All the major national affairs of Bei Yinguo were finalized at a round table. And there were only eleven chairs under the round table.

This means that although the fate of Bei Yinguo is related to hundreds of millions of people, it is only in the hands of eleven people.

These eleven people with the right to heaven are naturally not ordinary people.

Young aristocrats, who knew at least some of the secrets, would often complain that the eleven chairs were not human at all.

For example, the cold-faced tiger of the Xiao family who eats people without blinking and the sinister fox of the Mu family who dares to pull the prime minister off the horse, they can sit firmly on the chair coveted by countless people, which one does not have some inhuman history that cannot be seen?

There is no shortage of cruel food chains in the forest of rights.

Some careerists hiding in the shadows did something obscure, trying to break the deadlock in the Eleven-member Council by tearing the tiger and the fox apart.

However, they did not succeed. Because the Xiao family and the Mu family have a marriage contract.

Although this marriage contract with flowers inserted in cow dung has always been criticized by the people and slandered by countless young heroes, it has never been shaken in the slightest.

Just like the alliance between Xiao Mu's two families attached to this marriage contract, it has always been unbreakable.

But today there seems to be a turnaround.

The Xiao family's mansion, which rarely has visitors, suddenly has two guests come to visit

The Xiao family tiger personally came out to greet and led the guests to the most secret study.

He closed the door, even the door of the Xiao family.

However, it can't close all kinds of gossip that spreads around.

The apparent calm of the national capital was suddenly shattered.

What does it mean that the old fox of the Mu family suddenly visited the Xiao Mansion with a girl in white?

They must have come to talk about things, but since Mu Fox didn't come alone, it means that this matter will definitely not be a state affair.

It's not a state affair, it's probably a family affair.

Combined with a certain scandal that has been looming these days, everyone guesses which family matter this will be.

Countless people looked at the Xiao Mansion

Xiao Laohu brought the two distinguished guests into the study, and closed the door directly without instructing the servants to serve tea.

Some of the cronies arranged by the children of the side family in the palace tried to eavesdrop on the ongoing conversation in the study, and were killed on the spot.

Even the guards who were usually very heavy with tiger weapons couldn't get ten meters close to the study.

The content of this conversation may only be known to three people.

At least for now, there was something that only three people knew—it had been three pillars of incense since the door was closed, and no one had opened their mouth to break the silence.

The young girl in white sat casually on a chair some distance from the two of them, holding a book in her hand and immersing herself in it, looking a little out of place.

The other two middle-aged men, one was denounced as a tiger and the other was demoted as a fox. They were each lost in thought from the moment they entered the door.

None of the three of them spoke, and only the sound of a girl flipping through a book kept sounding in the study.

"I thought it would come later. ”

The first to break the silence was Xiao Laohu, his voice low and indifferent.

Mu Fox's eyes narrowed, and he teased: "This is to blame for your son's lack of anger." ”

"That idiot is not angry, Brother Mu didn't know it on the first day. And this marriage has been 14 years now. ”

Xiao Laohu's words are telling Mu Fox, you and I have long known that Xiao Chen is not angry, and I didn't use it as a reason for quitting the marriage before, how can I use it as an excuse now.

Mu Fox was speechless.

Xiao Laohu continued: "Marriage can be withdrawn, but not now. Nowadays, the contradictions between the old and new factions of the cabinet have intensified, the Zhu family and the Su family have become too close, and the Wang family and the monarch have ambiguous contacts. A situation is taking shape in which the party is in the same league and fights against the other. ”

"If the Xiao Mu family tears up the marriage contract at this time, it is a trivial matter to make a joke, if it is used by someone with a heart and affects the Supreme Council at the end of the year, who will be responsible?"

"These eleven chairs, you and I are all sitting with our heads. One day I fell from above, but it wasn't as simple as breaking my head and bleeding. ”

Xiao Laohu finished speaking and stopped talking.

Mu Fox smiled bitterly, he glanced at the girl in white who was still immersed in the book, and said, "Brother Xiao, didn't you think that the covenant between you and me would be broken because of the tearing up of a marriage book?"

Xiao Laohu said in a solemn voice: "The marriage contract is still there, and the risk is smaller." ”

Mu Fox frowned: "A little risk, what is compared to the happiness of my daughter's life?"

"That idiot is naturally not worthy of Leng Xi, and the marriage will be canceled sooner or later. will not catch the life of Cold Creek. What needs to be done now is to maintain the status quo, which is not negotiable. ”

"I'm sorry, but the divorce is not negotiable with me. ”

After an argument between the two, they found that they could not convince each other, and soon fell silent again.

Xiao Laohu glanced at the girl in white who didn't say a word from beginning to end, and knew that she was indeed reading the book carefully, not pretending. There is nothing but amazement and appreciation.

Mu Fox sighed, knowing that he couldn't use conventional methods to convince Xiao Laohu. He had a plan in mind, but it was a plan.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Brother Xiao, no matter how decadent Xiao Chen has been over the years, I have never asked about this family matter. It's not because the alliance between Xiao Mu's two families depends on this marriage letter. It's because Xiao Chen is her child. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Laohu's face changed, and he said coldly: "Don't mention her in front of me." ”

"Because she's a cheap prostitute in Shiryudo, you don't want to hear about it?"

Mu Fox sneered: "This rumor is not your Xiao Laohu's masterpiece, I hope she is really a dusty woman, not a loyal and good family who guards a ruthless man." ”

Xiao Laohu suddenly showed anger, and his voice was cold to the bone: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Mu Fox's expression also became indifferent, and said: "She treats you with deep affection and loyalty. But you let your subordinates spread rumors and slander her reputation. even threw her children into a cold, damp dungeon where there was no sunlight all day. ”

"A six-year-old is locked up for three years and becomes what you call a fool. I had pity on the child, so I didn't interfere with the engagement. And what have you done as a father?"

Xiao Laohu snorted coldly and did not refute.

The girl who was reading a book not far away finally looked up, but she only frowned slightly and remained silent.

Mu Fox sighed and said, "Do you really think I don't know anything?"

Xiao Laohu frowned: "What else do you know?"

Mu Fox said meaningfully: "I know that you are doing these stupid things because she is related to the 'Rebel'. ”

Xiao Laohu's pupils shrank, and his whole person trembled.

After a long time, he calmed down, but his tired face looked like he was several years older.

He said coldly: "Old fox, this time you won. ”

Mu Fox won, and in the matter of retiring from the marriage, Xiao Laohu chose to compromise.

But he didn't win it honorably, and he used a woman who had been in love for half his life to make an article, and he was hurt the most after all.

"So the divorce is so decided?"

He asked, making a final confirmation.

Xiao Laohu said in a deep voice: "I need a reason. ”

Of course, you need a reason to get out of the marriage. There is no reason how to convince people that this is not a farce, and there is no reason to tell the parties why the marriage ended.

After saying the reason, both parties accept it, and the marriage contract is truly dissolved.

Mu Fox had already thought of a reason, and there was more than one.

He spoke: "Leng Xi has been admitted to the Holy War Academy in advance not long ago, and he will leave Bei Yinguo in a few days, and this marriage contract has always been a shackle. ”

"On the other hand, Xiao Gongzi not only broke his left hand, but was recently found to be a source repulsion physique. The disabled person who is destined to be unable to cultivate the source and the genius girl who is about to go to the Holy War Academy, such a stark contrast may make Xiao Gongzi collapse, and it is beneficial for both parties to cancel the marriage earlier. ”

Xiao Laohu lowered his head and pondered, and said, "That's all?"

Mu Fox wanted to speak and stopped, there was one most important reason, but the girl in white was sitting next to him, but he couldn't speak.

After hesitating again and again, he still decided to make a decision: "Three days ago, Miss Su ran all the way from Qifeng Forest with the injured Xiao Gongzi in her arms, and later stayed by Xiao Gongzi's side for a whole day and night. In the end, the Su family sent someone to take her back, but she hugged Xiao Gongzi and refused to leave. This friendship is only afraid that it goes beyond ordinary friendship. ”

"The affair between Xiao Gongzi and Miss Su will not be able to contain the fire after all. When the time comes, if the marriage contract is still there, how will the world view Leng Xi? I'm afraid that some villains will say that the daughter of the Mu family was abandoned by a waste. How can I let Leng Xi suffer this kind of grievance?"

The last reason is actually the real reason, and it is also the reason why Mu Fox resolutely wants to withdraw from the marriage regardless of all the consequences.

Xiao Laohu glanced at the girl in white and found that she could still read seriously unmoved, and finally nodded and said, "I agree to withdraw from the marriage!"

Mu Fox breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was finally settled.

It was not easy to get out of this marriage.

He sorted out his thoughts and was ready to explain some matters after the divorce clearly, he didn't want the alliance between Xiao Mu and the two families to crack because of the dissolution of the marriage contract.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly there were several shouts from outside the house.

Several eager footsteps rang out at the same time.

There was a sudden commotion outside.

Xiao Laohu frowned slightly, and in his heart, he had already sentenced the noisy person outside the house to death.

Suddenly, the door to the study was slammed open.

Sunlight poured in as the door was slammed open, illuminating the room.

The girl reading the book squinted her eyes uncomfortably.

I saw a young man in pajamas stumbling in.

He gasped and said, "I don't agree! I resolutely don't agree to divorce!"

It's silly and cute.
