Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

This made Chen Qi feel like a dead dog, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look first. If I can see Dongfang Ruolan face to face, maybe I can figure out where the karma between myself and Sacred Heart Zhai came from."

Thinking about it, Chen Qi put down the books in his hands, then opened the door and walked out of the study room, heading towards the living room in the front yard.

......

In the living room of the Chen family's front yard, the silver-haired Shaw Brothers was greeting a middle-aged man in his forties who was dressed as a scholar in long gowns and had a moustache and an elegant temperament.

Chen Chuan's mother, Yang Shi, was also sitting beside them, and the three of them were talking and laughing.

Just judging from the absent-minded look on the middle-aged scribe's face and the occasional look of worry between his brows, it can be seen that he is not as happy as he appears on the surface.

This middle-aged scribe is Dongfang Zheng.

To be honest, Dongfang was very reluctant to come to Chen's Mansion, because he felt that his purpose of coming here was a bit difficult to say.

Last night, when his daughter told him that he was going home this time to break off the engagement with Chen Qi, the shock and anger in his heart naturally need not be mentioned, and he was definitely unwilling to agree.

Just thinking about his daughter's words, and considering his daughter's future, he finally agreed.

Because according to her daughter Dongfang Ruolan, with the help of her master, she has become an alternate saint of Sacred Heart Zhai.

And if you want to become the Saintess of Sacred Heart Zhai, you must cut off your love, let alone get married.

If Dongfang Ruolan wants to become the saint of Sacred Heart Zhai, she must break off her engagement with Chen Qi.

Therefore, the main purpose of her coming back this time is to understand the marriage contract on herself.

Dongfangzheng heard his daughter say this, he definitely didn't want to agree, and it was impossible for his daughter to escape into Buddhism and live alone for the rest of her life.

It's just that what Dongfang Ruolan said later moved Dongfang Zheng.

According to Dongfang Ruolan, Sacred Heart Zhai is not an ordinary sect of Immortal Martial Arts. Once she can become a saint of Sacred Heart Zhai, she will be vigorously cultivated by Sacred Heart Zhai and obtain the true inheritance of Sacred Heart Zhai.

Such a long life is expected, and immortality can be expected.

Even if the competition for the title of saintess fails, she can embark on the journey of immortality and hope to ascend to immortality.

It's just that without the full support of Sacred Heart Zhai, the road to immortality is more tortuous and difficult.

Dongfang was completely silent when he heard this reason.

Although he is very optimistic about Chen Qi, he also thinks that Chen Qi is a good match and can guarantee his daughter's happiness for the rest of her life.

However, this kind of happiness is so insignificant in the face of immortality and longevity.

If his daughter could really ascend to immortality, then even if he died, he would still be able to smile at Jiuquan.

The only ones who feel a little sorry are probably the members of the Chen family.

Is one's own face important, or her daughter's fairy fate?

This choice is not difficult.

So Dongfangzheng agreed to his daughter's request to withdraw the engagement without hesitation, and decided to come to Chen's mansion in person to apologize to Chen's father, mother, and Chen Qi.

At the side, Chen's mother was also a little absent-minded when she was talking with her mother-in-law Shao and her prospective in-law Dongfang Zheng.

Because she also felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

I can't say that my son is promising. In order to have a better future, I want to regret my marriage and marry a real top family daughter, so I can only let your daughter be an ordinary wife.

In that case, she really couldn't say it.

I can only pray that my husband Chen Yi will come back as soon as possible, and then let Chen Yi get Dongfang Zheng drunk, and then use the drunkenness to speak again.

This is also a solution that Yang and her husband discussed last night.

If Dongfang can understand, it would be great, and he will solve this matter directly.

If Dongfangzheng hears about this, disagrees and reacts greatly, then excuse the slip of the tongue after drinking, and slowly figure it out later.

This can also avoid real embarrassment.

It has to be said that both parents have worked hard and paid a lot for their children.

When Chen Qi came to the living room, he happened to watch the three talking and laughing.

"Qi'er has met grandmother, mother, and Uncle Dongfang."

The three of them stopped talking immediately and looked at Chen Qi.

Dongfang was seeing Chen Qi, his face was a little unnatural, he smiled and asked concerned: "Ziming is here, how is it, this time Chang'an will try, can you gain anything?"

"Thank you, Uncle Dongfang, for your concern. During this trip to Chang'an, Ziming felt that he has gained a lot from seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's great. Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading thousands of books. Young people should see the outside world more, so that they can broaden their horizons and apply what they have learned."

Dongfangzheng smiled and nodded, looking at Chen Qi in front of him, feeling very sorry.

What a son-in-law!

It's a pity that a good son-in-law is rare, and a daughter's fairy fate is even more rare, so I can only feel sorry for my son-in-law.

After seeing Chen Qi, Dongfangzheng stayed for a while, and chatted with Shao and Yang for a while.

In this way, while Yang was waiting anxiously, Father Chen finally came back.

After all, Chen Qi's grandmother, Shao's, was old. Not long after Chen's father came back, he felt a little mentally ill, and with Yang's support, he returned to the backyard.

In the end, he pulled Chen Qi out, and left the living room to Chen's father and Dongfang Zheng, so that they could continue their relationship, and had someone prepare drinks and bring them in.

As the saying goes, Dukang is the only one who can relieve worries!

With their minds full of thoughts, Father Chen and Dongfang Zheng quickly exchanged cups and drank each other.

When the wine was full, the drunken eyes were a little hazy, and both of them were a little drunk.

Of course, Dongfang was really drunk, but Father Chen couldn't say 523.

After all, when a scribe and a warrior drink together, it goes without saying who gets drunk first.

Looking at the drunk-eyed Dongfang Zheng, the thin-skinned Father Chen wanted to mention the marriage of the two families several times, but he was too embarrassed to say so.

Just when he finally made up his mind to speak, Dongfang Zheng on the opposite side burst into tears, covered his sleeves and cried bitterly: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry for you!"

Chen Yi, who was struggling, couldn't help being dumbfounded. How come his lines were robbed before he spoke?

"Brother Dongfang, why did you say that?"

"Brother Chen, this time it is my Dongfang family who is sorry for your Chen family. The marriage between Qi'er and Ruolan may not be possible!"

"what?"

"Brother Chen Xian, don't get excited, just listen to Brother Wei explain to you slowly..."

Dongfang Zhengjian's good brother Chen Yi was stunned after hearing the words, and opened his mouth to tell the whole story.

Of course, this story must have been edited and processed. It cannot be said that my daughter wants to compete for the position of Saintess of Sacred Heart Zhai, so she wants to kick Chen Qi.

Instead, he said that his daughter was lucky enough to meet Xianyuan, and some immortals wanted to take her to cultivate immortals, so...

Just as Dongfang Zheng finished explaining, he seemed to hear Chen Yi's surprised expression: "That's great!"

"What's great?"

Dongfang was baffled, and always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

He didn't know if he really drank too much, or what the situation was, but he always felt that Chen Yi on the opposite side was not only not angry but happy after hearing that he regretted the marriage.

"No, I mean it's a pity."

Chen Yi also reacted, and hastily explained, the surprise on her face disappeared, and it was replaced by a look of regret at the speed of Sichuan opera.

Dongfang was rubbing his eyes, thinking that he was just drunk and dazzled, so he didn't care, and said guiltily: "My dear brother, listen to me, this time it's all my brother's fault... "

Chen Yi may also be really drunk. After listening to Dongfangzheng's "why", she was greatly relieved, and at the same time couldn't help but started to tell her own "story".

"Brother Dongfang, I'm actually the one who's really sorry. A few days ago, Qi'er and his grandfather wrote a letter saying that they had arranged an engagement for Qi'er. After hearing this, our husband and wife naturally didn't want to, and we married Qi'er and Ruolan. The marriage contract was spoken out.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang's attitude is very firm..."

In this way, Father Chen began to talk about his "story" blah blah blah...  

Chapter 133

Oriental home, backyard.

Dongfang Ruolan was dressed in white and was playing the piano in the courtyard.

The melodious sound of the piano is as clear as a mountain spring playing among the green hills, and the tinkling sound seems to flow in people's hearts, making people forget all their troubles.

After a long time, the sound of the piano stopped and became inaudible. Dongfang Ruolan stood up, looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman who was also dressed in white beside her, and asked, "Aunt Xue, has my father not come back yet?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman named Aunt Xue shook her head, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, I can't figure it out, why not completely erase the Chen family, so as to save hidden dangers."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights.

Even the orthodox sect like Sacred Heart Zhai is no exception.

The battle for saintess in Sacred Heart Zhai is of great importance, and it is by no means peaceful and friendly.

Behind every candidate saintess, there are also their own supporters.

Fighting with each other, not to mention swords and swords, is also intrigue, which should not be underestimated.

For example, Dongfang Ruolan's marriage contract is the biggest handle.

Even if the divorce is successful this time, it will leave a huge handle and attract criticism from other forces.

After all, the dignified saint of Sacred Heart Zhai had a marriage contract with an ordinary person.

This is a huge stain on Dongfang Ruolan and even Sacred Heart Zhai.

If the matter got out, not to mention how outsiders would view it, the elders in Sacred Heart Zhai would not allow Dongfang Ruolan to become the saint of Sacred Heart Zhai and walk the world on behalf of Sacred Heart Zhai.

Dongfang Ruolan heard the words, and sighed quietly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

Dongfang Ruolan didn't know that this was a huge hidden danger, once her opponent found out, it would definitely cause him great trouble.

Just thinking about the forces behind the Chen family, she had no choice but to dismiss this idea.

"Although the Chen family is not very strong and can be destroyed with a backhand, Chen Qi's mother, the Yang family, is the fifth young lady of the Yang family in Qingzhou. It is said that she is very popular with the head of the Yang family."
