Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 453 The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance 07

At this moment, a servant rushed in, panting and saying:

"Here I come, here I come~"

Lord Wei stood up from his chair with a jerk:

"Is the Second Princess here to propose marriage? Come in quickly!"

Wei Shimu also hurriedly tidied up his hair and wrinkled clothes. But the servant gasped and said:

"No, not the Second Princess..."

"what?"

Lord Wei froze in his tracks as he tried to stand up, then angrily said, "If it's not the Second Princess, why are you shouting so loudly..."

"Because it's me, your ex-fiancée, who's here to collect the debt, my former mother-in-law!"

Following a nonchalant voice, Lu Liluo's swaggering figure appeared outside the flower hall.

Seeing the scene in the hall, her voice paused:

"Hey~ How come everyone is gathered here? They're all waiting for me to come. As expected, we're engaged. We're so in tune with each other, hahahaha~"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Lord Wei said angrily:

"Shi Mu has already returned the engagement token to you. The Wei family doesn't owe you anything now!"

Earlier, Lord Wei, like Zheng Jun Xiao Pingyi, had actually supported this marriage with the Duke's Mansion. Furthermore, in terms of family background, the Wei family was marrying up.

However, as the emperor became increasingly indifferent to the Duke's Mansion in recent years, she had other plans in mind.

As for Lu Liluo, the future daughter-in-law, she seemed quite clever and intelligent when she was young, but she became less and less reliable as she grew older. So even before the breakup, when Lu Liluo often came to the Wei family to give gifts, she always had a reserved attitude and rarely showed any favor.

Now that the cancellation of the engagement is a foregone conclusion, the words spoken become even more impolite.

"That's why I came here in person today to return the marriage certificate..."

Lu Liluo raised the letter of withdrawal of engagement in his hand and said to Wei Shimu with a smile:

"Why, Master Wei doesn't want this anymore?"

"You should know that without this letter of annulment, even if you get married in the future, you will still be mine! Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the authorities and have you arrested and drowned in a pond?!"

"you!"

Wei Shimu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Yesterday, he was so focused on returning the jade seal that he actually forgot about the most important letter of withdrawal of engagement.

Actually, it’s not accurate to say that I forgot.

Because in Wei Shimu's heart, he always believed that Lu Liluo was reluctant to let him go. So, when Lu Liluo didn't give him the letter of annulment yesterday, he didn't insist on it.

That was the case in my previous life. I didn’t ask for the letter of withdrawal, and I didn’t give it to anyone.

Therefore, in the original owner's somewhat stubborn personality, she always felt that Wei Shimu should be her legitimate husband, and thus she fell deeper and deeper into the trap.

At this moment, Wei Shimu was thinking: It's all my fault for being soft-hearted. I thought asking this playboy to leave the marriage certificate was just a thought. Who would have thought that this man didn't understand what love was, and today he actually came to humiliate me with the marriage certificate!

"Good good,"

Lord Wei also felt a little embarrassed, and said with all his might:

"Since the letter of annulment has been delivered, the Wei family will not keep the young marquis any longer. Please do as you please, young marquis!"

This means seeing the guest off.

It was true that the family wanted to cancel the marriage, but it was still very embarrassing to have someone send the letter of cancellation to the door. Lord Wei glared at Wei Shimu again, meaning:

"What an idiot! He can't even handle such a small matter!"

Wei Shimu's eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't be anxious, Lord Wei,"

Lu Liluo found a comfortable chair and sat down, leaning back on it and crossing his legs high.

"Your eldest son, raised in the Wei family, cheated on me and lost his virginity before the wedding, bringing a huge cuckold upon this Lord. How can you get a letter of annulment so easily?"

"What, you, you lost your virginity?"

Lord Wei turned to Wei Shimu suddenly, his fierce eyes looking as if he wanted to eat someone: "Is what the young marquis said true?"

"Yes, yes, mother..."

Wei Shimu was startled.

He had never seen his mother so fierce before, but this kind of thing was obvious after verification, so he didn't dare to lie.

"you you you you!"

Lord Wei was so angry that his hands began to tremble. He simply raised his hands and slapped Xiao Ping one by one: "These are all good sons you have raised! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

Xiao Ping covered his face, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He had already beaten his son before, so why did he have to beat him again? He only found out about it afterward. If he had known earlier, he would definitely not have let his son take such a big risk.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. Even if he said he didn't know, others would still believe him. So he could only suppress his grievance and say:

"Sir, Shi Mu is young and ignorant, and he and the Second Princess are in love. Please do not pursue this matter further."

Then he turned to Lu Liluo and advised earnestly:

"Ah Luo, your marriage to Shi Mu was secretly arranged by your father and I. Actually, it's all my fault. I didn't educate my son well."

"Now that you and Amu are no longer destined to be together, it's better to part ways amicably. What do you want in exchange for the marriage certificate?"

As he spoke, he looked around at the servants and guards.

I was thinking to myself that if all else fails, I'll just use force and snatch the letter of divorce first.

It has to be said that Wei Shimu's ambition was partly inherited from Xiao Pingyi. Xiao Pingyi was not a content man when he was young.

Lu Liluo's spiritual sense was so strong that he saw through his thoughts at a glance. He immediately reached out and slammed his hand on the table:

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Since Uncle Xiao has spoken, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I've already lost so much face, and without three or five hundred thousand taels of silver, don't even think about taking this divorce letter from me!"

She slapped the ironwood table so hard that a large dent occurred. Particles of ironwood dust fell to the ground as she spoke.

Everyone in the Wei family was so shocked that they stood up straight involuntarily - Oh my goodness, this dude Lu Liluo, turned out to be born with supernatural powers like the great ancestor back then?

Yes.

After all, Jinyang Prefecture and Emperor Gaozu are of the same lineage, and this point has been overlooked in the past. It seems that forcibly snatching the marriage certificate may not be feasible.

They were calculating and confused, but Lu Liluo seemed unaware of it.

As she spoke, she pointed at Wei Shimu, her legs trembling proudly:

"Also, quickly return all the valuables I gave you and your Wei family."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for setting fire to your Wei family's house tonight. Or tomorrow I'll hire someone to beat drums and gongs to tell the story of your premarital infidelity in the streets. None of us will have a good life..."

"you you you you you!"

Lord Wei was so angry that his eyes turned black and he almost fainted. But there was no point in getting angry. Lu Liluo had clearly come with ill intentions and was shameless.

But she had to save face. After all, it concerned the second princess, and there was no turning back once the arrow was shot.

Finally, after bargaining between the two parties, the Wei family returned all the gifts that the original owner had given them, and deducted more than 30,000 taels of silver for those that could not be returned.

Together with the apology from the Wei Mansion, Lu Liluo finally took away a total of 10 taels of silver notes.

Then he threw down a letter of cancellation of engagement and walked away with his men in a swagger.
