C68 Proactive Marriage Annulment
The efficiency of the Yutang Country Imperial Family was still very fast, especially the orders given by the Duobao Sect.
Although the matter of the Nie Family being bestowed the title of a king had not been reported by the entire nation, it had already begun to be implemented, and the imperial edict had already been issued.
After Nie Zhen said goodbye to Officer Ye, he went down the mountain. At this moment, Lee Feng and the others were still walking around in the peach tree forest. Nie Zhen reckoned that they would not be able to see Officer Ye before dusk.
Nie Zhen still stayed within the Yutang City for a day. After all, he still had to greet Lee Feng, Murong Cheng, and the rest. During the process, Liu Tie came to congratulate him, which he also responded with a smile.
And in these two days, Nie Zhen's achievement of winning the exam championship and getting a thousand points had long passed him through various paths.
Inside the Wu Steel Manor, Duke Chisong was discussing many official matters of the Wu Steel Manor with the two great elders and Chief Steward.
Suddenly, the sound of soldiers from Duke Chisong's house came through the door, saying that it was a letter from Master Tang Jun.
Upon hearing that it was Tang Jun's letter, Liu Tie immediately stopped the meeting. After all, Trial Convention was the most important thing, and if Tang Jun could enter the Duobao Sect, then it would definitely be a joyous occasion for the Duke Chisong Manor.
Duke Chisong's Mansion Soldier handed the letter to Tang Tian and then left. Tang Tian then excitedly opened the envelope and took out the letter.
"Hahaha, good!" Halfway through reading the letter, Tang Tian cheered loudly.
"Jun'er has sent a letter. He obtained a good result of thirty-seven spots in the Trial Convention this time, and now that he remains in the Yutang City, he has to prepare for the Duobao Sect entrance examination. From the tone of his voice, it seems that he has a good chance of entering the Duobao Sect!" Tang Tian's expression was as if he had eaten honey.
"Yo yo!" Congratulations, Patriarch! My Tang Family's ancestor has a spirit, looks like my Tang Family will have someone in the Duobao Sect in the future, haha … " The two Great Elders really wanted to celebrate.
"With Second Young Master's character, as long as you enter the Duobao Sect, you should also be able to reap the benefits. In the future, you should be able to benefit quite a bit from my Wu Steel Manor." Chief Steward was a bit more rational, but he looked very happy.
After he finished reading the letter, his expression became very strange. After pondering for a moment, he immediately ordered Second Steward, "Second Steward, take Le'er and go to the Murong Family right now. If Le'er has any grievances on the road, you can do whatever you want with her, and I will allow you to use the family law first!"
Second Steward naturally knew why he brought xiaojie to Murong Family, but he opened his mouth and asked: "This subordinate accepts the order, but regarding the matter of annulling the engagement with the Murong Family, I hope the Marquis can give me an order."
Liu Tie said indifferently: "As long as it's appropriate, then it's fine. In short, we'll take the initiative to end the engagement, and Murong Family will give us a certain amount of compensation. We'll go through the process!" Don't embarrass the Wu Steel Manor, but you can't bully the Murong Family too much either. So, is it possible for Second Steward to grasp the measure of this? "
"Yes, sir."
"Master Hou …" Chief Steward squinted: "Could it be that the champion of Trial Convention is …"
Tang Tian gazed into the distance and said indifferently: "Flowers and Guiyan City … In his letter, he said that he had heard from Nie Zhen that Nie Zhen had already been named by the Duobao Sect and directly entered the Duobao Sect. The main task of Duobao Sect was to order the royal family to confer Nie Zhen's father, Prince Qijian, the title of Marquis. The future of Nie Family is limitless …. "
Tang Jun was in the Yutang City after all, and he had some ties with Nie Zhen, so the information he received was naturally faster than others. After he received this information from Nie Zhen, he was afraid that his sister would interfere with the marriage annulment and send people to quickly report it to the family, afraid that they would not do well in any aspect and damage their relationship with the Nie Family.
Two days later, Murong Family …
As Murong Liang and Murong Lee were both at home, they suddenly received a report from outside the door, saying that Liu Steel Manor's Second Steward and Miss Liu Steel were waiting in front of the mansion to pay a visit to the Murong Family Patriarch. They immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Please..." Since things had gotten to this point, Murong Liang could not hide anymore, so he could only invite them.
However, when Second Steward brought Tang Le here, he saw the unwillingness on Tang Le's face, as if everyone owed her millions of silver taels. He also felt that the matter wasn't that simple.
After the tea was served, Murong Liang took the lead and said, "I wonder what is Second Steward's visit for?"
"Is it possible that Chief Murong doesn't know what he is doing?" Second Steward smiled at Murong Liang and glanced at Murong Lee at the same time.
Here it comes...
Murong Liang and Murong Lee's hearts tightened at the same time. Liu Tie gritted his teeth and said, "Second Steward, please enlighten us."
"Forget it." Second Steward put down his teacup and said to Murong Liang: "Patriarch Murong, my marquis has recently heard many rumors and slanders from within the city, and they are all related to your young master and Nie Family. Could it be that you have not heard of them at all?"
"This …" He knew everything. However, he did not want to force Murong Lee too much, but he was afraid that the Wu Steel Manor would be angry, and he was stuck in a dilemma. The only thing he could do was to wait for a day.
Just as Murong Lee was about to speak, he was stopped by Murong Liang who stood up and said to Second Steward: "I hope that Second Steward can tell me what the Marquis wants me to do. I will definitely do my best if my Murong Family is capable of doing so."1
Second Steward said leisurely: "The fact that Young Master and the Nie Family woman are entangled with each other has really disgraced my Wu Steel Palace, so this time, I came under the order of my marquis to announce the end of the marriage in Murong Family."
"Hmm? Withdraw from the engagement? " Murong Liang and Murong Lee looked at each other. The former was puzzled while the latter was pleasantly surprised. Murong Lee almost blurted out that he agreed.
In the end, Murong Liang was old and experienced, so he had more thoughts than usual. He was afraid that Duke Chisong's house was up to something, and it was normal to say that they wanted to urge the marriage, so how could Duke Chisong's house come to end it?
"Second Steward's meaning is …"
Second Steward interrupted: "Our families will cancel the engagement, and because the responsibility for this falls on your Murong Family, we will need to compensate the losses, does Patriarch Murong understand?"
So they were here to extort money! Murong Liang understood now, this was easy to do. Although there was a need for compensation, Murong Family and industry were big and this bit of compensation was still affordable, as long as the matter could be properly settled.
Under normal circumstances, if a wealthy family had offended a duke, they could use compensation to settle the matter. That would already be considered a victory.
"Second Steward, don't worry. We will prepare the compensation items immediately. I hope that Second Steward can speak up for us when he sees Duke Chisong..." Murong Liang's mood was elated.
Second Steward nodded and said to Murong Liang, "I will be staying here for a day. I hope Patriarch Murong can arrange everything in one day."
With that, Second Steward left the Mu Rong family with the reluctant Tang Le. Before he left, Tang Le was glaring at Murong Lee, but Second Steward glared at her back.
Only after the two of them left did the Murong father and son heave a sigh of relief, as if they had sent away two fiends.
Until now, Murong Liang didn't think that Duke Chisong was that easy to talk to. He always felt that it was inconceivable and was afraid that there was some conspiracy. Knowing that the next day, he personally handed the compensation to Second Steward and that Second Steward also took Tang Le and left, he finally believed that this matter was over.
However, in order to deal with this matter, Murong Liang had already taken out his capital. He directly took out two of the most valuable cities in the Murong Family as compensation. He was afraid that Second Steward wouldn't accept it.
"Li'er, do you think Duke Chisong took the wrong medicine? When did he become so easy to talk to …" After sending off Second Steward and Tang Le, Murong Liang looked at Murong Lee with a puzzled expression.
"Father, although Duke Chisong had to compromise for some specific reason, I still have a feeling that this matter is related to Nie Zhen …" Murong Lee said seriously.
Murong Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I admit that this Nie Family child is indeed a genius. I don't know what will happen to him in the future, but to say that he is able to shake Duke Chisong's decision, I'll have to hold back …"
"I still insist that it's because of Nie Zhen. This person is most proficient at creating miracles." Murong Lee insisted.
Just at this time, a pigeon that was specially sent by Murong Family fell into Murong Liang's hands. Murong Liang opened the envelope and looked: "Okay! Cheng'er has successfully squeezed into the top hundred in Trial Convention, and will have the chance to enter Duobao Sect to cultivate! "
Before Murong Lee could feel happy about it, Murong Liang suddenly said in a serious tone, "Li'er, I have to admit that you are much stronger than me in the eyes of others..."
"Father said …"
"Sigh …" Murong Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Nie Family Nie Zhen obtains 1000 points in terms of Trial Convention, strongly obtaining the position of Trial Convention champion, directly entering the direct line of Duobao Sect. Nie Family Patriarch Nie Zhuang will be the champion, Nie Zhen will be the marquis, and the emperor will be the marquis … Rushing into the sky … "Li'er, you have good eyes …"
At the same time, Duke Chisong's residence …
"Second Steward, how did you do it!" Tang Tian glared at Second Steward and said.
"This …" Second Steward didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This subordinate really didn't think that Murong Family would be so generous, delivering two cities at once … "This..."
"Hey!" Second Steward, you have truly wronged my Wu Steel Manor! If Nie Zhen finds out about this, won't he think that my Wu Steel Manor is extorting Murong Family? "What do you think Nie Zhen would think of my Wu Steel Manor?" Tang Tian sighed.
The current Duke Chisong, Tang Tian, already had to pay attention to Nie Zhen's every move, or even a trace of his thoughts, but he would not be dissatisfied, because this was a world where strength was everything. The current Nie Zhen, in terms of position, was even higher than the Yutang Country Emperor.
