Chapter 689 The Young Lady Doesn’t Want to Marry Again 20
The Feng family has realized that they may have been plotted.
So Mrs. Feng began to peel off the cocoon.
All the servants who had said good things about Zheng Qinqin and Zheng Xiucai and who had been sent out to inquire about Zheng Qinqin's character were all brought to her for trial.
Soon, she found out about the servant in her family who was a cousin to the Zheng family.
After some questioning, the slave admitted that she had indeed been instructed to reveal some of the master's whereabouts, collected money from the Zheng family, and spread some of Zheng Qinqin's good deeds...
The Feng family was furious.
He directly attacked the slave.
The servant quickly admitted that the so-called life-saving favor of the Feng family was indeed planned by the Zheng family!
Ji Wenqing's affair was also a smear campaign against the Zheng family...
The Feng family almost went crazy.
They were actually tricked by a poor man. Is this ridiculous?
They also believed that what happened to their son that night was a plot by Zheng Qinqin. It was also the Zheng family’s fault that it was spread out!
The Feng family here was furious, and over there Zheng Xiucai came to visit again.
Not only did he want to see him, he also wanted something.
Please help.
The Feng family naturally refused.
But Zheng Xiucai retreated to the next best thing and expressed that he wanted to borrow some money. Not much, just one hundred taels is enough.
Mrs. Feng was so angry that she couldn't beat her out with sticks.
Scoundrel! She won't give a single copper! Moreover, the Zheng family was a scourge, so she had to think of a way to deal with it once and for all.
But Mrs. Feng didn't expect that Zheng Xiucai would take the lead.
Zheng Xiucai was driven away and resorted to a cruel trick.
He knocked himself on the stone slab, his forehead and arms were cut, and his face and hands were covered in blood. Then he rolled around in front of the Zheng family gate.
Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Zheng Xiucai's method is exactly the same as the plot in which Zheng Qinqin wrongly accuses Ji Wenqing of beating someone.
"The Feng family defiled my daughter, took advantage of it, and then canceled the engagement. They were afraid that I would expose their scandal and even beat me. I beg you to make a decision!"
His shouting immediately attracted onlookers.
Is there anyone in the entire county who hasn't heard the joke about Feng Er and Zheng Qinqin? Now it seems that it is actually true! For a moment, people from three circles inside and three outside surrounded the door of Feng's house.
"My daughter is well-educated and sensible. Now her reputation has been ruined, but the Feng family still refuses to take responsibility. Please help me make the decision!"
Due to Zheng Xiucai's trouble, the Feng family's face was once again disgraced.
The Feng family is located in a wealthy area facing the street. There are many people coming and going around, most of them are respectable people. How can they afford to disgrace this person?
Zheng Xiucai finally got his wish and was "invited" into the Feng family.
This time, he said, he wanted his daughter to marry grandly.
marry?
The head of the Feng family finally came forward.
With a full thirty servants armed with sticks.
Zheng Xiucai immediately changed his face and cried and begged.
The head of the Feng family slapped him out and grabbed Zheng Xiucai's front:
"Either forget what happened that night, or my family will report to the official now, or we will give Zheng Qinqin a concubine. If you nod, we will send it to you tomorrow. My family will also follow the etiquette. You have to think about it yourself!"
The future of the Zheng family is hopeless, and now they just want to make money. Since they were so determined to send their daughter in, he would give them a chance.
"If you still dare to continue to make trouble and ruin the reputation of our Feng family, then our Feng family has many ways to let you go in to accompany your son! By then it will be too late for you to regret it! If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
Later, Zheng Xiucai was "sent" back home by the Feng family.
As soon as they entered Zheng's house, the Feng family locked the door.
It only took them less than a hundred breaths to beat all the poultry of the Zheng family to death with sticks, which was a lesson to the Zheng family.
Seeing the chickens and ducks bleeding all over the ground, the Zheng family was frightened and gathered around, huddled in a corner, trembling.
"If you don't obey me again, you will be the ones who die next time!"
After some threats, the Feng family quickly left...
The Zheng family members hugged each other and cried bitterly.
However, it took them less than a quarter of an hour to make their decision.
A concubine is a concubine, even if she is a concubine, she must agree!
This is what Zheng Qinqin means and what Zheng Xiucai means.
The whole family's reputation was gone, and Zheng Qinqin knew that the best she could do in the future would be to marry a farmer in the village, so this might be her last chance to enter a high school.
Feng Er now has no wife or concubines. If she wants to enter the house, she will be the first person in the backyard. She had the brains and the strategy first. Even if she couldn't conquer Feng Er's heart in the future, even if she couldn't get the right to the backyard, she would at least retain her wealth.
Zheng Xiucai felt that her daughter was almost ruined anyway, so instead of getting married, she might as well become a concubine in exchange for a better price. Otherwise, the family will have to support another mouth, and a dowry will be required in the future, which will be even more difficult. It’s better to just go to the Feng family.
If my daughter works hard, maybe she can succeed? He wanted to continue the scientific examination, and he had to ask the Feng family for help. His daughter relies on the Feng family. If the Ji family dares to play tricks in the future, he can use the Feng family's name to suppress her, right? It’s still important to find a backer!
So that night, Zheng Qinqin packed her things.
The next day, Zheng Xiucai went to Feng's house in person to inform him.
In the evening, the Feng family brought a pink sedan to pick them up.
Accompanying him was not even a housekeeper, only a mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law brought a tray covered with red cloth, which was regarded as a passing gift to the Zheng family.
When he opened it, he saw that the Zheng family was grinding their back molars.
The tray looks quite small.
But the red cloth was opened, and there were three pieces of cloth inside. At first glance, it looked like it had been taken out of some warehouse. The color was dull, the pattern was old-fashioned, the fabric was sparse, and there was a slight musty smell. I didn't know it was trash that had been stored for decades.
There is only one gold article, a gold bracelet. The thin one probably weighs less than two cents.
A set of silver jewelry costs about two taels of silver.
In addition, it is money.
One ingot of silver, twelve taels.
Plus two slings of copper coins.
The above are all the gifts given by the Feng family when Zheng Qinqin came to visit.
On this point, the Zheng family was obviously dissatisfied.
But the mother-in-law said coldly: "This money is enough to find someone to buy two innocent girls. Just be satisfied. Our second master is a suave man, and many wealthy officials are eager to pay a dowry and send their daughters into my house. I want it." Speaking of which, you’ve made a lot of money!”
Zheng Xiucai was so angry that his mouth twisted.
The mother-in-law opened the sedan door and said, "Are you going to get in? If not, we will leave after this auspicious time!" The mother-in-law glanced at the carefully dressed Zheng Qinqin and felt it was funny.
It was obvious that the fool had gone out of his way to make up his face. He spent at least two hours putting on the makeup, and the fragrance on his body was also carefully prepared. It seemed that he wanted to win the second master's heart in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that the second master went hunting with his friends early in the morning. He said he would not return until the day after tomorrow.
No matter how beautifully she dresses, she still has to sleep in a cold bed! …
Zheng Qinqin started to say goodbye to her parents, but suddenly heard a "congratulations" coming from outside.
The faces of the Zheng family members all turned stiff as they cried. That voice...need to be said?
The God of Plague is here again!
