Chapter 126 is not something you can bully at will.
Chapter 126 is not something you can bully at will.
This jade pendant was a token of love given by the Lang family.
They said, "How could a pie fall from the sky and just happen to land in their house? It turns out it was a trap!"
Enraged, Zhao Sanshi snatched the Hetian jade pendant from Wang's hand and was about to smash it.
"Sanshi, calm down! This jade pendant is worth over a hundred taels of silver!"
If they break it and the Lang family demands compensation, they won't be able to afford it even if they sell everything they own!
It's okay to be angry, but you shouldn't act impulsively.
Zhao Sanshi's brows were tightly furrowed into a "川" shape, and the veins on his temples bulged slightly.
Finally, he lowered his arm, tried his best to control his anger, and handed the jade pendant to Wang.
He yelled, "So what if you have money? How dare you treat people like this?"
I'm going to the Lang family right now and annul this marriage!
Zhao Yu's eyes were also filled with anger. His sister had already lost half her life before she even got married. If she were to get married, she would probably be devoured by the Lang family until there was nothing left but bones!
"Father, I'll go with you!"
They didn't touch any of the things the Lang family had sent them; they returned them all.
Grandma Sun and Grandpa Zhao rushed over after hearing the news.
At that moment, Grandma Sun realized that Madam Peng had taken a liking to Zhao Xinghua at first sight and immediately offered betrothal gifts to the Zhao family the next day because she didn't take them seriously at all.
Old Mrs. Sun cursed loudly, "The Lang family has done such a heartless thing, they deserve to be struck by lightning, and I will fight them to the death!"
Just as everyone was clamoring to teach the Lang family a lesson, Wang asked Zhao Taohua worriedly:
"Peach Blossom, now that this jade pendant has severed its connection with the apricot blossoms, it can no longer harm my apricot blossoms, right?"
Zhao Taohua nodded: "However, Aunt, we must also be careful not to let Xinghua and Langyuan exchange tokens of love again in the future."
Once the exchange occurs, it means that their connection is re-established, and their essence is shared again.
Thinking back to when she accidentally fell into the river, Zhao Xinghua asked with lingering fear:
"Sister Peach Blossom, what will happen if I accidentally drown today?"
"Your essence will be completely transferred to the other party, who will receive your essence."
Zhao Taohua replied.
Zhao Xinghua clutched the quilt and gritted her teeth. She never imagined that the honor of being the young mistress of the Lang family, which she had always been so proud of, would require her to give her life for it!
That day, everyone in the Zhao family's old house loaded all the money given by the Lang family onto an oxcart, preparing to go to the Lang family to break off the engagement.
Seeing that his family didn't have enough oxcarts and the others had to walk to Lang's house, Zhao Xiangping lent them his oxcarts.
How could the girls from Zhao Family Village be treated so badly?
We are all human beings, so who is more noble than whom?
Young Master Lang's life is his own life, but other people's lives aren't?
Just as the people at the Zhao family's old house were preparing to leave, Zhao Taohua spoke up:
"Uncle and Aunt, you should just go to the Lang family to break off the engagement. At most, you'll just be indulging in a moment of verbal sparring. Put those things down and curse the Lang family a couple of times."
Perhaps the Lang family will be the subject of speculation from their neighbors, but afterward, the Lang family will cover it up, so it will actually have no real impact on them.
"You've come all the way to the county town, is this all you want?"
Zhao Taohua dislikes people who bully others because they think that people from the countryside are powerless and easy to bully.
Do they deserve to be bullied?
Even if you know you're being bullied, you can't really cause any trouble, right?
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhao Taohua's eyes. Madam Peng had miscalculated.
The people of Zhao Family Village are not to be bullied.
The people at the Zhao family's old house were taken aback when they heard Zhao Taohua's words; they did indeed think just as Zhao Taohua had said.
If the outcome only has a minor impact on the Lang family, they will indeed be dissatisfied.
Grandma Sun quickly realized something, got off the oxcart, and ran towards Zhao Taohua.
"Peach Blossom, do you have any ideas?" Grandma Sun asked.
Zhao Taohua nodded: "I'll go back to the embroidery shop to get some things. I'll go with you."
When the village chief and clan head heard this news from Zhao Xiangping, they were so angry that they also wanted to go to the Lang family to demand an explanation.
If it weren't for the fact that the other elders were too old, they would have insisted on going along.
The villagers of Zhao Family Village are all worldly-wise.
Everyone has seen all sorts of evil spirits and monsters.
Either people got infected by accident, or it originated in the village and caused damage.
No one has ever set a trap for Zhao Family Village, using evil magic to steal the essence from the people of Zhao Family Village, and then using that essence to obtain coexistence.
The village chief and clan head knew perfectly well what the Lang family's motives were.
After Zhao Taohua returned to the embroidery workshop to retrieve her belongings, she placed them on her own oxcart.
Since Zhao Taohua was going, Uncle Zhao and Madam Qian naturally had to go with her.
Qian asked with some concern, "Taohua, will it be alright for just the few of us to go?"
I've heard that wealthy families have many servants.
“Mother, it’s alright. They have servants, and we have…” Zhao Taohua said, her gaze falling on the five spirit monsters in the courtyard, “You can all go together.”
Shen Ming drove the oxcart, inside which sat members of the Zhao family, the village chief, the clan leader, and the four spirits.
Because the argumentative guy was so big, he could only sit outside with Shen Ming.
The oxcart slowly headed towards the county town. Zhao Xinghua never expected that her whole family would come out for her sake, including the village chief, the clan head, and her second uncle's family.
Even more surprisingly, Zhao Taohua brought along the five spirit monsters from her household!
By the time the oxcart arrived at the He family residence in the county town, it was already 7:45 PM.
Three oxcarts were parked in front of the He family mansion, making the He family servants somewhat apprehensive.
Zhao Taohua got off the oxcart, slipped ten large coins to the gatekeeper, and said:
"Brothers, please do me a favor. I am Zhao Taohua from Zhao Family Village. Madam He ordered a batch of important goods from me, and I rushed over to deliver them. Please pass on a message to Madam He."
Recently, Mrs. He's embroidery business in the county town has been doing well, and she has been staying at her parents' home in the county town for almost a month.
The servants of the He family had also heard about Madam He's business, and that she was about to open another shop in the prefecture.
Sure enough, someone is still coming to deliver goods at this hour.
In order not to delay his young mistress's business, the servant immediately said, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report right away."
Madam He had already gone to bed. She was quite surprised that Zhao Taohua would send her embroidery so late. Madam He asked Yuhe to invite her to the front hall.
Zhao Taohua asked everyone to help carry the embroidery into the He residence.
When Madam He came out, she saw about a dozen people from Zhao Family Village.
Among them was the village chief of Zhao Family Village, and the little girl who had been favored by Madam Peng earlier, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts.
At that moment, Mrs. He's heart skipped a beat, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.
Could their arrival in the county town so late be related to Jingya?
Madam He tentatively asked, "Miss Zhao, is there anything else you've come to the county town for?"
Zhao Sanshi was so angry that he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on the Lang family for what they had done to Zhao Xinghua, but the village chief stopped him with a single glance.
Now that the peach blossoms are here, it's more appropriate and carries more weight to say it's about the peach blossoms.
