Zhao Jiao was her adoptive mother, and from a moral standpoint, Su Ruojin could not deny that she had arranged a marriage for her.
If the other party insists on not breaking off the engagement, taking it to the authorities won't help.
However, based on his understanding of Ah Jin, he knew she definitely had a backup plan, and he probably wouldn't need to intervene.
Su Ruojin casually took a sip of tea, her face showing no sign of panic: "When I told Yanluo to go to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint, I didn't mean to scare them. Shuntian Prefecture will definitely file a complaint."
Zhao Jiao, as the wife of the county magistrate, was familiar with some of the procedures of the government office. She could withstand the questioning from the Shuntian Prefecture and not change her story, but could Yao Zhangshi withstand it?
After Su Ruojin said that, Xiao Yanchu understood.
The engagement was arranged by Zhao Jiao after Su Ruojin was kicked out of the Lin family, so it doesn't count. Since Madam Yao Zhang revealed the truth, the so-called engagement is naturally invalid.
Yao Zhangshi was born and raised in Yuzhou. She was a bully at home.
This was her first time in the capital. Given her experience and courage, it was only a matter of time before she confessed to a government office like the Shuntian Prefecture.
Moreover...
Su Ruojin added, "Zhao Jiao forgot a very important point."
Xiao Yanchu wasn't in a hurry to ask Zhao Jiao what she had forgotten. Looking at Su Ruojin, whose eyes were full of mockery, he raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "So you did it on purpose?"
Su Ruojin clearly went to report it to the authorities on purpose; otherwise, if she had said this earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "We can't let someone do this to us for no reason."
Impersonating someone else's parents and forging marriage certificates will be a serious matter for Zhao Jiao and Yao Zhangshi.
Setting down her teacup, Su Ruojin stood up: "It's almost time. It's time to go see a good show. There's no need to trouble the people from Shuntian Prefecture to invite us."
Xiao Yanchu also stood up: "Ajin, could you wait for me to change my clothes?"
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu in confusion: "Where are you going? You haven't eaten yet."
Even for a minor case, if the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture saw the Regent Prince present, one wonders what he would think.
Xiao Yanchu said nonchalantly, "I'm not hungry."
Okay, so he's also a show-loving guy.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to say to Hu Qing, "Have some snacks for the Prince."
"Yes, Miss Su." Hu Qing hurriedly followed her master to change her clothes.
After Xiao Yanchu changed his clothes and left the mansion with Su Ruojin, they happened to see the yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture coming to invite someone.
The yamen runners hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Xiao Yanchu nodded: "Get up. Miss Su and I will head to Shuntian Prefecture now. You may go back first."
The constables all breathed a sigh of relief. They had been a little apprehensive when they heard that they were to come to the Regent's Palace to invite someone over. What if the Regent's Palace refused to release the person?
It is good news to hear that Miss Su is willing to go to Shuntian Prefecture on her own.
When the Regent's carriage arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, Zhao Jiao was brought along as well.
After saying goodbye to Lin Wanqing, Zhao Jiao returned to the inn and learned that Yao Zhangshi and Yao Qingfeng had been taken to Shuntian Prefecture, leaving two yamen runners to wait for her at the inn.
That wretched girl actually dared to sue the authorities.
However, with Lin Wanqing's previous analysis, Zhao Jiaoxin is no longer flustered. She will teach this little bitch a lesson in court later.
