Chapter 43 Lie King proposes a relative
As soon as he walked to the door of Mu Changming's study, he heard Mu Changming's voice coming from inside, "You have no choice but to teach your child, you are indulging that evil son! You dare to blame Chen'er! You are all spoiled him! Chen'er just spoke for him, you, you really..."
"Who cares that he talks for Ling'er? Ling'er was wronged, so he is a good person..." Because of her only son, Sun was extremely rare to be a man in front of Mu Changming. In the past, she always tried to be a gentle and virtuous wife in front of Mu Changming to prove that even if she was not from a famous family, she could be a qualified wife of the Marquis.
“Who is outside?”
Mu Changming is a martial arts practitioner, and Mu Chen did not deliberately hide his footsteps.
Mu Chen whispered, "Father, it's a child."
Mu Chen pushed open the door and stood at the door. Sun frowned and said, "What are you doing here? Eavesdropping on me and the Marquis's talk?" Sun did not feel ashamed of being knocked out on the spot, but instead was a little aggressive.
Mu Chen looked calm, "Father, the eldest son of the Li family came to visit. He said he was here... to terminate the engagement for Miss Li!"
"What?" Sun screamed. Mu Changming frowned. Mu Chen said that the eldest son of the Li family came to visit him and had a bad premonition. Although the premonition came true, he was not surprised. A family like Li was reluctant when he got engaged to Mu Ling. If it weren't for Princess Gong's words, it would be a bit of a question to say whether the marriage would be agreed to this marriage. Now that Mu Ling has such a thing, it would be strange that the Li family will have to rest.
"Mr.... Li family, Li family is too bullying. He actually wants to break off the engagement at this time. Isn't this what Ling'er is ridiculed by outsiders?" Sun pulled Mu Changming and cried. Next to him, Mu Chen sneered in his heart: If the Li family does not terminate the engagement at this time, the entire Li family should be ridiculed. Sun thought that her son was, and everyone in the world should follow her?
Mu Changming looked at Sun's crying face and frowned. Mu Changming, who belonged to the Li family, could understand it even though he was angry. After all, if his future son-in-law had such a thing, he would have to break the engagement without hesitation. However, if he had a feud with Li, it would be difficult to explain to King Gong.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Forget it, let's go and have a look first."
Sun also followed him out, obviously also wanted to go and see. Mu Changming originally wanted to say something, but when he thought that Sun was Mu Ling's biological mother after all, she would let her go.
When he entered the hall, he saw the eldest son of the Li family sitting in the hall drinking tea. When he saw Mu Changming come in, he quickly got up to greet him, "My younger generation, Li Su, have met the marquis." He ignored Sun's family who was following Mu Changming. Originally, Li Su was a junior, and Li Su was a junior who saw Sun's family. But now, Sun is just Mu Changming's side room. To put it bluntly, it is just a concubine. The eldest son of the Li family, who has already entered the court and has been in the third rank, will naturally not be polite to her anymore.
Others don’t care, but Sun almost turned his face upset. She was born with a humble background, and the one she hated the most was that others looked down on her.
Mu Changming sighed and said, "You don't have to be too polite, please sit down."
Li Su thanked him, sat down on the guest seat and did not go around with Mu Changming. He said directly: "I believe the Marquis knows why I am here today. My younger sister Pu Liu's figure is afraid that she will beat the noble son and ask the Marquis to complete the marriage contract." This was originally considered polite, but at this time, it became in the ears of everyone in the Sucheng Marquis' Mansion: My sister is a girl, and her appetite is not in line with your son. We should just forget about the marriage between our two families.
"It is said that the Li family is a family of books and etiquette. Will it go back on their word?" Sun said in a stern voice. How could Sun not know if her son had any problems with her sleeves? She firmly believed that Mu Ling was framed. At this time, the Li family broke up with an engagement and was clearly a fall insult.
Upon hearing this, Li Su's expression also turned cold and sneered: "Before the engagement, the Sucheng Housing Mansion did not tell the noble son of the Li family that there was such a problem. Although my Li family is not as powerful as the Sucheng Housing Mansion, he is not the one who sells women and seeks honor. When he came down, his grandfather and father both told him that even if the Li family strangled her little sister to death, they could not let her pass. The younger sister also asked me to bring a message to the Marquis. If the Sucheng Housing Mansion does not agree to break off the engagement, marry her body and enter the door."
Suddenly, Mu Changming's face looked ugly. He said this. If he didn't agree, if something really happened to the Li family's daughter, then Sucheng's mansion would really not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the river.
Seeing that Sun wanted to speak, Mu Changming sternly said: "Shut up!"
He scolded Sun's family Mu Changming and was about to make a polite sentence to Li Su. The butler outside the door ran in with small steps while wiping his sweat, "Master...Master, Northern Han, Northern Han Lie is here!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Changming felt a secret toothache. Why did this evil star come? Others fear Ge Shuhan, but what they feared was his reputation. But Mu Changming was different. He was a general who had really taken the order to fight Beirong. He feared Ge Shuhan, but what they feared was his ability and unpredictable temper.
After sighing, Mu Changming didn't dare to delay any further and nodded, "Please come in."
There was no need to invite King Lie. When Mu Changming spoke, Ge Shuhan had already strode in. He looked like he was walking in his own courtyard, and Mu Changming's eyes sank again. Even if King Lie was in the Northern Han position, he was still in China. Such a behavior would be too disrespectful to take the Hua Kingdom and the Sucheng Marquis' Mansion seriously.
"I don't know what is the reason for the arrival of King Lie of Northern Han?" He was displeased. Mu Changming didn't talk too much and asked directly. Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows, but did not go around and laughed loudly, "I am here to propose marriage."
"Proposal?" Mu Changming swallowed a little reluctantly and looked at the man Angzang in front of him in surprise. Although everyone knew that the Northern Han planned to marry China,... the court had not yet chosen the marriage partner? What kind of marriage was mentioned? Mu Changming calmed down and said, "I don't know... King Lie is planning to marry a niece of this marquis? Although the prince is relieved, he can contribute to the peace between China and the Northern Han, so I dare not neglect it." Mu Changming only had four daughters, two got married and one got engaged, but Mu Qingyi was ruined. The only two who could be counted as the daughter of the Sucheng Marquis's Mansion had only two nieces. If Ge Shuhan really fell in love with Mu Yufei or Mu Shuilian, Mu Changming naturally wouldn't care about marrying a concubine's niece far away.
"Niece?" Ge Shuhan frowned and said, "Mr. Sucheng misunderstood. The king wants to marry Mu Qingyi, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Sucheng."
"What?" Wang said in surprise.
Mu Changming frowned, but I don’t know what happened. Die'er has always become weird during this period. After being together for more than 20 years, he even occasionally feels like he doesn’t know her at all. Die'er used to be gentle and sophisticated and would never be so rude.
