After the head of the Qin family came back, Zhou Yunshen took his family to have a simple meal here, and all the members of the Qin family went out together to see them off.
After the three carriages left, Lord Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared. I've been an official for so many years, and I've only seen the Marquis of Zhennan once from a distance. I never thought that one day we could sit at the same table for dinner and even chat. My heart almost jumped out of my mouth!"
Mrs. Qin: "You and him used to be superiors and subordinates, but now you're relatives. You'll have the chance to dine together in the future. If you're so cowardly now, what will you do in the future?"
Lord Qin touched his forehead, which was covered with fine beads of sweat.
He nodded quickly: "Madam is right, I am so useless."
Qin Taichu smiled and said, "Actually, I think the Marquis of Zhennan is quite easygoing. As long as we don't push our luck too far and don't offend my cousin, we'll definitely get along well."
The Qin couple nodded repeatedly.
They had no contact with Jiang Shuyue before, so they didn't feel comfortable approaching her.
After today's farce, they actually got to know each other, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
The Qin family closed the door and prepared to have two more drinks to celebrate this good day.
But the Wang family had a hard time.
As soon as the letter of severance came down, Wang Mian received the news that he was kicked out of the dock. Not only did he lose his iron rice bowl, but even the several boats he had were taken back by people under different names.
Wang Mian leaned close to the boss and smiled apologetically, "Boss Liu, I bought this boat and paid the dock dividends on time. You can't just take it away!"
Liu pushed the man away impatiently: "It's no use telling me this!"
"Now it's been discovered that not only were your five boats not legitimate, but three were taken by you through coercion and bribery, and two were used as cages, causing others to owe huge debts. Now they're all suing you, and I don't want to get into trouble, so you're on your own."
Wang Mian was almost in tears.
Although he made a lot of money over the years, he spent most of it, and a large part of it was spent on his daughter.
I just hope that she can marry into a good family and lead the Wang family to prosperity.
result……
"Evil beast!"
Wang Mian slapped Wang Shuang'er hard.
She just had a miscarriage today and is still very weak.
Now he was being helped out by Genji and two old maids.
Her body couldn't withstand the collision at all, and she fell to the ground with a slap from the net. She covered her stomach and twisted in pain.
Genji still loved his daughter. When he saw Wang Shuang'er being knocked down, he hurried forward to protect her.
"What are you doing? You're useless, and you're taking it out on your daughter!"
Wang Mian was so angry that he slapped Genji twice: "You have long hair but little knowledge. Why the hell did I marry a loser like you!"
"Do you know who you've offended? There are so many people in our family that he can't kill them all."
"Just wait, this is just the beginning. Sooner or later, our family will be finished!"
As soon as Wang Mian finished speaking, people from the yamen rushed in aggressively.
Genji protected Wang Shuang'er and hid behind him. Wang Mian had no choice but to force himself to smile and say, "Gentlemen, what brings you here at this time?"
Constable Chen said with a stunned look on his face, "You must be Wang Mian. We've received a report that you've been robbing people and taking their lives."
"W-where do I even begin to explain this? I can still explain the boat incident, but taking human life lightly...that's absolutely unacceptable!"
"Of course not. Didn't you almost cause the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan to have a miscarriage today? And you!"
Constable Chen pointed at Genji's face and said coldly, "You cursed the son of the Marquis of Zhennan and insulted his wife. You are committing insubordination. You will receive forty lashes of the cane. Execute immediately!"
Two yamen runners came over holding large boards with nails on them.
Genji was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"No, I didn't! We are relatives, and it was just a joke. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
The bailiffs all laughed.
"Bullshit, who do you think you are? How dare you try to be related to the Zhennan Marquisate!"
"Your daughter has been divorced and has now moved in. The Qin family has also severed ties with you, and now you have nothing to do with the Zhennan Marquisate."
"Besides, look at how many relatives His Majesty has. Who would dare to say that the prince and princess are bastards?"
"You are so bold that you dare to say anything."
Genji was forcibly dragged out by two yamen runners and pressed on a long bench.
The big board hit down mercilessly, and with the sound of crackling, Genji's skin and flesh were soon bloody.
Wang Shuang'er was already pale, and now she looked even more bloodless. She hid in the arms of an old nanny, not daring to even look at her mother.
Before the forty lashes were over, Genji had already fainted.
The yamen runners didn't want to cause any trouble, so they poured a bucket of water on Genji to wake him up and said, "We'll give you the remaining ten lashes when you're almost done. Wang Mian, come with us now."
Wang Mian knelt on the ground with weak legs, begging for mercy: "Brother, please be kind, I really didn't do anything. This is all this woman's fault. Just arrest her, don't arrest me."
Wang Mian kowtowed quickly.
Genji had woken up by this time, and when she heard her husband say this, a mixture of anger and resentment surged in her heart.
She roared at Wang Mian with all her might.
Wang Mian was only frightened for a moment, then immediately went to the yamen runners to beg for mercy: "This woman has done many unscrupulous things in order to get close to the rich and powerful. If you arrest her, you will definitely find out something."
Constable Chen smelled a hint of something major happening.
"Someone, take them both away."
"Wait, you can't arrest me! Girl, go find the Qin family, ask my son-in-law for help!"
Wang Mian was dragged out of the door and Genji was also taken away.
After taking the ship deed, the leader quickly left the Wang family.
Wang Shuang'er endured the pain and crawled to the door. She saw her parents being taken away with her own eyes. She cried and pulled the old woman, "Hurry, take me to find Qin Taichu!"
The old maid frowned and called two servants to take her back to her room.
Wang Shuang'er couldn't move herself. She roared angrily, "You bastard! You don't even listen to me now? I told you to prepare a car to take me to the Qin family. Didn't you hear me?"
The old woman said sarcastically, "Girl, you've been divorced by the Qin family. You've been consigned to a dish. We'll have no connection anymore."
"Before you came here, the Qin family even threw back your dowry and the copper basin you used. It's clear they want to draw a clear line between them and you. Why are you rushing in and embarrassing yourself?"
Wang Shuang'er didn't believe it: "Brother Taichu wouldn't do this to me! You must be lying to me!"
The old woman put the porridge at her bedside.
"Do you still think you're some rich girl? You're just the daughter of a nouveau riche. You should be well behaved, but you're so fickle."
"The servants in the mansion who can leave are all packing their bags. Our indentures are all in the Wang family, otherwise we would have packed our bags long ago."
"Just be quiet and stay here. Don't cause us any trouble!"
The old woman forcefully placed a plate of pickles in front of her.
A little sauce splashed into her face.
Wang Shuang'er was stunned.
