C14 We're Going to be Robbed
Within the Pine Crane Court, Xu Renyu, his wife, and Lin Loong were both there. What made Xu Zhaoning surprised was that even father dregs Xu Chengke was also there.
"You evil creature, hurry up and kneel down!"
Xu Zhaoning crossed the threshold and smacked Mrs Xu's teacup beside her feet. Xu Zhaoning dodged quickly, so she didn't get smacked. Xu Chengke, who was the closest to her, was shocked.
"Xu Zhaoning, why aren't you kneeling down to calm your grandmother down?" Xu Chengke frowned as he looked at his daughter walking in from outside. After a few days, he felt that his daughter seemed a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different about her.
Anyone who got slapped by the teacup in this way would be in a bad mood, not to mention that Xu Zhaoning's anger had not yet subsided from the restaurant and was about to be gobbled down while the veins on her forehead were popping.
However, her gaze swept past Xu Yanran. Seeing her smiling face, Xu Zhaoning's gaze flickered and she changed her mind.
Xu Qing stepped forward in a hurried and flustered manner. Drama. Zhaoning went online again. "Old madam, is the emperor coming to take over our house?"
"Master Hou, why are you standing there foolishly? Go back to your room and pack up all the gold and silver. Take as much as you can take."
"And you, Mrs. Lin, hurry up and take the land deeds with banknotes. Oh, and that's right, there's also the land deeds with banknotes in your private bank."
"Second Sister, you …"
Seeing that Xu Zhaoning's words were getting more and more outrageous, Mrs Xu shouted again with a darkened face, "Xu Zhaoning, shut up!"
Xu Zhaoning, whose heart was trembling as she was being shouted at, looked up at Mrs Xu in confusion. "Old madam, could it be that Zhaoning said something wrong? "If the Emperor didn't want to rob our family, then why are you so angry?"
Mrs Xu breathed rapidly as she pointed at Xu Zhaoning, as if she wanted nothing more than to skin her.
However, Xu Zhaoning was looking back at her with an innocent expression. No matter how hard she tried to teach her, she wasn't scared in the slightest.
"Enough, speak properly with Zhaoning. Don't scare the child." Xu Renyu couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Mrs Xu's vicious words.
However, Xu Zhaoning didn't follow common sense and exclaimed with a face full of joy: "Didn't I say it before? Our Loyalty Duke's Mansion has Old Duke and the imperial concubine here, how could we let a person rob our family?"
At this moment, even Xu Renyu was a bit speechless. For some reason, he felt like someone had flattered him.
On the side, Lin Loong saw that Xu Zhaoning wasn't intimidated by Mrs Xu and gave Xu Chengke a look anxiously. After Xu Chengke received it, he coughed loudly a few times and then said to Xu Zhaoning,
"Since the marriage between you and His Highness is no longer possible, then from now on, you shouldn't go out of the residence as you wish. After all, the reputation of having your marriage annulled by the crown prince isn't very pleasant." "In the future, let your mother choose the marriage for you, regardless of the status of your disciples, as long as you don't mind."
Heh, from the looks of it, it seemed like she was only thinking for Xu Zhaoning's sake, but from the beginning, she directly decided that Xu Zhaoning would marry into the family.
Xu Zhaoning raised her head and looked at Xu Renyu, Mrs Xu, and Lin Loong. Seeing that, they were not the least bit surprised by Xu Chengke's words, as if they were supposed to be like this.
What a joke, they didn't even find out that she was betrothed to Si Jingyu, and these people immediately began to figure out how to send her away.
What a loyal family!
Xu Zhaoning sneered. Perhaps it was because the smile on her face was too big, but Xu Chengke could not help but scold angrily: "What kind of look is that, am I wrong about what I said? Your marriage has been annulled by the crown prince and your innocence and reputation are already gone. Do you still want to marry anyone good?
"Then I would like to ask Father, how did you know that I was annulled by the Crown Prince?" Xu Zhaoning looked at Xu Chengke with a faint smile and her tone slowly turned cold.
"Our Loyalty Duke's Mansion naturally has people arranged in the palace." Xu Chengke was very proud, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words and looked at Xu Zhaoning proudly.
Xu Zhaoning really wanted to laugh at him. Once again, her gaze swept across the entire stadium. When it landed on Xu Yanran's face, Xu Yanran arrogantly shouted at Xu Zhaoning.
"Xu Zhaoning, who cares where we got the news from? In short, you can no longer call yourself Crown Princess anymore." Also, you are not allowed to call yourself a direct daughter in the future either. The direct daughter of Loyalty Duke's Mansion is only me, Xu Yanran.
Xu Zhaoning finally couldn't hold it in anymore and rolled her eyes. She looked coldly at Xu Chengke and said, "Didn't the people arranged by Loyalty Duke's Mansion in the palace tell you that His Highness the crown prince denied his feelings for Second Sister in front of the empress dowager and the emperor?"
"Xu Zhaoning, what do you mean by that!?" His Highness the Crown Prince has personally promised me that as long as I break off the engagement with you, Xu Zhaoning, I will be married back to the Eastern Palace. "
A bad premonition arose in Xu Yanran's heart. bitch's expression was too serious, so she started to feel uneasy.
"Heh …" You people are really carrying me on your backs and crossing Chen Cang! " Xu Zhaoning played around with a strand of her hair. Her tone was indescribably relaxed and satisfied.
Xu Renyu vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Xu Zhaoning's words. He frowned and asked, "Zhaoning, what happened in the palace today? Did you break off the engagement between you and the Crown Prince?"
"What do you think, Old Duke?" Xu Zhaoning tilted her head and continued to twirl her black hair. When Xu Renyu started to get anxious, she raised her head and chuckled.
"Old Duke is respected, the Imperial Concubine's mind is active, and the Emperor is wise and wise. He naturally knows that no matter which girl is Loyalty Duke's Mansion, they will not be an excellent candidate for Crown Princess. Furthermore, His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely talented and intelligent.
Xu Zhaoning-yin left her to her own discretion. Xu Chengke was incompetent, but she believed that Xu Liu-gang could understand the meaning of her words. She had agreed with Si Jingyu for three years. In these three years, even though her identity as the big miss of Xu Family wouldn't bring her any convenience, she couldn't be a synonym for decline.
So Loyalty Duke's Mansion still had a reason to exist at the moment. If he wanted Loyalty Duke's Mansion to be safe, then he must let Xu Old Duke know the emperor's fear of Loyalty Duke's Mansion.
"Zhaoning, the emperor, and the crown prince …"
"Just as you thought, the crown prince, in front of the empress dowager and emperor, requested that their marriage be annulled. At the same time, he told the empress dowager and emperor that he had no personal feelings for Second Sister, and that there would be no future for him."
"Alright, I understand." A dark light shone in Xu Renyu's eyes as he accompanied Jun like a tiger. Even though he was not present, he understood a little of the meaning behind Xu Zhaoning's words.
It was likely that the Emperor was testing the crown prince. In order to avoid offending him, the crown prince had denied his relationship with Yanran. To Loyalty Duke's Mansion, this could also be considered a false alarm. It was just that he never would have thought that such a false alarm was caused by Xu Zhaoning.
Looking at the calm Xu Zhaoning, a light flashed in Xu Renyu's eyes.
