Chapter 1204 Sudden Variables
As soon as I spoke, not only Cheng Yuankai was stunned, but also Butcher Wang and the others looked over to me inexplicably.
Only Lao Liu smiled and said nothing.
After Cheng Yuankai was stunned for a few seconds, he said angrily: "Hall Master Li, are you mocking me?"
"You are wrong!" I waved my hand and said, "Although I, Li Po, am a reckless person, I am not someone to be played with by others."
I looked directly at Cheng Yuankai and said: "I came to Banxianzhuang without any fanfare, and I didn't notify anyone in advance? How did you know that I was outside Banxianzhuang, and how did you know my purpose?"
I looked at Xia Mengying before the other party could speak: "I think this matter has something to do with Xia Mengying."
Xia Mengying's face turned pale and she said, "Li Po, are you doubting me?"
"If I doubted you, I wouldn't ask you out in the first place."
I recounted the whole process of my meeting with Xia Mengying word for word: "Master Cheng, what I said is not to prove that I am afraid of you Ban Xian Manor, but to clarify to you that I was afraid of you at the beginning.
Ban Xian Zhuang’s attitude.”
Cheng Yuankai couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, and slowed down his tone a lot: "Hall Master Li, continue."
I continued: "At that time, I told Xia Mengying that I would wait for news from her. What I waited for was an ultimatum from Banxian Village asking me to kneel down and join the family."
"I really want to know, after Xia Mengying came back, who did she mention the purpose of my trip to?"
"How did you all decide that I want to come and recognize my bride?"
Everyone turned their attention to Xia Mengying, who solemnly said: "I can swear that I only mentioned Li Po's purpose to the head of the family."
Xia Chuan was stunned: "When did you tell me?"
When Xia Mengying looked at Xia Chuan in disbelief, the latter seemed to have remembered something: "Don't be afraid! Tell me everything about your meeting with me."
Xia Mengying said: "When I met Li Po, it was the afternoon of the third of this month. Around seven o'clock that night, I met you in the living room of the master's house."
When Xia Chuan heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "What did you say? Meet me in the living room at seven o'clock? At that time, I was playing chess with Mr. Yan!"
Yan Xing was stunned: "That night, I was obviously the one discussing Taoism with Brother Cheng. When did I play chess with you?"
Xia Chuan suddenly trembled: "That night, weren't we listening to Yuxuanzhong playing chess? Your disciple Yan Bing was also watching the chess game!"
At this time, a middle-aged Confucian scholar also stood up: "Master Xia, you were playing chess alone in Tingyuxuan."
"I originally made an appointment with Senior Brother Xia to go to Ting Yu Xuan to play chess. When we saw you in Ting Yu Xuan, we didn't dare to disturb your enjoyment, so we withdrew."
Another Confucian scholar also stood up: "That's true."
Xia Chuan's face turned slightly pale: "Then who was playing chess with me until the early hours of the morning? Who was standing by my side to serve me all the time?"
At this time, someone said: "On the night of the 3rd, I saw senior Mengying sitting in the living room by herself, as if she was waiting for someone. She sat by herself for a while and then left."
Xia Mengying's expression also changed: "I didn't see the head of the family that day?"
Old Liu looked at Cheng Yuankai and said, "Master Cheng, from whom did you get the news that Li Po is going to recognize his bride?"
Cheng Yuankai turned around and said, "Cheng Li, you were the one who reported to me that Li Po had recognized his family. Where did you get the news?"
Cheng Li also looked confused: "Where did I get the news? Yes! Who told me that Li Po was going to recognize his family?"
"I...why can't I remember?"
Yan Xing stood up suddenly: "Quick, follow me!"
Yan Xing didn't bother to say hello to Lao Liu, so he left in a hurry with a few masters.
Old Liu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, think carefully, who informed you about Li Po's news?"
The principals present either couldn't remember where they heard the news, or they saw people who shouldn't be there at all.
The more people talked, the more chaotic the situation became. Several elders from the Confucian sect stepped in to suppress the situation and brought the situation under control.
Ye Yang and I looked at each other, and the latter shook his head slightly at me, signaling me not to act rashly again.
I originally thought that the Xia family deliberately set things off for me and wanted me to conflict with the Cheng family so that they could overthrow the Cheng family. But now it seems that things are far more complicated than I thought.
Not long after, Yan Xing led people back to the living room and said solemnly: "Hall Master Li, there is something going on at Banxian Manor today. Please go back and wait for news."
"We will give the hall master an answer as soon as possible."
I stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."
Before I walked out of the door, I heard Xia Chuan say: "Meng Ying, during this period, you should be responsible for receiving Hall Master Li first! Don't come back for the time being."
Xia Mengying wanted to speak, but Xia Chuan stopped her with her eyes, so she could only follow me out of Banxian Village.
I stood outside the door and looked at the main gate of Banxianzhuang and said, "What's going on?"
Xia Mengying shook her head and said: "I don't know either! Li Po, can you stop asking me? I'm in a very confused mood right now. I don't know how to answer you."
