First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 234 Signing the Contract

"Why aren't you here to collect debts?" Nangong Rui already knew that his father would say that.

If he hadn't been blinded by family affection, he would still be very clear-headed.

On the way here, he had already thought of various responses.

"I have sold myself to pay off my father's debts." Nangong Rui said, "Even if we don't split up the family now, I will only be able to work for others in the future. I won't be able to take care of the family."

"What?" Nangong Tian was furious when he heard this, but soon calmed down, "Who did you sell your body to?"

“What difference does it make to whom?” Nangong Rui couldn’t help but sneer, “Didn’t my parents sell me to the army for a few taels of silver? I was thrown into the mine when I was beaten almost to death. You could have bought me out for only ten taels of silver, but you didn’t do that. Sold is sold. I was stupid. You had already given up your affection for me, but I still remembered your love for me. After all, I was wrong. Now I sell myself again, still for you, Dad!”

He emphasized the word "Dad" so much that Nangong Tian's face turned blue and red. Nangong Tian's lips moved, but he still didn't utter a word.

"Oh my! They say you're an ungrateful person! It really came true!" Nangong Rui's mother, Wang, shouted from the side, "When you were born, your grandmother told you that you were an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. I didn't believe it before, but now I do!"

"Can't you raise me well?" Nangong Rui looked at Wang. "From childhood to adulthood, when have I ever worn a new dress that you made for me? When I was not even as tall as the stove, I had to stand on a stool to boil water. When I was a little older, I had to chop wood to boil water and cook. Other children could go to school to study and learn calligraphy, but I could only work in the fields and go to the mountains to find wild fruits to fill my stomach. I was never full at home. The funny thing is that the first full meal I had was in the mining area. The place where you all thought you could never get out once you entered, the place where people would be eaten! You sold me, which meant that we had severed our family ties, but I was still stupid enough to look for you after I came back from the mining area. I gave you the little silver I saved in the mining area. Over the years, you asked me to go home only because of various things, or asked me if I had received my military pay, and if I had, I would give it to you to save. Now that it has come to this, I will not ask you for my military pay. Sign it, and we will make peace."

Wang was left speechless by what Nangong Rui said.

She stared blankly at the tall young man in front of her. There was a deadly coldness between his brows.

Nangong Tian slammed the table again, "Alright! Since you said so, then don't recognize yourself as a member of the Nangong family! Where's the money? Bring me the money and I'll sign!"

"Sign first and I'll give you the money. This is not the first or second time you've lied to me. I don't believe you." Nangong Rui said coldly.

Nangong Tian was so angry that he felt his hair stand on end.

"You little brat!" He was about to hit him, but Wang stopped him. "Old man, getting the money is the most important thing."

Nangong Tian stared at his wife for a long while, then snorted heavily, "Okay! I'll sign!"

He picked up the paper and pen and quickly signed his name on the contract.

“Don’t use the last name Nangong anymore!” After signing his name, Nangong Tian angrily pressed his fingerprints, cursing, “There’s no one like you in our Nangong family!”

"Okay." Nangong Rui looked at the contract and confirmed that there were no loopholes. "I hope we won't meet again in the future."

“Where’s the money?” Seeing Nangong Rui was about to put the contract away, Nangong Tian shouted, “You want to take it away now?”

"It would be better if this contract is stamped with the official seal." Nangong Rui said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Wei Dong, who had been standing outside, walked in, took the contract from Nangong Rui's hand, and then looked at Nangong Tian with contempt. He had already heard about Nangong Rui's experience from Wei Feng.

Wei Feng was ordered to follow Nangong Rui yesterday, and he heard everything that happened to Nangong Rui.

"Who are you?" Nangong Tian didn't know Wei Dong, and when he saw him walk in, he looked angry.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I am from your son's family and I won't ask you for a broken contract." Wei Dong snorted, "As long as you go through the government and register at Nangong Rui's household registration, I will return this contract!"

According to the contract, Nangong Rui asked to leave the Nangong family's genealogy, so naturally he had to be removed from the Nangong family's household register. And since he had already sold himself to Su Jixiang, his name would be recorded under Su Jixiang's name.

Weidong didn't care whether Nangong Tian agreed or not, he took the contract and flew directly onto the wall.

Seeing Wei Dong's ability to do things so well, Nangong Tian couldn't even utter the curse he wanted to say.

None of them knew Wei Dong and his men. After all, they were secret guards before, and after being ordered to protect Su Jixiang, they rarely showed up in public.

As soon as Wei Dong left, the main hall of the Nangong family fell into an eerie silence.

Nangong Tian wanted to hit Nangong Rui several times. He raised his hands and put them down again, over and over again. But in the end, he still didn't have the courage to hit him.

No one knew what Wang was thinking. She just sat on the stool in a daze. As for the other female members of the family, they naturally hid in their rooms and did not dare to come out.

After a long time, Nangong Rui's elder sister stepped out bravely, "Brother, do you really not care about us? Did you know that I'm going to be broken off? Why don't you go and talk to them for me? It's not easy to find a family like that in our current situation. If I can marry into that family, it will also help the family!"

The family that the eldest sister found was a wealthy merchant family in Mangcheng. They came to ask for marriage because they wanted to get in touch with Nangong Rui.

Later, when something happened in Nangong's family, the first thing they thought of was to cancel the engagement.

After all, the Nangong family offended Wei Ling!

Besides, what they were interested in was not Nangong Rui’s sister herself, but the relationship.

Now that the relationship is over, naturally they don’t want to get married.

After all, Nangong Rui's older sister is notoriously unruly and difficult to get along with.

"If something happens at home, the engagement will be cancelled. It's better not to get married like this." Nangong Rui said calmly. "Even if you marry her reluctantly, she won't take you seriously."

“How is that possible?” Nangong Rui’s elder sister immediately screamed, “Their family is one of the richest families in Mangcheng. If this marriage is ruined, where can I find such a wealthy family again!” She doesn’t want to live the life she is living now!

You have to do everything yourself, and even wash your dirty clothes!

What a damn day!
