Chapter 97 Why must you marry her?

"You want to divorce?"

Fan Jian, who was in the study, had a hint of doubt on his face after hearing Fan Xian's words.

"That's right." Fan Xian nodded and said, "The first thing I have to do when I come here from Danzhou is to cancel the engagement."

Fan Jian said expressionlessly: "What's the reason?"

Fan Xian asked: "What reason do you need for this?"

"I have lived in Danzhou for more than ten years and have never even seen that girl. Why should I marry her?"

Fan Jian said: "Do you know who your fiancée is?"

"I know." Fan Xian nodded and said, "Ruoruo just told me that she is the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty, and also Princess Chen."

"Since you know this, why do you still want to cancel the engagement?"

Fan Xian said, "I want to cancel the engagement because I know her identity."

"Marriage is not a trivial matter. It can't be done casually. Moreover, love affairs cannot be forced. I will not marry someone I don't like."

Fan Jian pondered for a moment, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and then poured another cup for Fan Xian.

He had expected what Fan Xian had said just now.

Because, being able to say such words is indeed in line with Fan Xian's character.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Jian picked up the teacup, drank it, and then said to Fan Xian:

"The marriage was granted by His Majesty. If you want to cancel the marriage, it depends on your own ability."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Fan Xian's face, and he asked, "Why, you don't object to me breaking off the engagement?"

Fan Jian said: "If I object, will you give up the marriage?"

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "No."

Fan Jian said: "That's right."

"Since I object, you will still respect your own ideas, so what else can I say?"

Fan Xian didn't expect that his father would have such an idea. This was completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that if his father knew about the broken engagement, he would definitely make a big fuss.

Fan Xian had already prepared himself in his heart to be scolded.

As a result, the father in front of me is so easy to talk to?

This is better, so he doesn't have to waste his breath.

However, after pondering for a moment, Fan Xian asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

"Why should I marry her?"

Logically speaking, his father was the Minister of Rites and also the Earl of Si Nan, and was also a leader in the entire Qing Kingdom.

If this is the case, then there should be no need to rely on him to marry the prime minister and cling to this thigh.

So, Fan Xian was very curious.

Why did he want to marry this Miss Lin?

Moreover, Your Majesty will certainly not grant a marriage without any reason.

Fan Jian smiled slightly and said, "Because Miss Lin's mother is the current eldest princess, and is your Majesty's biological sister."

"What!" Fan Xian was stunned.

He didn't expect that his fiancée had such an identity.

My mother is actually the current eldest princess!
Hey?
If that's the case, doesn't that mean she and Prime Minister Lin have a secret that cannot be told to each other?

Sure enough, people in the upper class like to spend their time lavishly.

At this time, Fan Jian said: "It's just that this princess has never married, but she secretly manages the royal family's business, providing an endless supply of money for the entire Qing Kingdom and the palace."

Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is."

Fan Jian said: "Her Royal Highness, the Princess, has only one daughter, and His Majesty has already decided to let the Princess's lineage manage the Royal Company."

"So, whoever marries Miss Lin and becomes the son-in-law of Her Royal Highness the Princess, will have the potential to become the future owner of the Royal Company."

Fan Xian pondered for a moment, and suddenly something occurred to him. He asked, "Is the Royal Trading Company the Ye family's business?"

As early as in Danzhou, Wu Zhu told Fan Xian about what her mother had done in the past.

One of them is that her business in Qing Kingdom is said to be very large.

It can be said that when it comes to doing business, her mother alone is more capable than a dozen men.

Fan Jian held the armrest of the chair, slowly stood up, stared at Fan Xian and said word by word: "That business originally belonged to your mother."

"So, you are just taking back what originally belonged to you!"

Fan Xian: "..."

……

After a while.

Fan Xian left the study and returned to his room.

He first checked to see if the things he was carrying showed any signs of being rummaged through.

After all, he had just arrived in Kyoto and did not fully trust the people around him.

Especially, after chatting with my so-called father just now.

After Fan Xian checked the room, he found that everything was still there, even the black box, still lying quietly on the bed as when he left.

Fan Xian sat on a stool, picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. After finding that there was no poison, he drank it with confidence.

Then he walked to the bed and lay down directly, with his body spread out in a big letter shape.

"call……"

"It seems that the matter of breaking off the engagement is not as simple as imagined."

"But I still say that I have to make my own decisions about my own life!"

Thinking of this, Fan Xian said nothing more and simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

Two days later.

In a hall of the imperial palace.

Emperor Qing was reviewing the memorial in his hand with a serious look on his face.

At this time, Gong Dian, wearing armor, walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, I have made a mistake, please punish me."

Emperor Qing raised his head slightly, looked at Gong Dian in front of him, and said, "Why, is it possible that there is still no news about the assassin?"

Gong Dian knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have searched the city for three days and still cannot find the whereabouts of those assassins."

"It was as if they had suddenly disappeared out of thin air since that day."

Emperor Qing put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Forget it. He is not an ordinary character. Since he doesn't want you to find him, it will definitely take some effort."

"Since nothing has gone wrong in the palace, let's put the matter of the assassin aside for now."

"However." When Emperor Qing said this, his expression quickly turned serious.
"This is the first time, and also the last time."

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Gong Dian nodded and said, "I understand!"

"Okay, go down." Emperor Qing waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Gong Dian bowed to Emperor Qing, then turned and left.

Emperor Qing looked up outside the palace and immediately a sneer appeared on his face.

Then he picked up the memorial again and started reading it carefully.

at the same time.

After Li Chengze came out from the bottom of the lake in Taiping Villa, he was extremely excited.

Because Bamleth's bullets were finally obtained!
