The two of them didn't say anything more and walked forward quietly.
After a while, we arrived at the southwest corner of the temple, where there are many wing rooms and the location is relatively remote.
Many ministers and their families were arranged to live here.
"This is it." According to what the little novice monk said, Xiao Lingyue quickly found the old Marquis's wing, went up and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Old Marquis' feeble voice came from inside the house.
Xiao Lingyue said nothing and pushed the door open directly.
There was a candle burning in the room, and the light was dim. The old Marquis was sitting alone by the window, with a ring of gauze wrapped around his bruised forehead.
He didn't expect someone to come in without permission, so he raised his head in displeasure: "Shen Wan? What are you doing here?"
The words just fell.
The old Marquis saw Chu Yuanqi again and said with a forced smile: "Isn't this the young Marquis? I'm here suddenly. What's the matter?"
Chu Yuanqi touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing.
Xiao Lingyue asked bluntly: "Grandpa, I heard from the young Marquis that when the Shen family was engaged to the Zhenbei Houfu, they received a jade bracelet as a token. The Zhenbei Houfu came to cancel the engagement, and my father insisted that the jade bracelet was The bracelet is in my hand, how come I don’t know about it?”
The old Marquis' face froze: "..."
"If the young Marquis hadn't come to see me specially today, I wouldn't have known that the Marquis of Zhenbei had come to break off the engagement many times. But my father never told me, and used me as an excuse to say that I refused to hand over the jade bracelet. There is no way to break off the engagement. But I made it very clear at the beginning that I was willing to break off the engagement and all I had to do was ask my father to agree directly. I didn’t expect that my father would go back on my promise and go back on my promise. Wouldn’t this put me in an unjust place?”
Xiao Lingyue said expressionlessly: "I am already married, and now I have a son. It is reasonable for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to break off the engagement. Grandpa, do you know why my father disagrees?"
Old Marquis: "..."
This is asking knowingly.
Shen Zhijiang refused to break off the engagement, so he naturally followed the instructions of the old marquis.
The old Marquis was reluctant to give up the lucrative marriage contract at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and he couldn't bear to show off his face, so he ordered Shen Zhijiang to come forward and put the blame on Shen Wan.
But he never expected that Shen Wan would bring the young marquis to question him in person!
In front of the young Marquis, can the old Marquis admit that he wants to cheat? At his age, he really can't pull off such an old face.
"Is there such a thing?" The old Marquis could only say with a stiff face, "My grandfather is old and usually doesn't care about the affairs of the house. It must be that your father mishandled it. Is there some misunderstanding?"
He winked at Xiao Lingyue desperately.
Xiao Lingyue just pretended not to see it.
She said with a half-smile: "It's not a misunderstanding. It's okay if my grandfather knows. My father has never been reliable in doing things. Now that the young Marquis has come to me personally, I can't be shameless and continue to drag the engaged one down." I have never seen the jade bracelet, and my father never mentioned it at all. Does grandpa know where it is?"
The old Marquis stared at her, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Grandpa no longer cares about these things, you still have to ask your father..."
"Father is still kneeling in front of the Buddhist temple." Xiao Lingyue said quietly, "When my granddaughter came here just now, she saw His Majesty's bodyguards guarding the side. Grandfather wanted me to do it in front of His Majesty's bodyguards. Do you want to ask your father in person?"
Old Marquis: "..."
He believes that Shen Wan can do such a thing! Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
