Chapter 124: Divorce
Li Mu looked at those people standing at the gate of Lai Yunjun's courtyard like guards, and those people also looked at Li Mu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ However, they didn't think about blocking it, and Li Mu walked away from the small courtyard with doubts.
In the small courtyard, there are a lot of people. In addition to Lai Yunjun, Shen Li, and Leng Zizhou, there was also a guest. This guest was a woman, several years younger than Lai Yunjun, and she looked about the same age as Shen Li.
Of course, the chest is much bigger than Shen Li.
The girl was also well dressed, light and satin, and cut into a garment. A long skirt seems to be custom-made, and it flatters the curves obediently. The jasper hairpin on the bun looks like the best jade. Not to mention the big pearl hanging from the tail of the hairpin.
All in all, the first time Li Mu saw this girl, he knew that this girl must be rich. If you add the slaves waiting outside the courtyard, then Li Mu's evaluation of this girl's wealth has to be added to the powerful one.
This rich and powerful girl is still beautiful, which is very annoying. At least when Shen Li stood in the courtyard, he felt that he was a head shorter for no reason.
Li Mu glanced at Leng Zizhou who was pestle in the courtyard, and then at Shen Li, who was probing his brain at the door. He walked over and patted Shen Li from behind.
"Ouch!" Shen Li was startled, in fact she did jump.
This voice was not small, and Lai Yunjun and the girl in the main hall all looked out of the door. Li Mu lowered his head and said sorry, then pulled Shen Li to the side and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing!" Shen Li blamed Li Mulai instead.
Li Mu pointed inside, lowered his voice and asked, "People are meeting guests, what are you doing sneakily here?"
"What kind of guest will it be, it's not the guest who comes. Shen Li had a strange expression on her face.
"It's not a guest, it's looking for trouble? I saw Leng Zizhou standing in the courtyard. Li Mu nodded Leng Zizhou.
"It's not counting, but Brother Lai is in some trouble. Shen Li leaned through the window and secretly looked inside.
Li Mu also squatted down like her, and then continued to ask, "What the hell is going on?"
Probably because of the nature of a woman that came into play, Shen Li raised her eyebrows, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Have you seen that beautiful sister?" Her name is Zhuang Xiaozi, and she has had a marriage contract with Brother Lai since she was a child. In other words, she is Brother Lai's fiancΓ©e. β
"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, Lai Yunjun was already over the age of weak crown, which is also a very normal thing. At the time, it seemed that maybe it was too late to get married after the weak crown. "So they're talking about the wedding?"
Shen Li pointed outside the door, then pointed inside, and said, "Have you ever seen such a big battle to discuss things?" If it weren't for Leng Zizhou here today, maybe you would really see some blood." β
"Ahh
"There's nothing to say, Miss Zhuang is not here to talk about marriage today, people are here to withdraw from marriage!" Shen Li said solemnly.
Li Mu was also taken aback, "Divorce?"
"yes. Shen Li nodded, and then suddenly found that Li Mu's face became very strange, so he asked, "I said, what kind of expression are you?"
Li Mu said with a stiff expression that seemed to be smiling: "Fortunately, Lao Bei doesn't plan to write a routine essay, otherwise such an unlucky thing as divorce may be spread on my head in the first few chapters of this book." That's going to be miserable. β
Shen Li glanced at him and said, "Brother Lai is already miserable enough, you are still talking cool here." β
Li Mu laughed, silenced his voice, and concentrated on observing the situation in the main hall.
Lai Yunjun still looked like a humble scholar, he sat at the table, and opposite him was Zhuang Xiaozi in Shen Li's mouth. However, unlike Lai Yunjun, Zhuang Yunzi is violent.
"It's come to this point, and I don't care if others hear it or not. Anyway, I've had enough of this marriage contract, and even if my grandfather gets angry afterwards, I won't care. Zhuang Xiaozi stared at Lai Yunjun with a pair of good-looking eyes, but in these eyes, there was no tenderness for his future husband.
Lai Yunjun sighed and said, "Lu Zi, I don't want to do this either. It's not impossible to dissolve the marriage, but ......"
"But what? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! Whether it's money or a maid, I'll give you whatever I can. Zhuang Xiaozi hurriedly said.
When Li Mu outside the window heard this, he also pouted secretly, "This woman has such a big temper." After finishing speaking, he was stabbed by Shen Li on the elbow, "Shut up and keep reading." β
"I don't want anything, your family has helped me enough. As I said before, this marriage contract was made between my grandfather and Grandpa Zhuang. After something like this happened in my family, I proposed to dissolve the marriage at that time, but Grandpa Zhuang did not agree. Later, I also found an opportunity to mention it, but Grandpa Zhuang's health is getting worse and worse, and he said that his greatest wish is to be able to see the younger generations of our two families together before he dies, so I have no choice but to drag it first. Lai Yunjun said.
Zhuang Xiaozi waved his hand and said, "Don't care about him, it's because of his stubbornness that I can't be with Brother Hu until now." Now Brother Hu is going to be forced to take other women, how can I watch him marry another woman!"
She let out a breath and continued, "I believe that as long as you stand firm, my grandfather will not blame you. He just feels indebted to your family, but I don't think so. Even if it is indebted, she does not have to pay it back with her granddaughter's life. β
At the end, she also added, "We owe you a lot, I think it's enough." Brother Yun, what do you say?"
Rao is Lai Yunjun has a good temper, and his face changed slightly when he heard this.
Zhuang Xiaozi didn't feel anything, maybe she just wanted to provoke Lai Yunjun. "I came today, and I was forced to be helpless. I don't want to be bound by that marriage contract for the rest of my life. Although you and I are childhood sweethearts, I don't like you. What I like is a hero, not a down-and-out scholar. β
"It's excessive. Shen Li listened outside the window, and was furious. In the past two days, Shen Li has been taken care of by Lai Yunjun, and she is naturally on Lai Yunjun's side.
Lai Yunjun sat there, his head down, but his hands were suddenly clenched. After a long time, Lai Yunjun said with a hint of weakness: "Tomorrow, I will go to the house to visit Grandpa Zhuang." β
The meaning of his words, Zhuang Xiaozi naturally understood in his heart. She smiled when she heard this, "Brother Yun, then I'll thank you first." Still, please hurry, I can't afford to wait. After speaking, she didn't need Lai Yunjun to order soup to send guests, she stood up and walked out the door.
Outside the door, Shen Li and Li Mu stood by the door. Shen Li's eyes were full of hostility, and he looked at Zhuang Xiaozi coldly. But Zhuang Xiaozi didn't care, she sneered and left without looking back.
Seeing her leave, Leng Zizhou also put away her gun. Li Mu and Shen Li walked in the main hall and saw that Lai Yunjun was still sitting there. Seeing the two of them come in, he raised his head and smiled.
"Brother Lai, don't pay attention to her. She doesn't deserve a good person like you. Shen Li said angrily.
Lai Yunjun shook his head, "I didn't mean to marry her." β
Li Mu was puzzled: "Then why ......?"
"Why don't you break the marriage contract and be okay?" Lai Yunjun seemed to guess what Li Mu was going to say.
"Yes. Shen Li nodded vigorously on the side, "That's it, she's so angry." β
Shen Li's words made Lai Yunjun smile, "It's okay, she's been like this since she was a child." He stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down, and beckoned to Leng Zizhou outside the door. Leng Zizhou paused, but still walked in.
The three of them sat down, Lai Yunjun poured a cup of tea for all three of them, and then said, "Since you all heard it, then I won't hide it from you." This is my business. Thank you for today. Especially Xiao Leng, thank you. β
Facing Lai Yunjun's thanks, Leng Zizhou waved his hand and said, "No." Facing Lai Yunjun, Leng Zizhou's face also eased a lot.
Lai Yunjun took a sip of tea, and then began to talk about it.
Lai Yunjun's ancestors were good friends with Zhuang Yunzi's Zhuang family, especially in Lai Yunjun's grandfather's generation, his grandfather and Zhuang Yunzi's grandfather were like brothers. It just so happened that the daughters-in-law of the two Lai Zhuang families were pregnant at about the same time, so when Lai Yunjun and Zhuang Xiaozi were born, the two grandfathers made a marriage contract. The two parties to the marriage contract are the grandchildren of the two families, that is, Lai Yunjun and Zhuang Xiaozi.
The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Lai Yunjun likes to be quiet and likes to read books since he was a child; Zhuang Xiaozi is lively and active. This stillness and movement complement each other. Just when the two families were living peacefully, the misfortune of the Lai family befell him. First, Lai Yunjun's grandfather died of old age, and then Lai Yunjun's parents died. Only a young Lai Yunjun was left.
However, fortunately, with the care of the banker, although Lai Yunjun has become an orphan, he will not be left on the street and left unattended. Probably because the dealer did good deeds, the business prospered, and the family wealth began to accumulate. By now, the dealer is also a wealthy family in Yacheng.
Under the care of the banker, Lai Yunjun read and wrote. After that, he participated in the imperial examination, but he unexpectedly lost his name to Sun Shan. This stimulated Lai Yunjun, originally the grandfather of the Zhuang family was going to prepare a wedding for Lai Yunjun and Zhuang Xiaozi, but Lai Yunjun said that he would wait until he won the fame before talking about life events.
This delay, the delay happened. Zhuang Xiaozi gradually grew up and had his own ideas. She met Xu Hu, a young man who came to Yacheng to roam the city. Then, at first sight, Xu Hu was also affectionate to Zhuang Xiaozi, and the relationship between the two developed rapidly.
After that, Xu Hu went to the dealer's house to ask for marriage, but he was kicked out. Just because Zhuang Xiaozi and Lai Yunjun have a marriage contract, the dealer does not agree to this matter. Zhuang Xiaozi was so angry that he made a lot of noise, but he couldn't do anything about his grandfather.
Her grandfather, who was very old, was so angry at this incident that he fell ill. Knowing that his days were numbered, he wanted to bring about the marriage before he died. But Zhuang Xiaozi was unwilling, so she identified Xu Hu.
Lai Yunjun knew that he had dragged Zhuang Xiaozi down, so he did not object to the dissolution of the marriage contract. It's just that his proposal was also stubbornly opposed by the old man. He was soft-hearted and didn't want the old man to be stimulated anymore, so he kept dragging it out.
And Zhuang Xiaozi didn't seem to be able to wait, so he came to the door again. So we have what we are today.
