Chapter 157: Is today’s show exciting?
Qi Mubai didn't want to say it, but facing Su Huaiyuan, he had to say it.
The situation changed in an instant and he really didn't expect it, so he didn't know how to start for a moment.
Seeing the patriarch standing aside, he came up with an idea.
"The clan leader came to me and said that he didn't want Shengsheng to be included in the clan tree. He threatened me with my marriage to Zhiyi and asked me to help find a solution."
"I don't know anything else except that Shengsheng and I grew up in the same village. It just so happened that I wanted to bring my mother to Beijing, so I asked her to bring a few people from the same village with us."
"As for why Big Face Wu said that, I don't know either."
The three clan leaders were shocked and looked at each other.
The clan leader: "You... the number one scholar, it's obviously you..."
Qi Mubai sighed, "I know you don't like Shengsheng, and you look down on me, thinking that I am of low birth, but I studied hard, was chosen as the number one scholar by the emperor, and was favored by the prince. I will only tell you the facts, and I'm sorry for anything else."
Hearing him mention the emperor, the prince, and the clan leader, all three of them choked. How could they not hear the threat in his words?
Yu Shengsheng chuckled: "The clan leader is so capable that he can threaten you and use your marriage with Su Zhiyi as a threat. Wasn't your marriage arranged by the emperor? Can these three old men still influence it?"
The clan leader didn't care about much at this time and nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
Qi Mubai tilted his head to look at Yu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, are you still angry and unhappy about Zhiyi and I getting married?"
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, and a sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of her mouth: "If you can't ask for it, why are you dissatisfied? You'd better not change the subject."
Qi Mubai's heart clenched. Yu Shengsheng knew him too well.
How great it would have been if there had been no inducement from the prince and no Su Zhiyi, and it was Yu Shengsheng that he proposed to in the hall.
Before Qi Mubai could speak, Su Huaiyuan put away the whip and spoke in a tone even harsher than the whip.
"Qi Zhuangyuan, your marriage with Zhiyi was granted by the emperor. I will not comment on it for now, but I will write a memorial to the emperor to state the truth and ask him to cancel the marriage."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and their expressions varied.
Su Zhiyi clenched her hands, her eyes flashing with joy. This was great. She didn't want to marry such a man. It was bad enough that he was of humble status, but he was also so dishonest.
Su Yanshu was also very happy. He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask the prince for help in the future. It would be best if his father was willing to step forward.
Yu Shengsheng saw their changing expressions and became even more confused.
Su Zhiyi looked down on Qi Mubai, which she could understand, but why was Su Yanshu so excited?
If Qi Mubai marries Su Zhiyi, there will be one more person in the prince's camp, and Su Yanshu will also be able to help Qi Mubai, which should be a good thing for him.
Why doesn't he want to?
It's really strange and bizarre.
Su Zhiyi suddenly said, "Father, I agree with you and cancel the engagement."
Madam Su exclaimed: "Zhiyi, this..."
How could this be possible? Su Zhiyi had already called off the engagement with the Shen family once. It was not easy for the emperor to grant the marriage, and this honor finally overshadowed the previous rumors and slanders. If she called it off again...
What to do in the future?
Mrs. Su put her arm around Su Zhiyi's shoulders, loving her very much.
Su Zhiyi lowered her eyes, disgust hidden in her eyes. She wanted to break free but couldn't force herself.
An ignorant woman will only see the immediate benefits.
Su Huaiyuan frowned and said, "Step aside."
Su Zhiyi took the opportunity to say, "Mother, please listen to father. I believe that father is doing this for my own good."
Qi Mubai was a little anxious: "I know what you mean, General, this is not possible."
Yu also shouted, "Yes, how can this be? The emperor grants marriage, which is a great honor. Others can't even ask for it. You still want to withdraw. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Qi Mubai turned his head and looked at her: "Stop talking."
Yu pursed her lips and stopped talking. When she saw Yu Shengsheng beside her, she rolled her eyes again.
Yu Shengsheng didn't even look at her.
Jin Baobao didn't tolerate her. He quietly picked up a small stone, found the right angle, and threw it hard at her butt.
Qi Mubai just opened his mouth: "General, the heavens and the earth can bear witness to my understanding..."
Before she finished expressing her loyalty, Yu screamed "Ah" and covered her butt with her hands.
Jin Baobao took a deep breath and said, "Wow, why are you covering your butt? You don't really have a red birthmark, do you?"
Yu turned her head and glared at him: "So what? What does this have to do with you? You little bitch, you have no manners."
Qi Mubai choked back the rest of his words. Su Huaiyuan sneered, "Forget it, Qi Zhuangyuan, I have heard enough of today's farce. We have more important things to do. Please take your people and leave."
After being ordered to leave, Qi Mubai lost all his face.
He was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
Yu stepped forward and said, "You are not still thinking about recognizing Yu Shengsheng, are you? Let me tell you, this girl has a very tough life. Her adoptive parents are dead, and she might die sooner or later..."
"Shut up!" Su Huaiyuan shook the whip.
Yu was so frightened that she shuddered and took a few steps back. She accidentally stepped on a stone and her body tilted, falling towards Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng didn't dodge, nor did he even move.
Yu fell down, and Yu Shengsheng also fell to the side, supporting himself on the ground with his hands.
With a "snap", the jade bracelet broke.
A smile flashed across Yu Shengsheng's eyes. Just right.
When the old lady saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched and her heart ached.
That is a top quality jade bracelet, and the key is that it has been blessed by the abbot in the temple. It is priceless!
I had originally thought of selling it at a good price, letting Yu Shengsheng wear it for a few days, and then finding an excuse to get it back.
Who would have thought!
Yu fell down, grimacing in pain. She turned around and saw a smile in Yu Shengsheng's eyes, and she had a bad feeling.
Turning her head and seeing the broken jade bracelet, she didn't care about the pain and got up to cover her wrist.
"You fell down by yourself, it's none of my business, I won't compensate you!"
Jin Baobao helped Yu Shengsheng up, made sure she was okay, pinched her waist and scolded: "What a jerk! You're the mother of the top scholar, and you don't mind being shabby. I think you're worse than the mother of a peddler."
"If you break someone else's things, you have to pay for it. Even a child knows this, but you don't. You are so shameless."
Qi Mubai couldn't stand this: "I will compensate you."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "General, I'm afraid today's matter should not be continued. I'll take my leave first."
She turned and left. Su Huaiyuan wanted to scream, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Back in the yard, Jin Baobao was laughing so hard that he was bent over, and he kept talking to Nanny Zhou who came over to greet him.
Yu Shengsheng let them chat and laugh in the yard and went into the house alone.
As soon as he lifted the curtain, he paused and turned back to the corridor.
"Leopard, watch over the yard. No one is allowed to enter the house without my order."
"yes!"
Yu Shengsheng turned around and walked back to the outer room, took a deep breath, and lifted the curtain to enter the room.
She lowered her eyes, and the bright red in her sight made her heart tighten.
"Greetings, Commander."
Fu Qingyin sat on a chair, flipping through the booklet she had drawn: "Did you draw this?"
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Yes."
"Interesting," Fu Qingyin changed the subject, "Is today's show exciting?"
