The two of them didn't say much and walked forward quietly.
Soon, I arrived at the southwest corner of the temple, where there were large wing rooms, which were located in a relatively remote location.
Many ministers and their families were arranged to live here.
"It's here." According to the little novice monk, Xiao Lingyue quickly found the old marquis' wing room and went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" The old marquis' weak voice came from the house.
Xiao Lingyue didn't say anything and pushed the door straight in.
A candle was lit in the house, and the light was dim. The old marquis was sitting alone by the window, with a circle of gauze wrapped around his broken forehead.
He didn't expect someone to come in without permission and looked up unhappy: "Chen Wan? What are you doing?"
Just finished speaking.
The old marquis saw Chu Yuanqi again and said with a smile: "Isn't this the little marquis? Is there anything wrong with the sudden visit?"
Chu Yuanqi touched his nose awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Xiao Lingyue asked bluntly: "Grandfather, I heard from the young marquis that when the Shen family and Zhenbei Hou Mansion were engaged, they once received a jade bracelet as a token. Zhenbei Hou Mansion came to break the engagement, and my father insisted on the jade. The bracelet is in my hands, why don’t I know about it?”
The old marquis's face froze: "..."
"If the little marquis had not come to me specifically today, I wouldn't have known that the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion had come to the door to break the engagement many times. But my father never told me and used me as an excuse to say that I would not hand over the jade bracelet. I couldn't break off the engagement. But I clearly stated it clearly at the beginning. I was willing to break off the engagement and let my father agree directly. Unexpectedly, my father would disobey and go back on his word. Isn't this putting me in an unjust place?"
Xiao Lingyue said expressionlessly: "I'm already married and now I'm taking my son with me. It's reasonable that Zhenbei Hou Mansion wants to break off the engagement. Grandfather, do you know why my father disagrees?"
Old Marquis: "..."
This is asking clearly.
Shen Zhijiang refused to break off the engagement, so he naturally listened to the instructions of the old marquis.
The old marquis was reluctant to give up the profitable engagement of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and he could not let go of his face and cheated, so he instructed Shen Zhijiang to come forward and push the blame to Chen Wan.
But he never expected that Chen Wan would bring the little marquis to ask him in person!
In front of the little marquis, can the old marquis admit that he wants to cheat? At this age, he really can't help but lose his old face.
"There is such a thing?" The old marquis could only stiffen his face and said arduously, "My grandfather is old and doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion. I guess your father is wrongly dealing with it. Is there any misunderstanding?"
He tried his best to wink Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue just pretended that she didn't see it.
She said with a smile: "It's better if you misunderstand it, it's good that my grandfather knows it. My father has never been reliable in doing things. Now that the little marquis has come to me personally, I can't keep dragging it down with shame. The engaged one I have never seen the jade bracelet before, and my father didn’t even mention it. Does my grandfather know where it is?"
The old marquis stared at her, and his voice squeezed out from his teeth: "Grandfather has no longer cared about these things, you have to ask your father..."
"My father is still kneeling in front of the Buddhist temple." Xiao Lingyue said quietly, "When my granddaughter came here just now, she saw the guards beside His Majesty, and her grandfather wanted me to be in front of His Majesty's personal guards. Go and ask your father in person?"
Old Marquis: "..."
He believed that Chen Wan would definitely do such a thing! Popular『』 This chapter has been completed!
