Chapter 120
Chapter 120
Wei Ruolan actually calmed down on the way home, and when she stepped into the gate of Dingweihou Mansion, she was worried about losing face with her youthful spirit, so she didn't tell the elders in the family immediately that she had suffered in the Li family. thing.
The old man and the old lady didn't even know that Brother Lan would go to see Miss Li today.
Although Fu Li and Brother Jin knew that Wei Ruolan would come back first, in their imagination, Wei Ruolan would definitely spend more time with Miss Li today to cultivate their relationship, and the time of returning would definitely be relatively late , so when Wei Ruolan deliberately concealed it, the two of them never found out about his early return.
Wei Ruolan's thinking is that although he was implicated innocently, Miss Li and her lover may not have meant it, so even though he was very unhappy to belittle himself, he did not intend to treat people as enemies, and must let Miss Li "Retribution".
But this marriage must be withdrawn. What Wei Ruolan wants to find is a lover who is happy with each other, not a wife who lives with other men in her heart.
So Wei Ruolan thought, put this matter down first, wait until she finds a suitable time, and then propose to terminate the engagement with the Li family, this will also minimize the old lady and others' dislike towards Miss Li
Wei Ruolan didn't care what the old lady and others thought of the Li family. After all, this messy marriage was caused by the Li family's concealment first, which led to the current result. No matter what the old lady and others wanted to do to Li He has no opinion on what the family does, but Miss Li and her lover, especially her lover, are obviously as innocent as he is.
It's just that Wei Ruolan's good intentions were destined to go in vain, because not long after he came back, the head of the Li family and the mistress brought Miss Li and his lover to Dingweihou's mansion to apologize.
Wei Ruolan, who learned about this from the servant who came to call for someone: "..."
Keke, it's normal.
Wei Ruolan thought of the huge disparity in status between the Dingweihou Mansion and the Li family, and understood the reason for the Li family's eagerness to ask for forgiveness from the Dingweihou Mansion.
When Wei Ruolan arrived at the reception hall, the old man, the old lady and Fu Li had already arrived, and the four members of the Li family had already sat in their seats.They just lowered their heads one by one, as if they had no face to meet people.
Looking at this scene, Wei Ruolan couldn't help sighing, then walked to the center, saluted the three elders, saluted the two elders of the Li family, and sat down.
Long before Wei Ruolan came over, the Li family had already explained everything clearly
Because Wei Ruolan was in the house, they didn't dare to lie, the so-called old lady and the three knew about this matter clearly.
Fu Li really felt sorry for Lan Ge'er. After Li's family told them everything, she couldn't help thinking that Lan Ge'er was full of expectations to visit Li's house as a guest to meet her fiancée. Cultivate a relationship with the fiancée, but who knows that the fiancée is arguing with the lover...
Just thinking about it, you can see how much blow Lang Geer suffered at that time.
On the other hand, Fu Li couldn't help but blame himself for this
Today, if she and Brother Jin hadn't urged Lan Geer to buy gifts for Miss Li, and urged him to meet Miss Li, he wouldn't have encountered such an embarrassing thing.
Lang Geer noticed Fu Li's gaze, smiled at her and shook his head.
He roughly guessed what Fu Li was thinking, but Lan Geer didn't think that this matter had anything to do with Fu Li.He even felt that if Fu Li had not asked him to visit Li's house today, he would not have known that his fiancée had been in love with other men for a long time.
According to the situation of the Li family, even if Ms. Li wanted to belong to her, she could only be forced to separate from her lover in the end, and then marry him, a fiancé who was "inferior" to her lover except for his status.At that time, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to learn the truth again in my life.
Seeing that Brother Lang seemed to have figured it out, and there was nothing hidden in his eyes, Fu Li couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Before, she felt that Brother Lan was not enlightened, and that she hadn't met Miss Li even once after she got engaged. Dou Weikai, otherwise, if the relationship has been cultivated, and then he is hit by his lover's heart, Lang Ge'er's eyes may not be as clear and calm as they are now.
Because of Lan Ge'er's performance, Fu Li's anger at the Li family's fraudulent marriage has even subsided a little.
However, even if her anger subsided a bit, she couldn't bear the fact that her girl's sweetheart belonged to someone else from the Li family, and she wanted to use this to establish an in-law relationship with the Dingwei Hou Mansion, and she planned to make the Li family Pay the due price for this.
Now the fact that the Li family wants to hide has been known by Dingweihou Mansion, and even Wei Ruolan, the person involved, whose family background is not as good as that of the Li family in Dingweihou Mansion. When they were human, they naturally lowered their heads, and when they didn't speak, they almost didn't dare to speak rashly.
In the face of them, the Li family would never dare to make mistakes.
For a while, the scene became awkward.
The old man and the old lady were sitting at the top, looking at the Li family members with rather unfriendly eyes, as if they were about to drive them out of the gate of Dingweihou Mansion in the next moment.They all have such expressions, and it is obviously impossible to speak.
As for Fu Li, he felt sorry for Lan Ge'er who suffered such an embarrassing betrayal at a young age, so naturally he would not feel sorry for the Li family.
But Lan Ge'er accidentally saw Miss Li who was sitting diagonally across from him being raped by her mother.
Holding on to each other, her pretty little face has turned pale, and it makes people feel distressed just looking at it.Lang Ge'er didn't feel distressed, but before the engagement was terminated, she was still his fiancée after all. She was treated like this by her parents in front of her eyes, and Lang Ge'er couldn't pretend that she didn't see it.
Lan Geer looked at the three elders, sighed slightly, and said: "Since Mr. Li came to the door in person, he should already know what happened to me in Li's residence before. I wonder what your plans are when you come to the door today?"
Brother Lang opened his mouth, and the three of them couldn't continue to ignore the Li family, so they could only get serious, and all their eyes fell on Mr. Li, who was the leader.
Master Li was full of bitterness. He got up and bowed to the two old people and Fu Li one by one, and then said: "Before today, I didn't know that my daughter and brother Ren had communicated with each other. If I knew in advance, I would definitely not let my wife do it." This kind of offensive thing happened. But the mistake has already been made, and I can only try my best to make up for it. Whether it is a divorce or compensation, I have no second thoughts. Get the word out."
Fu Li froze for a moment, then turned to look at the old lady.
This world is harsh on women, if the real reason for retiring the engagement gets out, I'm afraid Miss Li's marriage...
wrong!
Fu Li frowned, and looked at Master Li with a bit of scrutiny.
Although the current world is very harsh on women, if Miss Li marries her own cousin, even if it gets out, others will only regard this as a good story, and will not cause too much impact on Miss Li , on the contrary, as the betrayed party, Lang Geer will be more affected
His fiancée married someone else, and it was inevitable that some troublesome people who were jealous of Lange would laugh at him.
Fu Li couldn't figure out whether this Lord Li said this to please the Dingweihou Mansion, or whether he had other plans for Miss Li's marriage, so he couldn't help being a little more concerned about this Lord Li.
The old lady glanced lightly at Mr. Li: "It's natural, such a shameful thing, are we still willing to publicize it everywhere, and then attract others to see the joke of our Dingweihou Mansion?"
Master Li pretended not to hear the sarcasm in the old lady's tone, and nodded gratefully.
This is obviously a normal practice, but the image of Mr. Li in Fu Li's heart is more disobedient. What he says and does always makes people feel that he has an ulterior motive.
But this matter has nothing to do with the Dingweihou Mansion, and Fu Li doesn't intend to intervene.
Afterwards, the three of Fu Li said many things that made things difficult for the Li family, and the Li family agreed to them all without retaliation. Got angry.
Master Li only put forward one condition, that is, the reason for the "broken marriage" of the two families given to the outside world, hoping that "the eminent monk of Xiangguo Temple said that Wei Ruolan, the general of the Dingweihou Mansion, and the Li family did not agree. If they get married, not only will the marriage not go well in the future, but they may also interfere with each other, so they cannot be married."
The old lady was originally unwilling to agree to this request. Judging from what she meant, the reason was naturally good, but she just wanted to say that after the two got married, Brother Lang would be in danger.
Only in this way can the depression in the old lady's heart dissipate
This marriage not only hurt Lan Ge'er, but even the old lady was cheated. After Li's visit to explain the reason clearly, she has been suffocating in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li is unwilling to make concessions on this point, so he even proposed that one-third of the Li family's property can be compensated to Weihou Mansion.
Although the Li family's wealth is not as rich as that of the Dingweihou Mansion, it is not considered poor in the capital. One-third of the Li family's property is still a large amount of income for the Dingweihou Mansion.
Master Li is willing to give away one-third of his family property for the sake of his daughter, which is already very sincere.
But this is not what the three people in Dingweihou's Mansion value.
Because Fu Li was very concerned about Mr. Li's idea, he didn't express any opinion on it, but the old man and the old lady were moved by Mr. Li's love for daughters. After discussing, they finally agreed to Mr. Li's proposal. ask.
However, the two old men did not agree to the compensation with the Li family, but decided to wait for Wei Yan to come back and ask his opinion before deciding whether to accept it.
And Lang Ge'er didn't say a word except for breaking the awkward atmosphere in the hall at the beginning.
Unlike the three elders who had been staring at Mrs. Li, Lan Geer's eyes had been on the silent Mrs. Li, and Miss Li and her cousin who were sitting below her.
After the old lady and Mr. Li had discussed the marriage of the two families, and impatiently served tea to see off the guests, Brother Lang hesitated to speak, and said what he had seen and heard just now: "Mother, we are just like this." Is it really okay to agree to Master Li's request?"
Fu Li was stunned: "Could it be that Brother Lan is still not relieved? It's just that since we have agreed to Mr. Li's request, we can't go back on our word. So if you are not satisfied with the result, you can only wait for your father to come back, and then let him Do something to the Li family."
Hearing the words, the two old men seemed to regret that they agreed too quickly just now.
The old lady even said directly: "There is no breach of trust or not. It was the Li family's fault in the first place. Even if we go back on our word, the Li family can't do anything to us in Dingweihou Mansion. It's just that you can't do anything, Brother Lang." Think about it clearly, concealing the reason for the divorce is also good for your reputation. If we tell the real reason, you will inevitably hear it among your peers in the future.
Some bad words. "
Brother Lang shook his head again and again: "I don't think that the old lady has not handled this matter well, it's just..." He frowned, "After hearing that you agreed to Master Li's request just now, Miss Li and her cousin seem to be Not happy, even Mrs. Li's face is not half happy."
Fu Li raised her eyebrows, it seems that the sense of disobedience she felt in Mr. Li before was not her own illusion.
but……
Fu Li smiled and looked at Lang Geer: "If you have no objection to the result of this treatment, then this matter is finalized. As for the matter of the Li family, tomorrow the old lady and I will bring you and Miss Li. Geng Tie went to Xiangguo Temple, and after returning, he can directly annul the engagement. At that time, our Dingweihou Mansion will have nothing to do with the Li family. No matter what the Li family is hiding, as long as it has nothing to do with our Dingweihou Mansion relationship, we naturally don’t need to worry about it.”
After all, judging from Master Li's actions and what Lan Geer said, the Li family is obviously dissatisfied with Miss Li's cousin as a son-in-law candidate, and wants to use Miss Li, the only daughter of the Li family, to climb another high branch.
This is not something that Dingweihou Mansion can manage.
Lang Geer thought of what happened to him, but didn't say anything.
In order to prevent the Li family from having other plans, Fu Li made people pay attention to the movement of the Li family after that, so he knew that after the divorce of the Dingweihou Mansion, the Li family did not take long to book another house for Miss Li. good family matters
Although the new in-laws of the Li family are not as good as those in Dingweihou's mansion, they are obviously much more powerful than Miss Li's cousin.
And with the lessons learned from the Dingweihou Mansion, the Li family has already expelled the young master Biao, who had lived in the Li family for many years, out of the Li family in order to avoid any more accidents.
However, these things have nothing to do with Dingweihou's mansion. After Fu Li heard about it, he turned his head and left it behind, and didn't take it to heart.
Instead, she cared more about what the Li family had promised before, that they would pay one-third of the Li family's property to Dingweihou Mansion.However, after Wei Yan heard about this matter, he quickly resolved it properly.
The Li family promised to give one-third of their family property to the Dingweihou Mansion, maybe it was to please, or maybe it was because they were sure that the Dingweihou Mansion would not accept it in order not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, so they were so generous.But after Wei Yan learned about it, in order to vent his anger on Lan Geer, he directly stabbed the matter in front of Emperor Yonghe.
Emperor Yonghe and Wei Yan grew up together. Before Lang Geer went to Bazhou Mansion, he had met Lang Geer a few times. I heard that such a thing happened to Lang Geer. Don’t worry. Said that he just nodded and agreed to the Dingwei Hou Mansion to accept the gift, even if he was asked to punish the Li family to vent their anger for Lang Geer, he would agree.
However, Wei Yan was not the kind of person who waited without winking. After receiving one-third of the Li family's property, he decisively divided it into two, and then directly handed over one part to the state treasury.
After the Li family heard about this, they didn't dare to complain at that time. The whole family was cautious, worried about attracting the emperor's attention.
However, Dingweihou's mansion was busy again with Lang Ge'er's marriage. The old lady also started to organize the banquet that had not been held for several months.However, with the many banquets before, Lang Geer's marriage candidates are obviously easier to find than before.
It's a pity that the banquet was only held, and Lang Geer found the old lady and Fu Li, and said bluntly that he didn't want to get engaged so early.
Facing the inquiry from Fu Li and the two of them, Wei Ruolan seriously replied: "Now I am fully focused on practicing martial arts and learning the art of war, and I don't have much time for other chores. I never thought about getting married before." Afterwards, I have to get in touch with my fiancée, and most of the marriages are done by the old lady and my mother, so I don’t seem to have much to do with it, so I don’t feel much about it. But if I have to devote a lot of energy to my fiancée, it will even delay me I am not willing to learn martial arts and art of war."
He glanced at Fu Li and saw that she had a normal expression. She didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his words, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After he breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly cheered up and faced the old lady.
Langeer knew that the only obstacle left in his decision was the old lady.
The old lady really did not agree with Wei Ruolan's decision: "The so-called starting a family and establishing a career, you have no family, what kind of career do you have? What's more, you want to delay your marriage for the sake of learning martial arts. It is absolutely impossible for me to do this. I agree." She looked at Brother Lang, and persuaded him earnestly, "You have to know, there are only a few good girls who are suitable, so don't hurry up and make appointments, wait until all the good girls in the back are booked, How can you marry a suitable wife? What's more, you have high requirements, beautiful and straightforward, and you must be capable and capable. Such a girl is sought after by a family of women. If you don't fight for it now, you will be able to in the future. You can only watch them happily marrying you back home."
Brother Lang couldn't help sighing: "But even if I make an appointment now, when I go to the battlefield in the future, they won't necessarily wait for me?"
The old lady was dissatisfied: "Can't you go to the battlefield after you get married?"
Brother Lang shook his head firmly: "Father has already promised me that he will let me go to the battlefield after I can leave the army. According to my current strength, I will be able to meet my father's requirements in two or three years. In order to go to the battlefield, I have put in so much effort, if I meet the standard to be able to go to the battlefield, I will definitely go to the battlefield soon, and it is absolutely impossible to stay in the capital just to get married."
After a pause, he persuaded, "Old lady, why delay those good girls?"
The author has something to say: Is there a second watch before twelve o'clock?
