My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 44 The Qin family caught in the storm
Princess Hetai smiled contemptuously: "You said that if I humiliate you, it means I have insulted the scholars in the world? Could it be that a small act of yours can represent the scholars in the world? Mr. Li has such a big face and such a big tone!"

With a wave of his hand, he pointed directly at Li Xu: "If it brings shame to the scholars in the world, what does that have to do with little girls like us? Only hypocrites like Mr. Li who cling to power and ruin people's reputation will make those who really The scholars are ashamed of this. Mr. Li should feel guilty and apologize!"

A few beads of cold sweat dripped down Li Xu's handsome face, and his eyes were no longer as firm as before.

He finally understood why there was a rumor circulating in Shengjing that "I would rather offend the King of Hell than the daughter of the Qin family". Princess Hetai was indeed domineering and difficult to deal with, and her reputation was well-deserved.

"The student can't argue with you, princess. I don't want to have any more verbal quarrels with you. I just want to see Miss Fourth and explain things clearly to her in person. I hope the princess will do it."

Li Xu knew that he could not defeat Princess Hetai, so he could only start with Qin Minzhen and then look for opportunities to counterattack.

Princess Hetai smiled even more warmly, but Li Xu felt cold in his heart when he saw her.

"Didn't Young Master Li come to propose marriage today? Since ancient times, matchmakers have spoken of words and parents have ordered me to do so. As the biological mother of Fourth Miss Qin, aren't I discussing this matter with you? The answer I gave is no. Agree, disagree! Why, could it be that Mr. Li has some great backers, and I can’t refuse this marriage?"

He turned around and looked at the matchmaker with a smile on his face, who had already been scared to death. "Ice man, could you please tell Mr. Li if I am qualified to reject the person who comes to ask for your hand in marriage on behalf of my daughter?"

The matchmaker responded with fear: "Yes, of course there is. Parents have the final say in the marriage of children since ancient times."

"Master Li, do you hear me clearly? I have rejected this marriage, so do you have anything else to do?"

Li Xu's heart was as heavy as iron, knowing that he was completely defeated and there was no need to continue arguing.

So he calmed down his emotions and bowed: "The student and Miss Qin Si are indeed in love and have made an agreement with each other. I hope the princess and the Marquis will reconsider and the student will come back soon."

Princess Hetai said coldly: "I am waiting for you to invite the so-called witnesses to confront you. If what you say is true, it will be no problem for me to go to the palace in person and ask the emperor to grant you a marriage. But if it is without evidence, , just want to destroy someone's reputation with just white teeth, I will also ask Your Majesty to avenge my daughter's injustice. The fifth-grade county owner who has been personally proclaimed by His Majesty, a true relative of the emperor, I would like to see who is behind Young Master Li. You have so much courage, it's really admirable."

Li Xu lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, but his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched involuntarily.

"Come here, close the door and see the guests off!"

Princess Hetai left a heroic figure behind and walked slowly into the Qin family.

Li Xu stood there and pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked straight towards the city gate without looking back.

Before what happened today, the Qin family would definitely have murderous intentions towards him, and the master's family might not be able to tolerate him. He couldn't stay in this wrong place in the capital for a long time, so the only solution now was to escape.

Unfortunately, Li Xu was stopped before he reached the city gate and was forcibly sent back to the small courtyard where he rented.

That night, Li Xu was hung up on the beam of the study with three feet of white silk, and he left a personal letter on the desk.

The next day, Liang Juren, a classmate of Li Xu who lived across the wall, discovered the "tragedy" and immediately ran to Dali Temple crying and beating the drum to redress the injustice.

Soon, this case involving the emperor's son who was suspected of being forced to death by Wenxinhou's mansion quickly spread in Shangjing, even alarming the master of Qinzheng Palace.

For a time, Qin Minzhen was pushed to the forefront.

The Qin family has also fallen into a huge whirlpool of public opinion and is in a rather bad situation.
