Chapter 75: Imperial Decree to Cancel Engagement
At the Xu Mansion, ever since Xu Guanghai came back from the court meeting, he had been throwing a tantrum in the main courtyard.
The war killed a number of servants.
He personally whipped the four secret guards again.
His eyes were still wide open and he was extremely angry. It felt like there was a raging fire burning in his chest that could not be calmed down no matter what.
Not only the servants in the main courtyard, but all the servants in the mansion were treading on thin ice and trembling with fear.
Fear filled everyone's body and mind.
Including Yang, Rong, Lin and all the young ladies.
Even the old lady had never seen such a bloody side of her son.
Nor did he dare to step forward to stop it.
All she knew was that Xu Guanghai seemed to have been demoted.
She also clearly knew:
His son's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than fame and fortune.
After more than a decade of hard work, I finally reached my current position. I am respected, wealthy and famous, and my life seems to be reaching its peak.
Now that he has been dismissed, although he has not hit rock bottom, he has also been ridiculed. How can he, who has always been highly sought after, bear such a gap?
God knows how much he paid.
The old lady pinched eighteen seeds in one hand, closed her eyes tightly, and listened quietly to every move outside.
At this moment, everyone just hoped that his anger would subside as soon as possible.
In such a strange atmosphere, the doorman reported in a trembling voice: "Master, someone from the palace is coming, and they are almost at the gate of the mansion..."
Xu Guanghai glared at him angrily. The word he hated to hear the most at this moment was "the palace".
But he still had to suppress his anger, set up the table, burn incense, and bring his wife, children and the elderly to welcome and wait respectfully.
No one knows whether the coming blessing or disaster is coming.
If it's a happy event, it might ease the situation, but if it's a disaster...
I’m afraid the Xu family won’t be able to enjoy peace in the near future.
The eunuch who came had a thin face, but his eyes sparkled with shrewdness.
As soon as I entered Xu's house, I keenly felt the strange atmosphere.
He ignored it and acted in a businesslike manner: "Xu Guanghai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, received the order—"
Xu Guanghai and a group of people, young and old, lifted their robes, knelt down, and bowed their heads to the ground.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Xu Guanghai, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, abused his power for personal gain, accepted bribes privately, and lacks moral integrity, so he is not fit for the position.
His behavior goes against my will and makes me feel very disappointed, so I cancel the engagement between Xu Mingxi, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and Prince Rong.
I hope you will sincerely repent in the future.
Hereby——"
Xu Guanghai never dreamed that what he would receive today would be Xu Mingxi's imperial edict of breaking off the engagement!
He stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
After the old lady's gentle reminder, he reluctantly accepted the imperial edict:
"——Thank you, Your Majesty. I, Xu Guanghai——will receive your order——"
The bright yellow imperial edict seemed to add new fuel to Xu Guanghai's raging rage.
He felt dizzy and swayed, trying to get up.
The old lady asked the nanny to give a bag of silver to the eunuch who announced the decree and sent him away.
Only then did he turn his attention to Xu Guanghai.
Xu Guanghai's emotions had been up and down like surging waves in recent days, and finally he was exhausted. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell straight down.
Everyone was in a panic and rushed to help Xu Guanghai inside, calling for the palace doctor.
However, no one had time to notice the emotional changes of the other protagonist of this incident - Xu Mingxi.
From the moment she heard the word "broken engagement", she felt a sharp buzzing sound in her mind.
After that, I never heard a single word of the rest of the imperial edict again.
Even Xu Guanghai's abnormality was not noticed at all.
There are only two words in my mind:
"break off an engagement."
He really, broke off the engagement! Just as he said, he broke off the engagement!
Others don't know about this, but she knows it.
Qin Yuechuan had clearly told her earlier that he wanted to break off the engagement. If she hadn't disrupted the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, he would have succeeded.
Xu Mingxi originally thought that as long as he showed enough sincerity, he could win back Qin Yuechuan's heart.
She knew she was wrong, she really knew she was wrong!
Why does this situation still happen!
Xu Mingxi's knees went weak and he fell to the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Just staring at the ground.
At this point, Qin Yuechuan's reactions were so different from his previous life that she finally realized a terrible reality:
Qin Yuechuan doesn't love her anymore!
But why, in the previous life, it wasn't...
Past life... present life...
Xu Mingxi suddenly had a terrible guess:
If she had it to happen again, then... would Qin Yuechuan be the same?
She was suddenly shocked by her own thought.
If so, then everything makes sense.
Why would the token be returned?
Why did he strike at Qin Zhaolie's weak spot as if he had predicted it?
Why did she resolutely cancel the engagement without hesitation?
If, if Qin Yuechuan also came back again...
Xu Mingxi felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he fainted on the ground.
"Xi'er!"
Worried about Xu Mingxi and unable to find him, Yang went and returned.
Xu Mingxi was found unconscious.
"Someone come, someone come!" Yang was crying like rain.
She screamed and wailed as the servants carried her back to Chaohuiyuan.
Some are sad and some are happy.
Xu Baiyu and Aunt Rong looked worried about Xu Guanghai's safety. They both frowned, wiped their tears with handkerchiefs, and kept asking the palace doctor: "How is the master? Is he seriously injured?"
The old doctor looked solemn and concentrated with bated breath.
After observing his complexion, taking his pulse and applying acupuncture, he relaxed his brows and said to everyone, "The master's heart meridian is blocked and his anger is attacking his heart.
All you have to do in the near future is to keep your mood calm, don't get angry, and don't be too happy or too sad.
Just drink some tranquilizing medicine and you'll be fine."
The old lady sent someone to give him a reward of silver and asked him to go and boil the medicine.
I just stayed quietly by the bed, lowered my head and wiped away my tears silently.
Xu Baiyu and Aunt Rong breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Xu Guanghai was fine.
Then they turned their backs and exchanged glances, and their thoughts were self-evident.
Xu Guanghai was demoted, Xu Mingxi's engagement was broken off, and the entire direct line of the Xu family was finished.
Now, as long as she contacts the Earl's Mansion and helps Xu Guanghai, and Xu Baiyu shows her value and attracts attention at this moment, then their family will rise.
The future was bright and promising. Xu Baiyu and Rong Shi seemed to have seen a smooth road that had been paved. They only needed to step on it to rise to the top.
By then, let alone being the second wife, if she works hard, it is possible for her to become the first wife.
Besides a little concern for Xu Guanghai, the two of them were mostly filled with ecstasy.
Seize this opportunity!
At this moment, a little maid came to report in a panic: "Madam, it's bad, it's bad, the second young lady has also fainted!"
"What!" The old lady stood up suddenly, but due to lack of energy and blood, her head felt dizzy and she sat back down.
Everyone gathered around her again: "Old Madam! Old Madam!"
Xu Baiyu seized the opportunity, pretended to show concern, gently stroked the old lady's chest, and scolded the little maid:
"Why are you so flustered? Can't you see that the old lady is worried about your father? She is already feeling upset, and you are irritating her like this."
He pretended to be filial and blamed Xu Mingxi, "Second sister is really something. She fainted not earlier or later, but at this moment.
Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire? How ignorant of this!"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the old lady.
But he ran into a pair of eyes that were cloudy but full of coldness.
"Listen to what you are saying!"
