Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

So angry!

But don’t get angry!

Mrs. Sang didn't expect that the rhythm of her conversation would be completely led by the other party. She was obviously just a young girl, why was it so difficult to grasp? !

The matter of her youngest son was the most important thing at the moment. She could only grit her teeth and say:

"...Indeed, I would like to ask Lord Li to help save Baohe. Although he likes to go out and play, he is definitely not a troublemaker. I don't know why he was taken away by King Liang this time!"

Mrs. Sand paused for a moment, realizing that she had spoken such a long speech without being interrupted, so she continued speaking with great relief:

"I wonder if there is some misunderstanding. I am just an ordinary woman who has no chance to meet Prince Liang, but Lord Li is powerful and our two families are relatives. That's why I wanted to come and bother Lord Li, hoping that he would rescue Baohe... He is still so young, and he must be scared if he leaves home..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Sang choked up a little, took out the small silk scarf she carried with her, pinched a corner of it, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It won't be of much use if you ask my father about this matter." Li Huoyue said, his emotions not affected by Mrs. Sang.

Mrs. Sang was shocked. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that he was going to reject her.

He stood up immediately and asked Li Huoyue loudly:

"Among the people I know, your father is the most powerful official. If I can't find him, who should I find? What should I do? What about my Baohe?!"

At the end, fearing that the intensity was not enough, he added another sentence:

"That's your future brother-in-law, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Li Huo glanced at the impatient Madam Sang and explained, "The Prince of Liang does not attend the court and does not participate in daily political affairs. He does not take my father, a third-rank official, seriously at all, but..."

Mrs. Sang's eyes lit up when she heard the turning point, and she looked at Li Huoyue expectantly.

Li Huoyue threw out a bait: "Third brother... my third brother is close to the King of Liang, so I think we can get in touch with him about this matter."

"Why don't you go and call your third brother over!" Mrs. Sang was overjoyed, feeling that her forbearance for so long was not in vain.

If Li Huoyue hadn't been here, she would have immediately ordered the maids in the Li Mansion to call for help.

Li Huoyue ignored Mrs. Sang's eagerness and stated his conditions calmly:

"My third brother likes to play and is not in the mansion. It will take some time to find him. Why not talk about my marriage with Sang Fuqing first?"

Madam Sang sighed and replied, "What's there to say? Aren't all arrangements in your house ready?"

"Yes, but at that time it was about Sang Fuqing and me. Now you still want Xu Jiao'er to marry in, right? Then we have to discuss this matter again."

After these rounds, Mrs. Sang also truly felt that Li Huoyue was not so easy to fool. She even subconsciously asked Li Huoyue:

"You...you, do you agree?"

"Do you agree that Xu Jiao'er will marry Sang Fuqing?" Li Huoyue didn't know where Madam Sang got the courage to dream. "Let her marry, and we in the Li Mansion will cancel the engagement and let them be together."

"Ah! You girl! You know nothing!" Mrs. Sang, whose beautiful vision was shattered, could not help but said to Li Huoyue, "You are just a young girl waiting to get married. You have the final say? Oh, you want to cancel the engagement?"

"If I don't have the final say, then who has the final say?"

Mrs. Sang snorted. After all, she was just a little girl who did things without considering the consequences. How could she settle such a big matter as marriage with just a word?

Putting on the airs of an elder, Mrs. Sang said:

"If you want to cancel the engagement, go ask your parents if they agree. My Qing'er has such good conditions! Even the only female champion in the Southern Kingdom admires him. When your sister Jiao'er is given an official position, we will live a good life together!"

"You are still young, you don't understand the pros and cons. You can't just quit if you want to. If you don't believe me, go ask your parents! See if they agree or not!"

Li Huoyue was not afraid of asking the parents for help, so he immediately asked someone to go and call Li Lian over.

Mrs. Sang didn't expect that she was just putting on airs and teaching Li Huoyue a lesson, but Li Huoyue listened to her and directly asked Li Lian to come out to solve the problem.

She gave Li Huoyue a look that said "this child is teachable".

This time, Li Lian hurried over and shouted as he entered the Cloud Hall:

"What's the matter? The portrait of your mother is not finished yet! Don't call me here and there for that old woman's matter. Be careful when your mother comes back... Oh, Mrs. Sang, you haven't left yet..."

Mrs. Sang snorted, turned her body, and sulked at Li Lian who had just arrived with her back to her.

Who are you calling an old woman?

"Father." Li Huoyue called Li Lian and asked in front of Madam Sang, "I want to cancel the engagement. What do you think?"

Li Huoyue asked what you thought, she didn't ask whether you agreed or not.

In Li Huoyue's opinion, as long as one can bear the consequences of a matter and it does not involve others, one can make the decision by oneself without anyone expressing disagreement.

"You called me here just for this?!" Li Lian looked at Li Huoyue angrily, "Just make your own decision. What can I say? Does my opinion matter now? Do you know that my paint will be wasted if it is not sealed after a certain period of time?"

Mrs. Sang turned around with her eyes wide open, looking at Li Lian in disbelief, her eyes seemed to be asking: Excuse me, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by "just for this matter"? !

"Okay, go back and continue."

Li Huoyue knew this was the answer, but she was afraid that Mrs. Sang would not believe it, so she called Li Lian to come and demonstrate it in person.

Li Lian left in a hurry again.

From Mrs. Sang’s perspective, she only saw:

Li Lian is here.

Li Lian left.

He did not have the airs of a third-rank official, nor did he show the severity and oppression that a father should have towards his daughter.

This doesn't make sense.

But it just happened magically.

"Mrs. Sang, can I say now that I want to cancel the engagement?"

Mrs. Sang came to her senses and looked at the little girl, only to find that she was not buying anything she had said before.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mrs. Sang actually made a choice: "Then...if I don't let Xu Jiao'er in, can you help save Baohe?"

Wow, I really underestimated Mrs. Sang.

"Xu Zhuangyuan and Sang Fuqing are in love with each other. There is really no need for me to do the dirty thing of breaking up their marriage. Otherwise, I will provoke Xu Zhuangyuan to write sour poems to scold me every day." Li Huoyue refused.

"no, I can not."

Still not giving up?

"No? How can you guarantee that she won't? If you don't let her in, she will probably hate me the most, and you the second most. As you said, if Xu Zhuangyuan becomes an official, I will have two third-rank officials to protect me in my family. What do you think she will do to you? Ah? Madam Sang."
