Chapter 6
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions.
Seeing the Chu family servants jogging after Wang Xuan, they knew that they had failed to stop him and let Wang Xuan break in.
Chu Yuanzhan was angry. These rubbish were useless. They couldn't even stop him. Let's see how I'll deal with you later!
But his expression was gone in an instant, and his face was full of smiles:
"Hahaha! It's all a joke, don't take it seriously, nephew!" He passed it over with a few words.
Without waiting for Wang Xuan to speak, he immediately said:
"My dear nephew, I have considered your engagement with Yan'er."
"Although this engagement was made between me and my brother, according to etiquette, I should discuss it with your father in person."
"But in an emergency, since you insist on breaking off the engagement, I can only agree."
Chu Yuanzhan is indeed an old man who has been in the court for several years. This move, with both cutting and beating, directly puts the responsibility of breaking off the engagement on Wang Xuan. Even if the King of Zhenbei questions him, it is reasonable and well-founded.
Wang Xuan naturally knows what Chu Yuanzhan, the old fox, wants to do, so he narrowed his eyes and watched him perform quietly.
Seeing that Wang Xuan didn't say anything, Chu Yuanzhan thought he was controlled by him, and thought:
"Even if you are the prince of a royal palace, so what? Aren’t you still under my control?"
"It's a pity that the Zhenbei King has a great reputation, but his son is so useless."
But it is precisely because Wang Xuan is a waste that the Chu family has been able to gain so much benefit from the Zhenbei King's Mansion over the years.
Chu Yuanzhan straightened his body, put away his smile and snorted coldly:
"Although I agree to cancel the marriage, my dear nephew, what you did yesterday was too much!"
"He actually slapped Yan'er in front of so many people!"
"You must give an explanation for this matter!"
His words were full of majesty.
Wang Xuan looked at him with interest:"Oh? What explanation do you want?"
Chu Yuanzhan smiled:"There is no need to embarrass you, my dear nephew. You just need to set up a banquet and pour tea to apologize to Yan'er, and then compensate with ten bottles of Dahuan Dan."
He was very satisfied with his arrangement.
On the one hand, he could show his reputation. A reputation of not fearing the powerful was enough for him to be like a fish in water in the court.
Secondly, he could get precious martial arts secret medicine, which he could give to Lin An and his sons. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Chu Siyan was even more relieved when she saw this.
Wang Xuan, aren't you amazing? You dare to slap me in the face!
Why can't you be tough in front of my father?
You are still that waste!
Wang Xuan glanced at Chu Yuanzhan, who looked proud, and slowly said:
"It's not impossible to apologize by pouring tea"
"Ten bottles of Da Huan Dan are nothing."
Chu Yuanzhan stroked his short beard with an expression that said,"As expected."
Chu Siyan showed a look of contempt, while Lin An smiled disdainfully.
But the next moment, Wang Xuan's expression gradually turned cold.
"but——"
"——You are just a small 4th rank censor"
"Are they worthy?"
Chu Yuanzhan's smile froze, and he looked at Wang Xuan in disbelief.
You know, Wang Xuan used to call him"Uncle Chu", how could he treat him like this!
Then his face darkened, and he looked intimidating without anger:
"My dear nephew, didn’t the king teach you the etiquette of respecting elders?"
"As the eldest son of a royal family, he is so disrespectful to his elders. Tomorrow, I will make a memorial to the emperor to explain to him how the King of Zhenbei taught his son!"
As the Chief Censor, he has the duty to report and impeach, and it is common for him to report rumors.
Although his position is low, even the ministers in the cabinet dare not offend him lightly.
Wang Xuan sneered:"Don't forget, how did you get this position?"
"If it weren't for the operations of my Zhenbei Palace over the past few years, how could you have climbed from a poor scholar to the position of Chief Censor today?"
"Besides, my father only associates with you for my sake."
"Otherwise, what does he want from you?"
"Do you think you are ungrateful and fickle?"
Chu Yuanzhan was furious and stood up and yelled,"How dare you!"
"I am a fourth-rank censor promoted by the emperor himself. How can I allow a young boy like you to insult me like this?"
Chu Fang also stood up at this time:
"My dear nephew, even if Yan'er doesn't like you, why should you vent your anger on my Chu family!"
"Nowadays, love between men and women is all about mutual consent. Why do you have to do this?"
"Apologize to your uncle Chu quickly, otherwise not only will Yan'er ignore you, but even your aunt will look down on you!"
Chu Fang sighed, thinking that he looked hopeless.
As Yan'er's mother, she was willing to let Yan'er marry Wang Xuan at first.
But after getting along, she felt that Wang Xuan was too stupid and not a good match for her daughter.
But she didn't say anything. After all, for so many years, their family relied on the support of the Zhenbei Palace. Not only did they thrive in the court, but they also made a lot of money in business.
Today, hearing Wang Xuan's disrespectful words, she was even more unhappy.
Wang Xuan snorted coldly.
Over the years, in order to please Chu Siyan, he gave Chu Fang countless precious jewelry accessories and helped her family solve many problems.
I didn't expect that today he would not even say a word for him. It's ridiculous that such a person who doesn't know right from wrong! Seeing Wang Xuan being denounced by everyone, Lin An felt quite comfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but jump out and questioned:
"You keep saying that you love Yu Yan'er, but look at what you have done!"
"He slapped Yan'er on the spot yesterday, and today he even went to Uncle Chu's house to force him to cancel the engagement!"
"Is this what a gentleman should do?"
Faced with this kind of lucky dandy, Lin An looked down on him.
He had endless resources in his hands, but he didn't know how to cherish them.
If he had such a good life, his achievements would have been limitless!
Chu Siyan directly picked up the marriage certificate from the main table and threw it in front of Wang Xuan:
"I'll return this marriage certificate to you. From now on, there will be no relationship between you and me!"
After doing this, Chu Siyan felt very happy. She finally got her revenge.
Wang Xuan looked at Chu Yuanzhan and said calmly:
"Lord Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Yuanzhan glanced at Wang Xuan and snorted coldly:
"Yan'er's meaning is what I mean"
"The marriage certificate has been given to you, and it is what you wished for. In that case, then leave early!"
"We haven't had lunch yet because we were waiting for you! We can eat early if you leave."
""Show him away!"
With a command, two strong servants came and pulled Wang Xuan away.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make Wang Xuan move even a little bit.
""Wait!" Wang Xuan shouted
"What? Is there anything else, nephew?" Chu Yuanzhan made an impatient sound
"Let me tell you, Wang Xuan, if you want to beg me to change my mind, that is absolutely impossible!"
Chu Siyan thought that Wang Xuan was going to do something again, so she hurriedly said it in advance.
Wang Xuan smiled disdainfully:"You think too much."
"Since the engagement between this prince and you, Chu Siyan, has been cancelled"
"Then return all the land deeds and land properties, as well as various natural treasures that my Zhenbei Palace has given you over the years!"
Chu Yuanzhan frowned.
The land deeds and land properties, natural treasures and land properties given by the Zhenbei King are a huge fortune.
If they are all returned, what will the Chu family eat? What do they use?
The salaries of officials in the Daqian court are at the bottom of the list in all dynasties.
Chu Yuanzhan only has 24 stones of grain a month, which is about 4,320 kilograms of grain.
Converted to now, it is only about 10,000 yuan a month.
And that's all, there is basically no welfare.
You know,"Living in Luodu is not easy."
As the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, the prices are also one-to-one.
If it weren't for the assets given by the Zhenbei Palace, his Chu family would also be very difficult to live.
Seeing that Chu Yuanzhan didn't speak, Wang Xuan laughed:
"What? You, the dignified Chief Censor, still want to refuse to pay your debt?"
"You still want to report me to His Majesty?"
"How can you be the Chief Censor if you are not upright!"
Chu Yuanzhan's face changed drastically. Wang Xuan's accusation was serious!
You should know that the Chief Censor is innocence.
Otherwise, your advice will not convince people, and it is easy for people to catch it and attack you.
Chu Yuanzhan can maintain his upright personality in the position of Chief Censor because he has the"legal" support of Zhenbei Palace.
After all, the gifts from Zhenbei Palace that his Chu family received were all received in the name of betrothal gifts.
In name, these belong to Chu Siyan, not the Chu family.
As for Chu Siyan's willingness to use these assets to subsidize her family, it is also legitimate.
But now that the engagement has been withdrawn, these assets should also be returned to Zhenbei Palace.
Chu Yuanzhan didn't think of these at first. After all, for so many years, he subconsciously thought that these assets belonged to his Chu family.
If he had to return them, he really couldn't bear to do so.
Before Chu Yuanzhan could come up with a reason to refuse, Lin An jumped out first.
