Chapter 1716: Chapter 1718: Only the Dead Can Keep Silent
Old Madam Luo did not respond to the marriage proposal, but instead asked Yang Chuxia, "What does Madam Ye plan to do about this matter? Or rather, what do you want the Luo Family to do?"
Hearing Old Madam Luo ask twice about her intentions, Yang Chuxia realized that this old woman was already convinced that she was behind these events, which was indeed true.
Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and then smiled, "What I want is not important. What’s important is to see what the Luo Family will do."
"So Madam Ye is admitting that the matters with Linfei are your doing?" Old Madam Luo asked again.
"Did I say that? I clearly said nothing," Yang Chuxia spread her hands and continued to smile, "Old Madam Luo, let’s not beat around the bush. Didn’t you ask what I want? My goal is very clear, and you should know what it is."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Luo closed her eyes for a moment before speaking with her cloudy old eyes, "I also think the marriage between Linyu and the Li Family’s young man is not suitable, so let’s cancel it."
"Mother, how can this be?" First Madam Luo was the first to jump out in opposition, "My family has already started preparing, just waiting for Linyu’s coming of age to marry. Even relatives and friends know about this. If we suddenly go back on our word, will I still have face to return to my family? It would be utterly disgraceful!"
"What’s more important, your family or your daughter!" At these words, Old Madam Luo immediately shouted, wishing to send her muddle-headed daughter-in-law away.
What a fool, can’t you see that Yang Chuxia is using Linfei’s situation to threaten again? What is she going through all these troubles for? Isn’t it all for Linyu!
"Perhaps in the heart of First Madam Luo, her nephew is more important."
After speaking, Yang Chuxia again smiled and turned to Old Madam Luo, suddenly intensifying her tone, "Old Madam Luo, it’s best if you can realize that Linyu and the Li Family’s young man are not a good match. If that’s the case, I’m sure you can resolve the betrothal gifts issue. Three days from now, I will wait for the good news at Prince An’s Mansion."
With that, Yang Chuxia quickly grabbed all the handkerchiefs and sachets of Luo Linfei from the table into her hand, "Once Linyu’s betrothal gifts are returned and handed to me, and the marriage document with the government is canceled, I will naturally return these to you. As for the matter of the mole, I will naturally make sure people keep their mouths shut. However, my patience has limits. If it exceeds three days, who knows what might happen."
"Fine, I will definitely go to Prince An’s Mansion in three days, but... him!" Old Madam Luo pointed at Liu, "I want him to stay first, because I believe only dead men tell no tales."
Hearing this, Liu was immediately frightened and shrank back.
"Impossible!" Yang Chuxia directly refused, "The person I brought in standing will leave standing. I’ve said he won’t go out and blab, and he won’t. After this matter is resolved, I will send him out of the Capital City and he will never return. But if you think you can kill someone, that’s absolutely not allowed!"
"Madam Ye, this time there’s no Prince Zhuang. In my Luo Family, it’s still possible to kill someone," Old Master Luo continued.
As soon as he heard that Yang Chuxia had come to the residence, he returned, and he had also inquired about the purpose of Yang Chuxia’s visit.
New grudges combined with old ones, Old Master Luo certainly did not plan to let Yang Chuxia go.
"Old Master Luo, you don’t think I came to the Luo Residence unprepared, do you? Let me tell you this, my people are right at the entrance of the Luo Residence. If I’m not out within another quarter of an hour, they will head to the Prince’s mansion and the palace. Then, what happens next is up to you to decide."
