"What! Marriage contract?" A shout resounded throughout the third floor of Zhaonanxuan. Xiao Yu and Chu Chu turned their faces to avoid the eyes of the owner of the shout.

Lu Xing put the back of his hand on his forehead and looked up at the intertwined beams. When he first saw Liu Danyang, he felt that something was wrong with her expression. It turned out that she was waiting for him here.

"Third uncle, what's your idea? Or is it the elder's?" Lu Xing asked,

Chu Chu smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Hey, Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. Miss Tan is the treasured wife of Yingtian Academy, and ordinary people can't even look at her even if they cross the threshold."

"Uncle San did it on purpose," Lu Xing took a sip of the tea handed over by Xiao Yu, his tone a little colder, "You came down from Longhu Mountain with me, how could you forget the two years between me and the Heavenly Master?"

Appointment? You must know that I want to marry Song Qingran."

Chu Chu replied: "Your Majesty, you are serious. If you marry Tan Jing as your first wife, Song Qingran can also marry you as your equal wife. Both the left and right marry you. What's the difference?"

"Ha," Lu Xing smiled contemptuously and asked, "What does Grandma Fu mean? A legitimate wife, an equal wife? They won't agree!"

"There are very few people in the world who know about Tan Jing's visit to Wen Dao Relics. The Chu family is a member of the academy. Could it be that the old man of the Chu family sent you a message?"

Chu Chu did not refute, so he acquiesced, and said with a smile: "In terms of relationship, he can be regarded as the prince's godfather, just like a mandarin duck. This either does not explain the position of the princess, or it gives the prince room for maneuver."

"What's the relationship between Tan Jing and Mr. Chu?" Lu Xing asked, addressing Liu Danyang.

Liu Danyang quickly bowed and said: "Tan Jing was born in a poor family and was brought back to the academy by Master Wen. Mr. Chu watched her grow up."

Lu Xing finally understood that as Mr. Chu, he would respect his sister even when he saw her. It was hard for him to refuse the elder's words. But he had an appointment with Song Qingran. If that girl knew about this,

How sad will you cry?

But this matter is unclear. If I dare to go to Mr. Chu to refute it, I am afraid I will be slapped with a big label. Just saying that you can marry me as an equal wife will make me unable to resist. What should I do?

What? Lu Xing gritted his teeth and made up his mind: No matter what, I will cancel the marriage contract first. Anyway, the Chu family is far away from Xuejin City. No matter how powerful Mr. Chu is, he cannot go to Xuejin City to question me.

Bar.

After thinking about it, Lu Xing folded the marriage contract, hid it in his sleeve, and went out, "You prepare the carriage and wait for me at the North City Gate. I will go to the liberal arts college and explain the marriage contract clearly."

"Subordinates, slaves, take orders." Liu Danyang and Xiao Yu quickly bent down and bowed.

…

On the road, Lu Xing was dressed in white and had a wine gourd at his waist. He was immediately recognized by countless passers-by. As a result, the news of "Lu Xing, returned to Jiacheng" spread throughout the city at an extremely fast speed.

"Dong, dong dong." Lu Xing knocked on the door with his animal ring and waited quietly.

The vermilion door was pushed open, and the academy disciples inside recognized Lu Xing and quickly greeted Lu Xing to come in. They knew full well about the marriage contract signed between Tan Jing and Lu Xing.

With such smooth flow, Lu Xing entered three gates in a row, then crossed a stone bridge, and finally reached the inner courtyard.

The academy disciple who was leading the way stopped and said, "Junior sister Tan is a woman and her residence is not on the same side as ours. The prince should go in alone and go around another courtyard."

"Okay, thank you," Lu Xing nodded.

The disciple leading the way chuckled and said, "Where are you following me now? When you and Junior Sister Tan get married, the prince and we will be considered a family. I might have to come to the North to find a job in the future."

Married? Looking for an errand... Lu Xing sighed in his heart: Don't come looking for me with a knife, I will burn high incense.

"Okay, if you are willing to come to the Northland, the door to the Northland is open to you at any time." Lu Xing always had two different opinions in his heart and mouth.

After bidding farewell to the disciples who led the way, Lu Xing walked a short distance alone. Although the courtyard was too big, he walked for a long time without seeing the second small courtyard.

"Stop! Where are the disciples from? They don't look like they are dressed in the academy. Could they be thieves who have sneaked in?" A Cuili voice shouted, which made Lu Xingzhi stop.

"You... turn around," Tan Jing rubbed her eyes and said hesitantly.

Lu Xing turned around, deliberately lowering his head to make people look down on his face.

"Raise your head!" Tan Jing's voice was urgent, as if something was about to come out.

Lu Xing raised his head, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands, as if expecting a big hug, "Jing'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight?"

"Woo, woo..."

Tan Jing ran out in a few steps, jumped into Lu Xing's arms, and said in a choked voice: "You, when did you... come back?"

"Also, this, this is my yard. Who allowed you to break in without permission? If you were an outsider, I would punish you."

Lu Xing asked tentatively: "Why are you not an outsider?"

"If he is our husband, he is not an outsider." Tan Jing's pretty face was buried in Lu Xing's arms.

Lu Xing felt a knot in his heart, and he didn't know how to express what was in his heart. But now that the two of them were reunited, it would be too unkind to mention those terrible words without a few words of conversation.

Tan Jing took Lu Xing around the yard, and then led him to eat snacks before the two of them sat down at the stone table in the house.

Tan Jing frowned and asked, "Lu Xing, are you worried? Why are you so unhappy?"

"Yes," Lu Xing said without hesitation, he took out the marriage contract from his sleeve and said, "I want to annul this marriage contract."

"Okay." Tan Jing nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay?" Lu Xing didn't react for a moment. He thought Tan Jing was either angry or sad, but she wouldn't say "Okay" in a soft voice.

"Well," Tan Jing smiled calmly and said, "If my marriage contract increases the burden on Lu Xing, then it will be torn up. Anyway, the people who know about this marriage contract are the disciples of the academy. No matter how easy it is for me to explain to them,

Once this is done, if it is not spread to the outside world, this matter will be overturned."

"It doesn't matter what the marriage contract is. It's true that I like Lu Xing, but if Lu Xing doesn't like me, I won't force him." Tan Jing's eyes were filled with smiles, and she put her delicate hands on Lu Xing's.

Lu Xing felt the warmth of Tan Jing's palm, and when he looked up again, he found that Tan Jing's eyes were still full of tears, which were caused by the coal mining.

"Jing'er, are you crying?"

Tan Jing closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Can you stop crying? Which daughter's family wouldn't be heartbroken when her beloved returns the marriage contract? I'm crying, don't Lu Xing care."

"What are you talking about? I like you too." Lu Xing said, reaching out to wipe away Tan Jing's tears.

"Well, I'm satisfied that Lu Xing is willing to like me." Tan Jing's eyebrows were slightly lowered as she said this, but her tears were like a pelting rain.

Lu Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Jing'er, let me tell you a story. That's my close friend on Longhu Mountain."

So, he talked about Song Qingran, the escaped marriage, and the last two years of engagement.

After saying this, I replaced the old tea in my hand with a new one, but it was still cold.

"Ah, Lu Xing, you have gone too far. You are running away from your marriage. If sister Qingran hadn't been so soft-tempered, how could I have spared you?" Tan Jing said, her eyes filled with anger, and she seemed to be getting angrier as she thought about it.

"No, you have to go and admit your mistake to sister Qingran. Why do you have the nerve to come down the mountain?"

Lu Xing asked tentatively: "So, are you willing to go with Song Qingran?"

"No, it's a bit shameful to say this word," Tan Jing put her hand against Lu Xing's mouth and said with a smile, "Of course I am willing. Lu Xing is a man, and it is human nature to have multiple concubines."

"Ah, I thought..." Lu Xing said, feeling relieved.

Tan Jing smiled slightly and said, "Does Lu Xing think that since I am the concubine of the academy, we must be together for the rest of our lives and you are not allowed to be tempted by other women? What if you are not allowed to marry other women?"

"That's not the case. In ancient times, Emperor Ku and Emperor Yao both had four concubines. Their first wife was the principal concubine, and the rest were secondary concubines. Later, Emperor Shun also had three concubines, but he did not establish a principal concubine. These three concubines were all wives.

"

"If we follow the laws and etiquette, then Lu Xing is the future king of the North, and I won't say anything wrong if he marries more wives. But Lu Xing must be a kind and righteous person, since he agreed

Sister Qingran, you must never break your promise."

"Okay," Lu Xing agreed, looking at the marriage contract in his hand, and said, "As for how to deal with this marriage contract?"

Tan Jing's beautiful eyes trembled slightly and said: "Why don't Lu Xing give it to me? I'll write a letter to sister Qingran. Since she is Lu Xing's fiancée, then if I want to get engaged to Lu Xing, I have to do it with Qingran."

Sister just nods."

Lu Xing replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I have to send a letter to Qingran. If she gets a misunderstanding, it will be more of a loss than a gain."

"Actually, even if you do this, you still have wronged sister Qingran. She is not by your side. If she doesn't like me, you can tell her." Tan Jing lamented, as if she could know that Song Qingran was far away on Longhu Mountain.

of mind.

"Otherwise, it happens that Lu Xing and sister Qingran have been dating for two years, so I will respond to Tianshuyuan and wait. I will also wait for Lu Xing for two years. By then, if there is no eight-carriage sedan, I will definitely not be able to invite you.

Move me." Tan Jing held her chin, her eyes flickering, as if she was longing for something.

Lu Xing nodded, agreeing to Tan Jing's opinion. In this case, this was not considered a break-up, only an extension.

After the matter was finished, Lu Xing had no intention of disturbing Chu Xiuming, so he asked Tan Jing to inform him on his behalf.

He walked in the courtyard with his sword and headed towards the north gate.

The North City Gate and the city entrance were temporarily renovated, and the four miles of collapsed city wall have not been repaired yet.

Lu Xing put away his sword and returned to the carriage. There were four people in the group, Chu Chu, Xiao Yu and Liu Danyang.

"The prince has broken off the engagement?" Chu Chu asked.

Lu Xing shook his head and briefly explained the results of his discussion with Tan Jing.

"Ah, Your Majesty dares to let Tan Jing be a younger boy? This is not easy for you to deal with. I guess Mr. Chu will go crazy if he knows it." Chu Chu looked shocked. He had an uncle-nephew relationship with Lu Xing, so naturally he dared to say anything, "Concubine"

The gap between Chu and the direct descendants is huge, the prince had better be more careful. Fortunately, you have set a two-year deadline, so this matter can be slowed down."

After Chu Chu said this, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "Your Majesty, take a look at this, there is a letter from Fei Ge."

Lu Xing took the bamboo tube and found a roll of paper inside. He slowly opened it and read only four words, but it made everyone's breath hitch.
