Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Xu Qingcheng had never wanted to kill someone so much. He stepped forward slowly, stared at Huaiyang Hou coldly and said with contempt: "I, Xu Qingcheng, swear to heaven that I will never marry Gu Huiran in my lifetime. Today, I ask you to be a witness for me."

Gu Huiran sneered: "You don't want to marry me? Do you want to be exiled?"

The eldest princess and Prime Minister Xu looked at their youngest son with heavy expressions and worry.

Mu Yao's eyes were filled with gloom, and a dangerous light was leaking out. If Brother Xu was hurt in any way, she would make Gu Huiran pay it back a thousand times.

At this moment, she deeply felt the tragedy of Dayun Erlang. The law was cold and unfair. Brother Xu treated her with great kindness. No matter what happened, he would do it for her without asking. Today, Brother Xu was tricked by the villain because of the opening of the restaurant. She seemed to have been causing trouble for her brother all the time, and her heart was so bitter that she could hardly breathe.

Wang Yanzhi reminded him, "Mr. Xu San, according to the Dayun law, if an unmarried man and a lady have performed the Zhougong ceremony, as long as the lady agrees, he should prepare three matchmakers and six betrothals as soon as possible and go to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. If you violate the law, you will be exiled three thousand miles away. The law is ruthless, Mr. Xu San should think twice."

Xu Qingcheng's eyes were bloodshot, like a ghost from the underworld. He laughed in anger: "I didn't have sex with Gu Huiran, I am still innocent. Even if I die, I, Xu Qingcheng, will never touch such a lowly woman, let alone marry her."

Seeing Xu Qingcheng belittling her like that, Gu Huiran's face became even more ferocious. The more he didn't want to marry her, the more she wanted to marry him. She, Gu Huiran, wanted to pluck this cold and arrogant flower from the high mountain and rub it against her every day. She wanted to let everyone see how she, Gu Huiran, married into the Xu family in such a grand manner.

"So many people saw us getting entangled together, can you deny it with just a few words? I would like to ask Lord Wang, according to the law, can Xu Qingcheng not marry me?"

When everyone heard Xu Qingcheng say that he was still innocent, they all looked at him in disbelief. Mu Yao excitedly pulled Xu Qingcheng's arm, and her heart, which had fallen into the abyss, seemed to beat again.

The Princess, Prime Minister Xu and the others were also shocked. When they entered the room, they clearly saw... saw...

Wang Yanzhi quickly regained his composure and asked coldly, "Are you willing to test it?"

These words exploded in the crowd like a bolt from the blue. The princess was so angry that she felt dizzy. Xu Yuanming held her tightly and supported her to the side. After Doctor Wen gave her a Qi-strengthening pill, she finally felt better.

Ye Qinghan looked at Wang Yanzhi angrily: "Master Wang, do you know the weight of this sentence?"

In Yunqi, no matter which country, if a boy is examined in public, it is an extremely humiliating thing. This will be a stain that will accompany Xu Qingcheng for the rest of his life.

Wang Yanzhi's deep eyes were unusually cold, and his thin lips pursed again and again. His skin was cold and pale, and his dark black robe with cloud patterns made him look even more distant, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

Xu Qingcheng's face was pale, and his body and mind couldn't help but tremble. Mu Yao held his hand tightly, trying to dispel all his anxiety. She hated this damn law, and hated herself even more for not taking the time to study it carefully. Now she could only worry about it.

Prime Minister Xu's eyes were filled with pain, and he questioned Wang Yanzhi in a stern voice: "Sir Wang, Gu Huiran and several maids set up a scheme to frame my son. There are witnesses and evidence. Are you just going to let it happen? The eldest princess is the eldest princess of the Great Yun, and she has royal blood. Gu Huiran is just a relative, you have to think it through. Besides, she has an imperial marriage contract with the Zhao family. If she is forced to marry into my Xu family, isn't this contempt for the imperial power and trampling on the imperial majesty?"

Huaiyang Hou raised his voice and said, "The emperor only drafted the marriage contract and did not officially issue the decree. Our Huaiyang Hou Mansion has never exchanged engagement letters with the Zhao family. Huiran and Zhao Huaian had a conflict before, which led to physical contact. Everyone who ate at Zuiweilou that day can testify to what happened. But today she and Xu Qingcheng were in disarray. What should we say? Besides, even if Huiran really had an engagement with the Zhao family, it would not affect her marriage into the Xu family. It's just a matter of who will be the legal husband."

Everyone was shocked by the shamelessness of Huaiyang Hou. They had served in the same court for so many years, how come they didn't realize that Huaiyang Hou was so insidious.

Xu Shida mocked, "No wonder your daughter has a bad character. It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Huaiyang Hou, you are so secretive on weekdays."

Gu Kanzhi felt like there was a knife hanging in his heart, cutting his beloved flesh and blood. The Huaiyang Marquisate was torn apart today. Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to risk his life. His daughter's marriage is the most important thing. Over the years, this child has been almost crazy in order to marry Xu Qingcheng. But he never dreamed that Gu Huiran would do such a shameful thing that is against public morals. I have only heard of men who would do anything to marry a noble lady, but I have never seen a noble lady rushing to marry her like this. Even noble ladies from small families in the countryside would not do such a thing.

Zhao Huaian was furious when he heard what Huaiyang Hou said. He tried his best to distance himself from Gu Huiran: "After what happened today, there is no way my Zhao family will marry Gu Huiran again." This old fox wanted to find two takers, but it was impossible. It happened that everyone was here to be a witness. I believe Huaiyang Hou would not shamelessly come back to attack him again. This is related to my lifelong event, brother Xu, brother Xu, don't blame me in your heart. He glanced at Xu Qingcheng with a guilty conscience, and saw that there was no ripple on his face, so he felt relieved.

Gu Kanzhi ignored Zhao Huaian's words. His daughter's goal was very clear, she wanted Xu Qingcheng. What kind of person was Zhao Huaian?

"Sir Wang, does the Dayun law stipulate that if a man is a royal relative and has physical contact with a noble lady, he can be ignored and lose his reputation in vain?" Gu Kanzhi asked.

Wang Yanzhi answered truthfully: "No."

A storm was brewing in Mu Yao's eyes, and the seeds of hatred were taking root and sprouting quickly. Hell was empty, and the devil was on earth. Her voice was as cold as ice, and she spoke word by word: "The law is all about reason. Brother Xu has been bullied like this, why is he still on Gu Huiran's side? The law is ruthless, but people are kind. The law must be based on moral bottom line. You opened an opening for Gu Huiran today. If there are noble ladies who fall in love with unmarried men in other families and follow suit in the future, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Sir Wang, you are also an unmarried man, right? If someone plots against you in the future, would you hate it? Would you be willing to invite her to marry you?"

Mu Yao's remarks were like a revelation, and the onlookers responded one after another. Even Ye Qinghan, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but look up at Mu Yao, and several noble ladies also looked at her with interest. Mu Yao instantly became the focus of everyone.

The princess understood and immediately added, "My Lord, Mu Xiaolang is right. The law is ruthless, but people are kind. If we let Gu Huiran succeed today, what will the people of Dayun have to do in the future to get married? Is it that the family background and appearance of noble ladies are not important, and they just rely on tricks to squeeze into the upper class? Who among you doesn't have one or two unmarried children in your family? Would you watch your children being used by others to endure humiliation? If you meet a vulgar, shameless and immoral person, would you be willing to put aside the three matchmakers and six betrothals and agree to accept him? If we follow Gu Huiran's wishes today, it will be a tragedy for Dayun!"

"Yes, yes, the princess is right!"

"Yes, we must not let Miss Gu marry Mr. Xu San, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us men in the future."

"That's right. What if some ugly bastard wants to harm me and force me to marry him? What should I do?"

"Doesn't that mean that my son doesn't even dare to go out?"

"Who is this young man? He speaks well."

"He is the new owner of Shuiyunjian. He invented so many new dishes. Isn't that amazing?"

"So he is Mr. Mu. Wow, I can't believe he is so young."

Everyone was discussing it fiercely. This time, the opinions of the men were unanimous in favor of Xu Qingcheng.

Ye Qinghan's eyes flickered, and he stood up and said, "I think Mr. Mu's words make sense. Lord Wang, please consider it carefully."

Xu Qingcheng had no official title, but she was a descendant of the royal family. The Dali Temple had the first right to judge crimes committed by royal relatives, but the final judgment still had to be presented to the emperor. Generally, the cases determined by the Dali Temple were basically upheld when they were presented to the emperor.

Seeing Wang Yanzhi's hesitation, Mu Yao felt hopeful.

The princess and Prime Minister Xu stared at Wang Yanzhi with worry. This man was arrogant and cold-blooded, and he could even send his own relatives to the guillotine. Most of his colleagues in the court kept a distance from him, and only Ye Qinghan could have some friendship with him.

Wang Yanzhi's eyes were calm, and he said solemnly without question: "The law is lenient. Unless the Ministry of Justice explicitly changes the law, any ambiguity in the regulations must be followed. If Mr. Xu is determined not to marry Miss Gu, he will be exiled to the northern border in three days."

Wang Yanzhi was not completely unsympathetic. Xu Qingcheng and Gu Huiran were naked in public. Even if Xu Qingcheng was strong-willed and kept her innocence, the naked entanglement was an established fact, and there was no loophole for taking an extreme approach. The Dali Temple represented the strictness of the Grand Chancellor. He would not be shaken by anyone, and even in front of the palace, the emperor had nothing to say.

He didn't understand why Xu Qingcheng insisted on resisting the law! There are plenty of ways to solve the problem after marriage, so why bother to get angry for a moment. Shangjing Hanmei Gongzi Binghu Yuchi has always been upright and noble, and he is also the prince's direct descendant. Seeing Xu Qingcheng's ending today, he felt sorry for her.

Mu Yao felt dizzy and the biting cold penetrated her heart. She held Xu Qingcheng tightly and said, "No, Brother Xu can't go to Northern Frontier! Is there no other way? Brother Xu, say something!"

Xu Qingcheng smiled sadly: "Ayao, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, okay?" He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. He would rather be exiled to the northern border than bow to the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion.

The princess almost fainted and said forcefully, "I won't allow it! If the prince dares to sentence my son to exile, he must first step over my dead body!"

Xu Yuanming's eyes were filled with cruelty, and he shouted, "Wang Yanzhi, are you going to make an enemy of us? Please think twice."

Huaiyang Marquis Gu Kanzhi saw that the situation was becoming more and more complicated. He was not the eldest son in the family, and he had to work hard to inherit the title of Marquis. Now the youngest daughter was disgraced, and became a mortal enemy with the eldest princess and Prime Minister Xu. The people standing next to Xu Qingcheng were all important officials of the court. The Zhao family and Imperial Noble Consort He had been thoroughly offended again. This matter would soon be heard by the emperor, and Gu Huiran's title of princess might not be kept. At present, the best policy is to sacrifice the car to save the general and end it as soon as possible. I hope that the emperor will not be too angry with Huaiyang Marquis Mansion for the sake of the prince and the queen.

He and his wife looked at each other, and they understood each other, so they wanted to give her a way out and settle the matter privately. As for Huiran, let her find a man from an ordinary family and live a good life.

Gu Huiran bit her lower lip hard. She didn't expect her parents to give in at this critical moment. Even if she risked her life today, she would drag Xu Qingcheng into the abyss with her. If Xu Qingcheng was exiled to the Northern Frontier, she would go to the Northern Frontier. There were many ways to make him surrender. He could only belong to her, Gu Huiran, in this life!

Gu Huiran looked crazy, and the Huaiyang Marquis and his wife were so scared that they retracted their outstretched hands.

"Mu, you are such a haunting fellow. I told you and Xu Qingcheng were having an affair, but no one believed me. You two would go to great lengths to protect each other. Xu Qingcheng chose to be exiled to the Northern Frontier, and you were so nervous, why don't you go with her?"

Everyone on the princess's side was furious, and Ye Qinghan stared at his little cousin who was growing crooked. He remembered that his cousin was cute when she was little, and she always stuck to him and said she wanted to marry him when she grew up. Once upon a time, Gu Huiran's eyes fell on Xu Qingcheng, and he was no longer in his sight.

"That's enough, stop being so insolent!" Ye Qinghan became more and more disappointed with Gu Huiran.

There were more and more people watching the fun around, and many people from Wuyi Street who came to watch the fun flocked into "Shuiyunjian". The situation was out of control.

The princess was furious and slapped Gu Huiran twice. This evil woman wanted to kill her son! The previous accounts had not been settled with her yet, and now a new account has been added! Dayun has a law that disabled sons and those with hidden diseases are not allowed to enter the officialdom. Gu Huiran destroyed her son's reputation and cut off his marriage. Now she wants to discredit Qingcheng and cut off his official career. She is so sinister and cruel that she has never heard of! Mu Yao is a great benefactor of her Xu family, but she is so vicious to slander the miracle doctor! The princess' eyes were filled with murderous intent. She wanted to do it last time. If it weren't for the queen and Qinghan, Gu Huiran would have died long ago! A mere Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, after all, is just an in-law. It's her fault that she is too kind on weekdays and indulges a few blind bitches to grow an extra head.
