Luoyang City is very large. As the capital of the Dajin Dynasty, there are the most luxurious imperial palaces and halls in the world, the most famous Spring and Autumn Academy in the world, and it also accommodates dozens of residences of kings, princes, generals and ministers, including five of the nine major families in the Jin Kingdom.

Weining Marquis Mansion is one of them.

In this huge capital, every wealthy mansion has its own long-standing stories, and the relationship between them is far less simple than the world imagines, but is extremely complex and complicated.

For example, everyone in Luoyang City knows that the relationship between the Qin Family Shantang and the Weining Marquis Mansion is as powerful as water and fire, and it is difficult to compatible.

This is a very strange thing.

Logically speaking, the Qin family is in charge of the financial power of the world, while the Ye family holds military and political power. The interests of the two do not conflict. Even from a certain perspective, Qin Xiaohua should be the most solid backing for Marshal Ye to survive on the front line.

But the relationship between the two families is so bad. Why?

No one knows, or even those who know, dare not make this reason public.

If I think about it carefully, the feud between the Qin family and the Ye family should have started more than ten years ago...

Of course, all this was not important to Xia Sheng, and he did not think that it was wrong for his identity as a guest guest of Shantang and the son-in-law of the Ye family. He told Bi Qingwen that he would go to the Weining Marquis Mansion, so he really went.

I didn't care about the extremely wonderful expression on Bi Qingwen's face at all.

Before this, Xia Sheng of course came to Luoyang, but that was a story from five hundred years ago. The Dajin Dynasty had not yet established its capital at that time, and Luoyang City was not an imperial city. Time passed in a blink of an eye. I never thought that Luoyang City today had become so prosperous.

Fortunately, the Weining Marquis Mansion was not difficult to find. Ning Zheng asked people all the way, leading the way in front of him, and soon took Xia Sheng and Meng Qi to the front of this heavily guarded mansion.

What is somewhat surprising is that even in this imperial city, under the feet of the emperor, the Weining Marquis Mansion used to come to protect the courtyard were actually two powerful men in the martial arts realm.

But I don’t know if the public security in this capital is not very good, or if Ye Jiang wants to show the majesty of the Thorn Army General’s Mansion to the world.

Xia Sheng took the lead and reported to the two of them, which immediately caused bursts of exclamations.

"You are Xia Sheng?"

"Who has entered into a marriage contract with our lady? Xia Sheng?"

This reaction caught Xia Sheng off guard. He didn't expect that his engagement with Ye Xiao'e would be no longer a secret even in the entire Luoyang City, let alone in the Weining Marquis' Mansion.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng suddenly realized that it was because of this incident that Shantang became so indifferent to him?

As soon as Xia Sheng was in a state of silence, the two martial artists guarding the door did not dare to ask any more questions. One of them immediately went in to report, and the other respectfully invited Xia Sheng and his group.

Not long after, the news that the youngest son-in-law of the Weining Marquis' Mansion came to worship the door spread throughout the general's mansion. I think it will spread throughout the Luoyang City in another hour.

This situation was completely beyond Xia Sheng's expectations, but what he didn't expect was that he, Ning Zheng and Meng Qi had been sitting in the hall for almost half an hour, and the tea in the cup had been changed several times. Apart from looking at his maids and servants outside the door, let alone Ye Xiao'e and Mrs. Ye, he didn't even see a single person in charge.

The three of them sat in the room with a little awkwardness for another quarter of an hour. Meng Qi finally couldn't help it. He immediately held the Sufeng Blade in his sleeve in his hand, and asked Xia Sheng with murderous intention: "My benefactor, do you want me..."

Xia Sheng rolled his eyes unceremoniously and immediately interrupted him: "Today, you are not allowed to kill people, do things, and you are not allowed to speak later!"

Meng Qi curled his lips, and the boss sat back reluctantly, but the eyes of the group of maids outside the door made people feel cold and they dared not look directly at them.

It’s not known whether Meng Qi’s aura was too terrifying. Not long after, the figures of the maids and servants actually disappeared from outside the door. After a while, except for Wang Er who stayed to pour tea and add water to Xia Sheng and others, there was no one outside the front court of the hall. I don’t know why the atmosphere suddenly became a solemn smell.

Ning Zheng lowered his voice and said to Xia Sheng's ear: "Sir, something is wrong."

In response, Xia Sheng just shook his head: "Since he came, he would be at ease. Since he didn't drive us out, he would not have malice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rain outside the house suddenly stopped, and a slight sound of stepping on water came from a distance. Although he had not seen anyone, the sound of footsteps only sounded from now on, and there was a certain elegance.

The next moment, a graceful and luxurious woman, supported by her maid, walked slowly into the sight of the three of them, with calmness written on her face and extremely calm steps.

Although the wind and frost of time left cruel traces on Mrs. Ye's face, it is still not difficult to see that when she was young, she must have been a beautiful woman with a glorious beauty.

It is said that Mrs. Ye was also a person with extremely violent personality back then. Many of the princes and nobles who pursued her with Marshal Ye were beaten out by her.

But I never thought that in a flash, twenty or thirty years have passed, and now Mrs. Ye has become a mother-in-law style of a wealthy family.

Although this was the first time Xia Sheng saw Mrs. Ye, he still recognized the other party's identity as soon as possible, immediately stood up from the chair, and began to give a junior gift.

Mrs. Ye raised her hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to be too polite. She sat down slowly on the main seat, took the hot tea brought by the maid, drank a light sip, and then smiled and said, "Are you Xia Sheng?"

Xia Sheng nodded: "That's right."

As he said that, Xia Sheng reached into his arms, carefully took out the wedding book and handed it forward.

Mrs. Ye took the wedding letter and did not read it. Instead, she gently held it under her palm and continued to greet her, "When did you come to the capital? Is the journey still going smoothly?"

Xia Sheng hesitated for a moment and only answered the previous question: "I just arrived this morning."

"Well..." Mrs. Ye nodded and said with concern like an elder: "Have you found a place to live? Since you are here, I will stay for a few more days. I will ask my servants to find a garden for you to live in first, and I will take you to see Baima Temple tomorrow. Unfortunately, the rainy days are going on these two days, otherwise it would be nice to go to Qingjiang Bridge to appreciate the flowers."

Xia Sheng smiled: "Madam, this time I came not mainly to visit scenic spots and scenery, but to..."

Before Xia Sheng finished speaking, Mrs. Ye's face suddenly became cold and she interrupted: "I know that this engagement was made by my husband and Lord Lingzun, saying that it was to repay the life-saving grace of the Thorn Army in the past."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng was stunned. He didn't know why Mrs. Ye suddenly mentioned this matter, so he could only shake his head and say, "My father has never told me about this."

Mrs. Ye raised her hand gently and said coldly: "No, you didn't understand what I mean. I want to say that this marriage was decided by my husband, but I, including this Weining Marquis Mansion, do not agree."

After saying that, Mrs. Ye picked up the wedding book on the table and tore it to pieces. When she came to her end, she didn't read a single word.

This scene made Ning Zheng and Meng Qi shocked. Ning Zheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Madam..."

However, Ning Zheng's words had just begun, but Xia Sheng stopped them. Turning to look, a very bright smile suddenly appeared on Xia Sheng's face.

"Madam Ye, it is not important for me to marry your eldest lady from the Marquis of Weining. To you, I am just a local bun that came out of a mountain town. How can I be worthy of Marshal Ye's daughter? So I can understand if you want to regret the marriage."

Xia Sheng's response surprised Mrs. Ye, and she couldn't help but nodded with relief: "It's good that you can understand."

But then, Xia Sheng shook his head: "No, Mrs. Ye, you didn't understand what I mean. I mean, I want to say, I don't care about this marriage, but I promised my father that he would marry Xiao E. I can understand your approach, but I will not agree. So, regardless of whether there is this marriage letter or not, I will marry your eldest lady of the Ye family!"
