Only now did Soong Xintong realize that Soong Dajiang was very cunning. With just a few words, he had pushed the blame onto Butcher Ma. Was he the one who pushed everything to his Abba?
"From what Uncle Song said, if it wasn't for the discussion between them and Butcher Ma, how could they let me marry them so openly?" Soong Xintong snorted, "Of course, I don't care about the agreement between you and Butcher Ma. It's fine if you marry me yourself or your daughter. As long as you stop scheming against me, I'm still easy to talk to."
"You …" Soong Dajiang's face turned green, "They are your grandmothers. They are your cousins."
"Uncle Song, have you forgotten that we had a death wish? You were the one who kicked my father out of his house, and we agreed that we would never get along with each other again. My father was watching over you from the sky!" Soong Xintong didn't hold back at all as she turned around to look at the two yamen runner, "Brother, I want to sue them for stealing and frame me!"
"I didn't steal it." Zhang Cuihua shouted, "I didn't steal it, yet you accused me wrongly with your little hoof!"
"Sister, our family's three eggs have been stolen." Big Bao cried as he ran towards the great banyan tree, followed by Little Treasure. The two of them cried as they played a duet.
"You still dare to say that you didn't steal it!" Grandma Qiu ran over to Zhang Cuihua and searched her body. After touching her pants a few times, she took out a handful of egg drops. "Isn't this the egg that was stolen!?"
"It's my own." Zhang Cuihua said guiltily.
"Since you don't want to admit it, then forget it. I'll trouble Big Brother to take her to the yamen to interrogate her and see how long she'll have to lie for." Soong Xintong continued, "I heard that robbers need to cut off hands, and they even need to be exiled?"
"Soong Family girl." Village Head Wan shouted, "What is there to say? Must it get so out of hand? " With that, he cupped his hands towards the two yamen runner, "Brothers, this is a small conflict in the village. Why don't the two of you gather a large group of people and bring them to the yamen?"
"You can't do this to my mother. My second brother is still in the academy, and he's about to take the Elementary Scholar exam. In the future …" It was unknown when Soong Qingxiu had arrived in front of them, but she looked at Soong Xintong with a threatening gaze, "Let my mother go. When my second brother is an Elementary Scholar, he will definitely protect you."
Heh heh, it'd be good enough if he didn't harm her and her brother. He's still protecting her? Soong Xintong sneered.
"Bad guy, bad guy!" Da Bao and Xiao Bao said at the same time.
"Your second brother hasn't even taken scholar candidate's test yet, what kind of Elementary Scholar is that!" Grandma Qiu spat on the ground, "A bunch of shameless people. Do you really think you can pass?"
Fat yamen runner was a snobbish person. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Cuihua, "Your son is taking scholar candidate test?"
Soong Xintong's face went grim when she heard what he said.
Before Zhang Cuihua could reply, Soong Qingxiu proudly said, "Yes, my brother's knowledge is really good. Even the dean of the academy is praising him."
Although he wasn't sure, he was sure that Zhang Cuihua would do well with the dean's praise. It would be better to sell it first, as there would be benefits later on, "I feel that this is just a neighborhood dispute, a trivial matter, and not a robbery, so why don't we just forget it." With that, he looked at Soong Xintong, and tactfully agreed.
Soong Xintong's face darkened. She could not help but look at the other skinny yamen runner. This yamen runner did not say a word, obviously agreeing with her.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the outside, "This lady only wants to sue for justice, the two messengers should explain it to her."
The two Wu steelers looked towards the owner of the voice. When they saw the scar on the man's face, they were surprised. They clasped their hands and said, "So it's Scholar Lu."
"Do you think that what I have said is correct?" Lu Yunkai walked to Soong Xintong's side and stood there while cupping his hands.
Although the other party would not be able to walk the path of an official in the future, he was still an Elementary Scholar and would not be able to surpass them. yamen runner didn't dare to slap his face, "Scholar Lu, what do you think?"
"The reason they went to steal from this lady's house was to steal the Gengjin Sticker and sell it to the butcher. This is already the 630th rule of the law, those who are not related by blood cannot get married, and those who violate this rule can't get married." Lu Yunkai tapped the folding fan on his palm, "Second, breaking into the door and entering the house is the truth. Although it is only three eggs, it is still a mistake. Lord County Magistrate is wise, of course, he will not let this happen."
yamen runner's expression changed. Was he threatening them?
Who knew that Lu Yunkai would change the topic and continue, "However, this hasn't happened yet. I think we should order this woman to return the betrothal gift to her subordinate and explain it to the butcher so that the butcher won't get into trouble again. There is also this woman's broken copper lock and stolen eggs, which should also be compensated at the price. "
Soong Xintong looked at Lu Yunkai's rebuttal, which caused everyone to be speechless. They couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
yamen runner's face became a lot better, "Scholar Lu is right. Quickly return the silver and do not delay any further!"
"No." Zhang Cuihua had already made two sets of new clothes for Yuan Zhou and her daughter.
Lu Yunkai smiled coldly, "Then send it to the yamen. I remember that students with dirty backgrounds can't take the exam?"
"No, no. We'll return it when we get back!" Soong Dajiang hastily interrupted Zhang Cuihua's words, afraid that she would mislead his son by saying something that couldn't be said.
"No." Soong Xintong said loudly.
yamen runner's expression became even more unsightly. This girl actually dared to disapprove of their decision?
Soong Qingxiu immediately jumped up. "Soong Xintong, don't push yourself too far!"
Soong Xintong ignored her, "They also agreed to not interfere in my family's business last time, but in the end they made such a mistake. They're lacking a boss, why don't they get Butcher Ma to come over and let this auntie explain it to him."
"What?" Grandma Zhang and Zhang Cuihua shouted in unison.
"I know where Butcher Ma's house is, I'll go there now." A man quickly ran toward the village entrance.
A quarter of an hour later, Butcher Ma, who was wearing a festive red tunic, hurriedly ran over. When he saw Grandma Zhang, he shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry? Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow? "In such a hurry, I haven't even finished preparing my wedding dress."
"…" The crowd burst into an uproar.
Grandma Zhang and Zhang Cuihua's faces were pale as if they had lost their parents.
"Grandma Zhang, is that how you agreed to it?" Village Head Wan's face turned green with anger.
"I …" Grandma Zhang gave Butcher Ma a meaningful glance, but the man didn't understand and shouted, "Oh, you came here to drink wedding wine? "If I had known earlier, I would have brought two catties of meat over."
Soong Xintong looked at Butcher Ma with a cold expression.
Big Treasure and Little Treasure held Soong Xintong's hand, their eyes filled with hatred. They wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death!
Lu Yunkai gave a light harrumph and then cupped his hands towards the two Wu steelers.
yamen runner looked at Zhang Cuihua with a cold expression. "Go tell them!"
"What's going on? "Bound?" Butcher Ma looked at Zhang Cuihua and realized that something was not right. He then looked at Soong Xintong, who was dressed in plain clothes, with a face full of dissatisfaction.
There were many people here today, so Soong Xintong was not afraid of him!
"Butcher Ma, what my mother said to you before is not counted." The moment Soong Dajiang finished, Butcher Ma's loud voice said, "How can I do that, you guys accepted my 10 silver betrothal gift!"
Soong Dajiang was really angered to death by his own mother and daughter-in-law, "We'll return it to you now."
"No, I want to marry her!" Butcher Ma glared at Soong Xintong as if she was his possession.
Big Treasure and Little Treasure cried and shouted, "We won't marry, Big Sis won't marry!"
"Butcher Ma, are you trying to steal from me?" With a kind heart, Zhang Cuihuaang said, "Zhang Cuihua gave you 10 taels of silver. Don't come and pester us again. If you dare to pester her, then come with us to the yamen!"
"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back!" Zhang Cuihua was afraid, afraid that she would hold up her son, Gao scholar candidate.
