MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 54 call the shots
Chapter 54 54. Call the shots
The faces of everyone present were more exciting than the others.
The prince was puzzled, but the eldest prince was very excited.
What good thing did the Wei family do to make the tough-faced lady of the Xu family so angry?
"Miss Xu, today is a happy day for Your Majesty to marry the Ninth Prince and my granddaughter. If you have any grievances to redress, you can do it later. Don't waste the auspicious time. Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are still waiting for their return in the palace. Woolen cloth."
The hurried Duke Wei shouted loudly as soon as he stepped into the waterside pavilion. His words were not only breathy, but also a bit threatening.
Everyone present is not a fool, so why can’t they hear it?
“Here, please take Miss Xu to the backyard for tea. I will take her back to my house in person later.”
“Wait a minute.”
The eldest prince finally seized the opportunity, but how could he let it go? He walked to Xu Mingyue and comforted her, saying, "What can Miss Xu ask your uncle to do for you? I am also here. If I can help, I will not be stingy." "
He raised his eyes again and saw the darkened face of Duke Wei Guo, and felt extremely comfortable.
The sixth prince looked anxiously on the sidelines, secretly regretting that he should not have come to join in the fun today.
Feng Jinyao looked at his eager expression and remembered that he was on good terms with his eldest brother. If the fire at the city gate affected Chiyu, he might not be able to escape his involvement. If he could help, he would still help.
Xiao Tingyi sat high up, as if watching the faces of all living beings.
He has never been interested in making decisions for others, but this person is the direct granddaughter of Mr. Xu Ge, so he must respect him for his sake.
“What’s the matter with Miss Xu?”
“Your Majesty…”
“Uncle Huang…”
Duke Wei Guo and the Ninth Prince both blurted out, interrupting Xiao Tingyi's question. He pursed his lips and looked at them with cold eyes.
For a moment, they seemed to see the King Ding who had made the decisive decision to kill him back then. The powerful momentum overwhelmed them and they could not breathe.
Xu Mingyue took this opportunity to immediately tell what happened in Mufeng Pavilion just now.
“My Xu family is not a high-ranking family, but our family tradition is pure and does not tolerate such insults. Please let the prince make the decision.”
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily, with no room for change.
"Miss Xu, please get up first. Since it is a matter for the three families of Wei, Liang and Xu, there is no reason to just listen to you. Where are Mr. Liang and Miss Wei? Go and invite them."
"yes."
Yang Zhao strode toward the outside of the water pavilion, accompanied by Prince Ding's personal followers. No one dared to stop him.
The prince who came to announce the decree looked troubled. The auspicious moment had arrived, but he did not dare to speak to urge him. He looked at Duke Wei with anxious eyes.
It would be difficult for him to return to the palace if he delayed the auspicious time.
Gong Wei had never thought that this girl from the Xu family was not afraid of losing her reputation, which would be very difficult.
After a while, Liang Pan was lifted up by Yang Zhao, and Miss Wei was supported by two maids and got off the sedan chair.
His pale face and weak appearance were noticed by everyone.
Wen Yuwei hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said meaningfully, "Sister Wei has suffered a lot. She choked on so much water and must have a good rest. Don't let the root cause of the disease fall."
Liang Pan had never seen such a battle before. His knees were shaking. Although he had changed into a set of clean clothes, he still had no trace of the aristocratic temperament he had in the past. He was obedient and did not dare to look at anyone. He lowered his head and was photographed by Yang. Mentioned in front of Xiao Tingyi. “Are you Liang Pan?”
“What I said to the prince is exactly what I said.”
“Miss Xu wants to break off the engagement, what do you say?”
"I...I..." Liang Pan didn't expect that Xu Mingyue would bring this matter directly to Prince Ding. He was frightened and frightened. He was afraid that if he made an oversight and angered Prince Ding, he would be in big trouble.
"The prince is asking you a question. Why are you hesitating?"
Yang Zhao next to him was most unaccustomed to such a soft-tempered man. He was not strong-willed at all. After all, he was rich and charming in Dongdu City, and most of the young men he raised were strong on the outside but **** the inside.
He had just witnessed Xu Mingyue's determination to break off the engagement. Without the affair with Wei Lanxuan, he would naturally not be willing to do so. But now if he could use this matter to break off the engagement with the Xu family, he would Maybe he can even get into the Wei family and have a good relationship with Wei Lanxuan.
But the shining imperial edict is right in front of him, and he also understands the reason for the banquet today. It offended the royal family and the Wei family, and they crushed him to death like an ant.
I was in a dilemma for a while and really didn’t know how to make a decision.
Seeing this, Duke Wei quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liang, your relationship with the Xu family was determined by your deceased mother. How can you just leave the Xu family girl at her request? You have to think about it. "
With verbal pressure, as long as Mr. Liang disagrees, he will have a way to deal with the matter.
After receiving the imperial edict granting marriage, others will not dare to criticize. By then the Xu and Liang families will cancel their engagement, so they will not care about the affairs of the Wei family.
Wei Lanxuan, who was leaning against the maid, stared at Liang Pan's slightly bowed back in front of her, her eyes red. No one present could tell what her grandfather meant by her words.
At this time, if he could say a word and agree to break off the engagement, then she would dare to follow her life and death and resist the will of the marriage.
Seeing him wavering and not answering for a long time, Wei Lanxuan was heartbroken and coughed violently.
Hearing her voice, Liang Pan turned back hastily, his eyes full of worry.
“Lan’er…”
This voice in desperation betrayed too much friendship. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"What happened today is all my fault. I have no face to face Miss Xu. Since she wants to break off the engagement, I should agree to it."
Xu Mingyue didn't give Duke Wei a chance. As soon as Liang Pan finished speaking, she spoke loudly again, "Young Master Liang also has this intention. I hope the prince can be a witness. After today, the Xu and Liang families will have no in-laws. "
“Not allowed.”
The Duke of Wei hurriedly stepped forward, and this time he spoke not to the two of them, but to Prince Ding.
"Your Majesty, I invite you here today not to fight for the divorce of the Xu and Liang families. The prince has been waiting for a long time, so let him announce the decree first."
Once the imperial edict is announced, the overall situation will be decided, and no amount of rumors will be able to disrupt their plans.
Feng Jinyao had planned a lot to achieve such a situation, how could he be allowed to destroy it.
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. If what happened today had not happened, Sister Xu would not have rashly proposed to break off the engagement. Mr. Liang acted righteously and entered the water to save Miss Wei. In full view of the public, the two of them became intimately connected. Under such circumstances, if you declare a marriage decree, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the Ninth Prince’s face?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the Ninth Prince, who had been silent, and saw that his face was indifferent, and his eyes looked at Wei Lanxuan with a hint of disgust.
The matter of skin-to-skin intimacy was just Feng Jinyao's words, but it made the Ninth Prince have to think about it.
