The Peng family’s gate was surrounded by people.
Today, all those people in the capital who usually have nowhere to go came to the Peng family to watch the fun.
This was much more realistic than what was performed on stage; the dead body was actually seen by the night watchman, and the common people also watched how the runners from Shuntian Prefecture took the body down.
Everyone knows the content of that letter.
This was clearly the reincarnation of an unfaithful man and an infatuated woman. Word spread like wildfire, and when people heard that someone from the woman's family was carrying a coffin to the Peng family to seek justice, the onlookers immediately moved their base and went to the Peng family.
There is nothing to see at the Wei family.
Although we want to marry into the Peng family, hasn't the marriage been concluded yet
When Peng Caichen was escorted out of the door by Tui Guan Wang, although the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture tried their best to protect him, he was still thrown a lot of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves. He was shocked and angry, and was shaking with anger.
After hearing Wang Tuiguan's explanation of the whole story, he was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his head. He jumped up and said, "Nonsense! You're making this up out of nothing!"
Where did he get his lover? Where did he get his wife
What a mess!
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture was a little troubled, but he still shook his head patiently: "If you confess honestly, it's not a big deal..."
By spending some money to shut the girl's family up, the matter was over.
As a rich young man, he has seen many such incidents and doesn't take it seriously at all.
As for the Wei family's marriage, it has nothing to do with him.
Peng Caichen felt insulted and didn't think it made sense. He stiffened his neck in anger and said, "I don't even know that woman. She committed suicide for me. That's all nonsense!"
Where did this crazy woman come from to ruin his reputation? !
He couldn't understand it at all.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture said "Oh".
These playboys have played with so many girls that it is common for them to have never even seen the faces of the girls they have had one-night stands with. This is perfectly normal.
He patiently persuaded her: "Young men are often romantic, and it is human nature for young men to admire beauty. You don't have to be too angry, Sixth Young Master. The woman hanged herself, and no one else is to blame."
He said that when he saw Peng Caichen almost jumped up in anxiety, he quickly said the second half of the sentence: "But no matter what, the impact is always bad. Your family just pretends... and this matter will be over."
Peng Caichen was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
What a mess! He said he didn't have a lover at all. Are these people stupid?!
"Who is that woman?!" He could no longer bear it: "Ask her to tell us her name!"
He suspected that someone was deliberately framing him.
What is this about suicide for love, what is this about a heartless man?! How could such a coincidence happen in the world
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture frowned and flipped open the file. After taking a look, he casually said, "She is a daughter of the Tao family who lives in Taohuawu near Hedong Academy. She just moved back from another place a year ago."
A year ago, he happened to be in Hedong Academy.
A bad thought flashed through Peng Caichen's mind, and then he was shocked by his own idea.
Could it be that someone is really plotting against them
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and urged the housekeeper who had followed him to go home and invite his parents.
Something must have happened in the meantime.
Mr. and Mrs. Peng wanted to go see their son but were unable to do so. The Peng family had been surrounded. As more and more people came to watch the commotion, the widow who had been clamoring for justice from the Peng family started crying and wanted to bang her head against the stone lions at the door of the Peng family's house.
Although she was caught in time, the widow fainted.
The crowd outside was in an uproar. The Five Cities Army came and tried to drive them away for a long time, but the people who came to watch the excitement refused to leave and accused the Peng family of being inhumane.
"It would be fine if he just got engaged to someone privately, but he actually wanted to arrange a marriage with the Zou family and marry Princess Shouning!" A woman with a mediocre appearance and a stout figure clicked her tongue twice and spat on the ground: "What a piece of shit! Isn't this bringing disaster to three girls at once?!"
Just one sentence attracted a lot of approval.
Someone immediately echoed in a sarcastic tone: "That's right, that's not how you do things. How sinister and vicious. Now they've really ruined the life of a good girl. What a sin! The family is still a widow. If this girl dies, what hope will she have in the future?"
That’s right. The widow of the Tao family fainted from crying again, and everyone shook their heads and sighed with sympathy.
This Peng family is really a piece of shit.
The Wei family is really something. Such a noble marquisate has to deal with a family like this. What will happen if you marry into such a family in the future
Master Peng was almost going crazy with anger.
This was the first time in all these years that he felt so helpless when faced with such a situation.
Things were simply out of his control.
Originally this wouldn't be a big deal - but the problem now is that there are so many people gathered outside to watch the excitement that I heard that even horse-drawn carriages couldn't pass through and were completely blocked.
In addition, their in-laws and close friends in the capital sent people to inquire about what had happened.
He Chengyu was originally an old-fashioned person. Now that he has seen such a big commotion, his temper will probably get even worse. By then, the reputation of the Peng family... the good reputation they have painstakingly maintained for so many years...
Master Peng's veins were throbbing with rage. Seeing that Madam Peng was still trying to object, he coldly scolded her, "You are more likely to cause trouble than to help. Shut up! If you continue to make trouble, our family will be ruined by a woman like you!"
He immediately asked someone to call the widow in.
Mrs. Peng was so furious after being scolded, and by welcoming the person in, she was admitting that Peng Caichen really had an affair with that girl from the Tao family, which completely ruined her son's reputation. She fainted in anger.
Peng Lingwei had heard the rumors a long time ago. After finding out the reason, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, picked up her skirt and ran to her mother's room.
Her mother actually fainted. She was so scared that tears started falling from her eyes. She threw herself into Mrs. Peng's arms and cried in panic.
Fortunately, Mrs. Peng was just angry for the moment, and she woke up quickly after being pinched on the Ren Zhong by Lu Yu and others.
Peng Lingwei cried until her voice became hoarse. She asked her mother in a hoarse voice: "What happened? Why do people outside say that my brother..."
Before she finished her words, Aunt Peng walked in quickly, walked to Madam Peng's side, and told Madam Peng in a rare panicked voice: "Madam, it's not good."
When Mrs. Peng heard the three words "not good", her heart trembled.
But there was nothing to avoid anymore. My condition was indeed getting worse, she thought to herself, and asked expressionlessly, "What's wrong now?"
