The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 55 55. Falling out

The dignified Ninth Prince's concubine had not even held her wedding ceremony with him, but such embarrassing rumors spread. How could he lose his face?

He has never had any feelings for Wei Lanxuan, she is just a pawn in the marriage, firstly because of her identity, and secondly because of her reputation.

After this incident, what is the use of Wei Lanxuan, whose reputation has been ruined?

Duke Wei was shocked, how could she act so recklessly?

He scolded Feng Jinyao, "Miss Feng, what are your intentions in sowing discord over and over again!"

He didn't miss it. It was Feng Jinyao who whispered something to Xu Mingyue just now, which made her furious and came to complain.

If it weren't for her, things wouldn't be where they are today, and the look in her eyes showed murderous intent.

After all, Duke Wei was an important minister, and his attitude of quarreling with scholars in the court was so frightening that even a grown man could tremble. He was afraid that his scolding would suppress the young ladies who wanted to complain, so the eldest prince spoke out in support with a cold face. .

"Miss Feng's words are reasonable. I think the king should hold off on announcing the decree. The royal family's reputation is not used to make wedding clothes for others."

After saying that, he glanced at Duke Wei, who had a fierce look on his face, and his warning was very obvious.

The power of the three Xu Baifeng families in the court is not low, especially that of Prime Minister Bai and Elder Xu Ge. They have disciples all over the world, and most of the civil servants follow their lead. If we can take this opportunity to win over them, it will be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. With this marriage, we can get help from three parties.

Seeing that the two sides were about to argue over this matter, Wei Lanxuan gritted her teeth, stood up straight, walked to Xiao Tingyi step by step, and knelt down heavily.

"What happened today all happened because of my daughter. I fell into the puddle before I could stand firm. Mr. Liang was kind enough to save my life, but he made Miss Xu unhappy and wanted to break off the engagement. This matter is my fault. Now, my servant My reputation has been ruined, and I am no longer a good match. I dare not delay the great future of the Ninth Prince. I still hope that the prince will fulfill my wish, and please take back the decree of the marriage."

Boom, boom, boom, as soon as she finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily to Xiao Tingyi. Her delicate skin soon turned purple, and against her pale face, she looked quite pitiful.

Duke Wei was shocked, "Lan'er, don't talk nonsense. How can there be any reason to revoke this imperial edict after it has been issued? Why don't we clean it up quickly and kneel down to accept the edict!"

"Grandfather, Lan Xuan's reputation has been ruined since she fell into the water. I am sorry for the cultivation of the Wei family and your love. Now my granddaughter will sacrifice her life in exchange for a clean reputation for the Wei family."

"No!"

"Lan'er!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hit the pillar next to him and was about to get a bloody head, but he was stopped by Feng Jinyao who was standing next to him.

The two fell to the ground, and the maids and servants were confused and rushed forward to help them.

Bai Siruo's face turned pale, and he ran over to pull Feng Jinyao to her feet, looking at her with horror.

"You're crazy!"

"I'm fine," he patted Bai Siruo's arm to indicate that she was indeed not injured. Then he turned to Wei Lanxuan, who was crying beside her, and said with a cold face, "Miss Wei, if something goes wrong with you, what will happen to you?" Wouldn’t it trap Sister Xu into injustice?”

After saying this, Bai Siruo suddenly realized.

The look in Wei Lanxuan's eyes was a bit more angry and contemptuous.

What a vicious heart!

Xu Mingyue also had her heart in her throat. If something bad happened, their rationality would become irrational.

By then, the rumor in the capital of Mandong will not be about Xu and Liang's family breaking off their engagement, but the rumor that they forced Miss Wei to death.

Fortunately, Feng Jinyao quickly stopped him with his quick eyes and hands.

"That's enough! I have no intention of marrying a princess who cares about others. My uncle, forgive me, but my nephew will take the first step."

The Ninth Prince didn't even look at Duke Wei. He flicked his sleeves and strode outside, leaving the waterside pavilion with great determination.

Today, he has completely lost his face. If that person had not been his biological cousin, he would have stabbed her to death with a sword in the chest, and he would still be able to leave her talking nonsense here.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After walking out of the Wei Mansion, he rode towards the palace.

Today's shame will only last a long time. Everyone present must be dealt with by him!

The prince who was standing in the room waiting to deliver the order couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this.

One of the two people who were given the marriage is about to hit the wall, and the other has already left. What's the point of him staying here?

He thought that by announcing the decree in this way, he could not only please the imperial concubine, but also win the favor of the Wei family, so he would naturally have someone to rely on in the palace.

I didn't expect to encounter such a scandal. Forget it, it's better to leave quickly to avoid this disaster.

"The Duke has a lot of things going on in his house today, so I'd better take this imperial edict back home first. Later, you can personally explain it to Your Majesty and His Majesty."

After saying that, he led the palace people away quickly, as if his tail was on fire, running faster than anyone else.

"Eunuch Wang..."

The situation was over. Seeing that today's order could not be continued, Duke Wei Guo looked at Liang Pan's back coldly for a while, then turned to Wei Lanxuan and said, "You choked too much water today and you are confused. First of all, Go down and get treatment. Grandpa can take care of other things."

The tone was no longer as warm as usual, and the cold made the person feel more uncomfortable than walking barefoot on the snow.

Wei Lanxuan was well aware of her grandfather's temper. If she really left now, she would be forced into a sedan chair and taken to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. As for Young Master Liang Pan and Liang, he would probably die in an accident.

She kept doing nothing, and her former noble lady's dignity was gone. She pushed away the servants who were holding her tightly, knelt down directly in front of Duke Wei, and tugged on the corner of his clothes, crying.

"If what happened today is spread, how can my granddaughter still have the dignity to survive in this world? Please ask your grandfather to make the decision for your granddaughter and give her a way to survive."

Xiao Tingyi glanced at her, but he was a smart person. If he said such words at this time, he would not be able to prevent Duke Wei from coming to power and force him to settle the marriage. If not, Duke Wei would have to bear the honor of his whole life when he gets old. The reputation of driving his granddaughter to death is not a good deal for him.

"Lan'er, do you know what you are talking about?"

When Duke Wei saw his beloved granddaughter crying so sadly, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but the intention of her words made the discomfort disappear.

Wei Lanxuan didn't know it, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so she could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Granddaughter...granddaughter is in love with Mr. Liang. In the past, she was burdened by her parents' fate and did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. Today, she is asking grandfather to fulfill her wish!"

Liang Pan was not a fool. At this point, the dog was in a back alley. There might be a way out if he gave it a try, so he knelt down next to Wei Lanxuan and said in the same firm tone.

"I have indeed been fond of Miss Wei for a long time, and I beg the Duke to grant her permission."

Duke Wei was so angry at them that his eyes turned black, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he fell into an armchair.
