Hou's favorite girl

Chapter 237

Marquis Anyuan brought Jiang Junbo and Wu back to the Marquis Mansion.

Princess Danyang asked softly: "Should I tell my father the truth? It is said that such a big matter should not be kept from the old man, but I am worried that the old man will not be able to bear it if he finds out."

Marquis An Yuan said briefly: "If you want to hide it, you can't hide it."

Princess Danyang thought for a while and sighed: "This is also true. There are too many people in the Dachang Princess' mansion today. It is obvious to all. Father and the old man will know sooner or later."

Marquis An Yuan asked people to go to Chunhui Hall to take a look at the situation quietly. He knew that Jiang Miao, Jiang Rong, and A Ruo had already finished class, and Mrs. Su was watching the three little girls playing, so he ordered people to invite only Mrs. Jiang, but no one. Tell Mrs. Su.

Jiang Junbo and Wu Shi were brought in, and when they saw Marquis Anyuan and Princess Danyang, they cried, confessed their mistakes and begged.Marquis Anyuan was so annoyed that he ordered someone to tie their hands behind their backs and gag their mouths.

Jiang Junbo and Wu's hands were tied and their mouths were gagged. Knowing that this time the matter was serious, they were tearful and terrified.

Ling Cheng was also tightly bound and pushed in.

Ling Cheng was so frightened that he went on and on, but when he saw An Yuanhou, he bravely shouted: "You are denying my marriage! My mother said that your daughter was promised to me since childhood, and you are denying my marriage!"

Marquis An Yuan had no interest in this kind of dumbfounded young man, so he waved his hands sullenly, and someone also gagged Ling Cheng's mouth.

Ling Cheng struggled desperately, looked at Marquis Anyuan and Princess Danyang angrily and in fear, and when his eyes fell on Mrs. Wu, Ling Cheng became excited as if seeing a savior. Although his mouth was gagged, he whimpered. Call.

Wu shi bowed her head guiltily.

She told Ling Cheng face to face... Face to face, she can't escape...

An old woman's voice sounded from outside the door, "Why did you Lord Hou invite me, my old lady? My uncle is his own younger brother. He has been kicked out. Do you still treat my old lady as a serious relative?"

When Wu Shi heard that the voice was her mother Qin Shi, she was taken aback.

Qin Shi appeared at the door supported by her two sons.

Mrs. Qin was originally arrogant, but when she saw Jiang Junbo and Mrs. Wu were tied up and their mouths were gagged, she panicked and turned around to run away. , it turned out that a trap was set up for me to fall into..."

Qin's two sons were also timid. When they saw Wu being tied up, they knew that something was wrong, so they didn't even care about Qin, so they ran away.

There are guards guarding the door, how can they let these three helpless people run away?The long knife was in front of him, forcing them all back.

Qin Shi and her two sons entered the hall with mournful faces, and their legs went limp as soon as they entered. Qin Shi collapsed beside Wu Shi, and her two sons sat down beside her.

A strange middle-aged woman was "invited" in.

This woman's hair was combed neatly and her clothes were exceptionally clean, but her eyebrows were drooping and the corners of her mouth were drooping, with a miserable look on her face.

Ling Cheng was excited when he saw this woman, struggling desperately to think about it.The middle-aged woman took a look at Ling Cheng, "Son, it's your mother who hurt you." She stepped forward to put her arms around Ling Cheng, tears streaming down her face.

Mrs. Jiang stood at the door in astonishment.

Jiang Junbo and Mrs. Wu were tied up, her mother-in-law Mrs. Qin was paralyzed on the ground, Mrs. Wu's brother was crying, and there was a strange boy and a middle-aged woman crying in their arms. What's going on?

"Father." Seeing Old Master Jiang coming, Marquis An Yuan hurried over to support him.

Princess Danyang also came over, and supported Old Master Jiang, "Father, please slow down."

The old man Jiang walked in with the support of Marquis Anyuan and Princess Danyang, as if in a dream, "Dalang, what's going on? Erlang, what did he do?"

Marquis An Yuan helped him to sit down on the grand teacher's chair above, and said: "Today in the Dachang Princess' mansion, such an incident happened..." He said everything.

Marquis An Yuan didn't talk much, but his narration was clear and organized. Grandpa Jiang couldn't believe it at first, but then he gradually understood, and looked at Jiang Junbo with tears in his eyes, "Erlang, hello, you are so ruthless to your own niece."

Jiang Junbo was so anxious that he wanted to defend himself, but his mouth was still blocked and he couldn't say anything.

Marquis Anyuan pointed to Ling Cheng and the middle-aged woman and told Old Master Jiang, "This young man is called Ling Cheng, a native of the capital, who has lived in the south of the city for generations, and claims to be the one who betrothed our Huihui..."

"Bah, nonsense, nonsense." The old man Jiang was very angry, and pouted a few times, "Da Lang, your grandfather did joke that he had betrothed Huihui, but the whereabouts of that family are uncertain, it is impossible to be What kind of family from the capital. If this family is from the capital, how can we not have been with this family for many years? This is pure nonsense!"

"Zhao Shi, tell me." Princess Danyang ordered.

That middle-aged woman is Ling Cheng's mother, Mrs. Zhao.

The maid of Princess Danyang said seriously: "This is my old man, my Lord Marquis, and Princess Danyang. If the princess asked you something, you can answer it honestly. If there is a half-truth, you can take it." Be careful."

Mrs. Zhao knelt down with a sad face, "Princess, Lord Marquis, Mrs. Zhao, the little lady, Mrs. Zhao's husband died in the early years, and I took care of Cheng Er alone. The widow is unemployed. Life is really sad. The Ling family lives in this family for generations In the south of the city, although we have some family property, after the death of my husband, we orphans and widows have always been looked down upon by others in the Ling family. That day I went to the temple to offer incense, and I met a wife named Jiang. She said that she and I lived in the early years I have seen it before, and said that my late husband was still alive at that time, and he made a baby marriage for Cheng'er, and the token of the baby marriage, my late husband borrowed money from the Jiang family because he was inconvenient for a while, so he put it in Jiang's house."

"Mrs. Jiang asked me why I hadn't redeemed it. I was at a loss. How could I explain it? Later, I hesitated and said that I didn't have any money in my hand. I was afraid I couldn't redeem it. Mrs. Jiang laughed at me and said how rich your in-laws are." , This engagement token has been redeemed, and I don’t have any money to use it? I was obsessed for a while, and I believed Mrs. Jiang’s words, so I wrote an IOU based on her to get the token back, and planned with Cheng’er how to get it back to the Hou’s mansion. dear..."

"After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, you think that the Ling family really made an engagement with the Hou's mansion, and they have an idea for my eldest daughter!" Princess Danyang sneered again and again.

Isn't this wishful thinking?Just relying on a Mrs. Jiang who appeared out of nowhere, and a token from Mrs. Jiang's hand with an IOU, Zhao's delusion wanted Ling Cheng to marry An Yuanhou's favorite jewel!
