Chapter 523 What I Mean

Huo Jiu frowned tightly.

He knew that it was unfair for him to come to him to say this matter, and he also knew that his surname Mei was a stubborn one, but he refused so directly, which still made him a little helpless.

Mei Qiying looked at him, and said: "Actually, why should my lord be so stubborn?

"You all know that even if she doesn't have a marriage contract, she doesn't necessarily choose you. I don't know how many well-known ladies are willing to marry adults in Manda Zhou.

"Although Miss Yan is good, in the final analysis, she is strong in her family. If you talk about talent and learning, if you are thrown into the circle of ladies, she may not be outstanding."

"Did you think so?" Huo Jiu heard him say that Shen Yan was not good, and his brows became a little cold, "If only those who are talented and educated are cute, then the rest of the thousands of women are useless?
"Young Master values ​​talent and learning, but Huo Jiu doesn't care. In terms of talent and learning, who else in the world can compare to the Crown Princess?

"Shen Yan is no better than her second sister, but she also has her own cuteness. The young master can't appreciate it, so he naturally regards her as Pu Liu."

Mei Qiying also sneered from the bottom of her heart, and said indifferently on her face: "So, Miss Yan holds a lot of weight in Sir's heart.

"Since it's so important, I wonder what my lord can do to get me to resign the engagement?"

Huo Jiu straightened his back and leaned back in the chair, and said, "What do you need me to do, my lord?"

Mei Qiying pondered, raised her lips and said, "Then it depends on how sincere you are."

Huo Jiu put the cup on the table, and said indifferently: "My lord, it's okay to say. As long as there are people in this world who can do it, I, Huo Jiu, will definitely do it for you!"

Mei Qiying smiled, but stopped talking.

He didn't intend to be the villain who ruined the marriage. Huo Jiu's meeting him here today and being able to say these words to him showed his sincerity.

He was silent for a while, and said: "Since your lord is so confident, you should owe it first."

Huo Zhu raised his head. "Owing?"

"Yes, I owe you." Mei Qiying turned her eyes away, her eyes darkened in the twilight, "I agree to divorce, and if your lord agrees to my condition, just treat it as you owe me.

"In the future, when I need it, I will find an adult to fulfill my promise.

"After three days, let someone from the Shen family call off the engagement."

He brushed off his robe and stood up, raised his lips and said.

Huo Jiu saw him stepping out of the threshold calmly, and it took him a long time to look away.

He actually asked the Shen family to come to the door to withdraw the engagement in three days. Could it be that he misjudged him?

After returning to the palace, he sat silently for a long time before calling the guards: "Send a message to the third master Shen, saying that Mr. Mei agrees to retire the engagement, and ask the Shen family to arrange for someone to come to Rangmei's mansion in three days."

When the guards arrived at Shen's house, Shen Chongguang had already come out of the study and was about to go back to his room to rest. He did not react for a moment after hearing the message.

He only thought that he had heard it wrong, they were helpless during the day, but after a few hours, Huo Jiu sent good news?
"How does Master Huo know what Mr. Mei is willing to do? Did he go to meet Mr. Mei?"

Thinking of this, he was a little nervous again, with Huo Jiu's power and style, it might not be impossible for him to do such a thing.

"My lord did go to see Mr. Mei, but he didn't coerce him to make any decision. He did it voluntarily." The guard told him: "If the third master doesn't believe it, you can also send someone to ask Mr. Mei for verification."

He has said so much, what else can he say that he can't believe?
Immediately filled with emotions, he quickly thanked him, but the guards declined his kindness and returned to the palace.

The Shen family got Huo Jiu's trust here, no matter what, there is no reason to hold Shen Yan to marry again, so they arranged for Wen Shi to prepare a heavy gift the next morning, and three days later, they went to visit Mei's house together with Huang Shi.

And after Mei Qiying accepted Huo Jiu, she spent half the night here, and in the morning, she went directly to Mrs. Mei's room to say hello.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said, "After much deliberation, my son still wants to break off this engagement with the Shen family."

Mrs. Mei raised her eyes to look over, her gaze turned cold instantly: "Is this what the Shen family means?!"

"No." Mei Qiying shook her head, "That's what I meant."

Mrs. Mei put the cup on the table with a bang. "What's the reason?"

"My son doesn't want to bear the reputation of relying on nepotism." Mei Qiying said calmly. "This marriage is already out of place, and I don't think it's necessary to continue.

"I consider myself to be hardworking and motivated, and I also have the ambition to forge ahead. If a mother thinks what her son said makes sense, please think about it from a different angle."

Mrs. Mei's face was ashen, she looked at him but couldn't speak.

What he said was not unreasonable, so why was it not what she was worried about?
The Mei family is not a scholarly family, at most they are considered wealthy, and they cannot adapt to being suddenly promoted to a higher place because of their in-law relationship.

And Shen Yan came from such a wealthy family as the Shen family, and there was a sister who was a princess behind her, if she really married back, would they confess her or let her follow her duty and set the rules?
If it is a confession, then who will do the work of the housekeeper and deacon?

He only treats her as an ordinary person, and there is something wrong with her later, that is, if she doesn't tell the Shen family, if the people around her reveal a few words and go back to her mother's house, how will they suffer then?

Furthermore, if there is any dispute between Shen Yan and Mei Qiying, wouldn't it be even more serious?

Therefore, she actually had 120 worries in her heart.

But with this marriage contract in hand, he can only bite the bullet and carry it down.

And because Shen Yan was indeed outstanding in appearance, and she was not like that kind of arrogant and rude person, if Mei Qiying liked her, wouldn't it be a sign of their ignorance as elders to propose a divorce?

Hearing what he said now, she was forced to look directly at this matter.

"Then you want me to propose a divorce to them?" Mrs. Mei frowned, "What excuse should I find for this?"

We can't say clearly that we don't want to beat you, so we have the backbone to dissolve the engagement, right?
Mei Qiying looked at her and said: "If the two wives of the Shen family come to visit us these few days, mother might as well find out what they say first?
"If their attitude is not tough, then mother will try to say what she means, that's all.

"As long as there is no disagreement between the two parties, isn't it easy to solve this kind of matter?"

Mrs. Mei frowned, nodded and said: "That's fine." Then said: "It's just that, will it offend people?"

After all, if they had the intention of retiring the engagement first, it seemed that they were dissatisfied with Shen Yan.This is also easy to damage the reputation of the girl's family.

"Mother is very worried." Mei Qiying said, "But as long as we don't say it ourselves, the Shen family will definitely not publicize it.

"Besides, Miss Yan is not very old. After a year or two, this kind of thing will not have such a big impact."
