Chapter 266: Forced Marriage Consummation
[Feng Shuangyi's memory is confused, with dreams and reality intertwined. He seemed to have heard 'Your Majesty's decree must not be disobeyed' and 'The situation is critical and there is no time to lose'. I started to check when I saw him just now, but until he left, many things were still unclear. 】
The system's baby voice was very tired, so Su Qianqian told it not to continue. There would still be time for further analysis when Feng Shuangyi was willing to speak out. At least being able to confirm Feng Shuangyi's identity was already a pleasant surprise.
After the Qin family entered the city, the soldiers who followed them returned to the military camp. Marquis Jinyang glared at his two sons with a cold face and escorted them back to the mansion.
【I see! Prince Zhou actually wanted to propose to the second wife, but was beaten up by his father. His father also warned Zhou Jingnan not to stick to the third lady anymore and to find a suitable family as soon as possible, marry and have children to carry on the family line. When the two refused to obey, they were locked up and forced to marry. 】
The system became a little more energetic and started to eat melons.
[Forced marriage...is this easy to do? It's possible to force a wedding, but who will carry out the forced marriage consummation? Marquis Jinyang, as an old father, is also worried to death! 】
Su Qianqian questioned those four words.
Qin Hanzhang: You worry more than the Marquis of Jinyang...
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the road. Su Qianqian lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw a group of people beating gongs and drums while walking and shouting:
"The eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, Qi, has built a charity hall to take in homeless people, an orphanage to take in orphaned children, and a soup kitchen to repair houses. Anyone who needs it can sign up!"
"clang!"
"Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion..."
Qi Mincheng followed behind personally, his face turning blue from the cold, his clear snot about to flow into his mouth, he sniffed hard, shivered and continued walking.
[Appointment...] Su Qianqian and the system spoke at the same time and quickly lowered the car curtains.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Qianqian went back to Tinglan Courtyard first. Qin Hanzhang took Feng Shuangyi and placed him in the courtyard of his study, which was the place with the strictest guards in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Madam, today the second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a letter in, and she told me to give it to you."
Su Ye took out a letter box, the mouth of which was sealed with red mud.
Su Qianqian changed her clothes and sat down, opened the mud seal and took out the letter. It turned out to be a letter asking why Qin Hanzhang had not given up the power to send troops.
[There's no such thing as pie falling from the sky. It only drops traps. However, this trap is too crude. I really don't want to jump into it. It's simply an insult to my IQ and a slander on my eyesight! 】
Su Qianqian placed the letter next to the charcoal brazier and burned it.
In the evening, word came from Fu Shou Tang that everyone should have their meals in their respective courtyards today.
Qin Hanzhang did not return to Tinglan Courtyard that night. He sent Shi Yan to report to him, and he stayed in the study and slept.
Su Qianqian didn't take it seriously and just went into the space to take a look at some concentrated Chinese medicine that she had extracted.
Just a small pill of this concentrate can be equivalent to a dose of medicine. She needs to stock up more. As long as she can get through this year safely, even if she succeeds in surviving the tribulation, all possible risks must be avoided.
Even if an accident happened and she was really exiled, she must have enough food and drink and be free from illness and disaster.
Fang Youan's case will be heard in the Dali Temple tomorrow. Su Qianqian has packed up and gone to bed early, ready to participate in the trial with full energy.
But for some reason, I woke up after just a short sleep. I always felt like something was missing and my hands felt empty. I tossed and turned, so sleepy that I kept yawning and crying, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I only fell into a drowsy sleep at midnight.
At the beginning of the morning, Su Qianqian, with dark circles under her eyes, was helped up by Su Mu. She was helped into the bathroom with her eyes closed to wash her hands, and then was helped out to eat with her eyes closed.
Qin Hanzhang, who was sitting in the dining room and also had dark circles under his eyes, couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Qianqian unable to open her eyes. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and pulled the brocade stool beside the table towards him, letting Su Qianqian sit down.
Su Qianqian tried hard to pry open her eyelids, then tilted her head and leaned on Qin Hanzhang's shoulder and closed her eyes again. Because she was wearing a moon-white midi dress, a bun on her head with a jade hairpin, she looked like a sleepy little scholar who didn't want to go to school, and she leaned on her brother's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child.
The girls couldn't help but giggle.
Qin Hanzhang sighed. If they didn't have dinner, it would be too late to go to court. He could only tap Su Qianqian's forehead and said, "Wake up. Do you want that wolf claw to retract in the case of the Dali Temple?"
"Huh? No, chop off the wolf's claws!" Su Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head, using her hands to gesture as a knife.
"After you finish this case, find a chance to retire. Being an official is really hard." Qin Hanzhang served her a bowl of porridge, with some heartache in his eyes.
"Yes, work... is so tiring..." Su Qianqian muttered while drinking porridge. Qin Hanzhang didn't hear clearly what she said and picked up a piece of pickled winter bamboo shoots for her to eat with the porridge.
After breakfast, the two went out separately. Su Qianqian took Xue Ke Dianfeng and went straight to Dali Temple. Now Dianfeng is the symbol of "Su Qian". As long as it appears, everyone will look for Lord Su, and no one will stop it no matter where it goes.
Dianfeng jumped into the gate of Dali Temple. Xue Ke was worried that it would run around and get into trouble, so he chased it closely. It became even more proud, and Xue Ke had to hold on to the pillar to catch his breath.
"Do you want to visit the dog meat shop?" Su Qianqian said coldly. Dianfeng seemed to be under some kind of spell. It retracted its wagging tail and followed Su Qianqian happily. It was so well-behaved that it didn't seem like the same Dianfeng at all.
In the back hall, Su Qianqian and Lord Zhuang went over all the evidence again. Lord Zhuang was very experienced in the pace of trying cases, and all that remained was to see how to pull out the wolf's claw.
This case seemed like an ordinary murder case, but the lobby of the Dali Temple was already surrounded by crowds of people. Even Madam Su II, wearing a veil, stood in the crowd and stretched her head to look into the hall.
Fang Youan, looking haggard, was taken to the lobby.
"Fang Youan, why did you kill Liu Zi? Tell the truth." After asking the routine questions, Lord Zhuang went straight to the point.
"Sir, if I had not been desperate and was doing business, why would I commit murder?
Liu Zi used the Wanwu Shengcai Club to trick the villain into investing ten thousand taels of silver. That was all the villain's savings, and he also had a lot of borrowed money. He said that if it was gone, it was gone.
When I asked for it, my eldest son's legs were broken, causing my Jinsheng to die of depression. Jinsheng's mother left me and my young child and hanged herself. My lord, didn't Liu Zi deserve to die? ”
Fang Youan had no regrets when talking about Liu Zi, and he still hated him to death.
"Fang Youan, who broke your eldest son's leg?" asked Lord Zhuang.
"That Liu Zi said he was the president of the Wanwu Shengcai Association. I only saw his back at night, but he just waved his hand. My son, my son..."
Fang Youan recalled the situation at that time and could not continue speaking. He covered his face and cried, and the shackles on his hands jingled.
"You said Liu Zi is the branch leader of the Wanwu Shengcai Society. After investigation, I found that seven people have been sued by members like you. Bring them to court!"
Lord Zhuang gave the order in a dignified manner.
