Chapter 048: Ni Mansion Comes to Make Trouble
Hearing that the Ni family in Pingcheng was coming, a trace of light quickly flashed in Li's eyes, but it soon disappeared under the dark and waveless eyes.
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the Li family can no longer sit still.
Suddenly there was a loud shout outside, and then a series of curses rang out, "Let go of the master!" You are loyal and brave to wait for the government to bully people and rob the people's daughters! forcibly kidnapped my brother-in-law as a concubine, and there is no heavenly reason! ”
The old lady's face immediately changed.
Zhou Shumei's face turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Xi, but saw Xiao Xi glanced at her faintly, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of her lips, which made her originally tense heart settle down unconsciously.
After a while, a tall, thin man was escorted in by a few servants. As soon as the man saw Zhou Shumei, he hurriedly shouted at her, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you okay!" Don't worry, I'll get you out. ”
Zhou Shumei's face changed, "Where did the ruffians dare to talk nonsense here, come on, give me a palm!" ”
"Brother-in-law, you ...... How can you say that? Could it be that you saw that my brother was seriously ill, so he climbed the high branch of the Zhongyong Mansion and wanted to ruin the marriage! Don't forget, you and my brother are married! The man shouted.
Zhou Shumei's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to tell for a while.
"Master, what's going on?" Li looked at Xiao Yandao in panic.
As soon as Li spoke, Xiao Yan's face became extremely ugly.
Today's trouble, I'm afraid that it won't be long, and the whole capital will spread...... The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more ugly his face became. The reason why he accepted Zhou Shumei at the beginning was that he was really a little moved by her, and secondly, he was also excited by the Li family, but now that he thinks about it, his original decision was indeed too impulsive.
"Okay! It turns out that you already had a marriage contract, and you lied to my father to accept you! What a shame! Xiao Xile got up and pointed at Zhou Shumei and said indignantly, at the end, she turned her face to look at the man and said, "She lied to our Houfu, otherwise how could we accept a treacherous concubine with a marriage contract with our Houfu's status!" If you want to be reasonable, just drag her away! Major Shove this basin of dirty water on our Houfu! ”
Xiao Xile's words clearly put all the faults on Zhou Shumei, and picked up and down the Houfu cleanly.
It's a good idea.
If Xiao Yan cared more about Houfu and his reputation.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan listened to Xiao Xile's words, and frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop him.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't speak, Zhou Shumei felt a chill in her heart, and hurriedly knelt in front of Xiao Yan, held his hand, and shouted with tears in her eyes, "Master......"
Looking at the touching Zhou Shumei, Xiao Yan's heart did not feel soft.
"You just called my aunt a brother-in-law, so ...... are you" At this time, Xiao Xiwei said slowly.
Seeing this beautiful young lady ask himself, the man was excited for a while, "Back to Miss's words, the little Ni Hai is the eldest son of the Ni family in Pingcheng, my younger brother Ni Maosong has been engaged to the young lady of the Zhou family since he was a child, and he was about to welcome her through the door not long ago, but I heard that she was detained by your mansion and forcibly accepted as a concubine, so the little one came to the door with the courage to come to the door." ”
"I see." Xiao Xi nodded slightly, "The marriage certificate?" Have you ever brought the marriage certificate? ”
Ni Hai was stunned, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring the marriage certificate." However, this matter is well known in Heicheng, and if the young lady does not believe it, send someone to inquire. ”
Xiao Xi smiled, "Having said so much, you don't have any evidence." Just because you opened your mouth to say that, you want to take an aunt away from our loyal waiting house? What are you to be loyal and brave? ”
"Nope! What I said is true! If you don't believe it, you can check it! Ni Hai said busily.
"Not necessarily. In fact, Aunt Zhou once had a marriage contract, and we have known about it for a long time. Xiao Xi smiled faintly.
"Wei'er, what nonsense are you talking about! It's about your father's reputation and Houfu's reputation, how can you talk nonsense! Li Shi shouted violently, and coughed a few times while reaching out to cover his chest, looking like he was slightly angry by Xiao Xi.
"Good! It turns out that you Houfu already knew that she had a marriage contract and accepted her into the mansion, do you still have a royal law! Is it because you are a high and powerful person that you will be forced to marry another woman? Ni Hai said angrily.
"His wife? If I'm not mistaken, Aunt Zhou hasn't passed through your Ni family's door yet, right? Xiao Xi said lightly.
"What if you don't get through the door! Anyway, it's an indisputable fact that she and my brother have a marriage contract! If you don't hand her over, I'll make a fuss all over the city, and then we'll see who is right!" Ni Hai puffed out his chest and said loudly.
"Wei'er." Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiwei with a calm face, as if he didn't want her to say any more.
For Xiao Yan, compared to his and Houfu's reputation, a concubine is nothing at all, even if he really likes Zhou Shumei a little bit in his heart.
"Dad, are you going to hand over Aunt Zhou to him?" Xiao Xi stood up slightly, looking at Xiao Yan with cold eyes, with a hint of sadness.
Being looked at by Xiao Xiwei like this, Xiao Yan was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Master, I am wholeheartedly devoted to you, you ...... You're going to hand me over. Zhou Shumei pulled Xiao Yan's hand, and tears welled up at once.
"Aunt Zhou, you don't know what to do, and you dare to deceive Houfu to seduce the lord even though you have a marriage contract! This kind of paper can't contain the fire, if it is poked out and not said to damage the reputation of the lord and the Houfu, maybe it will affect the lord's official career! If you really have a master in your heart, how can you do this! Li said with a calm face.
What Xiao Yan cares about most in this life is his official career, Li's words hit his heart, as soon as he heard it, he subconsciously frowned, and stretched out his hand to push Zhou Shumei away.
"Mother is right, paper is wrapped in fire!" Xiao Xi stared at Li slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "There are some things that I think I do without knowing it, but in fact, it's just self-deception." ”
These meaningful words made Li's eyes sink.
Xiao Xiwei didn't bother to look at the Li family anymore, but quickly moved his gaze to Ni Hai, "You said you are the eldest prince of the Ni Mansion?" ”
"Yes."
"As far as I know, the biological mother of the eldest son of Ni Mansion is a fireworks woman, and she was not accepted into Ni Mansion until she was seven years old, and she has not been accepted by the main mother. Son, this is true, right? Xiao Xiwei looked at Ni Haidao.
Being poked in front of so many people, Ni Hai's face was a little ugly, "So what!" ”
"How? Since the eldest prince was ostracized by the main mother, how could she let you come to the Houfu for her son? Xiao Xi stared at Ni Haidao with a slight smile.
Ni Hai was stunned at first, but then quickly came back to his senses, "They are just afraid of offending Houfu so they pushed me out, if they want to return someone, I am the one who offended Houfu!" If I don't come back, I'm afraid that I will be humiliated when I go back! ”
"So, Gongzi knew that he would definitely offend Houfu here, but he still came to take the risk alone?"
"I, I can't help it. I was also forced. ”
Xiao Xi nodded slightly, "Since it was Ni Mansion who asked Gongzi to come to Houfu, how could he not let Gongzi bring the marriage book?" Oh, yes, just now the son said that the marriage book fell in the Ni Mansion, but the strange thing is that I do have a marriage letter here. Xiao Xi smiled faintly, took out a marriage certificate from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan took the marriage book and hurriedly skimmed over a few lines, and saw that this marriage book was really the marriage book of Zhou Shumei and Ni Maosong
Xiao Xi smiled, "If Daddy finishes reading it, you might as well show this marriage book to Ni Gongzi and let him see if this is the marriage book of the Ni family." ”
Although Xiao Yan was puzzled, he finally threw the marriage book in his hand in front of Ni Hai.
"Childe, let's see if this marriage book is the marriage book of the Ni family?"
Ni Hai looked down and saw that it was indeed the Ni family's marriage book lying on the ground.
This, what the hell is going on?
"Wei'er, what the hell is going on?" Not only Ni Hai was puzzled, but even the old lady who had been calm and did not speak also had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Xiao Xi smiled, "Grandmother, in fact, it's not just the marriage certificate, even the divorce letter, Wei'er also has a copy here." As she spoke, she took out another piece of paper and presented it to the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was really the Ni family's divorce letter.
"Wei'er, this ......"
"Grandmother, the second son of the Ni family knew that he was seriously ill and difficult to recover, and he didn't want to drag Aunt Zhou down, so he asked his family to write a divorce letter and send it to Zhou's mansion together with the marriage letter early in the morning. Aunt Zhou felt that she couldn't live with the second son of the Ni family, and she was afraid of touching the scene, so she handed over the marriage letter and the divorce letter to Wei'er for safekeeping. Xiao Xi said lightly.
"Is that so?" Xiao Yan looked down at Zhou Shumei.
Zhou Shumei was originally scared half to death, but now when she heard Xiao Yan ask, she immediately reacted, hurriedly hugged Xiao Yan's legs, and burst into tears for a while, "The concubine just feels sorry for the second son of Ni, the second son of Ni knows that he is seriously ill and difficult to treat and can't bear to drag me down, so he came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and the sister-in-law was afraid that I would be cranky at home, so she brought me to the capital to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and she didn't want me to ...... I didn't even realize that I was in love with the old man...... The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for Ni Ergongzi, so I ...... So......" Zhou Shumei said and couldn't cry silently.
The big tears soaked Xiao Yan's clothes in an instant, Xiao Yan only felt that his heart was also soaked in these tears, thinking that he had almost pushed her out just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zhou Shumei up, softened his face and said, "That's the case, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
What kind of person is Zhou Shumei, when she saw Xiao Yan's tone change, she nudged Xiao Yan with disgust, "I want to explain, but you, sir...... Did you let me explain? As he spoke, he tugged at the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Yes, this time it's for your husband to blame you, and your husband is here to make amends to you." Listening to Zhou Shumei's delicate voice, Xiao Yan only felt that her heart moved, and it was rare to coax her gently.
Li Shi looked at all this, and only felt that his chest felt as if he had been scratched by a cat.
He whispered so softly to this slut! In front of so many people, does he still have her as the lady of the main room in his heart!
Looking at the anger in Li's eyes, which couldn't be suppressed, Xiao Xi's lips couldn't help but sneer.
"Ni eldest prince, Ni Mansion has already sent someone to send a letter of divorce, both Ni and Zhou families know about this, why did Ni eldest prince still run to my Houfu to make a big fuss and want to put Houfu in an unkind and unrighteous place?"
