Chapter 173 Retirement

Gu Nuannuan's voice attracted everyone's attention.

He simply didn't think about hiding, and walked out directly.

"Gu Nuannuan has met Master Yang, since this matter is related to me, please forgive Nuannuan for speaking out."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Master Yang, with a faint smile on his face, and a pair of eyes shining with a different kind of brilliance.

Before Master Yang could speak, the common people around exploded.

"This is Miss Gu? She looks so pretty!"

"That's right, what's that sentence called? Oh, yes, it's all over the country!"

"That's right, I thought Mrs. Chen was pretty good before, but now I compare it, it's like a flower stuck in cow dung!"

"Hahahaha, that's a good analogy! It's just that, as a woman, Miss Gu is discussing her life's important affairs in court..." The person shook his head, "This is inappropriate."

"That's right, Miss Gu's reputation may be gone today."

"Did you hear what she said just now? I think this Miss Gu was forced to get married. You also know that Mrs. Gu spoils concubines and destroys wives. If Mrs. Chen is really good, why don't you give it to Mrs. Gu?" Miss?"

"That's right, that's the reason!"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

At this time, Chen Ziqian also came back to his senses, and what Gu Nuannuan said just now was still ringing in his ears, but he didn't think Gu Nuannuan was telling the truth, it must be because of Yang Tao, which made her jealous.

Thinking of this, a gentle look appeared on his face: "Cousin, this is not a place for you to come. As a woman, how can you talk about your marriage in public? You should leave quickly..."

"Why not? I naturally have the right to express my opinion on my affairs."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Chen Ziqian amusedly.

Chen Ziqian frowned imperceptibly, and said with a hint of sternness in his tone, "Big cousin, I'm doing it for your own good!"

"We're engaged, big cousin, you should listen to me."

"What the big cousin said about me just now, I think the big cousin is too angry, so I don't care about the big cousin."

"I will definitely give my eldest cousin an answer to the matter here, and my eldest cousin should leave first."

Putao's eyes widened, and she was very angry: "This man is really too much! Why do you let the lady listen to him before she is married?"

Feng Qi frowned, he clearly saw the disdain and aloofness on Chen Ziqian's face, and he clenched his hands slightly.

"Engaged? I'm sorry, my purpose today is to cancel the engagement." Gu Nuannuan said lightly, with the same smile on her face that made people feel relieved.

"Big cousin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Ziqian's eyes flashed a trace of ignorance, "Cousin, our marriage contract was made by my cousin himself, how can we just cancel it?"

"not to mention……"

"Shut up!" The smile on Gu Nuannuan's face disappeared, and a scolding not only made Chen Ziqian stunned, but even the people around him stopped talking.

Gu Nuannuan turned her head to look at Master Yang, and said word by word: "Today, Master Yang testified that I want to dissolve the engagement with Chen Ziqian!"

"This..." Master Yang frowned, "Miss Gu, this important marriage is the order of my parents..."

"Yes, my father didn't know that Chen Ziqian already had a fiancée, so he made this marriage contract for me. Now that he knows, it will definitely not continue."

"Your Majesty Yang is also a father. If this happens, will you continue to make your daughter betrothed?"

"Of course not." Master Yang said quickly, and then changed the topic, "It's just that Master Chen also said, but I don't know that this girl is still alive."

"Even if you don't know, shouldn't you be honest? But from the beginning to the end, Mr. Chen never told us that he had a marriage contract in the countryside."

Gu Nuannuan glanced at Chen Ziqian lightly: "Furthermore, the marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although my mother and my father reconciled, but after all, it was my mother who was pregnant and gave birth to me in October."

"Mr. Chen has never visited my mother once. Why should I be engaged to someone who disrespects my mother so much?"

Chen Ziqian came to his senses and said quickly, "Of course I want to visit Mrs. Su, but I'm still preparing gifts."

"Where does my mother live?" Gu Nuannuan looked at Chen Ziqian with a half-smile.

Chen Ziqian's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't care about Gu Nuannuan. Although he knew that he lived near the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't know which household it was.

"You don't even know the address, but you still want to deceive everyone that you will visit my mother?"

Chen Ziqian clenched his hand tightly and then released it. He took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't get entangled in this matter, and quickly changed the subject: "I was engaged to Yangliu back then, and there was no clear path, only me and her family knew... "

"Mr. Chen!" Yang Tao yelled, staring at Chen Ziqian with anger on his face, "What do you mean that only our two families know about it? Everyone in the village knew about our engagement back then! It was notarized by the village chief!"

"Yang Liu, don't talk nonsense, at that time..."

"At that time, Mr. Chen swore that even if I died, I would never have a second wife. Did Mr. Chen forget?"

Yang Liu stared at Chen Ziqian, her tone full of sorrow: "Mr. Chen made a promise in front of all the villagers. Mr. Chen is a scholar and he keeps his promise. Don't you want to admit it now?"

"Nonsense! My Chen family is a single descendant, how can I swear such an oath to end my Chen family's incense!"

Chen Ziqian flicked his long sleeves, and snorted coldly: "Yang Liu, we are definitely relatives, but we didn't exchange Geng Tie. After all, it is all fake, but I, Chen Ziqian, am not an ungrateful person, so I will naturally be responsible for you."

"My cousin is Miss Gu, the prime minister's nephew, and a generous person, it's not that I can't tolerate you..."

"I can't take it." Gu Nuannuan directly interrupted Chen Ziqian's words, and said lightly, "I'm not so big, and I have an extra sister before I get married."

"Cousin, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, you..." Chen Ziqian frowned, "What's the difference between you and a jealous woman?"

"Jealous woman?" Gu Nuannuan raised her eyebrows, chuckled twice, and looked at Master Yang: "Master Yang, if Mr. Chen is ungrateful and doesn't keep his promise, what should we do?"

Master Yang hesitated for a moment, and seeing Gu Nuannuan's determined face, he sighed helplessly: "Miss Gu, treacherous people will naturally judge according to the size of the matter. If it is small, it will reprimand you, and if it is large, you will be punished."

"Okay." Gu Nuannuan smiled, "Master Yang, I have witnesses to prove that Master Xu Ziqian is full of lies!"

Chen Ziqian smiled, his face was full of disapproval: "Cousin, why do you have such a fight with me, we are all a family!"

Gu Nuannuan did not answer Chen Ziqian's words, but looked at Mr. Yang, who naturally passed the witness.

When the village chief appeared, Chen Ziqian's face revealed a look of panic!
After the village chief told the story, everyone was shocked.

"My lord! I beg my lord to make the decision for me! The words of the girl and the village chief are enough to prove that Mr. Chen is lying!"

"If you can't do it, why promise? Hmph, I think Master Chen is a person who wants to climb high. I'm afraid he is secretly happy to know that this girl was murdered by a villain. Otherwise, why would he not even report to the official? After all, it is his own. Fiancee!"

Feng Qi's words caused everyone to nod frequently.

"That's right, why didn't you report it to the officials! It was obviously intentional!"

"Yeah, if you were really worried, you would have reported to the government long ago, but unlike now, the government didn't register at all!"

"It's a good thing the girl is fine, Mr. Chen is not a good man!"

Gu Nuannuan glanced at the crowd from the corner of her eyes, and said slowly: "Since the housekeeper of the Gu family is here, please come and invite my father."

"I would like to ask my father why he betrothed me to such a man of low moral character!"

"If dad still doesn't cancel my marriage with Chen Ziqian, I'd rather die! I'm dead, my dad forced me! My dad is the murderer!"

As she said that, Gu Nuannuan began to cry softly, and the tears dripped down her face, making people look very bitter.

"How does Mr. Gu choose his son-in-law? Even I would not let my daughter marry such a person!"

"That's right, what's the use of being famous? If you don't keep your promises, your official position will be lost sooner or later!"

"Yes, Miss Gu is also pitiful, to have encountered such a thing, hey..."

"Yeah, it's really uncomfortable!"

At this time, in Gu's mansion, Gu Wu and Mrs. Gu were taken aback when they got the news.

"What a rebellious woman!" Mrs. Gu slammed the table, "So what about a man who has three wives and four concubines? What's more, Ziqian is such an excellent man. Besides, hasn't this happened yet? They want to divorce their marriage! "

Gu Wu frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face: "Ziqian too, why didn't he say earlier that he had already engaged in marriage, and made such an oath!"

"That's Ziqian, who values ​​love and righteousness!" Old Madam Gu snorted coldly, "If you want to blame, blame you, the eldest daughter, for making trouble in the yamen!

"It's not right for the old lady to say that. It's not the eldest lady who went to the yamen to make trouble, but Chen Ziqian's fiancée who went to the yamen to file a complaint." Daisy raised the curtain and walked in, blessing the old lady Gu.

Then he looked at Gu Wu and said, "Master, don't be dazed, and quickly withdraw the marriage, and now the outside world has spread, if you don't withdraw, Master, then you will push the eldest lady into the fire pit, I'm afraid Tomorrow will be impeached!"

Gu Wu only felt that his mind was in a mess, and he deeply felt that what Daisy said was right, so he said to the butler, "Go and tell Mr. Yang, and say that the marriage is retiring. I don't know about this matter, and I feel very guilty. Remember, you must To tell everyone, I don’t know.”

The butler quickly responded and left quickly.

In the yamen, Chen Ziqian's face was slightly pale, his eyes were full of gloom, and he looked at Yang Tao and Gu Nuannuan coldly.

The butler came in a hurry and said quickly: "Our master didn't know about this, but he didn't expect Young Master Biao to make such a promise. Our master said that a gentleman must make a promise. Since Young Master Biao has already made this promise, naturally I want to marry Miss Xu."

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded and praised Gu Wu.

An unknown color flashed across Gu Nuannuan's eyes, and she sneered in her heart.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Chen Ziqian: "Master Biao, the master said that your marriage with the young lady is not counted, just exchange the Geng Tie back in front of everyone!"
