Chapter 41: An Unexpected End
This person Nian Yingxi knows each other, but she basically has no impression of this Pinghu prince, so she doesn't even bother to laugh, and directly wants to withdraw her gaze.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when she wanted to withdraw her gaze, Xuan Yuehuai opened her thin lips slightly, although it was a silent word, Nian Yingxi instantly clearly understood what he wanted to convey.
In the turn of her mind, Nian Yingxi calmly withdrew her gaze, but her heart was tense, because of Xuan Yuehuai's words, because he smiled and said, "Future queen, you are very interesting." ”
Xuan Yuehuai was entrusted to come today, just as a boring entertainment, but he didn't want to let him find such an interesting thing, he clearly saw how Nian Yingxi unknowingly put his palm under the table, although he didn't understand her purpose of planting a blame to attract right and wrong, but he knew very well that this woman's internal strength was by no means very comparable, so when he made eye contact with her, he suddenly became interested, his eyebrows and eyes smiled, and his lips gradually opened.
A cold and dangerous aura suddenly came from behind him, which made Xuan Yuehuai put away her smile, turned to the man behind her, and raised her eyebrows playfully, "The possessiveness is still really strong, it's just a joke." ”
The man was dressed in tight black, revealing strong lines, a straight body, and his whole face was hidden under the white veil because of the wide-brimmed hood, and only the waist-length thick hair that was tied up high and hung down behind him along the hole in the hood.
Hearing Xuan Yuehuai's seemingly smiling explanation, the man was speechless, but the dangerous aura that had just emanated from his body dissipated into the air in an instant.
A soft 'snap' sounded in the huge antechamber, and all the eyes in the antechamber looked at the source, not because of how loud it was, but because everyone was curious about what made the sound.
Nian Yingxi was the first to see the pile of things that were still on the table, and when she saw clearly that it was a letter tied with a red string, she smiled and pursed her lips, it seemed that this farce was about to end.
"What is this?" Li Liansheng, who was frozen in the middle of the crowd, followed the letter on the table and looked at the second son Li Xiang, who threw out the letter.
Li Xiang pursed his lips, but looked at Nian Yingchun with a sneer, "The third lady of the Nian family should know better than me, what is this pile?" ”
Nian Gengrong's brows tightened, his eyes calmed, although he didn't know what it was, but he clearly understood the notes with the four big characters of 'Li Lang's personal enlightenment'.
I think back then, Nian Gengrong was because of An Zhimei's hand-written font of the beautiful regular script, so he and An Zhimei had a husband and wife relationship, and now how can he not recognize that those four words are from An Zhimei's hand?
Raising his eyes to look at the expressionless Li Xiang, Nian Gengrong muttered in his heart, this An Zhimei helped Nian Yingchun write love letters, but why did these letters come out of Li Xiang's arms? Could it be that something went wrong with the messenger? Sent to the wrong person?
"Why is this letter with you?" Although Nian Yingchun had not written these letters by hand, she had always seen them, and now she was very puzzled when she saw these letters taken out of Li Xiang's arms.
Li Xiang smiled coldly in the face of everyone's questions, "These letters are sent to me by the third lady every day, if it is a mistake, it is a bit far-fetched, right?" ”
Nian Yingchun didn't expect things to turn out like this, she couldn't deal with it for a while, and she didn't know what to say, she listened to An Zhimei about the whole thing, not who sent the letter to Li Fu, she used to be too lazy to ask in order to save trouble, but now it's better, just find someone to confront her, she doesn't know who to go to.
Li Liansheng saw that Li Xiang had received those letters, although he didn't know what was going on, but he was finally relieved in his heart, walked to Nian Gengrong's side, and bent down with a smile, "Presumably the matter is a misunderstanding, what do you say?" He asked this because he knew very well in his heart that Nian Gengrong would never let his second son marry Nian Yingchun anyway, so he simply hurried to give Nian Gengrong a step down, so as to end this unclear matter.
Of course, Nian Gengrong was also unexpected, but he didn't want to come down from this step for the time being, things turned out like this, even if he was coerced and enticed in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult for Li Liansheng to nod and agree to the marriage between Nian Yingchun and Li Pei, and Nian Yingchun is so out of shape today, that is, he wants to find another in-law for her, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult for a while.
In the past, Nian Gengrong was anxious about his eldest daughter, but now he is anxious about his younger daughter, and once again thought about the holy decree that had been prepared and was imminent, his heart was ruthless, his teeth were gritted, and he opened his mouth with great momentum, "Since this letter was sent to Li's mansion, and it was personally accepted by Li Ergongzi, now that things are like this, it will definitely spread to Xuanguo in a few days, Boss Li thinks, can Nian's daughter still marry at that time?" ”
Li Liansheng was stunned, only to feel that his bent old waist 'rattle', raised his eyes stiffly, looked at Nian Gengrong's uncertain face, and smiled tentatively, "What do you mean by the deputy capital of that year?" ”
looked at Li Xiang, who was vastly different from Li Pei, and said in resignation, "Please also ask Boss Li to make the decision today, in front of all the guests, to set the relationship between Li Ergongzi and the little daughter, so that it is also an explanation of Nian's daughter's name." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone let out a cry of amazement, but no one dared to believe that Nian Gengrong actually put his daughter in the fire pit.
Although Li Xiang has the support of the Li family's strong wealth, he is also a well-known noble son in Xuanguo, but Li Xiang was born with a disability and paralysis in his lower body, who doesn't know? Which of the guests present did not have a wife and a husband? And how can you not know what it means for a man to be paralyzed in the lower body?
Nian Yingchun was stunned in place, staring at Nian Gengrong stupidly, as if she doubted that she had heard something wrong just now.
Li Liansheng's eyes rolled and he laughed, "In that case, then tomorrow Li will send the dowry to the Nian Mansion." Although he didn't know what Nian Gengrong couldn't wait to marry the second daughter for, but thinking that his paralyzed son could finally say that he was a daughter-in-law, and the other party was still the third lady of the Nian family, he was naturally full of joy more than sorrow, no matter who looked at this matter, it was pie in the sky and smashed on the head of their Li family.
Li Xiang has known his flaws since he was a child, so he doesn't care about who to marry at all, and now he sees that Li Liansheng has found a squeamish woman for himself as a wife, not angry but happy, anyway, he can't be humane, it's good to find someone he hates to marry, so that he can justifiably ravage and bully her.
"Little lady, I'll have a lot of advice in the future." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he greeted the little guy first, and carried himself out of the front hall, after making trouble for so long, he was also tired, and he had to think about it tonight, what means he would use in the future to 'play' him, the daughter-in-law who was sent to the door by himself.
Li Xiang is gone, but his words completely stimulated Nian Yingchun, she didn't expect things to turn out like this, not only did Li Pei not get it, but she was married out of confusion by Nian Gengrong.
"Daddy!" Nian Yingchun cried, her legs were weak, she knelt at Nian Gengrong's feet, hugged Nian Gengrong's thighs, and snot and tears, "How can Daddy be so ruthless?" How can a daddy push his daughter into a fire pit? ”
Nian Gengrong was already in a state of extreme distress, but now seeing Nian Yingchun crying like this again, he immediately retracted his thighs and said to his guards beside him, "Send the third miss back first." ”
These two guards have been following Nian Gengrong for a few years, so they naturally obeyed Nian Gengrong's words, and the two of them put their hands together, pulled Nian Yingchun on the ground, and walked towards the door.
As the saying goes, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites in a hurry, and at this time, Nian Yingchun suddenly saw Nian Yingxi, who had been wrong, as a sister for the first time, broke free from the clamps of the two guards, and pounced directly at Nian Yingxi's feet, crying tears and blurred eyes, "Sister save me, sister save me, I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong......
To tell the truth, Nian Yingxi thought that Li Xiang received the letter and stimulated Nian Yingchun in public, and this matter would be over, because Nian Gengrong would never marry Nian Yingchun to Li Xiang, but unexpectedly, Nian Gengrong not only agreed, but also couldn't wait to send Nian Yingchun over tomorrow, which she didn't expect at all.
Raising her eyes to look at Nian Gengrong, who had a heartache on her face but couldn't help but hold back, Nian Ying couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that something must have happened here that she didn't know.
"Why are you still stunned? Want to take a board? Hurry up and send the third lady back! ”
Nian Gengrong spoke again, so that the two guards stepped forward again and pulled Nian Yingchun up, this time they used all their strength to drag and pull the crying Nian Yingchun away.
It wasn't until Nian Yingchun's cry completely disappeared in the Li Mansion that Li Liansheng beckoned all the guests back to their seats, picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said loudly, "Today can be described as double happiness, and I hope everyone will not get drunk and return!" ”
Although the others were sorry for Nian Yingchun, they drank the wine in the cup with a smile in an instant, and the more snobbish people had already walked to Li Liansheng's side and toasted in turn.
Nian Yingxi saw it in her eyes, cold at the tip of her heart, this is not about herself, the world here is really cold and outrageous, she got up and took advantage of Nian Gengrong not paying attention, and slipped out of the front hall, she now has another important thing to do.
Li Pei, who had just finished drinking a glass of wine with others, looked back, saw that the stool next to him was vacant for some time, raised his eyes and looked around, and when he saw the shadow that walked out of the door, he just wanted to get up and chase it, but he didn't want to get up at the same time as he got up, and another glass of wine was handed to him.
Li Pei saw that the person who came to toast was actually one of the top grain merchants in Xuanguo, so he could only stand helplessly and take the wine glass with a smile.
