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

Hearing what he said, Lu Chen was immediately "shocked" and said, "Why did my father-in-law say this?"

"It's nothing."

Li Yuanwai said calmly: "It's just that Xiaomin suddenly feels that the little girl is mediocre in appearance and has low conduct. She is not worthy of a noble man like Mr. Lu."

After a slight pause, he suddenly stretched out his hand and took out the marriage contract that Lu Chen had signed before shamelessly asking for it, and then said without hesitation:

"As the saying goes, if the family is not in the right place, the household is in the wrong place. This marriage was done carelessly by the common people at first. After careful consideration in the past few days, the common people thought that we, a merchant family, are full of copper stench. We really shouldn't treat Master Lu like this. A big shot with a bright future has some evil ideas, so in my opinion, it’s better to let go of my daughter’s marriage to Mr. Lu.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt secretly happy.

He originally didn't want to have anything to do with his predecessor's fiancée, and in his predecessor's memory, Li Yuanwai's daughter didn't seem to be a fuel-saving lamp.

Before, he was thinking about how to reject the marriage, but he didn't expect that after offending the Queen Mother, Mr. Li would just and decisively propose to regret the engagement.

Wouldn't it be nice to have one less trouble in an instant?

Of course, there was no need for him to drive away Luo Xiaoyu, the daughter of his best friend who was a sister to her predecessor's mother, and a cousin who had been dependent on her predecessor since her parents died.

After all, the deeds to his family's land and property were quietly changed to Luo Xiaoyu's name.

After he ascends to the fairy world, if there is a chance, she will find ways to give Luo Xiaoyu a fairy fate. If there is no chance, she can also take the property and the rest that he got from selling some of the elixirs rewarded by the system some time ago after he ascends. The elixir will return to Yongchuan, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

In the name of his extreme loyalty and the unspoken rule that officialdom does not bring harm to the family, and with the support of the immortal who ascended during the day, basically no one will interfere with her future life.

And just when he was thinking this, Luo Xiaoyu who was standing by was furious. He looked at Member Li with eyes full of anger. Before Lu Chen could speak, he loudly defended him and said:

"That's too much! Mr. Li, if you hadn't forced me to catch my son-in-law and made it known to everyone on purpose, how could my cousin marry your shrew-like daughter? Now whenever something happens to my cousin, you'll run away in a hurry. Come here and regret your marriage, you are such a capricious villain, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"Nonsense, Mr. Lu is a literary star who has descended to earth, and is destined to become a famous figure in history in the future. What could happen?"

Li Yuanwai glanced at her with contempt, and then said matter-of-factly:

"Xiao Min just feels that my daughter is not worthy of Mr. Lu, and may even affect Mr. Lu's future, so he came here to break off the engagement. This is all for Mr. Lu's sake. Xiao Min is kind-hearted, but you ignorant wild girl doesn't appreciate it. Forget it, you still confuse right and wrong, it’s simply unreasonable!”

Luo Xiaoyu almost burst out of anger when he heard that he actually beat him up.

"You...you shameless villain! You..."

She wanted to say more, but Lu Chen suddenly raised his hand and stopped her from saying any more.

"Xiao Yu, stop talking."

Luo Xiaoyu was startled for a moment, then said with a reluctant expression: "But cousin, this old guy..."

"obedient."

Lu Chen shook his head and stopped Luo Xiaoyu from speaking again.

Although Mr. Li looked a bit ugly, for him, it was a good thing.

Cutting off this mortal thread will also be beneficial to him after he becomes an immortal, and Luo Xiaoyu's fierce reaction seems to push this good thing out.

He couldn't let it ruin his good deeds.

Seeing Lu Chen's determination, although Luo Xiaoyu looked unhappy, she still shut her mouth obediently and glared at Mr. Li with puffed-up cheeks, like a little wild cat ready to pounce and bite at any time.

After grabbing Luo Xiaoyu, Lu Chen raised his head slightly and stared at Mr. Li.

"Uncle Li, do you really want to break off the engagement?"

He no longer pretended to address his father-in-law. Since the other party no longer gave him face, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.

Li Yuanwai said without hesitation: "Of course it is true. Although Xiaomin is insignificant, he also knows etiquette, justice and shame. How can he make fun of his daughter's life-long event?"

Lu Chen asked knowingly: "But because I offended the Queen Mother?"

Officer Li curled his lips slightly, "I don't know what Mr. Lu is talking about."

Although he was denying it, there was no hint of denial on his face.

"Understood."

Lu Chen lowered his eyes, pretending to be dejected and dejected, then nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Since Mr. Li has made up his mind, I will not force you any longer. I just hope that Mr. Li will not regret it."

Hearing this, Yuan Li seemed to have heard some big joke and couldn't help but grin.

"Hahaha! Mr. Lu, don't worry. The most important thing in doing business is honesty. Xiaomin is a businessman, so he will naturally be based on honesty. Whatever he decides, he will never regret it!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and said with great pride: "Not to mention regret, if I have even a little bit of regret in my heart, I will immediately be struck by five thunders from the sky and die badly!!"

What a joke. Lu Chen, an idiot, blatantly pledged his allegiance to the insignificant puppet emperor in the court, directly offending the Queen Mother Zhao to death. The end is destined to be miserable.

Resignation from office is certain. If Queen Mother Fengyan becomes furious, Lu Chen may even be exiled to the ends of the earth, no matter how good his grades in the scientific examination are.

regret?How can it be? !

An almost worthless idiot with nothing to regret.

Hurry up and take advantage of the fact that this guy has entered the Queen Mother's sight and still has a little value. Isn't it better to be a handsome man who understands current affairs than to marry him?

Seeing him vowing never to regret it, Lu Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

That's it!

But on the surface, he still looked sad.

"In that case, let's let this marriage go."

Hearing this, although Luo Xiaoyu did not directly persuade him, he looked at Lu Chen with a look of distress and concern and thought to himself:

'My cousin was already very depressed because of what happened in court, and this damn old guy actually came over to add insult to injury. '

'Suffering such heavy blows one after another, my cousin must be very sad now. It seems that I have to take more care of my cousin in the near future. Otherwise, even if my cousin is mentally strong, there is no guarantee that he will not have an accident...'

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Mr. Li.

It's all this old guy's fault!Damn profiteers, one day they will be struck by thunder from heaven! !

While she was thinking this, she didn't notice that Lu Chen beside her was so "sad" that the corner of his mouth twitched.

Almost laughed out loud.

Li Yuanwai naturally noticed Luo Xiaoyu's unkind eyes. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, it was definitely not a good thing.

But he didn't care.

Thinking about it, Lu Chen would be dismissed from office today or tomorrow, and he would be a commoner by then. Moreover, he had offended the Queen Mother. Even if the Queen Mother was concerned about her face and would not directly crush him to death, the Queen Mother's people would not let him go.

He's just a fool destined to end miserably, what's there to be afraid of?

Therefore, Yuan Li didn't even pay attention to Lu Chen, so he naturally didn't care about the yellow-haired girl next to him.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at Luo Xiaoyu and ordered:

"Xiao Yu, go get the marriage certificate."

"Ah."

Although Luo Xiaoyu was unhappy, he still listened to Lu Chen's words. He trotted to the cabinet on the side and took out a big red letter from it.

"Refreshingly, Mr. Lu is indeed an open-minded person, and the common people admire him!"

Mr. Li finally said a kind word sincerely.

After a while, Luo Xiaoyu came back, and then angrily slammed the marriage certificate in Li Yuanwai's hand.

Officer Li was not upset at all. The moment he took the marriage certificate, he used both hands to tear it into pieces.

Lu Chen stared at the scraps of paper in Li Yuanwai's hand, and an imperceptible smile flashed quietly in his eyes. On the surface, he looked heavy, as if he was immersed in great sorrow and unable to extricate himself.

"Xiao Yu, see you off."

"Okay, cousin."

Luo Xiaoyu responded immediately, walked quickly to the door, then looked at Mr. Li as if he were looking at garbage, and said in a muffled voice: "Please, Mr. Li."

After achieving his goal, Yuan Li didn't care what Luo Xiaoyu's attitude was, he just stepped forward and left the small courtyard.

And not long after Li Yuanwai left, Lu Chen secretly rejoiced under Luo Xiaoyu's extremely concerned gaze——

boom!

In the direction of Ziji City, a dazzling golden beam suddenly rose into the sky and went straight into the sky.

At the same time, the entire capital suddenly trembled violently.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and subconsciously looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky in the direction of Ziji City.

For some reason, the moment he saw the beam of light, an ominous premonition surged deep in his heart for no apparent reason.

Chapter 5

Zichen Palace.

Jiang Chengwan stood by the window, looking out the window at the sky above where the warm sun was shining brightly. The purple energy that only she could see continued to gather in the middle, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

After years of planning, success or failure depends on this!

After a while, the red sun rose to the center, and countless purple energy gathered into a ball, like an air bomb that had been compressed to the extreme and then materialized.

At this moment, Jiang Chengwan's eyes suddenly condensed, and he said silently in his heart:

"Brother Emperor, are the soldiers ready?"

at the same time.

Cangming realm.

Linyuan City, Dongcheng Campus.

A total of [-] tall soldiers in black armor stood quietly in the howling cold wind.

No matter how biting the wind and snow around them were, their figures did not waver at all.

It's like a piece of solid rock connected to the earth.

With such a military appearance, there is no one else in Cangming Mirror except the Xuanwu Guards, the most elite of the 20 Cangming Army, who frightened the foreign races outside the region.
