If this was exposed now, wouldn't it be a huge joke?
Although Li Cun would be the laughingstock, he looked too pitiful. People naturally sympathize with the underdog, and if they turned around and blamed Jing, wouldn't that just cause him trouble?
He had just placed first in the exam, and many already found the result questionable. If a scene were made now, it wouldn't reflect well on Jing.
However, when it came to his own marriage, Zhao Jing had no intention of being vague.
He enunciated every subsequent word with perfect clarity.
"De'an's paternal cousin and I broke off our engagement. My family elders then personally went to the main branch of their family to ask for his older sister's hand. On the twentieth of the first month, his sister and I were married."
BOOM. It was as if a bomb had gone off in Li Cun's head.
'Was that my brain?'
'If it was, how am I still alive? Why don't I just drop dead?!'
