Chapter Thirty-Eight: Forced Marriage
Marriage has always been handled by parents and elders, and there is no etiquette for them to take the lead.
Xiao Kun listened to Xu Zhan's dignified words, and thought of what Xiao Qingyan said to him last night, and suddenly became angry.
"You shameless person who forgets your righteousness, you still have the face to come to the door of our Xiao family!"
Xu Zhan was scolded and disgraced, but when he thought that the Xiao family was about to marry the eldest princess of Nanyang, he didn't dare to come too hard.
"The head of the Xiao family, Xu is also forced to be helpless, that is the eldest princess of Nanyang, even your Xiao family does not dare to offend easily, how dare our Xu family disobey the order of the eldest princess?"
Xiao Kun said coldly: "That's because your Xu family is timid and afraid, and you can even abandon your integrity, don't implicate our Xiao family!" My Jiulang hasn't said anything yet, what face does your Xu family have to come to the door and withdraw from the marriage? ”
Xu Zhan couldn't hold it on his face, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Anyway, your Jiulang is about to marry the county lord of Changle, and it will be a matter of time before he divorces!" ”
"What did you say?"
Xiao Kun only knew that the eldest princess of Nanyang had taken Wang Yun away, but he didn't know the reason, and when he heard Xu Zhan's words, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Qingyan.
"Kuro?"
Xiao Qingyan had expected that the Xu family would come to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and she came to Xu Zhan.
"Even if the marriage contract is dissolved, it will not be your Xu family's turn, Xu Zhan, you heard clearly, today it is not your Xu family that wants to withdraw from the marriage, but my Xiao Qingyan is going to divorce your daughter! You are a corrupt family, my Xiao family can't look down on it! ”
As she spoke, she threw a document in front of Xu Zhan.
Xu Zhan subconsciously picked up the paperwork, unfolded the white paper, and the two big words "Retirement Book" at the beginning were like a slap on Xu Zhan's head.
"You ......" Xu Zhan blushed, annoyed in his heart, but he forcibly held back the words in his throat.
Xiao Kun couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, although Jiulang's approach was ungentlemanly, it was really happy.
He snorted coldly and raised his voice: "Come on, send off guests!" ”
Nie Yao, who had been guarding the door for a long time, rushed in with the guards of the North Courtyard and set Xu Zhan up unceremoniously.
"What are you going to do? Let me go! Xu Zhan was shocked.
Nie Yao didn't listen to what he said at all, and took someone to throw Xu Zhan out of the Xiao family.
Xu Zhan got up from the ground in embarrassment, tore Xiu Shu to shreds, flicked his sleeves and returned to his carriage with a dirty face, and just walked not far away, he bumped into the housekeeper Liu Zhong.
"Family master, it's not good, the young master is gone!"
Xu Zhan stared blankly at Liu Zhong, who was lying outside the car window: "What do you mean it's gone?" You straighten my tongue for me and make it clear. ”
Liu Zhong couldn't help but sweat profusely, and hurriedly said: "The young master went to Fengyue Pavilion last night, and this morning the coachman couldn't wait for the young master to come out, so he went in to look for someone, but the people in Fengyue Pavilion said that the young master left last night." ”
"When is this, he still goes to Fengyue Pavilion to fool around! Maybe I went somewhere else. ”
"No, it's not." Liu Zhong said, "The villain searched everywhere, but he didn't find the young master, and then the villain felt that something was wrong, so he went to Fengyue Pavilion in person, and then I heard the girl who was good with the young master say that last night a footman saw the young master, but then when the girl returned to the room, the young master and the footman were gone, but the Hongrui girl kept outside, and didn't see the two come out at all." ”
In other words, two people are in the room, and they disappear inexplicably?
Xiao Kun felt ridiculous, but the cold figure of Xiao Jiajiulang flashed inexplicably in his mind.
Liu Zhong's voice drifted into his ears at this time: "Family master, you said, is it possible that the Xiao family kidnapped the young master?" ”
coincided with Xiao Kun's sudden flashing thoughts, and Xiao Kun's heart was excited.
"What nonsense?"
Liu Zhong shrunk his neck, but still couldn't help but say, "Family master, why don't you go to the Xiao family and ask?" ”
Xiao Kun said solemnly: "This is just our speculation, there is no evidence, how can we ask?" Let's look again! ”
Maybe it's the thing that didn't make it and where it goes, and soon it's going home on its own.
Perhaps......
Not long after Xu Zhan left the Xiao family, the person Xiao Qingyan really had to wait for arrived.
Shen Ji, the concubine of the eldest princess of Nanyang, came to the door in person, glanced at Xiao Qingyan who was standing aside, and said to Xiao Kun who was in the right position with a smile: "The head of the Xiao family must have known my intention, so I won't beat around the bush, the queen mother and the eldest princess have taken a fancy to the appearance of the Xiao family Jiulang, and want to recruit a son-in-law for the little girl Changle." ”
It's just blatant and unabashedly bullying!
Xiao Qingyan looked at this Shen Yuma, Shen Ji was a beautiful man on the same level as Xiao Yu'an when he was young, but Shen Ji in front of him had a big belly, and the excessive fat powder wiped his face white, and he couldn't cover the bruises under his eyes and the tiredness on his face.
Marrying such a fierce tigress as his wife, Shen Ji and even the entire Shen family have to look at the face of the eldest princess of Nanyang to live.
The eldest princess of Nanyang raised countless faces, but Shen Ji didn't even dare to accept a concubine's room, and the queen was miserable, but she had to smile in front of her to support her face, and her seven-foot husband became a joke in the Great Jin Dynasty.
Shen Ji should hate Xiao Yu'an very much, right?
Because just when Shen Ji looked at her, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Kun slapped a few cases heavily, he was angry, and his figure was a little staggered when he stood up.
"You're so deceitful!"
Shen Ji said indifferently: "Changle is my only daughter after all, and I don't want her to marry Xiao Yu'an's son, but you also know the eldest princess's style of acting, this matter is not up to you, nor can I do it, I just came today to spread a word, the eldest princess means that the eighth day after tomorrow is a good day, I hope that when the time comes, I can see Xiao Jiajiulang wearing a wedding dress to greet his relatives." ”
Xiao Kun said coldly: "What if we don't agree? ”
Shen Ji smiled: "Although I don't know what tricks your Xiao family has, so that the Queen Mother has never dared to uproot the Xiao family for so many years, but there are many people in your Xiao family who have died, if you refuse to agree, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess may not let the Xiao family completely disappear like the Ji family, but let Mrs. Xiao disappear from the world...... They can definitely do it. ”
"Dogs fighting people!" No matter how good Xiao Kun's cultivation was, he couldn't help it, and scolded.
Xiao Qingyan looked at Shen Ji indifferently, poor people must have something to hate, Shen Ji lives in the shadow of the eldest princess of Nanyang, and he is beaten and scolded, even the Shen family is the eldest princess of Nanyang who says that she will kill and kill, and she is not as good as a dog, but Shen Ji is willing to be a dog of the mother and daughter of the Empress Dowager Yang, helping to abuse, and is happy to see others more unfortunate than him.
Xiao Qingyan stopped the angry uncle and grandfather, and said to Shen Ji with a cold attitude: "It is Xiao Qingyan's luck to be able to marry the golden and noble county lord of Changle, please Shen Yuma go back and tell the eldest princess, the day after tomorrow, Xiao Qingyan must have prepared enough dowry and personally came to the door to marry the county lord, just to avoid wronging the county lord, there must be a high hall when visiting the hall." ”
Shen Ji smiled contemptuously, Xiao Yu'an was tough back then and refused Princess Nanyang's forced marriage, but now his son has not fallen to this point, and the Xiao family is nothing more than that.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Xiao will definitely be present when you visit the church."
