After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 137: Not Being an Opera Singer Was Really a Waste of Talent

The Wu family knew that they couldn't let them continue to make a fuss like this.

Old Lady Wu and Lady Wu came out to assist Old Lady Shi up and coaxed her nicely.

She wasn't haughty like this when she discussed the marriage with the Wu family previously.

Old Lady Shi was still crying, but she was proud of herself.

Although that wretched girl was a little ruthless, she was very good at suggesting ideas.

Just now, Old Lady Wu actually ignored her and even looked at her with a disdainful gaze when she was speaking with her.

Now, she was turning the table around and let her beg her.

She did not agree immediately but continued to cry and complain.

"My family really doesn't have 1000 taels of silver. My entire family can fork out 2 taels of silver after combining our efforts. I beg your mercy."

As she spoke, she actually wanted to kneel down to Old Lady Wu.

That wretched girl had said that the 2 two taels of silver as their betrothal gifts and 1000 taels for dowry had to be conveyed to the Wu family in public.

They shouldn't be dragged back to the Wu family's house for negotiation.

Otherwise, the Wu family would definitely coerce and claim that they weren't involved in this scandal.

Moreover, she was still holding back.

So what if she was an old lady from the countryside? Her son was a tongsheng.

She was the one whose innocence had been sullied.

They were the victims.

She was so righteous.

She even deliberately smeared snot and tears on Old Lady Wu and Lady Wu, causing them to be extremely disgusted.

They wanted nothing more than to have their servants beating this shameless old fellow to death.

However, they could not do that in front of everyone.

They were aggrieved but still had to coax her in a low voice on the surface, as if they would discuss this matter nicely when they got back.

However, because of Shi Qingluo's reminder, Old Lady Shi did not fall for it and insisted on settling it at the Wu family's main entrance.

Old Lady Wu and Eldest Young Master Wu were so aggrieved that they were going crazy.

They repeatedly shot glances at Master Wu and Eldest Young Master Wu.

Mdm Niu and the others also started to throw tantrums.

They were more shameless than the people from the Xiao family.

They sobbed loudly, "Come, everyone, come and see how the Wu family is bullying us.

"After selling our land and house, how are we going to survive? They are forcing us to do so without giving us a means to live."

Third Son Shi went closer to Fourth Son Shi and whispered a few words.

Fourth Son Shi's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Then, he walked forward with a helpless look on his face and a bitter smile. "Mother, it's my fault. I've implicated all of you.

"I previously believed that it wasn't easy for women to have their opinions heard. Miss Wu did that to me because she likes me and wants to marry me.

"If the Wu family sent her to be a monk, or if she didn't manage to have a clear state of mind, I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
