But just in case, don't be careful!
Mrs. Zhu instructed Cai'er, "Listen carefully, if you accompany the young lady to make trouble again, I will not forgive you! Now you must accompany the young lady carefully no matter what, if something happens to the young lady, I will take it. your life, understand?"
Cai'er shivered all over, lowered her head a little deeper, and nodded heavily, "Yes, the slave will definitely look at the young lady, and she will not let anything happen to her. Master and Madam can rest assured." Saying this, Mrs. Zhu still didn't believe her. After all, she grew up with Zhu Yao and only listened to Zhu Yao, so she was not allowed to do anything stupid, so Mrs. Zhu later ordered the housekeeper to go to Zhu Yao. two new additions to the yard
A girl, looking at her in the yard.
Afterwards, Zhu Shangshu and Mrs. Zhu returned to the hall.
"Master, now that Yao'er has agreed to break off the marriage, what should we... do?" Zhu Shangshu was silent for a while, after thinking about it, looking at the sky outside, he brushed his sleeves and said, "Since Yao'er has agreed to break off the marriage, Things have to be done sooner rather than later. I will go to Hou's mansion in person later, and meet Hou in person.
Grandpa made it clear that this marriage must be cancelled. "
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu didn't know the nerve was wrong, and suddenly grabbed him and said, "How about... wait?"
Um? "Wait? What are you waiting for? If you don't retire now, and if Yao'er changes her mind again, wouldn't we be tossing around for nothing! That's the decision, I'll go to the Hou's mansion later and make it clear." Zhu As Shang Shu said, he put his hands behind his back,
Go back to the house to change clothes.
…
In the evening, Zhu Yao got up.
When a person gets sick, he gets more sleepy! She rested for a whole day, but she felt a lot more energetic, and her complexion was getting better, not as decadent and depressed as before. After eating, she asked Caier to fetch a few books for herself to read. Bring up anything about Li Shiyan
, It seems that that person really has nothing to do with her.
But she saw Cai'er was worried, she wanted to say something several times, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Zhu Yao read the book attentively, and sometimes wrote some nice poems on the paper with a pen to record it, looking very leisurely and elegant.
The cold wind from outside broke through the window and poured into her body, causing her to tremble. Only then did she raise her eyes to look outside. Before she knew it, it was already dark!
Cai'er closed the window and said, "Miss, take a break, you have been reading for a long time."
"fine."
"Why don't the servants go and cook some porridge? It's good to warm the stomach."
Zhu Yao rarely nodded!
When Caier was about to go to the kitchen, Zhu Yao stopped her again and asked, "By the way, where are your parents? Why haven't you seen them?"
She is now in bed, and the second elder of the Zhu family must be very worried. There is no reason to visit her, but it has been an hour or two since she woke up, but she has not seen her parents.
Cai'er said, "Master and Madam have been here before. Seeing that the young lady was still resting, they told the slaves and maids a few words."
"Oh!" She continued reading.
But Cai'er seemed to have something else to say, but she stopped for a while.
Zhu Yao noticed the strangeness, put down the book in her hand, looked at her with a frown, and asked, "What's the matter? Do you have something to say? You usually keep your mouth shut. If you have something in your heart, why don't you go out? said?"
"Miss, sir, he... went to Hou's mansion."
To break off the marriage!
Zhu Yao understood in her heart, her eyes sank for a moment before she said, "It's better to solve it earlier, you don't have to keep dragging it down."
She put it lightly, there was no sadness or sadness in her tone, everything seemed to have nothing to do with herself, she was just listening to a very bland thing, which was completely different from the previous one who desperately wanted to marry Li Shiyan.
I don't know if it's a good thing? Still bad!
Seeing her like this, Cai'er stopped talking and quietly backed out...
At the same time, the carriage of Zhu Mansion had arrived at the gate of Hou Mansion.
For this uninvited guest, the Hou Mansion was not prepared at all. The little servant Jia outside the door glanced at him and saw Zhu Shangshu getting off the carriage. He quickly let the servant B go in to report, and he respectfully greeted him.
"Master Zhu, why are you here so late?"
Zhu Shangshu's expression was stern: "This official has an important matter for you, Marquis."
"Yes, yes, please come in."
The two families were going to marry in the future, so the servants of the Hou Mansion naturally respected Zhu Shangshu.
Treat it like a master!
When the Marquis of Kangding heard Zhu Shangshu's sudden visit, a bad premonition surged up in his heart, he quickly got up and went to the front hall, where he saw Zhu Shangshu sitting there calmly.
"Zhu Shangshu, why don't you send someone to let me know first, so I can make arrangements."
Zhu Shangshu stood up and cupped his hands, "Don't take offense, Marquis, I came here uninvited."
"Where, please sit down!"
The two sat down, and when Lord Hou saw that there was no tea at hand, he immediately scolded the servants in the mansion, "Why is there no tea!"
The servants did not expect that Zhu Shangshu would come to the door at this time, so it would take some time to prepare the tea, but it was not easy to say so, so they could only bow their heads and be scolded, and then served the tea that was prepared soon. Zhu Shangshu didn't have the time to drink tea. He glanced at the steaming tea in the cup lightly, then set his eyes on Kangding Hou, and said straight to the point, "Master Hou, don't take offense to disturb you so late, it's true. because there are important
things, so I had to come here at this time, thinking that some things should be resolved as soon as possible. "
The Marquis of Kangding is like a mirror in his heart, and he has already guessed seven or eight! But he still said politely, "Why does Zhu Shangshu have to be so polite to me? You can just say it directly."
"Then I won't beat around the bush!" Zhu Shangshu said in a serious tone, "The purpose of my visit this time is to break off the marriage!"
"… "
It's really not a sloppy temperament!
Straightforward!
Hou Ye's face suddenly sank. Zhu Shangshu continued: "Actually, it doesn't count as a divorce. After all, it's just a verbal statement between you and me. There is no etiquette to be done in the middle, so there is no so-called marriage between the two families! I originally just wanted to send Let me tell you personally
That's alright, but we decided to have this marriage in the first place, so I should come here in person and make it clear to you. "
Hou Ye's eyes lit up, but he still endured it, and said, "What do you mean by saying... that everything was done before?"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just words."
The Hou Ye sneered, "Even children understand that gentlemen have always been good at what they say, so why don't they count? Zhu Shangshu, what you say now is really crossing a river and tearing down a bridge!" "You can't say that, this child's marriage Major events are major events in life. Although I agree with words, in the end, I have to take care of my children's wishes. Before Yaoer only wanted to marry the prince, but now she finally understands, she said it herself today.
To break off the marriage, as a father, I naturally have to respect her choice, so Lord Hou, please forgive me. "
Nonsence!
The anger in Hou Ye's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't want to be polite to the person in front of him, and said directly: "Actually, you are just worried that I will use your Zhu family!"
Ha ha!
Zhu Shangshu didn't want to mention this at first, but now that he has said it, he has to say it carefully: "Isn't it true? You are just for your son's future, so you use our Zhu family as a stepping stone!"
"Don't be so rude, what is the difference between you and me? After all, you are not interested in the title of my Marquis of the Li family, so you are planning to marry your daughter!"
"So what? I thought it was a good marriage, but look at your good son. How long has it been before such a thing happened. My Zhu family doesn't want to wipe your son's ass for the rest of his life."
"Bang!" Hou Ye was completely annoyed, and slapped his palm on the tea table, suddenly stood up and said, "Wang Huai is the one who murdered, not the words of the time. If you say that, you are going to accuse my son of murder!" Zhu Shangshu got angry and shot back, "Although your son didn't kill anyone, don't forget that he caused the incident, and he can't escape the responsibility! If the two families really get married, it will happen to your son in the future. This kind of thing, it is not your Li family's face, but also my Zhu family's face, we don't let such muddy water run!"
