Chapter 974: If You Want to Escape, There Is No Way!

"What, have you gone to the court?" Madam Yang Quhou almost fainted when she heard the news. She held her hand on the corner of the table and kept saying, "Quick... hurry up and ask Madam Prince to come over!"

Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi came very quickly, and she also got the news that her daughter had sued Liu Xincheng in court, saying that Liu Xincheng chased her daughter in the street and wanted to beat her to death for a female performer.

Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi came from a family of military generals and had a hot temper. She couldn't bear to hear this. She ordered all the people and was about to go to the Ministry of Punishment. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yangquhou actually came to call for people at this time.

He simply led a large group of people to Madam Yangquhou's place.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a teacup flying over. He ducked to the side slightly, and the teacup hit the door frame heavily and broke into pieces.

"You unfilial person, I told you to marry someone a long time ago, but you have been insisting on not marrying me. Look what has happened now!" Mrs. Yang Quhou stretched out her hand and cursed.

"What mother is saying is, my daughter-in-law should go and see now. She is so disrespectful of face, fooling around with the female actors, and making such a scene. Do you really think that there is no one in our house? If you can endure such anger , how can the father-in-law and the prince still gain a foothold in front of others in the future, and it’s not like they are proud of selling their daughters!"

Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi deliberately misinterpreted Mrs. Yangquhou's words. After speaking, she bowed to her sideways and respectfully said: "Mother, I will go and bring Wan'er back now."

"You... why don't you go quickly!" Although Mrs. Yang Quhou knew that Mrs. Shizi was pretending to be confused again, she had to let her go.

How could a young lady from an aristocratic family really stay in the Ministry of Punishment, let alone the daughter-in-law, who just mentioned the Marquis and his son, she couldn't tolerate Luo Xiaowan in the Ministry of Punishment even for the sake of the Marquis and his son. Stay, we must get this person back quickly, this marriage... Mrs. Yang Quhou has no idea about this marriage.

If this matter is such a big deal, if I don't cancel the marriage as I should, people might say that I am a stooge who sells his granddaughter to gain wealth in order to curry favor with the Queen.

Even though she really wanted to please the Queen through this matter, she couldn't really respond at this time.

The official career of the Marquis and his son cannot be missed!

Even though she was feeling depressed about her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang Quhou had to let her take her back first.

"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law will go right away!" After receiving these words, Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi nodded immediately, turned around and led a large group of people to the Ministry of Justice. She wanted to see what happened to this piece of mud that could not hold up the wall. Dare to do such a thing.

Now that the matter is so big, it doesn't matter if it gets bigger. Anyway, my daughter's reputation has been dragged down by this piece of mud, and it's her fault that this mute won't eat it.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Punishments, they heard that Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi had arrived. Officials from the Ministry of Punishments invited her in and saw a trembling Luo Xiaowan in a room on the side.

Seeing that her daughter's hair was not only messy, but also had a scratch on her face. Her fair and tender face looked a bit red and swollen. Madam Yangquhou Shizi was furious. She turned around and asked the official behind her: "Where is Liu Xincheng?"

"In the next room!" the official said.

"I'll go take a look!" Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi turned around and walked to the house on the side. The officials from the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly followed her when they saw something bad.

But it was still a few steps late. Liu Xincheng was picked up by Yang Shihou Shizifu in the house.

Come on, he pushed hard and hit the corner of the table on one side, causing the pain to bend his whole body.

"you you……"

"A prodigal wants to marry my daughter. Who gives you such a big face? You don't even know what kind of thing you are!" Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi said bitterly, thinking of the miserable look of her daughter she just saw. He looked like he was gritting his teeth.

This was not a well-matched marriage in the first place. Just because the Empress said so, the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion wholeheartedly supported the Empress, saying that being a matchmaker was just to please the Empress. As for her mother-in-law, it was also because of such a Psychologically, I never let my daughter cancel the engagement.

Now the marriage has been cancelled, but the daughter's reputation has been almost ruined. Thinking of the hatred, Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi is tempted to eat Liu Xincheng.

A slap in the face is not a slap in the face. Even though Mrs. Yang Quhou hated him, it was not convenient to hit Liu Xincheng in the face at this time, so she could only push him hard.

"Mrs. Crown Prince, please keep talking!" The official from the Ministry of Punishment arrived and asked her to go out while secretly wiping cold sweat. If there really was another fight here, he would also be responsible.

Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi glared at Liu Xincheng again, and turned back to the previous room. She hugged her daughter and felt heartbroken. She also secretly made up her mind that this matter could not be resolved no matter what, and she would never let her daughter have sex with this prodigal man again. If the relationship is involved and it is revealed at this time, the daughter's reputation will be bad, but it is better than tearing it out in the future!

If you get married and are forced to return home, that would be really bad!

Thinking this way, I felt a little relieved. I immediately asked someone to negotiate with the Ministry of Punishment. Luo Xiaowan was the plaintiff, but she was a young lady from a well-known family. Of course, it was not convenient for her to come forward, leaving a maid to take the name of the plaintiff. Luo Xiaowan Following Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi back, Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi also left her capable housekeeper behind to help the maid fight the lawsuit.

In fact, this lawsuit is not a big deal. It is just a quarrel between two families. At most, it only hurts a little face. He should not be in the Ministry of Punishment in the first place. In addition, the relationship between the two parties is that of marriage, and someone has played a role in the middle. It was only evening, so that was enough.

It's a criminal matter, but because this matter is related to the Ministry of Punishment, it is imperative to cancel the engagement, and the Yangquhou Mansion cannot let people point their fingers at the prostitute for selling their daughter for glory.

On the same day, Mrs. Yang Quhou went to invite the wife of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. She was the matchmaker, so she had to talk about the withdrawal of the engagement.

"Does Your Majesty know this?" Madam Tai said calmly, her brows furrowed, and she could tell she wasn't happy about it.

"The queen must know that this matter has turned out like this. The current situation is not a marriage, but an enemy. Let's forget about this marriage!" Mrs. Yang Quhou said with a bitter smile. She originally wanted to I used this to curry favor with the Queen, but I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen.

"This marriage has been canceled like this. Madam Hou should go to the palace in person!" The Tai Furen did not want to take this responsibility and pushed the matter to Madam Hou.

Originally, she just followed the trend, thinking that she could please the Queen with just a few words. Unexpectedly, she didn't get this favor, but instead she became very depressed. Speaking of her, the so-called matchmaker, she was extremely embarrassed.

"It's better to go see the Queen later!" Madam Yangquhou said. The current situation is...

If you don't want to retreat, you have to retreat. The Marquis also told himself that if the Empress really interferes, it will be difficult to deal with. It is better to deal with it yourself first, and then tell the Empress, even if the Empress is a little bit Displeased, that's all.

It's embarrassing for everyone to talk about this matter. It's better not to open it up.

"Since you have decided like this, I can't be the master of your house, so just retreat!" The Tai Furen also has a lot of things to do at home, and she really doesn't want to worry about the affairs of the Yangquhou Mansion, so she said calmly.

I asked Aunt Yu to take care of this matter. She found Liu Xincheng and asked him to get the marriage certificate back. I thought it was a very simple matter, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened. After Liu Xincheng came out of the Ministry of Punishment, he immediately He left, saying he wanted to go home.

When Grandma Yu passed by, she was already gone!

If we go back, the marriage will not be resolved for a while, and Luo Xiaowan will have to drag it out again. A man can afford it, but a woman can't. How long can it be delayed like this?

Madam Yangquhou Shizi was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly sent people to chase him, making sure to chase him back.

The people sent out had no choice but to chase her all the way, but could not catch up. Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi was anxious and wandered around the room. If Liu Mansion had this intention, I am afraid that this marriage would have to be delayed until the end. Not even a sound!

My daughter's life is really ruined. This Liu Xincheng is really a poisonous person. He actually came up with such a way to delay this marriage.

When Luo Xiaowan heard the news, she couldn't help but cry. No matter how hard the girls tried to persuade her, they couldn't help it.

By evening, the people sent by Madam Yangquhou Shizi had not yet found Liu Xincheng.

"Miss, Princess Chen sent someone here. This is a letter for you!" A maid hurriedly delivered a letter. Luo Xiaowan wiped her tears and took it. After opening it, she stood up in surprise. , picked up the hem of her skirt and ran to Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi's house without caring about anything else.

When Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi read Shao Wanru's letter, she was overjoyed and sent someone out hurriedly. Not long after, Liu Xincheng was found in a courtyard to the east and north of the capital.

In fact, he didn't leave at all, so the servants of Yangquhou Mansion didn't catch up.

After being found, Liu Xincheng was still unwilling to break off the engagement, but then the Xingguo Houfu came forward, and Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi appeared in person, so he reluctantly took out the marriage letter, and the marriage was finally resolved as scheduled.

Shao Wanru returned to the mansion in the evening. She had gone to Cining Palace to talk to the Queen Mother for a while, and also told the Queen Mother about something she had seen before. It happened that Liu Xincheng was "chasing" Luo Xiaowan. At that time, Shao Wanru's carriage "happened" to go to the street and saw that scene.

When I told the Queen Mother about this, she felt very sorry for Luo Xiaowan. Such a young lady from an aristocratic family was betrothed to such a libertine. This marriage was too much.

Afterwards, Shao Wanru chatted with the Queen Mother for a while before returning to Prince Chen's Mansion through the side door. She had already arranged things before entering the palace.

As soon as they arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, Qing'er came to report, "Princess, Liu Xincheng has been found. According to your instructions, I will send someone to keep an eye on him first. After he is settled, I will send the news to Miss Luo."

This was originally just a casual move, but I didn't expect Liu Xincheng to actually make a move!
