() "My lord, great general!" Dai Yi saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I will allow you to retire for the time being. I want to go home and inform my father of the news. Regarding the dissolution of the engagement, I will also Uncle Mu and my father should be in charge."
"That should be the case." Shen Haolin nodded, "If there is something that requires Mr. Mu to explain, I should invite him to go with me."
"My lord, General, can you lend me a pen and paper?"
"Of course." Shen Cha winked at Mei Lin, who brought a small table with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it, "Sir, please use it."
Mu Sheng picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Dai Yi's father. The main content was to explain that she wanted to break off the engagement. The letter did not involve the true identities of each other. She just said that she loved her beloved daughter and was unwilling to marry her to the border and suffer. He was willing to let her stay in Xijing as a widow, so he proposed to terminate the engagement. He hoped that his old brother could understand his father's heart and agree to his selfish proposal.
Dai Yi dried the ink stains on the letter, folded the letter paper, and left the conservatory with confidence that the envelope was ready.
The moment he walked out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he felt extremely relaxed all over his body. After knowing Mu Sheng's identity, he felt a big stone weighing on his heart. He couldn't eat well or sleep well these days. Fortunately, everything has been resolved now and things will be back to normal soon. The only thing he hopes now is that the Mu family's sister can find a good home, so that he can feel at ease.
In the warm hall, Mu Sheng solemnly saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, thanking them for helping her in this matter.
"Mr. Mu, this matter has not been settled yet, so this thank you is a little early."
"General, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Cha asked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to serve tea to Bai Meng, Song Qiyun, Jin Miaomiao and Tantai Pingchuan, and looked at Mu Sheng seriously.
"Breaking off the engagement is just the wishful thinking of the husband, or it is the wish of the husband, Dai Yi and us. We don't know whether Miss Mu's family and the Dai family agree. In case my daughter-in-law does not agree to break off the engagement and would rather die and insist on marrying Dai Yi, sir. How to do it?”
"Back to General, I have reached an agreement with my daughter and she agreed to break off the engagement." Mu Sheng sighed, "Although she is a little regretful, but...she said that she and the Dai brother are more like brothers and sisters, and there is no other friendship. Even if If you fulfill your engagement, life may not go smoothly in the future. Since you have anticipated this, there is nothing wrong with taking a step back."
"Miss Mu is wise." Shen Cha nodded, "Sir, can you talk to Dai Yi's father about this matter? I heard Dai Yi say that the two of you are as close as brothers."
"It's not that exaggerated. We do have a friendship, but it's not that good."
"If that Mr. Dai refuses to terminate the engagement and return Miss Mu's marriage certificate, I'm afraid he will go to Jingzhao Mansion. If it really comes to this step, not only will the friendship between the two families be destroyed, but also Yu Mu's Miss Jia’s reputation is also damaged. Did Mr. Mu consider these consequences when he proposed to terminate the engagement? "
"Go back to General, I've already thought about it."
"Tell me what you think, sir."
Mu Sheng looked at Shen Cha, sighed, and said, "I have thought about it. Even if we go to Jingzhao Mansion, the engagement must be terminated. If Dai Yi had not gone to the border and entered the Shen Family Army, everything would have been fine. But the situation is different now. Dai Yi is valued by the general, and the Mu family has such an identity, so he should stay away. This is for Dai Yi's good, for the good of the Dai family, and also to protect the Mu family. "
"That's right. It depends on whether Mr. Dai cooperates." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "If it doesn't work out, I'll discuss it with Ah Jing and let the Xuanyuan Mansion come forward and say that there is a young man from the Xuanyuan family who has taken a liking to you. The youngest daughter of your family wants to marry your youngest daughter, and the Mu family is also willing to marry their daughter into the Xuanyuan family. But because the Mu and Dai families have a marriage contract, if you want to marry your daughter into the Xuanyuan family, you must Undo the Old Covenant.”
"Is there a man of the right age in the Xuanyuan family?" Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan curiously, "These words are not just said casually. If the Xuanyuan family agrees to this marriage, if Miss Mu family wants to marry another family, she will It’s not easy anymore.”
"I can say this because Ah Liang has been troubled by this matter recently." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "The son of the Xuanyuan family is actually quite good, especially under the guidance of Ah Liang in recent years, his knowledge, They all have good natures. Some of them have reached the age where they can talk about marriage. Their parents came to Ah Liang and asked him to find a good wife for their children. Family background is not important, but character is important. And education." He looked at Mu Sheng and chuckled, "Before coming here, I had already recommended a girl from the Mu family to Ah Liang."
"Senior, did you expect to break off the engagement?"
"Once Mu Sheng's identity is exposed, the engagement will be broken off sooner or later, unless this boy from the Dai family leaves the Shen family army." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "Although the Tantai family's reputation has long been lost in history, those people have not Stop it, we are still using the banner of the Tantai family and the Heijia camp, and there is nothing we can do about it if those of us who are just living our lives are implicated by them."
"Actually, it's not so troublesome. There is no need for the Xuanyuan family to come forward. As Sister Xiaocha said, if this marriage fails, it will be difficult for Miss Mu's family to get married. For such an engagement, she will sacrifice her whole life. It's not worth it." Song Qiyun couldn't help but interrupt, "If it really comes to Jingzhao Mansion, I can help." He smiled evilly, "Brother Lian Wang is in Xijing. When the time comes, I Please do him a favor and drag him through Jingzhao Mansion, and you will be able to sort out the matter."
"Your Highness is talking about Prince Lian?" Seeing Song Qiyun nod, Tantai Pingchuan chuckled, "This is a good idea."
"Why?" Jin Miaomiao patted Song Qiyun, "Last time I checked for the Queen Mother's pulse in the palace, I also met Prince Lian once. Apart from finding him funny, I didn't think there was anything special about him."
"You talk funny?" Song Qiyun and Bai Meng snorted at the same time. "That's because you didn't provoke him. Try provoking him and see if he talks funny or is sarcastic. This time, if it weren't for the queen's birthday, he wouldn't want to give her any trouble. Because of this, he endured the provocation of the boys from the Ministry of Etiquette. It was because of this that those boys dared to confront him head-on. On a normal day, would you have seen those guys from the Ministry of Etiquette dare to challenge him? I was scolded so much that I couldn’t even find him.”
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, be rigorous." Bai Meng added, "It's not that you can't find the north, it's that the smoke is coming from the seven orifices."
"Ever since Crown Prince Lian scolded to death a censor who spread rumors about his misdeeds and bullied men and women, all the officials in Xijing, from the cabinet to the ordinary officials, were shocked. From then on, no one dared to Go and provoke Prince Lian." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "I hope the divorce can be smoother and not have to work for Prince Lian."
