Chapter 254: Good fortune, a great thing with smoke coming out of the ancestral grave
"Shut up, you are crazy, I am not crazy!" Old man Xie scolded harshly.
Just because he is not crazy, I have to agree to it.
If they were scared away by the matter of burial alive, not only would Hong'er's reputation be ruined, but she would also get nothing.
You don't get to eat the mutton and you get into trouble. It's a losing deal.
Although he was reluctant to leave his daughter, he was even more reluctant to leave the money and future wealth.
If they were ruthless today and pushed Hong'er into Prince Ning's mansion, when Prince Ning passed away in the future, the royal family would owe the Xie family a life and would definitely compensate them well.
Giving him money and land are just small things. He might be given a small official position, and then he will become an official.
When he thought of that scene, Old Man Xie's face flushed and he looked full of energy.
It was as if the black hat was already on his head.
By marrying into Prince Ning's Mansion, the Xie family could be considered to have risen to great heights.
As for Hong'er, it is her blessing to be able to make such a great contribution to the family. How could she not be willing?
"Dad, are you out of your mind? You agreed even though they asked me to be buried with them?" Hong'er's face turned cold, and the joy she had just had was long gone.
Old man Xie scolded: "It is your blessing to be buried with King Ning!"
As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Feng Ming and Du Zhong, "This girl is ignorant. I will talk to her nicely and she will agree. Marrying into Prince Ning's mansion is a great thing that will bring glory to our ancestors. We are very willing to do so." His voice was full of flattery, as if he was afraid that Feng Ming would go back on his word.
Hong'er instantly understood that Old Man Xie was planning to sell her out.
She had known that he was greedy, but she had never expected him to be so greedy that he would even disregard her life for fame and fortune.
She immediately became furious, "I won't marry you, you can marry me if you want!"
This greedy father has always been obsessed with money. Now that she can no longer rely on him, she must plan for herself.
She came to Shengjing to live a good life, not to die.
Now that she has lost her life, no matter how much wealth and glory she has, it has nothing to do with her. She is not stupid enough to make wedding dresses for others.
Even if that man is her biological father.
He is unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust. She decided to quit!
She wanted to see how this old man could get married into the Ning Wang Mansion if she didn't want to.
"I want to go back, I want to..."
"Pa!" Before she could finish her words, Old Man Xie slapped her in the face.
Hong'er was stunned by the beating. She covered her face and looked fiercely at the man who beat her. "Okay, today you are determined to exchange me for money. I will never let you do that even if I die!"
"How could I give birth to someone as selfish as you? For our family, for your little brother, what's wrong with you making some sacrifices?"
"It's easy for you to say that. They want my life!" Hong'er was extremely disappointed.
Make a sacrifice?
He said it so lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter in his eyes.
"I have raised you for more than ten years, and now it's time for you to repay me!" Old man Xie said as a matter of course.
"Don't even think about it!" Hong'er roared with red eyes and rushed directly towards the old man Xie opposite.
Old man Xie was knocked to the ground unexpectedly. He didn't get up for a long time. He wiped his tears in front of everyone, "You rebellious girl! You wanted to kill me, you black-hearted person. I raised you for nothing."
Hong'er didn't even look at him and turned away.
How could Old Man Xie watch the wealth and glory he had obtained disappear? He ignored the pain in his body and hugged Hong'er's legs fiercely, "You can't leave! You have to marry today, whether you want to or not!"
"Let me go, you old bastard!"
The more Hong'er struggled, the tighter Old Man Xie held her. The father and daughter started fighting right in front of Prince Ning's mansion, which was shocking.
Regardless of whether the burial incident was true or false, the matter is now very clear.
They didn't know whether Prince Ning had really let the girl down, but judging from her words and actions, it was obvious that she was behaving in a mischievous manner.
It was clear that this father and daughter came here for money.
"Just because Prince Ning went to Yuhe Village, she is relying on Prince Ning. How shameless!"
"If that's the case, then Prince Ning passes by my house every day, so wouldn't my daughter have already been Prince Ning's Consort?"
"She's still a virgin, bah! How can a decent girl do such a thing?"
"That's right. Which girl would use her own reputation to spread rumors? This woman doesn't seem to be a good person at first glance!" Even the people who had just sympathized with Hong'er and her father couldn't help but scold them.
When Hong'er and her daughter heard the discussions among the crowd, they felt ashamed and annoyed.
It was a complete failure. Their plan was completely ruined. The two were about to leave in disgrace when a burly man suddenly appeared in the crowd.
He wore a sheepskin hat on his head and a tattered cotton jacket, and looked like a farmer on a farm.
Because he had a scar on his face and looked fierce, the onlookers subconsciously moved away from him, leaving a path for him. He easily walked through the crowd and came to the father and daughter.
Hong'er noticed a tall figure in front of her and looked up subconsciously.
When she saw the man's ugly face, her expression suddenly changed, and even her body shook reflexively.
"Why are you..." coming?
As soon as she opened her mouth, the man raised his hand and slapped her on the face.
Hong'er was knocked to the ground, with stars in her eyes.
After a long while, she still felt dizzy, even her ears were buzzing, and she seemed to have forgotten the burning pain on her face.
Old man Xie also showed panic on his face, "Um, Xiao Wang..."
“Pa!” The man didn’t waste any words. He slapped Old Man Xie in the face and knocked him to the ground. He then stepped on his face and crushed it hard on the ground. “You dare to cheat me without even asking about my reputation? Pay me back quickly, or I’ll kill you!”
"If you have something to say, let's talk it over nicely. First, take your foot away." After that slap in the face just now, Old Man Xie felt like his brains were shaking, and he could not withstand being crushed by him.
He smiled apologetically, looking at Hong'er who was lying on the ground, and said, "I, I just brought your wife to Shengjing to visit relatives, and I'll be leaving now."
Hearing this, the crowd was once again shocked, "Is this woman married?"
They thought of the virgin girl that Old Man Xie mentioned, and couldn't help laughing: "She's still innocent, could it be that her husband is not good enough?"
The scarred man shouted, "Bullshit, she's just a slut!"
Although Beigong You left at that time, the news of Hong'er seducing men spread, and no one in the nearby villages was willing to marry her.
Old man Xie didn't want to waste the cabbages he had grown, so he asked someone to arrange a marriage for her from afar.
That is the man with scar in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Hong'er was sent back home by him the next day, and he asked for the bride price, on the grounds that Hong'er had lost her virginity before marriage and was not a virgin.
It just so happened that Old Man Xie found out about Beigong You's identity, so the father and daughter decided to come to Shengjing.
They thought that once Hong'er married into Prince Ning's mansion, no matter how powerful the man with the scar was, he would have to suffer in silence.
Unexpectedly, he chased all the way to Shengjing.
What he didn't expect was that Hong'er's marriage into Prince Ning's mansion failed. This was the end of it.
"My dear son-in-law, let's talk it over nicely. After all, we are a family..." Old man Xie had to find a way to comfort the man in front of him.
"Who says we are a family? I gave you fifty taels of betrothal gift, but you gave me a pair of old shoes. Do you think I'm a sucker?" The scarred man picked up Old Man Xie from the ground like a chicken, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
At this time, the crowd watching the fun realized that the housekeeper and guards of Prince Ning's mansion had already returned home, and the bright red lacquered door was closed at some point.
Soon, several people dressed in yamen uniforms and carrying knives came and took away Hong'er, his daughter and the man with the scar.
For slandering Prince Ning and committing marriage fraud, this father and daughter will probably not escape jail time.
When Lin Miaoyin learned the news, she was already taking a nap on the soft couch prepared by Yuzhu and Xiaodie.
She only listened roughly and then waved her hand and stopped listening.
She was not interested in the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Yuzhu was about to say that Dingxiang was talking about something else, when she heard Dingxiang continue, "Yuzhu, Feng Ming is here to see you. He's outside."
