"You are really pitiful, if it were me, I would have found a way to escape from him a long time ago, and then I would have found a way to fulfill my due filial piety, why do you need to obey him so much, after all, your life is still up to you"

"You can't be like a puppet manipulated by someone with a string, as they arrange you, you should have your own ideas at all times, if you only know blind filial piety, it is equivalent to harming others and yourself."

Jiang Liuyu was deeply sympathetic to Shang Shanke's experience at home, and when she thought of her marriage contract with Kong Yu, this sympathy was added, and the resentment in her heart was even more difficult to erase, so she couldn't help but think about it in pieces.

With such wordy words, even Xiang Fanhua and Bao Jingshu, who were in the same company, couldn't stand it, not to mention how helpless Shang Shanke's face was.

"Speaking of which, have all the antique calligraphy and paintings that your father left behind have been redeemed?" The corners of Bao Jingshu's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he simply pulled Shang Shanke over, away from Jiang Liuyu's nagging.

"Nope." Shang Shanke's helpless expression quickly lowered again, "Those people who came to ask for debts before relied on their own reasons to run rampant in our family and robbed many ancestors of the things that had been handed down. ”

"Although the bride price of the Ma family is rich, it is only enough to redeem part of it, and some antiques are priceless, and they can never be taken back if they are snatched away."

Bao Jingshu took Shang Shanke's hand and patted it gently, a girl from a scholarly family can best understand the importance of those antiquities to the people in the family.

"Do you remember where they went?"

"I don't know, these are all my father's investigations." Shang Shanke shook his head, "But I know that those precious calligraphy and paintings are now on that calligraphy and painting street in Yangcheng, because only there are people who appreciate the value of calligraphy and paintings, and they can be sold at a good price." ”

"My family's calligraphy and paintings are mainly flowers and birds, among which the wild goose painting is the best, if there is a chance to redeem it, I really want to show a few people."

As soon as these words came out, for some reason, Bao Jingshu's figure suddenly stopped. Jiang Liuyu and Xiang Fanhua snickered, remembering that when they were walking on the planning street two days ago, there was a special mark on the wild goose picture that Bao Jingshu fancied.

At that time, I vaguely remembered that I had seen it somewhere, but I had no clue at all. Now that I think about it, this is exactly the logo that businesses are used to.

"If there is such a time, I would really like to see it." Bao Jingshu's mouth suddenly became dry, and as long as she thought that the ancient paintings she liked so much might have to be returned to the merchants in the future, she felt extremely sad in her heart.

While they were talking, a few people went back to the merchant's old house. The black oily wooden door of the old mansion has always been closed, but today for some reason, it has been opened.

It's just that at this time, the merchant doesn't have anything valuable, not to mention that there are still people at home, so the merchant didn't show too much surprise, and walked in with a calm face.

On the contrary, Jiang Liuyu and the others were not very relieved, and they regretted that they had just said that they would leave when they were delivered, and they followed them together.

Shang Shanke walked to the front hall before crossing the door, and when he entered, he saw someone from the Ma family coming, sitting on the main seat arrogantly, while her old father Shang Shijing was sitting on the ground very helplessly, and Ma Zengtong also spoke ill of him.

"Don't think that someone gave you the chance to live until now, old thing, do you still think your family is the same as before? It's just a pedantic nerd who has been reading books for two years, and he doesn't have any skills,"

"Now that you're defeated, you don't have to obediently cling to my Ma family, you still dare to talk back to me now, believe it or not, I let you not eat and walk around?"

Ma Zengtong scolded while picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip, and the tea in the teacup had bottomed out, so he poured the remaining tea poles next to Shang Shijing, and almost pounced.

"Stop." Shang Shanke was shocked to see it, and the alliance frowned and ran over with a roar. Jiang Liuyu was not far from the back foot of Shang Shanke, although it seemed quite enjoyable to listen to Ma Zengtong scolding people like this, but it was a bit difficult to deal with an old man like this.

Ma Zengtong saw that it was Shang Shanke who ran in, although he didn't like others to point fingers at him, but he thought that she looked pretty good, so he reluctantly endured this time.

"Father, how are you?" Shang Shanke helped Shang Shijing to get up, almost full of self-blame, and then looked at Ma Zengtong angrily.

"What are you doing here again? Why did you treat my father like this? ”

"Huh." Ma Zengtong sneered, as if he had heard some huge joke, and the corners of his mouth were extremely exaggerated. "He is your son, not mine, don't think that you are going to get married soon, you want my son to be filial to him like filial piety to his parents, there is no door."

"You're just a woman I bought back with a bride price of tens of thousands, as long as I'm happy, I can call you and go as soon as I call you, and beat and scold me at every turn, you don't take advantage of the time to obediently please me, if you accidentally offend me, you can have your good fruit to eat in the future."

word by word, it is everywhere that shows that Ma Zengtong is a bully bastard. Jiang Liuyu glanced at Bao Jingshu silently, fortunately she held back her feet just now and didn't rush in, otherwise she really wouldn't have heard such a wonderful speech from him.

"Then you shouldn't hit people randomly." Shang Shanke knows that she is at a loss, and she is the most gentle master on weekdays and has never quarreled with others, so in the face of a scoundrel like Ma Zengtong, she has no power to resist at all.

"It's no wonder to me, I'm just saying that I just pick a random day, it just happens that the day after tomorrow I am still free, so I plan to find a sedan chair to carry you through the door on that day,"

"After that, I'm going to go out to do business, and I don't know when I'll come back, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and you fall into the hands of others, I deliberately raised the time early, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, he got angry, and hundreds were not happy."

"I really can't help it, can't I see him shouting in front of me, I have to endure it, so I pushed him casually, and you came in."

But Shang Shijing was obviously pushed and couldn't stand up on his own, Ma Zengtong said it was extremely understated, and a person in the hall would be angry when he heard it.

"Even so, this shouldn't be a reason for you to do it, what we have promised will definitely be done, why are you so aggressive." Shang Shanke had unspeakable suffering in his heart, but Shang Shijing was injured, and he only cared about whether he could walk in the future.

"Okay, since you agreed, then we will set a date, and I will send two people to pick you up the day after tomorrow, and you remember to wear your red wedding dress that was prepared for me a long time ago."

"Don't try to run away when the time comes, or I'll cut you weak old father." Shang Shanke found an excuse to postpone the wedding before, which made Ma Zengtong very unhappy.

Now that he has his own eyebrows, he will naturally not let it go. As long as he thought of such a cold person as Shang Shanke, wearing a warm red wedding dress, his skin was like snow, and his thin waist was full of hands, Ma Zengtong couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

"The day after tomorrow, I married a relative, and only sent two people to carry the sedan chair, Master Ma's wedding is really not worthy of the name, it looks particularly shabby and sloppy."

Just when Ma Zengtong was fantasizing about the happiness of the day after tomorrow, Jiang Liuyu really couldn't listen to it, and walked in hand with Xiang Fanhua, only Bao Jingshu kept an eye on it, and was still waiting outside the front hall.

As soon as Ma Zengtong saw that it was Jiang Liuyu, he rushed at Jiang Liuyu in Yangcheng in the past few days, and Ma Zengtong sent someone out to investigate the results, only to understand that Jiang Liuyu came over to persuade Shangshan Ke to escape from marriage.

And when they met for the first time, Jiang Liuyu also used the excuse of talking about business, and then disappeared, and there was no more news. Ma Zengtong's anger about the two things combined, and he couldn't help but wonder if the identity of Jiang Liuyu, the princess, was true or false.

"Who did I say, it turned out to be Princess Jing's visit, and it was really a disappointment." Ma Zengtong politely bowed his hand and looked at Jiang Liuyu at his reluctant smile, how to look at it and feel obscene and hypocritical.

"It's just that this matter is a family matter between our two families, and it shouldn't have anything to do with the court and the princess, please don't interfere with the princess, I'll clean up the door."

"Aren't you about to marry Miss Merchant, then the old man should be regarded as your father-in-law, your elder, your father, if you treat your father so disobediently, wouldn't you be guilty of unfilial piety."

Jiang Liuyu hated this kind of bastard who bullied people and beat the old man, so he was angry for a while, and he didn't even know what he said, but he saw Xiang Fanhua and Ma Zengtong casting surprised eyes.

It turned out that the laws of the imperial court did not clearly stipulate how to convict unfilial piety, and as long as there were witnesses to prove that the elders were disrespectful, it was also permissible for the younger ones to be properly disciplined.

It's just that Jiang Liuyu is a newcomer, and she doesn't know much about the laws of the imperial court, so she talks nonsense, and Xiang Fanhua naturally knows that she is talking, but Ma Zengtong believes in his heart that Jiang Liuyu is not the real princess.

"What kind of powerful person am I, I can't even remember the laws of the imperial court, and I dare to pretend to be a princess here, am I really not afraid of committing a capital crime?" Ma Zengtong stood up with his hands on his hips, with a smug expression.

It's just that what he said was true, Jiang Liuyu and Xiang Fanhua were confused. Xiang Fanhua snickered when she came back to her senses, the first time she saw someone stupid enough to think that someone would pretend to be the princess, Jiang Liuyu looked helpless.

"How can you see it, how do you know that I am not a princess?"

"Look, aren't you just admitting it?" Ma Zengtong had such an expression, and slapped his face suddenly, making Jiang Liuyu roll his eyes, and the hand under his sleeve was also clenched into a fist, and he almost couldn't help but wave it on his underbeaten face.
