The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 293 Listen Less Watch Less Ask Less

what?

Break off the engagement?

How can that work?

If the engagement is really cancelled, won't I have to return the money myself?

"Dad, now the whole city knows that Xia Xia is engaged to the Zhang family. If we cancel the marriage, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future!" Li Wenshan said anxiously, "We must not cancel the engagement! Even if the Zhang family boy takes a concubine, what's the problem? As long as Xia Xia is the mistress of the house, it's fine! Isn't everything in the Zhang family still in her hands?"

Li Wenshan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought. Li Xia Xia was anxious when she saw that her grandfather did not express his opinion. Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. Could it be that her grandfather still wanted to marry her?

At this moment, the old man picked up the tea on the table and threw it at Li Wenshan. The tea was newly added by Li Yin who was standing by, so it was still rolling.

Although he was wearing thick clothes now, the scorching temperature still made Li Wenshan grimace.

"You bastard, now that you have been kicked out of the Li family, don't call me dad. We are not familiar with each other. You don't have to ask about Xia Xia's marriage. This is my Li family's business."

Li Wenshan's face turned pale. He never expected that coming here today would make his father break off ties with him even more completely.

"I'm going to cancel this marriage!" Li Huaian helped Li Xia Xia up. "It's not like our Li family's daughter can't get married, so why should she marry into a family like the Zhang family that has no rules? She just became a scholar and already has so many concubines. If she really becomes the top scholar in the future, I don't know what she will become. Even if she really becomes a dragon and phoenix among men, she will never be a good husband."

Shang Ruoyi nodded secretly, thinking that her grandfather seemed to be a really nice person.

The old men sat there, not daring to say anything more, for fear that what they said would anger him again.

After a while, they all resigned and left.

Li Huaian did not go to see him off in person, but sent his butler to escort him out of the house.

In the past, if they came to his house, Li Wenshan would definitely send someone to send them home with gifts. But this time, he just sent them to the door, and the butler watched them leave with a smile on his face.

When they came, they rode together in a carriage to save some money, and thought they would go back in a sedan chair like before, but unexpectedly, they still rode in the same carriage.

Several people felt extremely unhappy.

"This Li Huaian is really getting more and more stingy. Not only did he not bring anything back, but he didn't even prepare a sedan chair."

"That's right. If we go back like this, we don't know what the neighbors will say about us."

Hearing this, the old man in white sighed and said, "It's not Huai'an's fault. We were a little impatient today."

"Anxious? How can I not be anxious? Big brother, that's pure silver!" An old man said, "If Wenshan can become the head of the family, each of our families can get a gold shop and a cloth shop, which is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

So what if it’s a few tens of thousands of taels?

The old man in white had a gloomy look in his eyes. If Li Wenshan was really kicked out of the Li family because of patricide, he would definitely not fulfill the things he promised them.

The other people also thought of this and were silent for a while.

The image of Shang Ruoyi appeared in front of the old man in white, with a dark look in his eyes.

This boy is definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, Li Huaian sat in the main seat, looking at Li Wenshan and his son who had not left yet, and said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing here?"

"Grandfather, you, you really don't recognize us?" Li Quan said with tears in his eyes, "Grandfather, I was blinded by greed before, so I did that. I will never dare to do it again, never again!"

There was no expression on Li Huaian's face. He just looked at the father and son coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"father······"

Li Huaian looked at the housekeeper and said sternly, "What are you doing? Why don't you have someone kick them out of the house? What are they doing here? It's disgusting just to look at them."

When the housekeeper heard this, he quickly ordered the servants to drag the two of them out of the house. Li Wenshan said nothing, standing in front of the house gate with a gloomy face. He looked at the huge "Li Mansion" on the plaque of the gate and whispered, "Sooner or later, I will take all this back."

Li Quan had a sad face and said to Li Wenshan, "Dad, what should we do? We really can't go back to the mansion now."

"Why are you crying?" Li Wenshan said in a deep voice, "You're useless." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. The whistling cold wind blew on his wet body, and he couldn't help shivering.

At this time, there were many pedestrians on the road. There were few people on this street who didn't know him. Now, seeing his appearance, they couldn't help but point at him.

"Did you see it? I heard that he was kicked out by the old man of the Li family."

"Kicked out? Why?"

"Why else? It is said that his son lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in gambling, and the old man was so angry that he drove them all out."

"That's not what you said." A short man said, "It is said that because he did not save the dying man, the old man had a heart attack and he did not want to find a doctor."

"What? This happened?"

"That's right. It just happened that day that I was delivering food to the Li family's residence. I heard it was true."

This man has been delivering vegetables to the Li family for many years. Everyone on this street knows it. What he said is most likely true. For a time, people looked at the impoverished father and son of the Li family with contempt on their faces. They didn't even save their own biological father and were worse than animals.

The man who delivered the dishes looked at the figure leaving at the corner, and the corners of his lips curved up. It seemed that he would be the one delivering the dishes to the Li family in the future.

The housekeeper returned to the main hall and told the old man what happened on the street: "Thanks to that food delivery man, otherwise someone might have gossiped about our family."

The old man nodded: "Yes! Since he is delivering the food, the food in our house in the future..."

"There's no need for him to deliver the food." Shang Ruoyi put down the tea in her hand and said calmly, "I remember that he was not the only one delivering the food that day! Is the other person on the street today?"

"Yes, young lady." The housekeeper knew her identity and said respectfully, "That man is really something. He didn't say a word for our family and let others speculate."

"It's him." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "From now on, let him deliver all the food in the mansion."

"Miss, why is this happening?"

"A servant actually openly discussed the master's right and wrong on the street, and eavesdropped on the master's family affairs when delivering food to the mansion. This shows that he has ulterior motives. He can't even do the duty of a servant. What is the point of him? The other person really listened less, watched less, and asked less."

When Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
