With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 137 How vicious!
The alley was different from the usual quiet.
Yu Tingwan just went out and heard the movement in front.
Without thinking, she knew it was the Liu family at the entrance of the alley.
Fortunately, the Wei family was far away, otherwise she would have disturbed Wei Zhaojing.
She was going to take a look at the prison.
I heard that the sentencing and conviction had already begun.
But there were too many people there, and she was afraid that she could not squeeze in.
But Yu Tingwan never thought that she could hardly get out of the alley.
There were more than a dozen matchmakers crowded in front of the Liu family. Each holding a stack of portraits. All were trying hard to promote the resources in their hands.
"Miss Liu, you can't delay your marriage any longer. These men are all good. I've been a matchmaker for half my life, how can I harm you? This is it. Take a closer look, isn't he handsome? He has a very good appearance. He is willing to marry into the family, and he also said that he will put you first in the future."
"Miss Liu, look at this one again. He has studied for a few years, but unfortunately his family suffered a disaster. He has no other requirements, just wants you to support him in his studies after he gets married. If he passes the exam to become a scholar in the future, you will be his wife!"
Yu Tingwan was blocked from the way, stopped, and looked over.
Those matchmakers squeezed each other, afraid of being robbed first.
I was... very envious.
When she saw him, Li Lian was not very supportive, and she had to urge him again and again.
"Get out of the way, don't you understand what I'm saying? Miss Liu said she doesn't like him, why are you still not leaving? Are you trying to force a sale? Miss Liu, look at what I introduced to you. This handsome boy is good!"
"What? You think he's too thin? Oh, it's because his family is poor and can't afford to eat. He's very strong, and he's also very sweet! When he moves into the Liu family, he can make you happy every day. If Miss Liu is satisfied, I'll call him over for you to meet."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She didn't know if Miss Liu was tempted or not.
Anyway, Yu Tingwan was quite tempted.
Really, a man's sweet words may not be reliable.
Wei Zhao is reliable, but he is irritating when he opens his mouth.
Miss Liu was already quite impatient at this moment.
"Yes, I am saying that if anyone helps the marriage, you will get a reward. But don't try to fool me with those cheap tricks."
"How many girls who marry into their husband's family don't care about their husband's family's face? Now I am recruiting someone to marry into my family, and I will feed and clothe him. They are gigolos. Isn't it normal to be sweet to me, show me courtesy, and serve me tea and water?"
Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?
Although this is ridiculous.
But it makes her happy to hear it.
For a moment, Yu Tingwan even thought that if Wei Zhao left and she didn't plan to go with him, could she...
"This one has a crooked mouth, this one has too big nostrils, and this one has a bitter face. Is he pretty? What's so pretty!"
"I want the kind that can amaze me at first sight."
At this time, Miss Liu looked through the crowd and saw Yu Tingwan, who was leaning against the wall and walking with difficulty.
She has always been picky, but she glanced at Yu Tingwan and her eyes fixed.
The girl is dark, but her facial features from the side are excellent.
Miss Liu found it pleasing to the eye.
"Hey, you are the one at the back, did you just move in?"
Yu Tingwan turned her head and looked over.
She nodded slightly.
Liu Yan: "Then help me see if these people are good-looking."
Yu Tingwan looked over.
None of them were burly.
She shook her head.
Liu Yan was recognized: "Yeah, you insist on asking me to pick these people. If you think someone is good, you can tell me."
Yu Tingwan thought she was too familiar.
The girl didn't like dealing with outsiders.
But she was kind-hearted.
"I did see a handsome man a few days ago."
She said it seriously and sincerely.
Liu Yan was suspicious.
But she felt that they were from the same alley and would not cheat him. At least she was more reliable than those matchmakers who only cared about her money.
"Then can you tell me about it?"
Liu Yan: "I am indeed not young anymore. If you can help a marriage, you will definitely accumulate merit."
Yu Tingwan: "I don't match people, and I don't know if that person is suitable for marriage. If you are interested, you can go and see. If not, don't take it to heart."
The family situation of the pork seller should not be bad.
"I think he or she will not be willing to marry into the family."
Liu Yan did not hesitate: "If she looks good, everything will be fine. Tell me."
So, Yu Tingwan politely left an address. Then she left.
The girl had no idea that her words would make all the matchmakers confused and look at each other.
"The third shop on Tong Street? If I remember correctly, it sells pork."
"You remember correctly! I went there to buy some yesterday! Who is she talking about? Does the butcher have a younger brother?"
"No, he is the only son."
"Then she is talking about the butcher? Oh, that fierce look scares me, and she actually said that. Isn't this cheating? Miss Liu, do you have a grudge against her? Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Liu Yan frowned tightly.
She looked at Yu Tingwan's back.
Very cheerful.
Thinking of Yu Tingwan's clear and watery eyes.
They are not smart, and they are the kind who can only be bullied. Unlike these crooked matchmakers.
She thought! The matchmaker must have said that on purpose! This obstruction made her give up the idea!
How vicious!
What's wrong with the butcher?
Maybe he is a handsome man!
Thinking of the delicate and weak man who had to show up in public to cut pork and chop bones, she felt very distressed.
Liu Yan thought, if it's done, she will definitely let Yu Tingwan sit at the main table!

Outside the prison cell.
The jailer brought out a criminal, and He Xuran sentenced him. Fu Meng
, who was lying on his stomach, was wagging his tail leisurely. He flicked He Xuran's leg. He Xuran lowered his eyes and took the time to feed it a piece of dried meat. He flicked it again. He Xuran fed it another piece. Except for the cases with doubts, the process was very fast and there was no delay. The people all stood quietly, without any noise, for fear of disrupting the order and affecting the judgment. Listening to He Xuran's death sentence one by one, there was only hatred and the pleasure of revenge in his eyes. Yang Weiwen stood behind He Xuran and saw the complaint paper of Xiao Niang that He Xuran was holding. A confession fingerprint had been pressed on it. He and the Wei family were acquainted, and he was also very sad about Xiao Niang's experience. When sorting, he deliberately put the complaint paper in the front position before presenting it to He Xuran. Finally, it was his turn. When dozens of members of the He family were brought out, their faces were ashen and covered with scars. They had been tortured beyond recognition, but they were still hanging on to their last breath. They were all trembling with fear as their children cried. Where was the domineering momentum they had in the past? Yang Weiwen, however, did not show any reluctance. He bowed to He Xuran, who was at the head of the group, and then stepped forward and looked down at the He family. "Since you admit that you killed the person, I have to ask you a few questions." "Why did you kill the woman from the Wei family, whose son was docile and pregnant?" The He family looked at each other. Yang Weiwen: "Speak!" He's mother trembled: "Xiao Niang is good, but her family is poor." "I have long been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, but my son fell in love with her beauty, so I had to agree to let her in." Yu Tingwan, who had arrived, heard these two sentences and his face completely sank.
