Li Ke strode back home, and everyone in the family didn't know about Li Ke, and when they saw Li Ke come back, they only thought that they had returned from a hangover with their friends.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Ke was stopped by the housekeeper Xu Zhiru: "Young master, you are back, last night the master came to you and said that he wanted to discuss with you about your marriage with the eldest lady of the Tian family, but I didn't see you, and I was not in a good mood." ”

"Got it." Li Ke responded coldly and walked to his room, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.

At noon, the noise in the courtyard woke up Li Ke who was sleeping, and in a daze, he heard the talk outside about the dissolution of the marriage contract between himself and Tian Fengxiao, Li Ke didn't take it seriously and continued to sleep.

Li Ke was just about to fall asleep, the scholar Linji pushed open the door of Li's room in a panic, and a stumbling in, Li Ke slowly raised his eyes and saw that it was Linji and asked: "Little Jizi, what is so flustered, disturbing my good dreams young master." ”

In the entire Li Mansion, Linji is a person who is sincere to himself except for his grandfather, and he has followed him since he was a child. Lin Ji said in a panic: "Oh no, young master, the people of the Tian family came to the house to break the marriage contract between you and Miss Tian on the street, the old man was furious when he heard it, and he was dealing with everyone in the front hall at the moment. ”

As he spoke, Lin Ji took out Li Ke's soft clothes from the cabinet, sorted out the long sword that had been hanging on the head of the bed for a long time, and was about to pull Li Ke up.

Li Ke was sleepy, and said slowly: "Xiao Jizi, don't panic, I have long wanted to cancel the marriage contract of this Tian family, and it is normal for the family to be difficult to accept for a while, it's okay to pass, let them toss, young master, I will continue to sleep, I will explain to my father later, don't toss around, go out and do whatever you want." After hearing this, Lin Ji retreated while worrying, and closed the door hesitantly.

In the hall, Tian Sanqian, the head of the Tian family, was attacking Li Tian, his face was full of anger as if he was on fire, and said to Li Tian: "The marriage between you and me is a good thing, but today there is such a ridiculous thing as divorce in public, do you want to let the juniors mess around and lose the face of you and me, and let the people of the entire Jinyang City see the joke?" Today, no matter what, your Li family must give an explanation, otherwise I will not give up. ”

Since Li Tian was based in Jinyang City, he had suffered such a wretch, but he really didn't know anything about the divorce, and now Tian Sanqian behaved like this, although the Li family was the largest family in Jinyang City, but at this time, he didn't want to refute the face of the Tian family, picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Brother Tian, don't be impatient, Li has just heard about this divorce, there must be a misunderstanding, and how can such a major matter as divorce be decided by the juniors, how about allowing Li to figure out the ins and outs of the matter and then explain it to Brother Tian?" ”

Tian Sanqian saw that Li Tian's attitude was sincere, not like he wanted to do something perfunctory, and besides, the position of the Li family could not allow him to force himself too tightly, so he said: "Since Brother Li only knows about this, then for the time being, I will follow what Brother Li said." ”

Tian Fengxiao and Tian Yong, who were standing beside Tian Sanqian, saw that Li Tian had not yet known about it, so they added fuel and vinegar together to tell Li Tian about the divorce on the street, and in order to get back the losses they suffered today, they actually put all the faults on Li Ke, hoping that Li Tian could rectify Li Ke. After the two finished speaking, they pretended to have aggrieved expressions on their faces.

After listening to the statement of the two, or the performance of the two, Li Tian thought for a while, and said: "What the two virtuous nephews said, I, Li Tian, will find out, if it is really the fault of the little rabbit cub, I will clean him up without your Tian family's greeting." ”

When Tian Fengxiao and Tian Yong heard this, they were overjoyed in their hearts, but they were still chattering about Li Ke's affair in Ciyulou last night.

Li Tian was indifferent on the surface, but he was already angry in his heart, thinking that I Li Tian had been spanning all my life, but today I was forced to enter or retreat in my own home, which was really embarrassing.

"That's it, Brother Tian, I think you will take the two virtuous nephews back first today, and when I figure things out, I will definitely bring that stubborn cub to the door to make amends, what do you think?"

Seeing that the Tian family couldn't get results today, it was not good to be aggressive, Tian Sanqian slowly got up and said to Li Tian: "That's the case, then I will leave first today, but I also hope that Brother Li will give the result as soon as possible, so as not to spread the rumors outside, which is not good for you and me, so I will leave today." ”

After Li Tian watched the three members of the Tian family slowly walk out of the main door, he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground angrily, startling the housekeeper and subordinates on the side, they had followed Li Tian for many years, and they had never seen Li Tian talk to people so calmly, nor had they seen Li Tian so angry.

"Linji! Go and let that little bastard get over for me, I'll have to skin him today. Li Tian shouted angrily at Lin Ji in front of the court.

"Yes, sir." Lin Ji answered, and then rushed towards Li Ke's room like a lost soul.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiru, the housekeeper on the side, stepped forward and said: "Master, since it is such a big event as a divorce, according to the past style of the son, I am afraid that there will be no reason, do you want to let people notify the elders in the family to come over, and discuss the matter in the court, under the pressure of the elders and elders, it is possible for the young master to tell the truth of the matter." ”

"Lao Xu, what you said is not unreasonable, so let's do it, you quickly order your subordinates to quickly inform the elders and elders of the family, go to the hall to discuss matters, even if you can't come, you have to carry them over, and today you will definitely meet the real chapter with this bastard son, and see if he dares to come nonsense in the future." After Li Tian finished speaking, he looked at the sky in the courtyard and sighed.

The subordinates rushed to the courtyards and shops to inform the clansmen. And Lin Ji pushed open Li Ke's door again in a panic, and shouted: "Young master, young master, something is wrong, the master is really angry this time, let you go to him immediately now, I am afraid that you will have to suffer." At this time, Li Ke and Linji did not know that Li Tian had notified the elders of the family.

Seeing this, Li Ke said: "This knife, I have to come early or late, so I will go and make it clear to my father that I will withdraw from this marriage today." So he got up, changed into a clean set of clothes, and walked to the antechamber.

Along the way, Li Ke saw that the people in the family were in a hurry, with a serious expression, and laughed disdainfully: "Isn't it just a fire?" As for scaring the people in the family like this? What Li Ke didn't know was that what was waiting for him would be the familiar and indifferent faces of everyone in the family.

Li Ke has been participating in the scientific examination since six years ago, and he has not been successful, and he is not interested in business, except for his grandfather and Linji, no one in the family has given him a good face, and he has been regarded as a dispensable person in this family for so many years, and many people are like the Natian family, and Li Ke is regarded as a waste.

As soon as he arrived outside the hall, Li Ke could hear the sound of discussion in the hall through the wall, and they were all unanimously opposing Li Ke's divorce, and even said mercilessly: "To put it bluntly, my Li family and the Tian family are married, both for the sake of closer business contacts between the two families, and although the young lady of the Tian family is unreasonable, she is also shrewd in doing business. I dare to withdraw from the marriage today, I really don't know what to do. ”

The whole hall was complaining about Li Ke, only Li Ke's grandfather closed his eyes quietly, sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, stood on a cane in front of him with both hands, and didn't say a word. Li Ke didn't care about the discussion in the hall, and walked into the hall with his head held high. Li Ke's grandfather saw that Li Ke had arrived, so he slowly opened his eyes.

Li Ke first saluted his grandfather and father who were sitting in front of him, and then greeted all the uncles and clan elders present one by one.

Li Tian suddenly shouted angrily: "Li Ke! Kneel down for me, and gather all the elders here today, and I have something to ask you. ”

Everyone looked at Li Tian's expression and looked at each other, and they all thought that this Li Ke was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the family law today.

What is surprising is that Li Ke did not kneel, which made the grandfather who doted on him on weekdays shine, but it also made everyone dumbfounded, and what made people even more shocked was that Li Ke not only did not kneel, but said: "Father, since there is something to ask, I just stand still, and if there is anything to discuss, I will tell you frankly." ”

"Rebel, dare to disobey my will, today you have to kneel, if you don't kneel, you have to kneel." After that, he was about to signal the family to step forward.

"That's it, what Ke'er said is right, it's good to be standing if it's a discussion." Li Ke's grandfather glanced at Li Tian, Li Tian saw his father's gaze, but he didn't continue to embarrass Li Ke.

Without waiting for Li Tian to ask, Li Ke opened his mouth first: "Today, my father summoned all the clan elders here, it should be to talk about my divorce with Tian Fengxiao on the street, right?" ”

"Bastard, you already know it, but you don't tell it yet." Li Tian had a fiery expression.

Li Ke sighed and said: "Since ancient times, although the marriage events are all the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but the guest thinks that she has no fate with this Tian Fengxiao, not to mention her arrogant and domineering, unforgiving reputation and so on, my marriage contract with her is just to facilitate the business exchanges between the two families, and there is no affection between each other, to put it bluntly, this is not a business; Besides, Tian Feng laughed at this person, since she made a marriage contract with me, I heard that she was unclear with many sons, and she also said that she was a waste in front of outsiders. After that, Li Ke recounted what happened in the market in the morning, and Li Tian also heard that this incident was very different from what Tian Fengxiao said.

"Having said that, since your marriage has been decided, how can you easily withdraw from the marriage without authorization, after all, this is related to the face between the Li Tian family." As soon as Li Tian's words fell, the clan elders and uncles in the hall also began to oppose the divorce with one word.

"Father, today's marriage Haier has withdrawn, not to mention that the child has promised in front of everyone this morning that he will never regret it, even if he wants to make the child pay any price today, the child is willing to accept it, but Tian Feng laughed at this person, and he will never be able to become the child's daughter-in-law in this life."

Seeing that Li Ke was so resolute, Li Tian stood up angrily, walked up to Li Ke and scolded angrily: "Okay, it seems that you don't know your own catty, and today I will let you know the fate of disobeying me." ”

"Come on, the family law will serve!" I saw Li Tian call someone to take a rattan full of spikes from the ancestral hall and greet Li Ke.

"Stop! I'm still here! I heard that you made a fuss for a while, although it was at fault for the guest to withdraw from the marriage without permission and not discuss it with the family, but what he said was not unreasonable, Tian Fengxiao I have also heard of this person, it is not much different from what the guest said, I see that the Tian family will retire after the family affairs are retired, and it is a big deal that my old man personally went to the Tian family to make amends. Li Ke's grandfather glanced at everyone in the hall as he spoke, and when everyone saw this, no one dared to make a sound.

Li Tian put down the rattan in his hand, turned around and said: "Father, you can't be so used to this bastard, today this matter will be decided by the son, you should leave it alone, otherwise this bastard thing will have to cause some trouble in the future." ”

Seeing Li Tian's clear attitude, everyone echoed: "Yes, old man, this bastard dares to withdraw from the marriage on the street today, he doesn't know what more outrageous things he will do in the future, so let the head of the family deal with it, so as to teach this bastard a lesson." ”

Li Ke saw that his grandfather was embarrassed under the support of everyone, and stood up and said: "Grandpa, today's matter is the cause of the grandson, and any result of the grandson is to suffer, please grandfather don't hurt his mind." ”

Seeing Li Ke's resolute attitude, Li Tian looked at the old man again and said: "Since this is the case, then ask all the clan elders to vote together, and whether or not to agree to withdraw from the marriage is still up to the clan elders to decide." ”

Li Tian is cunning, knowing that all the clan elders will not agree to withdraw from the marriage. Sure enough, the elders of all the clans expressed their attitudes one by one, and none of them agreed to withdraw from the marriage, and they also had the bad idea of asking Li Tian to take Li Ke to Tian's house to make amends and resume the marriage contract.

"That being the case, the matter is settled, and tomorrow you bastard will go to the Tian family with me to make amends and resume the marriage contract." Li Tian's attitude eased slightly, and said to Li Ke.

"Father, I don't agree, although the elders of the clan have expressed their position, but I haven't expressed my position, it is my marriage contract that is not theirs, the child knows that this is related to the interests of the two families, but the marriage child is resolutely not restored, and it is impossible to make amends." Li Keyi responded to Li Tian rhetorically.

Li Tian was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and slapped Li Ke in the face: "Bastard, I didn't clean you up today and gave you enough face, but you are so uninteresting, what have you done for my Li family over the years, and what is the difference between you and the waste that others say?" ”

"That's right, I haven't done anything for the Li family, I'm a waste, but my life should be controlled by myself, no one can say it, this is the attitude of a child."

"It's the other way around, since the words have come to this point, and the elders of all the clans are also there, I, Li Tian, are here today to make it clear that this marriage cannot be withdrawn, unless Li Ke is not my Li family and has severed relations with my Li family, otherwise, the marriage contract must be resumed."

"Father really wants to be so ruthless?" Li Ke's voice trembled slightly at this time.

"Yes, my Li family is going to contribute to the Li family, what is ruthless."

Li Ke looked at everyone in the hall, extremely disappointed, looking at himself with indifferent eyes, everyone regarded him as a waste, and then recalled the humiliation he had suffered over the years, Li Ke suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha...., you so-called famous gentlemen, just a group of villains who deceive me, today, I Li Ke will leave the Li family, the vast world, my own side, from then on, I have nothing to do with the Li family." ”

Everyone was stunned when they saw Li Ke like this, but the usually gentle and elegant son is unusual, weird and weird!

Li Tian was also unprepared, thinking that Li Ke would give in, but he didn't think about it, but he was out of control, but the words had already been spoken, and in front of everyone, he said, "Can you think about it?" If you leave the Li family, you won't get anything but yourself. ”

Li Ke smiled coldly: "So, what's the attachment?" ”

Li Tian was even more annoyed at this time: "Okay, you are an unfilial son, since this is the case, don't come back when you leave the door of my Li family." ”

Li Ke stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed in front of his grandfather, got up and walked to Li Tian and knelt down and kowtowed, without saying a word, it was regarded as a final farewell to the Li family.

After getting up, Li Ke laughed out loud again: "Hahahaha.... Sure enough, without the family's chains, my body was a lot easier. Then he went straight to the door, and as he went, he said in a loud voice:

Look up to the sky and go out with a long smile,

From now on, there will be an idler in the world.

Live up to your youth and youth,

It has its own green pine cloud cypress deep.

In the stunned faces of everyone, Li Ke walked out in a dashing manner. The next day, Li Tian announced in Jinyang City that he had severed relations with Li Ke and expelled Li Ke from the house, and also announced that the Li family's family business was officially managed by Li Ke's sister Li Qingyuan, and the marriage contract with the Tian family was also annulled.
