Chapter 517 Go get two boards yourself
Chapter 517 Go get two boards yourself
Li House.
The guests in the living room were all very interested in Xiao Zhao's shouting.
Listen to what he said.
That Miss Wen who fainted really seemed to have met quite a few people.
It's better for her to faint like this.
If she were awake, how would she face the following scene?
That idle man Hu San even dragged this old lady Liu into this.
You have to know that this Mrs. Liu is one of the most famous matchmakers in this area.
She knows very well which young men and women in this area are ready for marriage.
If this old woman Liu couldn't stand the two princes' questioning and told everyone about the people Miss Wen was looking for...
This is very possible.
After all, this is the Wen family's own fault. They were too greedy and bullying.
They also don't do any research beforehand.
This Li Mansion is not the same Li Mansion as before, where they can mold it as they please.
"Mrs. Liu, is what Hu San just said true?"
The third prince beat the man who had fallen into the water without even thinking about saving face for the Wen family.
At this time, the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis was still too embarrassed to do so.
She walked to Wen Ruyue, helped her up from the ground, and let her lean on her arms.
Of course, she also knew that Wen Ruyue was pretending to be faint.
When the Crown Prince's wife heard the Third Prince asking Liu Pozi questions, she knew that the matter would not be resolved peacefully today.
"Prince Fu, Your Highness the Third Prince, Ruyue is unconscious now. Can I take her out to see a doctor?"
The wife of the Ningyuan Marquis' son held Wen Ruyue in her arms and begged the two princes.
Looking at Mr. Wen who was standing aside with a gloomy face and not saying a word.
Little Prince Fu felt that this matter had come to an end today.
With Xiao Zhao joining, the Wen family suffered a huge loss of face this time.
I think after coming to their house, they won’t dare to do anything weird again.
So the young Prince Fu waved his hand magnanimously.
"Take her back now. Today's matter ends here. From now on, all of you should take this as a warning and not be blinded by fame and fortune."
Old Master Wen bowed silently to the young Prince Fu.
Together with the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis's son, he helped Wen Ruyue, who was still unwilling to open her eyes, onto Qiu'er's back.
Qiu'er carried Wen Ruyue on her back, while Old Man Wen and his son were protecting her on the side.
The three men walked out of the Li Mansion in shame and got on the carriage back to the Wen Mansion.
And no one in the living room dared to speak at this time.
"Hu San, you performed very well today. I will ask Patriarch Li to reward you handsomely later."
Little Prince Fu said to Xiao Zhao with a smile.
Xiao Zhao was smart and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Alright, alright... hurry up and get up. Chief Li, you have to thank this Hu San very much. If it weren't for him, this matter... would still be a long way to go."
Patriarch Li has been in this living room just now.
He is now grateful to Hu San.
If it weren't for Hu San's testimony, the shameless Wen family would have blackmailed their youngest son.
So he readily agreed.
"Thank you Prince Fu for your advice. Hu San, come with me and tell me what you want."
Seeing Hu San walking out of the living room, Mrs. Liu, who had just gotten up, also wanted to follow them out.
"Mrs. Liu, did I let you go?"
The voice of the young Prince Fu sounded sinister.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again.
"I dare not, I dare not..."
She kowtowed and spoke hurriedly.
"You don't dare... I think you are very brave. Why did you come to the Li Mansion to cancel the engagement? Why don't you tell the truth?"
When Mrs. Liu saw that the Wen family had left, she no longer felt any pressure.
So she said that the Wen family looked down on her because she was a poor county magistrate, and they were afraid that she would never make it in her life.
So their family came to me and wanted to cancel the marriage.
Mrs. Liu also emphasized this.
The person who was most active in canceling the engagement in the Wen family was Wen Ruyue.
Because at that time, someone didn't know that she was already engaged and introduced a good marriage for her.
She was eager to cancel the marriage with the Li family so that she could meet the young man from that family.
Who knew that the Li family's marriage proposal was called off, so she went to see the man.
But the young master of that family did not like her.
In the following three years, Wen Ruyue continued to see him from time to time.
Unfortunately, she still hasn't found a marriage.
"Sir, it was all my fault that I was blinded by stupidity and helped the Wen family do the wrong thing."
Mrs. Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Please forgive me this time, sir. I will never do it again."
"Since you are so sincere in admitting your mistake, I will forgive you this time."
The third prince said magnanimously.
Mrs. Liu was so happy that she kowtowed again.
Then she got up and tried to walk out of the living room.
"But you aided the tyrant and helped the Wen family bully the Li family. We can't just let this go."
The third prince breathed heavily when he spoke.
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and receive twenty strokes of the cane."
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she fell to her knees again.
Look at Mrs. Liu’s face which turned pale all of a sudden.
The third prince was afraid of the twenty strokes of the cane, so he beat the old woman Liu to death.
"Forget it. Since you are already so old, I will just give you ten strokes of the cane."
Just now, Mrs. Liu heard the Third Prince tell her to go to the Ministry of Justice to receive twenty strokes of the cane.
She was nearly frightened to death.
She is so old, it is hard to say whether she will be able to come back after being beaten with twenty boards.
Now, after hearing what the third prince said again, she was exempted from ten strokes of the cane.
She was also overjoyed and walked out expressing her gratitude profusely.
As long as this incident today can help her get out of this situation.
She will continue to be the respected matchmaker Liu Pozi.
Mrs. Liu didn't know that she played an ignominious role in Wansheng's breaking off of the engagement.
Her reputation in this area is not as good as before.
After that, not only did fewer people look to her for matchmaking, but there were also fewer people looking for her to be their matchmaker.
The Wen family hated her even more because she did not speak up for them when she was in the Li Mansion.
She took so much money from the Wen family, how could the Wen family let her go?
Therefore, Liu Pozi's life thereafter can be described as one of misery and suffering.
However, this is all for later.
Now here is the huge mess that the Li family is dealing with.
After the Wen family left, Prince Fu and the Third Prince also said goodbye to me.
The fact that they can come here today is a great honor to me.
Not to mention these two, they helped me so much today.
It can be said that if it weren’t for the two of them sitting here.
Who knows what the three people from the Wen family will do next.
Because in the Great Xia Dynasty, rank and status were very important.
People with high status naturally look down on those who are one level lower than them.
Not to mention that the Li family has been doing business for generations and is just a wealthy family.
Although the Li family has people in official circles, there are no particularly outstanding figures.
Merchants had no status in the Great Xia Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Patriarch Li and others value me so much.
