Chapter 51: Nostalgia
Shendu.
In an elegant mansion, a middle-aged man in an official uniform stood by the window.
The man stood straight, with an awe-inspiring bookish atmosphere, and the uniform official uniform was properly cut, which looked very proper on him, and with the calm and solemn expression on the man's face, it added a bit of non-angry and self-authoritative momentum to him.
At this time, he was looking at the unfolded letter in his hand, which was dripping with ink and scribbled, and he could tell that someone had written it in anger.
The expression on the man's face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end of the fierce letter, and he folded the letter back into the envelope as it was, and then put the letter on the low table next to him.
"Master, tea is here." The old and dignified housekeeper Wang carried the tray, stepped over the steps of the study, walked in lightly, and put the tea cup on the low table.
"Hmm." Duan Haochu answered, sat down and picked up the teacup.
Steward Wang glanced at Duan Haochu's face, cautiously glanced at the letter placed on the low table, hesitated for a moment and said, "Madame's letter from this four-hundred-mile expedited delivery...... Is there something big going on in the house? β
"It's not a big deal," Duan Haochu took a sip of tea and said lightly, "It's just that the second brother's marriage has had some twists and turns." β
"This ...... Could it be that the second young master and Princess Jinyang had an awkward quarrel? Steward Wang watched Duan Haochu grow up, and when he looked at him, he knew that it was not an earth-shattering event, and Steward Wang was the companion of Duan Haochu's biological mother, Fan. As an old man in the house, he looked down on the lady who came from behind.
He felt that the Qin family was a woman from a small family, with long hair and short knowledge, and ignored the eldest young master's love when he was a child.
"That's not it," Duan Haochu continued to say calmly, "Uncle Wang, you should know it, Li Zheng originally had a fiancΓ©e. β
"Huh?" Steward Wang was stunned, thought for a while, and then suddenly clapped his hands, "Don't you say that I really didn't remember, when the master was alive, he did set a family for the second young master, I remember...... It's the young lady of the Zhu family. β
"Miss of the Zhu family?" A trace of ripples appeared on Duan Haochu's handsome and unwavering face, "Before I saw this letter, I hadn't heard about it. β
"This ......" Steward Wang had a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "It's not, later Miss Zhu's parents died, and after the old man passed away, no one mentioned this matter at all, and then the second young master also came out, and the lady didn't allow people in the house to chew their tongues about it." β
"Oh?" Duan Haochu's knuckles rhythmically tapped the low table, making a tuk-tuk sound, and said affirmatively, "So Madame regretted it later." β
"It should be, after all, that Miss Zhu is indeed not worthy of the second young master," Steward Wang said.
Duan Haochu's eyes flashed, and he pointed to the letter on the low table and said, "In the letter, it is written that Miss Zhu is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage with the marriage letter in her hand, and Mrs. went to the door to withdraw the marriage for the second brother and suffered a lot of ridicule. β
"Is there such a thing?" Steward Wang's eyes widened, "Madame does want to withdraw from the marriage, but this kind of marriage contract that is not the right door, and the woman is really ugly to hold onto." No wonder Madame is angry. β
After listening to Steward Wang's words, Duan Haochu frowned, "Even so, this marriage contract is real, if one is not handled well, the reputation of the second brother will be damaged, but it is not appropriate to make such a thing when the township test is about to be contested." He said coldly.
"Madame is easy to be impulsive when she encounters the matter of the second young master," Steward Wang smiled, "But this woman's affairs will go with Madame, and the second young master will not let himself suffer." β
"I just don't know what this kind of thing is going to do in an urgent way to send a letter to the master, and what does it have to do with the master?" Steward Wang's wrinkled old face showed a hint of disgust, and he smiled dryly, "Isn't it possible to ask the master to divorce the second young master?"
Duan Haochu stared at the envelope, his face was indistinguishable from joy and anger, "No, this time it really has something to do with me." β
His slender fingers caressed the surface of the envelope, "Lizheng's fiancΓ©e, this Miss Zhu Jiu said that she could agree to withdraw from the marriage, but one of the conditions was to see me." β
"See the master?" Steward Wang shouted.
Duan Haochu glanced at him, and Steward Wang immediately realized his gaffe, and then asked in a low voice, "Does the master know this Miss Zhu Jiu?" β
"I don't know." Duan Haochu replied unhurriedly, "It's the first time I've even seen this name. β
"Then why does this Miss Zhu Jiu want to see the master," Steward Wang glared at the envelope in disbelief, "This is too shameless......
"Madame asked me in the letter if anything happened to this Miss Zhu Jiu," Duan Haochu's gaze became more and more cold, like frost, "told me to go back to the house." β
"This ......" Steward Wang looked at Duan Haochu in embarrassment, "I have to call the master back for this idea......"
"It's not this time or twice." Duan Haochu drank tea quietly, and after drinking, he put the tea cup back on the low table, he kept a sad and unhappy expression on his face, and said tepidly, "Four hundred miles urgently, Madame probably moved the real fire this time, and if she didn't follow her wishes, she must be saying that I am not filial again." β
"Really!" Steward Wang became angry, "Eccentricity doesn't bring such a biased ......" He was about to continue to say that the Qin clan was not, but Duan Haochu raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Uncle Wang, go down and make arrangements, let's go back." He commanded lightly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In Huizhou, thousands of miles away from the Divine Capital, the atmosphere of the Duan Mansion was much more gloomy than the mansion in the Divine Capital.
The servants listened in horror to the clatter of the broken porcelain in the room, and Duan Zhiyun in the hall stared at the fragments of the tea cup on the ground with an irritated expression.
"Are you willing to withdraw from the marriage when you see your eldest brother?" The girl's voice was a little out of tune, "Isn't it enough to stick to the second brother?" Still hit the big brother with the idea? β
The young girl's voice became hysterical because of anger, and when she heard her mother come back and bring her, Duan Zhiyun was angry and hateful, if Miss Zhu Jiu was here, she couldn't wait to rush up and tear her to pieces.
"She said that she was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and if we didn't obey her wishes, she would take the marriage book to every school in Huizhou to accuse Erlang of treachery and abandonment." Qin Shi held his forehead with a headache.
"Shameless villain!" Duan Zhiyun squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth.
"Zheng'er is a scholar, I can't let this girl ruin him like this," Qin said tiredly, "I have already sent a letter to ask Da Lang to come back, Da Lang has achieved three grades, and he will definitely be able to solve this matter properly." β
Duan Zhiyun bit her lip, only feeling aggrieved and disgusted.
"In addition to this condition, the woman put forward another condition, right?" She asked hatefully.
"Well," Qin nodded slightly, and then immediately smiled, "But this condition is outrageous, there is absolutely no problem, and that girl who doesn't know the height of the sky thinks that this matter can still be regarded as a condition." β
Qin said mockingly.
