Shengjing Noble

Chapter 222 Ignorant Villain

In his eyes at this moment, getting engaged and getting the dowry is more important than anything else!

Fang Tao refused to give up and threatened to tear those men's mouths apart.

After all, these words were facts. If she didn't teach them a lesson, they would spread them everywhere, and sooner or later ruin her good deeds, wouldn't it?

"No, we can't chase them away! These people are spreading rumors and causing trouble. They should be arrested and thrown into jail immediately!"

Even if Su Yongcheng was a sixth-rank official, he had no right to arrest people at will. Moreover, with so many people watching, how dare he disobey the law?

So he tried to dissuade her, but Fang Tao just wouldn't give in.

Fang Qingqing saw this and realized that it was no use to continue pestering them like this, so she decided to proceed according to the plan and talk about other things after they got away with the betrothal gifts.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and said loudly: "Mother, it's okay, let them talk about it. We are upright and have nothing to fear."

"That's right! Wasn't it our Fang family who caused Su Shengming's family to fall into poverty? I raised my daughter with great difficulty, I can't bear to let her marry that loser!"

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it.

"Who says it's not true? If she were my daughter, I would also try my best to separate the two of them!"

"He himself is not up to the task, can he blame others? He is a bastard who is not worthy of Miss Fang."

"Your family is already broke, but you still want to eat swan meat. How shameless!"

……

Everyone was talking and belittling the Lu family and Su Shengming.

Ji Yun was so angry that she almost exploded when she heard this. She said angrily, "If you want to break up, why don't you just say it? But you abandoned him at the wedding and ran to Zuixianlou to discuss marriage with Su Shengming? Isn't this just fickleness?"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.

Isn't it obvious that Fang Qingqing and Su Shenghao are cuckolding Su Shengming by doing this?

This is too bullying!

If you dislike it you can just say it clearly and break up with others before talking about marriage. How can you do such an irresponsible and shameless thing?

The adults who had just spoken for Su Yongcheng stopped talking to avoid embarrassment.

Fang Qingqing didn't know the identities of Ji Yun and Li Shian, she just thought they were dressed elegantly so she didn't dare to offend them easily.

In addition, he was not in the right, so his eyes suddenly turned red and he looked as if he had been wronged, looking very pitiful.

"Madam, I just don't want to hurt him. If I say it out loud, it would hurt his self-esteem."

Ji Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes when she said this.

How can she just talk about marriage with another man without hurting Su Shengming?

What a genius of sophistry!

Ji Yun crossed her arms and sneered, "Fang Qingqing, I will patiently ask you one last time, are you willing to give up Su Shengming and marry Su Shenghao?"

Fang Qingqing didn't even think about it, she straightened her back and replied loudly: "I volunteered."

Fang Tao also echoed loudly: "Why would he marry my daughter when his family has fallen on hard times? What's more, his mother was kicked out of the house, and he and his brothers and sisters were also expelled from the family tree. The family has no foundation and is unwanted. Whoever gets involved will be unlucky!"

Just as these words fell, a gong sounded in the distance.

Everyone was startled and looked over there.

Since ancient times, those who were qualified to clear the streets of Shengjing with gongs were at least high-ranking officials of the second rank or above, and they were only allowed to do so when they were on official tours and needed to clear the way.

So, when they heard the gong, everyone was stunned. Looking from afar, they saw a bright golden carriage slowly approaching.

That huge carriage could accommodate more than a dozen people. Apart from royal relatives, who else would dare to ride in such a carriage and parade through the city?

Su Yongcheng was full of doubts, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Ruyan, which nobleman did you send the invitation to? It can't be the Prime Minister..."

How could the Su family possibly get such a high-ranking official? Even if he was a marquis, he probably couldn't invite the prime minister to the banquet in person.

After all, the prime minister of the dynasty is the queen's brother, and he holds a high position of power and prestige.

Liu Ruyan quickly shook her head: "How dare I disturb the Prime Minister... Wait!"

She suddenly thought of something and quickly leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"You...you sent an invitation to the Prince's Mansion?" Su Yongcheng was surprised.

"I asked Xin'er to send it off. I just wanted to give her a chance to meet him."

"Great! It must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He came here for Xin'er's sake. My children are such a blessing! Quickly, go and call Xin'er out. Let's welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Yes!"

The couple was extremely happy. Liu Ruyan turned around and ran inside, fearing that if she was late she would be late in welcoming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Su Yongcheng was also very excited. He kept adjusting his hair and clothes. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

This is great, having His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally attend his son's engagement party is a huge honor!

From now on, everyone knows that he has relied on the prince, so they will all rush to curry favor with him!

Everyone who heard the conversation between the couple started to discuss it in a low voice.

A few of them came up to him and started to fawn on him. Su Yongcheng's face was wrinkled with smiles, as if he could already see promotion and wealth beckoning towards him.

Only the Shangshu and his wife, who knew the inside story, watched this group of ignorant villains quietly with a look of watching the fun.

……

Glazed Pavilion.

Wenli was kneeling on the ground, sobbing quietly.

The mansion was busy today and Song Rui also went to join in the fun, so Su Lanxin finally seized the opportunity to teach Wen Li a lesson.

"Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? You dared to seduce my man, have you ever thought that you would end up like this?"

Having said that, Su Lanxin slapped him directly.

Wenli was knocked to the ground, covering her face with grief and anger: "Miss, how could you do this to me? You and Madam asked me to give you the drug!"

"Who knows if you have evil intentions and want to be Song Rui's concubine on purpose? After all, even being a first-class maid is not as comfortable as being a concubine, right?"

Su Lanxin curled her lips, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes!

In fact, she knew that it was Su Lanyin who did all this, but she failed to gain anything and ended up losing more than she gained. She couldn't blame herself for being too stupid, and she didn't want to admit that her opponent was smart.

In the end, I can only vent my anger on Wenli, this ant!

"I didn't! I really didn't have such thoughts! Young lady, you know that I have always liked Liu Cheng, how could I have the intention to seduce my son-in-law!"

"How can he, the son of a housekeeper, compare to Song Rui, who has achieved great success? Do you think I'm stupid?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Su Lanxin shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone, destroy this bitch's face for me. Let her seduce my fiancé!"

Even if she prefers His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Song Rui is her nominal fiancé after all.

Before she got married, her fiancé had already married her maid. When this news got out, she suffered countless ridicules and sarcasm.

Therefore, she must vent her anger!

The maids nearby rushed over and pressed Wenli to the ground, and stabbed her directly with the needles in their hands.

"Ah! No... Help! Miss, please spare me... Uncle, save me..."

Wenli struggled and cried desperately until the door was kicked open!
