Tianenhou Mansion, reception hall.

In the gorgeously furnished hall, Mrs. Hu, the mother of the Tianen Hou’s mansion, had a gloomy face and sat upright in the center of the main seat.

When he saw Lu Qi standing in the middle of the hall, he was tall, plump, and beautiful like a peach and plum, with a pretty figure of eight or nine. His only pair of triangular eyes looked a little mean, and he snorted coldly, looking up and down at him with extreme pickiness.

Lu Qi bowed to Mrs. Hu and respectfully called "Auntie".

According to the clan blood relationship, Lu Qi's great-grandfather and Tian'enhou Lu' (Tai, "Da" and "Sunshine") are half-brothers, and Lu Qi is the same nephew of Tianenhou's serious nephew. This "aunt" is very appropriate.

In the hall, in addition to Mrs. Hu, there are two guests.

One was a man wearing a green brocade robe and three-beam green gauze wing crown, looking like he was in his early thirties. He sat in the guest seat on the left side of Mrs. Hu, holding thin porcelain tea cups in both hands, crossing his legs, looking at Lu Qi with a arrogant look on his face, and looking at him with disgust.

The other one is a girl who is about the same age as Lu Qi, wearing a big palace skirt with white background and ink plum pattern, and wearing a small silver fox fur vest on the upper body. She has red lips and white teeth, big eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall figure. She is as charming as a willow whispering in the wind.

The girl was originally a quiet and light-hearted person, looking like a "beauty from the world" that had nothing to do with her in the world.

But when he suddenly saw Lu Qi, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, her eyes were like fire, and she tightly stuck to Lu Qi's righteous and masculine face.

From a pair of Xianwei's sword eyebrows, to those pairs of bright eyes as bright as cold stars, to the straight nose, powerful lip lines, and light brown skin like thousands of refined bronze.

The girl's eyes seemed to be covered with glue, sweeping across Lu Qi's face inch by inch.

Then, she quickly measured Lu Qi's body with her eyes - her eyes suddenly lit up again.

Lu Qi is nearly nine feet tall, with wide shoulders, wolf waist, long and powerful hands and legs, and a tall figure like a green pine. With his strong appearance, he looks more masculine and mighty, which is very different from the temperament of the handsome guys she usually dates.

But soon, the girl realized her incompetence.

She slightly adjusted her sitting posture, restrained her expression, and returned to her original temperament of being deserted and quiet, like a secluded orchid in the valley.

Lu Qi couldn't help but look at the girl twice more.

Lu Qi is also the only girl of this color to see in this life.

He studied in the Lu clan of the Duke of Lai, and he had met the daughters of the Duke of Lai several times.

Those young ladies are rich and not smart enough, and their temperament is more than one level away from the girl in front of them.

However, this girl is beautiful, but she looks like a beauty in a painting, with the shadows of flowers in the water, and she always feels not real enough.

‘Dingdang’.

The man next to him put the teacup lid on the small table next to him.

His right hand bounced on the clean robe and the man whispered: "Madam Hu, you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. All the tribesmen of the Tianen Marquis' Mansion are subject to your constraints and management. Please make the decision on this matter."

Mrs. Hu, who had a gloomy face, squeezed out a smile, and then she slapped her right hand hard on the armrest of the big chair and pointed hard at Lu Qi.

"Lu Qi, it can be seen that you are a seed of ruin without blessings."

Lu Qi was startled by Mrs. Hu's violent scolding. He looked at Mrs. Hu in shock and bowed: "Auntie, what did you do wrong?"

Mrs. Hu looked at him with disgust: "It's embarrassing."

After pausing slightly, Mrs. Hu pointed to the man: "You should have an impression of this Lord Bai Qiongbai."

Before Lu Qi could speak, Mrs. Hu pointed at the girl again: "You should know her name, this girl Bai Lu."

Slapping his hands hard, Mrs. Hu said coldly: "You are not worthy of others, so I handed over my marriage letter and wrote another divorce letter to others that is 'I am ashamed of being a little ignorant and unscrupulous' to give it a break!'

Lu Qi widened his eyes, looked at Mrs. Hu and the other two in shock and angrily, and finally his eyes fell on the man Bai Qiong.

I think I am "not talented and shallow in my knowledge" is OK!

He confessed that he was "unethical and unscrupulous" in the Dayin Wu Dynasty, in this era, this was a failure and a life of ruin!

"Is it my father-in-law in front of me?" Lu Qi's voice turned cold.

Bai Qiong's face changed slightly, and he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea. He didn't say a word, and he didn't even bother to say something to Lu Qi.

"Are you shameless? Is this called my father-in-law?" Mrs. Hu slapped the handrail hard and scolded loudly: "Why are you a bastard who is so shameless and has a slut in my Tianen Hou Mansion? "

‘Be honest and shameless, cling to wealth’?

Lu Qi rushed up with anger in his heart, a blue vein in the center of his forehead, and it was beating rapidly with a "bang bang bang bang".

"Aunt, where do you say this?" Lu Qi's voice gradually increased, and he scolded sternly: "Miss Bai and I do have a engagement, but this engagement was left by my grandfather. At that time, don't talk about me, even my father was not born yet. How could Lu Qi be "shamed" and "climb wealth"?"

Mrs. Hu was speechless.

Although she is the mistress of the Marquis’ Mansion of Tianen, she is the super-class Marquis’ wife of the State Dynasty.

But she came from a small businessman family and had never studied since she was a child, and she didn't even recognize many words.

In the Marquis' Mansion, she is a first-class expert in her role as a mistress.

But if she wants to make sense and to refute positively with others, she will not be able to do so.

Bai Qiong snorted coldly, playing with the teacup lid in his hand, still not saying a word.

Bai Lu sighed lightly, put his hands tightly on his knees, and his red lips moved slightly, and he opened his mouth.

Her voice was crisp and sweet, just like a jade bead that fell into the silver plate. The "ding ding dong dong" was so pleasant, and even the anger in Lu Qi's heart fell a little inexplicably.

"What Mr. Lu said is true. The engagement between you and me is indeed signed by the two grandparents back then."

Bai Lu stood up and stood in front of Lu Qi in a pretty way, her beautiful face that was not far from her beautiful eyes.

"As Mr. Lu said, when the engagement was signed, neither of you nor my father was born. After all, this engagement was just a whim of two old men after drinking."

Bai Lu looked at Lu Qi and smiled and said, "What do you think Mr. Lu thinks?"

Lu Qi put his hands into his sleeves again. He looked at Bai Lu with a faint look and said coldly: "It's a whim after drinking, and this is frivolous. Thinking about the old man of the Bai family..."

Bai Lu interrupted Lu Qi's words, and she looked at Lu Qi with a smile: "After all, I think back then, it was something that happened decades ago. We won't mention that back then, but only talk about the present, okay?"

Lu Qi wanted to speak, but Mrs. Hu was already scolding: "Shut up, listen to what the Bai family girl said."

Lu Qi's forehead veins pounded and he pursed his lips vigorously.

Tianenhou Lu Shi is the head of this Lu clan.

Lu Shi is now leading the army outside, and the mansion of Marquis Tian’en is the head of the mistress of Mrs. Hu.

According to the laws of the Dayin clan, the life, death, honor and disgrace of thousands of members of the Lu clan were all in the thoughts of Mrs. Hu.

If ordinary people were defeated by Mrs. Hu, they would have been beaten to death, and the Dayin government would not have the power to interfere in the clan's internal affairs.

Lu Qi took a deep breath, lowered his head slightly, and looked at him calmly.

Mrs. Hu sneered with satisfaction.

Bai Lu smiled slightly and said calmly: "We won't talk about what happened back then. But Mr. Lu still remembers what you came to your house for the first time five years ago. Did your family ancestor say to you?"

Of course Lu Qi remembers it.

Five years ago, Lu Qi had just turned ten years old. According to Dayin's folk custom, a ten-year-old boy was called "Xiaolang" and could be regarded as "half adults". He was qualified to go out on his own behalf to visit his old friends and make friends.

Lu Qi prepared a gift for the first time and visited the Bai family.

When Lu Qi came to the door, he did not see the rest of the Bai family. Only Bai Lu's grandfather Bai Changkong came out to meet him.

At the Bai family, Lu Qi only drank half a cup of cold and warm tea. After receiving a few words of "heartfelt teachings" from Bai Changkong that were neither cold nor hot, neither salty nor light, then he was "gifted".

When Bai Lu saw Lu Qi nodding, she smiled and nodded: "The ancestor of my family has a word to let you study hard, work hard, and seek a future in order to fulfill your engagement."

Lu Qi's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his head and looked at Bai Lu, who was as beautiful as a flower, smiling face, and then looked at Bai Qiong, who was arrogant and impatient, crossing his legs and shaking constantly.

"Yes, Mr. Bai asked me to study hard and work hard five years ago. He also said that if I didn't read anything, it would not only be embarrassing myself, but also insulting the family style of the Bai family, leaving Miss Bai blank." Lu Qi's smile gradually became brighter: "So, I have never visited the door again in the past five years."

Bai Lu smiled and looked like fire, and swept Lu Qi's handsome face again.

Bai Qiong said sarcastically, "If you are a motivated, my Bai family will naturally be happy to have this marriage with you."

Shaking his head, Bai Qiong knocked the teacup cover and knocked it out loud.

"But look at your waste of time and study in the past few years, you can be said to have accomplished nothing. I didn't wrong you, right?"

He knocked the teacup hard, and Bai Qiong scolded and said, "In the fifteenth year of Jiayou, your clan will be evaluated at the end of the academic year, go."

"In the 16th year of Jiayou, your clan will be evaluated at the end of the year, and I will be there."

"In the 17th year of Jiayou, your clan will be evaluated at the end of the year, and I will be there."

"This year, in the 18th year of Jiayou, your family's academic year-end evaluation, well, it's a little better, but it's still the lowest and still a shameful achievement!"

Bai Qiong shook his head and sighed: "I am the most straightforward person. I have always been talking about one thing and two thing, and I have never been afraid of offending people. The clan of the Duke of Lai is not good in the entire Haojing. It would be harsh to say that I am just a second-rate, but it is very appropriate."

"You can only get the lower-level assessment in a second-rate school."

Bai Qiong threw the teacup onto the small table, stood up, walked to Lu Qi with his hands behind his back, and stared at Lu Qi with a deep look: "Do you think you have a future?"

"Do you think you can make a name for the world?"

"Do you think you can show your title to a high-ranking official?"

"Do you think you deserve the little girl?"

"You don't feel ashamed, don't you think that your marriage letter is weak and you can't afford it?"

Lu Qi's forehead was leaping blue veins.

He remembered the Taoist thesis topics he had been studying in the Lu clan in recent years. Every time he was evaluated at the end of the year, Lu Jun drafted it for him.

In Lu Jun's words, clanology is about "teaching according to talents", so everyone's Taoist topics are different when they are evaluated at the end of the year.

But for four consecutive years, the topics of the Tao that Lu Jun gave to Lu Qi were all fatal!

Mrs. Hu scolded impatiently: "Okay, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and don't check if she has the life!"

"Okay, Lord Bai, Miss Bai, I'll make the decision on this matter."

"Lu Qi, hand over the marriage letter, and then write a contract to you voluntarily break the engagement according to my wishes. That's it."
