To be honest, the wife of Marquis Pingjin did not want to cancel the engagement, but when you listen to the oath that the fourth Miss Wenren asked Jianshu to swear when Zhen Muyao got married, you will know what her attitude towards feelings is. That was just for a friend she had just met. Wenren Ying was her own sister, how could she let her sister be wronged? Look at Han and Wenren Ying, they didn't say it explicitly, but they tacitly agreed that there was no room for maneuver. If they, the Marquis of Pingjin, took the initiative, perhaps they could still retain some feelings between the two families. If they completely angered the Wen family because of their own evil deeds...
The Fourth Miss Wenren had done a great favor to the Marquis of Pingjin Mansion. She was still continuing her treatment, and she knew whether it was effective or not. Her husband also needed her to recover better. It could be said that now, except for the Fourth Miss Wenren, she did not trust any other doctor.
Regardless of reason or selfishness, the relationship between the two families cannot be allowed to deteriorate.
Besides, if you put yourself in her shoes, if you have a daughter who has been raised with great pampering and her fiancé is a man like her son, she would probably want to eat him alive. Wen Renying slapped him because she was furious. She is really well-educated and knows how to restrain herself.
I had originally planned to treat Wen Renying like my own daughter. All I had to do was wait until the wedding date and marry her off. But what happened next? What a curse!
Han stood up straight, "In that case, go back and find the matchmaker, return the betrothal gifts and the engagement letter in full, and take back the change." She looked at Hua Bochen again, "I know my daughter well. Even if you, Hua Bochen, like someone else, she will be upset and will vent her anger directly to you, not to irrelevant people. Since people have brains, they should think more and use them more, so as not to be easily fooled by a few words. You saw what happened between Prince Cheng and the Ming family on your father's fiftieth birthday. What was Li Ruoshui's attitude? She had few contacts with you. Was she also one of the few contacts with Prince Cheng?"
Han laughed sarcastically, "Li Ruoshui has a simple personality, and you can see through her at a glance. She has a good character and is as noble as an orchid. My daughter also has a simple personality, and you, Hua Bochen, can see through her at a glance. She is jealous and malicious, isn't that right? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you want her to be jealous of you. To put it bluntly, you, Hua Bochen, are worthy of it? You really think you're an important person."
Hua Bochen's face turned pale. This was the first time he had been belittled like this since he was a child. But he couldn't say anything because the other party was his elder. Perhaps it was not just because of this. He seemed to be a little too arbitrary. But would Miss Li lie to him? To be honest, it seemed that he didn't really understand her. But could someone like her have a bad side? He didn't want to believe it, and Miss Li had no reason to frame Wen Renying.
Thinking of this, Hua Bochen's expression became firm.
Seeing that he was totally unwilling to listen, Han was too lazy to pay any more attention to him. This kind of person might repent one day when he gets a bloody head and sees everything clearly. But she was afraid that when that day comes, he simply wouldn't be able to bear it.
Han took her two daughters and left. Whatever the wife of Marquis Pingjin wanted to do later had nothing to do with them.
However, through this episode, we have a clearer understanding of Li Ruoshui. So there is a reason why their Xuan'er didn't like Li Ruoshui at first sight. Xuan'er is truly kind, while Li Ruoshui appears outstanding on the surface but is a dirty bunch on the inside. They are not the same kind of people, and it is not surprising that they are repelled at first sight.
For the wife of Marquis Pingjin, she would certainly not be happy when her son was spoken of in such a bad light. However, Han was angry and only said a few unpleasant words. Besides, it was a good thing to be willing to scold someone. She just kept it in her heart without saying a word. Only then should she really consider whether she had annoyed their family.
The wife of Marquis Pingjin had originally recovered well, but now she feels unwell everywhere. Even when she was at her worst, it seemed that it was not as bad as it is now. She even feels a little breathless.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you, mom, mom, don’t scare me, mom…” Hua Bochen saw his mother covering her chest and her complexion becoming worse. He couldn’t sit still and was suddenly frightened out of his wits.
The wife of Marquis Pingjin tried weakly to push Hua Bochen away, calling him an evil creature from time to time, and she believed that he would drive her to death sooner or later.
The maids were also frightened, and quickly gave her two pills just in case. They comforted her and helped her calm down. Another maid hurriedly went to find their prince's wife. Hua Bochen was so anxious that he was running around, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Cao returned and saw the situation of Pingjin Houfuren. He hurried forward, but was stopped by Hua Bochen. "What else do you want to do? You hurt my mother like this, and you still have the nerve to come back?"
Not to mention how ugly the face of Pingjin Hou's wife was when she heard this, the wife of Pingjin Hou's son, who hurried over, wanted to strangle her brother-in-law to death. She hurried forward and pushed Hua Bochen away, "Fourth Miss, he is not in his right mind. Don't argue with him. When you go back, let his brother teach him a lesson."
Hua Bochen looked indignant and was about to say something when he was glared at by his eldest sister-in-law.
Xiaocao had a cold face. She felt the pulse of Marquis Pingjin's wife and gave her two injections. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. Even when Marquis Pingjin's wife said something to the prince's wife, she didn't respond. When the prince of Pingjin arrived, Marquis Pingjin's wife's condition was stabilized. Xiaocao took the silver needle, squatted down, and left.
It was obvious that she was really angry this time. It was also based on the conscience of a doctor, and the attitude of the wife of Pingjin Hou was also quite good, so Xiaocao turned back to take a look. Otherwise, even if the person was dead, it would have nothing to do with her.
However, Xiaocao's attitude made Hua Bochen unhappy. He said angrily, "You are just a little female doctor who grew up in the market. How dare you act like this? I heard that I am just..."
The wife of Marquis Pingjin almost couldn't catch her breath again. The Marquis Pingjin's son had a cold face and slapped her directly, "If you dare to say something nonsense again, I will smash your mouth."
The son of Pingjin Marquis, looks quite elegant, but actually he has been practicing martial arts since he was young. His strength is far beyond Wen Renying's. He slapped Hua Bochen in the face without mercy. Hua Bochen staggered and almost fell to the ground. Blood came out of the corner of his mouth and his face quickly became red and swollen. It can be said that Hua Bochen was stunned by this slap, which was completely different from the previous slap from Wen Renying.
Because there was no need for him to set up a new household, Hua Bochen had lived a casual life since he was young. He was spoiled by his parents, protected by his brothers, and the illegitimate children were even more respectful to him. The worst that happened to him was a few scoldings. Even so, this person did not include his brothers. He even stood on his side when he was scolded by his parents. Therefore, after being scolded and beaten by his brother, he couldn't believe it and even felt a little aggrieved.
"Brother, you hit me?" She cried, "Did I say something wrong? She was..."
"You still have something to say?" The Prince of Pingjin Marquis raised his hand and was about to hit him again.
Hua Bochen shrank back in fear, but then he stiffened his neck in dissatisfaction, "Am I wrong? She is a female doctor, and she is good at dealing with people in the market. He is just a third-rank official. He dares to attack me by marrying into our mansion?" It seemed that the more he spoke, the more reasonable he felt. "Besides, they did something disgusting, but they brought it to mother. If it wasn't for them, mother would be like this? And they came back hypocritically..."
The face of the Prince of Pingjin was extremely dark, and the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin was so angry that she was gasping for breath, so that Xiaocao's previous treatment was in vain. The wife of the Prince of Pingjin hurriedly comforted the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin, saying that she sometimes thought that her brother-in-law was naive, and there was nothing wrong with him. But today she really saw how shameless he was!
The Prince of Pingjin took a deep breath and said, "It's my fault." Then he stepped forward and grabbed Hua Bochen by the collar, "Mom, I'll take him back first."
Knowing what her eldest son was going to do, Lady Pingjin Hou had no intention of stopping him and just waved her hand helplessly.
The Prince of Pingjin Marquis grabbed Hua Bochen and dragged him with a cold face. He ignored any resistance from Hua Bochen. Even when he met other people along the way, he had no intention of letting them go. Everyone could feel how angry the Prince of Pingjin Marquis was at this moment. No one would be so ignorant as to approach him. They all avoided him and talked in a low voice.
Hua Bochen's face was swollen, and he even wanted to cover his entire body with his sleeves.
Only one person dared to confront them head-on, and that was Li Ruoshui who came here specifically to find them.
Li Ruoshui just wanted to know the result and didn't want to get involved, so he just pretended to be unintentional and unaware, and showed a very surprised look, "Prince Hua, you brothers are..."
The Prince of Pingjin looked at Li Ruoshui coldly. Compared with his brother who was not in a clear mind, he naturally trusted his family more. Moreover, he also had his own ability to analyze and judge. What did he say about the seventh girl of the Wenren family bringing her sister to cause trouble for Li Ruoshui? It was simply a big joke. Who would do such an embarrassing thing as a good girl? Only his brother, who had a pig brain, was bewitched by this woman and believed what people said. After the incident between their family's Cheng Wang Ming Zeyue and this woman last time, if it happened again today, he would not know what kind of person this woman was, and he would have no chance to get along.
"roll!"
Li Ruoshui's heart skipped a beat, but she looked frightened and aggrieved, "Prince Hua, you..." She was about to cry.
However, this did not make Prince Hua feel soft-hearted. Instead, some of his views became more certain. This lady from the Li family was actually like a concubine in the backyard, so low and not presentable. What talent for poetry and literature? God actually allowed such a person to write such masterpieces. It was simply blind and a stain on all talented people in the world.
Prince Hua pulled Hua Bochen past Li Ruoshui. He was a grown man and couldn't do anything to her. The best way was to ignore her.
Li Ruoshui unconsciously tightened her handkerchief. She thought she had made a good impression on the Prince of Pingjin. During the Shangsi Festival, she had accidentally discovered this nice man and had an opportunity for "intimate contact". The other party was obviously very gentlemanly and praised her in a short conversation. Why now...
So, in fact, except for Hua Bochen, no one else in the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion trusted her, but believed the two sisters of the Wenren family? But why? Wasn't Hua Bochen very favored? As a family member, they didn't trust his son (brother), but trusted outsiders instead? Is there something wrong? ! Li Ruoshui had always been very subtle in provoking and squeezing people in the past, and never made it clear. The reason why she had this incident today was because she was too smooth with Prince Cheng, and she was arrogant. She couldn't find a chance to meet Hua Bochen. Today, she finally had the opportunity, so she used drastic measures, and it seemed that she had dug herself into a hole.
—Hua Bochen is indeed a useless man who can’t even handle his own family.
Obviously, Li Ruoshui seems to be more integrated into this world than Concubine Kou. In fact, deep down, she still believes that a man should be fearless for the one he loves, and that parents should be willing to meet the requests of their favorite children. They can also act recklessly and treat their parents like slaves, asking for whatever they want.
Or maybe she just thinks that everyone in the world should revolve around her.
Hua Bochen felt ashamed, annoyed and angry. It would have been fine if it was just for other people, but he was so embarrassed in front of Miss Li that he even hated his brother for a moment. Not only did he struggle and resist, he also attacked him.
Prince Hua let go of Hua Bochen and looked at the blood mark on his hand. Very good, really very good. His brother not only tickled people like a woman, but also had the courage to fight him. And the reason for this was that he had embarrassed him in front of Li Ruoshui.
Good, very good!
To be honest, my brother, who has always been well-behaved, obedient and sensible, suddenly became extremely stupid because of a woman and dared to go against me. Anyone would be furious. I was too kind to him before. I grabbed Hua Bochen's neck and dragged him forward.
Hua Bochen staggered unexpectedly, and only because he was pinched on the back of his neck did he not fall directly to the ground.
Hua Bochen was almost thrown into the carriage by Prince Hua, and was taken directly back to the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, and still dragged to the ancestral hall.
Along the way, the servants were shocked. Their prince has always had a good temper. Even his illegitimate brothers and sisters are nice to him, not to mention his biological brother Hua Bochen. But today he was so angry. What did Master Bochen do
Prince Hua pushed Hua Bochen into the ancestral hall. He ignored the fact that Hua Bochen fell to the ground and took out the family discipline stick on the table - a two-finger-wide board - and beat Hua Bochen hard. "I didn't help my parents to discipline you before. When they scolded you, I stood by you, thinking that you were still young and our family didn't need you to do anything. Just do your own things happily. After all, you are much better than many other dandies. Today I know that you are so naive and stupid..."
