"Hey! A good son-in-law!"
As soon as Lu Chen walked to the door, Mr. Li's urgent voice sounded behind him.
"Stay, stay!"
Lu Chen turned back expressionlessly.
"Liu Yuanwai, don't talk nonsense. I and your daughter are pure and innocent. Not even a strand of green hair has been touched. However, Yuanwai Li cannot be called a 'good son-in-law'."
Hearing this, Li Yuanwai's face full of bruises was visibly panicked.
"Hey! Don't say that, good son-in-law. Before, I was blinded by lard and drank a few taels of horse urine. Then I lost my mind and ran over to break off the engagement. Now that I have woken up, why don't you come here quickly? It’s better to rebuild it.”
With that said, Yuan Li quickly pulled his daughter forward and said in a good voice:
"Since the first time I saw my Xianxiu, I felt that my Xianxiu had an extraordinary temperament and would definitely do something great in the future. I have always believed that a gentleman with upright conduct like Xianxiu would definitely become the pillar of our Great Xia Kingdom and contribute to our country's future. Mr. Qingtian, who seeks the welfare of hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia! So how could I regret my marriage? This is all a misunderstanding!"
Li Baojin on the side was very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's indifferent attitude, but it seemed that he had been told something before coming here, so he said with poor acting skills:
"Yes, Lu Lang, my father values you so much, why would he object to our marriage? These days, my father is full of regrets. He always sighs at home, and his hair has turned a lot white. If he doesn't really realize his mistake, how can he Is this so? Lu Lang, you have always valued love and righteousness. Come to think of it..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Chen who almost vomited out his overnight meal.
"Executive member Li, Miss Li, you and I know exactly what is right and what is wrong, so it would be pointless to say something like this."
He slapped away Mr. Li's big fat hand, and then said calmly:
"I was young and energetic, and I offended the Empress Dowager Zhao regardless of my wealth. The end must be miserable. You, Mr. Li, came to your home to regret your marriage in order to protect yourself. I can understand that. You didn't say a harsh word to Mr. Li, and simply returned the marriage certificate. From that moment on, I have nothing to do with your Li family."
"Now that I am safe and sound, I may be lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty for a while, but you don't have to worry about me taking personal revenge. Since the matter has passed, from now on, you, the Li family, will walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will walk alone on the single-plank bridge. Yes, Mr. Li, why do you come to disturb my purity?"
Hearing that Lu Chen didn't care about his previous repentance of the marriage, the originally tense look in Mr. Li's small eyes suddenly relaxed.
Although Li Baojin said so arrogantly before, he knows his own affairs well.
Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been extremely low, and Daxia is no exception.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, being ranked at the bottom of the list is a real reflection of status, not just a casual talk.
It is true that the Li family has someone in the court, but if their family is really so awesome, they won't do such a thing as catching their son-in-law.
In fact, Li Baojin's cousin, Su Dian, who had just been promoted to the position of Chief Minister of Xichuan Qing Dynasty, did have some connections with the Li family, and they occasionally visited each other, but to say how good the relationship was was nonsense. .
In essence, Su Dian just regarded them as cash cows. They were called relatives, but in fact they were just a relationship of mutual use.
How could he be expected to sincerely stand up for their Li family?
Therefore, when Lu Chen said that he did not hold any grudge against them, Yuan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in his opinion, verbal promises are not insured by the marriage certificate written in black and white, so he added:
"Oh, there is a misunderstanding. My dear son-in-law, am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and death, and only knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm? Not to mention offending the Queen Mother Zhao, even if he offends His Majesty, as long as my husband-in-law is righteous, I will go bankrupt. I will also support my virtuous son-in-law, my virtuous son-in-law, we are a family, can I still lie to you?"
Anyway, the Empress Dowager Zhao and her party members are already pretty cool, so it doesn't matter what he says. Such words naturally come out of his mouth.
At this moment, Lu Chen really admired Yuan Li very much.
He can even say such things, this person is really thick-skinned...
If he had had such shame before time traveling, he wouldn't have been in such a miserable state.
But admiration is admiration. He doesn't even bother to say a word to this kind of wallflower who talks about people and ghosts.
What's more, Yuan Li's daughter...it's really hard to describe...
This kind of heavyweight will marry whoever he likes, but his small body will definitely not be able to bear it anyway.
It can only be said that the predecessor's patience was really strong, both in a material sense and in a spiritual sense...
Shaking his head, Lu Chen said bluntly: "Executive member Li, since your business can be so big, it means you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, don't say such words that would make a child laugh out loud. Although I am not shrewd, I am not a fool who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Besides, I consider myself to have no grievances with Mr. Li. The last time I terminated my engagement, I have cleared up all my grudges. Why would Mr. Li use these words to insult me today? ?”
Having said this, Lu Chen turned around again and walked inside.
Luo Xiaoyu on the side was about to close the door to keep these two shameless beasts out so as not to pollute their yard.
As Lu Chen walked away, he solemnly said: "Go back, Mr. Li. I have no connection with the daughter of your family, and I can't even compete with your Li family. Don't talk more about getting married. Today, I will be Mr. Li's servant." In the future, I will never cause trouble to your Li family."
"I've already made it very clear. If Mr. Li continues to pester me, I won't blame you for being rude!"
In the last sentence, Lu Chen emphasized his tone even more.
When Mr. Li heard this, his body suddenly shook and he was speechless.
At this moment, he finally realized that the young man in front of him, who in his eyes was stupid at reading and had a weak brain, was not as easy to manipulate as he had imagined.
When Li Baojin next to him saw that he was silent and Lu Chen left resolutely, while the "poor relative" Luo Xiaoyu, whom she had always looked down upon, was holding the door open again, she suddenly became furious and shouted to Lu Chen loudly:
"Lu Lang, are you really so cruel? Are you going to be that heartless and heartless man?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen felt that all his views were shattered.
The corners of his eyes kept twitching.
What? Am I cruel? Am I unkind? Still betraying your heart?
Sister, can you be reasonable?
It was your father who came here to regret the marriage, and you didn't even show up during the whole process. For such a long time, you told me that you didn't know anything about it?
Who is so heartless?
And I haven’t even touched your finger in my predecessor, so why do you still betray me?
You guys are so proficient at raking and raking...
As expected, it is not a family that refuses to enter the same house. You are worthy of being a father and daughter. In terms of being thick-skinned, I, Lu Chen, would like to call you the strongest!
Shaking his head, Lu Chen said without looking back: "Miss Li, please respect yourself. I and Miss Li are innocent and have never had any physical contact. Moreover, your father, Mr. Li, took the initiative to come to your home to terminate the engagement. I don't think so." This incident shows that I have failed in my moral conduct."
"As the saying goes, sharing joys and sorrows together, since the Li family abandoned them like worn-out shoes when they were in trouble, why do they need to show off here now? It's just annoying."
After the words fell, Lu Chen didn't stop anymore.
The door of the small courtyard was also closed by Luo Xiaoyu with a "snap", leaving the father and daughter standing outside with bewildered faces, not knowing what to do for a moment.
