Chapter 114 Xiao Changchuan Breaks Off the Engagement
Xiao Changchuan raised his head and said, "Since the adults already know, there is no need for me to say more."
"Very good! Since you have made up your mind, hand in all your things, write a letter of resignation and give it to the Minister, then you can leave! As for your marriage with Han Zhiyu, let's call it a day." After saying this, Minister Han lowered his head and continued to work on the things at hand.
Xiao Changchuan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He left the hall, wrote a letter of resignation, found the minister, and handed over all his belongings, including the official seal, appointment certificate, talisman, waist badge, official uniform, official hat and other items.
The assistant minister looked at him with a complicated expression, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed the rules.
Xiao Changchuan returned to the marquis's mansion in casual clothes and saw that the matchmaker had arrived. He returned all the betrothal gifts and engagement tokens that the Xiao family had given to Han Zhiyu.
Lan didn't know what happened, but she was annoyed when she saw the matchmaker's sarcastic words.
She was not satisfied with this marriage in the first place, and when she saw that the Han family took the initiative to cancel the engagement, she simply asked someone to bring the marriage certificate to the matchmaker.
The matchmaker destroyed the marriage certificates of the two families in front of her, and took out a marriage certificate written by herself to cancel the engagement, and asked Lan to put her fingerprints on it. The Xiao and Han families each held a copy.
After completing the arrangements for cancelling the engagement, the matchmaker turned around and left. She met Xiao Changchuan at the door, snorted coldly, and left while shaking her handkerchief and twisting her waist.
"Chuan'er, why are you back now?" Seeing him coming back at this time, Lan thought he also knew that the Han family wanted to cancel the engagement, so she advised him:
"It doesn't matter if you cancel this marriage. With your current status and position, you can definitely find a better marriage."
"Mom, I have resigned." Xiao Changchuan was in a bad mood. After saying this, he turned and left, wanting to go to Mei Niang's yard to see his son.
"What? Resign!" Lan's voice rose, and she couldn't believe her ears. She quickly chased after him and asked, "Chuan'er, what's going on? Why did you resign for no reason? He was a fourth-rank official!"
At this point, Lan suddenly understood why the Han family came to cancel the engagement, "Chuan'er, was it the Han family who forced you to do this? Your official position was conferred by His Majesty himself, and that Han family has no right to revoke your official position at all!"
"No one forced me. I resigned on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with anyone else." After saying this, Xiao Changchuan strode away.
Lan stood there in a daze, wondering why her son would give up his good official position? What would happen to the huge Marquisate in the future?
But she knew that her son was a man of his own ideas and didn't like people interfering too much in his affairs, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only worry in secret.
In the afternoon, Xiao Changlin returned from the academy with a bruised face and nose. As soon as he came back, he went to Xiao Changchuan to cry.
"Brother, have you offended the Han family? Han Zhiyu's brother Han Chengan brought more than a dozen people to beat me up and called you a scum. They threatened me with a knife and told me not to stay in the academy, otherwise they would beat me to a pulp."
"Did Han Chengan and his men threaten you?" Xiao Changchuan's face suddenly turned red with anger.
Take the matter of him proposing to cancel the engagement with Minister Han. He seemed so calm. It turned out that he was looking for an opportunity to take revenge on their Xiao family.
In the previous life, Shangshu Han's entire family was implicated because of his involvement in Prince Rui's fight for the throne. It was he who went to Prince An for help and used Chu Feiyan's money and treasures to bribe those officials, thus saving the Han family.
Although Shangshu Han's life was saved, the emperor ordered him to be dismissed from office and his property to be confiscated, and the court would never employ him again.
When the Han family was in the most difficult times, it was he who spent a lot of money to train Han Chengan, and it was he who recommended him to Prince An and became Prince An's confidant.
Later, after Prince An ascended the throne, the Han family was able to return to the court.
In this life, because he had the memory of his previous life, he made Han Shangshu leave Prince Rui and join Prince An's side in advance, thus the Han family was spared from imprisonment.
He felt very aggrieved. The Han family was doing well now, but they were retaliating against him?
If it weren't for him, Han Shangshu's family would have been executed like the King Rui's party, and how could he have sat safely in the top chair of the Ministry of War!
"It's okay. You rest at home for two days. I'll go find Prince An first." After Xiao Changchuan comforted Xiao Changlin, he went to find Prince An.
But when he arrived at Prince An's Mansion, he was stopped by the gatekeeper, "Mr. Xiao, our prince has ordered that you don't have to come to him if you have nothing to do in the future."
Xiao Changchuan frowned. What did Prince An mean by that? Why did he come here if he had nothing to do?
Seeing that he was standing there and not leaving, the doorman said again: "Your Highness has another message for you. Don't be so ungrateful."
"Did the prince say this?" He didn't understand what Prince An meant.
He had never regretted the Han family father and daughter in his past and present lives. Could he be talking about Chu Feiyan?
He did do something wrong to Chu Feiyan, but what did she have to do with it?
Since Prince An refused to see him, Xiao Changchuan had to return to the Marquis' Mansion first.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Xiao Zhengde called him to the study.
"Chuan'er, you are so confused!" Xiao Zhengde sighed as soon as he saw him, "Prince An really didn't see you, did he?"
Xiao Changchuan lowered his head, feeling unwilling, "Father, I really don't know what I have done wrong. I have done my best for the Han family, but now you are adding insult to injury to our Xiao family."
"Chuan'er, if the dream you had is real, but you do things that are contrary to the dream, your luck will naturally leave you!" Xiao Zhengde shook his head.
This son is loyal and righteous, but he is not very smart. He lacks the ability to distinguish and judge the situation. That's why he was deceived by Han Zhiyu's sweet words and used by the Han family.
"Father, what do you mean?" Xiao Changchuan looked puzzled. "Did I really do something wrong?"
"You are totally wrong. In your previous life in your dream, our family lived smoothly because of Chu Feiyan. We were rich and powerful, so Prince An looked up to us and the Han family tried to curry favor with us.
In this life, we live in poverty, but the Han family is safe and sound because of you. Minister Han also builds a bridge with Prince An through you. To Prince An and the Han family, you are no longer important.
But you acted on impulse and resigned from your position and canceled the marriage. Isn't that a slap in the face of Prince An and the Han family?"
Xiao Changchuan pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that doing so would offend the Han family, but he didn't expect that Prince An also had a grudge against him.
"Chuan'er, Shangshu Han plays an important role in the court. If Prince An wants that position, he naturally has to win over Shangshu Han's power. Now that you have offended the Han family, how can Prince An see you?" Xiao Zhengde said helplessly.
"Father, many things have deviated from the track of that dream. Prince An may not be able to ascend to the throne in this life!
Don't forget that the reason why Prince An was able to ascend the throne was entirely because of our Xiao family. Because I had the military token of the Chu family army and Chu Feiyan's vast wealth, I helped Prince An suppress the prince and finally seize the throne." Xiao Changchuan said unconvinced.
