After March, the weather became hotter day by day. By April, the midday sun was hot enough to make people sweat profusely. The gatekeeper of Yongding Marquis's Mansion was originally dozing off - the hotter the weather, the more drowsy he became. The Marquis's Mansion was always deserted, so they would usually take a nap at noon.
Qingzhu, who was on duty this time, squinted his eyes as well. He was dreaming about a plate of Kung Pao Chicken when he was suddenly pushed by someone and fell off the threshold. He woke up with a start.
His beautiful dream was gone, and he couldn't help but curse his mother. But before he could get angry, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of the usually quiet gate of the Marquis' Mansion, looking at him with a common hatred for the enemy.
He was startled for a moment, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and crawled to his feet. He looked at them warily, not knowing what was going on for a moment.
More and more people came, and the street in front of the door was crowded like a market. Qingzhu was completely confused. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked his companions to go in and report the news.
My god, ever since the accident of the Prince of Yongding, the Yongding Marquis’ Mansion has never been so lively.
What exactly happened
But he soon found out the answer - a lady dressed in all white came out from the crowd, surrounded by several people, and then stood in front of the stone lion and shouted, "I am the wife of Zhang Tan, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, and the sister-in-law of the wife of the late prince of the Yongding Earl's Mansion! I want to see Old Madam Su! I want to see my good nephew and niece! Go in and inform them!"
As she spoke, she suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Qingzhu was stunned.
Although he was just a doorman, he was a doorman in the Earl's mansion after all, and he had met many dignitaries. He knew that these dignitaries were most concerned about their reputation and wanted to act superior to others in order to distinguish themselves from other less distinguished people.
He was sitting on the ground crying.
this... ..
Shouldn't this be the kind of shrewish women from the blacksmith's or pork seller's houses who throw tantrums on the street? !
He was so shocked, let alone the others. When they saw this situation, they all started pointing and shouting, talking at the same time, wishing they could watch a big show right away.
After all, such opportunities don't always come along.
This kind of high-class family, tut tut tut... ..
"Madam, since you said you are a relative of this mansion, why are you still..." Someone immediately came to inquire on their own initiative. After all, not everyone can have the opportunity to talk to your ladyship.
Mrs. Zhang cried and wiped her tears.
She really hated the Su family.
If the Su family hadn't been so ignorant and had let Xiao Cui expose what happened back then, how could Ling Hui have become so miserable now!
They are all from the Su family!
Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she beat her chest and cursed: "Don't mention it! Everyone, come and help me judge this so-called relative of ours!"
She cried out as she did so, her voice shaking the heavens: "We are all relatives, and we are their uncles, but they are so heartless and not human! They forced my daughter to death!"
Such accusations were much more exciting than those told by the storyteller in the restaurant. There was no need for the people surrounding her to do anything. She just started to ask Mrs. Zhang what was going on.
Even the elderly and children came to join in the fun, and they couldn't wait to put their ears close to Mrs. Zhang.
Qingzhu's ears were buzzing, as if firecrackers were set off next to him. He looked at Mrs. Zhang in shock and confusion, trying to commit suicide at the door, not knowing what to do.
Soon Li Rui came hurriedly from inside and couldn't help frowning when he saw this situation.
With so many people surrounding them and Madam Zhang being so shameless, if the Marquis' Mansion tried to forcibly drive them away, they would probably incur public outrage, and then they would be unable to defend themselves.
But if we allow Mrs. Zhang to continue making such a fuss, she won't tell the truth.
Qingzhu looked at him cautiously: "Butler Li, this..."
Madam Zhang cried heartbreakingly, her tears rolling down, and her hoarse voice became sharper and sharper: "God damn it, something happened in the Bo's Mansion, and their eldest master became a cripple with a broken leg. I was thinking about my daughter and didn't want her to be delayed for the rest of her life, so I asked her to break off the engagement!"
Whenever it comes to matters like breaking off an engagement, it can generally accurately catch the attention of men, women, young and old. Everyone's interest is immediately piqued, and they look at Mrs. Zhang with great interest, hoping that she can say more.
Mrs. Zhang was furious. She cried and several servants around her immediately brought up the brazier that had been prepared long ago.
Huh!
Everyone was startled. Seeing the flames rising from the brazier, they couldn't help but step back a little, but their eyes couldn't help but light up.
Even the brazier was moved here, which shows that something really big has happened.
Otherwise, who would curse their daughter like this
This scene is really something that you may not be able to see even if you go to the theater.
The people who came to watch the fun suddenly became even more excited.
Even the neighbors nearby heard the news and couldn't help but come out to watch the fun.
Madam Zhang picked up a stack of paper money and threw it into the brazier. She watched the flames leap up high, cried loudly, and cursed more vigorously: "Su Rong! You will not die well! You wronged your cousin, you are so heartless and ungrateful! In all these years, how many times have you visited your uncle? How many times have you paid homage to your grandparents? They worked hard to raise you and treated you with all their heart, but you framed us just because we refused to marry our daughter to you because of your broken leg! You are not a human! You are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust. All your knowledge has gone to waste!"
The curses became more and more nasty, and paper money was burned here. It was really too much. Li Rui's face turned pale. He couldn't help but said loudly: "Aunt, how can you talk nonsense like this and make false accusations?!"
He has always known that the Zhang family is shameless and opportunistic, but he never expected that the Zhang family could be so shameless. This is simply confusing right and wrong!
It was clearly the Zhang family who seduced Xu Rui first and forced her to break off the engagement later. They have also been insulting Su Rong to the utmost over the years and have done things so ruthlessly. Yet, the Zhang family still has the nerve to come to the Su family's door and cry and criticize the Su family and curse Su Rong. This is simply going too far and is a slap in the face.
After he yelled like that, Madam Zhang suddenly became excited. She stood up and pointed at him and yelled, "Who the hell are you?! How dare you talk to me?!"
