Chapter 4: A slap on a dog relative, I feel relieved
"What!"
Crash!
Prime Minister Su stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered!
Everyone in the Su family was also shocked:
"How is that possible!"
"Don't talk nonsense, the prince said in person that he wants to marry Yu Rou as his principal wife!"
"What's going on? You might as well tell the truth!"
The butler said:
"I saw the team heading towards the Yun Mansion from afar, so I went to ask around. According to the people present, Yun Qingqing threw herself into the river to force a marriage, but failed, so she tore up the marriage certificate on the spot and said that she had no relationship with the Crown Prince anymore..."
"If that's the case, then why did the betrothal team go to the Yun Mansion!" Su's mother interrupted sharply.
The servant quickly explained:
"Madam, please listen to what I have to say... I have confirmed with many people present that after Yun Qingqing tore up the marriage certificate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly chased after her. Not long after, the Crown Prince's betrothal gift team went to the Yun Mansion."
"What... is going on?" The Su family members looked at each other with different expressions.
Su Yurou’s face turned pale and her hands were tightly wrung together.
Yun Qingqing tore up the marriage certificate, and the prince actually went after her? He really couldn't let go of that woman!
No, the position of Crown Princess can only belong to me, I absolutely cannot let that bitch snatch it away!
Mother Su gritted her teeth and said:
"Yun Qingqing is the descendant of a meritorious official. The prince must be afraid that if someone dies, he will lose the support of the people, so he has to turn to the Yun Mansion to propose marriage! Master, you should think of a solution quickly. Now everyone in the capital knows that the prince wants to marry Yu Rou. What should we do now!"
"Okay, stop yelling. Women just can't keep their temper!" Prime Minister Su frowned.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"The engagement between the Crown Prince and the Yun family has been annulled. It was the Emperor who gave the order. Yun Qingqing's actions today were clearly a violation of the order!"
Mother Su's eyes lit up:
"That's right! Master, take Yu Rou to the palace and ask the emperor to severely punish the Yun family. See if she dares to make trouble again!"
Prime Minister Su nodded:
"Yu Rou, you should go with your father to see the emperor!"
Su Yurou nodded obediently, lowered her eyes and followed him, with a cold light in her eyes.
Regardless of whether the prince still has feelings for that ugly girl, this hidden danger must not be allowed to remain!
She must be eliminated as soon as possible!
…
The Prince Regent wanted to go back to his mansion to change into wedding attire before proposing marriage, but Yun Qingqing went back to the Yun Mansion first.
As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted with a wave of sarcastic sarcasm:
"Hey, where did this ugly freak come from? We in the Yun family would never do such a shameful thing as seeking death or forcing marriage!"
Yun Qingqing frowned and looked over. The one who spoke was the second wife, Madam Liu. The other people in the Yun residence were almost all there. Old Master Yun was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.
"How dare you come back! You have brought shame to the Yun family!" Second uncle Yun Zhiping also frowned and scolded.
Yun Qingqing chuckled and looked at the two of them:
"May I ask Uncle and Aunt, do you know what happened today? Why do you say that I brought shame to the Yun family?"
"How dare you talk back!" Yun Zhiping became even more angry, pointing at her nose and saying, "Bai Lian has already confessed to us that you sneaked out early in the morning just to stop the prince, and even planned to force a marriage by jumping into the river! If that's not the case, you should explain clearly why you are covered in water!"
"Oh——" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Bailian.
Yun Bailian looked terrified and said sincerely:
"Sister, I have long advised you that it is meaningless to do this and it will only make the prince hate you even more, but you insisted on going. I was so worried when I saw that you were not coming back, and I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I told you..."
Bang!
Yun Qingqing rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped Yun Bailian in the face.
"Have you tried to persuade him? Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue rubbed when you're full of lies?"
As Yun Bailian covered her face with her hands in shock, Yun Qingqing said in a cold voice:
"It was obviously you who deliberately told me that the prince wanted to propose to Su Yurou today, saying that he had no choice but to do so, but in fact he still had me in his heart!"
"It was you who came up with the idea of throwing yourself into the river to threaten the prince with death, and you also said that this would definitely change the prince's mind!"
"Huh? You're worried about me? I think you're worried that I won't die and my reputation won't be ruined!"
In the main seat, Mr. Yun, who had been silent and gloomy, heard these words and his eyes became sharp. He looked at Yun Bailian:
"Is what she said true?"
Yun Bailian immediately burst into tears out of grievance:
"How could I do such a thing? I don't know how I have offended my sister that she would frame me like this..."
"That's right! Everyone has always seen what kind of person we are, Bai Lian!" The second wife glared at Yun Qingqing angrily, "I think you are clearly trying to escape punishment..."
Bang!!
Yun Qingqing slapped the second wife again with her backhand, making her face swollen.
"How dare you say that? Don't think I don't know that it was you who came up with the idea of letting Yun Bailian instigate me! I happened to pass by when you two were discussing in the small room, and I heard it clearly!"
The original owner knew that the mother and daughter had no good intentions, but she wanted to settle things with Xiao Zirui face to face, so she took advantage of the situation and left. She had planned to break off the engagement and then confess to her grandfather after returning, but she didn't expect to lose her life.
"You, you dare to attack your elders, this is simply outrageous!" Yun Zhiping did not expect Yun Qingqing to be so bold, and he was furious.
Bang!!!
Yun Qingqing turned around and slapped Yun Zhiping in the face!
"And you! You are disrespectful to your elders and have allowed your wife and daughter to bully us widows and orphans for so many years. Just because my mother doesn't care doesn't mean I don't care!"
"Have you forgotten that the title of Marquis Zhenyuan was earned by my father with his life!"
"You are lying on my father's corpse and enjoying the benefits, and you are also trying to squeeze the marrow out of us mother and daughter. You have been eating and drinking from us for so many years, how dare you act like an elder here!"
"I want to ask you, where did my father's pension and my mother's salary as a first-rank lady go?"
Yun Zhiping had never expected that Yun Qingqing, who had always been quiet and introverted, seemed like a different person and actually brought up so many old accounts in public. His old face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
After Yun Qingqing slapped him three times, she felt her chest lighten. The heavy resentment that the original owner had felt since traveling through time had been dissipated a lot.
It was worth the effort she put into making a divination before entering the room. Today, there were no taboos and it was a good time to bring up old scores and slap people in the face!
It feels comfortable.
It was the Second Madam who reacted first, and she said,
"Stop changing the subject. We are talking about the embarrassing things you did today. You should give an explanation!"
"You blocked the prince in public and threw yourself into the river to force a marriage. You were the one who did it. But you insisted that someone else instigated you. Did someone threaten you with a knife and force you to jump into the river?"
Yun Qingqing glared at the Second Madam, and she shrank back in fear, fearing that she would get another slap in the face.
Yun Zhiping also came back to his senses, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
It seems that this girl's previous cowardice was all an act. Now that she feels she has grown strong enough, she actually wants to ride on my head!
He said sharply:
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules! Yun Qingqing, you only care about yourself and have brought shame to the Yun family in front of the whole city. This is a fact!"
"Your father passed away early. As an elder, what's wrong with me taking care of and managing his inheritance? Your mother didn't say anything. Why are you the one to make a comment?"
"Today you actually attacked your elders. This is treason and you deserve severe punishment! Today I will use the family rules to discipline you on behalf of your father, so that you won't make a big mistake in the future that will bring disaster to the entire family!"
Listening to his confident words, Yun Qingqing's hands started to itch again.
