Chapter 509: The Elder of the Clan Got a Slap
Li House.
The elder of the Li clan was pointed at and yelled at by the girl Qiu'er.
He almost laughed out of anger.
"You little girl, you really don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. Even if the king of heaven came today, it would be only natural for me to ask him for the post."
He looked at Wen Ruyue.
"I wonder if this lady thinks what I said is right?"
Wen Ruyue gave Qiu'er a fake glare.
"Qiu'er, you shouldn't be so rude in front of your elders."
After talking about Qiu'er, she smiled at the elder of the Li clan again.
"I am the fiancée of Mr. Li, your family's young master. I came here today to attend his welcoming banquet."
"fiancée?"
The elder of the Li clan screamed.
"I have a fiancée, how come no one in our house knows about it?"
The scream of the Li clan elder successfully attracted the neighbors who were standing at the door of their house to watch the fun.
And those idle people who were watching the excitement not far away were also attracted over.
Not to mention the guests who just arrived.
They all chose not to go in, but instead stood aside and watched the fun.
"My marriage to your family's Mr. Li was arranged when he went to the south to serve as a county magistrate."
Wen Ruyue was eager for the Li clan elder to ask her this.
She now publicly revealed that she was the late-born fiancée.
There are so many people watching here now, so the old man wouldn't dare to stop her.
So what she said was polite, making people feel that she was very credible.
"Old man, this young lady is an honored guest in your house. How can you be so indifferent and not let her in?"
There was an idle guy who started to make a fuss.
"You may not know that my family did have a marriage arranged before my son was born."
The Li clan elder bowed to everyone.
"But the young lady of that family despises us for being born in the countryside in the south and saying that we will never make a name for ourselves."
He looked at Wen Ruyue.
"So three years ago, without our knowledge, the young lady's family sent someone with a matchmaker to return all the items that had been betrothed to our family."
After hearing the words of the Li clan elder, there was silence outside the door for a moment.
Even those idlers who were stirring up trouble shut their mouths and dared not say anything.
The elder Li continued his efforts.
"The surname of the man who broke off the engagement with our young master is Wen. May I know what is the surname of this young lady?"
Wen Ruyue was speechless when asked by the elder of the Li clan.
Can she say now that she is the young lady of the Wen family who broke off the engagement?
"I am Li Wansheng's fiancée. He and his mother are very clear about this. Please move aside and let us in."
Wen Ruyue was smart enough not to say who she was.
She just emphasized that she was the late-born fiancée.
She is going in now to meet me and welcome me.
"After that marriage proposal was called off, my young master has not discussed marriage again."
The Li clan elder is not someone who can be easily fooled.
His most important task today was to prevent this shameless young lady from entering the house.
He couldn't let this person in and ruin their family's future.
Didn’t you see that two princes came just now?
The youngest child in their family has a bright future.
"Our young lady has already said that she is the fiancée of Li Wansheng. Why do you have to stop us from entering, old man?"
Qiu'er is also a hot-tempered person, and what she says is not polite at all.
Wen Ruyue has a delicate name, but she is a very unforgiving person.
When had she ever been so wronged?
So at her signal, Qiu'er started to get angry at the elder of the Li clan.
The old man from the Li clan was very experienced and could see the quarrel between the two of them.
"If this lady doesn't tell you which mansion you are from, then you really won't be able to enter the gate of our Li Mansion today."
The elder of the Li clan stood in the middle of the gate.
"You all, please judge for yourself. If a few more people come to pretend to be our young master's fiancée, will our young master's reputation still be preserved?"
Faced with the sarcasm of the Li clan elder, Wen Ruyue blushed with anger.
The old man in the Li Mansion was determined not to let her in today.
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance.
Everyone saw another carriage coming from not far away.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Li's mansion.
Old Master Wen and Wen Ruyue's father walked out of the carriage.
The two of them walked straight up to Wen Ruyue.
"Kid, didn't you come here early? Why haven't you gone in yet?"
Old Master Wen looked at Wen Ruyue lovingly and asked.
"Grandfather, this old man is blocking the door and won't let me in."
Wen Ruyue complained to her grandfather feeling aggrieved.
"How could this be possible?"
Mr. Wen was furious.
"You are the legitimate daughter of my Wen family and the fiancée of Li Wansheng. How dare they stop you?"
He got furious at the Li clan leader who was blocking the gate.
"You blind dog, why don't you let us in quickly? You are delaying our business. I will let your tribe leader peel off your skin."
The Li clan elder is usually eloquent and has a sharp tongue.
But when it comes down to it, he was just an ordinary citizen and had never seen a real big battle.
Old Master Wen has been immersed in the court for decades.
The aura that emanated from his body was not something that the Li clan elders could withstand.
"I wonder which mansion this old man is from? If you don't tell me your name, I won't be able to tell you."
Elder Li suppressed his inner uneasiness and bowed to Old Man Wen.
He thought that what he said was respectful enough.
If the old man from the Wen family knew what was good for him, he would give up.
After all, he had just said it clearly that the family that broke off the engagement with their young master was the one with the surname Wen.
What kind of person is Mr. Ke Wen?
He walked forward and slapped the Li clan elder in the face without hesitation.
"You are a blind man, and you still dare to ask questions here. Why don't you go in and report quickly?"
The Li clan leader was so shocked by the slap he received that he saw stars.
At the same time, he was also furious.
This was the first time he had been slapped in the face in his entire life.
How could he put his old face aside?
The elder of the Li clan suddenly remembered that a prince was coming to their Li Mansion today.
This shameless old man actually dares to bully others like this.
The elder of the Li clan became angry and embarrassed.
He really didn't want to swallow this breath today.
He wanted to show the prince who was coming over that the people in their Li Mansion were all men of integrity.
So the elder of the Li clan suddenly stood in the middle of the gate and stopped Grandpa Wen and the other three who were about to go in.
"If you don't tell me which mansion you are from today, you will never be able to enter the gate of my Li Mansion."
The Li clan elder shouted angrily.
He no longer calls Mr. Wen "old man".
He felt that the old man did not deserve his respect.
As for Old Man Wen, he was so humiliated by what the Li clan elder said that his face turned red.
"I really want to go in today. You lowly thing, do you dare to stop me?"
To be honest, the Li clan elder really didn't dare to stop him.
He was afraid that the old man would blackmail him.
Just at this time, Patriarch Li led me out.
After I came over, I bowed respectfully to Mr. Wen.
To be honest, these three people from the Wen family didn't know me.
But this does not affect the Wen family's shrewdness.
They had already guessed it when they saw the younger generation come out to pay their respects.
This young man is most likely Li Wansheng.
Wen Ruyue was suddenly excited.
This Li Wansheng is more handsome than any other man she has ever met.
