Chapter 23 Sun Qingqing's Fiancé
Sun Qingqing looked at Tu Yong's stern face, and her hands pressed on the ground gradually clenched into fists.
She questioned dissatisfiedly: "Godfather, are you really so heartless? Have you forgotten my father who died tragically?
How are you going to explain to my father after a hundred years if you treat me like this?"
"What do you think I should tell him?"
Tu Yong stood up abruptly, his tall figure looking down at Sun Qingqing, giving her a great sense of oppression. "I raised his daughter for him, so do I still owe him something?"
Sun Qingqing really didn't like this height difference. Tu Yong was tall and mighty, and now that he stood up and she was kneeling on the ground, she looked particularly humble and insignificant.
But why?
She also has a father and a mother, and is the daughter of a good family, not a servant of the Tu family!
Why did the Tu family treat her like this?
Thinking of this, Sun Qingqing could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
She also stood up suddenly. Although she was still not as tall as Tu Yong and had to tilt her head back to look him in the eye, it was much better than when she was kneeling before.
She stared at Tu Yong intently, uttering angrily, "Godfather, did you really raise me for my own good?
Don't you think I'm pretty and want to use me to win people's hearts, so you raised me hypocritically?
"You've been treating me well these years, but what's the truth? Do you dare to swear to heaven that you treat me the same way you treat Tu Jiaojiao?"
When she said this, she suddenly pointed at Tu Jiaojiao and said, "After all, she is your biological daughter, and she is the only one you are sincere to!
If she wants to marry Xie Xiu, just let her marry, build a house for them, and prepare a lot of dowry!
But what about me? Have you ever asked me what I really want?
You didn't care whether I liked it or not, and you arranged my marriage and asked me to marry Song Xingzhou!
He was a farmer with little wealth and a sickly old mother at home.
He could neither study nor make money through business. Apart from some martial arts and the occasional hunting experience, what other skills did he have?
You made me marry someone like that, aren't you deliberately humiliating me and wanting me to be trampled under Tu Jiaojiao's feet for the rest of my life?!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and at the end she almost shouted.
However, what Sun Qingqing didn't know was that Song Xingzhou was standing outside at this time and heard everything she said clearly.
His face quickly turned gloomy, but he did not go into the inner room. He just stood outside silently, wanting to hear what other words Sun Qingqing could say that were worse than pigs and dogs.
Inside, Tu Yong looked at Sun Qingqing with a sullen expression, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment: "So this is what you think! You look down on Song Xingzhou, so you think I'm hurting you?
But since you looked down on him, why didn't you tell me when I asked you? I remember I asked you what you thought and you agreed! "
He did ask at that time, but how could Sun Qingqing recognize him?
She sneered, "How dare I not agree? I'm still living in the Tu family. I'm your goddaughter, and my future is all in your hands! If I dare not agree, who knows what kind of disgusting man you will find for me?"
"Okay, okay, it turns out that I raised you, chose a husband for you, and arranged your marriage, but now it's my fault! I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken you home in the first place. I should have let you live with your mother!
After all, she is your biological mother. If you had stayed with her all these years, you wouldn't have any complaints no matter how she arranged things for you."
Tu Yong sneered in disappointment, then said, "Since you feel that marrying Song Xingzhou is unfair to you, I will go to the Song family in person later, cancel the engagement for you, and send you to find your mother!"
Upon hearing this, Song Xingzhou immediately said in a loud voice: "Master Tu, there is no need to go to such trouble. I am right here. I have also brought the marriage certificate and the token of engagement from that day. I can cancel the engagement now."
As soon as he said this, Tu Yong and Sun Qingqing's expressions changed at the same time.
Tu Yong glanced at Sun Qingqing, strode outward, and saw Song Xingzhou as expected.
At this time, he had already sat down. He was handsome, with an upright posture, and looked elegant and heroic.
Even though he was wearing a coarse cloth shorts, he didn't look like an ordinary farmer, but rather like a poor young man from a military family.
Tu Yong looked at his demeanor and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Such a good man, how rare is it? But Sun Qingqing is blind and cruel, even looking down on a potential talent like Song Xingzhou. If he hadn't done Song Xingzhou a favor, why would Song Xingzhou and Sun Qingqing be engaged?
Well, since Sun Qingqing doesn't want to, why should he continue to make Song Xingzhou suffer for this girl?
Thinking of this, Tu Yong's face was filled with shame. He bowed to Song Xingzhou and said apologetically, "My dear nephew Xingzhou, I have let you down this time..."
Song Xingzhou didn't expect him to be so sincere. He quickly stood up and supported him, preventing him from bowing. "Master Tu, please don't do this. Xingzhou trusts you. You just found out that Miss Sun didn't want to. How can you be blamed for this? After all, Xingzhou is of humble status and has nothing. I'm not worthy of Miss Sun."
He already knew what Sun Qingqing had done, and after hearing what he had just heard, he naturally knew that Tu Yong was not to blame. After all, it was Sun Qingqing who had a vicious mind, despised the poor and loved the rich, and looked down on him as a farmer.
Tu Yong raised Sun Qingqing, a great favor to her. But Sun Qingqing had no intention of repaying him, and instead harbored ulterior motives. She conspired with an outsider to switch Tu Yong's newborn daughter, nearly killing the child.
Compared to him, the Tu family was harmed more miserably by Sun Qingqing.
Moreover, although he and Sun Qingqing were engaged, they had not yet married. Now that he could know Sun Qingqing's true face, it was actually a good thing for him.
Otherwise, if he only knew about Sun Qingqing's thoughts after they got married, he would probably be pissed to death by this woman!
Just as Song Xingzhou thought of this, he saw Sun Qingqing suddenly rushing out from the inner room.
She looked at him with complicated eyes, and a layer of frost seemed to cover her pretty face: "You are right, it is true that you are not worthy of me, so I am not wrong.
You should know that the most taboo in a marriage between two surnames is that the two are not of equal age. You are not old yet, so you should know your own limitations. Now that you are not worthy of me, forcing me to marry you will only harm you.
Song Xingzhou really didn't want to hear her harsh words, so he quickly said, "Miss Sun is right. Marriage is a big deal, and it's all about mutual consent. Since you don't want to, let's cancel the engagement now and have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
Sun Qingqing originally had a lot to say, but now that Song Xingzhou interrupted her, she didn't know how to continue.
After all, Song Xingzhou had already said he wanted to cancel the engagement, and it would be awkward for her to use those words to lecture him again.
So she went back to get the token of love and the marriage certificate, and Tu Yong asked the village head to help witness the ceremony, and the two of them broke off the engagement.
After breaking off the engagement, Song Xingzhou did not stay in the Tu family for long. After exchanging brief pleasantries with Tu Yong and others, he said goodbye and left.
When he left, he didn't even look at Sun Qingqing.
Sun Qingqing felt his indifference and couldn't help but feel angry: Why did Song Xingzhou ignore her like this? Wasn't he sad at all for breaking off the engagement with her?
Humph, this person must be heartbroken, but he is just too proud to show it.
No wonder I dare not look at her.
Unfortunately, she really looked down on farmers like Song Xingzhou. She was beautiful, talented, and very good at needlework. She was destined to marry a scholar or even a juren, and become an official's wife in the future.
Sun Qingqing tightly grasped the token she had just retrieved and said calmly, "Since the matter has been settled, I will go back first."
She was about to leave when Xie Xiu suddenly said, "Who said it's over? Your marriage with Song Xingzhou has been called off, but your relationship with the Tu family hasn't been severed yet."
When Sun Qingqing heard this, she immediately became a little flustered: "What do you mean?"
Xie Xiu simply said, "What do you mean? You'll know when your mother arrives. I've already sent someone to pick them up, and I think they'll be here soon."
Sun Qingqing was now even more panicked: What did Xie Xiu mean by this? Did he still want to kick her out of the Tu family?
