Wen Tian and Fu Youqin both made up their minds to break off the engagement. The mother and son sat in the same place, each holding a cup of tea to taste slowly. Jiao's mother wanted to talk to Fu Youqin several times, but she was scared back by her cold attitude.

Wen Boli seemed to have nothing happened and greeted Jiao’s father.

Wen Tian quietly pricked up his ears and listened to the two of them. Jiao's father kept mentioning a party. It seemed that all scholars and juren from Nanming County would attend, and the county magistrate of Nanming County would be personally presided over.

Wen Tian, ​​who was too deep, didn't understand, but Wen Tian would never forget the county magistrate of Nanming County in his life.

In his previous life, Wen Boli became a local official with the recommendation of the county magistrate of Nanming County. He was good at dancing and supported by the Wen family's financial resources. Later, his career was promoted from a small Sifang Town to Qingyang, the capital of the country.

Just when the family was about to move to Qingyang, Wen Boli brought the outdoor room that he had been hiding into the house.

Bai Ruihe, the outer room, relied on Wen Boli's favor and acted as a blessing in the Wen family. Even the concubine's son Wen Zeming was taken to the banquet by Wen Boli. However, Wen Tian, ​​the eldest son, was spoiled since childhood, was useless and could only watch as the concubine climbed to the head of the main room.

The mother could not stand this idleness and resolutely divorced Wen Boli. However, she did not expect that Wen Boli had already colluded with the government and occupied the property of the Fu family, but instead swept the mother and son out.

Wen Tian clenched his teeth and looked at Jiao's father who was talking. It turned out that the county magistrate who recommended Wen Boli was introduced to Jiao's father.

No wonder they were ridiculed when they came to ask for help from the house. No wonder Jiao Changxian later retired his sister and even killed his sister's child, married Bai Ruihe's niece, and told him a thousand words, but they were just people on the boat.

The fingers hidden in the sleeves were clenched, Wen Tian sat upright and listened to Jiao's father as if he had finished chatting and said casually: "Brother Wen, Changxian and Shuyue's marriage has been delayed a lot. Now Youling is back, and the marriage is not easy to delay any further. I have someone watch the day again. The fifth day of the second month is an auspicious day. What do you think?"

Wen Boli pondered for a moment, glanced at his wife's sudden ugly face, and said carefully: "Is it too urgent on the fifth day of the second month?"

Jiao's mother smiled and agreed: "No hurry, the things are ready-made. If you drag on it, you will have to wait until March on the next auspicious day."

They sang and sang together, and seemed to completely ignore Fu Youqin and Wen Tian who were also sitting above.

Fu Youqin sneered, glanced at her husband who had obviously reached some consensus with the other party, and said coldly: "This marriage cannot be done!"

Jiao Father's expression changed, Jiao's mother said, "My grandmother Qin, we have known each other for many years. I want me to say that this matter should be finalized by the man. Every woman in every family has no knowledge and will not get involved. Shuyue will not be wrong when she marrys the Jiao family."

"Then you ask the entire Wen family who is the one who decides it!"

Fu Youqin stood up, her usual gentle expression condensed into ice, which was so cold that it could remove ice slags. She looked at Wen Boli with a purple face in coldness. In the first time, she did not give her face to her husband. "The plaque at the gate changed its surname to Wen, but it does not mean that the whole family is the one whose surname is Wen. I want to exchange Shuyue for your career, see if I agree first!"

She said as she opposed the housekeeper who was standing beside her, "Tell me out and tell everyone that the Wen family and the Jiao family have terminated the engagement, because Jiao Changxian is not upright and the Wen family is ashamed to be with him."

Wen Ji responded, but didn't even look at Wen Boli beside him. He ran out with his hands in his arms and called a few thick long-term workers to drive them out.

"You are too bullying!" Jiao's father blushed and broke free from the pull of his subordinates, and scolded Wen Boli in anger, "You promised us, this dear will definitely succeed!"

Wen Boli was first exposed to his face by his wife, and then Jiao’s father questioned him like this. He was so angry that he almost vomited and bleeding. However, he had to rely on Jiao’s father’s recommendation to meet the county magistrate. The Wen family was good everywhere, but he had no connections in the officialdom. He was obsessed with the officialdom for half his life, and this opportunity must not be missed.

"Stop messing around, is this the Wen family's way of hospitality? What kind of decent thing?" Wen Boli shouted with a dark face.

The servant paused and looked at the butler hesitantly. The butler didn't even change his expression. He nodded to them, and the workers continued to hold people out.

Jiao's father was still tugging with the servants, and Jiao's mother was protecting her clothes and screaming in surprise. She was wearing the best piece of clothing. If it was broken, she would have no money to buy one.

Jiao Changxian, who had not made any sound, knelt down with a "thump" and said in tears to Fu Youqin: "Auntie, I was framed, please... Please let me meet Shuyue again, she will definitely understand me, I really love her!"

Fu Youqin looked disgusted with her eyes, "Shuyue is also what you deserve to call? I'm afraid you will dirty her eyes."

"Uncle Ji, drag them out directly, why bother talking nonsense?" Wen Tian said after seeing enough of the family's hypocritical attitude.

"Wait a minute." A gentle voice suddenly came from the backstage, and Wen Shuyue and her maid turned out from behind the screen.

"Sister..." Wen Tian looked at her with some concern.

Wen Shuyue shook her head at him and slowly walked to Jiao Changxian, "I'm here now, what do you want to say?"

A bright light appeared in Jiao Changxian's eyes, and he was about to pull Wen Shuyue's hand with tears in his voice. Wen Shuyue took a step back, his expression was no longer happy and angry, and he repeated again, "I am here, what do you want to say?"

Jiao Changxian was stunned for a moment without catching someone, but looking at Wen Shuyue's expression, there was not a complete hope. He just knelt on the ground and didn't get up, looking at Wen Shuyue affectionately, "Shuyue, you have to believe me, those people outside are talking nonsense. That day... I was drugged that day and I couldn't help myself!"

"You know, I have been waiting for you for so many years and finally got you home. How could I do such a bastard? I haven't even had a mate for so many years!"

Wen Shuyue's expression became a little moved. Wen Tian grabbed a heart and thought what he would do if his sister was really convinced.

But when he heard Shuyue speak slowly, "I thought you should at least say sorry to me."

Jiao Changxian was stunned and looked at him for no reason.

"Dengxiu, give me the booklet."

The maid who followed her handed over a booklet. Wen Shuyue handed the booklet to Jiao Changxian. Her voice and movement were still gentle, but it made Jiao Changxian feel a little chilled on his back.

"Look at it."

He opened the booklet and took a look, his face changed.

The above records all the Qinglou women who had a relationship with him, and even the concubines in the outer family who had been kept in a tight manner, clearly listed on it. After turning back, there were even foreign debts owed by the Jiao family.

Wen Shuyue saw that he had lost his soul and was silenced on the ground, and slowly spoke, "Dai Fu sent the news back. I was afraid that I would wrong you, so I asked someone to check it out. I didn't expect you to be even more dirty than I thought."

"The Jiao family insisted that you marry me and enter the house, because it was for my dowry, right?" Wen Shuyue stood up gracefully, and those dirty thoughts were spoken out of her mouth, like a knife cutting on her face. Jiao Changxian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything to refute.

Although the Jiao family is a scholarly family, the family is not rich, and because they have to use huge expenses to maintain the appearance of glory every year, they have already owed a lot of foreign debts. When he got engaged to Wen Shuyue, he might have had a trace of true joy, but over time, his parents always muttered in his ears to coax Wen Shuyue and marry him home as soon as possible. That trace of sincerity was also eliminated in the rebellious straits.

Wen Shuyue looked at him with her eyes down and saw that he was really unable to speak, so she took out a white jade mandarin duck pendant with mutton fat from her sleeve. The jade pendant was a pair, one on her and one on Jiao Changxian. It was presented by Jiao Changxian when she was in the hairpin.

"I will give you the jade pendant back, and we will give up our marriage." Wen Shuyue threw the jade pendant in front of him and turned around and left without any nostalgia.

"Shuyue!" The jade pendant made a crisp sound on the ground, and suddenly broke into two halves. Jiao Changxian looked at her resolute back and finally felt a trace of regret in his heart.

"Bah! Shameless! You can call the lady's name?!" Seeing that he dared to call someone, the maid behind Wen Shuyue returned and spitted on him, and then hurriedly ran back.

"Uncle Ji, take the guests away."

As soon as the farce ended, Jiao's mother wanted to say something, but Jiao Changxian stopped her. The family went out in a mess under the gaze of the servants.

The people passing by watched their clothes come out of the Wen family gate in a mess, and they stopped and whispered curiously.

"Isn't this Young Master Jiao? Why did he look like he was driven out by the Wen family?"

Another person despised: "You don't know this, right? I heard that Young Master Jiao went to the prostitute the night before his wedding. He was happy. After taking medicine, the four girls of Ye Yu did not go out on the day of the wedding."

"This is too shameless!" The onlookers said incredibly: "The Jiao family is all scholars, so do scholars do not want to be so shameless?!"

"Tsk, this kind of reading talent is the most hypocritical..."

The three Jiao family heard the low voice behind them, and they paused but did not dare to turn around. The three of them quickly got onto the carriage and left hurriedly.
