"Bang!" Marquis Kangding slammed the table again, almost flipping it over!
As the saying goes, even if your own son is beaten to death, you won't feel bad about it. However, you can't let others speak ill of you. Moreover, Minister Zhu didn't give him any face at all. It was like a fire was thrown directly onto Marquis Kangding!
How could the hot-tempered Marquis tolerate this? "Zhu Tingzhi, don't think that my Li family can only depend on your Zhu family. I am Qujiang's Marquis Kangding. There are many people who want to enter my Li family's gate. For the sake of your daughter, I have always tolerated them. I even thought that if you wanted to break off the engagement, it would have been fine. Even if they weren't related, they were still friends. However, you repeatedly spoke rudely and insulted me. Do you really think that my Li family is a pushover? Let me tell you, I heard every word you said today. "As he spoke, Marquis Kangding grabbed the cup beside him and smashed it to the ground.
It smashed fiercely onto the ground, shattering into pieces. "From now on, the Li and Zhu families will be like this cup, never seeing each other again!"
Never see each other again! Zhu Shangshu was frightened by the scene in front of him, but the atmosphere had already been pushed to this point, and he couldn't admit defeat now. He simply picked up a cup next to him and smashed it hard. The pieces of the two cups mixed together, just like Li Zhu now.
The situation between the two families could not be reconciled! After Minister Zhu left, Marquis Kangding sat in the hall and looked at the two broken cups on the ground in silence. He didn't want to go to the Southern Frontier with Minister Zhu because of this matter. He didn't want to have another enemy in the court. However, the other party's words were so harsh and humiliating.
He, the Marquis of Kangding, was a man of great temperament. He really could not endure such mockery and humiliation. He would rather have another enemy in court than be a cowardly tortoise and be insulted by others!
At this time, Li Shiyan came back from Su Ziluo's mansion. Xiao Luzi, who had been waiting at the back door, quickly opened the door and said, "Heir, you're back!"
"What happened?"
"Minister Zhu came to the mansion and told Master about the annulment of the engagement. It seems that the situation is very tense. He even smashed a cup! Master is sitting in the hall now. No one dares to ask. You should quickly go and see. "Xiao Luzi's voice trembled.
When Li Shiyan heard this, he was shocked for a moment. Then, he reacted. Today, Zhu Yao had come to find him. She had indeed promised to break off the engagement, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!
"Is the engagement annulled?" He asked Xiao Luzi as he walked toward the front hall.
Xiao Luzi said, "I don't know about that, but it looks like … he has already retired. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this."
I hope he really retreated!
Li Shiyan hurriedly went to the front hall. As soon as he entered, he saw broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. It had been a while, but no one came to clean it. Presumably, no one dared to come!
Xiao Luzi also stood quietly outside and did not enter. At this moment, aside from Li Shiyan, anyone else who entered would be courting death.
Li Shiyan used his foot to silently sweep the fragments to the side. He walked in front of his father and said, "Father, isn't it just a marriage? There's no need for you to fly into a rage and retreat. "
"You don't understand!" Master Hou looked up at him. "Why don't I understand? I know you're doing this for my own good. You think I'm useless and only know how to eat, drink, and be merry all day. So, you want the Zhu family to help me in the future so that I won't be at a disadvantage when I inherit the Marquis title. But Father, I'm not a good-for-nothing.
I don't need you to protect me in this way. " Li Shiyan was full of ambition. "Father, don't worry. Even without the Zhu family's power, I can still protect the Marquis title of the Li family for generations. Believe me, I can do it without relying on anyone."
His manliness was undoubtedly reflected in his body.
This was the first time Master Hou saw his son so serious. It was so serious that it felt strange.
Master Hou got up slowly, touched his face and asked, "Are you really Shi Yan?"
Pfft —
I am!
I am!
I am! Li Shiyan blushed with shame. At first, he thought that his words were particularly manly and emotional, but he did not expect that his father's words would beat him back into a pulp. He exhaled weakly and reluctantly stretched out his hand to pinch his own face.
"Father, I'm your son. I'm your biological son. You didn't mistake me for someone else."
Master Hou looked skeptical. He narrowed his eyes and said, "How can you say such a thing?"
"Can you always think of me in such a bad light? I'm your son, your biological son! Besides, you were the head of the imperial court when you were young. How bad can I be? "" That's true. You're my son! " Master Hou was a little proud, but he became worried again. He put his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward. He sighed and said, "But after this, I don't know what will happen in the future. Whatever, I'll take it one step at a time.
Let's take it one step at a time. "
She got over it! Without the engagement, Li Shiyan felt much more relaxed. While he was still secretly delighted, Master Hou suddenly turned around, looked him up and down several times, and said, "Look at you. This time, the engagement was broken off by the Zhu Family. Who knows, this matter will be resolved very soon.
This matter might be known by others. You should think about how you're going to get a wife in the future! You're not young anymore, yet you're still so muddle-headed all day. "
Li Shiyan once again revealed an impatient expression. "Father, what are you worrying about!"
"How can I not be worried? Now that your engagement has been broken off, who would be willing to marry their daughter to you after the entire city knows about it? " Li Shiyan burst into laughter. He stuck out his chest and raised his eyebrows. He slightly waved his sleeve and proudly said, "Your son, I, is one of the most handsome men in the entire Yan Jing city. Which girl doesn't like me? If I say the word, I can.
There are countless girls lining up from the East Gate to the West Gate. Are you afraid that I can't find a wife? "
Master Hou shook his head. "Show off all you want. Show off all you want!"
He giggled without a care in the world, like a child. Looking at him now, he was still that sloppy young master from a noble family. Master Hou was also tired after this incident. He was not in the mood to continue talking to Li Shiyan, so he said, "Alright, let's not talk about this matter anymore. What's in the past is in the past. Anyway, let's talk about what happens in the future." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he stopped and turned around to say, "You have to pay attention to yourself. Don't get involved in everything. Otherwise, if something happens again, you won't be as lucky as you were this time.
I can protect you once or twice or three times, but I can't protect you forever! "
"I know, Father!"
"Remember that!"
"Yes!" Li Shiyan raised his voice.
Master Hou shook his head again and left …
After Li Shiyan ordered people to clean up all the broken things in the hall, he returned to the courtyard. His mood fluctuated. One moment he was laughing, the next moment he was sighing.
Xiao Luzi came in with water to soak his feet. When he was taking off his shoes, he asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing and worrying? "
"You don't understand!"
"Although this lowly one is stupid, if Your Highness tells me, this lowly one will understand!"
"Even if I tell you, you won't understand!" Li Shiyan said and became worried again.
Xiao Luzi raised his head and looked at him. Then, he put his two white feet into the basin and carefully washed them.
In fact, Li Shiyan's mood fluctuated because of the Zhu family's annulment of the engagement. On the other hand, Ji Yunshu's departure. These two emotions intertwined together, causing his heart to be in a state of turmoil. "Young Master, your feet are really white. The skin is soft and tender, and there's even a mole on them!" Xiao Luzi used his finger to gently press the mole on Li Shiyan's toes. It was very interesting, so he laughed happily. "Every time I wash your feet, Your Highness.
Every time I wash your feet, I find that this mole has grown a lot bigger. It's really amazing! "
Li Shiyan looked down and saw that there was indeed a mole on his toe. He moved his toe a few times and then said, "I've heard that this is a lucky mole. Whatever I want will come. But why do you think I'm so unlucky?"
"How is Your Highness unlucky? Although every time there is an accident, you always turn misfortune into fortune. Moreover, Your Highness always gets whatever you want. In the whole of Yan Jing, as long as you want something, you can get it. Isn't that good? "
