Of course, Widow Xie didn't believe such a ridiculous story about the betrothal cards being missing.
Ignoring their attempts to stop her, she barged into the Cao family's home and searched everywhere, but she found nothing.
Granny Cao tried everything—pleading, cajoling, and forcing a smile the entire time. She promised to send the betrothal cards over the moment they were found, and only then did she finally manage to usher Widow Xie out.
"Widow Xie is clearly fuming! By all rights, she's the one who's justified, so why didn't she make a bigger scene? It's because we have Hu Liang's betrothal card, which makes her hesitate. As long as we don't hand this card over, the engagement isn't officially broken. Even if this went to court, the Hu Family would have to accept you as their daughter-in-law."
Cao Yunyun clung to Granny Cao as if she were her last hope.
"Mother, don't give it to her! Don't! I refuse to break off this engagement, no matter what!"
