Chapter 2

Xue Yue has been in a high position for so many years, and it has been a long time since no one dared to talk to him like this. His face became stiff for a while, and his tone became stiff: "Everything has a cause and effect. I don't know why the son wants to divorce?"

Sheng Gu clenched his fist and struggled with his tone: "To be honest with Mr. Xue, it's because I already have a sweetheart and I don't want to delay Miss Xue's future. That's why..."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of woman is the one who can be put in the heart of the crown prince?" Xue Yue stared straight at him.

"Since you are a sweetheart, naturally you only ask sincerity, regardless of your status," Sheng Gu said with a dignified appearance, and his voice was even more resounding. "Surely Prime Minister Xue is not the kind of person who follows others and only cares about his status."

Xue Yue laughed dryly twice, very embarrassed.

There was a flash of a smile in Xue Shu's eyes, and she smoothed things over and said, "Father, since Sheng Shizi has talked about this, if our family insists on refusing to spread the word, the outside world will inevitably think that father is trying to curry favor with others." Hou Mansion, this is very detrimental to father's reputation.

Since Sheng Shizi insists on retiring the engagement, we don't want to stalk him, but there is one thing, we hope Shizi will agree. "

Seeing that there was a turning point, Sheng Gu's eyes lit up immediately, he cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xue just say so."

"The marriage between Changsheng Hou's Mansion and Xue's Mansion is well-known, and now the son hastily came to the door to withdraw the engagement. If he didn't know, he would think that my Xue family did something to be sorry for the Hou Mansion." Xue Shu's tone was gentle. Soft, with a very negotiable look, "If the son insists on retiring, why don't you ask the son to bring Geng Tie in person on a certain day, and explain the reason for the divorce in public, so as to avoid misunderstandings from outsiders, okay?"

"How can this be done!" Marquis Changsheng slapped the table and stood up, "If you do this, wouldn't you tell everyone in the capital that it was my old man who made the mistake first? How do you let him gain a foothold in the capital in the future? Don’t Miss Xue know the truth of staying on the front line!”

No one in the capital knew about the relationship between the two families. However, after so many years, Sheng Gu now has a sweetheart, and he came to divorce for the sake of his sweetheart. After investigation, he was already suspected of infidelity, which was a big mistake.

His family's Marquis position was already in jeopardy, and he couldn't afford to make mistakes.

"Then Hou Ye means that you want me to suffer the rumors for the son?" Xue Shu suddenly changed her face and sneered, "Hou Ye, don't forget that this matter was originally Sheng Shizi's fault. Our Zuoxiangfu is going to bear the infamy for your family?"

"My old son is a good man who stands up to heaven and earth! How important reputation is to him, you little girl, you are young, but you have a vicious mind, you just open your mouth and drive people to a dead end!" Changshenghou said with a heartbroken expression. He pointed at Xue Shu's nose and cursed angrily.

Hearing this, Xue Shu laughed straight away: "I didn't know that the so-called good man doesn't even have the courage to reveal the truth, what is he talking about?
However, he is a person who dares to act and dare not act. When something happens, he only knows to hide behind the woman and let the woman bear the infamy for him. He doesn't know which sky or land Sheng Shizi is standing on? "

What a joke!

In his previous life, in order to vacate the seat of the concubine, he even resorted to the insidious method of poisoning behind his back. Just like that, he still stands upright?Still a good boy?
Even if all the men in the world are dead, it will not be his turn!
Marquis Changsheng's face was flushed with anger at Xue Shu's words, he was panting heavily, his eyes were still staring at Xue Shu, very scary.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xue Shu returned to his usual gentle appearance in a blink of an eye, even with a slight smile on his face, and looked at Sheng Gu who had stood up angrily: "Sheng Shizi, how are you?"

"No way!" Sheng Gu squeezed out a few words viciously from between his teeth, the gentleman's appearance just now had long since disappeared.

Xue Shu sneered and flicked her sleeves indifferently.

The Marquis of Changsheng is a family of military generals, but it is a pity that the descendants are really unworthy. The fame that was originally achieved on horseback has been passed down to the present, but there are only some bluffs left, which are worse than many literati.

Marquis Changsheng still has a bit of a bad temper anyway, and he has something to do with warriors, but when he comes to Shenggu, there is really only a lip service left.

No one spoke in the hall for a while, only Changshenghou's heavy breathing was heard.

Qingyu carefully offered a cup of tea, and then stood obediently behind Xue Shu, not daring to take a breath.

Xue Shu held up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Xue Yue who was watching from the sidelines, and said, "Father, if you think about it carefully, the Hou's family took the initiative to withdraw the marriage and refused to explain the reason, what would outsiders think? It is inevitable that they will think it is our family. If you have done something to offend the Hou family, when the time comes, there will be rumors, those officials in Beijing are not just for nothing, and they will definitely report the matter to His Majesty.

The so-called self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, if His Majesty thinks that his father can't even manage his own family well, will he still reuse his father in the future? "

What she said really caught Xue Yue's lifeblood.

Xue Yue is a person who is merciless and ungrateful. He doesn't care about anything except his own official position and interests.

He is like a snake, only when he is held seven inches by others, can he be used honestly by others.

He didn't care which daughter married into the Hou's mansion, nor did he care about the reputation of his daughter's family, but if he talked about his official reputation and future, then he would definitely speak up.

"Shu'er is right. Retiring an engagement is a major event. Since your family took the initiative to come to the door, it is natural for your family to come forward and silence the outsiders." Xue Yue shivered and said quickly, "This is Your family's fault, there is no reason for my family to be blamed, what is the relationship between our two families?"

When Xue Yue finally spoke, Xue Shu raised the corners of her lips and leaned back in the chair, hiding her achievements and fame.

If we talk about this point, we won't be able to get married, and if we have to get married, it's almost as good as a grudge.

Marquis Changsheng has a bad temper. Seeing that Xue Yue was so impolite, he just tore his face, slapped the table again, and said loudly: "My family is the Marquis's Mansion! It's your family's good fortune to see your family! Unexpectedly, This girl is arrogant and domineering, yet her father is so conniving! Such a family doesn't matter if they don't get married! This will save them from going through the door in the future, disturbing the house and becoming a joke in the whole capital!"

Xue Shu glanced worriedly at the crumbling table under his palm.

Huanghuali wood is not cheap.

How could Xue Yue, as a civil servant, show weakness: "Why are you still putting on the airs of the Marquis Mansion? My own Marquis position will be taken down at some point. This kind of air is quite good!

You were the ones who came to ask for marriage, and now you are the ones who want to withdraw. Why, really think that our Zuo Xiang's mansion is made of mud, and you can rub it round and flat as you like?

Still want to ask me Zuo Xiangfu to take the blame for you?What a thick skin!What Shu'er said is right, if you want to call off the engagement, you can, take the post and make it clear in front of everyone!Otherwise, my Xue family will take the name card and go to your door to withdraw from the marriage! "

After finishing speaking, Xue Yue flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, Xue Shu also stood up, took a last look at the father and son, then turned around, followed Xue Yue and left the front hall.

Walking out of the front hall, Xue Shu only felt a big stone in her heart fall to the ground, and even her breathing became freer.

However, when she turned her gaze, she suddenly saw a somewhat thin figure standing in the corridor not far away, and her scalp went numb, like a rabbit subconsciously wanted to run away when it saw an eagle.
