The walls of the second floor are actually made of brick and stone frames with wooden planks as partitions. Although there are a few glutinous rice bricks in the middle, with Li Shiyue's hearing ability, if she listens carefully, she can really hear the conversation in the private room next door.

In addition, Yan Xuefei's voice was a little loud;
Not to mention, the windows in the room where King Zhenbei and the others stayed were still open. Even if Li Shiyue didn't want to listen, she couldn't help but have good ears.

At this time, the sound of gong downstairs rang again. It turned out that the first half of "The Story of Zhen Li" had ended, and the waiter who was asking for rewards was already walking back and forth between the tables downstairs with a tray.

This time, Li's mother and her family had gained experience and had prepared the money long ago.

It was the first time for Li Shiliang, Zhao Min, Ma Zi and Zhao Yan to come to the big restaurant in the city to have a banquet and watch a play. When they looked at the silver prepared by Li's mother, they realized that there was such a thing as reward.

"This city is different. Even rewards are paid with silver!"

Zhao Min felt a little distressed about the money that Li's mother took out. Although she didn't have to pay for it, she still felt a little uncomfortable as she was used to being frugal.

However, Zhao Min raised her hand and touched the silver hairpin in her hair. She secretly encouraged herself in her heart, thinking that she must not lose face for Li Shiliang in public. She did not look at the silver prepared by Li's mother on the table, but instead looked at the platform downstairs and started talking.

"This Zhenniang sent the scholar to take the imperial examination, while she herself had to reel silk and weave brocade at home, and also had to take care of her frail mother and young child. She is truly a hardworking and kind-hearted woman."

"Sister-in-law Min, what's so good about this?

The money that the scholar needs for the imperial examination is earned by Zhenniang bit by bit from reeling silk. If the scholar passes the exam, it will be fine, but if he fails, what will Zhenniang do? "

After listening to what Zhao Min and Li Xiatian said, Li's mother and the others also joined in the discussion with interest.

Li Shiyue, on the other hand, pretended to be looking at the platform downstairs, but in fact, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversations next door.

Next door, in the private room called Qingsong, Yan Xuefei, who had cursed the King of Zhenbei and asked if he was crazy, stood up directly. With a cold face and anger in her eyes, she angrily asked the King of Zhenbei: "Why did you arrange a marriage for Jiu Niang without asking me?
We agreed at the beginning that if you want to recognize Jiu Niang again, you have to agree that she will take my surname Yan!
Jiu Niang’s future marriage matters also need to be consulted with me, and only after Jiu Niang and I agree can it be agreed upon.

But now, how can you just agree to her marriage without considering Jiu Niang's wishes!
She is your daughter too!
I don't ask you to be nice to her, I just hope you can have some pity on her!
I don't agree with this marriage!
If you want to ruin my daughter's life for your own power!
Then, Liu Xing, let's see whether you, the King of Zhenbei, are more capable or my Yan Xuefei's sword is faster!"

As soon as Yan Xuefei finished speaking, she drew out the long sword that was sticking on the ground beside her, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at King Zhenbei!
"Father!"

The first person to react was Liu Tan, who was closest to King Zhenbei. He stood up and drew his sword to chop at Yan Xuefei's sword. At the same time, Li Mingfeng's sword also went towards Liu Tan's sword!

The clanging sound of weapons colliding was really loud. Li Shiyue frowned. She only heard a few sporadic questions from Yan Xuefei. Because the play downstairs had a turn, the music was loud and the voices were noisy, which prevented her from hearing the conversations next door.

The turning point of the play on stage is that the scholar passed the exam, but he also abandoned Zhenli and her daughter, stayed in the capital, and married the daughter of a high-ranking official, hoping to climb up the social ladder by using his father-in-law's power.

Therefore, Li Shiyue only heard Yan Xuefei's words that she did not agree with the marriage arranged by King Zhenbei for Yan Jiuniang. She didn't know why there was a noise of weapons colliding.

At this moment, she was really anxious. Not only did she want to know what happened in the private room next door, but she also wanted to know what Zhenniang would do after being abandoned by the scholar. In the private room, the King of Zhenbei laughed, and laughed loudly.

After taking a sip of tea slowly, King Zhenbei said to Yan Xuefei, whose eyes were already red with anger: "Your temper is still the same as before."

King Zhenbei raised his hand and stretched out a finger to push the tip of the sword pointing at him aside, then turned his head and nodded to Liu Tan.

Liu Tan watched Yan Xuefei put away her sword, and then he put away his knife. Li Mingfeng also put away his sword. At Liu Tan's signal, the guards at the four corners of the room, including Ma San and Zhao Da, also put away their knives and put them back into the scabbards.

King Zhenbei saw that Yan Xuefei had calmed down a little, and then he said to her: "Listen to the play off the stage. A woman's choice of husband is an important event in her life. Jiu Niang is my daughter, how could I harm her?

She has the mentality of a child. How old are you? Can't you see the situation clearly?"

Yan Xuefei said nothing and remained silent.

The King of Zhenbei did not need Yan Xuefei to respond at this time. He continued, "I chose for Jiu Niang the second son of a family with many generations of meritorious service. In this way, she does not have to bear the responsibilities of the eldest son, nor does she have to work hard as a clan wife.
As a descendant of the direct branch and lineage, he can get a lot of family property.

When she gets married in the future, I will definitely give her a lot of dowry. She will have enough money to spend when she has children, and she will be able to live a peaceful and smooth life. Isn't that good?
"Could it be," Prince Zhenbei pointed outside the window, "that she is going to be like Zhenniang, who picked a scholar on her own and then was abandoned by him, and had to live a hard life with her daughter alone?

I picked good matches for Jiu Niang, but she didn't understand and ran away;
As a mother, you don't persuade her, but you have the nerve to ask me?"

The King of Zhenbei once again looked at Li Mingfeng with a mocking look, "You found such a worthless person, do you want Jiu Niang to be the same as you?"

Yan Xuefei was speechless. She knew that what King Zhenbei said made some sense, but she could only listen to half of what King Zhenbei said and throw away the other half. She had known this for a long time.

Therefore, Yan Xuefei did not completely believe what the King of Zhenbei said. She also remembered the news she got from Liu Tan, that the King of Zhenbei arranged a marriage for Yan Jiuniang with the Sun family in Guanlong. In fact, it was for the Sun family's iron mine in Yanshan.

However, Yan Xuefei thought about what Yan Jiuniang said to her last night, and raised her head firmly again. She looked at the King of Zhenbei and said word by word: "My Jiuniang has been smart since she was a child. She has been managing two ships by herself since she was twelve years old.

From the moment she showed her talent in this area, you have made her your purse string.

I wonder how much wealth and goods she has transported to Anton for you over the years?
Even if she is not your daughter, but just one of your subordinates, you should discuss her lifelong affairs with her in a nice manner because she works diligently for you!
Instead of ignoring her wishes and hastily arranging a marriage for her that you think is good!

In this regard, you are neither worthy of being her father nor her boss!"

Li Shiyue pricked up her ears and nodded vigorously after hearing Yan Xuefei's words. She felt that what Yan Xuefei said was absolutely right!
The King of Zhenbei is just as bad a father as her scumbag father. They are not worthy of being called "Dad"!
