"Before I came here, I sent someone to investigate clearly. Miss Cui's family has no betrothed to anyone at all, and there is no engagement contract such as a baby kiss."
"That's right, when Sister Ning'er gave me the handkerchief, she said I was a piece of wood. Later I understood what she meant. She is so smart, there must be a way to avoid forced marriage." Li Chengqian took out the handkerchief, his eyes filled with laughter. Full of memories.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes: "You are not only stupid, but also a fool. Do you think Cui Ning'er really left home to visit relatives? I bet she didn't. She was hidden by her father and didn't want you to see her. .”
"Ah? Really? What should we do, brother-in-law? You must help me see Ning'er." Li Chengqian hugged Xiao Rui's arm.
Xiao Rui said calmly: "Don't worry, if this trip is not a complete success, I will not be able to go back and deal with His Majesty and your sister. However, you can no longer act impulsively. Listen to my orders and don't mess up. .”
"Well, I listen to my brother-in-law in everything." Li Chengqian nodded heavily.
Xiao Rui ordered: "You have been pretending to study these two days. If you have nothing else to do, go talk to your friends. They have been in the house for a long time and they should know some secrets. They may know Cui Ning'er's whereabouts. Come back and tell them after you find out. I."
"What about you, brother-in-law?"
"Me? Of course I will continue to talk with them and exchange knowledge."
"But, but what if they really get engaged to someone..." Li Chengqian was worried.
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "Do they think I, Xiao Rui, is easy to bully? If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been frightened away by these words. I won't tolerate them. Cui Shouzhen? Since I know that you and Cui Ning'er are in love, If he dares to force a girl to get married, he is not giving face to Your Majesty, and he is also slapping my teacher, Xiao Rui, in the face. Your Majesty and I are different, I never follow the rules."
"Go to sleep quickly, I have a plan of my own."
Sure enough, as Xiao Rui guessed, Cui Ning'er really left a message before she was hidden. As if she had a premonition that Li Chengqian was coming, she left clues in the kitchen.
Xiao Rui smiled, "This Cui Ning'er is indeed the daughter of the Cui family, Zhuge. She can quarrel with her father. If you marry her, you will be really lucky."
"Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"
"There's no rush. Let's send someone to find out where Cui Ning'er is first. The discussion has been very boring these two days. A group of people have been sent away. Cui Shouzhen is alone, so we can start the next step."
The next morning, rumors suddenly spread in Qinghe City. It was said that Cui Ning'er, the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, was forced to marry because she was dissatisfied. She ran away from home and has not returned yet. The rumors spread widely.
The head of the family, Cui Shouzhen, was so angry that he ordered repeatedly to find out the source of the rumors.
But when Xiao Rui came to the door with the news, Cui Shouzhen instantly understood that it was this guy who caused the trouble.
"Master Cui, I have heard a piece of news. You must tell the truth."
"Master Marquis, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
"There are rumors in the city that your beloved Miss Cui ran away from home because she was dissatisfied with your forced marriage. Her whereabouts are still unknown. Is this possible?"
this……
"There is absolutely no such thing, rumors, absolutely rumors. My daughter went to her grandmother's house with her mother. Our family all know that there is no such thing as running away from home. The child is false and the child is false..." Cui Shouzhen refused to admit it.
Xiao Rui chatted: "Master Cui, since Xiao lives in the Cui family and is favored by you, then your business is Xiao Rui's business. If something happens to your daughter, you must not be polite. Although Xiao Rui I’m not very capable, but my Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in the world, so it’s not difficult to get information and find someone.”
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness, but it's really not the case. My little girl is fine and nothing happened."
"It doesn't look like there are noses and eyes in the city. It doesn't look like it's fake. Master Cui, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell us. Let's go over the details together..." Xiao Rui was very enthusiastic.
Cui Shouzhen was almost annoyed to death and repeatedly refused to explain, but Xiao Rui just didn't believe it and insisted on helping.
"In this case, since you said that nothing happened to your daughter-in-law, please invite her out to see me, otherwise I will think that you have some difficulties. I, Xiao Rui, will help you with this."
Cui Shouzhen:......
If you were not the champion Hou Xiaorui, I would really want to slap you to death. Who would want you to be troublesome? Mind our family affairs? Is it your turn?
"Master Hou, my daughter has gone to her grandmother's house. How can she be called out to meet her? Why don't you believe Cui, a father? I thank you Master Hou for your kindness, but this is a family matter of my Cui family, so I won't bother you. ”
Xiao Rui was dissatisfied when he heard it, "You can't say that. Originally, I didn't want to worry about it, but this matter involves my student Li Chengqian, so of course I have to take care of it."
"What does this have to do with His Royal Highness?"
"Why doesn't it matter? There are rumors in the city that the reason why your daughter ran away from marriage was because she already had a crush on someone else. It was none other than the prince Li Chengqian who was staying with the Cui family. The two of them had already made a private decision for life..."
puff……
Well, Xiao Rui, I didn’t mention it earlier, but now that the people I invited have almost returned, you brought it up again, this is deliberately looking for trouble.
"It's nonsense. How can my little girl be pure and pure, and have a lifelong private contract with someone? Lord Marquis, it's not very good to slander my pure reputation like this, isn't it?" Cui Shouzhen's face turned pale.
Xiao Rui asked someone to call Li Chengqian, "I don't feel good about it either. For this reason, I went to Chengqian to find out. The two of them are indeed destined and have a good impression of each other. It was Miss Cui who protected Chengqian from danger in the first place, and she even said she was close to her when we parted. They gave each other a handkerchief. But this boy was young and ignorant, ignorant of feelings, and did not understand the beauty's thoughts at that time."
"He doesn't understand. How can we adults understand? This is obviously a token of love. Chengqian, take out that handkerchief and look at it."
"Since this fact exists, the rumors in the city have to be doubted."
When Cui Shouzhen saw the handkerchief, the corners of his eyes shrank, and he thought to himself: This girl is causing trouble for me. The Cui family cannot marry the royal family. I have taught you this a long time ago!
"Haha, this handkerchief is not my daughter's property. Is it private for life? There is no truth to it! And the day before yesterday, I stated below that my daughter is engaged to the prince of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Lord Marquis, if you mention these things again, won't it cause trouble for our family?"
Xiao Rui asked, "I must be unreasonable. Marriage is not a trivial matter. Since the two children have fate and experience, and the rumors are so true, I still have to investigate clearly to avoid regrets. That engagement you mentioned , I sent people to check, but I didn’t hear that the Taiyuan Wang family was engaged to Miss Cui. Could it be that you don’t like to accept Qian, and are you deliberately trying to shirk it like this? "
Cui Shouzhen rolled his sleeves and said angrily: "Isn't this reasonable? The facts are there. What Ning'er promised is Wang Ziyu, the son of my good friend Wang Xiaoan. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate and inquire."
Oh...Wang Xiaoan's son, Wang Ziyu? I've never heard of it, but I'll send someone to check it out.
Li Chengqian panicked, "Brother-in-law, this..."
Xiao Rui patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, what's yours is yours, no one can take it away. What's the point of living if a man can't even protect the woman he loves?"
"Didn't they just get engaged? They haven't gotten married yet. It's simple. I'll just send someone to kill that Wang Ziyu. Anyway, your brother-in-law and I are covered in murder and my hands are bloody, so I don't care about a few more lives."
puff……
Champion, what do you mean? Are you threatening me? Cui Shouzhen's heart suddenly trembled.
"Fifth brother, send someone to do it immediately! After a clear investigation, we found the Wang family father and son. If they say there is no such marriage, then just come back and report to me. If there is such a marriage, no one in the family will be left alive!"
"I've been given the order, I'll do it myself!" Li Junxian bowed and left, his body filled with murderous aura.
"Xiao Rui, what do you want?" Cui Shouzhen was angry!
