Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Without waiting for Mr. Meng to speak, Fan Xiliang, who thought he was a member of the Meng family, stepped forward and questioned the intruders: "Who are you and why did you break into a private house?"

The leader looked Fan Xiliang up and down, and instead of answering, he asked, "Are you Fan Xiliang?"

"I am Fan Xiliang, I will not change my ways-----"

Before he could finish his words, the man waved his hand back and shouted, "Catch him!"

The people rushed over and pushed Fan Xiliang, who was half-opening his mouth to speak, to the ground, and shouted, "Fan Xiliang, you dared to escape corvée labor, and we finally caught you!"

Mr. Meng jumped up from his chair and said, "Hey, gentlemen, Fan Xiliang is already my son-in-law. We can pay the tax exemption and he doesn't need to perform corvée."

Mr. Meng was a well-known figure in the town, so the yamen runners naturally did not dare to treat him like they did to Fan Xiliang.

"Mr. Meng, do you have relevant documents?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Mr. Meng turned around to look for Yuanbao, but Yuanbao stood there with his head down, not moving.

"Ingots?"

Before Yuan Bao could speak, Gu Li stepped forward and said, "Father, the marriage certificate is with my daughter."

Gu Li glanced at Huaping, who pinched her sleeve pocket and took out something that she had kept close to her body for a day and a night.

The marriage certificate was taken away by the yamen runners before Mr. Meng even had a look at it. The yamen runners sneered after only glancing at it, "Oh, it doesn't count without the official seal of the government. Mr. Meng, let's take the person away first."

Mr. Meng was a little confused. Yuanbao had clearly come back yesterday and said that the marriage certificate had been stamped and filed with the government. How come he now said that there was no stamp on his daughter and son-in-law's marriage certificate?

Mr. Meng wanted to say something, but Gu Li held his arm and said, "Thank you for your hard work, officials. Can we take him back after we go to the government office to stamp the official seal? After all, we have already started the banquet."

"Of course. We are also following the rules." It just depends on whether they can send people to serve faster or stamp the official seal faster.

The government office is closed today, and by tomorrow, Fan Xiliang will be on the list of corvée labor.

Once you are on the list of corvée labor, who cares whose son-in-law you are? They have taken great pains to complete the population task assigned by the government office.

Gu Li nodded and pulled Mr. Meng aside.

The yamen runners asked their brothers to pick up Fan Xiliang, who had been pinned to the ground and unable to speak for a long time, and then walked out. "Excuse me, everyone, please continue. We are leaving now!"

The groom has been taken away, how can they continue?

No one noticed that the bailiff looked at Gu Li very briefly before leaving, and then left.

The change came too suddenly. Even if Fan Xiliang had not been gagged, he didn't know what to say. He just cast a hopeful look at Meng Yuanwai.

But Mr. Meng had no time to visit Fan Xiliang at this moment. He was pulled aside by his daughter to appease the guests at home.

Fan Xiliang looked at Miss Meng, who had been calm and composed from beginning to end. This woman who was supposed to be his wife, seemed to have never even looked at him straight in the eye from beginning to end.

It was as if he had expected this scene to happen. He faced everything calmly and calmly. Even when he was talking to the clerk in the office just now, he was calm and composed.

Fan Xiliang's heart skipped a beat and he almost came back to life in one breath. This shouldn't be like this.

He vaguely realized that he, the son-in-law, would be abandoned by the Meng family because the young lady of the Meng family did not take him seriously at all.

He thought that both he and Cai Qing were wrong.

What allowed him to stay was not the appreciation of Mr. Meng, but the love of Miss Meng!

Fan Xiliang suddenly searched for Cai Qing in the crowd. At this point, the only one who could mediate for him was Cai Qing, who had always liked him!

But until Fan Xiliang was escorted out of the Meng family's yard, Fan Xiliang had not seen Cai Qing, with whom he had once shared joys and sorrows.

The groom, one of the protagonists, was taken away by the bailiffs, so no one had the heart to sit here and eat.

Meng Jiangnu's wedding ended abruptly before it even began. Not only did everyone know that Meng's daughter failed to marry her husband, but they also learned from the officials that Meng's marriage had not even passed the government seal.

The wedding of the Meng family's daughter was simply a joke, and Meng Jiangnu was still an innocent unmarried girl.

What a deal.

The villagers had no intention of staying to watch the show. They comforted Mr. Meng with a few words and then left early.

When most of the people in the yard had left, Mr. Meng, regardless of the mess in the house, took his daughter back to the house and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

At this time, Mr. Meng had come back to his senses. After all, he was a well-known figure in the town. The yamen runners should not have been so disrespectful and harsh in arresting people as they did today.

Either Fan Xiliang had offended someone, and the yamen runners had been specifically told to do so; or-----

"Don't worry, father. Let me tell you slowly."

Gu Li helped her frightened mother up and went into Meng Yuanwai's study with him, "Yuan Bao, come in too!"

"Yes." Yuanbao followed in reluctantly, and Huaping went in with him.

The distraught Cai Qing had not yet recovered from the shock of Fan Lang being captured when she discovered that she seemed to have been disliked by the young lady.

She stood alone in the empty yard, thinking carefully about what had gone wrong.

She was also startled when the yamen runners broke in just now. In order to avoid being exposed, she hid behind the large lotus vat on the side of the house.

But when she found out that the runners who broke in were real officials, she didn't even have the courage to leave.

Why would real bailiffs come to arrest people? Fan Lang hid for such a long time without being discovered, so why was he discovered at such a critical moment?

Someone must have informed on this.

who can that be?

And there was the marriage certificate that could exempt Fan Lang from hard labor. Why was such an important thing not stamped with the official seal?

How does Yuanbao actually do things?

Little did they know that they wanted to use the Meng family to exempt Fan Xiliang from military service, and some people also wanted to use Fan Xiliang's identity as a husband to avoid the possibility of being forced into marriage by the official media.

Everyone is just taking advantage of each other.

As for who will have the last laugh, Gu Li can only say that it all depends on one's own ability.

When Cai Qing and Fan Xiliang were plotting to seize the Meng family's money outside, Gu Li did not stop them at all. She just did something along the way.

"Father and mother, this is what happened. Fan Xiliang and Cai Qing wanted to steal our Meng family's money. How could I let them succeed?"

Mr. Meng was still a little confused. "Are you saying that Fan Xiliang knew the girl Cai Qing who served you from the beginning?"

"Well, Huaping can testify to this."
