Chapter 43 Mrs. Tang Monk

Silence, absolute silence.

Without Madam Bai's continuous output, Ji Que felt that the whole world was quiet.

This feeling is undoubtedly because the principal has finally finished talking about three points, which is a relief.

A gust of wind blew, and the flower arrangement on the table swayed slightly.

Mrs. Bai closed her slightly parted red lips and said with disbelief: "What did you just say?"

Ji Que took out the engagement letter from his arms and said: "Auntie, you are right. How can the decisions of the older generation restrict people today? Miss Bai is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and she is the best among all.

A genius in cultivation, but a mere scholar below, will never be able to match him in his lifetime. If he dares not to reach high, he will not force himself."

He answered politely, but the maid next to him still hasn't reacted yet.

Why is it different from what you imagined?

The maid couldn't help thinking: "Maybe I misjudged him. It's not that he's not greedy, but he's just more short-sighted than I thought. He probably wants some money as compensation. I can't blame him. People from a small place are poor.

So long.

Huh, that must be the case."

At this time, Mrs. Bai came back from her thoughts and tried: "But the kindness of this half sesame seed cake?"

Ji Que said hurriedly: "This sesame seed cake is just a sesame seed cake after all. I think the Bai family has a big business, so why not give me ten sesame seed cakes? No, how about a hundred? If it spreads around, it can be considered a drop of kindness."

Quan Xiang repaid you."

I had just figured it out, thinking that Ji Que was short-sighted and wanted the lion's mouth for money. The eyes of the maid were stagnant again, and a "?" slowly appeared on her forehead again.

You want sesame cakes? How could they be sesame cakes!

For a moment, the entire hall fell into mysterious silence again.

After a moment, Mrs. Bai, who was thoughtful, shook her head and said, "No, this marriage cannot be canceled."

Ji Que's heart trembled and he said: "Aunt, it doesn't have to be so troublesome to break off the engagement, right? As long as you and uncle agree, there is no reason for your children to disobey."

Mrs. Bai said calmly: "Nephew Ji Xian, this matter is not that simple."

Ji Que: "???"

"If you really took the sesame cakes from my house and broke off the engagement, what would people outside say about our Bai family? They would definitely say that our Bai family bullied others, regardless of the old man's last wish, humiliated people with sesame cakes, and broke off the engagement.

When the news spreads all over the city, where will my Bai family's face be put? In the end, in order to save face, not only must we continue to fulfill the engagement, but I'm afraid there will be other troubles." Mrs. Bai analyzed it seriously.

The maid next to her suddenly realized that the madam was indeed smart. This young man had hidden his thoughts very deeply. He seemed to have an innocent heart on the first level, but in fact he was hiding murderous intent on the third level.

Ji Que looked shocked and said, "Auntie, not many people know about this engagement, and I was the one who initiated the dissolution of the engagement. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how could it spread all over the city?"

Mrs. Bai showed a half-smiling expression and said, "There are not many people in this city who know about this engagement. Everyone in the house knows that my father was drunk and talked nonsense. Who knows who he told."

"Then I'll make a written statement saying that it was me who initiated the dissolution of the engagement," Ji Que said.

Mrs. Bai shook her head and said: "The outside world will say that we forced you to sign this contract. After all, there is a big gap between you and Ling Shuang. No matter how you terminate the engagement today, the outside world will think that

We forced you to do it."

"How can people outside control things so leniently?"

Ji Que found that things were not as simple as he thought, and his eyes that originally saw hope lost their sparkle again.

"You don't know how powerful the big mouths of those boring people outside and the writings of major pen writers can make you so angry that you vomit blood." Mrs. Bai said with a look of taboo.

It can be seen that this wealthy family values ​​their reputation.

But I am here to break off the engagement.

At this time, Ji Que could no longer remain calm and said, "Auntie, I'm telling you the truth. I can't help but not even get admitted to be a scholar, and I'm even more unlucky."

"Unlucky?"

"I often step on shit when I go out. Flying bricks will hit me, bamboo poles will prick me. I'll either encounter thieves or robbers. I even encountered a tiger when I went out. People like me have something to do with the White House.

, isn’t it a drag on the White House?” Ji Que said with a sincere expression.

Phew!

Phew!

Mrs. Bai and the maid burst out laughing almost at the same time.

After all, Mrs. Bai came from a wealthy family. She quickly stopped smiling and said, "Xiannephew, why do you have to tell these nonsense jokes? Besides, if you are really so unlucky, what will Mr. Ji do to my Bai family?"

Thank you for your kindness, we absolutely have no reason not to help you."

"I know some prestigious Taoist monks who may be able to help you."

Hearing this, Ji Que almost vomited blood.

Why is the divorce break-up different from the imagined plot?

"Then Auntie, how can I break off the engagement?" Ji Que said still unwillingly.

Mrs. Bai slowly took a sip of tea and said: "According to what I said at the beginning, my nephew, by gaining a higher starting point, you have accepted the favor of my Bai family. After a few years, if you and Lingshuang still have bad compatibility,

It is not too late to choose to call off the engagement.

When the time comes, you will achieve higher status and achievements, and our Bai family will do our best to repay the kindness, and others will not say anything more."

Ji Que looked confused and said to himself, "But I don't want to do this."

His current life goal is to travel, not to get promoted and make money.

Ji Que couldn't help but said: "Madam, what if I insist on breaking off the engagement today?"

"There is really no way to retreat, even if the master comes."

"Why?"

"That girl Lingshuang has been independent since she was a child. We rarely care about her affairs and can't do anything about her. You know, she is now much more popular than me and the master."

Ji Que covered his tight chest and said, "You can't make the decision, why do you have to tell me so much?"

Mrs. Bai said: "My dear nephew, although you and I have met for the first time, you are an old friend after all, and since you are new here, it is appropriate to give you some guidance. You can stay at the house for a few days first, so that I can live a good life."

"No need! When will Miss Lingshuang return home?"

He thought that if he stayed here, Mrs. Bai would probably have to give him endless explanations, which would make him very confused, and he would not dare to stay any longer.

Ji Que finally understood one thing, that is, the previous communication was all in vain, and he could only go to the right person in this matter.

He miscalculated Bai Lingshuang's status and voice in the family.

The so-called orders from parents are only valid for ordinary people.

Madam Bai took another sip of tea and said calmly: "Lingshuang is traveling and practicing. I really don't know about this. It will take a month or two at least."

Ji Que quickly raised his hand and said, "Auntie, I won't bother you again until Miss Bai comes back."

Seeing that Mrs. Bai was about to speak again, he immediately walked out without looking back.

As soon as he reached the courtyard, Ji Que paused and looked to the right.

There, a girl leaned out, with excitement and shyness in her eyes, and said: "Brother-in-law."
