Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

And Sang Fuqing is not a person who can be taken lightly either.

But facing Mrs. Sang, there is no point in blaming Sang Fuqing.

She won't listen.

Seeing that Madam Sang's face was a little pale, Li Huoyue said again: "Why don't we part ways amicably? I will have a reputation of helping others, and they will have a good story of a match made in heaven."

Mrs. Sang was still reluctant. After all, this was far from what she had expected. Why couldn't she have both?

Anyway, the wedding date is coming soon.

"If you want to delay, it's not impossible." Li Huoyue told Mrs. Sang's little thoughts, "It's just some wedding items. My Li family can still afford the loss."

There is no question of losing money at all. The shops are my own and I don’t have to pay anything. I can stop operating at any time.

It’s just that some soft expenses cannot be recovered.

"We, the younger generation, will definitely agree with this approach." Li Huoyue continued, "Sang Fuqing came here yesterday to remind me of my own limitations. Xu Zhuangyuan said in the hall that he wanted to be together for the rest of his life, so I naturally don't want to be the bad guy.

Of course, Madam Sang is willing to be the bad guy, and my Li Mansion will definitely help you. Within a day, the whole capital will know that you insisted on letting Sang Fuqing marry me and forcibly broke them up. It is also normal for me to move out of the Sang Mansion and live in the Li Mansion for the rest of my life out of pity for them."

Normal what is normal?!

Mrs. Sang did not expect Li Huoyue to be so tough. It seemed that he was really determined to cancel the engagement.

This was something Mrs. Sang had not prepared for, and breaking off the engagement was not part of her plan.

But it seemed that Li Huoyue really had the final say. She was shocked and even more frightened. She couldn't think of a solution for a while and could only say:

"This is a serious matter. It is a lifelong event after all. We can't just talk about it here. Even if we want to cancel the engagement, we have to notify the clan leaders of both parties to witness it and return the written agreement together."

Mrs. Sang didn't look fake, it seemed that breaking off an engagement did have such a complicated process.

Li Huoyue felt a little strange. Wasn't this marriage arranged by her mother using the prop card? Was it necessary to go through so much trouble?

"When we got engaged, we also invited the clan leader. Did we go through all these procedures?"

"Of course!" Madam Sang said proudly, "Although our Sang family is small, we know the etiquette. Our Qing'er is the first person in our village to pass the imperial examination! Of course the clan leader has to be here to witness it!"

wrong.

Li Huoyue suddenly remembered the marriage card he saw in the prop box last night.

Although she felt that the marriage card from last night was strange, it seemed to have been used. She thought it was used on Sang Fuqing, but her mother brought the prop card back.

But now, according to Mrs. Sang, the two families are going to follow the normal engagement process.

If you use a prop card, there is definitely no need to go through the normal process.

If it was a normal engagement, there would be no need to waste an item card on Sang Fuqing.

that……

Who was the prop card used on?

"Please invite all the clan leaders first. Five days is enough, right?" Li Huoyue temporarily suppressed his doubts and said to Madam Sang, "If the engagement is not cancelled after five days, then I will do what I want."

Before meeting Li Huoyue, Mrs. Sang probably didn't believe what Li Huoyue said, but after just a short communication, she already felt her back being slightly eroded by sweat.

She really wanted to leave first.

She didn't even dare to ask about the losses caused by the smashing of the Sang Mansion, for fear that she would bring up some nonsense while talking.

However, there was one thing she had to ask before she left:

"...Okay, I'll try my best... Well, about Baohe..."

"Please do your best?" Li Huoyue repeated, "Then I will try my best to find my third brother. I don't know if Mr. Sang can wait any longer."

"……OK!"

Mrs. Sang gritted her teeth, turned around and left without saying goodbye, not wanting to stay any longer.

Li Huoyue did not stay in the Cloud Hall for long and immediately went to check his mother's prop box.

The marriage prop card was still lying there, with the red mark covering the entire card - a horizontal line running through the Moswoop Ring.

Red means it has been used, white means it has not been used.

She picked up the card and examined it in her hands.

The front of the card has the official language of the South Country, "Marriage Card", written on it, and the name is written on the back.

The woman's name is Li Huoyue.

The man's name was not Sang Fuqing.

There is only one surname "Jiang".

The last name was deliberately crossed out.

ginger?

Li Huoyue filtered through the people who had some interactions with his mother, but this surname was so common that he didn't have any clues.

The man in the general's mansion is named Jiang.

The people in the Prime Minister's Office also have the surname Jiang.

There are also several relatives of my mother’s old friends whose surname is Jiang.

Li Huoyue was studying the card surface again. There was a familiar pattern at the bottom, with a total of three lines printed on it. He didn't understand what the aesthetic was.

She held the card up again, placed it in the center of her sight, and looked at it parallel to the ground, and found that the card surface was slightly curved.

Has it been broken?

Li Huoyue hesitated for a moment, then exerted a little strength with both hands.

Looking at the thin and crispy card, there was no effect at all!

She continued to slowly apply force, but there was still no change.

Even when she used all her strength, the card was only slightly bent, and it was impossible to notice it without looking carefully.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Huoyue took out a pair of scissors and started from the middle without blinking.

Sure enough, the marriage card was still intact.

Li Huoyue couldn't understand it.

This card must have been attempted to be destroyed by the mother.

Since my mother used the marriage card, why did she destroy it?

Why should she marry into the Sang family?

Li Huoyue put down the marriage card, and actually began to have some doubts about his decision.

Was it right for her to break off the engagement?

Does the mother have other considerations?

But her doubt about herself only lasted for a moment, and almost the next second, she still firmly believed in her own idea.

Even if it is wrong in the end, this is the only choice she will make now. She is unwilling to put herself in a difficult position. If there are problems in the future, that will be her future topic. There is no need to worry about it now.

After checking the prop cards, she went on to calculate the expenses in the mansion and the allowances for each courtyard.

Only halfway through, the second brother came in with a smile on his face, carrying a small bamboo basket, which he was holding in his hands.

Li Huoyue paused while pressing the calculator, feeling something was wrong.

The second brother smiled gently and his voice was also very gentle:

"Huo Huo, what are you busy with?"

Li Huoyue looked up at the second brother and sighed, "I really don't have time."

There were a lot of accounts waiting to be dealt with. There was still no clue about what my father had asked me to do. There was no progress on my mother's whereabouts. The matter of breaking off the engagement had just been pushed forward. The mess left by the third brother had not been cleaned up yet...

"It won't take up too much of your time." The second brother said, and he handed over the small bamboo basket, "Try it, this is what Mr. Jiang asked me to bring to you for tasting."
