Before they could discuss the contents of the confession, Dai Yi walked in dejectedly.
He said before that he was going home to discuss breaking off the engagement with his father, but he didn't know how the two people discussed it. However, looking at him now, it is very likely that the father and son broke up on bad terms.
"Why are you so downcast? Didn't you say that you want to discuss breaking off the engagement when you go home?" After Dai Yi finished the ceremony, Shen Cha asked him to sit down, "I thought you would stay at home all night, why are you back now? You two can't talk about it. Okay?"
"It's true that the negotiation wasn't very good. My father agreed to break off the engagement. He also had such an idea, but he didn't agree that the Mu family would step in."
"You don't agree with the Mu family coming forward? Why?"
"He thinks that if the Mu family proposes to cancel the engagement, it will bring bad reputation to his subordinates. If he wants to get married in the future, it may be difficult."
"You're thinking long-term." Seeing Dai Yi give a wry smile, Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Is this the reason why we started to quarrel?"
Dai Yi held the ginger soup that Merlin handed him, blew it gently, and then took a cautious sip.
"It's not really a quarrel, it just doesn't make sense." He nodded towards Shen Cha, "My subordinates asked him, if the Dai family takes the initiative to break off the engagement, what will happen to the reputation of the Mu family's sister? The Mu family's sister is a girl, isn't it? Should you pay more attention to reputation than rough people like me? He said, the Mu family loves vanity and wants to marry into a high family, why should I ruin my reputation? Since the two families have already reached an agreement, this person with a bad reputation will not It’s important.”
Song Qiyun briefly explained the current situation to Prince Dai, Wu Qingruo, and Prince Ning. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Dai Yi's words and frowned in disapproval.
"Xiao Dai, what your father said is not very kind. The Mu family proposed to break off the engagement because they were worried that something might happen in the future that would implicate you or the Dai family. Not to mention being kind-hearted, it was also considered for you and the Dai family. If someone bites her to death and refuses to break off the engagement, there's nothing you can do about it, right?"
"Your Highness is right, and my subordinates think so too, but..." Dai Yi sighed helplessly and shook his head gently, "I can't say such things, and I can't tell him the inside story. If If I tell him, he will be frightened and unable to sleep at night."
"No one of you can convince the other, so why don't you each calm down?" Seeing Dai Yi nodding, Song Jue touched his chin, "That's good, maybe the old man will figure it out. Then again, If the old man insists on refusing to give in and must break off the engagement, what should you do?"
"What else can I do? He is my father, and I can't force it. I can only solve it slowly." Dai Yi shrugged, "If you really can't solve it, you can only think of other ways. Anyway, you can always find a solution. method."
"My father is just worried that you will be affected by this and not be able to find a good marriage in the future." Shen Cha sighed, "But what do you think?"
"Subordinate..." Dai Yi thought for a while and looked at everyone in the warm hall, "I don't want to get married, and I don't want to go back to Xijing. I just want to stay at the border."
"What about your father?" Shen Cha looked at Dai Yi, "In more than ten years, he will grow older and need your care."
"Back to General, my father said that he will stay with me at the border in a few years." Dai Yi sighed, "Actually, he also understands that my marriage to the Mu family fell through when I went to the border. Everyone in the Mu family will not allow their daughter to marry to the border. Therefore, it is inevitable to terminate the engagement, but he just can't swallow it now. He always feels that if the other party proposes it, it will damage his face. "
"Why do the elderly care so much about this illusory face? Can face be eaten as food?" After Song Qiyun finished speaking, he felt that he had said the wrong thing and waved his hands towards Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, "Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang, please forgive me, nephew. I’m not talking about two people.”
"Some elderly people do care about face. You are right." Prince Dai waved his hand and glanced at Dai Yi, "If you have any problems, please ask your general to go to Xuanyuan , this is a problem they have to solve, let them have the headache themselves.”
"Your Majesty, this matter can still be solved by my subordinates. There is no need to trouble Old General Xuanyuan." Dai Yi bowed slightly, "My subordinates have already thought about it. If it doesn't work, we have to resort to outsmarting him."
"Hey, boy, you've made great progress!" Song Qiyun came over and patted Dai Yi on the shoulder, "Come, tell me, how do you plan to outwit me?"
"My lord, what else can I do? Of course I have to steal the marriage certificate!" Dai Yi raised his eyebrows at Song Qiyun and raised his head to look at Shen Haolin. "We have no choice but to reach this point. I sincerely ask the Duke to come forward."
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded and agreed to his request, "But this is a last resort. It can solve the temporary problem. The remaining follow-up needs to be solved by you and your son together."
"If my father can figure it out, that would be the best. If he can't figure it out, he can't delay the important matter. The sooner such a matter is solved, the better."
"Hey! I have a way to get through it and get your father to agree to let you break the engagement." Song Qiyun glanced at Mei Zhu who was standing next to him, "How about asking Sister Mei Zhu and Xiao Dai to go back? "
"No, Your Majesty, please don't dig a hole for me. I can't afford it." Dai Yi refused without thinking. He had already felt the sharp looks from Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. came out. "My subordinates will handle this matter themselves. I don't dare to trouble General Mei."
Shen Cha shook his head slightly, disagreeing with Song Qiyun's idea.
"That girl from the Mu family cares about her reputation, and we, Xiaozhu, care even more about it. Xiaoyun, if this is the case, we can't talk nonsense in the future."
"I know!" Song Qiyun smiled at Shen Cha, "I was just making an analogy."
"You have to use a hundred lies to cover up a lie. Such an approach will leave a lot of troubles. Aren't I just an example?" Prince Ning half-leaned on the soft couch. "If I had told the truth, I would have He couldn't be reduced to this situation now. Listen to this king's advice, don't think of anything, just ask Mu Sheng to talk to the Dai family in person, tell him all his difficulties, and let your father make the decision." He chuckled. He said, "As for whether Mu Sheng will tell your father the truth and how he will convince your father, it depends on his ability. What you have to do now is to go to Mu's house and ask Mu Sheng to come forward."
"Yes, my subordinate, go right away!"
Dai Yi hurriedly drank the ginger soup, stood up, saluted everyone and prepared to leave. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Shen Cha.
"Merlin, you and Xiao Dai go to the old general Xuanyuan. Mu Sheng should not leave the city tonight."
"yes!"
