Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Thinking of this, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, like a smug little mouse, her eyes full of cunning.

"You know, Cai Lanfang's second brother is determined to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the city. What if he breaks off the marriage in the countryside, and then the city girl does this..."

Someone like Li Xuehua would definitely look down on Cai Xiaobing.

Qin Shixiao couldn't resist and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, a good girl shouldn't marry into a family like the Cai family and be ruined by them!"

"Oh, you..." Ling Jiuyue tapped Qin Shixiao's chest with her finger, revealing two dimples as she smiled:

"Comrade Qin Shixiao, you're a bit mischievous!"

Qin Shixiao grabbed her hand and pulled her outside.

It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to ruin Cai Xiaobing's marriage; it was just that the Cai family had gone too far. His aunt was a person who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing, and she wouldn't let it go so easily.

"What did you say? You want to call off the engagement?"

Cai's mother was already overwhelmed with worries because of Cai Lanfang's affair, but unexpectedly, the Xiao family also came to break off the engagement. Wasn't this just adding insult to injury?

"My dear in-laws, the wedding date is already set, and I've already taken care of all the relatives and friends. Now you're saying you're calling off the engagement? How are we, the Cai family, supposed to face anyone after this?!"

Xiao's mother scoffed, "Does your family even need to be seen? The son-in-law has already come to fetch the bride, and you're still demanding a dowry at the last minute? Or do you want the dowry to be used to get a wife for your son?!"

The neighbors advised, "Auntie, look at how much dowry the Cai family is asking for. Isn't it all for your Yanzi's future well-being? No matter how badly she's fighting with the Qin family, it's all for your Xiao family's sake. It's not right for you to break off the engagement now!"

Mother Xiao's expression grew increasingly disdainful: "I can't bear the responsibility of saying this for the sake of my Xiao family. Her asking for a bride price isn't for my daughter, but for the betrothal gifts of rich young ladies in the city. It has nothing to do with our Xiao family."

Although our Xiao family is poor, we would never do something like having to give money to the man. If your son is favored by a rich girl from the city, we won't stop you from becoming a wealthy husband.

Here, these few feet of cloth and twenty eggs were left over from your engagement. Now we're returning them to you. There are even two extra eggs—good things come in pairs! We wish your son a speedy journey to the city to become a prince consort. As for your Cai family, our Xiao family will no longer be interested in joining our family!

Xiao's mother dropped her things and left, not bothering to say a word to the Cai family.

"Oh dear, you..." Cai's mother hurriedly pulled the matchmaker aside, "His aunt, you're the one who introduced this marriage. They just want to back out like that, you can't just ignore it!"

The matchmaker was also very angry: "I say, Lanfang's mother, you are too unkind. I am related to both sides, and I was the one who arranged the marriage. But your family is doing this. Cai Xiaobing is a dog for a rich girl in the city, and you expect Xiao Yanzi to wait for you. If things don't work out in the city, you can go back and marry her."

You think you're a smart person and everyone else is a fool, believing that because the city is far away, no one will know.

"Heh, news of what your son and daughter did in the city has already spread back. Your family's actions have put me in a terrible position, caught in the middle. Don't ever say we're related again!"

Cai's mother nearly fainted. How... how did people find out about this?

The matchmaker took two steps, then turned back, still annoyed, and added another sentence.

"By the way, your family used every means to get the marriage with the Qin family. As soon as they got into trouble, you started to play tricks, forcing them to break off the engagement, and you didn't even want to return the betrothal gifts."

Haha, do you know what the Qin family said after the engagement was broken off? They said your Cai Lanfang was a troublemaker. She was engaged for three years, and Qin Shixiao didn't budge an inch. He even got involved in a murder and was in charge of things.

"The moment the engagement was called off, the person got a promotion and a raise, and now they're dating someone and getting married. And it's none other than that bride who was dumped before, walking past your house! Isn't that a coincidence?"

They got married on the same day, but one was pranked on her wedding day and the other was harassed during her wedding procession. As a result, the two became a couple, and the news spread very quickly, becoming a legend in Jinfeng Town for dozens of miles around.

Only the Cai family didn't know, because no one dared to say it in front of them, for fear of upsetting them.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Cai's mother trembled a few times, closed her eyes, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"mom!"

"Mom, Shixiao is already engaged. The girl is a nice person, and I like her very much. Please stop talking about it!" Qin's mother was very annoyed by her mother's constant interference in her son's marriage.

She didn't like Cai Lanfang at first and originally intended to resolve the matter amicably.

As a result, her mother went around making a fuss, saying that Cai Lanfang was her granddaughter-in-law, making it impossible for her to pay some money to suppress the matter.

Grandma Zhang is almost eighty years old. Her eyes are cloudy and her hair is all white, but she is in excellent spirits.

"What's so good about it? I heard that she was already married into her husband's family, but she was kicked out again. If this were when your mother was young, she wouldn't have the face to live and would have torn off her belt and hanged herself long ago."

"She still has the nerve to live, and she even comes to seduce our Shixiao! You still think she's a good person? What's going on in your head?!"

"Mom!" Qin's mother frowned, "The matter of the He family breaking off the engagement has nothing to do with Jiu Yue; it was the He family that went too far..."

"How did they go too far?" Old Mrs. Zhang wouldn't listen to her daughter's words at all. She glanced sideways and stomped her cane.

"Let me tell you, you're just muddle-headed and soft-hearted, easily fooled. People can easily fool you with just a few words."

"You're saying the He family is wrong? What's wrong with the He family? On such a joyous occasion, what's the point of the elders and brothers making a fuss? Aren't they just trying to make the newlyweds' life prosperous and lively? It's something others would kill for, and she doesn't even want to make a scene. Is this the proper etiquette for a bride entering the family?"

"That's right!" Zhang Chunying interjected, "Auntie, Ling Jiuyue's mother gave birth to three girls in a row. If she takes after her mother, she won't be able to have a son in the future. Wouldn't that cut off Shixiao's lineage?"

Qin's mother was displeased by these words: "You're only two years older than Shixiao, how can you be so old-fashioned? What era are we living in? Great men have said that women hold up half the sky, whether you have a son or a daughter, it's all the same."

I don't care whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl. As long as it's my grandson or granddaughter, I'll love them both. No matter how precious other people's boys are, I won't like them. I only love my own family!

"Foolish!" Old Mrs. Zhang scolded, "Shixiao is so capable, earning such a high salary every month, yet he doesn't have a son. Who will inherit the family fortune and savings? Are we going to give them back to that Ling family!"

When Qin Shixiao's younger sister, Qin Limin, returned, she immediately snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"My brother's money is not going to your Zhang family, no matter who else it is. Who are you to point fingers here?"
