Chapter 852 Ending the Old Relationship
"General?"
Guan Yan looked at the man in front of her, and her previous arrogance subsided considerably. She covered her slapped face, her face flushed red.
The general actually hit her in front of so many people. How can she ever face anyone again?
"What exactly have you done to make things escalate to this point, leaving everyone in an embarrassing situation? Do you feel better about it?"
General Zhao was furious, his voice trembling. He had a bad feeling as soon as he heard the news about Prince Gong's mansion.
His own son died on the battlefield, and he was his best son. Naturally, he was heartbroken and did complain at first, but now he has long since come to his senses.
It was fate and destiny. If my son hadn't been so reckless on the battlefield, he wouldn't have met such an end.
But the lady seemed to have gone mad; no matter what he said, she seemed not to understand, leaving him feeling deeply helpless.
"General, am I not telling the truth? Our son has been on the battlefield so many times and has always returned safely. Why is it that he didn't come back this time?"
Why was it that after the fortune teller said she was destined to bring misfortune to her husbands, my son died on the battlefield?
Guan Yan's voice grew increasingly sharp, and she even began to complain to General Zhao: "When I heard the news, I said I wanted to cancel the marriage, but you refused to agree and said that it was all a lie."
And then what?! And then he really died, and now you're blaming me?
"Enough!" General Zhao roared, his face flushed red with rage.
"It's been two whole years. I know you can't accept that your son is gone, so even though I know you're acting crazy and making a scene, I haven't held it against you."
Now that so much time has passed, you should have figured it out by now. No one stays in the same place forever, especially since Qingli was innocent to begin with.
As an elder, you're always picking on a younger person. Do you think that's appropriate?
"If you continue to act like this, you'll stay in the yard from now on and don't come out and cause trouble for anyone!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. Did this mean that General Zhao intended to confine Madam Zhao from now on?
"General Zhao has finally said something sensible!"
Jia Yueying pursed her lips. Back then, Prince Gong and General Zhao had an excellent relationship, and it was precisely because of this that the two families arranged the marriage.
It was a painful event for both sides, yet they insisted on blaming her daughter for everything. It's absolutely despicable!
Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen were the younger generation, so they weren't in a hurry to speak and just stood quietly in the back watching the show.
Ultimately, this matter was a feud between General Zhao's mansion and Prince Gong's mansion, and had little to do with the Song family.
If we rashly get involved at this time, it will not do them any good.
"Fifth Sister, are we just going to stand here and watch, and do nothing?"
Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow. "I've seen just how unreasonable Madam Zhao can be. The evidence is right in front of her, but she can ignore it, as if nothing happened as long as she doesn't admit it."
I'm truly amazed by how thick-skinned they are!
“She’s really a bit crazy, and her face doesn’t look good,” Song Ruozhen said, frowning.
Song Jingshen asked curiously, "Does she have an unpleasant appearance? How so?"
"Look at the meanness in her eyes and the thinness in her lips. If we're talking about people who are unlucky, she really is one of them."
If today's events can change her ways, that would be good. But if she continues like this, after her son's accident, her husband will soon be in trouble too.
Song Ruozhen's eyes were deep and dark. She had done so many bad things, how could she not have received retribution?
We haven't reported it before, but now we really have to!
Song Jingshen was startled and turned to look at Madam Zhao. He had to admit that after listening to his fifth sister analyze the faces of some people, he felt that Madam Zhao's face was indeed suspicious in every way.
"So, does that mean her son was cursed to death by her?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, "You could say that."
Qiu Hou happened to overhear Song Ruozhen's words, and his heart skipped a beat. He had no doubt about the abilities of the Princess Consort of Chu, but this news was simply too astonishing.
If Madam Zhao knew, she would probably go even crazier.
"General Zhao, our Qiu family did nothing in this matter. It was just that my son was appreciated by Prince Gong by chance, and after exchanging a few words with him, rumors about his engagement were spread."
Today we went to Prince Gong's Mansion specifically to apologize, only to find out that the person behind it all was actually Madam Zhao. Therefore, we demand an explanation!
Lord Qiu spoke first, explaining that their purpose in coming today was to clarify the matter.
If this matter is handled well, the Prince Gong's Mansion, the Song family, and the Prince Chu's Mansion will all be very satisfied with them.
General Zhao now understood the whole story and was extremely embarrassed to learn that his wife had done such an outrageous thing.
"Lord Qiu, this matter was our fault, and I apologize to you."
"Once today's troubles are resolved, I will definitely visit you in person to apologize another day. I truly had no idea that my wife had dragged you into this; it's a completely undeserved misfortune."
General Zhao bowed deeply, his expression filled with remorse.
The next moment, he looked at Prince Gong and said, "After what has happened, I have no face to see you."
We will take full responsibility, and I promise that I will keep my wife in check from now on and will never let her misbehave again!
"Old Zhao, we've known each other for so many years and have always had a good relationship. We originally planned to become even closer through marriage, but I never expected it to end like this."
Prince Gong's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he slowly spoke:
"Over the past two years, I have known that your wife has been targeting my daughter and wife. I originally thought that you are a reasonable person and would definitely resolve this matter properly."
I didn't want to ruin our friendship of so many years, and I kept thinking that things would be resolved after some time.
Two years have passed without us realizing it, and only today have we taken the initiative to come to them demanding an explanation.
Upon hearing Prince Gong's words, General Zhao's heart skipped a beat, sensing something ominous. "Prince Gong, you..."
"Listen to me first."
Prince Gong raised his hand to interrupt General Zhao, "Back then, you and I became sworn brothers. For the sake of our brotherhood, I have let down my daughter and my wife."
Over the past two years, I have watched them suffer a lot of injustices, and I have mixed feelings. Until today, I feel that it is time.
I have no doubts about my actions and have done nothing wrong. From this day forward, our friendship is completely severed.
"If I ever hear of you ruining my daughter's reputation or trying to break up her engagement again, don't blame me for being heartless!"
