"What?" The second master stood up in shock when he heard that Shangguan Zifeng was in trouble.
"Your Majesty, Second Master, the Ministry of Justice caught a habitual thief the other day. We chased the criminal into a small house and saw Master Zifeng having a tryst with a woman in bed.
This incident attracted the neighbors of the small house to come out and watch the fun.
The young commander who went to arrest people happened to be the nephew of Lady Ning'an Marquis.
This matter has been widely reported. "
When the Second Master heard this, he was so furious that he slapped the Second Madam in the face.
"Your good son has brought shame to the palace."
Second Madam Beibei couldn't lose her temper after receiving the slap.
"How could Zifeng do that? He must have recognized the wrong person. We betrothed him to the daughter of the Ning'an Marquis, how could he do such a thing?" The Second Madam didn't believe it at all.
Is your son not satisfied with such a good marriage? He is courting death.
"Brother, can I go see what's going on?"
The second master rode out of the house on his horse and went to the small courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper Li.
Ma Jun, the nephew of the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an, knew that Shangguan Zifeng was his cousin's fiancé. He could not let it go when he encountered such a thing, and immediately sent a subordinate to report to the Marquis of Ning'an's mansion.
When the second master died, Ning'an Marquis Yue Jinsong also happened to die.
"Relatives." The second master still wanted to get closer.
"Second Master Shangguan." Marquis Ning'an simply bowed his hand and walked into the courtyard.
Ma Junbei was guarding inside at this time, not giving Shangguan Zifeng any chance to escape.
The courtyard is not big, and only a master and a servant live here.
Ma Jun had asked several neighbors and found out that this master and servant moved in a year ago.
This shows that Shangguan Zifeng has been keeping a mistress for a year.
He is only nineteen years old.
The second master came in without looking at his son, and he felt a little lucky.
"Master Shangguan, your son is still inside." Ma Jun led the man to the door of the inner room very kindly.
Two officers were guarding the door.
The second master pushed the door open and saw his son sitting on a stool in dishevel, with a young and beautiful woman leaning on him.
With tears in her eyes like a frightened little rabbit.
As soon as he saw the second master coming, Shangguan Zifeng immediately knelt before him.
"Dad, I was wrong." It's a good attitude to admit one's mistake.
"You bastard." The second master kicked him.
He kicked Shangguan Zifeng and knocked him backwards.
"Young Master." The woman screamed in fear and began to cry.
The second master was an old hand in the world of pleasure, and he could tell at a glance that this was a prostitute's son, and he was used to pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy.
He also played with prostitutes, but never seriously. The concubines in his house were all girls from decent families, or they were raised from the maids in his house.
"Why don't you get out here and apologize to your future father-in-law." The second master was very disappointed with his future father-in-law.
When Shangguan Zifeng heard that Ning Anhou had also come, he was so scared that he didn't dare to go out.
As a result, he was pushed out of the room by the second master.
Shangguan Zifeng knelt obediently in front of Ning'an Hou.
"Master Yue, I know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment, but Mei'er is from a good family. Her father sold her to a brothel because her family was too poor. I felt sorry for her and bought her back and raised her here."
Shangguan Zifeng was also an idiot. He even had to plead for the woman in front of his future father-in-law at this time.
"In that case, take him home." Ning Anhou saw the real situation, left these words, and walked away.
The two children were left wondering what he meant.
Ma Junbei just snorted, withdrew his troops and left. After resigning from his post, he went directly to Ning'an Marquis's Mansion to ask for favor from his aunt.
When Ning'an Hou returned to the palace, he was so angry that he smashed several teacups like a woman before he calmed down.
The daughter he raised with great care was bullied like this, and before she even got married, her son-in-law dared to have a mistress.
How can such a man be worthy of being his son-in-law?
At this time, the lady came out from the inner courtyard.
"Master, is this true?" The Marquis's wife still had some hope, hoping that her nephew was mistaken.
"Humph, the Marquis said at the beginning that this marriage could not take place, but you insisted that it was a century-old royal palace and it was an honor for us to be favored. Look, this is the good family you favored."
"Master, I was blinded by my own ignorance, but why did you nod in the end?"
Both husband and wife are at fault, so no one should blame the other.
At this time, the old marquis's wife also came.
"Mother." The couple immediately supported the person.
"Boss, what do you think about this?" The old marquis's wife had lived a whole life, and she was so old that she could never bear to see such a useless son among the younger generations of nobles.
Which noble son would dare to openly keep a mistress, and before they even get married?
In fact, this matter can only be blamed on Shangguan Zifeng's bad luck, as he met Yu Yuzheng, a nosy person.
If she hadn't seen it, her affair wouldn't have been exposed.
When he's had enough fun, he'll send people away.
Shangguan Zifeng was just young and was bewildered for a while.
If in another two years, he has a position, something to do, and has experienced more things, he will understand.
He was not so far away as to confuse the status of the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion.
At this time Yue Yuying also came out.
"Dad, Mom, cancel the engagement. My daughter wants to cancel the engagement." Yue Yuying's attitude was very firm.
Marquis Ning'an glanced at his daughter, then at his mother and his wife.
The three of them were waiting for him to make a decision.
"Ying'er, if you cancel the engagement, it will be difficult for you to get married. What will you do in the future? Do you want to marry a peddler?" Ning'an Hou did not dare to cancel the engagement easily.
"How do you expect your daughter to marry a man who dares to keep a mistress before he even gets married?" Yue Yuying started to cry as she spoke.
"Ying'er, your cousin reported him this time. I hope he won't dare to do it again." The Marquis's wife also advised her.
"Ying'er, this engagement cannot be easily cancelled. That is the Rong Palace, and Shangguan Zifeng is, after all, the prince's nephew, and also the nephew of the Concubine Shu in the palace. He has learned his lesson this time, and he will live a good life with you in the future." The old marquis' wife also did not agree to cancel the engagement.
"Grandma, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. He has learned his lesson this time and will be quiet for a while. There is a saying that goes, 'A dog will always eat shit.' When I get married in the future, he will become unscrupulous again after a long time." Yue Yuying said with tears in her eyes.
"Men are all cats that love to steal fish. If you prepare a few maids for him, how can he have the energy to look for wild women outside?" The old marquis's wife wanted to persuade him again with the attitude of an experienced person.
"No, grandmother, if a man needs me to give him more women to keep him, such a man is not worth marrying. I want to cancel the engagement, I am determined to cancel it." Yue Yuying was determined to cancel the engagement.
"Hey, child, why don't you listen to advice?" The old marquis's wife was helpless.
"Mother, how about I go talk to the prince and hear what he has to say." Seeing that his daughter was so determined, Marquis Ning'an had to take a step back.
"Dad, if this marriage cannot be cancelled, I will die. I will never marry a scumbag like that." Yue Yuying expressed her attitude again.
This statement frightened the Marquis's wife.
