Chapter 343

What?! Madam Zhang was dumbfounded: “!!!”

The Xu family was not really a legitimate relative of the county magistrate, in fact, they were just common people who could also get afraid of officials, and the Zhang family was no exception, though she has to say, if she was still in Jiangyu County now, she might still have some confidence but this was the capital city!

“You.... you really want to report to the authorities?” Madam Zhang’s expression could not help but reveal a little anxiety.

Women all put importance on their reputation and integrity, so Madam Zhang was caught dumbfounded, after all, she originally thought that they could just make trouble here and attract attention, and surely Li Erya should be afraid and would welcome her and her son into her mansion, and then they would naturally chat leisurely about the negotiation terms.

But how could Li Erya be so stubborn, even willing to go to the court and make everyone in the capital laugh at her?!

Qin Jiu seemed to see through Madam Zhang’s mind and added righteously, “Madam Zhang, it’s not you who refuses to let go of this matter now, it’s me.”

At this time, Qin Zeyu regained his composure. Anyway, whatever his sister said was right, he just nodded frequently on the side.

At this time, Xu Jinpeng who had just been beaten black and blue by Qin Zeyu’s three punches pulled Madam Zhang’s sleeve and said pitifully, “Mother, my face hurts. Didn’t you say that my wife is here? Where is my wife?”

Madam Zhang’s expression turned ugly again as she said perfunctorily to her son, “Don’t make trouble, mother will buy you delicious food later.”

Seeing this, the onlookers looked at each other, shaken up. for new novels

Originally, they felt that this mother and son had traveled a thousand miles to seek justice in the capital, which was truly pitiful, especially since Madam Zhang’s son was clearly a fool, they inevitably had preconceived sympathy for the mother and son, thinking that it was Third Miss Qin who climbed the high branch and betrayed her promise, abandoning her fiancé in her hometown.

But now, looking at Third Miss Qin’s clear conscience, and saying immediately that she would report this to the authorities, her attitude only shows how upright she was and she really didn’t seem like a person with a guilty conscience.

Qin Jiu curled her lips into a half smile as she ordered, “Someone, report to Jingzhao immediately.”

“Yes, Third Miss Qin.” The steward hurriedly answered, and had someone else hurry to prepare the horses.

The complexion on Madam Zhang’s face turned from green to pale after seeing that Qin Jiu didn’t make any sense at all, her heart trembled. She raised her voice and said, “Report, just report. Who’s afraid of who, our Xu family has the bride price letter as well as Geng Tie!”

With her chin raised high and a confident look, she told herself that there was nothing to be afraid of!

Her husband told her to just make trouble, after all, it’s not like it was their fault. The marriage between Jinpeng and Li Erya was done according to rules, nor did they rob someone’s daughter by force! No matter how much trouble they make, the crime was not on them.

If the trouble was loud enough, their Xu family would be able to achieve extraordinary wealth and prosperity, so this opportunity must not be missed since this would never come again. If their Xu family wants to change their fate, this was the only time.

“Bride price letter?” Qin Jiu’s eyebrows twitched and seemed to be affected.

Madam Zhang’s eyes lit up, feeling that she had caught Qin Jiu’s weakness, and emphasized, “That’s right, we have the bride price and a geng tie.”

This bride price and Geng Tie were genuine! Madam Zhang suddenly gained confidence.

Xu momo furrowed her brows anxiously, they were not afraid that the other party has the bride price letter, after all, this marriage was about the emphasis on “the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers”. The Li couple was not qualified to make decisions for Qin Jiu’s marriage.

But once this matter spreads, everyone in the capital would know that Qin Jiu was once promised a marriage.

Even if they know that this was true, but it was enough to make people chew the cud after tea and see the hilarity.
