The old man surnamed Pang has a chaotic private life, but most of the people in his backyard are slaves who have signed indentures to sell themselves.
The only people on the list were Pang Yungui's biological mother and a concubine he married into the family after her death.
All those beauties in the Pang family's backyard have no official status.
The master has absolute power over the life and death of the slave who has signed the death indenture and can dispose of him at will.
Those who disobeyed were often whipped at best, or even executed and their bodies left exposed in the wilderness at worst. This was also a common occurrence.
The story on the leaflet about old man Pang forcibly abducting men actually did not happen, because the deceived Luo Ying was also a slave.
But Luo Ying's indenture contract has always been in Ning Yuanchen's hands.
At this moment, he is in a difficult situation and can hardly save himself, so how can he have the leisure time to help others clear their grievances?
Marquis Wu'an looked at his eldest son kneeling on the ground and his heart sank.
He wanted to take out his anger on the Su family's dark horse. This was originally a trivial matter, but he didn't expect something to go wrong in the middle. Fortunately, it was easily resolved in the end.
But he never dreamed that after just two days of silence, such a scandal would be exposed.
"Did Mr. Luo really die at your hands? Were his children also murdered by you?"
Ning Yuanchen quickly defended himself, "Luo Wanqing volunteered. As for what happened to her brother, I didn't want to do anything about it. It was Pang who threatened me, so I gave Luo Ying to him. Don't worry, I have Luo Ying's indenture in my hands, and he can't cause any trouble!"
"Can't you make a big splash? What's the point of those leaflets that keep appearing? Why can Pang threaten you? What leverage do you have that he has? Tell me!"
Ning Yuanchen stammered, "On the night Luo Wanqing got into trouble, Pang was there too. Later, I, I drank too much..."
Marquis Wu'an was so angry that he kicked this useless thing to the ground.
"Who else knows about Luo Qinghuan's case?"
"My two men are at the farm outside the city. They probably don't know about this yet. Why not just do it once and for all..."
Ning Yuanchen looked fierce and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Marquis Wu'an was in a trance and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was extremely unfamiliar.
It seems real, but their behavior and character are completely different.
In fact, what Wu'an Hou didn't know was that Ning Yuanchen was exactly the same as that man in terms of appearance and nature.
The only difference between the two was their growing environment. One was born in poverty and ended up in a low-class profession.
Having experienced all the sufferings in the world and seen through the fickleness of the world, he is able to skillfully control people's hearts.
Ning Yuanchen, who had been pampered since childhood, had a smooth journey and never encountered any setbacks.
Even when the Marquis' wife had not passed away, Marquis Wu'an protected him very well.
It’s not entirely true to say that Ning Yuanchen was raised as a playboy.
But the troubles he caused one after another indirectly proved that this person was stupid and evil.
Marquis Wu'an knew that he could no longer shield him this time. Things were fermenting too quickly, and how could he manipulate public opinion at will?
If the emperor holds the marquisate accountable, I'm afraid he will lose his title.
Marquis Wu'an was in a dilemma. He had to think carefully about whether to abandon his chariot to save his king or beg for wine.
Let’s see if there is a way to have the best of both worlds, to keep the title of marquis and protect this troublesome son at the same time.
Marquis Wu'an left with a sigh, leaving Ning Yuanchen sitting on the ground in disbelief.
My father just said that if the Luo family appears as the victim, he should take the initiative to propose to Luo Wanqing.
I will never confess what happened that night.
Anyway, Luo Wanqing is unconscious, and Pang has something to ask for. Whether he can use this opportunity to control the other party depends on how strong his personal desire to survive is.
Ning Yuanchen felt inner torment and didn't know what to do. It was really true that one wrong step led to another.
He regretted that he shouldn't have provoked Luo Wanqing in the first place, otherwise all these things would not have happened.
It was just after the Chinese New Year, and the official media came to inquire about Ning Yuanchen's marriage.
He looked down on the people introduced to him because of their low social status, and the ones he thought were pleasing to him looked down on him.
Ning Yuanchen, feeling depressed, wanted to go to the racecourse outside the city to relax.
It was also there that he met Luo Wanqing, who was watching the Spring Horse Racing Festival with her sisters.
The gears of fate began to turn from then on, but it did not turn in a good direction. Instead, it crushed the innocent Luo family.
The old man from the Pang family and Ning Yuanchen were both in the whirlpool of public opinion. It was no exaggeration to say that the content of the leaflet attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, the emperor's attitude was even more ambiguous. He neither talked about thoroughly investigating the Pang and Ning families nor about arresting those who spread rumors.
Whether it is a rumor or not has not yet been determined, but allowing the rumor to continue to spread will definitely be detrimental to the stability of the situation.
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly, "Wait a little longer, just in case there's a fourth one!"
All the ministers were speechless. Does that mean you are also happy to watch the fun?
Sorry to disappoint you, Han Zeyu didn't prepare the fourth one at all.
Su Shien did prepare something, but it was not a leaflet to guide public opinion, but a complaint drafted for Luo Ying.
Luo Ying was very nervous and took the complaint and read it over and over again.
After a moment, Han Zeyu kindly reminded him, "This will be your fifth time reading it. It's just a few hundred words. Haven't you memorized them yet?"
To put it bluntly, he outlasted Tiezhu, a complete academic loser.
Luo Ying felt even more nervous after being reminded by him, and stammered, "The whereabouts of me, my mother, and my sister..."
Han Zeyu told him to relax, as long as Luo Ying showed up, Mrs. Luo and Luo Wanqing would definitely take action.
Luo Ying did not suspect anything and took the complaint back to his room to continue studying it.
