Xu Cuirong couldn't believe that her niece, who had always been well-behaved and obedient in front of her, could say such words. When she was asked to come to the Yang family, she was overjoyed.
"Aunt, I'm engaged, as you know, so I really can't listen to you."
As Liu Yao spoke, she looked at Yang Zhao with tears in her eyes: "Sister Yang, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have listened to my aunt and said such lies just now. Please, let me go. I am innocent. I will never dare to do it again."
Liu Yao is not as stupid as Xu Cuirong.
It has come to this, and they are still saying that it doesn't count and that they should sue others. Why don't they think about the fact that the person in front of them is Duke Yang of Qi. If she really wants to make them slaves, then that is certainly possible.
Once the fingerprint is pressed.
If she really became a slave sold with a death contract, then it would be over, completely over.
"Sister Yang, Mr. Yang, I really know I was wrong. Please, forgive me..." Liu Yao cried with tears in her eyes.
Xu Cuirong was so angry that she almost died.
If she hadn't been caught by the old woman, she would have rushed up and slapped her: "You spineless thing, I'll punish you later."
Liu Yao ignored her and continued crying.
Yang Zhao looked at Liu Yao and finally raised the corner of his mouth: "Alright, since you don't want to, I can't force you. But you can rest assured, if you ever regret it, our Yang family... will always welcome you."
Liu Yao shuddered.
The next second, she shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no need, I, I will get married when I get back."
Yang Zhao smiled at her and then waved his hand.
The old woman immediately let go of Liu Yao.
As soon as Liu Yao was free, he quickly stepped back.
If she hadn't come with Xu Cuirong's carriage, she would probably have wanted to leave right now. Without the carriage, she couldn't walk back to the suburbs.
"In February, have someone take these two indentures to the government for filing." Yang Zhao tapped the indentures on the table with his fingers.
"Yes, Miss."
Eryue stepped forward and picked up the two indentures with fingerprints on them.
Xu Cuirong and Yang Minglin finally reacted.
Anxiety flashed across Yang Minglin's face. "Yang Zhao, what are you doing? I'm your uncle. You're not really going to take this to the authorities, are you? This is disgraceful."
Xu Cuirong couldn't help but raise her voice: "Yang Zhao, don't go too far. Aren't you afraid that I will let everyone know that you treat your uncle and aunt like this? If you get a reputation as an unfilial person, will Jin'er still be able to serve as an official?"
"Yes, forcing an elder to sign a contract to sell himself and allowing someone to detain him is treasonous. Aren't you afraid of being despised by the world? And implicating Jin'er?"
Yang Minglin also chimed in, looking at Yang Huaijin: "Jin'er, you've studied so hard for ten years and put in so much effort to get into high school today. Do you really want to watch your sister destroy the fruits of your hard work?"
"You should know how important reputation is to an official. If you are really implicated and accused of being unfilial and bullying your elders, how can you continue to serve in the court in the future?"
"The current emperor is a loyal and filial man."
"You have to think carefully. If you are labeled as unfilial, will the emperor really let you become an official when you take the palace examination? Your bright future will be ruined..."
"Okay."
Aunt Yang, who had been silent the entire time, couldn't stand it any longer. She slammed her hand on the table and glared at Yang Minglin and his wife, "You two really know how to play double game. What's the matter? Didn't you ask to come here to take care of the seriously ill old lady? Did you want to show your filial piety?"
"Don't forget that you severed your ties with the Marquis' Mansion long ago. Now you want to live in the Marquis' Mansion and take care of its affairs. If you don't sell yourselves to be slaves, do you want to be invited in as masters?"
"Who gave you the big face plates?"
"Second uncle and second aunt, they're not blood relatives, why are they pretending to be such big-headed elders?"
"Who are you threatening with your reputation when you keep calling him unfilial?"
"I tell you, the idea of having you sign the contract to sell your bodies today was given by me, an old woman. If you have the guts, go and sue me!" After saying this, Aunt Yang grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it at Yang Minglin.
"ah!"
Yang Minglin screamed in pain when he was hit.
Xu Cuirong saw this and angrily said, "You old thing, you..."
'Bang'
"ah!"
Xu Cuirong screamed.
The teacup that came out of nowhere hit his forehead and blood started flowing out instantly.
Yang Zhao slowly withdrew his hand.
This time, the smile on her face was gone. She stared at Xu Cuirong with a slightly cold gaze: "Do you know why you were able to continue to live under my grandfather's name after doing such a disgusting thing? And why weren't you kicked out?"
Yang Zhao stood up and walked up to Xu Cuirong.
Next second.
She slapped Xu Cuirong hard in the face. "That's because your mother, for you, a daughter who married out, personally begged my grandfather, kneeling on the ground with her head covered in blood, just to get you two fools forgiven and not be kicked out of the Yang family."
“Parents who love their children plan for their future.”
"You always say that a married daughter is like spilled water, and you look down on your daughters who marry out of your family. But your mother, for you, a daughter who married out of your family, disregarded her own dignity and knelt before your father-in-law to plead for an opportunity for you."
“What a pity…”
Yang Zhao leaned closer, looking at the stunned Xu Cuirong with a cold sneer: "No one will do this for you again."
What's the meaning?
Xu Cuirong was hit on the head and bleeding, and was slapped in the face. She was also stunned by Yang Zhao's words and did not understand the meaning of her words at all for a moment.
Until she heard Yang Zhao say.
"Grandpa, clan leader, kick them out of my Yang family tree."
What?
Xu Cuirong was stunned.
Yang Minglin was the first to speak in shock and anger: "What do you mean by kicked out of the family tree? Yang Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Didn't Second Uncle just say that you're the pillar of our family?"
Yang Zhao smiled faintly, "You are the pillar of the family, what is my father? This disloyalty is truly enormous. My grandfather left a will that if you, second uncle, harbor any disloyalty, we will kick his family out of the family tree and allow you to return to the family."
Yang Minglin's family name is also Yang.
He was a poor man on the edge of the clan branch. His parents died early and he was alone and helpless, so he was adopted that year.
Upon hearing this, Yang Minglin's eyes widened in anger. "Nonsense! Father never said that. You're just a girl, what right do you have to say you want to kick me out of the family tree? I'm your elder, and I haven't done anything wrong. You..."
"I'm just kicking you out of the family tree. Why is my daughter not qualified?"
At this time.
A rough voice came from the door.
