Chapter 161:-for-tat
"Father, don't force me anymore, I won't marry the lord of Lingrong, you just let me marry the heavenly Chang'e, and I don't want it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the study in the backyard of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Xuan stood in front of Cheng Yan with a fierce look, his eyes were full of stubbornness, even if he was afraid of Cheng Yan, he still refused to take a step back.
"What do you say? Say it to me again!"
Cheng Yan drank loudly, angrily raised his hand and slapped it heavily on several cases, and even the tea cup placed next to the scroll was almost knocked to the ground by him.
"Marriage has always been the order of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker will not be your turn to have an opinion at all. This marriage has been approved by His Majesty, and you have to marry if you don't marry!"
"Sir, sit down and dissipate your anger, you don't know Xuan'er's temper. ”
At this moment, Zhang's party had already hurried to the study, and seeing that the father and son were in trouble, they hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Cheng Yan's back to smooth him, and then glared at Cheng Xuan very dissatisfied.
"Look at how disobedient this son of yours is, do you have to be angry with me to death before he is willing!"
Cheng Yan reluctantly sat down and took a few breaths, looked at Cheng Xuan in front of him, who was still unwilling to waver, and shook his head helplessly.
"Xuan'er, don't be angry with your father anymore, your father is also good for you. Zhang sighed and said earnestly, "In the past, I pointed out your relatives, and you just refused to do nonsense." This time, you are going to marry the daughter of King Qi, the niece of the current saint, this matter has been decided, and there is definitely no room for maneuver. Do you want your father to offend King Qi or even His Majesty for your sake?"
"Heh, you keep saying it's good for me, if it's really for my good, will you force me like this again and again?"
Cheng Xuan raised his head and looked at Cheng Yan indifferently, although his tone was low, it all revealed a deep chill and bitterness.
"Father, you, the Duke of Yasukuni, are already in power and are extremely powerful, why do you still want to be inflammatory, why do you want to pull me in?"
"Shut up!"
Cheng Yan's emotions had finally calmed down a bit, but when he heard Cheng Xuan's words, he suddenly became angry again, and stood up from the chair with his hands on the table.
"Xuan'er, don't say it again. Your father was already heartbroken for your brother's affairs before, and now his body has just recovered, how can you say that he is also a junior, and now he is still so angry with him, it is too unfilial."
Zhang's tone was stern, and he saw that Liu beside him also said with a sincere face: "Yes, Xuan'er, you are the eldest son of our Cheng family, and we all hope to see you start a family as soon as possible, marry a wife and have children, and we are planning for your future." ”
Although Liu and Cheng Xiuning wished that Cheng Xuan's marriage would be invalidated, they still had to pretend to help persuade a few words on the surface.
Of course, the mother and daughter also know that Cheng Xuan is the son of the Zhang family in the end, and it is enough for them to follow by and help a little. If they talk too much, it will make the Zhang family think that they are nosy.
"Mother, are you really so concerned about your father and this family?"
Looking at the sincere face of the Zhang family in front of him, and then remembering what he overheard her and Cheng Sujin say in the side hall, Cheng Xuan only felt hypocritical in a trance, and finally couldn't help but ask meaningfully.
Zhang's heart tightened when she heard this, how could she not hear the deep meaning of her son's words? But in front of Cheng Yan and Liu, she could only quickly put away her unnatural expression and smile awkwardly.
"Xuan'er, what are you talking about? Mother doesn't think about this father and this family, so what are you trying to do all these years of being so busy and working hard?"
However, Cheng Xuan tightened his cheeks when he heard this, and looked at Zhang silently without speaking. After staring at it for a moment, his eyes seemed to be covered with a heavy shadow, obscure and gloomy.
Then he turned around and dragged his legs and feet, which had not yet fully recovered, and prepared to walk towards the outside of the study.
"Where are you going?"
Cheng Yan shouted to stop Cheng Xuan, his tone was sharp, and he walked towards him after leaving a few cases.
"If you don't agree to this marriage today, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"I thought you were going to kick me out of the house again this time. ”
Cheng Xuan stopped in front of the door and raised his eyes slightly, deliberately raising his volume, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
"But I wish you could kick me out. ”
As he spoke, he turned around slowly, the smile on his lips gradually retracted, and he raised his head and looked at a corner of the study with empty eyes.
"It seems that Jin Zhi is right, this family is really a cage, without a little human touch. ”
"Xuan'er, what are you doing with that broom star?"
When Zhang heard the name Cheng Jinzhi, his face sank, and he reprimanded loudly: "This woman is the best at pretending in front of people, and she wishes that our family will be ruined, how can you listen to her words!"
"If she wanted our family to be ruined, she wouldn't be kind enough to return her second sister and younger brother to us. ”
"She must have ulterior motives for doing this, you are innocent so you don't understand, after a long time, you will see her true colors. ”
"I can see her for what she really is. ”
Cheng Xuan said the words clearly, and turned to look at Zhang and the others seriously, his eyes darkened.
"On the contrary, I can't see you for what you really are. ”
"If you have anything to say to your face, you don't have to beat around the bush here. ”
Cheng Yan stepped forward and glared at Cheng Xuan angrily, his eyes were cold and his tone was fierce.
"Master, don't listen to Xuan'er's nonsense, he is also impulsive, he never intends to be angry with you, you let him go back and be quiet and figure it out. ”
Zhang knew that Cheng Xuan was impulsive, for fear that he would be indignant and say something he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, and turned around and beckoned his subordinates to pull Cheng Xuan away, wanting to calm things down as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuan shook off the hands of the two subordinates, leaned forward and approached Cheng Yan, his expression was solemn, and his words were like ice.
"You were able to even see your own daughter die without saving you, and even your beloved son could be framed and imprisoned, now, is it my turn?"
"You... What do you say..."
Cheng Yan obviously didn't expect Cheng Xuan to say such a thing, and he was so angry that he trembled with anger, and even the hand pointing at him kept shaking.
"Rebel, you rebel, I don't want to see you again, get out of here, get out!"
"Xuan'er, hurry up and stop talking, do you know what you're talking nonsense!"
Zhang drank loudly, and before Cheng Yan could teach him, he raised his hand to his son and slapped him loudly, almost knocking him to the ground before his legs and feet had recovered.
However, this time the force was indeed heavy, and while the shock made her palm numb for a while, her heart was even more painful.
