Chapter thirty-eight finally broke off the marriage
When Xu Yirong got the maid's reply and said that his mother was not in danger of becoming disabled, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and slept with peace of mind.
The next morning, Xu Yirong and Yang Yaoguang called Xu Muqing and asked her to dress up solemnly. They were going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give up the marriage.
Although Xu Muqing didn't want to see Zhang Mingxi's face that deserved a beating, she wanted to be free soon, so she still bit the bullet and followed her parents to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion was depressed and low, which made the servants in the mansion tremble and didn't even dare to show off their anger.
Xu Yirong and Yang Yaoguang were sitting, while Xu Muqing stood with her eyebrows down, quietly in front of the background.
The misty tea fragrance spread. She felt Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Mingxi's resentful and fierce gaze falling on her, just like a poisonous arrow.
If the eyes could kill people, Xu Muqing might have been killed several times.
Prime Minister Zhang Lilei coughed gently, taking the lead in breaking the silence.
"Brother Xu Xian, I also heard about what happened yesterday. Mingxi was so stupid after drinking and said a lot of offending niece. The niece lost face in front of others and was angry and slapped Mingxi.
Mingxi made a mistake first, and he shouldn't have insulted his virtuous niece.
Zhang Mingxi, you bastard, don’t come over quickly and apologize to Mu Qing. How could you say that kind of thing?"
The Prime Minister's wife was unhappy. It was obvious that her son was beaten to the point of bleeding, but she almost got kicked and disabled. What if her son was injured in the most important place, what would happen if his son was killed in the future?
"Master, Mingxi is the victim. Xu Muqing is unscathed. Why should she ask Mingxi to apologize? Isn't Xu Muqing want to apologize to Mingxi?
She was so cruel that Mingxi was almost killed by her, and Mingxi couldn't apologize!"
Zhang Lilei glared at his wife sternly, "What do you know? A man can't control his appetite and drinks and drinks and insults the little girl. Is that right?
Mingxi and Mu Qing are well-educated and talented, and she has an unparalleled appearance. If you can decide such a girl to be your fiancée, what else are you not satisfied with?
Shouldn’t you be pampering and loving to make Mu Qing live a comfortable and comfortable life?
How could you say something like how you can't get out of bed if you hit her?"
Zhang Mingxi felt so frustrated that he stared at Xu Muqing fiercely, clenched his fists, and couldn't say anything about apologizing.
When Xu Yirong saw that the atmosphere was in a deadlock, she looked at Zhang Mingxi's attitude after sobering up, and felt that her daughter's decision to break off the engagement was correct.
"Brother Zhang, no need to apologize. I came here with Mu Qing today to discuss the matter of termination of the engagement.
Mu Qing beat Zhang Mingxi, it was her fault. I prepared two ginseng trees for five hundred years to nourish Mingxi, as well as some other precious medicinal materials to nourish the body.
Since the two children have different personalities and tempers, it is better not to force them to tie them together.
Mu Qing and Mingxi's engagement, let's just forget it."
Seeing Xu Yirong's serious and firm expression, Zhang Lilei was anxious because he really planned to terminate the engagement.
"Brother, Mingxi and Mu Qing are young and energetic, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes. Just resolve the misunderstanding. There is really no need to quit the marriage.
Look at our two families who know the roots and the best, Yemen is a match made by heaven.
If you really break off the engagement, it will not be a good thing for Mingxi and Muqing, don’t you think so?"
The most important thing is that Xu Yirong is a big celebrity in front of the emperor and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Having such a family as a relative will inevitably bring great benefits to his son. It is better than marrying those girls from small families.
"Zhang Mingxi, what are you still doing? Have you asked you to apologize to Mu Qing and you have become mute? You don't know how to cherish such a good fiancée. What do you want to do?"
Zhang Lilei was so angry that his son refused to admit his mistakes, and he wanted to rush forward and kick him.
Xu Muqing said with a faint expression, "Uncle Zhang, I really don't need it anymore.
Mr. Zhang is young and promising, amazing and talented, and a noble family. He is also a nobleman. His appearance is so beautiful. Our Mu Enhou Mansion is just a down-and-out family. I can't stand Mr. Zhang."
"I want to leave this marriage. I hit Mr. Zhang in Youran Tower yesterday. I was too impulsive and shouldn't have it. Today I came to me to return my former token with Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Lilei looked reluctant, "Mu Qing, think about it carefully. Mingxi will get drunk if he drinks too much, but in normal times, he will be moderate in advancing and adhering to etiquette and will not bully you."
Xu Muqing is not the kind of woman who becomes soft after someone says a few good things. She said firmly, "I have already thought it very clearly."
"Mr. Zhang and I are not destined to be Mr. Zhang. I have a strong personality and a bad temper. I am not suitable to be Mr. Zhang's wife. It would be better to terminate the engagement earlier and let Mr. Zhang find a gentle and beautiful and understanding girl."
Zhang Lilei really couldn't bear to give up on this marriage. He looked at Xu Yirong and spoke quietly.
"Brother, don't break off the engagement. If a person like us really breaks off the engagement, it will damage his reputation.
It is not so easy for Mu Qing to find another good family, so why bother to lose money?”
Xu Yirong said helplessly, "But the forced melon is not sweet. I am also worried that Mu Qing and Mingxi will fight every day after marriage, which will make the mansion uneasy."
"Brother Zhang, let's just let this marriage go. Mu Qing has decided and will never change. She has a bad temper and cannot be the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
When Xu Muqing and Zhang Mingxi looked at each other, their eyes were filled with raging anger, and there was no love at all. They wanted to tear each other away.
Zhang Mingxi didn't expect that this woman would be so willing to come to break the engagement. He was greatly insulted and embarrassed.
"Dad, if someone wants to break the engagement, I don't want to marry such a shrew. If she gets angry one day, I will die of my life?
Stop talking nonsense with them, give her the token, and the marriage will be abandoned."
The young and handsome man was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Xu Muqing and said gritting his teeth, "It's not that you don't want to marry me, it's that I don't want to marry you. Please wait and see, I will definitely marry a girl who is more beautiful than you, more gentle than you, and more noble than you, and even more love me to the core."
"Then I wish Mr. Zhang a happy family to find a beautiful family like a flower, a harmonious zither and a happy life."
Her smile was gentle and decent, and generous, which made Zhang Mingxi look petty.
"Dad, return the token to Mr. Zhang."
Xu Yirong took out a transparent green jade pendant carved with Pisces Playing Lotus and gave it to Zhang Mingxi.
The Xu family's will to terminate the engagement was so firm that even if Zhang Lilei was reluctant to leave, he could only return the Xu family's love pendant to Xu Yirong with heartache.
