Chapter 192 Chuan Bai Meets Gu Huai
Madam Zhenguo pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's treat this discussion as a briefing. Madam Lu, please tell Marquis Yongning what the Zhenguo Mansion is thinking."
"The Duke and I will come to your house some other day to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement."
"Does the Duke also agree?" The wife of Marquis Yongning said unwillingly.
Everyone in the capital city knows that the Duke of Zhenguo values keeping his word the most. A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold and cannot be broken even if one dies or lives.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo curled her lips and smiled, "A virtuous wife brings few troubles to her husband. No matter how much he values his promise, he cannot ignore the future of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."
Madam Yongning: ...
This is tantamount to pointing fingers and scolding Minghui for being unvirtuous, unkind, unkind and disrespectful.
If word like this gets out, Minghui will never be able to marry into a good family in her life.
Why is her Minghui's life so miserable?
After living a hard life in the countryside for so many years, he finally found his roots, but had to endure the humiliation of having his engagement broken off.
"I will convey Mrs. Gu's meaning."
"It's just that I can't influence the Lord Hou's intention."
"To make an engagement is a matter of mutual consent, and to break an engagement is also a matter of mutual consent. I hope Madam Gu will understand."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo still had a calm smile on her face. "The Duke will find a way to convince the Marquis of Yongning. There is no need for you and me to worry about it."
The wife of Marquis Yongning felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
How could she not hear that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had already made up her mind to cancel the engagement.
"Let's stop here today." Lady Zhen Guogong stood up and said calmly.
Gu Huai bowed and said, "Madam Hou, Miss Lu, I'm leaving."
Lu Minghui was furious and blurted out, "Prince Gu is determined to break off the engagement with me. Does he want to rekindle his old relationship with Lu Mingchao?"
"She's married!"
The smile on the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's face faded, and she said coldly, "You are really well-educated. I have learned your lesson."
"Madam Yongning should teach your daughter some proper manners."
"Gu Huai is the blood of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Wuxing Shen family. He doesn't need his wife's family to add glory to him. Even if my son wants to continue his relationship with Lu Mingchao, it's fine!"
"The only shortcoming of Lu Mingchao is that she is married for the second time. What about you?"
"Miss Lu!"
"Huai'er, let's go!"
Gu Huai did not stop, and followed the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo further and further away.
Lu Minghui slid weakly to the ground, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, pain and sorrow intertwined.
She burst into tears and was heartbroken.
Since my rebirth, the thing I want to do most is to marry Gu Huai.
But now, Gu Huai wants to cancel the engagement!
Lu Minghui hates!
The summer cicada and the winter snow look at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and they dare not breathe.
Happy, but also scared.
It's retribution.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning raised her hands wearily and said, "You guys go wait under the eaves first."
"Mother, we can't cancel the engagement. We can't cancel the engagement." Lu Minghui threw herself into the arms of the wife of Marquis Yongning like a madman, repeating it over and over again with sobs.
"I don't want to break off the engagement."
The wife of Marquis Yongning patted Lu Minghui on the back, feeling half distressed and half angry at her for not fighting back!
"Mother, I want Lu Mingchao to die!"
Once Lu Mingchao dies, Gu Huai will change his mind.
Madam Yongning: ...
One wrong step leads to all wrong.
At the beginning, they should have firmly kept Lu Mingchao and let him marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Minghui!
"Minghui, this matter still needs the decision of the Marquis."
"Don't worry, even if I have to agree to cancel the engagement, mother will strive for the greatest benefit for you and let the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion become your helper. No one can laugh at you!"
Lu Minghui sobbed, "But my daughter wants to marry Gu Huai."
The stunning glimpse of the previous life is like a seed. The moment it lands in our hearts, it grows into lush branches and leaves and stands tall like a canopy.
It can't be pulled out, and it shouldn't be pulled out.
The wife of Marquis Yongning sighed.
She also wanted Minghui to marry Gu Huai, but Gu Huai didn't want it!
"Mother, can you please help me?"
Madam Yongning: ...
She is not a turtle in the wishing pond and cannot grant every wish.
Outside the Yongning Marquis's mansion, Gu Huai ran into Chuan Bai who came to beg Lu Minghui again.
The doorman pushed Chuanbai out without any explanation, and Chuanbai fell to the ground in a miserable state.
Gu Huai didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the other party blocked his way.
"May I ask if you are the Prince Gu of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion?"
Chuanbai was simply desperate and trying all sorts of methods.
His entire family was sent to a manor in Shunhe County. If he could not get help from the eldest son, his entire family would be doomed.
The eldest lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion avoided him, and he knew that this path was probably not going to work!
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned and asked, "Do you know him?"
Gu Huai's eyes flickered, and he nodded in a mysterious way, "Mother, please go home first, and I will be back later."
Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo: Since Lu Mingchao left Beijing, Huai'er has been acting more and more strange.
In the past, Huai'er would never allow such an unkempt, ragged person to get close to her.
People who have been stimulated cannot say anything.
The man from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion stepped on a low stool and climbed into the carriage slowly with the help of a maid.
Gu Huai took Chuan Bai to the nearest teahouse.
"Who are you?"
Chuanbai knelt on the floor and said hurriedly, "I am Chuanbai from Changhe County, and I am a subordinate of Sun Zhiye, the eldest son of Sun Ji."
Gu Huai frowned and stroked the jade belt around his waist. "You are quite brave."
"Why are you blocking my way?"
In the early spring of next year, he will take up his post in Changhe County.
Changxi Village, where Lu Mingchao lived, was under the jurisdiction of Changhe County.
Chuanbai lowered his head and composed a speech silently in his mind.
Tian Dong's letter said that the eldest son suspected that Lu Mingchao and Xie Yan were just a couple in name only, so he specially ordered Hong Biao to come to the capital to find the old nanny who was banished from the palace for physical examination.
But he waited and waited, but there was no sign of Hong Biao.
It was as if Hong Biao had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Take a gamble!
If you can't ask for the daughter of the Yongning Marquis, then just ask for the prince of the Zhenguo Duke.
Lu Mingchao was once the fiancée of the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo. The bad nature of men in the world is that they will always be restless if they can't get what they want.
A person like Lu Mingchao, even a noble man like the prince of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, might not be able to let go.
Chuanbai thought of the portrait hidden deep in the eldest son's study.
"Please, my Lord, spare the eldest son's life."
Gu Huai looked amused.
Did the story of his past with Lu Mingchao spread to Changhe?
For some reason, Gu Huai felt inexplicably happy, and his brows and eyes relaxed a little without him noticing.
"I have never met him before, and we have no relationship whatsoever. Don't you think your request is excessive and inexplicable?"
Chuanbai raised his head and said, "My Lord, why don't you listen to the news I brought you first?"
Gu Huai became interested. "Tell me about it."
Who made him in such a good mood today!
"Lu Mingchao and Xie Yan's wedding was probably a cover-up and was never consummated."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Huai's pupils shrank and his heart was shocked.
It was shocking, but after the shock, it became clear that this was the way it should be.
Lu Mingchao was a pampered girl who was raised in luxury and loved him deeply. With him in front of her, how could she easily fall in love with a crude hunter?
It is indeed good news.
Double happiness.
"Tell me about your eldest son."
Good news is naturally valuable.
Therefore, he was willing to give Chuanbai some more time.
Good News Bird
