The Jing family finally arrived at the capital a few days later.
When the Jing couple found out about what happened between Jing Chuchu and Shen Yuan, they first cried with tears streaming down their faces. Then, they threatened to go to the government to sue Shen Yuan. They did not even agree to Jing Chuchu being engaged to Shen Yuan. However, everyone knew that the Jing couple was just putting on a show to make it seem like it was Shen Qiu who wanted to marry their daughter.
As expected of Old Madam Shen's family, they were also unreasonable if not more so. After a few rounds of conversation, the Shen family agreed to fork out a huge amount of betrothal money and promised to hold a grand wedding.
