Although Wufu did not explain to Guan Chuying that her marriage arrangement would change, she still paid attention to the matter. Within a few days, she heard that Xu Huazhang, while having an affair with that actor, suddenly had a fire break out in the house, and someone rushed in to save them, catching the two naked.
Xu Huazhang, the renowned scholar, turned out to be a cut-sleeve, and this gossip spread like wildfire throughout Changan City, talked about with great interest.
Following this, the Guan Family used this matter to annul the engagement with the Xu Family. Although the Xu Family did not want the engagement annulled, they felt guilty and had no choice but to agree.
An annulled engagement severely tarnishes a girl's reputation, but given the issue lies with the groom's family, any family who cares for their daughter would sever the ties, saying the Guan Family is fortunate that the scandal erupted now rather than after the wedding.
