I fought back after reselling my engagement
Chapter 163 Matchmaking
What is the Ministry of Criminal Justice? It is the place where major cases and important cases are reviewed nationwide. The Reduction Department is the department that examines and reduces the punishment of prisoners.
"What has the Rong family done? Matchmaker, why not tell us."
This was said by Mrs. Yu of the Zhen family, and it was the eldest daughter of the Zhen family who asked her to mediate.
The eldest daughter of the Zhen family said she had evidence to threaten the Rong family.
In order to protect themselves, the Rong family had to marry her.
The matchmaker didn't know that this was what Yu's mother and daughter taught her to say.
Madam Rong said, "Someone, show the guest away!"
Is he here to propose marriage or to threaten someone?
The Rong family behaves in an upright manner and does not gather people to talk.
Send them away for the time being. She wanted to see what trouble those two lowly mother and daughter could cause.

Zhen Mansion.
Although Yu was not in charge of the household, she had a son and two daughters, and was valued by Zhen Yuan. Since all of Zhen Yuan's children were born to her, and one of them was Zhen Yuan's only son, she was still strong and respectable.
Zhen Yuan fell ill and had no one to take care of him, so Yu regained his favor.
But everyone outside knew that Yu was not the real wife, but the aunt and concubine.
With the old lady in charge of the household, life is as comfortable as a duck in water.
Originally, the eldest wife of the Zhen family lived a tight life, but with the old lady's financial support, they felt a little more comfortable.
The old lady decided to register the daughter of the third room, Zhen Rong, under Su Wan's name.
Usually, if a person is registered under the name of a deceased spouse, the spouse's family must be informed and approved. This was the old lady's statement to the outside world, but in fact, the family tree was not touched.
The old lady thought that Su Jingzhai was far away in Yueyang, so it would be enough for outsiders to know about it. No one would be idle, so she went to ask Su Jingzhai about the truth of the matter.
Because of this, the old lady only said that she wanted to prepare more dowry for Su Wan, and she managed to get three shops and a farm from the third wife. She only said that the third wife would be in charge of the house deeds and land deeds, and she would temporarily take Zhen Rong to take care of them, in case Zhen Rong found a husband in the future and was not able to manage the shops and farms.
The third wife was not happy at first, but then she thought that the one who benefited was her own daughter, and the old lady loved Zhen Rong for real, and loved her no less than herself. On the contrary, the documents were in her hands, so the old lady could just leave them to her if she wanted to take care of them.
The old lady had three shops and a farm, and she had more money on hand, so she had the confidence to manage the Zhen Mansion. Although Zhen Rong was young, she was quite capable in managing the shops, not inferior to the third wife. The old lady praised Zhen Rong for being born to be a treasure boy, good at making money and blessed.
The matchmaker entered the Zhen Mansion through a side door and followed the maid to Yu's bedroom.
"My dear Madam, I really lost face this time. Madam Rong kicked me out as soon as I opened my mouth."
As soon as the person entered the hospital, he started shouting.
Yu was sitting in the flower hall, with the sisters Zhen Zhen and Zhen Zhu sitting on her left.
Zhen Zhu held the teacup and picked up a piece of dessert in her hand.
Yu asked: "But according to what we said..."
"It was because I said that that Madam Rong kicked me out. I have no choice but to ask Madam to find someone else."
Madam Rong asked, "Which Duke's Mansion is the Zhen Family from?"
Anyone could tell that this was a sarcastic remark.
That's a marquis's mansion. When you proposed marriage in such a high-handed manner, people would have thought it was a duke's mansion. But it turns out to be the mansion of a sixth-rank official.
The matchmaker took out a five-liang silver ingot and said, "I can't take on your family's business. Goodbye—"
Too many words, too many mistakes!
The Rong family is an ordinary family. If there is really a problem, would the emperor allow the fifth prince to marry the Jiayi County Princess of the Rong family?
It's obvious that he is a royal relative.
The Princess of Chiayi glared at her several times. If she wasn't careful, she might even offend the future prince's consort.
The matchmaker is gone.
Zhen Zhen grabbed the handkerchief.
Yu sighed, "Threats don't work."
Zhen Zhu said: "Does the Rong family have a future consort for the fifth prince?"
If the emperor had not valued her, how could he have chosen the Princess of Jiayi as the Fifth Prince's Consort? Rongyin also has the Mu fiefdom. Apart from this person, only Zhen Su is in the limelight. But this person is far away in Yueyang, and her Mu fiefdom has nothing to do with the Zhen family, but it is a bargain for the Su family. It is said that the Su family is taking care of Qingdi County in the north on their behalf.
Zhen Zhen didn't understand why it didn't work. It was a serious crime of treason. Once it was discovered, the family would be confiscated and the whole clan would be exterminated. She wanted to marry Rong Wei, and Rong Wei and Su Sanniang's wedding date would soon be approaching. If she didn't cancel the engagement and the marriage was done, what would she have to do with it?
"Mother, please think of a solution for me. It won't be long before Su Sanniang will marry Prince Rong."
At the banquet, Zhen Zhen pretended to be Su Zhen, wearing Su Zhen's favorite outfit from head to toe. She fell into the water, and Rong Wei was fooled and jumped into the lake to save her.
That day, she was thinking that although the Rong family had ruined Su Zhen's reputation and spread the news that Su Zhen was a "softie", all the wealthy families felt that Su Zhen's personality was not suitable for being a legitimate wife, but the Rong family regretted it later.
Rong Wei later fell in love with Su Zhen.
A "softie" can decisively run away from home and travel thousands of miles to seek refuge with his grandparents.
Yu said: "If the situation were reversed, you are the daughter of a marquis, and Rong Wei is the son of a sixth-rank civil servant. If you lose your reputation, he will definitely come to your house to ask for marriage..."
What mother meant by this was to let sister destroy the Rong family, reverse their identities and status, with sister being the superior and Rong Wei being the inferior, and in this way the marriage could be accomplished.
Zhen Zhu said excitedly: "Sister, how about you hand over the evidence and let the Rong family be convicted..."
"You are crazy! If anyone believes it, it will be treason and the entire clan will be implicated. If we fail, we will be falsely accused and father will be implicated as well."
Even though Zhen Zhen had evidence in her hands, she didn't dare to act rashly.
As long as the emperor believes the Rong family, the evidence could be a false accusation.
Rong Yin was loved by the Queen, Princess Yuan and others, and was the future consort of the Fifth Prince.
Zhen Zhu couldn't think of a better way. "Can you still shamelessly make a scene, crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang yourself, so that the Rong family has no choice but to accept you?"
How could Zhen Zhen do such a shameless thing?
She didn't believe it.
Zhen Zhen thought of various ways, but the earlier evidence became a hot potato, and it was not in her hands, but in Zhen Yuan's hands. Since a few months ago, officials in the Ministry of Justice had been guarding against Zhen Yuan, and Zhen Yuan was also secretly excluded and suppressed.
If she wants to marry Rong Wei, there are only two ways: either to cling to him shamelessly or to threaten him with evidence.
Zhen Zhen chose the former, and after a lot of hesitation, she made a bold decision: to go to the Rong Mansion and cry, make a fuss, and even hang herself. As long as she was willing to lose face, she could even bring down the Prime Minister.
*
The next morning, Zhen Zhen got up, took a bath, changed her clothes, dressed herself up to look pitiful, and went to Rong Mansion with her maid.
"Rong Lang, Prince...you can't be so heartless, how can I live? My daughter's reputation will be completely ruined..."
Zhen Zhen was crying and wailing.
Her eldest daughter was crying beside her.
When someone who didn't know the truth asked about it, the eldest girl told the story of her eldest daughter and Prince Rong with tears in her eyes.
It only tells the story of De Rong and Zhen, who are a touching true love, and Su Sanniang, who suddenly appears and separates the couple.
