Chapter Ninety-Three: The Forced Marriage Contract
After Situ Chen said this sentence with a weak heart, he realized that he had been trapped by Situ Jie, and he jumped in hard.
"If that's the case, father, what's going on?" Situ Jie asked.
How can you not be concerned about your life's events?
Once she only knew one micro-student, she couldn't comment on everything about the latter. But since he went to the Liuyun Sect and met many people, he found that his original world was so small.
To put it in his heart, Wei Sheng saw Ning's flaws and narrow-minded character, compared to the rest of the Liuyun Sect, he was difficult to match.
Especially compared with Shen Shifang, his moral character and outlook on life in his heart are simply out of reach.
Although these words were not spoken, they would not hurt Wei Shengjianning. There may also be suspicions of belonging, but this is an indisputable fact.
At the same time, Situ Jie faced up to her position and lived up to her original intention.
On the other hand, Situ Chen, he didn't answer directly, just that kind of regretful look and remorse, which couldn't hide Situ Jie's eyes.
The latter continued: "You know that I am good, and I used to think that everything in the world can be forgiven, including doing evil. It wasn't until later that someone told me: tears must be shed for those who deserve it, otherwise they will be a raccoon dog. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Situ Chen asked.
I thought to myself, who could change Situ Jie, and let the latter change a different person.
The young man?
Situ Jie glanced at her father in disappointment, and she said: "Let's talk about the Lack of Moon Sect first, helping the Emperor to abuse, and secretly helping the Dongqian Empire to kill the children born in the year of the Great Era, this is one of them.
Bringing people to persuade the Liuyun Sect to return to the East is not successful, and Weisheng Haotian seriously injured today's Liyang, which is a loss of the demeanor of a strong man, this is the second.
After Li'en was seriously injured by his younger brother, after defeating the Liuyun Sect, in order to retaliate, he asked Lihuoling to attack the people of the Liuyun Sect who entered the palace to meet the lord of the country, which was the third. ”
"What are you talking about?Is it Wei Sheng Haotian's idea to attack you from the Fire Tomb?" Situ Chen was furious when he heard this, didn't he know that Situ Jie was also among them?
But he automatically ignored one thing, the assassination of the son of reincarnation, Situ Jie already knew.
He cared too much about Situ Jie's safety, otherwise how could he send someone to attack Lihuo Mausoleum?
"That's right, who else but them? Their behavior, if it were me before, would have tolerated. But now, I feel very disappointed. A decisive look appeared on Situ Jiejiao's face.
Situ Chen gritted his teeth, the anger on his body rose, and he slammed it on the tea table, and he said, "If it's really them, I will definitely find an explanation." ”
Situ Jie was a little more relieved at this time, and he was most afraid that his father would be stubborn, and he would not be able to take his words at that time.
"Father, if it weren't for the grace to save you, I'm afraid what you see today is not Situ Jie, who is here to find your answer, but a corpse. Please tell me about the engagement that year, I want to make my own decision. ”
"Well, if you insist on knowing, I'll tell you. It was your grandfather who made your engagement. At that time, in order to let the Treasure Casting Garden enter the Dongqian Empire, he took more than a dozen entourages to the Son of Heaven to meet with the former lord of the Dongqian Empire to discuss cooperation.
When everything was negotiated, the lord of Dongqian didn't know how to learn that you were still in the womb, so he proposed that the Missing Moon Sect, who was also present at the time, marry together.
In fact, everyone can see that Dong Qian's plan is to tie the Treasure Casting Garden to Dong Qian's chariot.
Your grandfather decisively refused, because he didn't know whether you were a man or a woman at the time, and he saw through their little schemes.
So the Dongqian Empire said that if it was a man, let their royal women marry, and if it was a woman, they would marry the lack of Yuezong.
He was about to refuse, but they threatened the lives of thousands of people in the Treasure Forge and your grandfather to force him to make a marriage contract.
And we can't be untrustworthy, otherwise we won't be able to survive on the Qiting continent at all. Our Situ family doesn't care, but the lives of those people under the Treasure Casting Garden have to be taken care of.
Eventually, your grandfather was depressed because of this, and you were born. ”
Situ Chen was a little helpless, but he was also out of luck, and then felt that Wei Sheng Jianning was not bad, but he didn't object again.
After saying all this, Situ Jie finally learned the reason for his marriage contract.
She didn't blame her grandfather, let alone Situ Chen, because they were all for the safety of so many people in the Treasure Casting Garden.
But she has to control the major affairs of her own life, and she said, "Father, I understand you. However, do you understand me? Wei Sheng saw that Ning was narrow-minded and reckless, and he was not at all a candidate for my future husband. I thought about it, I only had a childhood affection for him. ”
After Situ Jie finished speaking, she was already in tears. Originally, she no longer cared about how many times he was looking for trouble from others, but this attack made her feel cold.
Those friendships were finally broken by time.
Although Situ Chen agreed with his daughter's words, he couldn't do it. If the marriage contract is violated, I am afraid that the lives of more than 200 people in the Dongqian Empire will be difficult to protect.
Under the dilemma between the two sides, Situ Chen weighed the pros and cons, and he said: "No! I have decided, you are not allowed to return to the Cloud Sect, stay at home, and you are not allowed to go out for half a step until the day you get married." ”
After speaking, he left quickly, and when Situ Jie couldn't see it, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs.
Hua Xiangting sighed, walked to Situ Jie's side lovingly, wiped her tears, and said, "Jie'er, your father is forced to do so, don't blame him." Perhaps, if you get along with Weisheng Jianning again, you may find that it is not the same. ”
Situ Jie pouted and left without saying a word, believing in his heart that his father was pushing himself into the fire pit.
But she also knew Situ Chen's embarrassment, after all, hundreds of lives were not for fun.
But you can't ruin your life because of this! There will always be a way. She didn't want to marry into a family with no kindness and let herself hate her for the rest of her life.
"If you were here, you'd definitely tell me how to do it. Situ Jie said secretly.
At this time, she still thought of Shen Shifang, a wise boy who made people feel safe.
But Shen Shifang didn't know about these things.
Bidding farewell to Han Immortal, leaving Zhu Yi and Nian Gao, the two brothers wandered leisurely on the streets of Zhuxincheng.
After passing through the market, the two of them simply bought some things and went back to have a good meal with Mrs. Yang.
When the two of them were carrying large bags and small bags of things and preparing to go back, one of them bumped into Xiao Yang's body, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry, I'm really sorry. ”
This person hurriedly helped Xiao Yang up, and kept apologizing on his lips.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the person is still unintentional, so Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”
Shen Shifang looked at this person, wearing clothes full of patches, with strong eyebrows, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge, which looked like the appearance of a native of Xiyun Country.
"Since it's okay, I'll take my leave first and apologize again. ”
After the man finished speaking, he walked away in a hurry, sometimes looking back.
"This man is so strange. No, it can't be a thief, right?" Xiao Yang muttered before checking his belongings.
This item, of course, is gold and silver.
"It's still there, but luckily it's not a thief. Xiao Yang looked at the belongings in his hand with a smirk.
"Don't think about it, people may be avoiding those people. Shen Shifang gestured with his chin to the direction on the other side, and a group of six people was running over.
Shen Shifang watched them pass by him, carefully watching their costumes, they were not from the Shura Palace, so he let down his guard and went home with Xiao Yang.
Three days later
Shen Shifang has been by Mrs. Yang's side with Xiao Yang for the past few days, and has experienced the feeling of home.
And now, they have already arrived at the gate of the Treasure Casting Garden in a carriage, and they only need to wait for Situ Jie to set off to go back to Liuyun Sect.
"I've seen you, I'm here to pick up Miss Situ and go back, and I'm tired of informing you. Shen Shifang came to the guard and said.
And this guard is none other than the one he saw a few days ago, and he said: "I'm really sorry, the owner of the garden has an order to say that when he sees you coming, he will let you go back by yourself, and you don't have to wait for the eldest lady." ”
This attitude has really changed a lot.
Shen Shifang's brows furrowed, why was it so sudden? Didn't he say that he would go back together today? Could it be that the Treasure Casting Garden sent someone to escort him?
Without thinking about anything else, Shen Shifang nodded and turned around and walked towards the carriage.
"Excuse me, can you please see Miss Situ so that I can say goodbye, otherwise I will think that I will say goodbye. Shen Shifang stopped and looked back at the guards.
"I'm sorry again, the owner of the garden has an order, and you can't ask to see anyone without an invitation. ”
Shen Shifang glanced at the Treasure Casting Garden questioningly and walked over with a smile.
"Leave Big Brother, please stay. ”
Shen Shifang looked back and saw Xiao Yu running out of breath, he said, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?
"Big brother, Miss knows that you are coming back to pick her up today, so she asked me to wait. Fortunately, I caught up, otherwise I wouldn't have been saved. Xiao Yu said with a sigh of relief.
When the words came out, Shen Shifang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked, "No help, what's wrong with Miss Situ?"
Xiao Yu knew that Shen Shifang had misunderstood, thinking that Situ Jie was worried about her life, she said: "Miss, she's fine, but she was grounded by the owner of the garden, and she was not allowed to go back to Liuyun Sect, let alone go out for half a step." ”
Shen Shifang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why?"
"Because of the marriage contract, the young lady knows that Wei Sheng Jianning is a person, and wants the owner of the garden to withdraw from the marriage. But the owner of the garden disagreed, so he was grounded. Xiao Yu said.
Shen Shifang didn't seem to care about Situ Jie's private affairs, but he knew the latter's mind very well, and knew that she had seen clearly the character of the Missing Moon Sect and Weisheng Jianning.
Moreover, she may have also sorted out her relationship with Wei Sheng Jianning.
But Shen Shi is powerless about such a thing! After all, it is a family affair of other people, and there are mediators who say that their parents are killed. If you want to meddle in affairs, you can't say anything.
So he said, "In that case, then Lien will go back first and bid farewell to Miss Situ for me." ”
Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted: "Miss said that you will have a way, she wants to go back to Liuyun Sect, please help Miss." ”
"But... What can I do? This is your housework, and it is not convenient for me to interfere. Shen Shifang said helplessly.
"Brother Li, do you have a countermeasure in your heart?" Xiao Yu felt that there was a way to convey the meaning outside Shen Shi's dialect, but he felt that outsiders should not interfere.
Shen Shifang shook his head and smiled bitterly, he said, "Not now, but even if there is, how can I break through the defenses of the Treasure Casting Garden, snatch out Miss Situ in the hands of the master of Situ Garden, and make their father and daughter make enemies?"
"The young lady said that you were her friend, and knew that you would definitely help her. Only you have the ability. Xiao Yu had no choice but to sacrifice a killer weapon and convey Situ Jie's intentions.
This trick also belongs to bringing a high hat to Shen Shifang.
But in the face of Situ Jie's trust and dependence, he couldn't refuse. "In that case," he said, "I'll try." ”
