Xiao Lingyue said coldly: "This is written by Lord Shen himself, why can't it be counted?"
The old Marquis said angrily: "Because I don't agree!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Master Shen is my biological father. According to the laws of the Northern Qin Dynasty, the knotting letter written by him is valid. Even if the old marquis does not approve it, it is written in black and white, and it is already too late."
"you!"
The old marquis was so angry that he almost died.
In front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch who announced the decree, he was not easy to curse, and stared at Shen Zhijiang as if he wanted to eat someone.
"You bastard, who allowed you to write a book about cutting and knotting?!"
Shen Zhijiang was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and stammered: "Father...I..."
Aunt Hua hurriedly said: "Old Marquis, you can't blame me for this, it's Shen Wan..."
The old Marquis glared at her: "Shut up!"
Don't think that he doesn't know. Aunt Hua must have fanned the flames. Otherwise, with Shen Zhijiang's indecisive character, how could he write the conclusion so quickly?
Aunt Hua was so frustrated that she had no choice but to shut up.
The old Marquis took a few breaths, looked up at the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch who announced the decree, and suppressed his anger and said: "Please forgive me, both of you. Our family is unfortunate and something like this has happened. This knot was written when I didn't know it." I don’t agree with it as it is written, and it cannot be counted.”
Xiao Lingyue sneered: "What the old Marquis said makes no sense. The cutting letter was written by Mr. Shen. He wants to expel me from the house. It seems that he doesn't need the old Marquis's consent, right?"
The old Marquis said angrily: "I am your grandfather, and if I say no, I can't!"
He didn't know yet that Xiao Lingyue was rewarded by His Majesty.
It's just that "Shen Wan" is still tied to a marriage contract and is still valuable to the Shen family, so the old Marquis cannot let her leave the Shen family no matter what.
It's okay to leave.
First keep the engagement contract and transfer it to the other daughters of the Shen family.
Without the use value, the old Marquis would naturally not hold on to "Shen Wan" anymore. When he wanted to kill "Shen Wan", he had the idea of transferring the engagement.
But not yet.
The old marquis refused to agree and did not approve of this knotting document.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were also in a dilemma for a while.
The laws of the court are one thing, but after all, this kind of thing is also a household matter, and if it is not sorted out, it will become chaotic.
Xiao Lingyue saw the embarrassment of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and said calmly: "There is a clear rule in the court that it is feasible for parents to write a letter of separation and voluntarily sever ties. The old Marquis is only my grandfather, not my parents. I am afraid he has no right to interfere with me." Things between Mr. Shen and his daughter."
The old Marquis looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Am I wrong?" Xiao Lingyue looked at him sarcastically, and then looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch who announced the decree, "Is it true that there are regulations in Northern Qin that allow my grandfather to forcibly remove the written knot book?"
Old Marquis: "..." This is of course impossible.
The laws of the Northern Qin Dynasty only stipulated the relationship between parents and children, but did not include the grandparents of the previous generation.
Xiao Lingyue also took advantage of a loophole in the law.
"Ahem, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the government recognizes the severance of relations with their children if parents write a knotting letter in their own hand. If the old marquis does not agree, why not stop it before the knotting letter is written?"
The official from the Ministry of Rites said politely.
The old Marquis suppressed his anger and said, "I didn't know about this beforehand. When I arrived, the knot-cutting book had already been written."
The official of the Ministry of Rites showed a regretful look, shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do. Now that the knot book has been written, the relationship between father and daughter is over. The old Marquis can only blame the person who wrote the book."
There is no way I can blame Miss Shen.
This wasn't written by her. This chapter has been completed!
