Chapter 418: County Magistrate Shu persuades his daughter to break off the engagement

In Qinghe County, the villa of Shu Mingzheng and Shu Mingzong.

When Magistrate Shu learned that his eldest daughter was going to marry that poor country boy on March 18, he went to the house to persuade her several times in person and came again today.

How could Shu Jing'an's daughter marry a country farmer?

This made him too embarrassed to return to the imperial capital.

Besides, life in the countryside is so hard, facing the earth and working hard. How could Zheng'er bear it?

“Zheng'er, Gu Qingshan is just a country farmer who has not received much education and must be very rough. He also has no family background and cannot protect you at all. To put it bluntly, he is just a country bumpkin who is not worthy of you at all! You should listen to your father and cancel the marriage as soon as possible. I have asked your grandfather to find a good family for you in the imperial capital,” County Magistrate Shu stood in the yard and advised with a concerned look on his face.

Shu Mingzheng snorted coldly, his tone was particularly sharp: "Grandfather? In my eyes, he is not worthy of being my grandfather. How can an old ungrateful wolf who took advantage of his first wife and favored his concubine and killed his wife find a good family for me? They are just a bunch of shameless rats who are fickle, selfish, ungrateful and ungrateful!

And you! You are a heartless man who married a concubine and caused his first wife to die of depression. What qualifications do you have to say bad things about Gu Qingshan?

Gu Qingshan is eight feet tall and handsome, his appearance is no worse than those pretentious young men from noble families!

Although he has not entered college, he can read and write, and understands the truth! He is strong-willed, responsible, kind-hearted, and most importantly, he promised to be with me for the rest of my life and never take a concubine!

Although he is a farmer's son, he is simple and sincere, and I also like rural scenery. If we get tired of staying in the countryside, we also have the ability to buy houses in the provincial capital or the imperial capital!

The most important thing is that he doesn't mind my ruined appearance, he loves me, respects me, cares for me. If I don't marry a man like this, then why should I marry you and my grandfather, who only see the smiles of new people and don't hear the cries of old people? "

County Magistrate Shu’s expression became increasingly gloomy.

He didn't expect that his father was an ungrateful old man in Zheng'er's eyes, and he was a heartless man.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Men's oaths are unreliable."

"You are quite self-aware." Shu Mingzheng glanced at him with a sarcastic look on his face. "Gu Qingshan is not as hypocritical as you and your son! One of the Gu family's mottos is that men cannot take concubines. Gu Qingshan also signed a prenuptial agreement. If he has an affair in the future, takes a concubine, takes a concubine, or keeps a mistress, all his property will belong to me. Do you and your son dare to sign such a contract? Does the old Shu family, which is full of corruption, have such a family tradition?"

County Magistrate Shu was speechless. Shu Mingzheng made a gesture to invite the outside and said calmly: "You can go back. The mother and her two children are waiting for you to go back and pamper them. Please don't worry about Zong'er and me. We have been without a father for many years. Now we have grown up and don't need him anymore."

County Magistrate Shu felt a lump in his throat. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"Oh, by the way, don't cause trouble for the Gu family. They will never cancel the engagement unless I ask them personally. You have also seen that force cannot threaten them," Shu Mingzheng added coldly.

When County Magistrate Shu returned to the Shu Mansion, he was in a depressed and irritable mood and did not go to Gao's yard.

Gao's mother and daughter were also discussing Shu Mingzheng's marriage.

Shu Hongxue glanced at Gao, rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, Shu Mingzheng's wedding will be in three days."

Gao was enjoying a shoulder massage by a maid, closing her eyes. Upon hearing this, she curled her lips in disdain: "I think this marriage is great. The daughter of a county magistrate is marrying a country bumpkin. Haha, it won't be us who will be embarrassed if the news gets out."

Shu Hongxue twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Even so, we can't let that bitch get married happily. We'd better make things difficult for her, so that the Gu family will think she is unlucky and won't treat her well in the future. Or, make her lose face so much that she won't dare to go out and see people in the village in the future."

Gao Yunxiang opened her eyes and said solemnly, "Xue'er, this marriage is just what I want. Shu Mingzheng must marry a lowly peasant. She will never be able to make a name for herself in her life and end up being a vulgar and lowly peasant woman! I warn you, don't mess this up. If you mess up this marriage, where can I find another lowly peasant to marry her? Besides, your brother's incident happened not long ago. If you cause any trouble again, be careful that your father will punish you!"

"Mom, don't worry, I'm not stupid. Even if I want to do something, I won't do it myself, so they can't find any evidence against me," Shu Hongxue smiled meaningfully, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

"As long as you understand," Gao closed her eyes again.

Humph, Shu Mingzheng is really a disappointment. Every girl would try her best to marry in the imperial capital, but she found herself a country bumpkin who is not presentable.

With that kind of identity, if I go to the imperial capital in the future, I will definitely be laughed at.

The old man probably wouldn't even let them in the door.

However, Shu Mingzheng was already a 19-year-old girl, and with her ugly face, it would be difficult for her to marry into the imperial capital.

I was really smart to destroy that little bitch's face early on.

Shu Mingzheng was a beauty when she was young. When she was eight years old and Hongxue was three years old, her family went to the provincial capital to attend a banquet hosted by the prefect. As a result, the ladies at the banquet all said that Shu Mingzheng was much more beautiful than Hongxue.

Listening to those words praising Shu Mingzheng, she gnashed her teeth in anger.

After returning to Qinghe County, while Shu Mingzheng was sleeping at night, she asked the maid to push over the hand warmer on the bedside table.

The red-hot charcoal in the hand warmer fell right on Shu Mingzheng's face, scalding it.

No one in the Shu residence knew that she was the one who did it. County Magistrate Shu and Shu Mingzheng even thought that the cat had accidentally knocked over the hand warmer.

She also sold the maid to another place.

When she thought about how Shu Mingzheng had lived with an ugly face for eleven years and had been laughed at by countless people, she felt extremely happy.

In order to humiliate Shu Mingzheng, since Shu Mingzheng was fifteen years old, she always introduced Shu Mingzheng to families who paid great attention to appearance. When those families heard that Shu Mingzheng was disfigured, they were very disgusted and would inevitably say some harsh words, and she always found a way to make those words reach Shu Mingzheng's ears.

The little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, cried secretly many times.

She felt really happy listening to the little girl crying.

After getting rid of the past in her mind, Gao sighed in satisfaction and said to the maid, "Go and massage my feet. My feet are tired."

"Yes, ma'am," the maidservant immediately knelt down beside the stool and massaged Gao's feet.

Shu Hongxue wanted to discuss with his brother how to deal with Shu Mingzheng, so he didn't stay in Gao's courtyard for long.
