Chapter 224 I Want to Sue the Authorities
Those who were watching the excitement were stunned by the broken sedan chair.
Madam Dou was so angry that her face was twisted. It was not only the sedan chair that was broken, but also the reputation of the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
This was simply unbearable.
Madam Dou immediately ordered ten strong servants to deal with the big shovel.
The others all rushed towards Ling Chu.
Ling Chu did not move, just looked at them coldly.
He waved his hand lightly.
The big shovel that was pointing to the sky immediately became excited.
He swept across the ten servants who were rushing over.
Plop, plop...
The ten strong servants fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
After knocking down those servants, the big shovel rushed to Ling Chu.
An abrupt stop.
Then turned around and swept across.
In just a few breaths, those who surrounded him all fell to the ground and screamed.
Those who were watching felt that today's excitement was even more exciting than singing a big opera.
It was the first time they saw a bride smash her own bridal sedan and beat the wedding procession until they cried for their parents.
Seeing Ling Chu walking towards her step by step with the big shovel beside him, Madam Dou couldn't help but tremble, "You, you...what do you want to do?"
Seeing the power of the big shovel with her own eyes, Madam Dou was really scared.
If she was hit by the big shovel, there would probably be nothing left.
"Madam Dou, I heard that your Zhaoguo Mansion is going to go to the government to sue me for marriage fraud? What kind of person is your prince? Do you need me to help you publicize him?"
Being questioned in public by Ling Chu, Madam Dou frowned and dared not say a word.
She originally publicized the marriage fraud of Dong's mother and daughter, firstly to ruin the reputation of Ling Mansion, and secondly to take the opportunity to force Ling Mansion to hand over Ling Chu under public opinion.
Unexpectedly, she came out, but she was not forced, but came to settle accounts with them.
The bridal sedan was smashed, and in order to save face, she wanted to use force.
Who knew that she brought so many people, but they were no match for her big shovel.
At this moment, Dou Mama regretted it. If Ling Chu publicized the matter of Zhao Jingming, the wife of the Duke would definitely not let her off easily after returning to the mansion.
"You want to sue the officials, and I want to sue too. Although our Ling Mansion has lost, it does not mean that you, the Duke of Zhao Mansion, can oppress us at will.
The emperor still pays attention to the willingness of both parties when selecting palace maids, but you, the Duke of Zhao Mansion, actually want to use your power to force me to be a concubine for your prince.
What the emperor would not do, you, the Duke of Zhao Mansion, do unscrupulously.
If you do not return the concubine document, I will definitely go to the government to sue you, the Duke of Zhao Mansion, for using your power to oppress our Ling Mansion."
Dou Mama stared at Ling Chu, wishing she could eat her alive.
"You are talking nonsense. It is obviously your mother who agreed that our Zhaoguogong Mansion wanted to take you as a concubine."
"Madam, you are really good at confusing right and wrong. Originally, the Zhao and Ling Mansions had decided on the marriage many years ago, but your Zhaoguogong Mansion saw that our Ling Mansion failed, so you despised me for not being worthy of your prince and forced my mother to sign the concubine document."
When Ling Chu said this, all those who originally thought that the Ling Mansion was cheating on the marriage pointed at Madam Dou and whispered.
Madam Dou was furious, but even if she wanted to defend herself, no one would believe her.
"Your Zhaoguo prince wants to marry another noble wife. Even if you cancel the engagement, I will never complain. But you Zhaoguogong Mansion can't want to be a whore and also want to set up a memorial archway.
You want to take away my position as the prince's consort, and force me to be a concubine for your prince. It's simply too much."
Everyone sympathizes with the weak, and those who are watching the fun did not doubt Ling Chu's words.
Madam Dou almost vomited blood in anger.
Ling Chu, however, pretended to be blind and threatened directly, "Go back and tell your Duke's wife that if you don't want your prince's secret to be known to everyone, send me the documents for taking a concubine today."
Madam Dou's words, "You are dreaming", almost came to her throat, but she swallowed them back.
She was afraid that if she said this, Ling Chu would really tell everyone about their prince's keeping that person.
The Duke's wife was trying to find a way to hire the Princess Wen'an as her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't let Ling Chu ruin the prince's reputation at this time.
Madam Dou couldn't force Ling Chu to get on the bridal sedan, so she could only hold back her anger and leave with the wedding team in disgrace.
Ling Chu took back the shovel after they left.
Although she threatened with Zhao Jingming's keeping that person, she was not very sure that the Duke Zhao's wife would give up taking her as a concubine.
I'm afraid that this matter will have to be solved in another way.
However, the most urgent thing is that she has to buy a house first and separate her household registration.
She wants to leave the Ling family, otherwise even if she solves the problem of Zhaoguogong Mansion, she will be sold out by Dong again in the future.
In fact, not only Dong, but also her grandparents want to use her marriage to gain benefits.
She doesn't want to face this kind of thing every few days in the future.
Ling Chu simply didn't go back to the house, and directly asked Xia Zhi to drive the carriage out and go straight to the pawnshop.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Ling?" Hearing the noise, the pawnshop manager looked up with a surprised expression.
Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Manager Chen has a good memory."
After greeting, she subconsciously glanced at the man sitting next to her.
Her eyes swept across the other's black forehead and the top of his head entangled with resentment.
Not knowing who this person was, Ling Chu didn't speak rashly.
If it were another buyer, Manager Chen might not remember it, but he still had a deep impression of Ling Chu.
After all, it was she who bought the haunted house that fell on his hands.
Thinking of the haunted house, Manager Chen's face changed, "Miss Ling, is your house... okay?"
Ling Chu saw what Manager Chen was worried about at a glance.
"Manager Chen, don't worry, I'm not here to return the house."
Manager Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the house would be returned again.
Since she didn't come to him to return the house, "Then why did Miss Ling come to the brokerage..."
"I came to see if there is a suitable house."
Manager Chen was a little surprised, he still remembered that Ling Chu didn't have much money at the beginning, so she wanted to buy the haunted house.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a short time, and she actually has money to buy a second one.
With business coming to the door, Manager Chen suddenly became more enthusiastic than before.
After inviting Ling Chu to sit down and asking the maid to bring her tea and snacks, he said, "I wonder what kind of house Miss Ling wants this time?"
"A good location, quiet, no messy people around, a smaller house is fine."
"Miss, do you still want a house in East City?"
"I want West City, but I'm afraid there's no one."
Most of the people in West City are wealthy nobles, but Ling Chu didn't go there for that. She just wanted to stay away from the people in Ling Mansion to avoid getting entangled.
"The houses in West City are indeed in high demand. There are no houses for sale at the moment, but there are some for rent."
Ling Chu didn't want to rent. She wanted to set up her own household and had to have her own house.
If there's no house in West City, then she can only buy one in East City.
As soon as Manager Chen finished speaking, the man who had been listening quietly beside him suddenly spoke up, "What a coincidence, my house is for sale. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Manager Chen was surprised, "Ah, Ma Zhongcai, isn't your house only for rent and not for sale?"
Where are the tickets...
