Chapter 169 Wedding 2
Ye Jingchuan stood up angrily when he saw Ye Anjun, who disobeyed him without caring about the face of Shangshu Mansion.
"How dare you! Chen Zhong..."
When he was about to ask Chen Zhong to take Jun'er away by force, Ye Chutang spoke.
"It won't take long to check on the Guanyin statue. I think the prince can wait."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Jingchuan knew that Ye Anjun had made such a fuss at the instigation of Ye Chutang.
His eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and his hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves.
"It's already past midnight, and the wedding procession still has to go around the imperial city to receive blessings from the people. If they delay any longer, they will miss the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony."
Qi Yanzhou knew that the purpose of circling the city was to carry as many dowry boxes containing weapons as possible into Prince Chen's Mansion.
And it would take at least half an hour to carry the 128 loads of dowry.
He deliberately said, "It's okay, we can just shorten the tour of the city. Shangshu Mansion is now my father-in-law's family, and offspring represent inheritance, so it's better to figure it out."
"The issue of offspring is my family's business, so please don't worry about it, Your Highness."
"What the father-in-law meant by this is that he doesn't consider me as a family member?"
Ye Jingchuan really wanted to say that he had already severed his relationship with Ye Chutang, so he really couldn’t get married to the Chen Palace!
But all the civil and military officials were present, so he could not say such embarrassing words.
So he looked at Chen Zhong and gave him a suggestive look.
"Go and get the Guanyin statue from the shrine."
Chen Zhong understood immediately.
No matter what is inside the Guanyin statue, it cannot be made public!
"Yes, sir."
Qi Yanzhou saw through Ye Jingchuan's intention at a glance.
He said to his confidant, "You go too."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Jingchuan knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only give up.
"Go quickly and come back soon."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Anjun, wishing he could eat him alive.
If he is not my biological son, then there is no need for him to live!
Ye Anjun felt very nervous when being stared at, but he suppressed his fear and looked at Ye Jingchuan.
His eldest sister would protect him, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
The guests' eyes also fell on Ye Anjun.
He is thin and small, but stands straight.
"Is your child stupid? He doesn't want to be a young master of the Shangshu Mansion, but a commoner."
"He even chose to say it on such a happy day. What does he want to do?"
"I heard that Minister Ye is very concerned about this youngest son. He is really ruthless!"
"That's right. Minister Ye raised him. What right does he have to break up the relationship?"
Song Jingning sneered when he heard what Fan Tiangang said.
He finally understood why the Song family had set family rules not to associate with officials.
This group of people only know how to flatter but cannot tell right from wrong!
Many guests looked towards Song Jingning, their eyes revealing contempt for the clear-minded literati.
"What is Master Haoyue laughing at?"
Song Jingning was not afraid of fighting with the officials, and he went straight to their faces and attacked them.
"Laugh at your stupidity!"
Hearing this, Ye Chutang's mouth corners raised.
She likes this character!
"Master Haoyue, don't think that just because you have a high status in the literary world, you can humiliate others at will!"
Song Jingning walked into the main hall and came in front of Ye Anjun.
"If he had told the truth on another day, would he still be alive?"
The answer is obvious.
No!
With such a huge scandal, of course, we should cover our mouths!
Song Jingning patted Jun'er on the shoulder and added, "As for breaking off the relationship, he did nothing wrong. Some people can enjoy glory and wealth by stepping on the corpses of their parents, while others will give up glory and wealth for the sake of peace of mind."
These spineless people who put profit above all else can only kneel down and beg for food. Naturally, they do not understand what integrity is.
Jun'er looked up at Song Jingning with eyes full of admiration.
He looked at the man who had confronted Song Jingning before, and a cold look appeared in his big eyes like black grapes.
"I would rather my parents were still alive and never enjoyed the glory."
Just as the man was about to make a sarcastic remark, Chen Zhong and Qi Yanzhou's confidants came back.
Chen Zhong tried several times to touch the Guanyin statue, but couldn't find a chance, so he could only hand it to Ye Jingchuan intact.
"Master, this Guanyin statue is intact."
The implication was that he had failed to destroy the contents.
Ye Jingchuan had already accepted the worst outcome and immediately took the Guanyin statue.
He pulled out a yellowed piece of paper from the hollow space.
There was a date and a sentence written on the note.
The date was the day Kong Ru had a miscarriage, which she took as the birthday of her deceased child.
The sentence is: May my son be safe and reach paradise soon!
Ye Anpeng is the boy's name chosen by Kong Ru and Ye Jingchuan, which means a bright future.
Later, Kong Ru gave birth to the child after a "difficult labor" and said that the child was in poor health, that "Pengcheng Wanli" was too hard, and that "Junjie Lianhan" was more suitable for the child.
So he abandoned the name he had chosen and named the child Ye Anjun.
When Ye Jingchuan thought of this, he wanted to tear the paper in his hand into pieces.
How dare that bitch Kong Ru!
Not only did he kill his eldest son, he also gave him a fake son!
Is this the retribution for favoring his concubine over his wife?
Ye Chutang couldn't see Ye Jingchuan's expression, but he could feel his anger.
She asked knowingly, "What's in the Guanyin statue? Is Jun'er a child of the Ye family?"
Ye Jingchuan looked at the evidence in his hand and couldn't lie with his eyes open.
He admitted: "Ye Anjun is indeed not a member of the Ye family. I will write a letter of severance now. From now on, Ye Anjun will have no connection with the Ye family and cannot use the surname 'Ye'!"
After saying this, he asked the maid to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write down the reason for breaking off the relationship.
When he finished writing, he looked at Ye Anjun.
"Give yourself a name and sign your name later."
Ye Anjun walked up to Ye Chutang and bowed, "Please give me a name, Princess Chen."
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "There are many talented people in Jiangdong. It is unknown whether they will make a comeback. You can just be called Liu Junzhi."
[Note: From Du Mu's "Inscription on Wujiang Pavilion" in the Tang Dynasty]
She thought "Jun'er" was easier to pronounce, so she used this word.
Jun'er likes the name Liu Junzhi very much.
"Thank you Princess Chen for the name."
Ye Jingchuan snorted coldly, wrote the letter of severance, and immediately signed it.
"Hurry up and sign, pack your clothes, and leave the Shangshu Mansion!"
He originally wanted to chase the person away, but he didn't want to be criticized for bullying an innocent child.
Just a few pieces of clothes, just throw them to a beggar!
"Yes, Lord Ye."
Liu Junzhi did not waste time and immediately wrote his name and put his fingerprints on the letter of severance.
He picked up the letter of severance with the ink still wet and bowed to Ye Jingchuan.
"Thank you Lord Ye for taking care of me for the past five years. I will not pack my clothes anymore and say goodbye now."
His eldest sister had arranged everything, so he could just go directly to Huating Academy.
Before leaving, Liu Junzhi looked at Ye Chutang.
"Princess Chen, I will never forget your life-saving grace. I will repay you in the future."
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Then he got up and left the Shangshu Mansion.
Song Jingning looked at Ye Chutang and said, "I wish Miss Ye and Prince Chen a perfect match and a long-lasting love. Goodbye."
He called Jun'er who had already walked to the door.
"Liu Junzhi, you are going to Hua Ting Academy to enroll today, right? Let's go together."
This is telling everyone that even if Jun'er leaves the Shangshu Mansion, he will still have a bright future.
Seeing that the farce was finally over, Ye Jingchuan urged, "Chu'er, Prince, it's time for you to go out."
Ye Chutang reminded: "You haven't given us the red seal yet."
I won’t call you “Dad” anymore, but I will ask for more money.
