Chapter 92

Her marriage was called off?

Hearing the news, Xiao Jinyue blinked, still in disbelief.

Xue also looked surprised, and quickly took the thin piece of paper from the servant.

Xiao Jinyue was sitting next to her, glanced sideways, and there was a formal divorce agreement written on it.

To Xiao Jinyue's surprise, the marriage letter not only had the signatures of both parties, but even the seal of the Ministry of Rites.

Only after asking the boy did he know what happened.

It turned out that her father did not enter the palace on duty this morning, and purposely stayed in the mansion, waiting for Li Wenhao's parents to come to discuss the dissolution of the engagement.

Unexpectedly, none of Li Wenhao's parents came, and He only sent a nurse in charge, which already made Xiao Pingyuan and Xue very dissatisfied.

Then, after listening to the words of the nurse in charge, let them hold their beloved daughter in their hands, and change from wife to concubine, how can the husband and wife bear it.

With a cold face, Xiao Pingyuan took the marriage letter from his mother-in-law.

Immediately, Mrs. Xue called the rough envoys in the yard, and ordered them to take the broom and drive the nanny sent by Mrs. He out of the house.

It was a coincidence that the nanny sent by Mrs. He was the same Mrs. Cao who sent money to Mrs. Xue on behalf of Mrs. He last time, saying that Xiao Jinyue didn't learn the rules and etiquette well, and asked her to teach Mrs. Xiao Jinyue.

Mammy Cao came to give money last time, but the money turned into stone.

The 200 taels of silver disappeared, and she failed to do what Mrs. He ordered.After returning home, not only was he reprimanded by Mrs. He, but he even paid for the money out of his own pocket.

Because of this, she has always held a grudge in her heart.

Hearing that Mrs. He was going to change Xiao Jinyue's wife into a concubine, she felt that the opportunity to humiliate Xiao Jinyue had come.

Mammy Cao volunteered to take over the matter, came to the door with the marriage certificate, and opened her mouth in a strange way, ready to humiliate Xue Shi and Xiao Jinyue well.

Unexpectedly, just as she said that Mrs. He wanted Xiao Jinyue to be her son's concubine, Xiao Pingyuan, who was just stepping into the flower hall, listened to her seriously.

Immediately, his face darkened, he stepped forward and asked Madam Cao for a marriage certificate.

Grandma Cao didn't want to give it to her at first, but seeing his terrified murderous look, her calves trembled, and she hurriedly took out the marriage letter He gave from her sleeve pocket.

Before she came back to her senses, Mrs. Xue had ordered the rough envoy to come over with a broom.

A few maidservants stared intently at her, and with a broom, they drove Mammy Cao all the way to the gate, and then stopped.

Mammy Cao could only run back to Li's residence in despair.

And Xiao Pingyuan immediately left the house with the marriage certificate, and rode to find Li Wenhao's father, Li Guangping, a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Today is not a holiday, Li Guangping is naturally on duty at the Ministry of Rites, so Xiao Pingyuan did not go to Li's residence.

Instead, he directly invited an official matchmaker, and took her straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

After entering the Ministry of Rites and asking where Li Guangping was, Xiao Pingyuan went straight there.

Seeing Li Guangping who was working, without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves, grabbed his collar, pulled him up from the seat, and threw his fist at his face.

Li Guangping was immediately stunned.

Seeing this, other officials of the Ministry of Rites were curious and puzzled, but for the sake of their colleagues, they stepped forward and pulled the two away.

Li Guangping covered his cheeks, took a closer look, and found that it was Xiao Pingyuan, he couldn't help asking angrily and angrily, "Master Xiao, you and I are in-laws, if there is anything we can't talk about properly, how can you hit someone without saying a word?"

Xiao Pingyuan sneered and said, "In-laws? Don't dare to be, Xiao can't compare to you, a lord."

Hearing these words, Li Guangping's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly surged up.

He knew that his wife disliked Xiao Pingyuan's low official position. Not long ago, he beat the left servant of the household department and was demoted by the emperor. He was worried that his son's marriage to Xiao Jinyue would not only fail to help his son's future, but also implicate his son and even him. The emperor disliked it.

Not only did he know about his wife's desire to withdraw the engagement, but he even acquiesced in it.

After all, he worked hard for many years before he climbed up to the position of Wai Lang, member of the Ministry of Rites, and he really didn't want to be implicated by Xiao Pingyuan.

Could it be that Madam really made people come to the door to withdraw the engagement, which angered Xiao Pingyuan?
These thoughts just flashed through his mind.

Xiao Pingyuan glanced sideways at his guilty expression, took out the marriage letter from his bosom, patted his chest hard, and said coldly, "Yue'er was brought up by my wife and I, I won't let her marry Someone else is a concubine. You Li Mansion, we can't afford it, so we should cancel this marriage."

After Li Guangping was off duty last night, he went drinking with his colleagues, and rested at the concubine's place after returning home. He went out to the Ministry of Rites early this morning, so he didn't know what happened to Li Wenhao on the street yesterday.

What's more, he didn't know that his wife and son had reached an agreement to make Xiao Jinyue demote from wife to concubine.

Hearing Xiao Pingyuan's words, he asked in confusion, "What concubine? My son is going to marry Miss Xiao Er as his wife, but not some kind of concubine. Didn't you get drunk last night and still haven't woken up yet? Here Nonsense?"

Xiao Pingyuan sneered, "I'm talking nonsense, your son hugged your wife's niece in the street yesterday, saying that the two of them already have a physical relationship, and even conceived a child.

Your wife sent the nanny in charge to my mansion early this morning, saying that she wanted to cancel the marriage certificate written at the beginning and change it to a concubine certificate. "

Li Guangping only knew that his wife had always wanted to call off the marriage, but he didn't know that she had changed her mind. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "This is impossible."

His son is not only elegant in appearance, but also has always been educated and reasonable, and abides by etiquette.How could it be possible to do something like cuddling with my cousin in the street, let alone publicly announce that I have a physical relationship with my cousin and that I am pregnant with a child.

Could it be that this Xiao Pingyuan heard about Madam's plan to divorce from somewhere, so he beat him up?
All the officials of the Ministry of Rituals, who had long been attracted by the words between the two, put down their work at this moment, gathered together and listened to the gossip with relish.

Even the Minister of Rites stood aside and listened so forgetfully.

After all, such a sensational event is rare in Yamen.

Therefore, no one noticed that a man had come to the gate of the Ministry of Rites, standing there and listening clearly to what happened inside.until a cold sound

The voice came, "This matter is indeed true, Master Xiao did not lie."

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and only then did they realize who was coming.

When Minister of Rites saw the person coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Why is General Zhen Guo here?"

Everyone is naturally no stranger to the well-known Xiao Shizi in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, although they all heard that he handed over his military power because of the poisoning.

But he didn't dare to despise him at all, not to mention his own merits. His grandfather Lao Zhen Guogong and his father General Xiao were both ministers of the humerus holding heavy soldiers in the Yuankang Dynasty.

Even the emperor respected these three.

For this Xiao Shizi, although everyone usually wants to get close, they have never been able to find a chance.Seeing that he suddenly came to the Ministry of Rites, they couldn't help but gather around to say hello.

Lu Chengting nodded at everyone, but walked up to Li Guangping, and said with a cold expression, "Master Xiao did not lie, Mr. Li made trouble on the street yesterday, and Mr. Lu saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears. If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, You can send someone out to inquire about it. Many people have seen what happened yesterday."

 I ask all book friends to vote for the new book!
