Chapter 475: Forced Marriage
On the second day after seeing Xiaolian, the Su family swaggered and gave a dowry, saying that even if Su Huaiyuan died, it would be lively and decent, and Wei Yan could not be wronged.
However, what the Su family brought was not a rare treasure, but a papier-mΓ’chΓ© funeral object.
As soon as Old Man Wei passed his birthday, the Su family sent these things, obviously deliberately cursing.
Of course, the guard of the Wei family would not let the people of the Su family carry these things in and bump into the people in the house, but the Su family refused to leave outside, and the scene was quite ugly.
When Hua Rong heard the news, she immediately went to find Li Xiangling, who was so angry that she was gathering the nursing home and preparing to beat the people of the Su family away.
Hua Rong stopped Li Xiangling: "The Su family just wants to provoke us with this method, and the sister-in-law can't fall for their tricks." β
"They deceive people too much, if no one comes forward today, he really has no one in the Wei family!"
Li Xiangling gritted his teeth, after so many years, it was the first time he had encountered such a shameless person.
Hua Rong knew that she was in a hurry, so she pulled her into the house and said, "I have a way to let them take their things away by themselves, and I bother my sister-in-law to help me accompany my grandfather and grandmother, so as not to let them be angry with those people." β
Li Xiangling still refused, and Hua Rong had no choice but to tell her plan.
Li Xiangling was a little angry and said, "Then I'll let Jingluo accompany you, and when they leave, I will immediately enter the palace to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!" β
She is His Majesty's own aunt, and her words always carry some weight.
persuaded Li Xiangling that Hua Rong and Wei Jingluo took a carriage from the back door to Ye's house together.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the front hall of the Ye family, Ye Junxiu rushed into the house and asked vigilantly, "Why are you here?" β
Wei Jing Luopi didn't smile: "We naturally have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Ye Gongzi might as well think about whether he has done anything bad recently." β
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Old Man Ye walked into the hall: "Xiu'er, step down, don't be rude to your guests!" β
Old Man Ye's body was tough, he spoke with a lot of energy, and he was very majestic, Ye Junxiu was a little afraid of him, glared at Wei Jingluo, and left unwillingly.
The servant served hot tea, and Old Man Ye took a sip before asking unhurriedly: "I don't know why Miss Wei and Little Master Wei suddenly came to the door?" β
Hua Rong got up and said: "It's rude for the juniors to come to the door to bother, but the incident happened suddenly, and there is really no way for others to solve it, so the juniors can only come and ask Uncle Ye for help." β
Hua Rong's posture was quite low, but the title was full of intimacy, as if the relationship between the Ye family and the Wei family was good.
Old Man Ye put down the teacup and asked in surprise, "What happened?" β
Hua Rong took out the marriage book of the Su family and found the Wei family, and today she forcibly told her about the appointment.
Before the witness arrived, Hua Rong was not in a hurry to conclude that the Su family deliberately lied and made trouble, but only explained what the Su family had done.
After listening to this, Old Man Ye pondered for a while and asked, "So is the marriage between Miss Wei and Young Master Su real?" β
"True or false, the younger generations will naturally go to the palace to confront the Su family in the future, but today the Su family is making trouble at the door of the Wei family, the Su family is angry now, I am afraid they will not listen to what others say, but Lord Ye is a famous Confucian, peach and plum all over the world, with you to persuade them, they should be calmer, right?"
Hua Rong's attitude can be regarded as respectful, and even a little flattering, as if she was forced by the Su family to have no choice.
Old Man Ye glanced at her twice, and then said with a righteous face: "The Su family has experienced the pain of losing a child, if this marriage contract is true, it is better to keep its promise." β
That's just not wanting to help.
Hua Rong showed a disappointed expression, but she didn't plead anymore, only said in frustration: "That's it, then I'm sorry for the juniors." β
After Hua Rong finished speaking, she gave Wei Jingluo a look, and the two said goodbye and left together.
After they left, Ye Jinzhi came to the front hall to ask what happened, and Old Man Ye briefly explained the matter.
Ye Jinzhi was incredulous: "Did they really just leave? β
I made a special trip, only to ask a word and leave, which is also too strange.
Old Man Ye also felt that something was not right, but Hua Rong and Wei Jingluo looked like they were still children, and Old Man Ye didn't take them too seriously, and only told Ye Jinzhi: "You arrange more people to keep an eye on it, and tell me immediately if there is anything abnormal." β
"Yes!"
After leaving the Ye family, Hua Rong and Wei Jingluo successively went to the Night Patrol Division and Jing Zhaoyin to report to the officials.
The officials on both sides arrived at the door of the Wei family, and they were a little dumbfounded when they saw the funeral things full.
The Wei family is a relative of the emperor, how can anyone be so bold as to dare to make trouble here?
Su Mu didn't come, only Su Mu was here to sit in town, and when she saw Hua Rong reporting to the official, Su Mu didn't panic at all, and complained about her bitterness in front of the official.
It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and the officials don't know who is right and who is wrong, and they are about to stir up the mud for them to solve it privately, Hua Rong said softly: "I remember that at the beginning of this year, the imperial court posted a notice, saying that the king of Pingxi passed away, and the whole country mourned together, and Zhaoling was not allowed to marry within a year, you won't remember this matter, right?" β
Of course, such an important matter will not be forgotten, but the Su family carried funeral goods, and they didn't associate this matter with the notice for a while.
Su Mu, who was originally chattering, also changed her face after hearing this.
As soon as the official arrived, the people who saw the excitement spontaneously gathered around.
Hua Rong swept around, and said loudly: "The Wei and Su families were indeed neighbors when they were in Qingzhou, but I and Su Gongzi never made a marriage contract, they used fake marriage books to make trouble and ruin my reputation, I didn't plan to pursue the relationship between the two families, but they openly disobeyed the emperor's orders and ignored the etiquette law, but I can't protect them anymore, otherwise how can I be worthy of those heroic souls who died for Zhaoling?" β
This year's national funeral is not only for the king of Pingxi, but also for countless loyal souls buried in other places.
As soon as Hua Rong's words came out, the crowd immediately fell silent.
The marriage contract between the Wei and Su families has yet to be verified, but the Su family forcibly hired Wei Yan and forced Wei Yan to marry his dead son.
Su's mother sensed that something was wrong and loudly defended: "My son is dead, this is the ...... of the underworld"
Wei Jingluo unceremoniously interrupted Su's mother: "No matter what, then you came to my Wei door with such fanfare to marry my little aunt and lose the yin virtue of your short-lived son!" β
The word short-lived stimulated Su's mother, and Su's mother screamed and rushed towards Wei Jingluo, but before she could meet Wei Jingluo, she was stopped by the official, because they disobeyed the emperor's order, the rest of the Su family and those funeral goods were taken away by the official.
Hua Rong looked at the backs of those people and suddenly felt a little emotional.
If Jiang Yunfei hadn't borrowed the corpse to resurrect her soul, he would be protecting her today.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Marquis of Jingyang knelt on the main hall and denounced the officials of the Night Patrol Division and Jing Zhaoyin for dereliction of duty, conniving at the Su family to force the Wei family to marry in disregard of the etiquette law, and impeaching the old man Ye for his personal interests, ignoring the etiquette law, and deliberately shielding the Su family.
After the next dynasty, the Ye family was hated by the officials of the Night Patrol Division and Jing Zhaoyin.
