The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

After returning home, he immediately told his father and mother about this.

As he spoke of this, he was feeling rather smug. Being the future brother-in-law of the prince, he was now very prestigious.

I wanted to agree on my father's behalf right away.

But after hearing this, both my father and mother's faces changed drastically, and soon afterward they married into the Shao family.

Yue Lei didn't understand why the Fifth Prince was abandoned and the Third Sister was married to an ordinary official family instead.

He forgot that he was just an official.

My mother told me that Shao Wanqi is the son of a princess, and the family backgrounds of the two families are compatible.

Bah, he is the princess's son, and the fifth prince is still His Majesty's son.

Originally, he had no say in his sister's marriage, so he let it go. The betrothal gifts had been paid, and the matter was half settled.

Later, when he went before the Fifth Prince again, the brothers who were originally close to him also became indifferent.

There is a lot of sarcasm in the words.

"The Yue family is so arrogant that even the Fifth Prince looks down on them. If they look down on us, why do they still want to associate with us?"

Yue Lei scratched his head and explained, offering wine and gifts to apologize, and even taking money to play with them, and finally got a good look from them.

"Brother Lei, don't blame us for telling you. Even though the Fifth Prince didn't tell us, we've been with him for so many years, and it's obvious that he has feelings for your sister. We warned you last time, but the Shao family snatched your marriage away midway."

As they spoke, someone else chimed in, "Originally, everyone was so happy that you could become in-laws with the Fifth Prince, but now... forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I just hope the Fifth Prince doesn't take his anger out on you. For the time being, you should stay out of his sight."

Everyone kept saying that they were "considerate" of him, leading him to believe that it was the Shao family who snatched the marriage, so the Yue family missed the opportunity to marry the fifth prince.

Yue Lei drank too much and got drunk.

As luck would have it, after the banquet in the morning, he was alone in the inn, full of regret.

After sobering up a little, he felt more and more that it made sense as he went out. He was very annoyed and saw that Wang Qianer had bad intentions. He wanted to find someone to vent his anger and ran into Shao Wanqi head-on.

When Yue Lei saw his future brother-in-law, he could not help but think of the Fifth Prince. If his third sister had married the Fifth Prince, those followers would never dare to treat him like this. They would be respectful when they saw him. If they angered him, the Fifth Prince would definitely not forgive them.

The fifth prince used to be very friendly with him, but now he doesn't even want to see him.

Yue Lei was becoming increasingly annoyed. Seeing Shao Wanqi taking the initiative to let Wang Qianer go, he was furious and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be my master?"

Shao Wanqi was dissatisfied, but when she smelled the alcohol on him, she thought he was still drunk, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Wait another half a year, and we'll be a family. By then, you'll have to call me brother-in-law. Brother Lei, you've had too much to drink. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal at Baiweilou to sober you up."

As Shao Wanqi was about to help him, Yue Lei pushed him away and slapped him on the arm.

The slap was merciless and Shao Wanqi felt his forearm go numb for a moment.

"Bah, what brother-in-law? Are you worthy? If it weren't for you, the Fifth Prince would have become my brother-in-law. Who the hell are you? How can you compare yourself to a prince?"

The more Yue Lei spoke, the angrier he became. He recalled the day when Shao Wanqi's mother came to his house and talked to his mother for a long time. He went to eavesdrop secretly. That princess coaxed her mother into losing her mind and agreeing without hesitation.

Correct!

It was his mother's fault. If his mother hadn't come to visit, his third sister would have been the fifth prince's wife.

Being drunk, he said those words without thinking.

"If your mother hadn't been so servile in asking for marriage, my third sister would never have married a loser like you."

Shao Wanqi's face gradually darkened. Could it be that his future wife had some affair with the Fifth Prince? Hearing Yue Lei insulting his mother, Shao Wanqi clenched his fists.

"What did you say?"

Seeing him like this, Yue Lei felt very pleased.

"I say, if your mother hadn't come to you with such a flattering face to ask for marriage, my third sister wouldn't have..."

Before he could finish his words, Yue Lei was punched in the face.

Yue Lei stepped back and was caught by the servant behind him. His lips twitched in pain.

"You still dare to hit me? Believe it or not, our family will cancel the engagement immediately. Shao Wanqi, a loser like you, still wants to marry my third sister? You are dreaming."

Shao Wanqi didn't know the inside story. Seeing Yue Lei like this, he didn't want to bother with him any more. The important thing was to go back and find out what happened.

"Please."

Shao Wanqi turned around and wanted to leave, but Yue Lei couldn't bear this loss, so he shouted loudly.

"You don't know, right? That day, your mother came to our house in a humble manner. When my mother spoke to her, she smiled flatteringly, even more so than the servants who served others. What status do you have in the Shao family? How dare you come to our house..."

Before he could finish his words, Shao Wanqi couldn't help it anymore.

He has had a bad temper since he was a child, and his patience has reached its limit. He rushed forward, pushed Yue Lei to the ground and started beating him.

Yue Lei had no strength to struggle. He was already drunk and his brain became cloudy after the fall. He could only cover his head with his hands.

"Dare to scold my mother, I'll let you scold me!"

After a few punches, he could feel the opponent's ribs being smashed.

Yue Lei was still talking dirty, blurting out all kinds of extremely insulting words. Shao Wanqi's eyes were red, and he seemed to be angry.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Kang Ge'er in his mind, "These places hurt the most, but they won't leave marks, and you won't be able to see anything."

At least he had some common sense and didn't kill anyone.

Young people are always hot-tempered. The two teenagers were fighting with each other. To be more precise, it was Shao Wanqi who was unilaterally crushing them.

The servants wanted to step forward to mediate, but on one side was the future son-in-law, and on the other side was the young master, which made it extremely difficult for them.

They could only pull him one at a time. Shao Wanqi was very strong and not very aggressive. Even with five or six people pulling him together, he still found a chance to kick Yue Lei.

Yue Lei had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Qianer took the silver that Shao Wanqi had given her and ran away quickly.

The servants of the Yue family also ran in two directions to inform the managers of the Yue Mansion and the Shao Mansion that something had happened.

Shao Wanqi's eyes were red with anger, and he only came to his senses after being slapped by Chu Qinqian who came hurriedly.

Yue Lei looked extremely miserable, with blood gushing out of his nose and mouth, and he seemed to be barely breathing.

This scared the two families. Chu Qinqian wanted to go to the house to check what was going on, but was stopped outside.

Helplessly, she had to return home first and send someone to keep an eye on the situation in Yue Mansion.

After waiting for a long time, news came from the Yue Mansion at night that Yue Lei was dying. Chu Qinqian was so scared that she fainted.
