Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 511: Speaking Out at the Banquet

Li House.

The look that Old Master Wen gave the Ningyuan Marquis' son was nothing short of vicious.

The Prince of Ningyuan shuddered in his heart.

His original character was loyal and honest.

At this time, he thought of his wife and children.

Although what his father-in-law did was very unkind.

But he is his wife's father and his children's grandfather after all.

If he told the truth in front of so many people.

So it’s not just his father-in-law’s family who are embarrassed today.

Even their Marquis' Mansion will be embarrassed as well.

So he just opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Mr. Wen was quite satisfied with his son-in-law's tact.

"When the marriage was arranged, I had already gone to the south to take up my post. It was his mother, Madam Li, who came to our house to arrange the marriage."

“That’s understandable.”

The young Prince Fu looked at the young man who had remained silent with great interest.

"Then where did this matter of breaking off the engagement come from?"

The third prince asked quickly.

Old Master Wen started to complain.

"My two princes, please don't listen to other people's nonsense. My family is very satisfied with you, and we have never withdrawn from this marriage."

Wen Ruyue's father also spoke.

"Ruyue in our family has been waiting for Wansheng to return to Beijing to get married. She is already 20 years old this year and has become an old maid."

"Li Wansheng, this is your fault. The girl has waited for you for so many years. Do you still want to break off the engagement?"

Little Prince Fu is a man who loves to watch the fun and no matter how big the event.

He yelled at Wansheng.

I calmly bowed to the young Prince Fu.

"I have already said that I did have an engagement with Miss Wen before, but three years ago, someone from the Wen family suddenly came to our house and canceled the engagement."

"Our Wen family did not come to cancel the engagement. You are talking nonsense."

Old Master Wen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at me. He looked at me and scolded me.

"When we called off the engagement, the matchmaker came along."

My brother-in-law stood up again and spoke in support of me.

"Anyway, we don't know about the concept of canceling an engagement in our house. Maybe the matchmaker was bribed by your house?"

Mr. Wen turned the tables.

Now no matter who says what, he just has to deny it.

"This is interesting."

The young Prince Fu looked at the third prince.

"Old Third, you are in charge of investigating cases in the Ministry of Justice. Tell me, who is lying in this matter?"

The third prince thought to himself, isn't this just a louse on a bald man's head, it's so obvious?

Although he felt that Li Wan was not good-looking and not worthy of his protection.

But there is also a Concubine Ye in the palace.

He believed that if he didn't help Li Wansheng today.

From now on, he can forget about making a living at Ning Yuxuan.

At this time, the young Prince Fu also had the same idea as the third prince.

However, even if they wanted to favor Li Wansheng.

Those necessary procedures still need to be followed.

The third prince cleared his throat.

"This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Now the Li family says that they have cancelled the engagement, but the Wen family is stubbornly refusing to admit it..."

When Mr. Wen heard what the third prince said, he felt a little upset.

What is it that the Wen family is holding on to so tightly?

They are human beings, not dogs, why do they have to bite them?

Of course, he was dissatisfied in his heart.

But on the surface, he still listened to the third prince's analysis calmly.

"This matter needs several parties to be present to explain it clearly, why not..."

"Why don't we call all the parties involved here, and let's discuss this matter face to face and make it clear today."

Little Prince Fu took over the Third Prince's words and said excitedly.

"I agree with the proposal of the Third Prince and Prince Fu."

I immediately cooperated and responded.

Mr. Wen didn't object either.

It would be good if they called everyone over.

The purpose of their coming here today is to publicly announce that Ruyue is Wansheng’s fiancée.

Anyway, the Li family has no chance of shirking their responsibilities regarding this marriage.

He knew very well the abilities of his granddaughter.

By then, I hope the people in the Li Mansion will be able to withstand it.

It seems that Mr. Wen has no objection.

The third prince signaled to Patriarch Li to send someone to call everyone who knew the inside story to the living room.

Of course, the people in Li’s house have already started to remove the banquet from the table.

With such a big change happening in the living room, no one could eat.

Even those who were not full did not dare to speak.

If you dare to say that you are not full in front of the prince, then you don't want to survive anymore.

A person who indulges in food and drink is destined to go nowhere.

This time, it was Patriarch Li who went to the inner courtyard in person.

The women in the inner courtyard had finished their meal and were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

Then Chief Li walked in.

Looking at Wen Ruyue from the Wen family, she was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.

Patriarch Li sighed in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he finally understood what it meant to not judge a book by its cover.

The lady in front of him looked dignified and noble.

No one could have imagined that she was so filthy inside.

"All of you, follow me to the living room."

Patriarch Li did not specify which ones.

However, a few people who already knew what was going on stood up.

Zhang didn't understand what Patriarch Li meant at first.

Mrs. Lee took her hand and gave her a soothing smile.

"Come with me and meet the noble man."

My elder sister, who was born later, supported Madam Li.

Madam Li was supporting her mother, Madam Hou.

Following behind them was the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis, who had remained silent the entire time.

Several people walked into the living room.

None of them paid any attention to Wen Ruyue who was following behind them.

Wen Ruyue was so excited that she almost burst into laughter.

She knew it in her heart.

This must be because grandpa and his men revealed her identity as Li Wansheng's fiancée in the living room in front of the nobles.

When she gets to the living room later, she must behave herself.

She wanted to let the nobles see that she not only had a good family background, but also had a good upbringing.

She wanted everyone to know.

She, Wen Ruyue, is more than qualified to match Li Wansheng.

So, when Wen Ruyue walked into the living room, that was the impression she gave to everyone.

That is…

This Miss Wen Ruyue is indeed a noble lady from a prominent family.

Her standard lady's etiquette and the perfect gentle smile...

"My daughter Wen Ruyue greets the elders."

Wen Ruyue walked into the living room and bowed deeply to everyone in the room.

Of course, now that no one introduced the two princes to her, she didn't need to kowtow to greet them.

The young Prince Fu and the third prince looked at each other.

This Wen Ruyue doesn't look like someone who is easy to deal with.

Her calmness alone made the two men look at her with admiration.

The little Prince Fu, who was sitting on the upper seat, raised his hand and motioned for her to stand up.

"Just now your grandfather was here and publicly announced that you are the fiancée of Li Wansheng..."

The third prince looked at Wen Ruyue.

"I wonder if Miss Wen feels the same way?"
