Chapter 026: What kind of gentleman is pretending to be a good man when he is in danger
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Xuan hurried to the front yard. On the quiet path connecting each small courtyard in the back yard of Zhang Mansion, he met Zhang Huan's wife, who was lonely and stunning, with the lonely and stunning curtain of the sky covered with fire clouds.
Song looked sad and panicked. Her husband was imprisoned and his life and death are uncertain. As his wife, she is obviously the hardest one in this mansion.
Her children obediently pulled the hem of their mother's skirt from left to right, accompanying each other silently. Although one was only seven or eight years old, the other was only ten years old, they had a sudden change. These two children who were usually lively and active seemed to become mature all of a sudden.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, walked over, leaned over and touched Zhang Huan's head, ten-year-old Zhang Yan, and said softly, "Sister-in-law-Yan'er, Liang'er, why are you standing here without going back to your room to rest?"
Zhang Yan shook her head and said softly, "Uncle San, Yan'er is with her mother."
When Song heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Xuan. A hint of shame flashed across her charming face. She pulled Zhang Yan and Zhang Liang over, stepped forward and blocked the two children behind her and said indifferently, "We are here to have some breath. Since the third uncle has something to do, please give it a try."
Zhang Xuan transformed from a playboy into a talented man who surpassed the three heroes of Chang'an. This news was not valued by the people of the Zhang family. Instead, Zhang Xuan made a shocking move of lying insulting Li Linfu's party at the Qujiangchi Poem and Wine Banquet, which had been spread throughout the Zhang family.
At this critical moment when Zhang Huan was in prison, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Xuan's move was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire and pushing Zhang Huan into the fire pit.
As Zhang Huan's wife, how could Song have no resentment towards him?
Song's voice was indifferent and his attitude was cold. Zhang Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, no longer quarrel with Song, but turned around and left.
Before the real turning point comes, he will not take anyone's misunderstandings and resistance from the Zhang family.
Zhang Xuan walked quickly. When he stepped into the front hall of Zhang Mansion, the Liu family, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Ning in the hall did not talk to the Cui family father and son, and the atmosphere was very dull and depressing.
At first glance, Zhang Xuan saw Cui Ju, the head of the Cui family, who was sitting upright in the guest seat, closed his eyes and resting with a cold expression. Cui Jin, the eldest son of Cui Ju, looked around and looked at some jade artifacts, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the Zhang family hall.
When he found Zhang Xuan entering the hall, Cui Jin immediately turned his head and looked at Zhang Xuan. The look of disdain and contempt in his eyes actually didn't want to cover it up at all.
Cui Ju also opened his eyes at the same time, staring at Zhang Xuan, a calm and decent young man who was walking step by step.
If the Zhang family had not offended Li Linfu, the disaster was about to come, if this boy's name was true, his appearance would be as strong as Ying Er. But now-
The Cui family is no longer as grand as before. If they accompany the Zhang family and Li Linfu as enemies, they will sooner or later die. Between the family's interests and the old relationship between the two families, Cui Ju chose the former without any hesitation.
Boy, if you want to blame, you are too ignorant and too reckless... Li Linfu was you, a yellow-haired man, who could scold Li Linfu? In order to show off your pleasure, your father scolded Li Linfu at the court meeting, but he was demoted to death. Cui Ju's thoughts flashed, and his eyes immediately became cold.
Zhang Xuan's calm eyes met with Cui Ju's cold eyes for a moment. Zhang Xuan had long known the intention of the Cui family's father and son. He had no impression of Cui Ying in the Cui family. This kind of emotional marriage did not belong to him, and he would retreat, which was not worth mentioning.
But to be honest, he was a little disappointed. Because of Cui Huan, he had a good impression of the Cui family. He thought that the Cui family had a strong reputation, but now it seems that he was just a secular person who was tempted by the flames and possessed the power.
"Uncle Cui... two uncles, mom!"
Zhang Xuan bowed in a row, smiled and greeted him one by one, and made a tribute, so that he could not tell any of his faults.
The Cui family and his son exchanged glances, and they felt that Zhang Xuan seemed to be a little different from the past. This kind of clear and elegant demeanor comes from the bones and cannot be faked at all.
Mrs. Liu glanced at her son and sighed quietly.
Zhang Jiuming breathed a long sigh and looked at Zhang Xuan and said coldly, "Xuan'er, the Cui family proposed to terminate your engagement with Miss Cui... Do you have something to say? If you have nothing to say, today, in front of your mother, someone and Lord Cui, I wrote a sign and seal the marriage certificate. From now on, each person will have nothing to do, and they will be married."
"Oh." Zhang Xuan said casually, but her expression did not change much.
If Zhang Xuan had excessive emotions, such as anger or disagreeing to break the engagement, it was all within Cui Ju's expectations, and he even prepared a lot of "says" for this, but this kid was indifferent, as if he didn't break the engagement seriously, and this indifferent expression made Cui Ju and his son feel a little unhappy.
Cui Ju subconsciously snorted coldly and said coldly, "The little girl married you, was decided by someone and Mr. Zishou when they were alive. The Cui and Zhang families are aristocratic families, and it is a good thing to get married to Qin and Jin. Unfortunately, you are a servant who is ignorant and ignorant all day long... wouldn't it delay my Ying'er's life? For many years, I have been giving you opportunities. As long as you are a little more successful, you and my families will definitely not reach this point."
Cui Ju's pretentious gesture made Zhang Xuan a little annoyed when he heard it. He thought to himself: You are just here to take advantage of others' danger, and you are so proud that you are simply a hypocrite.
What Zhang Xuan looked down upon most in his life was the kind of person who was a bitch and wanted to set up a archway. Suddenly, the only feeling of affection for Cui Ju was washed away.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Cui Ju, and replied coldly, "Uncle Cui, the so-called forced melon is not sweet. I will give up my marriage with Ling Qianjin. Why bother to say these useless nonsense?"
"Some words are not provoked, and everyone will keep some kindness... Since all the words are said to be so good, it's better not to be so shameless. Zhang Xuan would like to ask the uncle of the Cui family. The Cui family will not come early or late, but will come to break the engagement at this time. Aren't they afraid of being implicated by the Zhang family and offend Li Linfu?"
"Martial wife is a bird in the same forest, but when the disaster comes, they still have to fly their own lives, let alone the friendship between Cui and Zhang families, which has long been indifferent. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. The Cui family breaks off the engagement, Zhang Xuan can understand, but please don't be hypocritical. Why should you take advantage of others' danger and act like a gentleman?"
Although Zhang Xuan's voice was not loud, she was very tough, and her tone was filled with endless ridicule.
"You guy, you are sharp-tongued and talk nonsense..." Cui Ju's face turned red immediately, but was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Jiuming frowned, "Xuan'er, Lord Cui is an elder. There is no friendship in the marriage, so you must not be unreasonable to elders!"
Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently and bowed, "Yes, Zhang Xuan dared not. He just said tremblingly, and some words were like a thorn in his throat and vomited."
Seeing that his father was choked by Zhang Xuan, Cui Jin waved his hand dissatisfiedly and said in a deep voice, "Stop showing off your verbal advantage. This is the divorce document I wrote. You should sign and seal it on it."
Zhang Xuan glanced at Cui Jin and smiled loudly, "This marriage is indeed about Zhang Xuan's personal affairs, so Brother Cui doesn't have to do it for him. If someone comes, get paper and pen, it's fine when I write the document."
