Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

A red palm print gradually appeared on Xie Chengyin's face, which showed that Xie Chengyi had really hit him hard.

But he still stiffened his neck and refused to give in to this matter. He would not give in on this matter no matter what.

Xie Chengyi also noticed his brother's stubbornness. Helplessly, he could only walk up to Xiao Yizhui and bow sincerely, "Second Miss Xiao, I offended you with my words. Please forgive me. I will teach him a lesson when I return home."

Xiao Yizhu was startled by Xie Chengyi's action. Her eyes full of hatred suddenly turned into a soft and pitiful look, like a wounded deer. "I... I'm fine."

He said that he was fine, but his frightened look with red eyes made anyone feel that he had suffered a great injustice.

Xie Chengyi bowed again, "Thank you for your tolerance, Miss Xiao Er. I am sorry for you. I will definitely fulfill this marriage as promised."

There was a faint hint of joy in Xiao Yizhui's eyes, but he lowered his head in fear and embarrassment.

She knew that Xie Chengyi was not someone who would change his mind easily, and even if that person was his younger brother, she could not influence his decision.

When Xie Chengyin heard that his brother was still going to fulfill his engagement with Xiao Yizhui, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, but was forced back by Xie Chengyi's cold look.

He had already seen that his brother had made up his mind about this matter, and even if he made a big fuss today, it would not change his brother's mind.

But for the sake of his brother and the future of the Yongding Marquisate, he would not give up even if he could not stop it today.

Xie Chengyin glanced at Xiao Yizhui coldly, snorted coldly, turned around and left, completely ignoring Emperor Tianqing who was still sitting at the top.

Emperor Tianqing was a spectator for a long time. Seeing Xie Chengyi lower his posture and finally let the matter go for the time being, his frown relaxed.

He had thought that the combination of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion would be a beautiful story, but he didn't expect it to end up in such an ugly way.

A good marriage failed and the in-laws almost became enemies.

He pinched his brows tiredly and told Yang Zhao to return to the palace.

Qiu Fuqiu, who was standing nearby and watching the show, couldn't help but turn away when she saw Xie Chengyin apologizing to Xiao Yizhui. Although she kept comforting herself in her heart, she still felt a pain in her heart when she saw Xie Chengyi vowing so firmly that he would fulfill his engagement with someone else.

In this case, it is better not to look at it. Out of sight, out of mind.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry that was rising again.

At this time, a big hand was placed on Qiu Fuqiu's shoulder. Qiu Fuqiu turned around and couldn't help but let the tears well up in her eyes flow out. The bean-sized tears fell down like beads with broken string.

"It's all your fault. I dressed up for nothing today."

Xu Zhengran patted Qiu Fuqiu's shoulder soothingly, and a look of sympathy appeared on his face as he saw Qiu Fuqiu trying hard not to cry.

"I didn't know this was going to happen. When I met His Majesty a month ago, he said he was going to arrange a marriage for Marquis Yongding, so I told you this gossip. Why are you blaming me?"

Qiu Fuqi pinched her nose and said, "It's all your fault." She made her think that she could catch Xie Chengyi's eye by dressing up beautifully.

Who would have thought that she already had someone in her heart? No wonder even though she chased after Xie Chengyi all day, all she got in return was his neglect and cold face.

I thought he was just such a cold-tempered person, but it turns out he just didn't have her in his heart.

Qiu Fuqiu sobbed and didn't dare to cry loudly and attract attention for fear of further embarrassment.

Xu Zhengran looked at Xie Chengyi, who was chasing his brother away with a sullen face, then turned to look at Qiu Fuqiu and said mysteriously, "Today, since you are so pitiful, I will tell you another piece of news. When I went out today, I asked for divination, and the divination showed that the wedding day of the Yongding Marquis Mansion is the day of the mansion's demise. So, I advise you to be more open-minded. This marriage may not be a good thing."

Qiu Fuqiu glared at Xu Zhengran and said with disdain, "I heard you're a charlatan and you really acted like that. The Yongding Marquisate has been a family of three generations, can you just say that the family will be destroyed? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tell Lin Fengyang about your whereabouts."

As expected, upon hearing the name Lin Fengyang, Xu Zhengran's face suddenly froze, and he immediately surrendered, "Is it okay if I don't say anything?"

But he still muttered quietly: "Destiny can't be changed without saying it."

Yan Ci had been standing beside Qiu Fuqiu. Seeing Xu Zhengran, who was familiar with Qiu Fuqiu, she didn't care much. But when she heard him mention the Yongding Marquis' Mansion, she was shocked.

Qiu Fuqiu thought he was joking, but Yan Ci didn't think so. The wedding day was a sign of the demise of the mansion. Wasn't that exactly what Xie Chengyin said about the beginning of the demise of the Yongding Marquis's mansion?

Yan Ci couldn't help but look at Xu Zhengran seriously.

Xu Zhengran was standing alone, when suddenly he felt a gaze directed towards him. Looking back, he saw the delicate little girl standing next to Qiu Fuqiu.

That gaze was too sharp, and there was a hint of vigilance between his eyebrows.

He examined himself. He was wearing an official uniform today and thought he looked quite handsome. He didn't look like a bad guy at all. But what was wrong with this girl? She was staring at him as if he were a thief.

He smiled kindly and introduced himself: "I am Xu Zhengran, the newly appointed fourth-rank junior secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion."

Yan Ci glanced at him. She was unfamiliar with the name Xu Zhengran, but seeing that he was a weak scholar, she always felt that there was a kind of vulgarity in him, and he didn't look like a serious scholar.

Yan Ci didn't say much. Seeing that Emperor Tianqing had already left, he pulled Qiu Fuqiu away.

Qiu Fuqiu had long since stopped wanting to stay here, so when Yan Ci pulled her, she obediently followed him.

Xu Zhengran saw that he introduced himself to the other party but he just left without saying a word, so he followed him.

"Girl, everything has a give and take. You know my name and identity, but I don't know yours yet."

Yan Ci looked at him coldly, "Aren't you good at fortune-telling? Can't you even figure out my name and identity?"

Xu Zhengran choked, "Fortune-telling is to seek advice from God. It's just a small matter, there's no need to make such a fuss. Why don't you just tell me?"

"I want you to calculate it?"

Xu Zhengran frowned, "What if I say I can't figure it out?"

The first time he looked at Yan Ci, he secretly counted with his fingers and got a yin-yang hexagram.

This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a situation. Obviously, fortune-telling about the name and identity of the person was the simplest. He had calculated many times and all of them were correct. But when he met this girl today, he encountered a rare Yin-Yang hexagram, and he couldn't help feeling strange.

The Yin-Yang hexagram is the hexagram of life and death.

The living ask the heavens, and the dead ask the earth. There are only two situations when the life and death hexagram appears: either the person's death is approaching, or he will not live long.

But when he looked at Yan Ci, he thought that he was young and upright and did not fit into either of these two situations.

Qiu Fuqiu looked at Xu Zhengran's serious and tangled expression and laughed, "You, a charlatan, sometimes don't work."
