Chapter 5: Marriage fraud, dowry fraud?

On the other side, Prince Song and Miss An were deeply in love with each other, while here Miss Chu was heartbroken and crying, which was a sharp contrast.

far away.

The prince was also slightly startled, and a rare hint of interest appeared in his usually calm and cold eyes.

I didn't expect to see such an interesting thing while passing by.

Liu Guang looked at His Highness's pale face, stepped forward with some concern and spoke softly.

"Your Highness, we should leave."

The emperor and the cabinet ministers are still waiting for him, and the poison will take effect either today or tomorrow, so they have to be careful.

"No rush."

As the prince spoke, he looked at the suddenly weak figure in the distance with tears in his eyes. This Miss Chu must be plotting against him.

really.

She held the two marriage certificates and asked Song Jinhuai in fear and anxiety.

"The marriage certificate between you and her is fake, right?"

Song Jinhuai hugged An Yinyin tightly and said coldly.

"Of course it's not fake. The marriage certificate was approved by my father and mother. I wrote it myself. Chu Jiuning, there's no point in making a fuss anymore. Why don't you just listen to me? Yinyin will be my wife, and you will be my concubine. How about the three of us getting married together?"

After hearing what she wanted to hear and seeing their smug plans, Chu Jiuning slowly wiped the tears from her face. The wind lifted her long eyelashes, revealing a pair of cunning eyes. After a while, she spoke coldly.

"No! How! What!"

With both witnesses and material evidence, there's no doubt we won't be able to bring this couple to justice!

Turn your head.

She talks to Amber.

"Since this is the case, I have no other options. Please go to Shuntian Prefecture to ask for Lord Li. I want to report the case."

Amber turned around and was about to leave, but Song Jinhuai was suddenly stunned. He was confused by Chu Jiuning's sudden change of expression, but he realized in an instant that he might have fallen into a trap. He was horrified and rushed forward to stop her.

"Chu Jiuning, how long are you going to be crazy?"

Finished.

Song Jinhuai turned around and shouted to the servants in the Song Mansion.

"Mrs. Chu has gone insane. Hurry and bring her in and have the doctor see her."

The servants of the Song family immediately surrounded Chu Jiuning.

Next to the carriage.

Shen Liuguang looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince nodded. Shen Liuguang immediately shot out the hidden weapon in his hand.

"Ouch."

Lord Li of Shuntian Prefecture, who was standing in the crowd watching the excitement, jumped up, touching his buttocks which felt like they were burning. The crowd quickly retreated. Lord Li's eyes rolled around, and he quickly straightened his expression and stepped forward to speak.

"I'm here. There's no need to go to Shuntian Prefecture. What case do you want to report?"

Lord Li was terrified. It was clear that someone had hit him with a hidden weapon just now. They must have wanted to push him out to seek justice. If he didn't do anything, the other party was in the dark and he was in the light. It would be very bad.

"Meeting, Lord Li."

Chu Jiuning bowed and presented the two marriage certificates to Lord Li.

"Since Lord Li has been here all this time, I believe he already knows what happened. Please take a look at these two marriage certificates."

An Yinyin clenched her long fingers and stared at Lord Li. If there was no problem with the marriage certificate, then there was no problem. If there was a problem, then it was a big problem.

This marriage certificate was not approved by Duke Song and his wife at all. It was written by her at the request of Song Jinhuai when he wanted her body.

The Duke disliked her poor background and refused to let Song Jinhuai marry her, so she desperately tried to seduce Mr. Song Jinhuai to give birth to a son and consolidate her position.

"If you want to tell the difference, An Yinyin's is in front and yours is in the back."

Lord Li raised the first point and Chu Jiuning nodded.

"That's correct, and both An Yinyin and Song Jinhuai acknowledged that their marriage was approved by their parents, so please, Lord Li, help me check whether it's true."

"Yes, I will check."

As soon as Lord Li finished speaking, Song Jinhuai winked at the servants. Chu Jiuning glanced at Amber, and the servants of the Chu family also rushed forward, blocking the way of the servants of the Song Mansion. Lord Li also gave orders.

"Go in and ask Duke Song and his wife if the marriage certificate between Prince Song and Miss An is true."

The bailiffs went in quickly and came out quickly.

"Your Excellency, Duke Song and his wife said that Miss An has given birth to all the children for the Song family, so it's normal to have a marriage certificate."

Song Jinhuai and An Yinyin showed joy on their faces again. With the help of their father and mother, Chu Jiuning had no way to deal with them this time.

Once they entered the mansion, they would definitely capture Chu Jiuning, seize all her property, and then cut her into pieces.

Chu Jiuning looked at their faces, turned around and saluted Lord Li, her voice sounding like ice.

"Lord Li should know that my grandfather spread the word two years ago that I only want to be the principal wife and never a concubine. So when the Chu Mansion and the Duke's Mansion formed a marriage, it was naturally for the principal wife."

Everyone nodded as they listened. Many people came to propose marriage that year, and Old Master Chu issued a notice stating the requirements, which they had all seen.

"There are two marriage certificates now, and I am the latter. This is enough to prove that the Song family is a marriage fraud. Lord Li, I want to sue the Song family."

Lord Li subconsciously wanted to push it away, but his butt felt cold, so he nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, I will take the case!"

In the carriage.

After hearing Chu Jiuning's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at her again, like a hunter looking at his prey, and the deep meaning in his eyes suddenly sank.

"How about a fraudulent marriage?"

Chu Jiuning continued to ask, and without the need for Lord Li to answer, the young men who wanted to be Chu Jiuning's concubines shouted.

"Cancel the engagement, apologize, go to jail for three years, and pay triple the dowry. I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion can't afford it."

Chu Jiuning smiled immediately, stretched out her hand, and a petition written on the spot appeared in her hand. She handed the petition to Lord Li.

"Sir Li, what just happened has forced me into a corner. I can't help but suspect that the Duke of Song's family is trying to trick me into marriage. Their goal is to take away my millions and even my life. I think... I absolutely dare not enter into this marriage."

"Yes, this marriage definitely cannot be concluded."

"He had already given birth to a son, yet he still tricked someone into his home and killed him. How despicable."

"The Duke's Mansion must be attracted by her money, otherwise why would they marry into a merchant family?"

Angry scoldings kept coming into his ears, and some people even picked up eggs and threw them at the door of Duke Song's mansion.

Chu Jiuning looked at the people who helped her, seemed very moved, and choked up.

"It turns out there are so many righteous people in this world. Jiu Ning has no way to repay them. From now on, when you buy things from my Chu family's store, everything will be half price."

Said.

Chu Jiuning bowed to them and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

This scene made the people's emotions suddenly rise, and they looked at the Duke of Song's Mansion with disgust and jealousy.

An Yinyin and Song Jinhuai were stunned by Chu Jiuning's series of actions.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the servant immediately turned around and rushed in. After a while, Duke Song came out quickly with a gloomy face.

As soon as he saw the petition in Lord Li's hand, he said anxiously.

"etc!"

"Duke."

Lord Li bowed, and Duke Song suppressed the anger in his heart and put down the petition in his hand.

"You can't accept this case. There's a misunderstanding."
