Chapter 43 My marriage is my decision
At this moment, Li Yuan's heart was full of disappointment, suspicion, and even resentment towards Li Zhiyun, so that when Yang Su asked questions, he forgot to continue the performance and said angrily: "So what if it's not?"
The words of hatred were said to Yang Su, but the hatred in it was directed at Li Zhiyun.
Yang Su was not angry and continued to laugh and said, "Since it was not passed down by your Li family, then it was from Qingxuan's Secret Record?"
Li Yuan immediately woke up and cried out in his heart, but he could no longer deny it, so he could only hold on: "So what?"
"The things return to the original owner!" Yang Su continued without any yin and yang.
Li Yuan said angrily: "I told you that secret book has been lost. How can I return it to the original owner? Aren't you messing around?"
Yang Su shook his head and said, "Duke Tang, this is your fault. The Qingxuan Secret Record is in your pocket at this moment. Do you think everyone can't see the square traces in your mind?"
Although the secrets of this era are no longer bamboo strips and bamboo slips as the writing carrier, the Caihou paper that has been used in the Han Dynasty is still rough and thick, so a secret book is also quite large, and its size is no less than the fantasy purchased by later migrant workers' security guards.
Of course, it is impossible to keep such a secret book in your arms without revealing its traces, and its edges will always be highlighted a little.
In fact, as early as when Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to lead Yin Fengji to the big study, Yang Su had already begun to quietly observe the outlines of Li Yuan and Li Zhiyun, because he knew that Li Shimin was just a trick to cover up. He learned from the Green Fan that this secret record of Qingxuan could only exist in the Duke of Tang's Mansion, either on Li Zhiyun or on Li Yuan.
Li Zhiyun was as thin as a hair, and was beaten by Hongfu, showing that there were no extra items on her body. After looking at Li Yuan for a long time, he found that Li Yuan had the shape of a book in his arms. What would it be if it wasn't Qingxuan Secret Record?
When Li Yuan was told by Yang Su, he deeply regretted that he shouldn't have brought this secret book with him, but there was no way to hide it now. He knew that if he refused to admit it, although the other party would not come to search, he just needed to ask himself to take out the book in his arms to identify it, and he would not be able to refuse.
Just when he was embarrassed, Li Zhiyun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Grandpa Yue Guo, you have something unknown to you. I want to ask you for advice, don't you know?"
Yang Su personally has no rift towards Li Yuan and his son. All his actions are to help his small group obtain the Qingxuan Secret Record. At this moment, seeing Li Zhiyun inquire with courtesy, he pretended to be kind and said, "Zhiyun, if you have something to do, it's okay to talk."
Li Zhiyun said: "I want to ask Grandpa Yue, Grandpa, you and Grandpa Kuangshan, to be fair and give me some comments."
When Yang Lin heard this, he temporarily threw away his displeasure and asked, "What's the reason for comment? You said."
Yang Su was also nodding and signaling Li Zhiyun to continue.
Li Zhiyun said: "Just just now, the boy heard what Yin Taifu said that the reason for breaking the engagement was because his daughter wanted to marry a man with high martial arts skills, but he also said that Li Zhiyun did not know how to break the engagement, so he wanted to break the engagement. If the boy remembers correctly, he said that, right?"
"That's right! That's what Tai Fu Yin said, so what?" Yang Lin nodded and gave the proof.
Yang Su secretly shouted "Not good" and thought to himself that this kid was probably going to turn the tables, but on the surface, he could not deny that what Li Zhiyun said was true.
Li Zhiyun said: "Since that's the case, everyone has seen it now. I, Li Zhiyun, possesses martial arts. I just don't know how much my minor skills are compared to the eldest lady of the Yin family? Is it worse than her? Please give me a judgment on the supporter, Duke Yue, the two grandfathers."
"Well..." Yang Lin was speechless for a moment and turned his head to look at Master Yin Shi, which means that your daughter's martial arts has reached, I don't know about this.
Yang Su did not answer this question immediately, but instead asked tentatively: "Zhiyun, what do you mean...If the girl of the Yin family has lower martial arts skills than you, what should she do?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "Grandpa Yue is really a rebirth of Zhuge. Of course, the boy can't hide his thoughts from you. That's right, if the girl of the Yin family is not as good as the boy, then the reason for breaking off the engagement proposed by the Yin Taifu just now does not exist! Grandpa Yue, do you think so?"
"This..." Yang Su couldn't answer. He knew that Li Zhiyun's purpose was to fight against Yinshi Master now, and his purpose was naturally to preserve Qingxuan Secret Record. As long as the previous break-up was invalid, Yin Fengji would still be his fiancée, and then Qingxuan Secret Record, as a dowry, must be kept in the Duke Tang's mansion.
How did he answer this? If he reasoned impartially, it would be like helping Li Yuan and his son speak.
So he frowned and said, "It seems inappropriate to do this? After all, this marriage is all about the orders of the matchmaker by his parents. Before, the Yin Taifu proposed to break the engagement, and Ling Zun also agreed in person. Now if you regret it... this is probably inconsistent."
When he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Yang Lin to show respect. Yang Lin immediately stroked his beard and nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really inconsistent."
Li Zhiyun was not in a hurry and said calmly: "As far as the boy knows, the parents are indeed the decision to engage in marriage, but the divorce of the wife may have to be decided by both the husband and wife themselves? For example, a couple lived to the age of two grandpas, and suddenly their relationship was in disagreement. Do they have to go to the grave to dig out their parents to preside over the divorce?"
"this……"
Yang Lin and Yang Sushuang were confused on the spot and were speechless. Both thought: This guy seemed to make sense.
In fact, in this era, there was never a saying that husbands had divorced their wives and concubines had divorced their husbands. And husbands did not need to ask the high court to make decisions, and they could do it based on their own wishes.
But it is obvious that Li Zhiyun and Yin Fengji have not gotten married yet. They only met once until today, and it seems to be different from the couple after marriage. But if you want to use this difference to prove that what Li Zhiyun said is wrong, it seems that it is not sufficient.
How can this be judged?
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to make a family matter. Throughout history, this kind of emotional dispute between couples has stumped many Master Qingtian. Yang Lin and Yang Su are both famous generals of the dynasty, and not senior judges like Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, how can they make Li Zhiyun's difficult case?
At this moment, Yang Lin could only look at Master Yin and asked, "Tao Fu Yin, I don't know how good Ling Yan's martial arts are? Should she come out and compete with Li Zhiyun?"
Everyone knew that Yang Lin was talking about the scene. Everyone could see how powerful Li Zhiyun’s martial arts are. If he said that he was the best master of the Great Sui Dynasty, it would definitely be far behind. But if he had the right daughter of Yinshi Master, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, then what else could he have? He would definitely win easily.
Therefore, people think that Yinshi Master must be willing to give up the disadvantage for his daughter. All he can do is to insist that Li Yuan has agreed to break off the engagement, or he needs to find out other mistakes in Li Zhiyun, such as misconduct, etc. Most people know about the scandals Li Zhiyun has done recently.
But even this may not be feasible, because Master Yinshi did not use this as a reason when he first proposed to break the engagement. If he proposed it again now, he would be suspected of forcibly breaking the engagement. That would be equivalent to announcing to everyone that Master Yinshi came to ask for the Qingxuan Secret Record.
Everyone thought of this and looked at the Yinshi Master who had been sitting upright as he was as deep as water. However, the Yinshi Master's mouth slightly moved downward and said with a smile: "Since the young master of the Li family wants to give advice to the little girl two moves, if the little girl doesn't come to accompany her, wouldn't she missed the opportunity to prove her martial arts?"
