Old Madam Lai also noticed the marks on Madam Ding's body, she turned to glare at Fourth Lai who lowered his head. He did not think that Madam Ding would make such a fuss, he had underestimated her shamelessness!
Madam Ding saw that the people around her had started to sympathize with her which was why she wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and walked over to where her mother was, she reached out her hands and then helped Old Madam Ding up before saying, " Mother it's my fault. I should have died instead of implicating you.
I previously believed that the Lai family would take responsibility for their actions but looks like I gave them too much credit."
" Compared to them who are we? How can we even think of joining their family? It's just that I want them to hand me an explanation, what have I done to be sent as a monk to a temple? I just went to pay my respects to the heavens and worship, is it right for something like this to happen to me?"
"I did not think that I would be the one who would have to suffer like this and you would be suppressed along with me. I can bear to lower my head but I cannot watch you suffer like this because of me. As a daughter watching my mother lower her head because of me is the worst possible thing that could happen to me."
She then raised her head and glared at Fourth Lai before saying in an angry voice, " If you don't want to marry me then fine! I am not dying to marry you either, I only agreed because my reputation was ruined by you and nothing else! Do you think that you are some sort of big tyrant who can touch anyone you want?"
" Even if I have to live my life as a monk, I will make sure that you give me an explanation!" She then turned to look at her mother and said, "Let's go, mother, we will complain about them and my ex-husband to the county magistrate. Let's see what she says!"
Old Madam Ding's eyes flashed as she understood what her daughter was doing. She nodded her head and then said, " You are right. Let's go and take a look at the county magistrate. She will definitely give us an answer! If the Lai family cannot take responsibility for this matter then someone else has to!"
Moreover, the imperial guard hadn't left yet, if they found out that the county magistrate appointed by the Emperor himself was suffering like this then he was sure that they would be caught in a lot of trouble!
What was more there was a prince as well!
If this matter was handed to Su Wan then their family would be in big trouble.
Old Madam Lai took a deep breath and then said to her eldest son, " Go and promise them whatever they want, we cannot let them bring this matter to that woman. If she gets a hang on us then we can forget to live in peace."
Eldest Master Wu was really upset but he nodded upon hearing the words of his mother.
" I understand," he said to his mother before walking up to the two women. It was fine, even though these women made a fuss, sooner or later he would teach them a lesson that it was not easy to gobble up the money of the Lai family!
He smiled at the two women and then said, " You two misunderstood us, we never wanted to ask two thousand taels from your family. We only wanted to help you by handing you two thousand taels as for the rest you don't have to worry about, not only will we hand you your dowry but we will take care of everything else. You don't have to bring anything."
Though this matter was humiliating. Their family had nothing on their hands, to think that they purchased a wh*re for two thousand taels!
