Chapter 161 Anyone who dares to propose marriage again will be killed

In the following time, Xie Zhuoning began to zoom in, attacking with precision, and defeating them one by one.

"My son has a straightforward personality."

——Oh, that means he is a person who speaks harshly and doesn’t know how to deal with people.

"The young master of our Lin family is well-known for his honesty and integrity. He is definitely a man who knows how to live."

——Well, not only does it have no other advantages, but it is also very stingy.

"Our master is very talented and highly regarded by his superiors. He will surely be very successful in the future."

——Humph, that means you have nothing now, yet you still want to get something for nothing.

The matchmakers couldn't help themselves and finally asked, "Miss Xie, what conditions do you want? Just tell me directly."

Xie Zhuoning spoke without hesitation, "A dowry of ten thousand taels, a sedan chair of eight ounces, no concubines, no serving parents-in-law, and I have the final say on whether you can have children or not."

After hearing these words, all the matchmakers fell silent and left in displeasure, rubbing their noses.

As soon as they walked out of the living room, everyone started to murmur, "Who can meet such harsh conditions?"

"That's right. She can't even have children, but she's not allowed to take a concubine. Isn't that asking her to have no descendants? It's such an immoral request, how dare she make it!"

"A woman whose engagement was broken off by the crown prince still thinks she is so popular that she is lucky enough to be liked by someone. But she is still so picky. I think she is destined to be a maid for the rest of her life!"

"Bah! If her father wasn't the Marquis of Zhenyang, who would like her?"

"Hey, tell me, how did the prince know that she couldn't have children? Could it be that she had already been an imperfect virgin for a long time?"

"Oh, it turns out that this is some junk that someone didn't want, and they gave it to me for free, and I still think it's bad luck!"

As they were complaining, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, holding a toilet brush and poking it into their mouths.

"You are a bunch of gossiping old hags. Your mouths stink worse than a toilet. I will clean you up!"

Xie Minglang was originally attending to old Madam Xie, but when he heard the news that his elder sister's engagement had been broken off, he immediately rushed back in a hurry.

I didn't expect that as soon as I walked in, I would hear this group of people slandering my own sister.

He was so angry that he asked his servants to go to the backyard to find a toilet brush that had just been used.

The toilet brush, with its disgusting stench, was stuffed directly into the mouth of a matchmaker.

The matchmaker screamed, covering her chest, and almost vomited bile.

The other matchmakers dispersed in a hurry upon seeing this, but Xie Minglang had learned martial arts after all, so his movements were much more flexible than theirs, and he treated everyone equally without letting anyone off.

The screams at the scene were getting louder and louder. Those who didn't know the truth might have thought that something horrific had happened.

The matchmakers fled, and Xie Minglang stood at the door with his hands on his hips, shouting at them -

"From now on, if anyone dares to come to my house to propose marriage to those ugly people, I will kill him!"

Some people were so angry that they asked, "If your sister never gets married, will you still support her?"

Xie Minglang raised his eyebrows, "Why not? As long as I am here, Zhenyang Marquisate will always be her home. She can stay here as long as she wants. If I can't take care of her, let my son take care of her until the end of her life!"

No matter how good the eldest daughter of the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion is, it is not their turn to bully her!

"Wang Er, close the door, thank you!"

Xie Minglang gave the order and when he turned around, he saw a piece of crabapple-colored clothing in the courtyard.

Xie Zhuoning stood there and watched for who knows how long.

"Sister," Xie Minglang hurriedly trotted in and said flatteringly, "Don't worry, I've chased them all away, and they won't come to bother you again in the future."

Xie Zhuoning had a complicated expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Today, Xie Minglang seems to have become the good little brother who depended on her when he was a child.

Sighing, she asked, "You came from Xie's place, how is your grandmother?"

He already knows about his broken engagement, so I guess the Xie family must know about it too, right?

Xie Minglang paused for a second, then said hesitantly, "Grandmother was very angry, and she calmed down after drinking a bowl of calming soup."

Xie Zhuoning closed his eyes and said, "As expected."

My grandmother originally thought that she went to the palace to repair her relationship with the prince, but she didn't expect that after one visit, she would directly break off the engagement.

How can I not be angry when all my wishful thinking fails?

Biting the corner of his lip, Xie Minglang said as if he had made up his mind, "Sister, what I just said is true."

"Huh?" Xie Zhuoning was lost in thought. When he heard his words suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at him in confusion.

Xie Minglang repeated anxiously, "What I said at the door just now is true. I have already decided not to take the imperial examination. I want to go to Beiguan to join the army!"

Now his sister has a father to support her, but what if his father dies on the battlefield or passes away after a hundred years?

Even if he succeeded to the title, it was just an empty title. What could he use to support his own sister?

Only in the face of powerful power, all rumors will be so fragile that they can withstand a single blow!

Xie Zhuoning frowned slightly, "Can your body handle it?"

His father had brought them to Beiguan in the first place, intending to train an outstanding successor himself.

But once they arrived at Beiguan, they suffered from acclimatization problems and various illnesses. His father was afraid that they would die there, so he sent them back to the capital within two years.

For this reason, Xie Minglang was sent to the academy to study, with the intention of letting him take the imperial examination and become an official.

Although he failed the imperial examination in his previous life, he could still become an official thanks to his family background in the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion.

There is absolutely no need to go to Beiguan and risk your life.

"I've thought about it. Maybe I was too young at the time, so I couldn't adapt to the environment there. Now I'm almost sixteen, I'm not a child anymore, I can definitely make a name for myself!"

Seeing Xie Minglang clenching his fists with confidence, Xie Zhuoning seemed to be infected by his emotions, "So when do you plan to leave?"

It would be nice for him to go and have some fun.

The last time he got into a dispute with his classmates over joining the party, he was so frustrated that he wished Xiao Jinxuan would put him in jail for a few days.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I gave up.

Rather than letting him stay in the capital and be used as a target, it would be better to send him to the military camp for a trial.

After all, I'm under my father's watchful eyes, so I can feel more at ease.

Xie Minglang raised his head cautiously and looked at her expectantly, "Can I go after my sister's birthday?"

After he reminded him, Xie Zhuoning remembered that his birthday was coming soon.

In her previous life, something big happened on her birthday.

Xie Minglang was very worried when he saw that she was slow to respond. "Sister, is it okay?"

Coming back to his senses, Xie Zhuoning said, "During this time, I'll let Xia Ju teach you some self-defense skills."

Not to mention taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops like Xiao Jinxuan, at least he can protect himself in the swordplay.

"So, sister, you agree?" Xie Minglang was extremely happy, like a child who got candy.

…

On the other side, Prince Xuan’s Palace.

After hearing Xie Zhuoning's conditions for getting married, Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a half-smile.

"Ten thousand taels of betrothal money, a sedan chair of eight ounces, no concubines allowed, no serving of parents-in-law... little uncle, isn't this talking about you?
