Chapter 447: The laughingstock of the town

Chapter 447 The laughingstock of the town

"Breaking off the engagement?" Mrs. Ni was beaten so hard that stars appeared in her eyes. When she heard this, she laughed and said: "Your family still wants to cancel the engagement with my family? It would be great if my family is willing to marry your niece! Mrs. Chen, if there are some things you don't want to do, If you know, go back and ask your good niece to see what makes her so despicable and indiscreet..."

 Pap, pah, pah!

When Mrs. Chen heard that she was saying that Gu Yumei was despicable and immoral, she was completely furious. She slapped Mrs. Ni several times, straddled her, grabbed her hair and beat her: "Vicious woman, you have a dirty heart." You bitch, if you dare to say anything bad about my niece again, I will chop you up!"

Mother Ni was afraid that the seed in Ni Ruiniang's belly would not be saved, so she and Ni Shiliu protected Ni Ruiniang. When she saw Mrs. Chen beating Mrs. Ni hard, she said anxiously from the side: "Let go of my wife quickly. If you dare to hit my wife again, I will kill you." It’s time to call someone.”

"Hey, you should give me a try. There are only five servants in the whole family. Our Qin Gu Luotian family and the servants have nearly twenty people here today, and two servants are still wearing... Kung Fu, if you are not afraid of death, come together." Mrs. Chen's words scared Mrs. Ni so much that she could not speak.

Wan Lifang was hiding in the back room, his face turned pale with fright, and he cursed Gu Yumei in his heart: Bitch, how dare she ask her family to cancel the engagement? Isn't he afraid that if he tells the truth, she will be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?

As soon as Third Grandma entered the door, she saw three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. She knew that there must be more than just Ni's aunt and nephew eating here, but there should be another person, who must be Wan Lifang.

 She searched in the room for a while, but after not finding Wanli Fang, she rushed directly into the back room, grabbed Wanli Fang and dragged him out: "Little bastard, I finally found you, go out with the old lady."

Wan Lifang was angry: "Third Grandma of the Gu family, how can you be so rude? This is my mother's house, and you broke in. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Oh, you are a beast who made your cousin's belly bigger, and you are not afraid of being laughed at. Your old woman is almost buried, and you are a destitute, and you are afraid of being laughed at." The third grandma has been laughed at for most of her life because she has no son. , I also had fights with half the women in the village in my hometown. She was quite tough. In one breath, she dragged Wan Lifang out of the back room and dragged her all the way to the yard.

Ni Ruiniang knew that a lot of people had come to the Gu family today, and the group of men were waiting outside the main courtyard. When she saw that the third grandmother was dragging Wan Lifang out, she was afraid that Wan Lifang would be beaten to death, so she hurriedly shouted: "Mother Gu, what are you doing? Hurry up! Let go of my cousin!"

"Bah, little bitch, you still have time to protect Wanli Fang. Hurry up and protect your belly. If you make me angry, I'll kick the meat out of your belly." Mrs. Chen raised her head while beating Mrs. Ni. Shouting at Ni Ruiniang, Ni Ruiniang was so frightened that she did not dare to speak. She covered her stomach with her hands and shivered.

"Shrew, shrew, a bunch of uneducated things..." Ms. Ni was beaten severely, and she cried and cursed Ms. Chen and the third mistress.

 Ms. Chen ignored her at all and used his fingers together to scratch Mrs. Ni's face.

When Gu Dexing saw the third grandmother dragging Wan Lifang out of the house, he immediately rushed over and dragged Wan Lifang out of the main courtyard door with the third grandmother.

As soon as Wan Lifang left the main courtyard gate, brother Gu Dafu rushed up and punched and kicked Wan Lifang.

When Wan Xiucai arrived, what he saw was Wan Li almost being beaten to death: "Stop, stop! Gu Dafu, what do you want to do? You rushed to my house for no reason. You are simply bandits and robbers...I, I want to report you to the police!"

The Third Grandpa raised his hand to signal Gu Dafu and the others to stop. He looked at Wan Xiucai and said, "Wan Xiucai, there is a criminal law in Dachu. Once a person who has fame but unscrupulous selfishness is accused, as long as the accusation is true, he will be punished." Deprived of merit."

He pointed at Wan Lifang and said: "Your son had an affair with his cousin before he was married. He didn't say that he was innocent, but he also created a bad son. And your servants also said it personally, who was Wan Lifang's daughter during this period? In the house. Your son is having an affair with someone in your home. As the head of the family, you come to propose marriage to my Gu family even though you know this. You have committed two crimes. One is not cultivating personal ethics; the other is Marriage fraud. You said, if we go to the Yamen to sue you, can you still keep your position as a scholar?" Wan Xiucai's face turned pale. What he was most proud of in his life was that he was admitted as a scholar, and what he was most afraid of was his own. Scholars were deprived of their reputation.

But he still argued: "I don't know about Brother Fang and Ni Ruiniang. Besides, what is a fraudulent marriage? Your girl from the Gu family came to your door personally..."

"Shut up!" Gu Dafu was about to explode with anger. He rushed over, grabbed Wan Xiucai and beat him: "Old man, if you dare to slander my daughter, I will beat you to death today."

 What does it mean to have his girl come to your door? Is this what people say? His sister Mei was obviously deceived by Wan Lifang. Besides, Sister Mei has not lost her virginity and is still innocent. But when Wan Xiucai said this, those who didn't know thought that something had happened to his Sister Mei.

Wan Xiucai was severely beaten by Gu Dafu for making a mistake.

Wan Xiucai was beaten until he vomited blood. With tears streaming down his face, he pointed at Gu Dafu and said, "You are so bold. You dare to beat the current scholar... I am going to sue you until your whole family is exiled!"

Gu Dashan stood up, looked at Wan Xiucai and said: "Wan Xiucai, according to the criminal law of Dachu, if the sufferer beats someone in revenge, even if he beats the person to death, he is not guilty; if the person being beaten is a scholar, as long as the sufferer can If there is evidence to deprive him of his honor, it is no different than beating a civilian, and the person who beats him is still innocent."

These words were taught to him by An Geer last night. An Geer studied with Shang Xiucai, who taught him a lot of Dachu criminal laws.

Wan Xiucai was a scholar, and he also knew the criminal laws of Dachu. He knew that Gu Dashan was right, and he could only give up even if he was so angry that he vomited blood.

 Finally asked: “What on earth do you want to do?!”

Gu Dafu said: "Of course we have to break off the engagement. Your Wanli Fang had an affair with his cousin before we were married and had a child. He violated my daughter in this way and did not give my daughter the face she deserved as her first wife. This marriage is not something my family can do." It’s over, break off the engagement!”

Gu Dafu took out the marriage certificate from both families and the token from the Wan family, and threw them in front of Wan Xiucai: "Bring the marriage certificate to my family's token, and write a self-incrimination statement. My family will go to the Yamen to unpack the marriage certificate." ”

The two families hired a government matchmaker. When they got the marriage certificate, the two families had already signed the contract at the government office. If they wanted to cancel the engagement, they had to go to the government office again.

Wan Xiucai looked at the marriage certificate and tokens that were thrown at him. He trembled for a while and then said: "You still want to write a confession? Don't even think about it. My family won't write!"

If he writes it, the matter between Fang Geer and Ni Ruiniang will not be hidden, and his family will become the laughing stock of the whole county. Scholars in the entire county, and even the entire He'an Prefecture, will know that his surnamed Wan has no way to teach his son, his house is dirty and smelly, and he has no rules. So how can he go around with scholars in the future?
