Ruifeng County Government Office.
Xue Wenju looked a little gloomy. He looked at the middle-aged man opposite him and said, "Brother Zhang, is this really necessary?"
Zhang Zhen sighed, "Brother Xue, I'm sorry, my family doesn't want Qianqian to marry into the family, so this marriage has to be cancelled."
"Today, I brought Zeshan here to apologize to you, Brother Xue."
Xue Wenju's face flushed. "My daughter is innocent. Those bandits just want money."
Zhang Zhen said: "It's good that she is innocent. She can marry a good family in the future."
That being said, no one would believe that Xue Qianqian was innocent after staying in the village for three days.
Nowadays, if you are captured by bandits and taken to the mountains, as long as you spend the night there, it is assumed that you have lost your innocence.
Xue Wenju heard the disdain in the other party's words, and clenched his fists in his sleeves. He had finally established a connection with the Zhang family. Once his daughter married, with the help of the Zhang family, he could be transferred from Ruifeng County.
I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Xue Wenju felt that his life was too difficult. Ruifeng County had a nice name, but it was actually very poor. Moreover, it was a marginal area of the Jing Dynasty and bordered the territory of the barbarians.
If the barbarians attack, Ruifeng County will be the first to suffer.
He has always wanted to transfer out of Ruifeng County, but he has no one above him. Now the connection with the Zhang family is also broken, which makes him feel very upset.
"This is my Zhang family's apology. I hope Brother Xue will forgive me. Zeshan, why don't you take out the things quickly?"
Zhang Zhen didn't care about Xue Wenju's ugly expression. How could a woman who was abducted by bandits become the daughter-in-law of a big family like theirs?
He came in person to cancel the engagement, which was already giving Xue Wenju enough face.
Zhang Zeshan, who was sitting nearby, took out a gold bracelet from the package and said, "I originally wanted to give this bracelet to Qianqian after she got married. Now that the engagement has been cancelled, it's useless for my Zhang family to keep it, so just consider it as an apology."
Xue Wenju said angrily: "I don't want it, you can take it away."
Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Xue, our Zhang family is not a family that does not know etiquette. Since you are here to cancel the engagement, you must apologize."
"Our intentions have been conveyed. If Brother Xue doesn't want it, you can throw it away. Goodbye!"
After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he and Zhang Zeshan stood up and walked outside.
Xue Wenju was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, but there was nothing he could do. In his heart, he hated Pei Yun who had abducted Xue Qianqian to the mountain.
…
Outside the county government office.
Xue Qianqian and Liu Yiyi were walking towards the county government office, with excitement on Liu Yiyi's face.
"Qianqian, I didn't expect this thing to be so useful. I never thought menstruation could be so easy and even allow jumping."
After saying that, he jumped up.
Xue Qianqian covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling a little superior. Although she was the daughter of the county magistrate, she did not have much money. Liu Yiyi's family was a scholarly family, and the things they used were better than Xue Qianqian's.
Now Xue Qianqian feels like she has made a comeback.
And all this was brought by Pei Yun. The two women have been together these days. Liu Yiyi pestered her to talk about the mountain village. After Xue Qianqian told her about it, she missed the life in the mountain village even more.
It also made Liu Yiyi curious about the village.
Xue Qianqian once mentioned to her mother that she wanted to take money to the village to see if she could buy something from Pei Yun, but she was scolded by Shen Rumei and never dared to mention it again.
After she gave Liu Yiyi sanitary napkins today, she used up one of the two packs of sanitary napkins that Pei Yun gave her. Liu Yiyi then instigated her to find Xue Wenju to see if he could send officials to take them up the mountain to buy them.
Xue Qianqian felt that there was no need for police officers, but Liu Yiyi was a little scared. Although she was curious about the mountain stronghold, the other party were bandits after all.
She is so beautiful, what if those bandits are attracted by her beauty?
She has a plump figure, so it’s better to let the police protect her.
When they arrived outside the yamen, Zhang Zeshan ran into the two women and Zhang Zhen who were just coming out.
"flourishing."
When Zhang Zeshan saw Xue Qianqian, his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that Xue Qianqian was different from before and much more beautiful, especially her hair, which was obviously different from the flat hair of Liu Yiyi next to her.
"Uncle, Master Zhang, why are you here?"
Xue Qianqian was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhang Zeshan to come. She had met Zhang Zeshan a few times, and she couldn't say that they had much affection for each other, but she just felt that Zhang Zeshan was a nice person.
"I came to look for you. I heard that you were kidnapped by bandits. I was very worried, so I came with my father to check on you."
The two had not seen each other since the drought began. When they suddenly saw each other at this moment, Zhang Zeshan was immediately moved.
"Qianqian, we have something else to do, so we'll take our leave now."
Seeing his son like this, Zhang Zhen knew that he still couldn't let go of Xue Qianqian, so he took him away.
"Dad, I like Xue Qianqian very much. Since Magistrate Xue said she is innocent, do you think it's okay..."
"No, since the engagement has been called off, forget it. Besides, you believed Xue Wenju when he said she was innocent. How can she be innocent after staying in the bandits' den for three days?"
Zhang Zeshan said: "I don't want to marry her as my wife, but take her as a concubine."
Zhang Zhen shook his head. "Xue Wenju is the county magistrate after all. He won't agree if you take his daughter as a concubine."
"Then it's not up to him. Let's spread the news that Xue Qianqian was raped by bandits. Who would dare to marry her? Didn't Xue Wenju want to rely on the power of my Zhang family to transfer out of Ruifeng County?"
"We'll come back when the time comes and promise him some benefits. I don't believe he won't agree."
Zhang Zhen stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Zeshan with satisfaction, "Zeshan, you have grown up. You can do this."
A smile appeared on Zhang Zeshan's face. Xue Qianqian was indeed a rare beauty. She could still maintain this appearance in this year of famine.
