Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Yue Zhang? Heh!"

Li Yuanwai sneered, then flicked his wide sleeves, and said coldly:

"Lord Lu, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Xiaomin is just a lowly businessman, a man of the market full of copper stink, but he is not qualified to be the father-in-law of a loyal minister and celebrity like Lord Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help thinking to himself: That's right, it's a good one to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Before, he licked his face and begged his predecessor to get married. When he heard that I offended the Queen Mother Zhao, my future was ruined, so I immediately turned my face and regretted the marriage, tsk tsk...

Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface he was pretending to be puzzled.

"What does Yue Zhang mean by this?"

"Can't understand?"

Lu Chen nodded: "I hope Yue Zhang can clarify."

Li Yuanwai squinted his eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Lord Lu is indeed an upright and modest gentleman. I always feel ashamed when I talk to Master Lu."

Hearing this, although Lu Chen sneered inwardly, he still looked puzzled.

"Why does Yuezhang say that? Is there something wrong with my son-in-law that offends Yuezhang? If so, please speak up."

"Cao Min is just an insignificant person, how dare he be dissatisfied with Master Lu, let alone be Master Lu's father-in-law."

Li Yuanwai said with a hint: "Master Lu, please don't entertain the little people, so as not to cause misunderstandings by others, saying that the little people are shameless and shamelessly clinging to Mr. Lu's high branches."

Hearing what he said, Lu Chen suddenly "turned pale with shock" and said, "Why did Yue Zhang say that?"

"nothing."

Li Yuanwai said indifferently: "It's just that Xiaomin suddenly felt that the little girl is mediocre in appearance and poor in character, and she is not worthy of a noble person like Mr. Lu."

After a slight pause, he suddenly stretched out his hand, took out from his bosom the marriage contract that he begged former Lu Chen to sign, and said without hesitation:

"As the saying goes, if the door is not right, then the family is wrong. This marriage was done carelessly at the beginning, but after careful consideration in the past few days, I feel that our family of merchants is full of copper stink, and we really shouldn't treat Mr. Lu like this. A big man with a bright future has unreasonable ideas, so the marriage between my daughter and Mr. Lu, in my opinion, it is better to let it go."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was secretly delighted.

He didn't want to have anything to do with his predecessor's fiancée, and in his predecessor's memory, Li Yuanwai's daughter didn't seem to be a cheap lamp.

Before, he was thinking about how to reject it, but he didn't expect that after offending the Queen Mother, Li Yuanwai would so decisively propose to regret the marriage.

Wouldn't it be nice to have less trouble in an instant?

Of course, he didn't have to drive away Luo Xiaoyu, the daughter of a best friend who was in love with the mother of her predecessor, and her cousin who had been dependent on her predecessor since her parents died.

After all, his family's land, mu and house deeds were quietly changed to Luo Xiaoyu's name.

After he ascends to the fairy world, if he has the chance, he will try to give Luo Xiaoyu a fairy fate. If there is no chance, she can also take the property and the rest after he sold some panacea rewarded by the system some time ago after his ascension. The elixir returns to Yongchuan, and there will be no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

In the name of his extreme loyalty and the unspoken rule that family members cannot be harmed in the officialdom, and with the immortal backing him, no one will interfere with her future life.

But when he was thinking this way, Luo Xiaoyu who was on the side was furious, looking at Li Yuanwai with eyes full of anger, and before Lu Chen could speak, he loudly defended him and said:

"Too much deceit! Li Yuanwai, if you hadn't forced your son-in-law under the list and deliberately made it known to everyone, how could your cousin marry your shrew daughter? Now whenever your cousin is busy, you run away in a hurry Come here to regret the marriage, you capricious villain, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

"Nonsense, Mr. Lu is a Wenqu star, and he is destined to become a famous figure in history in the future. What can happen?"

Li Yuanwai glanced at her contemptuously, and then said as a matter of course:

"Xiaomin just felt that the little girl is not worthy of Mr. Lu, and may even affect Mr. Lu's future, so he came here to break the engagement. This is all for the sake of Mr. Lu. Xiaomin has good intentions, and you don't appreciate it, you ignorant wild girl. Forget it, it’s unreasonable to turn black and white upside down!”

Hearing that he actually hit him upside down, Luo Xiaoyu almost lost her temper.

"You...you shameless villain! You..."

She wanted to say more, but Lu Chen raised his hand suddenly, preventing her from continuing.

"Xiao Yu, stop talking."

Luo Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback, and then said unwillingly: "But cousin, this old guy..."

"obedient."

Lu Chen shook his head and stopped Luo Xiaoyu from speaking again.

Li Yuanwai voluntarily resigned from the engagement. Although his food looks a bit ugly, for him, it was a good thing for him.

Cutting off this mundane thread would be good for him after he became a fairy, but Luo Xiaoyu's fierce reaction seemed to push this good thing out.

He can't let him spoil his good deeds.

Seeing that Lu Chen was so determined, Luo Xiaoyu closed her mouth obediently, although her face was not angry, she just puffed out her cheeks and glared at Yuanwai Li, like a little wild cat ready to pounce on and bite at any time.

After grabbing Luo Xiaoyu, Lu Chen raised his head slightly and stared at Li Yuanwai.

"Mr. Li, do you really want to divorce?"

He also no longer pretended to address Yue Zhang, since the other party had already disrespected him, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.

Li Yuanwai said without hesitation: "Of course it is true. Although Xiaomin is insignificant, he also knows how to be polite and honest. How can he make fun of his daughter's lifelong event?"

Lu Chen knew the reason and asked: "But because I offended the Queen Mother?"

The corner of Li Yuanwai's mouth twitched slightly, "Xiaomin doesn't know what Mr. Lu is talking about."

Although he was denying it, there was no sign of denial on his face.

"I understand."

Lu Chen lowered his eyes, pretending to be devastated, then nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Since Li Yuanwai has made up his mind, I will not force him anymore. I just hope that Li Yuanwai will not go back on his word."

Hearing this, Li Yuanwai couldn't help grinning a few times as if he heard some big joke.

"Hahaha!! Master Lu, don't worry, the most important thing in doing business is honesty. Xiaomin is a businessman, so he is naturally based on honesty. If you decide something, you will never regret it!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand, and said with great pride: "Don't say regret, if Xiaomin has even the slightest regret in his heart, let Xiaomin be struck by thunder and die immediately!!"

What a joke, this idiot Lu Chen blatantly swears allegiance to the puppet emperor who has no sense of existence in the court, directly offended the Queen Mother Zhao to death, and his fate is destined to be miserable.

Dismissal and resignation are certain, if the queen mother Fengyan is furious, Lu Chen may even be exiled to the ends of the earth, no matter how good his grades in the scientific examination are.

This kind of trash who can't stand up for a lifetime, of course, the farther away the better.

Not to mention getting married, it is a sin to get a little closer to him, and it is serious to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible.

regret? How can it be? !

And seeing him swear that he would never regret it, Lu Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Done!

But on the surface, he still looked sad.

"That being the case, let's let this marriage go."

Hearing this, although Luo Xiaoyu didn't speak directly to persuade him, she looked at Lu Chen with distress and concern, and said in her heart:

'Cousin was already depressed because of the affairs of the court, but this damn old guy actually came here to add insult to injury. '

"Being hit so hard one after another, my cousin must be very sad now. It seems that I have to take care of my cousin in the near future. Otherwise, even if my cousin is mentally tough, there will be no accidents..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help glaring at Li Yuanwai.

It's all the old guy's fault! Damn profiteers, one day they will be hit by thunder and lightning! !

While thinking this way, she didn't notice that the corners of Lu Chen's mouth twitched in "sadness".

I almost laughed out loud.

Li Yuanwai naturally noticed Luo Xiaoyu's unkind eyes. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, it was definitely not a good thing.

But he doesn't care.

If it's not today or tomorrow, Lu Chen will be dismissed from office. At that time, he will be a commoner, and he has offended the Queen Mother. Even if the Queen Mother is afraid of face, she will not directly shoot him to death, and the Queen Mother's people will not let him go.

It's just a fool who is doomed to a bleak end, what is there to be afraid of?

Therefore, Li Yuanwai didn't even pay attention to Lu Chen, so naturally he didn't care about the yellow-haired girl beside him.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at Luo Xiaoyu and ordered:

"Xiao Yu, go get the marriage certificate."

"Um."

Although Luo Xiaoyu was very upset, she still listened to Lu Chen's words very much, trotted to the side cabinet, and took out a big red post from it.

"Refreshing, Mr. Lu is indeed an open-minded person, I admire you!"

Li Yuanwai finally said something kind from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if Lu Chen refused to accept the divorce, it would be really troublesome for him.

Fortunately, this guy is stupid in reading and has a single mind, so he is easy to deal with.

After a while, Luo Xiaoyu came back, and angrily smashed the marriage certificate in Li Yuanwai's hands.

Li Yuanwai was not annoyed at all, the moment he took the marriage certificate, his hands violently tore it to pieces impatiently.

After the marriage letter was completely turned into shredded paper, his face suddenly showed a look of relief, and he thought: Finally, I have completely separated myself from this idiot!

Lu Chen stared at the scraps of paper in Li Yuanwai's hands, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes. On the surface, he looked heavy, as if immersed in great grief, unable to extricate himself from it.

"Xiao Yu, see off the guests."

"Okay, cousin."

Luo Xiaoyu immediately responded, walked quickly to the door, then looked at Li Yuanwai with eyes like looking at garbage, and said in a muffled voice: "Please, Li Yuanwai."

After the goal was achieved, Li Yuanwai didn't care about Luo Xiaoyu's attitude, so he stepped forward and left the small courtyard.

And not long after Li Yuanwai left, when Lu Chen secretly rejoiced under Luo Xiaoyu's extremely concerned eyes——

boom!

In the direction of Ziji City, an extremely dazzling golden light beam suddenly rose into the sky and went straight into the sky.

At the same time, the entire capital suddenly trembled violently.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Chen raised his head abruptly, and subconsciously looked at the beam of light rising into the sky in the direction of Ziji City.

For some reason, the moment he saw that beam of light, an ominous premonition surged deep in his heart for no reason.
