Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 80 The Desire of Power
There was no reason to eat a meal.

There was only some homely talk during the banquet, and there was not much else to say.

Bai Xiongqi was very enthusiastic, he exchanged cups with Lu Heng, his words were friendly, and he won the favor of everyone.

Even Jiu'er also thinks this person is good.

Of course, knowing that Jiu'er was Lu Heng's concubine, Bai Xiongqi didn't squint at her because of Bai Xiuzhu.

After eating and drinking, talking in twos and threes, Lu Heng and Bai Xiong got up and walked around the yard.

It is summer now, the weather is getting hot, and there is a cool breeze in the yard, which is very comfortable.It's just that the mosquitoes also got up, buzzing, so tired.

Bai Xiong said: "I didn't expect so many facts to happen in Brother Xian's house. It's a pity. But it also shows that Brother Xian is a man of great ability."

He laughed at himself: "When I was my brother's age, I was still fighting cock-fighting dogs in Jinling. I didn't know the plight of my family, and I was so complacent. If I were to exchange with my brother, I'm afraid that I would be lost in the crowd."

In terms of speaking well, Bai Xiongqi is by no means inferior to Lu Heng.

Eunuch Zhang said that Lu Heng spoke nicely, and this sentence must be passed on to Bai Xiongqi.

Lu Heng smiled: "It's just what life is forced to do."

The two talked and walked under a flower tree.

Lu Heng stood still, considered for a moment, and said, "There were some things that I hadn't said before during the banquet. These words are really not easy to say. Even the second uncle, the third uncle and the second aunt are not easy to say."

He looked at Bai Xiongqi: "So let's talk privately here, and probably not hurt a little bit of face."

Bai Xiong was startled and said, "I'm not an outsider, what can I say?"

Lu Heng said: "It's a marriage contract between me and Lingmei."

So I put the reasons one by one: "At the time my mother wrote a letter to my grandfather, asking my grandfather to arrange a marriage. When I was young, I didn't know it. Not long after that, my family was in trouble, and my parents died. Saved by Master."

"For several years, I have lived with my master. Because I didn't know about this, before my master left, he appointed me the daughter of the Northeast Palace family. After I came to the capital, I met my uncle and aunt, and then I learned that my marriage with Lingmei was too early. It's settled."

Having said that, everything is clear.

Bai Xiongqi was stunned and speechless, and sighed for a moment: "Is this good luck tricking people?"

Lu Heng said: "Yin and Yang are wrong, I really don't know who is to blame!"

He said: "Now that the marriage between me and the daughter of the palace family has come to an end, I have no choice but to explain the matter to Brother Bai. This matter is really difficult to talk about, and it concerns the face of the three families. There are thousands of mistakes, all my fault. If Brother Bai wants to blame, Just blame me."

Bai Xiong frowned and said nothing.

Lu Heng said: "The marriage certificate and the eight characters are all at my place. If brother Bai has time to visit Sifang Garden tomorrow, I will take the marriage certificate and the eight characters and return them to Brother Bai."

Bai Xiong's thoughts turned around, and after a while, he laughed and said, "This matter is really not good. But this marriage book and eight characters, my virtuous brother should keep it first. The marriage was decided by my grandfather and cousin, I said. Don't worry. You gave me the marriage certificate, how dare I give it to my father?"

He said again, "Why don't I tell my father about this and let my father decide?"

There is no doubt that what he said made sense.

Although he is Bai Xiuzhu's older brother, Bai Xiuzhu's marriage really cannot be decided by him.Unless his father is gone, and the eldest brother is the father, he can be the master.

Lu Heng had no choice but to nod: "Alright. Then I'd like to trouble Brother Bai to send the news to Jinling earlier and resolve the matter as soon as possible. After all, the longer it drags on, the worse it will affect Lingmei."

Bai Xiong nodded his head: "That's true."

After the matter was opened, there was no talk of sex, and he said a few more words, all went back to the house, said goodbye, and each left the Bai's house.

Bai Xiongqi went back to their residence-their Bai family moved to Jinling and sold most of the capital's property, leaving only a small courtyard to teach an old servant to watch.

This time, I live here.

Back home, Bai Xiongqi let his close companion make a pot of tea and pondered secretly.

The Bai family moved to Jinling, and all the troubles they encountered made Bai Xiong remember deeply.He believes that there is only one reason for the various oppressions against the Bai family, that is, the Bai family has no power.

It's useless to have money, and it's useless to follow the rules, you can only let bullying.

This is where his ambition lies.

It is also the reason why he had to come to the capital and handle the official overseas study abroad through the capital university.

Their white family is a complete businessman.On the other hand, the branch of the great-uncle Bai Mengtang has been a royal doctor for several generations, and it is not bad.

For Bai Xiong, the Bai family in the capital is a helper, at least at this stage.

However, he did not expect that this time he arrived in Beijing to visit the Bai family, and there was an unexpected harvest - Lu Heng.

His future brother-in-law!

Of course, this seems to be a bit of a hangover now.

but it does not matter.

According to Bai Sanye's leaks, Lu Heng, who made a marriage contract with his sister, is undoubtedly a capable person and cannot be ignored.Although no detailed investigation has been carried out yet, it should not be overlooked just from the Sifang Garden.

I just came to the capital the day before yesterday and went to the capital university to go through the formalities, and I heard people talk about it.That Sifang Garden is where the rich and powerful gather!
If the boss of such a place had no foundation and no ability, he would have been swallowed by someone with his belt bone.

Not to mention the names that came out of Bai Sanye's mouth, what is Eunuch Zhang, what is Gao Xianren, what is Yuan Gongbao, tsk tsk, which one is not aloof?
As long as these relationships are caught, the benefits can be imagined!

But now, due to a misunderstanding, Lu Heng wants to break off the marriage.

A man cannot have two true wives!

Lu Heng chose Gong Lan and naturally gave up Bai Xiuzhu.Both are in line with the rules of the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, but there can only be one wife.

Can't let Bai Xiuzhu be a concubine?

However, thinking of the huge benefits contained in Lu Heng, Bai Xiongqi was vaguely reluctant to give up this marriage.

But then thinking of his pampered, arrogant and cunning sister, Bai Xiong started to have a headache again.

It's impossible to break off a marriage, at least not now.Once he broke off the marriage and lost his direct relationship with Lu Heng, he would lose a good way to climb the mountain of power.

Why don't you drag it first.

Bai Xiongqi made up his mind.

With only a few days left and right, he will travel east to Japan to study in Japan.Hold on for now, wait until you return from studying abroad, and then look at the situation.According to the situation at that time, how to choose, it is not too late to make a decision.

Of course, this matter still has to be communicated with the Jinling family.

At least, his father supported him when he climbed the road to power.

As long as my father supports me, everything is fine.

Bai Xiong had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he turned around here, turned around, and gradually formed an order.

"Go to Sifang Garden tomorrow to see. Then send a telegram to father to explain the matter."

"As for Lu Heng's divorce, I just don't know it."

"After all, it was not up to me to decide this matter."

"He has to wait for my father's decision. As for when my father decides, that's my father's business."
