Chapter 18: Divorce Turmoil

"Oh, don't Miss Ben Gongzi really understand what she means? People often say that everyone loves beauty, and even a hundred flowers compete for beauty, so how can Ben Gongzi not love beauty!" When Xia Lang said this, he deliberately lengthened his tone and lengthened his voice, and his eyes did not forget to look at Pang Ruyan, just to see how this young lady reacted.

Pang Ruyan is smart in the end, and she heard the clue in a word, and her face rose with anger.

Most of the children of Kyoto nobles are stubborn and irreverent, and they love to be romantic, she thought that Xia Lang was different from them, she believed in her judgment when she first met, but she didn't expect that Xia Lang was no different from them, they were all masters who only loved beauty. At that moment, Pang Ruyan's heart was sour, and she only blamed herself for not being able to recognize people clearly. But having said that, Pang Ruyan didn't want to show weakness, let alone lose the demeanor of the dignified concubine of Shangshufu, "I didn't expect that Xia Gongzi is a layman who only loves beauty, heh, Xia Gongzi, I, Pang Ruyan, really misjudged you." ”

Now that the topic has been pulled out, Xia Lang has no reason to retreat at the moment, "Whether it's a mistake or a misunderstanding, to tell you the truth, this son only likes beautiful things and people, as for you, Miss, this son really can't appreciate it." ”

Since he has come to Shangshu Mansion, Xia Lang doesn't want to hide anything, he is the son of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, how can he be willing to be with an ugly girl in the next life, and he is not afraid of tearing his face and offending Shangshu Mansion. Xia Lang did not hide the disgust in his eyes, and said directly with sharp words at the moment, "When Miss was first sick, my son was full of anxiety and looked for a famous doctor for you, hoping that Miss could recover as soon as possible, but I didn't expect Miss to suffer from a strange disease that could not be cured, and her appearance was damaged, so it is no wonder that my son was in danger." Ben Gongzi doesn't want to face an unbeautiful person for the rest of his life. ”

Xia Lang's words were clearly laughing at his ugly appearance and not liking him. As the daughter of the dignified Shangshu Mansion, she was once known as the first beauty in Kyoto, and she was both talented and beautiful, how could she endure the humiliation of others and let others come to withdraw from her relatives. And the little hope that I had in my heart was also lost in an instant. She looked at Xia Lang's mocking face, and said calmly, "I Pang Ruyan misjudged you, Xia Gongzi, the marriage contract between the two of us is null and void!" Pang Ruyan looked straight at her, Xia Lang's eyes bloomed with joy when she heard her say to withdraw from her family, even so, Pang Ruyan still wanted to save her last face and self-esteem, and said in an accentuated voice,

"Remember, it's Miss Ben who quits, not you. At the beginning, it was you who asked for marriage, and now I am withdrawing, and we don't owe each other. ”

Hmph, it doesn't matter who he is withdrawing, as long as he can push the retiring relatives out of the marriage and stay away from this ugly girl. "It's so good, Miss Pang is really a smart person, just a little bit of it. Sharan snorted softly, grinning lightly. The purpose of coming here today has been achieved, he doesn't want to stay at all, let alone look at the person in front of him again, he arched his hand and said "farewell" and left directly, leaving Pang Ruyan behind him standing silently in the garden.

Xia Lang walked straight to the gate when he got out of the back garden, and when Zhu'er, who was guarding outside the back garden, saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Childe, why are you leaving so soon today?"

In the past, when Xia Lang came to the mansion, he always wanted to stay in the mansion more, often the eldest lady signaled that she was tired, and Xia Lang just left, but now she is so anxious, Xiao Ju naturally wants to ask a few more words, how can she know what happened in the garden just now.

And Xia Lang only wanted to leave here quickly, where was he in the mood to pay attention to the little maid, he didn't even look at it, he left in stride, and the little maid in the prime minister's mansion followed him and left.

Looking at Xia Gongzi's expression, it was clear that something was wrong, and he had only gone in to talk for a while, why did he come out, Zhu'er had a bad premonition, and hurriedly ran to the back garden, only to see the young lady squatting in front of the flower garden, looking gloomy.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the slave maid, did Xia Gongzi say something bad to you? Miss, tell the slave maid quickly. ”

Pang Ruyan glanced at the flower clusters around her, and slowly spoke, "I actually misjudged him, what is the son of the prime minister, what is love at first sight, what is admiring my talent, only marrying me in this life, all lies and deception." He's nothing at all, all he loves is a pair of skins, and my identity, he's the same as all the sons and brothers in Kyoto. ”

In front of the personal maid, Pang Ruyan took off all the guards and disguises of Fang Cai, and spit out all the grief in her heart, but she seemed to be talking to herself, looking in a trance.

"Do you know what he said in the garden just now? He actually used flowers to mock me for my ugly appearance, saying that he could not bear it, that he was not worthy of him, and that he wanted to withdraw from me! Suffering the blow of retreating, Pang Ruyan's voice became a little hoarse, and the whole person was also very fragile, completely lacking the tenacity that she had just faced Xia Lang who pretended to be strong.

"It's so hateful, how can I do this to you, Miss, the slave went to settle accounts with him!"

"Don't, when you come back, after all, my appearance has changed, why bother to humiliate myself again, I don't want it, don't want it. In the end, Pang Ruyan couldn't cry all over, and her body was about to kneel on the ground, but it was still Zhu'er who was holding on to her side, so that her body could barely stabilize.

"Since his illness, he has not been able to come to visit, and I have actually thought of this possibility in my heart, but I am still lying to myself that he may be too busy with trivial matters to take care of and will definitely come. Now he really came, but he was humiliated again and again, and he wanted to quit his marriage with me. Zhu'er, I'm so sad, my heart hurts. ”

Pang Ruyan's face was full of disappointment and sadness, and the maid Zhu'er on the side looked full of distress, holding the young lady's hand directly, wanting to give her some strength, "The slave knows, miss, don't do this, it is he who has lost you, and it is his fault first." ”

"Whose fault it is. It's really ridiculous to think that my dignified daughter of Shangshu Mansion actually fell into this step, was humiliated by her fiancΓ© and quit her family, and became a street jokeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Pang Ruyan's face was red and white, and the application between her eyebrows and eyes became complicated, and in the end, her tone changed from low to mocking and cold. At that moment, Pang Ruyan no longer looked like the talented girl of the past, but looked like she was injured, which made people feel pity.

And Zhu'er has been following Miss for a long time, and she has noticed a trace of clarity and determination in Miss Miss's tone and deep eyes. "Miss, don't be sad, don't be sad, let's just don't want him, let the master choose a good one for you, he is not worthy of you. Miss, you are the most famous talented woman in Kyoto, how many sons have stepped through the threshold to advance, Miss, let's pick another husband. ”

It's okay not to say this, but Pang Ruyan's face turned even paler, and Zhu'er also realized that she had said the wrong thing after seeing Miss's affection, so she hurriedly stopped talking.

Think about following Miss for so many years, her own Miss Pang Ruyan has always been a talented and talented person, and she has been praised by Kyoto people, how could she have been so humiliated, and now she has fallen heavily from the pride of the sky to the ground, how big the gap in Miss's heart should be, and whether she can bear it. And now that her appearance and figure have changed, Miss was suddenly humiliated and retired, how can she bear this humiliation.

Zhu'er was also very sad in her heart, she couldn't help but secretly wiped her tears, wanted to say something but choked for a while, and didn't know how to comfort Miss's fragile heart, so she had to hold Miss's fragile body on one side, and pull her arm with the other hand, trying to give Miss a little strength and comfort.

As Pang Ruyan's personal maid, Zhu'er can be said to be conscientious, and she is also a caring note for Pang Ruyan. Since the young lady was humiliated and retired in the back garden during the day, Zhu'er has been with the young lady, almost an inch away, and the young lady is sad for a while, and then returns to normal, as if nothing happened, should eat and drink, and still enjoy the flowers and feed the fish in the back garden, looking leisurely.

When Pang Shangshu came back from going out and learned about the resignation, his face turned red with anger, and he wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to theorize, but Pang Ruyan immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Why stop my father, my precious daughter has been humiliated, father is in charge of you, I will go to the prime minister to theorize. ”

"No, father, you don't have to go. Pang Ruyan made a loud noise, pulled her father's sleeve, and stopped her father.

"Ru Yan, are you worried about your father? rest assured, although he is the prime minister and the official is at the first level, my father has a stable foundation in the court for many years. Originally, it was his son who asked for marriage, but I saw the sincerity of their family to marry you to Na Sharon, who knew that he was so unkind and unkind, so that you were so aggrieved. Hmph, bastard boy, father will settle accounts for you to find him!" Pang Shangshu became more and more angry the more he spoke, his baby daughter was angry, how could he not stand up for her.

"No, father, the daughter doesn't blame him at all, but she wants to thank him!"

"Thank you, Ru Yan, you won't be confused, right?" Pang Shangshu looked at Ru Yan in surprise, for fear that his daughter would be stimulated.

Pang Ruyun on the side also opened her mouth and agreed, "Yes, sister, you don't have to worry, my father will definitely make the decision for you." They Shangshufu humiliated their sister like this, how could their sister let them go. ”

Pang Ruyun bit the word "humiliation" very hard, as a younger sister, she never wanted to see her sister being bullied. And Pang Shangshu on the side was very relieved to see the second daughter protecting the eldest sister, and it also increased his heart to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek justice. At that moment, he said to Ru Yan, "Yan'er, my father is going to him, don't worry, my father will get justice for you!"

"Father, listen to your daughter. Pang Ruyan stepped forward, stood sideways beside her father, and said steadily, "Father, why shouldn't my daughter be angry after being humiliated this time." It's just that my father asked you not to go to him, and you don't have to judge me, it was the daughter who took the initiative to withdraw from her family. ”

"What, it turned out to be your retreat?" At first glance, when he heard his eldest daughter's words, Pang Shangshu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he immediately understood, and his eyes darkened, "Is it that Xia Lang spoke ugly and forced you to withdraw from your family?"

Her father's concern was very warm to Ru Yan, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said indifferently, "Yes, but it's not." ”

Pang Shangshu still didn't understand this, and glanced at Ru Yan hesitantly, Ru Yan just nodded, and the turmoil between her eyebrows flowed, faintly covered with a layer of mist, "Father, you really don't have to go to him." If it weren't for this illness, how would the daughter know that the original prince of the dignified prime minister was just a person who coveted beauty, fortunately his daughter did not marry him, otherwise he would not be happy in the future. Second, his daughter also has to thank him, he told the truth frankly at this time, even if he didn't like it, even if he was unbearable, instead of waiting until after marriage. If it was by then, he must have been extremely disgusted with his daughter, how should you let her daughter deal with herself, then her daughter will really have no way out. And now, the daughter can still withdraw from her family, and there is still room for choice, so that she will not be ridiculed by the world. ”

Pang Ruyan said the pain in her heart in a few words, "Father, my daughter really doesn't blame Xia Lang at all, besides, this is the first time I proposed to withdraw from my family, I don't want to marry Xia Lang, don't marry someone who only loves skin." ”

"I didn't expect him to be such a person, my father really misjudged him before. Yan'er, have you really decided?" Pang Shangshu looked at Pang Ruyan's eyes, wanting to see the difference.

Pang Ruyan looked at him, with a bit of firmness in her eyes, with a rare perseverance and courage in her daughter's family, "My daughter has already decided, since he has no love, why should I step into this marriage that is already doomed to be unhappy." ”

"Okay, since you have made a decision, your father will not be reluctant, it doesn't matter if such a negative person does not marry, my father will go back and find a better family for you, and I must make my baby daughter happy. ”

"Besides, my daughter doesn't want to get married for the time being, so just stay in the house and accompany her father. ”

"How can that work, how can my father let my daughter be alone, rest assured, my daughter is so beautiful and talented, why worry about not finding a wishful man, father will pay attention to it for you." ”

Pang Ruyan naturally knew her father's thoughts, and although she was sad, she was left to him. But in her heart, she couldn't be as peaceful as she seemed, so she hurriedly said a few more words to her father and went back to the boudoir.
