Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 452 The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance 06

"What's swill? This is the pre-rain Longjing tea given by His Majesty the Emperor himself. It only has two taels!"

The old Duke was so angry that he grabbed a teacup full of water and threw it at Lu Liluo, spilling the tea all over him.

"I think you are a dog with no ivory in your mouth. I will beat you to death today, you bastard!"

Lu Liluo was startled and jumped up with a cry of "Ouch":

"Mother, just say what you want to say. A good woman uses her mouth, not her hands... Hey, hey, hey, don't come over here!"

"Stop right there, you little bitch!"

The mother and daughter chased each other around the hall for a long time. Only when the servants had seen enough of the excitement did Duke Lu stop, breathless.

"Speak, you little bitch!"

"You let a good husband run away like that. You're not young anymore, and all the girls of the right age in the capital have already been promised to someone. I wonder which good boy would be willing to marry you in the future!"

"Just make the decision, Your Majesty. I'll marry whoever Your Majesty says, and I won't touch them anyway!" This was how the original owner responded in the previous life.

In this life, Lu Liluo stiffened his neck and shouted:

"Looking for a wife, I want to find a wife!"

"What, seeking marriage? You damned girl, I think you're going to die... I'll beat you to death, you loser!"

. . .

An hour later.

A huge marriage announcement was posted publicly at the gate of the Duke's Mansion and on the busy streets of the capital:

"I, Lu Liluo, the future young marquis of the Duke of Jinyang, have two announcements to make today."

"First, my former fiancé Wei Shimu and I officially broke off our engagement yesterday. We will go our separate ways from now on."

"Second, I'm sincerely seeking six husbands. No restrictions on family background, no dowry required, and no distinction between young and old. Those interested can meet at the Buddhist hall of Danxi Temple in seven days. No one will be accepted after that!"

Yes, in this small world, Lu Liluo also has no intention of falling in love - wouldn't it be better to just look for a partner directly?

Blind marriage is not very reliable either.

The people in this small world had a different aesthetic than hers. While others found a weak man like Wei Shimu beautiful, she found it annoying. Rather than letting the Duke choose a bunch of husbands the original owner disliked, as he had in his previous life.

It would be better for her to see it in person. At least the appearance should be acceptable.

Otherwise, she would find the process of giving birth very difficult.

As for the "marriage proposal" method, it's too outrageous - what a coincidence, the original owner was always unreliable, wasn't he?!

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the capital.

Keywords like "Duke's Mansion Breaks Off Engagement" and "Young Marquis Lu Openly Seeks Marriage" instantly became trending searches in Beijing, reaching explosive levels. Reactions were mixed across the capital.

The residence of the Dali Temple Minister.

"Snapped!"

With a loud slap, Wei Shimu's head was turned away. He covered his face in disbelief, tears streaming down his eyes.

"Mother, you, you actually hit me?"

Wei Shimu's voice was choked with sobs. He had always been a favored child, but this was the first time he had been beaten.

"It's still too light to hit you!"

"Tell me! Who gave you such courage? You dared to make such a big decision on your own, breaking off the engagement, and even concealed it after doing it!"

Lord Wei shouted angrily.

The news of his son's broken engagement had just reached his ears, and he heard it from his subordinates. How could she not be angry? So even though Wei Shimu had explained the matter of the Second Princess immediately, Lord Wei was still furious.

What infuriated her most wasn't the fact that Wei Shimu was having an affair with the Second Princess, but the fact that he dared to make decisions on his own. This made her feel that this son, who had seemed so good and well-behaved before, had actually been beyond his control.

In this case, she would have to think carefully about his marriage.

Wei Shimu covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face. His frail body trembled slightly, and he looked so pitiful.

But he was cursing in his heart.

Lu Liluo, this damn woman, doesn't she have any face?

Being broken off was such a shame, yet she actually announced it to the world. And she even went so far as to publicly advertise for marriage, implying that any man she found would be better than him. How could this embarrass her ex-fiancé, who came from a wealthy family, feel?

The most important thing is that Lu Liluo acted too quickly, and the Second Princess has not yet come to propose marriage.

This put his plan into a completely passive position.

He had originally planned to wait for the Second Princess to propose marriage, so that his mother would think that it was the Second Princess who first showed interest in him. Then he would tell her that he had broken off the engagement with Lu Liluo.

At that time, his mother will only praise him for his thoughtfulness.

Who knew Lu Liluo would act so unpredictably? He had just agreed to break off the engagement yesterday, and now he did this to him.

"Mother, calm down,"

Wei Shimu saw the vicious look in Lord Wei's eyes and finally felt scared. He quickly knelt down and crawled a few steps to hug Lord Wei's legs.

"It's all my son's fault."

"But my son and the Second Princess are in love with each other. He will definitely marry into the Second Princess's residence in the future. Breaking off the engagement with the Duke's Mansion is only a matter of time."

Wei Shimu argued:

"Furthermore, considering the Duke's Mansion's situation, I feel that breaking off the engagement is the best way to preserve the Wei family..."

"Nonsense!"

Lord Wei was so angry that he raised his hand and gave Wei Shimu another loud slap:

"How can a man like you from the backyard speculate on matters of family and country?"

"Wife, wife, Shi Mu is your most beloved son, how could you hit him in the face..."

Wei Shimu's biological father, Zhengjun Xiao Pingyi quickly squatted down and hugged Wei Shimu, gently stroking his swollen face.

There can't be any scars on such a pretty face. If there are scars, the Second Princess, who is extremely lustful, will probably not like it.

Xiao Pingyi advised:

"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of beating my son? It's better to think of a way to prevent this incident from affecting Shi Mu's entry into the Second Princess's residence."

"It's all your fault. How do you usually teach your son? It's true that loving fathers often spoil their children!"

Lord Wei naturally knows the truth.

But he had no place to vent his anger, so he went straight to Xiao Pingyi.

Jiang Shijun, who was standing by, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled secretly.

What I hate the most is Xiao Pingyi's arrogant and pretentious attitude. Even his son behaves in the same way, as if they, the servants of the king and their children, are all dirty things.

It's great now.

Wei Shimu, the legitimate son, broke off the engagement secretly and lost his virginity to the second princess before the marriage. Even if he entered the second princess's palace in the future, he would at most be a concubine.

How is her status any different from those of the servants of the emperor? She's just a concubine!

This was enough to make him laugh at himself - to see how Xiao Pingyi would continue to act so condescending in front of these servants.

Besides, even if Wei Shimu and the second princess were in love with each other, would it be so easy for a man who had broken off his engagement to enter the royal family?

Lord Wei thought so too.

News in the capital spread so quickly. Even his family knew about Shi Mu's broken engagement, so the Second Princess should have known about it by now. If it was true, as Wei Shi Mu said, that the Second Princess had feelings for him, then she should have come and proposed marriage as soon as possible.

This is the only way to restore Wei Shimu's reputation to the greatest extent.

By then, Lu Liluo would be the only one to be embarrassed, but the current situation is that the second princess has not come yet.

So the whole family gathered in this flower hall, not so much to judge Wei Shimu, but rather to wait for the second princess to come and propose marriage.
