Chapter 272 Termination
of the Contract
As soon as Liu Dan entered the General's Mansion, he always felt that he could not calm down. He said that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could the tiger have passed? But this is the reality. Although Liu Dan knew that if he wanted to withdraw from the engagement, he had to enter the General's Mansion. At least from the perspective of respect, he had to enter the General's Mansion and break the engagement face to face. After all, this is a matter of destroying the agreement. If there are some omissions in his behavior, it will inevitably have some bad effects.
However, after entering the General's Mansion, Liu Dan began to worry about his safety. Although he had already begun to consider this issue before entering the General's Mansion, he had to admit that after entering the General's Mansion, this issue was felt personally. There was no such feeling outside, and this feeling became more obvious after being in the scene.
However, what Liu Dan didn't know was that the most dangerous thing at this time was not him, but the General's Mansion where he was now. It can be said that it is the closest time since the establishment of the General Mansion, or the development of the Ni family, to the present and destruction of the Ni family, is only in the mind of the head of the Ni family.
"How do you feel when you saw that boy just now?" Ni Yang, the head of the Ni family, asked his wife Ni Fang.
"On average, that kid is not worthy of our Rong'er at all. In my opinion, it's better to send him away early." Ni Fang said, "If Wei'er hadn't hurt him a little, I'd probably have driven him away long ago."
"How is his injury? Don't let someone catch the handle." Ni Yang said.
"The doctor went to see it just now, but there was only some minor injuries, and it was nothing serious." Ni Fang said, "But it's all like that, the boy still doesn't look angry at all. In my opinion, he is either a good man or a licker. Don't let them rely on our Ni family."
"Yeah." Ni Yang nodded, "I don't have the convenience of this matter. You are Rong'er's biological mother, so let's refuse this matter for me."
"So, I'll clean up and advise him to give up." Ni Fang nodded and went to pack up some small gifts.
"What's wrong with that boy?" Nearing Liu Dan's resting room, Ni Fang asked the people who had been guarding here.
"I'm very calm. I waited for so long, but I didn't show any anxiety at all." The guard said, "I just asked the medicine I gave me, and then turned it off, as if I was a little concerned."
"Mind? It's ridiculous that I have a general's mansion and there are still things he can mind." Ni Fang waved her hand and asked the guard to retreat, and walked into the room with two nannies holding gift boxes.
Compared to his appearance in front of the general's mansion at the beginning, Ni Fang's clothes were even more elegant and luxurious at this time. Even the silk clothes that were worn on her body during festivals were casually worn by Ni Fang. A series of jewelry were hung on her body, looking graceful and luxurious. Even the two nannies around her were wearing fine cotton clothes and followed carefully.
Although Liu Dan, who was standing by, did not have so many accessories and only wore a cotton coat, she was not inferior in comparison.
Because Liu Dan's cotton coat has ordinary materials, it is an absolute first-grade lower-level Horcrux. Although it is a first-grade lower-level Horcrux, the first-grade lower-level Horcrux is divided into many levels. Liu Dan wears a very ordinary type of cotton coat with only waterproof and stain-proof effect.
Although this effect is useless, it avoids the trouble of washing clothes and is welcomed by many practitioners. Therefore, many pattern sculptors value this approach, with small profits but quick turnover, and optimized a large number of patterns to reduce the production cost again and again. In Yu'an, any practitioner could afford such a piece of clothing. If you tailor your clothes, the need might be higher, but practitioners could still afford it.
But that was in Yu'an, and in Fangguo, even cotton coats were expensive. Such a piece of clothing that was almost not a Horcrux would be very expensive, at least it was much more expensive than Ni Fang's combined, after all, they were all vulgar things.
Seeing Ni Fang coming, Liu Dan naturally guessed the identity of this person, so he saluted the beautifully dressed lady, thinking that the matter was about to be resolved and was about to take the engagement to speak.
Ni Fang reached out and signaled that she was not in a hurry. She sat down slowly in the main seat, took the tea brought by the woman in charge, looked at him and said calmly, "Is it convenient to come to the imperial city? How about food and accommodation?"
Liu Dan knew that this was a greeting. After all, it was a bit inappropriate when he first came to someone's house and was about to break off the engagement, but he felt that there was nothing to greet. This little thing was nothing compared to Zhou Wutian's things. However, because it was an elder who spoke, he naturally could not lose his courtesy. "I came here for the first time and had not settled down yet, so I came to visit."
"So that's it." Ni Fang frowned and looked at him coldly, thinking that this boy from a remote countryside didn't even sit on his butt, and just came to the mansion to talk about the marriage with his wedding letter. It was ridiculous to be so anxious, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but wonder.
As the elders of the clan said, it was too evil to come here suddenly. It seemed that it was just for their Ni family, and combined with the place where the Liu family in Xuancheng was located and the place where Hu Yu appeared, it was hard not to think of the two together.
Liu Dan didn't care about these things at all. He just wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible, and then hurried back to solve other problems. He first came to the imperial city and had a heavy task. He was still very busy, so there was no need to waste too much time, so he did not continue to talk, but stood up and prepared to hand over the wedding book.
However, his actions made Ni Fang even more dissatisfied. Ni Fang's eyes looked at him even more coldly. Even if he didn't think about the old relationship between the Ni family and the Liu family, Liu Dan shouldn't be aggressive just by relying on this marriage letter. He wanted to make the Ni family clear their position so urgently.
"I won't agree to this marriage. It doesn't make sense if you take out the wedding letter." Ni Fang said.
Liu Dan naturally did not expect to hear this, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I have heard a little about the matter between the Liu family and the Ni family back then. At that time, I decided on this marriage for some reason." Ni Fang said, "According to common sense, this marriage should be witnessed by this generation and completed by the next generation. In the future, the affairs between the Liu family and the Ni family will be spread and made a good story."
Ni Fang looked at Liu Dan and her expression gradually became colder. "It should have been like this, but unfortunately, those things only appeared in the play, but it was impossible to happen in reality." Ni Fang continued, "Since the decline of the Ni family and the death of the ancestor, the Ni family is no longer the Ni family. This engagement naturally no longer exists. Besides, there is no need for the grudges and hatreds of the previous generation to be missed by us, right?"
Ni Fang looked at Liu Dan without giving any chance to speak, and continued, "I know you are a smart person, and smart people should naturally speak like smart people. What you are thinking about now is not how to continue this marriage, but how much compensation can you get. After all, although the marriage cannot be done, the friendship between the two families is still there, and I can't let you go empty-handed and leave empty-handed." Speaking of this, Ni Fang couldn't help but glance at Liu Dan.
"Why?" Liu Dan couldn't help but squinted his eyes and asked. Some things were already understood, but someone almost pointed it out.
"Why? It seems that you are not smart enough, you actually ask such a boring question." Ni Fang looked at Liu Dan and said, "You also know the current situation of the Liu family. You have come to the imperial city from Xuancheng thousands of miles away. You have seen a lot of the scene along the way. Don't you understand the gap in it? Your current strength is only the tenth floor of Yaoguang, the Liu family is only the local prince, and my daughter is now the third floor of Kaiyang, and the Ni family is also a general's mansion. Some things are important to be of equal status. Do I not explain clearly enough?"
"I understand." Liu Dan nodded, and there was no change in his voice. He seemed to be facing a very ordinary thing, very dull.
This kind of dullness is not a disguise or deliberateness, but a sparse and ordinary manifestation. People with this kind of manifestation either have a firm will and can rely on perseverance to suppress inner fluctuations when encountering anything, or are calm in their actions and nothing can cause trouble in their hearts.
Although Liu Dan possesses some of these aspects, it is far from this point. It can be said that if Liu Dan had not experienced these things before and came directly from Xuancheng to the General's Mansion, he might have heard Ni Fang's words and his emotions would have fluctuated greatly, at least not as calm as he is now.
After experiencing these things before, Liu Dan has already seen the world. Not to mention Sanguan City, even the scale of Dan City is comparable to the strength of the imperial city. Liu Dan came to the imperial city all the way, so there was no touch, let alone the feeling of coming from the village to the town. Therefore, the indifference shown in the face of Ni Fang now is not determined by his will and mood, but purely a kind of indifference of the superior.
After all, it's just a Ni family.
Ni Fang seemed to feel that all this was not enough and wanted to continue to put some pressure on Liu Dan to make him realize the reality and choose to break off the engagement.
He knew very well what the smart and proud boy like Liu Dan could not stand the most, and what would the final decision he would make under such pressure.
"Some things sound difficult, but the facts are there, and there is no doubt that the gap between you and my daughter is irreparable. This may not be fair, but it is a reality. You may be outstanding among your peers now, but it is in the remote Xuancheng, not the imperial city. Entering the General's Mansion may quickly make you rise in the imperial city, but for me and the General's Mansion, it is not the same happy thing. I hope you understand." Ni Fang said.
Ni Fang's voice was very plain, without the intention of being arrogant, but it had already explained the meaning. Although she didn't want to have a quarrel with the Liu family and had many concerns, when she saw Liu Dan's calm appearance, Ni Fang's anger became more and more powerful. If it weren't for the temperament of the masses he had cultivated since childhood, Ni Fang would have been furious now.
"Actually, I was here to break the engagement. After all, the grudges of the previous generation have caused the people I have never met to be entangled together, which is not suitable for anyone." Liu Dan said calmly, "This is a engagement, please accept it." As he said that, Liu Dan put the engagement on the case.
Ni Fang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she tried her best to do it and the final result was finally good. Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed, and then reached out to get the engagement.
However, just as Ni Fang reached forward, Liu Dan held the wedding book down, and said calmly, "The engagement is returned, and the Liu family and the Ni family have no relationship anymore. I can speak on behalf of the Liu family. Can the wife speak on behalf of the Ni family?"
After Liu Dan finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the room became cold in an instant, and Ni Fang's originally relaxed brows frowned again.
"What does it mean?" Ni Fang asked coldly.
"You are a smart person. You don't say secret words. You know the best of my meaning." Liu Dan said, still not relaxing in his hand. "I represent the Liu family in Xuancheng now." As he said that, Liu Dan put the order of the head of the family on the case and stood side by side with the wedding letter.
Ni Fang looked at the head of the family order at hand and frowned again. She naturally understood what Liu Dan said. There were seals and seals of the Ni family and the Liu family on the engagement, so naturally they would not be faked. When this engagement came here, there was no reason to doubt the authenticity of the head of the family order. Therefore, at this time, Ni Fang was not only facing Liu Dan, but the Liu family in Xuancheng. At the level of family will, she did not dare to make a decision, and it was useless to make a decision.
"Madam's words, it means the Ni family." Just as Ni Fang was frowning, Ni Yang appeared in the room.
"I am Ni Yang, the head of the Ni family. My words can represent the meaning of the Ni family. I wonder if you are satisfied with this?" As he said that, Ni Yang also placed the head of the family order on the table. Compared with the head of the Liu family, the head of the Ni family order was finer and wider, and it was also a middle-level soul weapon, which directly suppressed Liu Dan in terms of momentum.
"Is this what Miss Ni means?" Liu Dan continued to ask.
"This engagement was originally an agreement between families and had nothing to do with you and her. Now that the contract is terminated, it is just a return to the beginning." Ni Yang said coldly.
"The engagement contract has terminated, and the Liu family and the Ni family have no relationship anymore." Liu Dan did not let go of the engagement, but instead lifted his vitality into his palm, stirring up a flame, and burned the engagement completely.
Ni Yang and Ni Fang, who were standing aside, just watched quietly. This was the best solution they wanted to get. At least one of the big troubles were let go. Although they were very dissatisfied with Liu Dan's provocative behavior, the result was always good, and Ni Yang was unwilling to rekindle their relationship.
"Goodbye." Liu Dan stood up and bowed to Ni Yang and Ni Fang. This time, it was no longer a junior ritual, but a ritual between practitioners, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.
