Chapter 220 Zhao Anping gets beaten
Seeing this, Zhou Shi spoke to herself. She felt that if she took Wu'an Marquis Zhao Anping with her to apologize to Princess Funing, her son's life would be saved: "Then Ping'er, let's go!"
Zhao Anping was really annoyed by this self-talking Zhou, and could only suppress the urge to roll his eyes, "Then mother, please let go first, it won't be good if someone sees us. We in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion are very particular about it, boys and girls under the age of seven do not sit at the same table."
Zhao Anping's words were almost like calling Zhou shameless.
Zhou had been an official's wife for so long, so she understood it, but she had no choice. It was her son who had harmed her, and she could not give up any hope.
But they really couldn't leave like this, so Zhou had no choice but to let go of her hand. When the three of them walked outside, Zhao Anping took advantage of the fact that Lord Jin and Zhou were not paying attention and slipped away.
Zhou could only shout from behind: "Anping, Anping, come back..."
Seeing the scrutiny from the people around him, Lord Jin could only hold back Zhou, who was still trying to chase Zhao Anping: "Forget it, this kid is slippery. If he doesn't want to, he probably won't speak up for Cheng'er when the time comes."
Zhou glared at Master Jin. She was very dissatisfied with her performance today: "Forget it, you only know how to say forget it. What should we do with our Cheng'er then?"
Lord Jin was really angry. He just wanted to take advantage of others all day long. Where could there be so many advantages to take advantage of? "How dare you say that? If you hadn't been gossiping about Cheng'er all day long, would Cheng'er have been in trouble today?"
"How can you blame me? Didn't my daughter come back and say that she's the head of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion and that Princess Funing listens to her a lot? If she hadn't said that, would I have planned to take action against Princess Funing?"
Talking about this matter, Zhou felt that she was also quite aggrieved. It was obviously her daughter's return that aroused their ambitions, but in the end the price was paid by Cheng'er alone.
Lord Jin didn't want to worry about who was right or wrong. He just wanted to rescue Cheng'er first. "Okay, there's no point in talking now. Go back and prepare some generous gifts. We'll go to Princess Funing's mansion to apologize later."
Mr. Jin and Mrs. Zhou brought a large cart of gifts and banknotes and went straight to the Princess Funing's residence. They thought of various scenarios for meeting and negotiating, but they never thought that they would not even be able to enter the door.
He was directly turned away by the gatekeeper of Princess Funing.
Zhao Lingmeng guessed that someone would come to see her today, so she directly ordered the gatekeepers not to see anyone, including the Marquis of Wu'an. So it was normal that Lord Jin and his men couldn't get in.
"Master, what should we do now?" Zhou was now truly anxious. It seemed that Princess Funing really wanted her son's life. At this moment, she even resented her daughter, the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an.
Lord Jin was also anxious. He saw his wife looking at him desperately. He stood there and thought for a moment, then ordered: "You take the gifts to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to find your daughter. Listen, you have to talk to her nicely, use the trick of self-torture to make her find a way to save Cheng'er. Don't act like your mother to her, do you understand?"
Zhou nodded with difficulty, "Don't worry, Master! I understand. Even if it's for Cheng'er, I can risk it all."
Lord Jin nodded and said, "I will go to the palace to find the emperor and hope that he can help us apologize, but don't get your hopes up too much!"
Zhou looked at Lord Jin, nodded, and ordered the carriage to go to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Anping slipped away from under the noses of Lord Jin and Zhou and went straight back home.
When he returned to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, he went straight to his mother Wei's yard. He thought his father would definitely come back and tell his mother as soon as possible, and then they would probably wait for him to come back to discuss the next step.
But when Zhao Anping entered his mother Wei's courtyard, the servants around him immediately saluted, and then his mother Wei immediately came forward and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhao Anping looked at his mother in confusion: "Didn't father tell you?"
"Didn't your father go out with you? Why did you come back alone? Where did your father go?" After asking, Wei deliberately looked behind Zhao Anping.
Zhao Anping was even more surprised when he heard his mother say this: "Father hasn't come back yet? He left before me?"
The Wei family wasn't worried about the old marquis's whereabouts. In Yuanjing, in broad daylight, who would dare to do anything to him? Besides, he was surrounded by people, all of whom were top-notch fighters.
Wei said indifferently: "If you haven't come back yet, tell me what happened first."
Although Zhao Anping was very worried about his father, seeing his mother so anxious, he told her the whole story from beginning to end.
After hearing what her eldest son said, Mrs. Wei was furious. She slammed the table and said, "The Jin family is really bullying us too much. They are bullying us too much. Well done to the Jin family, well done to the Jin family. And you too, you came back like a coward just because they bullied your sister?"
Zhao Anping looked at his mother with grievance. He did not even speak up for his father-in-law and the others. "Mother, you are wronged! There is no room for your son to perform there. You can't take your anger out on me!"
Wei didn't say anything, but turned around and went into the house, found a feather duster in the side room, and came out with it.
Zhao Anping thought Wei was going to beat his wife. Although his wife had caused a big disaster this time, he couldn't divorce her, so he quickly advised: "Mother, what are you doing? Calm down. If you beat Jin to death, the whole Yuan capital will laugh at our Wu'an Marquis Mansion tomorrow."
"Oh, why would I hit Jin? She is the daughter of the Jin family. I have no right to control her."
At this time, Zhao Anping had not yet realized that danger was approaching, and was still looking at Wei with a puzzled look.
Wei didn't care about this guy and just picked up the feather duster and started beating Zhao Anping.
Zhao Anping was not the type to just stand there and take a beating, so he prepared to run away.
Wei held a feather duster and looked at Zhao Anping with a half-smile: "If you dare to leave this courtyard, I will ask your father to remove you from the family tree."
Zhao Anping knew that his mother always kept her word, so he could only silently retract his foot and said, "Mom, I don't want to run away."
Then came Zhao Anping's screaming. The people serving outside felt a little bit sorry when they heard it. It was so miserable.
"Let you be a filial son and grandson to others!"
"You can't even take care of your own wife!"
"You bastard, your sister still calls you brother!"
…
Old Madam Wei was beating and scolding him. She was really almost mad to death at this guy.
Zhao Anping could only beg for mercy. He only hoped that his father would come back soon to save him.
And my mother hits me in the face. Oh my God, not only does it hurt, but I can't face anyone.
