Chapter 521 The Only Way
"You don't want me to think too much, I just don't think too much." He picked up her round fan and fanned her, "I will believe whatever you say."

He wasn't important to her anyway, was he?
Shen Yan's eyes were a little sour again.

She took a long breath and looked at her toes.

He raised his head and wanted to say something, but someone came in outside the door and said, "The prince and concubine are here!"

Huo Jiu stopped the fan in his hand, and met her gaze who was looking up.

Shen Yan was a little happy, because when Shen Xi came, it meant that this matter could not be avoided, and she planned to come back to make up her mind.

From this point of view, it may not take that long.

She resisted the fluttering in her heart and said, "Brother-in-law is here, Mr. Huo, let's go out."

Huo Jiu didn't say anything else, handed the fan to the maid, and went out.

Accompanied by Xiao Huai, Shen Xi left the palace, saw a seller of fresh fruit along the way, and sent someone to buy a few catties of fresh fruit.

Seeing the freshly made peach cakes at the dim sum shop by the roadside, he picked another two catties of peach cakes, guessing that Huo Jiu had already seen Chen Yan, so he unhurriedly arrived at Shen's house.

After entering the third room, Huo Jiu came out from Nuanyuezhai.

With a dull expression, he was no different from an old monk who stayed in the temple all year round and accompanied the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns.

Shen Xi pretended not to care, greeted him, and went together to the hall where Shen Chongguang was.

Here, Shen Chongguang explained the ins and outs to Xiao Huai and Shen Xi, and then said: "It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, since we have a marriage contract, we should abide by it, isn't that the reason? She quarreled with me, well!"

He sighed heavily, and sat down on the chair.

Although Shen Xi is a niece, and she is not related by blood, but her identity and knowledge are different, and now she has never put aside her adoptive parents' family, but still regards it as her own mother's family, how could he get married in front of her?
Recently, she has been asked for her opinion on all affairs in the mansion, big or small.

And when Shen Yan caused such a big incident, even if she knew about it, he still had to explain it himself.

Shen Xi glanced at Xiao Huai, then at Huo Jiu who was expressionless, and said, "Since you are so determined not to marry, you can't ignore it.

"It's our fault that we regretted the marriage halfway, and we can't blame it. But if we force it like this just to be responsible for the promise we made back then, I'm afraid there won't be any good results in the future.

"The Mei family is also a family that values ​​promises and righteousness. Nowadays, there are many rumors against the Mei family. If this matter can be handled well, it may not mean that this friendship will not continue in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Chongguang immediately wiped off his sweat and said, "At this moment, I don't have to risk her life to marry her.

"Isn't it just embarrassing how to deal with this matter? Since you are here, give me some ideas."

Shen Xi thought for a while, and then said: "Instead of directly talking to the elders of the Mei family, I think it's better to ask Mr. Mei what he means first."

Xiao Huai glanced at her.

Shen Chongguang also said: "Is it appropriate to find him for this matter?"

"I don't know if it's suitable or not." Shen Xi pondered, "But I believe that Mr. Mei is a reasonable person, so there shouldn't be no chance at all.

"And in this matter, the Mei family must care more about Mr. Mei himself.

"If Mr. Mei doesn't agree to call off the engagement, then this engagement with Sister Yan will have to continue no matter how much trouble there is.

"But if Mr. Mei agrees to divorce, the Mei family's insistence should be limited.

"Because the Mei family will have more worries than we do about this improper marriage.

"Mr. Mei's character is very good. In the future, he will most likely be able to achieve a bright future in the court by himself. At that time, his status will be much more noble than being married to the emperor's relatives.

"Since there are such good children, the Mei family may not be reconciled to the idea of ​​climbing the dragon and the phoenix."

She paused at this point, and then continued: "The Mei family has a good family style, the reason is that they don't love others for cheap.

"Although we mentioned this as taking advantage of them, in the end we had no choice but to bear this reputation.

"It's just that if we go directly to Mr. Mei and ask about this matter, we will still feel like we are using power to overwhelm others, and we will not respect Mr. Mei."

"How to do this?" Wen asked.

Shen Xi thought for a while, then looked at them: "I can't help it either."

Everyone choked.

Shen Xi said again: "We have to find someone other than our two families to go through this experience."

"Who can go?" Wen Shi became depressed.

Shen Xi was holding the cup, and his eyes fell on the teacup: "Retiring an engagement without a reason is a very embarrassing thing for a man.

"Besides, Mr. Mei is a scholar. Even if he doesn't agree, it's reasonable.

"And if you want him to agree to retire, then you have to give him the corresponding face."

Huang thought for a while, and said: "How about the Shen family give a sum of compensation? Or, after he is over, find a good job for him at that time?"

Shen Xi raised his lips: "He has a wealthy family and has real talents and learning, so he doesn't care about these things.

"With his arrogant temper, I'm afraid he will avoid the autumn wind of our Shen family. If you mention this to him, I'm afraid it will be flattering on your thigh."

"Then what should we do?" Huang was worried.

"Anyone who seeks a high-minded and arrogant person to do things must have a reason that can convince him. Seeking power and money is tarnishing his character.

"If someone can impress him with sincerity, it may not be impossible." Shen Xi said earnestly.

After all, it is not difficult to divorce the Mei family, they will definitely not be stalkers, but the premise is that they are sincere enough.

"Why don't you let He Lan go for a walk?" Xiao Huai said after hearing this, "He is the best at these things, and Mei Qiying has a good relationship with him."

Shen Xi frowned: "Isn't He Lan busy with the affairs of the military camp and the general affairs recently?"

"It doesn't matter if you move for a day or so." Xiao Huai said.

Shen Xi didn't make another sound.

I don't really support it in my heart.Because of the identity of He Lanzhun, Mei Qiying had to agree if she didn't agree, wouldn't she still be suspected of using power to overwhelm others?
But other than that, you can only find Yang Qian, who can also be regarded as Shen's family, so it's inconvenient.

Huo Jiu's words were even more inconvenient, Shen Yan just didn't want to bring him in, if he was allowed to go, it's hard to say what Mei Qiying would think.

I couldn't think of anyone who could go here, so I didn't say anything.

Shen Chongguang and the others naturally left it up to the two of them to make up their minds. Now that Shen Xi had said so, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I'll trouble Master He Lan to be the envoy. Whatever you need later, just say so!"

Although he was heartbroken that the incident had become like this, but Shen Yan was determined to do so, how could he still drive her to a dead end?

With Shen Xi's words as the foundation, even if they don't want to go to the point of parting ways, it's impossible.
