Lu Yuanfei threw High Scholar Shang onto the ground and said,""Remember, there are some people you can't covet, understand?”
"Four, four, four."
High Scholar Shang's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he could not even speak clearly.
"Very good. Now do you understand what to do next?”Lu Yuanfei asked.
High Scholar Shang tried his best to straighten his tongue, lowered his body, and said,"I will go and cancel this marriage tomorrow, and…and I won't dare to have any more thoughts in the future.”
"You've learned to be smart now."
Lu Yuanfei nodded his head in satisfaction." Do your best tomorrow. Remember, you were the one who wanted to cancel the engagement willingly. I didn't force you, understand?”
"I…I understand."
High Scholar Shang wished he could go and find Fourth Uncle Zhang tonight. He didn't want to have anything to do with this matter at all.
Lu Yuanfei was about to leave, but he turned around and asked with a smile,""You encountered such a thing today. Don't tell me you want to report it to the authorities?”
"No, no, no. How dare I? I won't report it to the authorities."
How could he still have the mood to report to the government? He was familiar with a few of the faces that had barged in. They were hooligans who were used to fighting and causing trouble. The county government had a headache about them.
If he reported it to the magistrate, even if the magistrate caught all these people and taught them a lesson, when they were released again, he would still be the one to suffer.
He was very clear about this principle. The most difficult to deal with were these local tyrants.
Other than these thieves, he also vaguely recognized Lu Yuanfei.
This person seemed to be the sworn brother of that Great Official Ximen. Ximen Qing had many connections with the government, and many officials in the county government had to give Ximen Qing face.
If he really reported it to the authorities, the authorities might not side with him.
Lu Yuanfei turned around and walked out of the door. Without looking back, he said to the seven or eight hooligans behind him,""Give me a beating. Just don't break your legs. He still needs his legs."
Lu Yuanfei flew away, and High Scholar Shang's painful cries sounded behind him.
……
Meng Yulou sat at the dressing table and looked at himself in the mirror, lost in thought.
Xiu-Er combed her hair and praised,""Miss's hair is really beautiful. It's long and black. I'm so envious.”
Meng Yulou came back to his senses and smiled." What? How can you call me Miss?"”
"You should call her Young Miss. Just like Young Master Lu said, you look like an 18-year-old maiden who hasn't married yet.”
Meng Yulou smiled and rolled his eyes." You little girl, what did you learn from him?"”
"Miss, do you think that Young Master Lu can really make the High Scholar Shang unwilling to get married?" Xiu-Er asked.”
"How would I know?" Meng Yulou thought of the fierce look in Lu Yuanfei's eyes that he would occasionally reveal, and said,""I think he can do it."
"Yeah, I think so too. With Miss's qualifications, how could she marry someone like High Scholar Shang? Young Master Lu, on the other hand, was not bad.”Xiu-Er said.
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Meng Yulou turned around and glared at her.
"Alright, alright, Miss, I won't say anymore.”But after a while, Xiu-Er said,""If Young Master Lu can really help Young Lady resolve this matter, then we can give him a discount.”
"Are you asking for a beating?"
Meng Yulou raised his fist.
She looked angry on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart: "Young Master Lu hasn't married yet. I'm a married person, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of him.”
After dressing up, Meng Yulou bumped into Aunt Yang and Zhang Sishu, the people he didn't want to see.
Aunt Yang said,"In two days, it'll be an auspicious day. You can marry into the High Scholar's family on that day."”
Meng Yulou didn't have a good expression on his face. He said,"I've said it countless times. I'm not marrying. If you want to marry, you can marry.”
"What kind of attitude is that? How can you talk to your aunt like that?" Fourth Uncle Zhang asked. This matter had already been set. The matchmaker had already agreed on both sides. The date had also been set. There was no going back on it. Now, let's talk about something else.”
"Other than you, your brother-in-law is still in the Yang family. It's fine if you leave. You can't let your brother-in-law starve to death, so you have to leave him a sum of money. Yang Zongxi was the one who earned your money, so you should leave it to your brother-in-law.”
Meng Yulou's late husband, Yang Zongxi, had a younger brother. He was only ten years old and was still immature.
If Meng Yulou really wanted to get married, leaving some money for his brother-in-law would be out of kindness. No one could say anything if he did not leave.
It was obvious that Fourth Uncle Zhang was not doing this for his brother-in-law's sake. He wanted to use his brother-in-law's name to earn a sum of money for himself.
Now, the purpose of these two people was finally exposed.
She was just interested in the money in Meng Yulou's hands, so she went through all this trouble, not even caring about her face, and insisted that Meng Yulou remarry.
The two of them were waiting for Meng Yulou to get married and take a share of her assets. How could she let them have their way?
