilty, there was a radiant joy in Madam Chen's eyes and a sense of ambition in Chen Li's eyes. Madam Go sneered at them in her heart.

"This engagement has been established since they were still in the womb. The ancestors of both families agreed, if this is canceled, how can I face the ancestors." Madam Go looked at Chen Li, "What if Mumu becomes your second wife?"

Chen Li's face turned pale, Zhan Mei repeatedly asked him to break off the engagement cleanly, she did not accept women or other ger at Chen Li's side. The second level seat will be his. As a scholar, entering the government is a matter of pride, families can lift their chins.

Chen Li knelt down and bowed, "I'm sorry auntie .. I'm really helpless."

Seeing her son prostrate, Madam Chen helped him speak the words. "Sister, it wasn't Chen Li who decided that, Zhan Mei loved Chen Li very much. She is a jealous person, even she has asked Chen Li not to have a concubine. How can she accept Xiao Mu to become Chen Li's second wife? Sister, think carefully. -right, don't let Xiao Mu suffer in the future. "

Madam Go hit the table, "Then will only Mumu suffer a loss? Tell Su Ling, how much have we helped the Chen family get out of trouble."

Madame Chen's face became unsightly, a smile replaced with an arrogant face. "Big sister, don't be too proud. The Go family also has some benefits of being connected with our Chen family. Trading smoothly and making a profit, isn't this the benefit of being friends with our Lord?"

"Su Ling!"

"Big sister! We came here with good intentions and have explained the situation. Why are you still making things difficult for us? After all, Xiao Mu is a beautiful Ger, if you open vacancies there will be many traders who will propose to Xiao Mu. He will not lack a husband." Madam Chen stabbed back, giving the meaning that the merchant family only deserved to marry another merchant family. Don't dream of climbing up the family status of a scholar. “Regarding the losses suffered by Xiao Mu, we will definitely compensate you accordingly.”

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai who heard that felt furious, the Chen family was too arrogant. Those with no education also know that Chen Li wants to climb up to status through the prime minister's daughter. Despite their anger, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai stared at the second young master, studying Second Young Master's emotions from the look on his face.

There was no trace of emotion on the face of the Second Young Master, he was calm and composed. Slowly the second young master stepped on his feet and entered the main hall.

"Then, what compensation will I get?"
