Chapter 252: Admit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios“My child, quickly, tell me.”
Madam Wu panicked and pinched Xu Bowen.
Xu Bowen felt the pain and said, “Mother, it’s my fault. Let’s call off my engagement with the Chen family’s daughter.”
If not for Madam Wu saying how good it was to marry Chen Daniu, he would not have agreed.
In his impression, Chen Daniu was a little special and bold, but if they got married, he had to see her every day.
Su Yufang was beautiful and charming. She tempted him even more. In terms of boldness, Su Yufang was even more daring than Chen Daniu. She said that she had fallen in love with him at first sight and was willing to sacrifice herself for him.
She did not even care about her reputation. If he did not take responsibility for her, she would not be able to live. She was already so afraid. If he did not do something, she would not be able to live.
“You—you really piss me off.”
Madam Wu gritted her teeth. She was so angry that her heart hurt. She glared at Su Yufang, who was trembling and crying in Madam Zhou’s arms.
Su Yufang’s cries gradually subsided.
Madam Zhou immediately said, “Young Master Xu is a man. Please take responsibility for my daughter. I only have one daughter, and her reputation is gone just like that. You must give me an explanation!”
Xu Bowen’s words were equivalent to admitting that he had done something out of line to Su Yufang. In that case, his relationship with Chen Daniu would be over.
Madam Zhou naturally struck while the iron was hot. She had to quickly settle the matter.
“What explanation? I think your daughter is clearly up to no good.”
Madam Wu said angrily.
Madam Wu was so angry that she could vomit blood. She pinched Xu Bowen hard and said to him, “You damn child, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you hugging another woman on a day like today? She must have seduced you.”
Xu Bowen frowned in pain.
He looked at Su Yufang in Madam Wu’s arms. Their gazes met. Su Yufang’s tears flowed, making him feel uncomfortable. Su Yufang was bold, but he also liked her. Otherwise, he could have pushed her away.
He still remembered her fragrance. It was the same no matter who he married. He believed that Su Yufang was not inferior to Chen Daniu. Moreover, if he did not take responsibility now, his reputation would not be any better if this matter spread. He might as well take responsibility and leave a good reputation.
Xu Bowen mustered his courage and said, “Mother, this is all my fault. I can’t be a coward. I’m not fated with Chen Daniu. Even the heavens have arranged this. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t shirk my responsibility.”
Xu Bowen felt much more relaxed after saying it. He took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Madam Wu. “Auntie, I couldn’t help but make a mistake. Please forgive me. I’m willing to marry her and take responsibility for her.”
Madam Zhou hugged Su Yufang and looked at Xu Bowen. “At least you’re brave. Then let’s go to our house to discuss your marriage with Yufang. We have to make things clear today.”
Xu Bowen nodded and smiled at Su Yufang. Su Yufang seemed to be in a daze. She smiled shyly with tears in her eyes. Xu Bowen felt his heart fill up.
“All of you, get lost.”
Chen Hu roared in anger. He just wanted to get rid of these two shameless families. He was still waiting for an explanation, but Xu Bowen had admitted to this matter and said in public that he would take responsibility.
Chen Hu’s face darkened like a furious lion.
Madam Qian suddenly pushed Chen Hu away, picked up the broom in the corner, and hit Su Yufang and Xu Bowen. She scolded, “Get lost, get lost. My family doesn’t welcome you. Hurry up and get lost.”
Madam Zhou and Su Yufang screamed and ran.
Xu Bowen was very angry after being hit twice. He accused angrily, “You’re too rude. Fortunately, I didn’t get engaged with Chen Daniu yet. It’s really my bad luck to get married to a family like you.”
Xu Bowen was also running awkwardly.
Madam Qian chased after him but couldn’t catch him. She even threw a broom at him.
“You’re shameless. I think you’re the one who’s a scholar in vain. Your beastly actions have disgraced all the scholars in the world.”
Su Sanlang also spoke angrily.
Madam Wu and Mr. Xu also ran out dejectedly. The matter could not be resolved. Of course, Madam Wu would not side with the Chen family. She shouted, “You can’t take our things. If you don’t return them to me, I’ll sue you.”
“Take your stinking things and get out of my house.”
Chen Hu went to gather the betrothal gifts and threw them all out.
The Xu family’s relatives were very embarrassed. They silently followed Mr. Xu and Madam Wu out of the Chen family.
Everyone was speechless.
He was supposed to be engaged, but Xu Bowen ended up with another woman.
That’s very…
It was the first time they’d ever seen someone get chased out like this and humiliated.
Therefore, they all bade farewell to Mr. Xu and left.
The matchmaker, Madam Yang, also frowned with a troubled expression.
The Su family also gathered around Madam Zhou and Su Yufang.
Su Erlang smiled and said to Mr. Xu and Madam Wu, “In-law, please come over. My house is upstairs. Let’s go up and talk at home. The matchmakers are all here too. Let’s go together.”
Su Dalang’s family watched in disbelief.
Madam Li was the most shocked. She had never expected things to turn out like this. This Xu Bowen was about to become the grandson-in-law of the Su family in the blink of an eye.
Su Yufang was really lucky. Everyone said that Xu Bowen was knowledgeable and would definitely be able to pass the Elementary Scholar examination. She would be the wife of an Elementary Scholar in the future, and it would be even more impressive if he continued to pass the subsequent examinations.
Perhaps her family would have to beg the second branch for some meat soup in the future.
Madam Li immediately smiled and went forward to hold Su Yufang’s arm. She said with a smile, “Wen, our Yufang is a good girl. She’s good at everything. If you marry her, just wait to enjoy life.”
Mr. Xu and Madam Wu frowned. There were so many people in the Su family that they couldn’t leave even if they wanted to.
The matchmaker, Madam Yang, looked even more embarrassed. This was the first time she had seen something like this in her life.
This feeling was terrible. Fortunately, the Chen family did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, she really did not know how to end it.
Xu Bowen didn’t feel anything. In his opinion, it was more or less the same to marry a wife. Chen Daniu had a good family, but how good could it be? They were all women. No matter how good their family was, they wouldn’t really give much to an outsider.
He might as well marry someone better-looking. At least he would feel more comfortable and happy.
The Xu family and the Su family left.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, Su Chong, and Su Hua sent the villagers away together.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian were in low spirits and did not have the energy to care about these things.
Chen Shi and Chen Xing obediently stood beside Madam Qian and Chen Hu. Little Chen Xing stretched out his hand to wipe Madam Qian’s tears.
After settling everything, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao came to Chen Hu and Madam Qian’s side.
Su Chong and Su Hua had just returned home. It was not appropriate for them to say anything about this matter. It would be better for Madam Zhao and Madam Qian to comfort Chen Hu and Madam Qian.
Su Xiaolu was originally practicing her Internal Breath. When she heard the commotion, she came out to watch. Seeing that the matter had come to an end, she went to look for Su Xiaoling and the others. At this moment, Chen Daniu was the most important.
“Hu, Sister-in-law, don’t be sad.”
Madam Zhao sat beside Madam Qian and held her hand worriedly.
Madam Qian sighed and choked with tears. “Sister-in-law, what should Daniu do in the future?”
