Chapter 117, the Li family
The Li family in Longcheng is a behemoth in the eyes of ordinary people, and even many monks are looking forward to befriending the Li family.
Xu Ming had also heard of the Li family's name, and wondered if it was possible to pay a visit. However, fate is unpredictable, who would have thought that the first time he entered the door of the Li family, it turned out to be as a "quasi-in-law", and if his purpose was stated, it was likely that he would not be able to get out of this gate.
Although he boasted about Haikou in front of Yun Xixue and made a package ticket, the moment he entered the gate of the Li family, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his calves almost cramped.
"Hey, cousin, why don't you leave?" Yun Xixue, who was following behind, saw Xu Ming stop and asked in a low voice, "You won't be afraid, will you?"
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ming directly denied Sanlian, blocked the girl's mouth, and then took a deep breath while walking in with difficulty.
The Li family is even more magnificent than the Yun family, and the house is also bigger. Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is surrounded, and there are bare willow trees surrounding the wall, and if you want to come to spring, you can see the scene of green willows hanging around. Copying the verandah on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones, which is magnificent, graceful and luxurious.
Yun Shashan and Yun Xixue thought that they had entered the Li family, and they were used to seeing such a luxurious mansion, and they didn't look around like Xu Ming.
When we arrived in front of the main hall, an old butler was already waiting there. Seeing Xu Ming and them coming, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
Towards evening, the butler's shadow was stretched long.
"Young Master Yun, Miss Yun, the master received a letter from Master Yun, and he was waiting in the lobby after lunch in the morning, hurry up, don't let the master wait!" The old housekeeper in front of him didn't know that they were here to withdraw from the marriage, and enthusiastically led the way for them.
"Let's go!" Xu Ming took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold of the Li family's lobby.
There were many people gathered in the lobby of the Li family, sitting on both sides. There was a middle-aged man facing kindness sitting on the main seat in the middle, and he couldn't see his cultivation, probably the head of the Li family, Li Gupeng.
Xu Ming looked around, they were all old people, thinking that they were the elders of the Li family. Behind them stood some young people, after all, juniors were not qualified to sit in the lobby.
Xu Ming saw Li Qingru almost at a glance. No way, he was too conspicuous, even though he was standing in a corner of the lobby, at the back of the crowd.
It's really ugly, dark, and short, and people feel disgusted inexplicably at a glance.
"You can't blame the girl, if it were me, I wouldn't want to marry such an ugly bastard!" Xu Ming pondered, "No matter how good he is, every day when he goes home to eat together, I can vomit three times!"
"Shashan, why did you come to my Li family today?" On the main seat, Li Gupeng spoke, "Our Li family's dowry will be sent to Yunfu in a few days, and when the spring of the next year comes, Xue'er will become an adult, and our two families will be able to get married." ”
When Li Gupeng said this, he was happy, just like seeing that his own pigs would arch cabbage, relieved and happy.
"We are here today for the marriage of the Yun family and the Li family. Yun Shashan stepped forward, looked at Li Gupeng, and said.
Li Gupeng frowned: "Oh, does the Yun family think there is something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Yun Shashan shook his head, "It's our Yun family who wants to withdraw from the marriage!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in this small lobby. In an instant, the lobby, which had been a little noisy just now, became silent, and everyone looked directly at the three people standing in the middle.
Under the silent gaze of everyone, Xu Ming felt a very uncomfortable feeling, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only stand there. He glanced at Li Qingru with his spare eyes. I can't see his emotions from Li Qingru's complexion, of course, it may be because his face is too dark to see clearly.
"The joke isn't funny. After being silent for a long time, Li Gupeng finally spoke, "This marriage contract was made by the older generation, the agreement of parents, and the words of the matchmaker." How can this be said to be retreated?"
"Uncle Li, you know better than anyone about this marriage contract. Yun Shashan looked at him with a sneer, and said without humility or arrogance, "It hasn't been long since the old head of the Li family took advantage of the fire to rob and tamper with the marriage contract, so everyone must have forgotten it." My second uncle is still alone, isn't it thanks to you?"
"Yun Mengze is still single?" Xu Ming thought about it, and indeed didn't see any other children in Yun Mansion.
"Back then, your Yun family suffered a great disaster and was dying, wasn't it our Li family's rescue? Your Yun family, how can you get to this point!" Li Gupeng's tone was holding back anger, and a heavy spiritual pressure appeared in the hall, "Besides, Yun Mengze doesn't marry a wife, what does it have to do with us?
", bully!" Xu Ming hurriedly used his spiritual power to resist the spiritual pressure.
Yun Shashan acted like no one else: "Then when our Yun family and the Cui family were fighting, we never saw a single person from the Li family coming." The brothers of life and death back then, when they encountered great disasters, they did not help, and only gave us some money later, saying that they helped us through the disaster. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Isn't that ungrateful?"
"Back then, the old master of the Yun family just gave my father a cake, and then we gave you so many gold and silver spiritual materials, isn't it enough?" A trace of gloom flashed in Li Gupeng's eyes, "Now it's your turn to be a junior to tell me about being ungrateful?"
"Hehe, right and wrong, feel at ease in people's hearts!" Yun Shashan smiled coldly, "However, today's marriage, we are resigned!"
The hall fell silent again, but Xu Ming could feel the anger in the air that the Li family was about to uncontrollably.
"You dare!" A white-haired old man next to him slapped the table, stood up, and roared angrily, "Are you bullying me that there is no one in the Li family? My eldest brother is gone, and you have done everything possible to obstruct it, and now you want to repent of your marriage?
"We're not trying to slap your Li family in the face. Yun Shashan looked at the old man, "Li Qingru is indeed a genius. But the fate of the lonely star is unpredictable, and no one knows what danger will be around him. My sister, I certainly can't put her at risk. ”
"The old man went to visit Mrs. Yun a few days ago, and she agreed to the old man at that time, and the two families got married after the New Year. The old man left his seat, walked over on crutches, and looked at the three of them, "Why did you suddenly come to divorce today?" The old man squinted at Xu Ming, as if he wanted to pierce him with his gaze, "Why haven't I seen him in the Yun family?"
Yun Shashan walked over and blocked in front of Xu Ming: "This is the reason why we divorced." When my sister-in-law fled, she was captured by gangsters, and later fled to the mountains, with my cousin who was left by an ordinary person. I just returned to the Yun family yesterday. ”
"It turned out to be Hua Rong's son!" the old man looked Xu Ming up and down, "It's really a little similar." But what does this have to do with your divorce?"
"Because my cousin's coming-of-age ceremony is to ask my sister to withdraw from the marriage. "Yun Shashan stabbed Xu Ming.
Xu Ming reacted, and arched his hand towards the old man: "Junior Xu Ming, I have seen the old-timers. ”
"Why do you want to divorce my Li family" The old man was obviously a little shocked, "You just returned to the Yun family, even if you die half of the Yun family, do you still have to take care of the affairs of the Yun family and the Li family?"
"I don't want to either!" Xu Ming complained in his heart, but he still didn't dare to show it on his face: "The junior just doesn't want to watch my cousin fall into the fire pit." ”
The old man's eyes lit up: "You mean, our Li family is a fire pit?"
Xu Ming was furious when he was looked at by the old man's eyes that wanted to kill.
"Isn't it? Don't you look at how ugly your Li Qingru is!" Of course, Xu Ming didn't dare to say that, he could only stand up to everyone's eyes and stubbornly say, "Don't dare." But my cousin doesn't like the Li family's son-in-law and doesn't want to marry him, so she can't sit idly by. ”
"How can you juniors make the decision about the old man's existing marriage contract, change it when you say it, and withdraw it when you say it?"
"Grandma has agreed, we must withdraw from this marriage!" Xu Ming looked at the old man with a firm look.
The old man's chest rose and fell violently, and he thought that he was very angry.
"Third uncle, you take a rest first. Finally, Li Gupeng, who was on the main seat, spoke again. He asked the old man to help him back to his position, and then looked at Xu Ming and the others.
"Come with me. Li Gupeng got up and left the lobby.
"Qingru, you come too!"
Xu Ming raised his eyes and looked at Li Qingru unconsciously. He's looking at himself, too.
Inexplicably, Xu Ming actually had a trace of fear for him.
