Chapter 231
Thinking of this, Huo Yunxuan straightened his back, looked at Zhu Jingchen at the head of the table, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Miss Li and I are in love. I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold to the court to ask Your Majesty to dissolve the engagement between Miss Li and Prince An and grant my deep affection for Miss Li."
Huo Yunxuan felt that the biggest problem between him and Li Zhiwei was that the Emperor had simply arranged a marriage between Li Zhiwei and Prince An, a widower.
As long as I help her break off that engagement, Li Zhiwei will definitely choose me.
After all, although she didn't have as much power as Xu Heming, she and Xu Heming were a perfect match, and besides, she had never been married.
They won't let Li Zhiwei become someone's stepmother the moment she enters the family.
Xu Heming's face darkened.
He felt deep regret, realizing he hadn't been lenient with him back in Li'an County.
Otherwise, why would he come all the way to the capital to steal his wife?
Zhu Jingchen sat at the head of the table, watching Xu Heming with an air of anticipation.
He never expected that someone would dare to try and take the person away from Xu Heming.
They even snatched it right in front of me.
However, thinking of the ten thousand taels of gold that Huo Yunxuan had mentioned, Zhu Jingchen thought to himself that it was still a bit stingy.
The dowry that Li Zhiwei donated was worth far more than ten thousand taels of gold.
Indeed, Zhu Jingchen planned to watch Xu Heming's performance again.
Li Tianyou gasped, feeling an intense urge to touch his hands.
That damn Huo Yunxuan, did I give him too much face?
He accuses his daughter of adultery on one hand, yet he wants to marry her on the other?
Li Tianyou is just a figurehead, someone who can be manipulated at will.
"Young Master Huo, have you asked for my opinion on this matter?" Li Tianyou thought to himself, "Marrying my daughter into the Li family for the rest of her life would be better than marrying that heartless Huo Yunxuan."
He had always looked down on Huo Yunxuan and his older sisters; none of them were easy to deal with.
He didn't want his daughter to suffer after marrying into that family.
"Lord Li, Miss Li and I are a perfect match!" Huo Yunxuan couldn't understand why Li Tianyou just didn't think much of him.
"Your Majesty, the marriage between me and Miss Li was personally arranged by you." Xu Heming looked at Zhu Jingchen, who seemed to enjoy stirring up trouble, with dissatisfaction.
He was thinking to himself that someone had already slapped him in the face, yet he was still in the mood to watch the show.
"Your Majesty, Miss Li and I are in love. I beg you to grant us your blessing," Huo Yunxuan knelt down again and pleaded.
"Young Huo, you can't just say things like that. When did my daughter ever fall in love with you? She doesn't even know you!" Li Tianyou scolded angrily.
"Lord Li, your daughter and I are in love, you should grant us your blessing!" Huo Yunxuan said sincerely to Li Tianyou.
"How could I not know that my queen and you are in love?" Xu Heming said with a dark face, feeling that Huo Yunxuan was truly shameless.
When he went to Li'an County, Li Zhiwei did not show any difference towards him.
"How could you possibly know? Zhiwei doesn't like you at all," Huo Yunxuan said, dissatisfied.
"Huo Yunxuan, do you have any evidence that you and Miss Li are in love?" Zhu Jingchen looked at Xu Heming, whose face was not very good, and was very happy. After all, in the past he could only see one expression on Xu Heming's face. Today, he was finally proven wrong.
However, he was also very curious as to why Huo Yunxuan could speak with such conviction.
Or is it that Li Zhiwei really has something going on with him?
"Your Majesty, this is not true," Li Tianyou said to Zhu Jingchen in a panic.
