"Oh, Lady Ni, what pretense is this! Don't you know exactly what you mean?"
"Or are you saying you don't understand the daughter you yourself raised?"
Lady Ni was so furious that she saw stars, her face turning ashen. She teetered, nearly fainting. General Ni hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"Madam, be careful!!"
General Ni's gaze turned sharply towards Old Master Xia and Lady Yao.
"For you to call off the engagement at this time is simply too outrageous!"
This behavior was utterly shameless. Any decent family would surely not jump out to make their presence felt at such a moment. Normally, one would quietly call off the engagement after the storm had passed. Everyone would feign ignorance, and after a couple of years, they would marry others, and the matter would not be mentioned.
But now... To be so anxious to draw a clear line with their in-laws was truly... appalling!
