Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 785 This is your young lady’s engagement letter
Those people were not panicked at all. Instead, they took out a big red invitation card and waved it, saying confidently:
"Look! What is this? This is your young lady's engagement letter!
It has her birth date and place of origin written on it. We've already exchanged it with your family, so this marriage is a done deal!"
Others also took out their invitations and echoed in unison:
"Yes, yes, yes! We also have the engagement letter! What's going on with your Bai family?
How can you do things like this? You want to marry your daughter to several families? "
Bai Wanwan stood on the steps and smiled slightly. "Oh? Since you both have engagement letters, then tell me, who in our Bai family made the decision to arrange this marriage?"
The matchmaker who had interrupted immediately responded:
"Of course it was your father who made the decision! Your father told me so himself.
He said he had long had his eyes on our young master, and that he had already made the final decision on the marriage!
Bai Wanwan suddenly laughed softly:
"My father? Which father are you talking about?
My father is still guarding the northwestern frontier and has never even stepped into the gate of the capital.
Could it be possible that he could arrange several marriages for me from thousands of miles away?"
"Who knows what your father is thinking! Anyway, he has promised you to us, and your Bai family must give an explanation today!" Someone shouted with his neck stiffened, his tone full of arrogance.
Bai Wanwan's eyes turned cold, and she shouted loudly: "Report to the police."
After a while, a group of soldiers rushed over with knives and quickly surrounded the rioting crowd.
The leading officer quickly walked up to Bai Wanwan, bowed, and asked, "Sir, what case do you want to report? Please state it clearly."
Bai Wanwan raised her hand and pointed at the noisy crowd below, her tone cold and emotionless:
"Arrest them all and bring them to the government office for torture.
First, we need to find out who spread my birth date and time. The key is that the birth date and time above are all fake.
Secondly, I need to find out whether these people, who came to my house with fake engagement letters, were trying to blackmail me or were they being directed by someone else.
The Dali Temple Minister swung his right hand down fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Catch all those involved in the case!"
A housekeeper said anxiously:
"This birth date and horoscope was given by Bai Wanwan's father himself!
They also praised Bai Wanwan as a fairy, saying that she was as beautiful as a flower and her family was extremely wealthy, so we believed it!
I am from the Yongning Earl's Mansion..."
Someone next to him immediately echoed:
"That's right! You Dali Temple arrest people without any reason. We will file a complaint with the emperor now!
I am the grandson of the General Guarding the Nation, and my cousin is the Eastern Palace Groom. How dare you touch me?"
Another young man in a moon-white robe followed suit, saying, "I am Erlang, the son of the Minister of Rites. If this matter comes before His Majesty, who among you will bear the responsibility?"
Amidst the chaos, someone else said:
"We are victims too! My family has prepared a betrothal gift of 100,000 taels to marry Bai Wanwan.
He even pawned the jade ruyi passed down from his ancestors!"
"One hundred thousand taels is nothing. My family can only scrape together twenty thousand taels, and that's all we have!"
Some even beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying:
"My family is outrageous! To show our sincerity, we directly prepared 500,000 taels of silver.
How can our family survive like this?"
The neighbors who were watching could no longer hold back:
"Hey, this Bai family is too dishonest!
"After accepting so much betrothal gifts, this kind of thing happened. It's really laughable!"
The person next to him immediately spoke up, his tone full of contempt:
"That's right! Even if someone in your family is an official in the court, you can't cheat the people out of their hard-earned money like this!
How is this different from robbing? "
Lin Zao Zao walked out of the crowd wearing embroidered shoes, with a playful tone:
"Sister, I never thought you would end up like this.
How could we do such a ridiculous thing? Isn't this just asking the people to poke our backs?"
The Dali Temple Minister bowed and said, "May I ask, Your Excellency the Governor, how should this matter be handled?"
"Governor?"
Someone hurriedly lowered their voice and asked, "What governor? Why have I never heard of such a person?"
The other person immediately came over to explain, his tone full of shock:
"The Governor is a second-rank official!
In charge of the civil affairs and taxes of a province, who is the governor here?"
Bai Wanwan cleared her throat and said solemnly to the Dali Temple Minister, "Take them away first and interrogate them separately. We must find out who is behind this and then make a decision."
She turned to look at Lin Zaozao, who had a red gold and kingfisher feather hairpin in her hair and a gold-woven jacket and skirt embroidered with lotus flowers.
He exudes nobility, and even his walking posture has a sense of superiority.
Bai Wanwan's tone turned colder: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Zao Zao raised his eyebrows, a mocking smile on his lips:
“Of course I came here to see my sister’s joke.
I didn’t expect that Miss Bai, who was once so glorious, would end up in such a situation now.
If you really need money, why not tell me and I can help you out a bit."
Bai Wanwan sneered:
"So do I look like someone who needs help?
Even if I am in prison now, it is not your turn as an outsider to pretend to be sympathetic.
Similarly, if you are not doing well, I will just stand by and watch.
I heard that you haven't been having a good time in the Sixth Prince's Mansion recently. The Sixth Prince's wife is no ordinary person! "
Who doesn’t know the origin of the Sixth Prince’s wife?
She is the legitimate daughter of the great general who guards the country. She was raised in the general's mansion and was pampered since she was a child. She was already arrogant by nature, and she had the final say after entering the Sixth Prince's mansion.
The first person she wanted to deal with was Lin Zaozao.
At first, Lin Zaozao wanted to swallow her anger and pretend to be pitiful to gain some sympathy, but the Sixth Prince's wife didn't buy it at all.
Relying on the overwhelming power of her mother's family, the Sixth Prince had to give her some leeway. How could he take Lin Zaozao seriously?
Whenever the Sixth Prince's wife was unhappy, she would take her anger out on Lin Zaozao, or she would deliberately find fault with her when she was taking care of the sick and punish her by making her kneel in the cold wind for two hours.
No matter how unhappy you are, do whatever you want.
Lin Zao Zao's face turned pale. "How did you know about the situation in the Sixth Prince's Mansion?"
Then the Sixth Prince's wife came over and said, "Wanwan, oh! It's been a long time since we last met."
Bai Wanwan chuckled and said, "He Jiaojiao, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?"
He Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Of course I'm living a good life, but it's not as good as you. I didn't expect you to become an official, and a second-rank official at that."
Lin Zao Zao suddenly said, "You...you two actually know each other?"
The smile on He Jiaojiao's face faded a lot, and her eyes were full of contempt:
"You are so ignorant. I am the descendant of a military general, and Wanwan's father is General Huo. Our two families are military friends for generations, so how could we not know each other?
You idiot, what are you doing hanging around here for? "
