The Zheng family and the others did not treat themselves as outsiders, and one by one they found a chair to sit down properly, and sent the servants to serve tea.

"I don't know what you're trying to achieve with all this painstaking effort, but I can tell you right now that you can't achieve anything with this kind of destructive trick. Chen Musa adjusted his emotions and said with a straight face.

"Brother, aren't you wronging us? What do we want to achieve? No, this trip is for the children's lifelong events, this marriage contract was signed by our two families at the beginning, and it can't be faked. We were also busy at the time, and we only cared about dealing with Brother Ling's funeral, and forgot to tell you that there was still this marriage. We're not right about this, but a marriage contract is a marriage contract, and we can't just deny it, right?"

"I have never heard of this marriage contract, my eldest brother has not told me, and your Zheng family has not informed me, and now it suddenly appears, and I resolutely refuse to admit it. Taking a step back, even if it was signed by my eldest brother, it just said that if my eldest brother dies, and now Pomegranate is passed on to me as a daughter, I am his father, and I will decide the marriage matter. If I do not agree, the marriage contract that I do not sign will be null and void. "Chen Musa's attitude is resolute and non-negotiable.

Zheng Long's face turned cold: "It seems that we have to find a place to praise this reason, and if we don't recognize the marriage contract we signed, is the law of the Ming Dynasty still valid? ”

Chen Musa sneered: "In the eyes of your Zheng family, is there still such a thing as Wang Fa? It's really ridiculous, you also deserve to talk to me about the Ming Three-Foot Method." If you want to find a local judge, you can choose, local Suzhou, Nanjing, or Beijing, you can judge in front of the emperor, as long as you dare to go. ”

"The marriage contract was signed in Fuzhou back then, and if you really want to judge that you should go to Fuzhou Yamen, it really can't be done, so I have to deign to ask you to go on a trip. Zheng Long squinted his old eyes, and his face revealed murderous aura.

"Accompany you to Fuzhou Yamen? What do you want? If you have the ability, you can ask Fuzhou Yamen to send a post to arrest me. Of course, Chen Musa would not be stupid enough to fall into the net.

Chen Musa refused to go to Fuzhou, which was completely in their sand table reasoning in advance, but he still pretended to be angry.

"I said in-laws, you are unreasonable, isn't Fuzhou under the rule of the Great Tomorrow? Is there any difference between the Fuzhou Yamen and the Suzhou Yamen?" Zheng Haoguang said helpfully.

"Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I don't know what your Zheng family does, Fuzhou is not too much to say that it is your Zheng family's yamen, isn't it a joke to go there to seek justice? Aren't these officials all in charge of Nanjing, let's fight this lawsuit in Nanjing, I'm just a scholar, and it's fair enough for you to judge in Nanjing. Chen Musa said coldly after sitting down.

"Father, I see that my in-laws suddenly find it difficult to accept this, so I should give him some time to think about it. This is all my son's stupidity, and I messed up, and then I came to apologize to my in-laws. Let's go back today and visit again in two days. In the future, they will all be a family, how can they fight any lawsuits. Zheng Haoguang bowed and said.

"Well, I don't blame Brother Chen, the mistakes are all yours, and you are ready to accept the family law when you go back." If this matter is put on us, it will be difficult to accept it all of a sudden, so let Brother Chen be quiet for a while and think about it again. Zheng Long said with a kind face.

A group of people followed the old man to say goodbye and leave, but Chen Musa ignored them, let alone sent off the guests.

After the Zheng family left, Chen Musa suddenly collapsed on the chair, and the bones in his body seemed to have been sucked away.

"Master, these bastards and brutes have come to the door to bully people! Do you want me to contact the palace immediately and let them come out to deal with these brutes. The butler stepped forward and said indignantly.

"No, let me be quiet, I knew they would come to find fault, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. You send a letter to Wei Guogong first, and by the way, let him come back. ”

"What's the use of my uncle coming back, if he sees these people, he won't fight much, and if he doesn't get it, he will die. The butler said.

"Well, then don't let him come back yet, and ask Wei Guogong to find a reason to put him under house arrest in the palace, or block him in the marquis's mansion. But I had to make up a proper reason, and I said that a particularly urgent matter had to be postponed, and the marriage had to be postponed. Chen Musa was also flustered in his heart at this time.

The housekeeper hurriedly went to find someone to carry the letter, and seeing that the master could not write a letter like this, he asked a servant in the house who had read some books to write one on his behalf, and immediately sent someone to ride a horse to send it out.

Zheng Long and his entourage did not return to Nanjing, but rented an inn in Suzhou City and lived in.

Zheng Long and the others drank tea, each with a beaming face on their faces, although Chen Musa did not recognize the marriage contract, but they knew that this was already the first victory, at least Pomegranate could not marry in five days.

Thinking of what they would look like after knowing the news, they were even more happy.

"Grandpa, Master Chen doesn't recognize the marriage contract, what should we do? Zheng Boyong was a little anxious, knelt in front of Zheng Long and bowed his head and said.

Zheng Long looked at Zheng Boyong, and had nothing to say for a while, he both loved and hated this grandson.

Zheng Haonan sighed, feeling sorry for Zheng Boyong. He really wanted to help his nephew facilitate this marriage, but the old ancestor and the eldest brother agreed that they would not be able to do it if they fought for it.

The marriage contract is indeed a trump card, but they don't dare to underestimate Chen Musa, knowing that he will not give in, and if he fights, he will not have much chance of winning. The purpose of their trip is to muddy the waters, vent evil anger, and let the marriage with Pomegranate be in the shadows, and let Chen Musa live in pain.

If they can't bear it anymore and jump out when they are delirious, they will inevitably make all kinds of mistakes, and they will have a chance to make a mess. Otherwise, in all kinds of protection, they will have nothing to do.

According to the speculation of the family's think tank, it is very likely that he is the leader of the mysterious organization Qinwang faction, which is neither a gang nor a family, but a group whose purpose is to support and protect Emperor Jianwen and his important ministers. This kind of organization can be understood not only by the young leader, but also by the master in the infancy.

Zheng Haonan suddenly felt a little regretful, he did this for the happiness of his nephew, but in order to fight the Qinwang faction, his nephew's marriage was also used as a tool to attack the situation, and the consequences were unpredictable.

The true intentions of the old ancestor and his eldest brother, he didn't fully understand, if the Zheng family wanted to start a war with the organization behind it, they shouldn't act so rashly, let alone choose the war on the other party's territory. Only he understands what it means in the entire Jiangnan and the Zhongshan Palace, and what Chen Musa means in the political situation of the imperial court.

"Son, get up, your grandfather and I almost broke our bones and rushed here, isn't it just for your marriage? Zheng Haoguang said awe-inspiringly.

Zheng Haonan suddenly felt a little disgusted: how did the eldest brother become like this, even his favorite son lied.

Zheng Haomin and a few others didn't speak, they couldn't figure out what the ancestor thought, what he wanted to achieve, and wanted to marry Miss Chen home with a marriage contract more than ten years ago.

It is true that the marriage contract is legally enforceable, but the application of the law also depends on the specific situation. Chen Musa's point of view is not without a little truth, he has adopted pomegranates as an adoptive father for more than ten years, and whether the marriage contract without his consent is still binding is indeed debatable, and who wins or loses in this case depends on who will break it. If he is entering Suzhou or Nanjing Yamen, Chen Musa will win, but if he is entering Fuzhou Yamen, it will be difficult to say.

The Zheng family is menacing, the formation is huge, although the family members try their best to hide the pomegranate, but how can there be an impermeable wall? In less than half a day, the news still reached her ears.

Pomegranate ran to Chen Musa's side in a dejected state and cried: "This can't be true, it can't be true, my father will never be so confused." ”

Chen Musa had already breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but he felt a little dizzy, and his family had now cooked a bowl of ginger syrup for him to drink, which made him feel better.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen, they are just an excuse to come and look for trouble. ”

"Is there really a marriage contract? Did my father really sign it back then?" Pomegranate looked at the old man with blank eyes.

"No, this is absolutely nothing, it was faked by them, you believe me, nothing will happen, but you and besides, the wedding date will have to be postponed, and when I drive them away, I will give you a beautiful wedding. Chen Musa held the pomegranate's hand and said comfortingly.

Pomegranate wanted to say something, and his family suddenly came to report: Wei Gao, the prefect of Suzhou, came to visit.

Chen Musa knew that he had good intentions and must have come to reinforce him, so he went out to entertain the guests. Unexpectedly, Wei Gao actually came over with a group of heavily armed servants, obviously prepared for an armed conflict.

After Wei Gao understood what happened, he scolded: "Damn, these barbarians have come to our Jiangnan to spread wildness. Old master, don't worry about this matter, the next time they come, they won't let them in, send a family member to inform me, and detain them directly in the yamen, and each person will have a board, what kind of marriage contract or not, search it out and tear it up. It's a big deal, I don't want this black hat. ”

Wei Gao's generosity is not impulsive, but he feels that this is a godsend opportunity to befriend Chen Musa, if something really goes wrong, so he is dismissed, there is no need to worry. What kind of person is Chen Musa, it is impossible to stand by and watch, with the joint support of him and his mentor Gao Gong, the official career after the recovery will be smoother.

"Well, thank you, Lord Wei, I don't know what will happen next, but for now they are relatively honest. I'll wait for Wei Guogong to come over for this matter, and I'll discuss with him what to do. You should first look from the sidelines, and don't lose your own future. Chen Musa arched his hand.

Wei Gao heard that this matter was going to be handed over to Wei Guogong to handle, and he didn't dare to insist on acting on his behalf.

"Okay, I'll send a few officials to watch here, the next time they come to the door, the juniors will also come over to help your old man take care of the field, at least you have to suppress their arrogance. It's so arrogant, don't you know what they are? Wei Gao scolded angrily, and seeing that Chen Musa's face was not good, he quit and went home.
