525 Acknowledged It
Zhang Shuangshuang looked at Li Jing calmly. “I didn’t say that I won’t break off the engagement. I’m just asking for justice. Young Master Li, you can break off the engagement at will, but I can’t ask for justice. Is that what you mean?”
What Li Jing meant was that when he said that he wanted to break off the engagement, she should obediently agree and not resist. It was wrong for her to raise an objection to it.
Not only Li Jing, but Li Dongxian, Madam Li, Zhang Heng, and You Xuerou also thought so.
Zhang Shuangshuang found it really funny. She was glad that she had finally taken this step. If not for that, she would not have known that they all took her as a total pushover.
Even if Li Jing thought so, he could not say it out loud.
Li Yuntian frowned. “Second Miss, I will treat you well. You really don’t have to do this.”
She should be thankful that he didn’t dislike her. How could she have the cheek to refuse him?
Li Yuntian knew that his reputation was not good, but it wasn’t to the point where a woman like Zhang Shuangshuang could despise him.
He couldn’t take this humiliation lying down.
Wei Shilai looked at Li Dongxian and his wife. “Lord Li, Madam Li, do you recognize this marriage contract?”
Li Dongxian’s expression was cold. “After so many years, I can’t remember it clearly. Lord Wei, can I take a closer look at the marriage contract?”
Wei Shilai nodded and asked his assistant to pass it down.
Li Dongxian looked at the marriage contract solemnly. Back then, he signed this marriage contract because he had a request. But now, not only was there no benefit in marrying Zhang Shuangshuang, but he would also become a joke.
Therefore, he could not acknowledge this marriage contract, no matter what.
Li Dongxian looked at Li Yuntian. Li Yuntian understood and leaned forward. “What marriage contract? Let me take a look too.”
As he spoke, he snatched the marriage contract from Li Dongxian.
He quickly stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it in two bites.
Wei Shilai frowned.
Li Yuntian said shamelessly, “What marriage contract? Where is the marriage contract?”
Li Dongxian’s expression darkened. “I didn’t see it clearly just now, but my wife and I are not fools. We definitely won’t agree to such an unfair marriage contract.”
Madam Li also repeated brazenly. “Yes.”
Zhang Heng’s expression was dark and cold as he said, “I don’t know anything about the marriage contract that Magistrate Wei mentioned just now. If there really is such a marriage contract, it’s impossible for me not to know.”
Zhang Shuangshuang was stunned to see the marriage contract being swallowed by Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian had taken shamelessness to a new level. “I’m sorry. I have a strange habit. When I see paper, I can’t help but eat it. I didn’t even read the contents of the marriage contract clearly. Second Miss should still have a copy of this marriage contract, right?”
Zhang Shuangshuang said calmly, “No, there’s only one.”
Li Yuntian smiled smugly.
Wei Shilai heaved a sigh of relief. “Young Master Li swallowed the marriage contract, and Lord Li and Madam Li refused to acknowledge it. Then, there’s only one way to solve this case.”
Li Dongxian frowned.
Wei Shilai said calmly, “Lord Li, you should know that you are at Xuanyi Department, right?”
Li Dongxian’s face darkened.
Su Yanyu couldn’t help but clap his hands. He glanced at Zhang Shuangshuang. She didn’t even cry and looked like a different person. Not bad, not bad!
Su Yanyu took a step forward. “Magistrate Wei is right. There’s another way to solve this case, and that’s mind-reading! In this world, there are psychics who can see through people and subdue demons.
However, there’s another kind of person in the world, and that is the True Buddha who controls everything in the world. She sees what you see and knows what you think. She can predict the future and turn back time.”
“Miss Liu is the True Buddha. It doesn’t matter if you swallowed the marriage contract.”
Su Yanyu felt that his flattery was smooth. After saying that, he smiled at Liu Sanniang.
Li Yuntian looked at Su Yanyu and his expression changed. “That’s impossible!”
How could there be such a person?
The name of Miss Liu had already spread throughout the capital. Li Dongxian and Madam Li’s expressions changed drastically.
Zhang Heng insisted. “It’s impossible for such a person to exist in this world.”
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and said respectfully, “Miss Liu, I’ll have to trouble you again.”
He knew that there was no need to explain because Liu Sanniang would show it to them.
Li Dongxian and Madam Li looked at each other.
Li Dongxian frowned and said, “It was my son’s fault just now. I remember now. There is indeed a marriage contract. It’s been too long and I don’t remember it. We’re willing to cancel the engagement according to the content of the marriage contract.”
Li Dongxian did not want to go against Liu Sanniang. Even Yuan Hui had been dealt with effectively by her, let alone ordinary people like them.
Madam Li lowered her head. She was really embarrassed on this day.
Li Jing glanced at Liu Sanniang and frowned. He remembered that a month ago, in the palace, Liu Sanniang stood up for Zhang Shuangshuang.
Zhang Shuangshuang looked at Liu Sanniang gratefully. She was worried for a moment when the marriage contract was swallowed, but she quickly composed herself.
Wei Shilai said calmly, “Since Lord Li acknowledges this marriage contract, it’ll be easy.”
What Zhang Shuangshuang wanted was to break off the engagement justly.
Zhang Heng gritted his teeth. “Unfilial daughter, I’m going to chase you out of the Zhang family. You’re no longer my daughter.”
You Xuerou frowned and pulled Zhang Heng.
Zhang Shuangshuang looked up at Zhang Heng. “This is the government office. Why are you shouting? Don’t worry. I won’t take anything from you.”
However, she would take everything that her mother left for her.
You Xuerou panicked. “Master, Master…”
...
Zhang Heng did not listen at all and said angrily, “Well then, so be it.”
Zhang Shuangshuang’s disobedience provoked Zhang Heng. He wanted to cut ties with this unfilial daughter immediately and let her have a taste of the suffering in poverty.
Zhang Heng said to Wei Shilai, “Magistrate Wei, please be a witness.”
Zhang Shuangshuang kowtowed. “I’m willing to cut ties with my father. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!”
Wei Shilai nodded and his subordinates immediately went to prepare a pen and paper.
You Xuerou could not stop Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng didn’t care about anything else. He took the pen and wrote a letter of severance before leaving his fingerprint on it.
Zhang Shuangshuang also wrote her name and left her fingerprint.
Wei Shilai looked at the letter. Li Dongxian and Madam Li were very cooperative. The case was quickly closed. The Zhang family and the Li family turned to leave, and so did the commoners.
Liu Sanniang walked to Zhang Shuangshuang’s side and helped her up. “Congratulations.”
