Just in time

  On the left side, four madams, five madams, and two young ladies, including four young ladies, were seated in a row. On the right side, there was a man wearing brocade clothes. The man's appearance was quite handsome, but his eyes were staring at the several young ladies on the opposite side, with a lewd expression. Finally, his gaze stopped on Miss Ouyang Jintu, and after careful scrutiny, he seemed very satisfied, revealing a sly smile.

  When she saw Ouyang Jinqiu enter, the second lady snorted disdainfully.

  Ouyang Jinqiu walked straight to the hall, without bowing or kneeling, and looked at Old Master Ouyang, asking: "I don't know why Father called me over, what's the matter?"

  That's right, it's always acted like this in TV dramas, shouldn't be wrong, right?

  Actually, Ouyang Jinqiu didn't know the rules of the mansion at all, and could only rely on what she had learned from TV dramas in her past life to talk to her father.

  But unexpectedly, the second lady was very dissatisfied with this: "How dare you, not even paying respects to your father and aunt, what kind of behavior is this?"

  The second son of the Grand Preceptor's mansion on the side let out a snort.

  Everyone says that the third miss of the Ouyang family is a famous airhead, and today I saw her and indeed she lives up to her reputation. She's so ignorant of the rules, and it's all because of her own grandfather's foolishness that they made this ridiculous engagement. Today, this marriage must be called off!

  The Fourth Miss and her mother, the Fourth Lady, who had often bullied Ouyang Jinqiu in the past, saw her like this and started to mock her: "Hey, sister, you're really embarrassing our Ouyang family's reputation. Now that the Second Young Master of the Chancellor's Manor is here, aren't we just making fools of ourselves?"

  Ouyang Jinqiu didn't take this conversation to heart, but she was indeed very interested in the second young master who had promised to marry her. She turned her head and met a pair of eyes full of jest and mockery.

  With just one glance, Ouyang Jinqiu didn't want to look again. Such a man was frivolous and arrogant, he was simply an unhelpable Ah Dou.

  Mr. Ouyang asked Er Gongzi: "I don't know what brought you here today, what's the matter?"

  The second young master didn't even glance at Ouyang Jinqiu, stood up and saluted Old Master Ouyang, saying with a respectful tone: "Not to deceive you, Uncle Ouyang, I came here today indeed for an impolite request."

  "What's the matter?" asked Mr. Ouyang, thinking that according to the schedule, it should be around the time for Second Master to marry Ouyang Jinci, could it be that he came today to talk about this marriage?

  The second son did not respond and instead shouted towards the outside of the door: "Someone come and bring the things in!"

  All I could hear was a commotion outside, and then several burly men came in carrying some large trunks that looked very heavy.

  Everyone doesn't know what Er Gongzi means, they all look curious.

  The second son cleared his throat and then swaggered over to those boxes, opening them one by one.

  Everyone gasped in shock when they saw what was inside the box.

  Only these few boxes were filled with gold, silver, pearls and other treasures. Even though the Ou Yang family was wealthy and powerful, this was still a sight to behold for the first time.

  "Uncle Ouyang asked in puzzlement: 'Nephew, what's this?'"

  The second master glanced at Ouyang Jinqiu, without hiding the disgust on his face: "Nephew came here today, hoping to cancel the engagement with Third Miss!"

  As soon as this was said, there was a commotion in the hall.

  This was all before they were married, and now the wedding is cancelled. This would be a great shame for the bride's family at that time.

  The two madams looked at Ouyang Jinqiu with a mixture of surprise and delight.
