Chapter 68: I say something, do you dare to agree?
"I have objections..." These four words suddenly brought the joyous atmosphere in the main hall to a climax. Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui's faces turned gloomy. They were familiar with this voice, as it had also echoed in this main hall less than a month ago.
Uncle Li frowned. He had specially arranged two people to guard the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Wang Jingzhe coming in, he said in a deep voice: "Who is this troublemaker? Don't you know that the Cui and Li families are having a wedding? Someone, get him out of here!"
Someone from the Li family quickly came over to stop Wang Jingzhe, but he stopped calmly, looking past the people who stopped him, and his gaze fell on Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui, saying with a smile: "It may be a little late for you to kick me out now. I am sure I am not afraid of being kicked out if I dare to step into your door. Besides, since I am here, I am sure the people from the Cui family in Qinghe are also curious about how someone could oppose the marriage between your two families? You kicked me out just like that, aren't you afraid that the Cui family will have a grudge? Some things may not be so easy to explain, right?"
The Li family knew that Mao Xiaocao was engaged, as did Grandma Yu from Tiandao Peak and the elders of Nan Kunlun. Naturally, the people from the Cui family in Qinghe could not know about it, but when they saw Wang Jingzhe suddenly rushing in, the people from the Cui family were not stupid and suddenly realized that there might be some other plot behind this marriage.
Li Lanrong was so angry that his face turned pale. He stood up in an instant, pointed at Wang Jingzhe and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our two families are engaged, our parents and elders are here, what does it have to do with you? What's the grudge? What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for him to be carried out in a sedan chair?"
Wang Jingzhe glanced at the people around him, and when he saw Cui Xuance, his gaze paused and he smiled meaningfully.
Someone was about to grab Wang Jingzhe, but Cui Xuance, who had been silent since arriving in Longxi, suddenly spoke up: "Uncle Li, Auntie, as the male party of the engagement, can't I have a say?"
"Mr. Cui, of course you have the right to speak, but wait until I kick this troublemaker out..."
Cui Xuance pointed at Wang Jingzhe and said, "My speech is directed at him. How can I speak if you drive him out? Isn't it?"
Li Lanrong was speechless. Mao Qingshui said with a smile, "Look at the strange clothes he wears. I think he is just fooling around and is not mentally normal. Why listen to his nonsense?"
Cui Xuance laughed and said, "If Longqingxiang's gowns can be said to be weird, then I really don't know which clothes can be considered normal. Uncle and aunt, you may not have seen many people who can wear Longqingxiang's custom-made gowns, right?"
Cui Xuance had sharp eyes and could spot the Longqingxiang trademark under Wang Jingzhe's robe at a glance. Every year, the Cui family would order several sets of this kind of clothes from the owner of Longqingxiang, so he could recognize it easily.
Li Lanrong exhaled deeply and sat back in his chair, his face very unfriendly. Cui Xuance turned his head and smiled, "What did you say about this marriage just now?"
"Dissenting"
"Why do you have objections?"
Wang Jingzhe said: "The eldest daughter of the Li family and I have already been engaged. It was arranged by the elders of both families. She wants to be engaged to someone other than me, so I naturally have objections."
Cui Xuance narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Cui Chenliang looked at Wang Jingzhe indifferently and then turned to look at the Li family members next to him.
Mao Qingshui said calmly, "That's nonsense. You said that my daughter is engaged. So she is engaged? Who is the elder in your family? And which elder in our Li family did you arrange it with? Words are useless. What evidence do you have? Is it a signature or a token? An engagement is not something that can be easily made with empty words, right?"
"You're asking about my elders? My father, Wang Xianzhi..."
When Wang Jingzhe said the name of Wang Dad, the Cui and Li families were stunned. Their minds quickly turned over, but after thinking for a long time, no one knew who this Wang Xianzhi was. It seemed that there was no such person among ordinary people or Taoist masters. Mao Qingshui laughed immediately, and said in an exaggerated way: "I thought you could come up with some earth-shattering name, it seems that we are ignorant of it."
Wang Jingzhe didn't take it seriously and continued, "Back then, it was my father and your Li family's old master who made the engagement."
Li Lanrong sneered and said, "You are still talking nonsense. If there is an engagement, do you have a written document to prove it?"
"No," Wang Jingzhe shook his head.
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
"also not"
"Is there a token of my Li family?"
"still have not"
Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui burst into laughter. Cui Chenliang and the elders of Southern Kunlun also frowned. Granny Yu couldn't help but say, "Young man, you are too unreasonable. You want everything but nothing. Are you making fun of us?"
"I indeed did not do what you said, but my father has made the marriage contract. Unless we are father and son, no one in this world dares to deny it!" Wang Jingzhe said lightly.
"What a joke... " Li Lanrong scolded coldly, and turned to Cui Chenliang and said, "Brother Chenliang, I'm sure you can see that this person is talking nonsense. If he could really produce evidence of the engagement, I would simply accept it. But he wants nothing, but he wants to insult my Li family with just a few words. You saw this with your own eyes, right?"
Cui Liangchen thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be true."
"Then have someone kick him out and don't let him disturb our wedding here." Li Lanrong suddenly stood up, pointed at Wang Jingzhe and said, " Do you want to walk out by yourself, or do you want me to ask someone to carry you out?"
"I can go by myself. Master Li, let me ask you a question. Do you dare to agree?" Wang Jingzhe asked with disdain, his hands behind his back.
"you say!"
Wang Jingzhe raised his head and said word by word: "As long as you tell me in person that there is no marriage between the eldest granddaughter of the Li family and the Wang family of Chaoge, I will turn around and leave immediately, and never set foot in your Li family's mansion again. From now on, I will never mention the marriage between me and your young lady of the Li family."
Mao Qingshui was immediately delighted. Li Lanrong pursed his lips and said, "Really?"
"Do you dare to admit it?"
"It never happened. You are just making up nonsense. Why should I be afraid to admit it?"
Wang Jingzhe smiled and said meaningfully: "Okay, if you admit it, I will leave right away."
Li Lanrong paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The marriage between the eldest granddaughter of the Li family and the Wang family of Chaoge does not exist. It is pure nonsense."
Li Lanrong was a little confused in his heart just now. He knew that Taoists attached great importance to promises made in person, but he thought that the marriage was decided by his father and Wang Jingzhe's father and had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care too much.
As soon as Li Lanrong finished speaking, the main hall fell silent.
But at the same time, just when Li Lanrong uttered the last word, a dark cloud quickly condensed over the Li family, and merged together at an extremely fast speed, and then a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the clouds.
"Crack!" A muffled thunder sounded out of nowhere. Above the Li Clan Ancestral Hall in the Li family mansion, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clouds and struck the ancestral hall below.
Li Lanrong raised his head in a daze, wondering suspiciously, where did the lightning come from?
Things like swearing an oath should not be done lightly, because there will always be people who will say that if I lie or do something like that, I will be struck by lightning.
Probably, it should be like this now.
"Crack!" The second thunder struck while everyone was still confused, and the main hall of the Li family suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, and even the fifth thunder struck down one after another, making several people's heads buzz.
When a thunder explodes out of nowhere, there will be a sudden change.
