Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Hey! My son-in-law!"

As soon as Lu Chen walked to the door, Li Yuanwai's eager voice sounded behind him.

"Stay, stay!"

Lu Chen turned his head expressionlessly.

"Mr. Li, please don't talk nonsense. I and your daughter are pure and innocent. I haven't even touched a strand of black hair. I don't deserve Li Yuanwai's 'good son-in-law'."

Hearing this, Li Yuanwai's fleshy face was visibly panicked.

"Hey! My son-in-law, don't say that. Before, the old man was blinded by lard and drank a few horse urine, and then he fainted and ran over to break the engagement. Now that the old man is awake, why don't you hurry over here? Let’s rebuild it.”

Saying that, Li Yuanwai hurriedly pulled his daughter forward, and said in a good voice:

"From the first time I saw the virtuous son-in-law, the old man felt that the virtuous son-in-law had an extraordinary temperament, and he would definitely do something in the future. The old man also firmly believed that such a gentleman with good conduct and integrity like the virtuous son-in-law would definitely become the pillar of my Great Xia country. The Lord Qingtian who works for hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia! So how could this old man regret the marriage? This is all a misunderstanding!"

Li Baojin on the side was very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's indifferent attitude, but it seemed that he had been told something before he came here, and he spoke with a poor acting skills:

"Yeah, Lu Lang, my dad valued you so much, why would he object to our marriage? These days, my dad is full of regrets. He always sighs and sighs at home, and his hair has turned gray. If he didn't really know his mistake, how could he?" Will it be like this? Lu Lang, you have always valued love and righteousness, and you want to come..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lu Chen who almost spit out the overnight meal.

"Mr. Li, Ms. Li, you and I know right from wrong, so it's meaningless to say such things."

He patted Li Yuanwai's big fat hand away, and then said indifferently:

"Before, I was young and energetic, and I offended the Queen Mother Zhao regardless of my wealth. The end must have been miserable. Li Yuanwai, you came to regret the marriage in order to protect yourself. I understand that you didn't say anything serious to Li Yuanwai, and simply returned the marriage certificate. From then on, I have nothing to do with your Li family."

"Now that I am safe and sound, I may be lucky enough to get His Majesty's favor for a while, but you don't have to worry about private revenge. Now that the matter has passed, from now on, your Li family will follow your Yangguan Road, and I will walk alone on the single-plank bridge. , Mr. Li, why do you bother me to be clean?"

Hearing that Lu Chen didn't care about his previous remorse, Li Yuanwai's nervous expression suddenly relaxed in his small eyes.

Don't look at what Li Baojin said so arrogantly before, but he knows his own affairs.

Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been extremely low, and Great Xia is no exception.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants ranked at the bottom are a real reflection of their status, not just casual talk.

It's true that there are people in the Li family in the court, but if their family is really so powerful, they won't be doing such things as catching a son-in-law under the list.

In fact, Li Baojin's cousin, that is, his cousin, Su Dian, who has just been promoted to Xichuan Qingli Silang, has a bit of a relationship with their Li family, and they occasionally walk around, but it's nonsense to say how good the relationship is. up.

In essence, Su Dian just regards them as cash cows, called relatives, but in fact they are just a relationship of mutual use.

How could he be expected to sincerely stand up for their Li family?

Therefore, when Lu Chen said he would not hold grudges against them, Li Yuanwai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, in his opinion, a verbal promise is not as insured as a marriage contract written in black and white, so he said:

"Oh, I misunderstood you, my son-in-law. Is this the kind of person who is greedy for life and death, and only knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm? Not to mention offending the Empress Dowager Zhao, you are considered to have offended His Majesty. As long as the son-in-law is righteous, the old man will go bankrupt." I will also support my virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, we are a family, can this old man lie to you?"

Anyway, the Empress Dowager Zhao and her party members are almost cold, so it doesn't matter what he says, such words come naturally.

At this moment, Lu Chen really admired Li Yuanwai.

Even being able to say such words, this person's face is really thick...

If he had had such a face before time travelling, he wouldn't have gotten into such a miserable situation.

But admiration is all admiration, he is too lazy to respond to this kind of nonsense who talks to people and talks nonsense.

What's more, Li Yuanwai's daughter...it's hard to describe...

This kind of heavyweight will marry whoever he likes, anyway, his small body will definitely not be able to bear it.

It can only be said that the predecessor's patience is really strong, whether it is material or spiritual...

Shaking his head, Lu Chen said bluntly: "Mr. Li, since your business can grow so big, it means that you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, then don't say such childish words that would make you laugh your ass off. , although I'm not smart, but I'm not a fool who doesn't know right from wrong. Besides, I believe that I have no grievances with Li Yuanwai. The last time the engagement was terminated, the grievances and grievances have been settled. Why did Li Yuanwai use this statement today to insult my IQ? ?”

Having said that, Lu Chen turned around again and walked inside.

Luo Xiaoyu on the side was about to close the gate to keep these two brazen tops out, so as not to pollute their yard.

As Lu Chen walked, he said solemnly: "Go back, Li Yuanwai, I have no relationship with the daughter of your family, and I can't compete with your Li family. Don't talk too much about getting married. Today, I will be Li Yuanwai's servant." In the future, I will never trouble your Li family in the future."

"The words, I have already made it very clear, if Li Yuanwai keeps pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!"

In the last sentence, Lu Chen emphasized his tone even more.

When Li Yuanwai heard the words, his body trembled and he was speechless.

At this moment, he finally realized that the young man in front of him, who seemed to him to be a fool in reading and reading, was not as easy to play with as he imagined.

And Li Baojin who was beside him saw that he was silent, and saw that Lu Chen left resolutely, and that "poor relative" Luo Xiaoyu, whom she had always looked down upon, was pulling the door again, so he got angry and shouted loudly at Lu Chen:

"Lu Lang, are you really so cruel? Do you want to be that heartless man?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen only felt that his three views were broken.

The corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

What? Am I cruel? Am I ungrateful? Still heartbroken?

Sister, can you be reasonable?

It was your father who came here to regret the marriage, and you didn't show your face during the whole process. You told me that you didn't know about it for such a long time?

Who is ungrateful?

And the predecessor didn't even touch your finger, so you're still heartbroken?

You guys are really good at fighting back and forth.

Sure enough, it's not that the whole family doesn't enter the family. As expected of a father and daughter, in terms of thick skin, I, Lu Chen, would like to call you the strongest!

Shaking his head, Lu Chen said without turning his head: "Ms. Li, please respect yourself. I and Ms. Li are innocent and have never had a physical relationship. Besides, your father, Li Yuanwai, came to the door to break the engagement first. I don't think so. This matter is a loss of morality."

"As the saying goes, sharing weal and woe together, since the Li family abandoned it like a pair of shoes when they were in trouble, why should they pretend to be here now? It's just annoying."

After the words fell, Lu Chen didn't stop any longer.

The gate of the small courtyard was also closed by Luo Xiaoyu with a "snap", leaving the father and daughter standing outside with bewildered faces, not knowing what to do for a while.
