Chapter 16: Divorce (II)

"Mr. Zhan, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xi pretended to be innocent and asked deeply.

"No, nothing,"

Zhan Yu couldn't even speak clearly, he didn't dare to look directly at Ling Xi's face, so he quickly turned his head.

He originally thought that the rumors about the ugly appearance of Miss Yan of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion were mostly misinformation, maybe this Ling Xi was not a beauty, but it shouldn't be an ugly monster, but when I looked at it today, Ling Xi's face was simply red and swollen and terrible, and now I think that the rumors in the market are not all groundless.

"Master Zhan, I'm afraid I don't dislike the little girl's ugly appearance." Ling Xi pretended to be very aggrieved and sobbed softly.

"My face wasn't like this originally, but I happened to have some allergies in the past two days, so it was so red and swollen, and it will be fine in a few days."

Zhan Chao felt funny when he heard Ling Xi's words, Ling Xi's face looked red and swollen for a long time, where was she saying that she was red and swollen and allergic for a few days, and vaguely he also felt that Ling Xi's face had some ulcer traces, even if it was good, it was estimated that that face would be extremely ugly, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, this is the future daughter-in-law who wants to live with him for a lifetime, doesn't this make him sad for the rest of his life.

And what made him most helpless was that he couldn't show that he didn't care too much about Ling Xi's appearance, after all, he was a child of a saint family who had read poetry and books, and he didn't care about the appearance of his future wife as a saint.

"Miss Ling's face allergies are indeed serious, and some of them affect her appearance, but I'm not a person who covets beauty, so Miss Ling doesn't have to mind."

Ling Xi's face couldn't help but sneer, this Zhan Chao is really a person who can pretend to be garlic, she was scared like this by her face, and she can have such a decent statement, originally Ling Xi thought that Zhan Chao would be so frightened that he immediately escaped from the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, it seems that Zhan Chao is planning to smash his teeth, swallow it in his stomach, and marry himself into the door to make a good living, and it is estimated that he is thinking about marrying a few more glamorous concubines, so that he can have a reputation for not coveting beauty.

"That's great, Zhan Gongzi is really different from those squirting children outside, in the future, our husband and wife will respect each other like guests, and live this life in harmony, okay."

Ling Xi deliberately took a few steps closer to Zhan Tong, and deliberately shook her red and swollen face in front of Zhan Tong, as if he was afraid that Zhan Miao would forget her current dignity.

"Since we will be husband and wife in the future, I will be honest with Gongzi Zhan, I have an aunt in my family who can make trouble, she has no less tossing things, I guess everyone in Yicheng knows about it. In the future, when we get married, you are not allowed to marry a concubine. Ling Xi said with a high profile, she didn't believe it, Zhan Yu could really be willing to live with her ugly girl for a lifetime, and not let him take a concubine, to see if he could still sit still?

"Marrying a wife and seeking virtue, Zhan is not a person who covets beauty, but if the heir is difficult, in order to pass on the lineage, taking a concubine is also a last resort."

Zhan Yu couldn't help but start to be a little disgusted with Ling Xi, Ling Xi's appearance which man can only stay with her for the rest of his life, thinking of Ling Xi's face, it is estimated that he can cry excitedly for a night in the cave room, if he only lives with Ling Xi in his life, this is not masochism, and if he doesn't marry a concubine, maybe it is really possible that the heir will be difficult.

"Zhan Gongzi still wants to marry a concubine." Ling Xi asked reluctantly.

"It doesn't have to be a concubine, but if you don't have an heir, you must still marry a concubine to continue the incense."

"What if I have to?"

Ling Xi's words stopped Zhan Yu, and he began to wonder where the ugly-looking woman in front of him got her confidence, their Zhan family is the family of Jiangdong literati leaders, even His Majesty has to be courteous, a Miss Hou Fuyan, if she marries into their Zhan family, will it be her turn to speak? Zhan confused smiled contemptuously, and said to Ling Xi politely: "It's not too early today, I will bother Miss for a long time, and he will come to visit again in the future." With that, he walked straight to the door.

Ling Xi trotted quickly to the door, she stretched out her arms and blocked the door with her body.

"You've got to make it clear today, or don't want to leave this room."

Zhan Zhi is an eye-opener, Ling Xi is not only ugly, she can simply die to the end, she is quite unreasonable, she is a woman with no talent and no appearance.

"Miss Ling is so rude, don't you feel like you've lost your identity?"

"If you want to be rude, Gongzi Zhan is a child of a literati family in Jiangdong, and he can stay in the same room with Miss Miaoling, a lonely man and a widow for so long, even if we have a marriage contract, I am afraid that we will be criticized. Zhan Gongzi, isn't this rude? Ling Xi said proudly, she glanced at Zhan Tong, Zhan Tong looked angry, it was obvious that her words had stimulated Zhan Tong's sore spot, it turned out that what this Zhan Yu son cared about most was his reputation after being a saint.

"My requirements are not high, but I just want to raise my eyebrows with my future husband and live a life of affection, am I too much? If Gongzi Zhan is really not the kind of person who covets beauty, why bother to chew words with me here, and talk about other things? Or is it said that Gongzi Zhan is a prodigal son, and he often has private meetings with young ladies on weekdays, so this eloquence is so good. Why don't we find someone to talk about today's events and see who is right and who is wrong. ”

As soon as Zhan Yu heard Ling Xi's words, he immediately became angry, Ling Xi was planning to destroy him with all his intentions, and he had the intention of not giving up, what is the difference between this and a shrew? If he really marries Ling Xi, his good reputation is afraid that it will be folded in the hands of this shrew, how can such a woman be worthy of marrying into their Zhan family.

"Say whatever you like, just say it, our Zhan family can't climb the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, get out of the way." Zhan Xuan said viciously, his eyes full of disgust for Ling Xi.

Ling Xi was very happy in her heart, she moved her body in front of the door in a playful way, pushed the door open in confusion, and walked away.

Ling Xi looked at Zhan Xuan's resolute back and smiled with satisfaction, I don't know when, Ling Zhu had already walked to her side.

"It's done?"

"It is estimated that if my brother sees Zhan Yu again in Tai Academy in the future, he will have to retreat from you."

"It's okay, we don't know each other anyway, are you sure he will come to get out of the marriage?"

"I'm sure I'll come, this Zhan Gongzi cherishes his feathers a lot, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore."

....................................................................................................................................................

Ling Xiao walked into Tingyuzhai angrily, and as soon as he saw Jiang Shuangxue, he shouted loudly, "Where is Ling Xi? Call her out for me. ”

Jiang Shuangxue looked puzzled, didn't Ling Xiao go to the military camp outside the city to train the recruits, saying that it would take a month to return to the house, why did he come back suddenly today, and he didn't send anyone to inform the Hou Mansion in advance, what happened?

Jiang Shuangxue was a little worried, Ling Xi's face had been allergic for more than half a month, she had been worried about this matter, today Ling Xiao was so angry that she wanted to find Ling Xi, could it be that Ling Xi annoyed him?

"Ling Xi has been sick for a few days, and she is raising her in the room?"

Ling Xiao was even more angry when he heard Jiang Shuangxue's words, what kind of recuperation, I'm afraid that I don't know that I will come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so let's pretend to be pitiful to myself here.

The more Ling Xiao thought about it, the more angry he became, and strode towards Ling Xi's room, originally he wanted to scold Ling Xi angrily, but as soon as he entered the room, he was immediately stunned when he saw Ling Xi's face.

Ginkgo was feeding Ling Xi the medicine, and when she saw Ling Xiao suddenly walking in, she was also a little flustered, and hurriedly helped Ling Xi down from the bed.

"Why did your face become like this?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.

"Daddy, I don't know what's going on, I've been red and swollen for more than half a month, and I've been taking less medicine, but it's not getting better, and some of them are starting to fester."

Ling Xi also deliberately squeezed out a few tears, and looked at Ling Xiao with some grievances.

"Has Dr. Xu seen it? How so? ”

Ling Xiao, who was still angry, also softened his tone a little, although he didn't like Ling Xi very much, but on the whole, Ling Xi was quite generous and decent, after all, it was his own daughter, looking at Ling Xi's almost disfigured face, his old father's heart couldn't help but twitch.

"Dr. Xu said that it may be allergic to certain things, and my physique is weak, so it is so difficult, but I haven't left the house, and I can't figure out what it is allergic to? Except for going to the third sister's Yilan Courtyard some time ago to attend her banquet for the ladies of Yicheng, I didn't even take half a step out of this listening to Yuzhai, how could I be allergic? ”

Ling Xi mentioned Yilan Courtyard intentionally or unintentionally, she wanted Ling Xiao to realize that her face might have something to do with Leng Qiuye.

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned Yilan Courtyard, Ling Xiao's face became solemn, but Ling Xiao had something more troublesome in his heart, so he couldn't care about thinking about Ling Xi's words carefully.

It turned out that Ling Xiao received the Zhan family's divorce letter early in the morning, the Zhan family's family business is not easy to ask for, don't look at him after he is a hero, and he still has a knighthood, but in the final analysis, he is a martial artist, and he can marry a high-status Jiangdong literati family, then the Ling family's status in Dongyu Kingdom will be on a higher level. Especially for his youngest son Ling Hua, he will have the opportunity to go to the Zhan family to study, and he will definitely not worry about becoming an official in the court in the future, and Ling Hua's status as a concubine can also be diluted a lot.

But such a good marriage is inexplicably gone, not only did Ling Xiao lose a good opportunity to raise the status of the Ling family, but the most important thing is that it is a disgraceful thing to withdraw from the marriage, and his Ling Xiao's old face is also lost. But when he looked at Ling Xi's sick and crooked body and that unsightly face, he understood at once. I heard that Zhan Chao went to the mansion to visit Ling Zhu a few days ago, and I am afraid that Zhan Chao will want to withdraw from the marriage if he sees Ling Xi's appearance. Although the reason for the Zhan family's divorce is very decent, saying that Zhan Chao has not succeeded in his studies and wants to concentrate on his studies, but soon the news of Ling Xi's divorce because of his ugliness will spread all over Yicheng, and Ling Xiao is extremely melancholy when he thinks of this.

"The marriage of the Zhan family is yellow, and my father will find a good family affair for you in the future, so you can give birth and recuperate." After saying that, Ling Xiao walked out of the room in frustration.
