Chapter 217: Origin
Zhu Luan really didn't want to compare Duan Lizheng and Duan Haochu.
There is a big age gap between the two of them, and they are different in many ways.
But Duan Lizheng often reminds her of Duan Haochu in the past, the young man she met in the mother's hall, like a breeze and morning dew.
The way they express their emotions is somewhat similar.
So she could understand Duan Lizheng's emotions.
But at the same time, it was very difficult for her to understand, because this marriage contract was already difficult to handle, and the stakes were also very complicated, and most of them could not be told to outsiders.
"Why is it troublesome?" Sensing the girl's silence, Duan Lizheng repeated it again.
The voice was soft, but it revealed the stubbornness of this young man.
"Because a lot of people don't want you to know." Zhu Luan replied, although she felt that Duan Lizheng's mood was wrong, she still chose to tell the truth.
At this time, Duan Lizheng was stunned.
A lot of people don't want him to know?
Yes, it does.
There is such a thing as a marriage contract, it is not the turn of this girl to tell herself personally, it should be his parents, his elders, his teachers, and his brothers, no matter how she says, it will not be her turn.
If none of these people told him, and she was a girl who came to tell him, everyone would blame the girl for not being reserved.
Perhaps there are even more ugly words.
Duan Lizheng's face showed a trace of chagrin, and he regretted that he was driven by his inner emotions and couldn't get a response from his brother, so he chose to ask this woman first.
She is actually the one who has no choice.
She may even have lost what was rightfully hers because of this engagement.
Duan Lizheng remembered his argument with Mr. Nanshan, who was obviously well-read and knowledgeable, but she was unable to join Ziyang Academy.
At that time, he asked Mr. Nanshan why, and Mr. Nanshan said that it was for him.
He didn't understand it at the time, but he kind of understands it now.
She was betrothed to him, but chose to sacrifice her in order to protect her reputation?
"I'll investigate this matter clearly," Duan Lizheng lowered his gaze and raised it again.
"I won't let you be wronged." He said.
What kind of grievance this grievance is, he didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knows it.
Miss Zhu Jiu has a marriage contract with Duan Ergongzi, but she has not enjoyed the treatment of Duan Ergongzi's marriage contract for a day.
He now knew that as a gentleman, he would take responsibility, regardless of whether the engagement was what he wanted or not.
"I don't have any grievances, Duan Ergongzi doesn't have to be like this." Zhu Luan looked at Duan Lizheng and said.
From beginning to end, it was not her who was most wronged.
Just like he said when she went to see Sima Hao, when he grabbed her, when she broke free of his hand.
No one can hurt her.
If someone wants to hurt her, she will be the first to destroy that person.
The alienation in the girl's words made Duan Lizheng look at her and frown slightly, but this time Zhu Luan didn't let him speak, he took the first step.
"Regarding this marriage contract, there is actually one more thing that needs to be known to Duan Ergongzi." Zhu Luan said.
"Just the day before you returned to Huizhou, I went to your house." Zhu Luan said with a smile, and before Duan Lizheng could react, she continued, "I'm going to get out of the marriage. ”
The atmosphere is stagnant.
Duan Lizheng looked at the woman who was standing in the sunlight and said this sentence with a smile, and only felt that there were mixed tastes in his heart.
Turns out that's what she thought.
That's how it was intended.
"But why do you still carry the marriage certificate with you?" Duan Lizheng stared at the girl's eyes and asked.
Since you want to get out of the marriage, why do you still carry the marriage letter with you all the time, and why did you admit that you have a marriage contract with you just when your eldest brother questioned you in public?
What is this? Want to get away with it?
"I really planned to get out of the marriage at that time," Zhu Luan looked at the young man in front of him apologetically, and his tone was even gentler, "This marriage letter was originally two copies, one of which has been torn up by your mother. ”
The girl didn't continue, but Duan Lizheng already understood the meaning of the back.
When his family didn't sign the marriage contract again, Duan Lizheng had already guessed a little bit that his family should not be optimistic about this marriage contract, and even wanted to abandon it.
It can be seen from Duan Zhiyun's attitude that the Duan family's attitude towards Miss Zhu Jiu may not be good.
"It's my family, after all." Duan Lizheng said calmly, "But if you have done anything excessive, you must tell me." ”
"At that time, I wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but your mother's idea of divorce was more urgent, and I didn't want to do what she wanted, so I refused to withdraw from the marriage," Zhu Luan said lightly, and Duan Lizheng's heart once again set off a storm.
"If you don't want to accept this marriage contract, just give it back, why bother?" He said.
Why do you want to gamble on such a thing as a marriage contract? Thinking of the torment he had just suffered, his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Your mother tried her best to get out of the marriage, and I must fulfill her wish without regrets?" She said.
Because your mother upset me, and I don't want her to be happy.
It's as simple as that.
Her idea is also simple.
"But ......" Duan Lizheng frowned, he wanted to say that this statement was not right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
Zhu Luan raised his arm to stop his words.
"Regarding this marriage contract, I have reached an agreement with your mother," the girl held up two fingers, "If you want to withdraw from the marriage, there are two conditions, one is to let your brother Duan Haochu come to talk to me, and the second is that if you lose to me one day, the marriage contract will be dissolved immediately." ”
Lose to her?
What the hell is this?
Duan Lizheng's brows furrowed even deeper, but what puzzled him even more was the condition in front of him.
"What's the matter with my marriage contract with you, big brother?" He said with some annoyance, "Why are you pulling the big brother in? ”
The atmosphere froze again.
The woman in front of her fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
The young man in front of him is innocent, in fact, from beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is just an uninformed person.
"Duan Ergongzi." Zhu Luan said, "This matter has nothing to do with your marriage contract, it is a matter between me and your eldest brother, and I can't tell you the reason." ”
"Also, I want you to keep my conversation with you today a secret from your eldest brother." She said in a solemn and soft voice.
And with whom?
And big brother?
Zhu Ying and Duan Haochu?
The fifteen-year-old girl of the Huizhou boudoir and the high-ranking officials of the Shendu in the year of their establishment, no matter what angle they look at, they can't see what the relationship can be.
Duan Lizheng looked at the woman in front of him, and only felt that she seemed to be shrouded in a fog.
But at the same time, he also clearly felt that he would not be able to walk into this fog at this stage no matter what.
She was not in front of herself, but not like she was in front of herself.
It's close at hand, far away from the world.
