Chapter 42 Withdrawal
If something happens to Wei Pan, it is naturally incumbent on his father-in-law, Dr. Qi Zhan. Unfortunately, he is an official. He has no real power, and today's emperor is not a monarch who is willing to listen to his advice. And most of the court is a member of the Eighth Prince, and his opinions are often not heard.
He went to Wei Han, but Wei Han didn't want his help. He not only didn't want his help, but also had a good understanding with Wei Han and asked the Qi family to cancel the marriage.
Qi Zhan was very angry, "Grandpa, who do you think of Qi?"
Wei Han smiled bitterly, "I know that Lord Qi's official voice is clean and his character is more elegant. Otherwise, I would not beg your daughter-in-law with an old face."
"However, as it is today, our house has been removed from the edict plaque a while ago. Now the dog is in prison. It is not known what will happen in the future. I'm afraid it is more or less auspicious." Wei Han looked at Qi Zhan earnestly, "I really don't want to involve my family, and the dog doesn't want to delay my youth. Please forgive me."
After listening to his heartfelt words, Qi Zhan couldn't say anything more, so he had to nod his head, "The prince's heart is beyond the reach of the officials."
Wei Han still smiled bitterly, "That's all, what kind of heart? I'm really ashamed that I don't have the ability to keep my ancestors' family business.
Qi Zhan comforted him a few more words and went out to take a bus back home.
He returned to the house and came to look for his daughter, intending to tell her what Wei Han said. Who knew that as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a woman surrounded by beads sitting high, wearing a rose-embroidered butterfly love flower phoenix tail robe, wearing a Zhaojun suit of the same color on her head, and a shining pearl in the middle. It was the ninth princess Shen Xuanji.
"See the ninth princess." Qi Zhan lifted his robe and saluted. Shen Xuanji bowed slightly and said, "Hi, Lord Qi."
Qi Zhan looked up and saw his daughter and wife sitting under Shen Xuanji's head. Both mother and daughter were crying, and Shen Xuanji was also embarrassed.
"Miss Qi," Shen Xuanji stretched out his hand to hold Qi Yujing's hand. "You are magnificent, and Lord Qi is clear and upright. Don't worry about having a good family."
Qi Yujing cried and said, "People say that good women are not allowed to be two families. Now that I have promised the Wei family, I am from the Wei family."
She grabbed Shen Xuanji's sleeve in confusion, "Princess Jiu, is there something I can't do well?"
Shen Xuanji shook his head quickly, "No, it's really the third master of the Wei family who is worried about implicating you."
At this time, Qi Zhan understood that the ninth princess was entrusted by Wei Bing to persuade her daughter. He sighed in his heart and came up to persuade him, "Jinger, why are you disobedient? The Wei family is also full of good intentions and refuses to delay your future.
Qi Yunjing listened to his father's words and cried loudly, "I won't withdraw from the marriage!" He doesn't come out for a day, and I wait for him for a day. If he doesn't come out for a lifetime, I will wait for him for a lifetime!"
Shen Xuanji was shocked by her words and couldn't speak for a moment, but tears had already come out.
"Daughter!" Mrs. Qi, who had been sitting aside crying, hugged Qi Yujing, "Why are you suffering? Listen to your mother's words, since people are thinking about you everywhere, you should respond! Mother must be looking for a better marriage for you. Listen to the princess!"
Qi Yujing broke away from his mother, stood up with tears, neatly took off Qi Zhan's sword hanging on the wall, pulled the sword out of its sheath, and put it against his neck. "Princes, father and mother, you don't have to say. If you want me to withdraw from marriage, it's not impossible, unless I die, next Let's be husband and wife with Mr. Wei San!"
She said she was going to cut herself, and Qi Zhan and Mrs. Qi were so scared that they sat on the ground. Shen Xuanji was also shocked and quickly rushed to hold the hilt of the sword. "Miss Qi, don't be impulsive. I know what you mean. Don't do anything stupid."
Qi Yujing was also hot-blooded for a while. At this time, he also threw away his sword and threw himself into Shen Xuanji's arms and couldn't help crying.
Qi Zhan and Mrs. Qi looked at each other in con sight. Seeing that their daughter was really determined, they did not dare to mention the withdrawal of marriage in addition to sighing a grievance.
Shen Xuanji came to the prison where Wei Wei was imprisoned that night accompanied by Xue Zhen.
"I was also moved by her intention." Shen Xuanji originally told Wei Wei about the matter of Qi Junjing. Wei Wei didn't say anything. After a long time, he said gently, "I know. Let's go back first. I'm tired and want to sleep."
Shen Xuanji nodded, stood up and went out with Xue Zhen. When he went up the steps, he heard Wei Wei's depressed and deep crying. In this late-night cell, there was a light and ruthless wind and dust, which looked particularly cold.
Wei Wei had an accident, and Xiang Yuan took the opportunity to move out of Weifu with his aunt. He made contributions for the Eighth Prince and fell into a courtyard located in the west of the city. The mother and son were happy. It happened that the wedding date of Xiang Yuan and Shen Coral was also approaching. It happened that the furniture in the room was complete. Xiang aunt bought a few people with Shen Coral's money and was ready to welcome the new year.
The day I moved to my aunt, it can be said to be a show of power. She didn't leave Mrs. Ye either. She seemed to completely forget that when her family of three came to the door, it was Mrs. Ye who saw that they were pitiful and ordered Ye Dongyu to send monthly silver for free every month. The clothes for changing seasons were also from the public account of Anguo.
Now that Wei has fallen behind, even Wei Yu can sell well in front of the Eighth Prince by following Xiang Yuan. Aunt Xiang finally feels that she can raise her head in front of Yao. Yao himself is also like a soft mud that can't hold on to the wall, and usually shows more and more frightened and frightening decadent appearance, which makes her aunt very happy.
"Sister..." Yao stood at the door and watched. She knew who died in Xiang Xiaoyuan. These days, she was so timid when she saw Aunt Xiang.
Aunt Xiang pretended not to hear it first, and waited for her to scream a few more times before turning around with a sneer, "Yo, is Madam Duke calling me?"
Yao usually splashed in front of her family, but she met a younger sister who was more shabby than her. There was nothing she could do, or Bei Xuan couldn't stand it. She felt that she was too young to be ambitious and said for her, "What is this, aunt? You are our wife's sister. Who in this house doesn't know? It's not such a voice on the day when aunt and mother and son can't go on to beg our wife!"
Xiang's aunt was choked by her and couldn't speak. She gave Yao a white look, turned to the car and left.
In a few days, it will be the day of Shen Coral and Xiangyuan's great joy. The home of Anguo Mansion is the season of cloud cover, and there is no mood for happy events. Fortunately, Shen Coral didn't care. She almost couldn't wait to get on the sedan chair.
In a blink of an eye, another half month passed. Shen Coral got up early this morning and went to his aunt after grooming. Halfway, she stopped and said to the little maid beside her with a smile, "Look at my memory. I don't know where the handkerchief has fallen. Let's go back and look for it."
Cai Yin nodded, "Yes, milk~milk, anyway, it's still early." She was specially bought by Shen Xuanji for her before she married Shen Coral. Although she has not been with Shen Coral for a long time, she is loyal.
There is no one around Shen Coral now. Juqing was hurt by her and would rather die than marry with her. Mrs. Ye had no way. Seeing that she was old, she pointed her to a servant beside Wei Han.
As for plain clothes, Shen Coral doesn't know what's wrong. She is either painful here or itchy there these days. Shen Coral remembered their friendship when they grew up together, and did not blame her for not being a good person. Instead, she advised her to rest more.
The master and servant came along the same road, but there was no sign of the handkerchief. Shen Coral doubted whether he had brought it out and went back to the yard where he lived far away.
Before entering the yard, I heard a sound of a woman moaning. Shen Coral went through personnel. As soon as he heard it, his cheeks suddenly turned red, half ashamed and half angry.
Xiang Yuan didn't go home last night, and the little man said that there was something to discuss with him. Shen Coral didn't know anything about the outside world, and she was kind to her mother-in-law and husband. She not only had no doubt, but also asked the little man to bring clothes and hand stove to beware of being cold in the distant night.
So at this time, Shen Coral didn't think about such a daytime announcement, which had nothing to do with her husband.
Cai Yin was young and ignorant, looking at her with her eyes open. Shen Coral made a silent gesture to her, quietly squatted by the door of the courtyard, listening carefully to the noise in the room.
After a while, the sound of gasping in the room was low, and the voice could be heard. Shen Coral only heard a woman's voice say delicately, "My lord, the maidservant is so well served. When will you go to tell the milk and let the maidservant enter the door?"
plain clothes! Shen Coral suddenly stood up, and Xiang Yuan's voice also sounded at this time, "My dear, what are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will lie to you? Don't worry, when the big deal is done, you will naturally be your aunt!"
Shen Coral was so angry that she burst into tears. She had the intention to kick open the door and show the ugly things of this pair of men and women to the world, but on the one end, she did not have the courage, and on the other, she was afraid of losing face, and unexpectedly suppressed it down.
She turned around and walked gently to her aunt as she came.
Caiyin was both shocked and angry, "Grandma, did you let go of that hoof like this? She seduced the men, so cheap, how can grandma stand it?
Shen Coral didn't answer and smiled bitterly: At this time, she just can't stand it. What can she do?
Half a month after she married, Xiang Yuan and the Eighth Prince plotted several more things. Xue Zhen and Wei Han were frustrated everywhere in the court. Wei Bing was trapped in prison, and even Qi Zhan was reprimanded by the emperor once. Shen Xuanji was blocked for several visits to the prison. Not only did Aunt Chun lie down and never get well, but also Mrs. Ye also suffered from old diseases under depression and anxiety.
Xiang Yuan thought he had gained power, and Wan Guan's dowry had also entered the house. Although he was not indifferent to Shen Coral, he really didn't care about it. Seeing his son like this, Xiang's aunt was even more ashamed of his daughter-in-law. Although Shen Coral was simple and not stupid, the more he got along with the mother and son, the more chilled he felt. But now, she has chosen the road by herself, and she can't go back for a long time.
"Okay!" Shen Coral interrupted Caiyin's fight, "Don't tell anyone about today's matter, especially my two sisters. If you talk too much, I won't want you!"
