After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 2: A Wretch in the Family

Shi Qingluo said, "I want you guys to break off the engagement with the Wu Family on your own accord. I can choose who I want to marry in the future.

"Otherwise, I won't have a good time. We'll all die together then.

"Fourth uncle is a future scholar with a bright future in the palace. He might even be a top-tier scholar. I don't think he wants to die young, right?"

Fourth Son Shi hesitated. He really didn't want to.

This wretched girl had seized their lifeblood in an instant.

Thus, Old Master Shi gave Old Lady Shi a look.

She could only smile apologetically at the old granny again. "Look at this, there's nothing we can do."

They could only break off the engagement. Otherwise, this wretched girl would make them die with her.

Shi Qingluo looked at the old granny sinisterly and shook the little black balls in her hand. "It doesn't matter if the Wu family wants to marry me. In any case, all of you feel sorry for Young Master Wu. We can actually go down together as companions."

She curled her lips again and asked, "I believe that y'all also want to continue serving Young Master Wu in the afterworld, right?"

The old granny and the servants behind her were stunned. No, they didn't want to at all.

She knew that as long as this wretched lass had such a life-threatening object in her hands, they couldn't take her away at all. After all, no one wanted to die.

A rabbit would bite when it was anxious, let alone a human.

It was all the Shi family's fault. They actually let this wretched lass know that she was going to die with him. They were useless trash that just ruined the plan.

Not sure if it was too late to find a new bride now.

"Since Miss Shi is not willing to marry into the Wu family, I will go back and report this to our old master and lady now."

After she finished speaking to Shi Qingluo, she looked at Old Lady Shi and said, "You sent someone to follow me to the Wu family to break off the engagement."

Old Lady Shi's expression was unsightly as she looked at Lady Shi and her third son, "You guys go."

The two of them could only grimace as they followed her to the Wu family.

The silver in their hands was gone. They were actually daring to eat that wretched lass.

After the few of them left, Shi Qingluo used a rope to tie up the remaining few earth bombs and wrapped them around her waist. However, she always kept the lighter in her hands.

After she was done, she looked at the Third Son Shi and raised her eyebrows. "If anyone wants to die, let me know in advance. I will definitely grant them their wish."

Old Lady Shi couldn't help but curse. "You heartless wretch, how dare you treat your elders like this? Aren't you afraid of going to hell? You..."

"If all of you aren't afraid of going to hell, then I'm even less afraid." Shi Qingluo sneered.

"It looks like grandma wants to go down and explore the area first?"

Then, she untied one of the small black balls and looked as if she was going to light it up and throw it over.

Old Lady Shi, who continued to grumble, became so scared that she instantly went silent as if she had been strangled by someone.

The others were also so angry that their chests were burning, but they didn't dare to scold her.

Shi Qingluo yawned. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when it's mealtime."

"Otherwise!" she tossed the little black ball in her hand and smiled sinisterly at the people in the courtyard, "you know what I mean."

The Shi family were speechless. How could there be such a wretch in the family?

Shi Qingluo opened the door and entered the firewood room. This was where Shengyuan had stayed after returning.

Shengyuan had used two wooden boards to make a bed, a cushion, and a quilt. She had brought them back from the Taoist temple herself.

She lay on the bed and thought about her next move.

From her memory, she learned that this was a dynasty that had never existed in history. During the Tang dynasty, there was a twist and this became the Daliang dynasty.

The Daliang dynasty was only the second generation of the emperor.

It was somewhat like the Tang dynasty, which was relatively liberal, and had less stringent rules for women, similar to the later dynasties.

However, the law stipulated that a woman could only live independently and go out on her own if she had no maternal family or if her husband died.

Therefore, it was impossible for her to separate from the Shi family herself.

It was even more unrealistic for her to run away alone.

This was because she needed an identity to travel to any faraway place.

Else, once she was caught after running away, she would become blacklisted. Her identity was equivalent to a slave. She would be demoted into an official slave by the authorities and sent to be sold or exiled.

Especially since the establishment of the new dynasty, there were some regulations that each county had to abide by. All counties were afraid of losing manpower, so they were very strict in managing the household registration.

There was also a very fraudulent law that if any men and women who were still single at eighteen and seventeen respectively, the government would intervene with a forced marriage.

If they did not agree or resist, they would have to go to jail for violating the law.

Now that she was almost sixteen years old, there was only a little more than a year left before the forced marriage.

After thinking about it, Shi Qingluo realized that there was only one way to solve the current predicament, and that was to get married.

If the Shi family were making the decision, they would definitely make her jump from one fire pit to another.

Shi Qingluo would never ill-treat herself.

Instead of letting others control her marriage, she would rather find a suitable one herself.
