Traveling back to the Northern Song Dynasty: Picking up a princess as my wife

Upon arriving at the traffic police station, the middle-aged man and the young man with blond hair got out of the car and began to mock Li Zhen, who had just gotten out of the BMW.

"He drives a BMW but can't even afford to install a dashcam in his girlfriend's car. I think he's a scumbag."

"Exactly, we don't ask for much, it would be better if we just gave it to them readily."

In the traffic police office, the uncle, as usual, first mediated between the two parties. Since there was no surveillance footage at the scene and Qin Rong's car did not have a dashcam, determining liability was very difficult.

After learning the details of the car accident, Li Zhen quietly left the office and went outside to make a phone call.

"Hey Cao Hua, I need to ask you for a favor. Qin Rong was in a car accident. It seems to be a professional staged accident gang. What's their name? Okay, I'll ask and send it to you via WeChat."

Li Zhen returned to his office, looked at the middle-aged man, and sneered, "Brother, we're all in this together, give me your name."

The middle-aged man asked warily, "What? Let's settle our business first. Why are you asking my name?"

The uncle standing next to him smiled and said, "His name is Wu Binhai, and the young man next to him is his nephew, Wu Chuanxue."

The middle-aged man looked at his uncle somewhat anxiously and said, "Old Zhang, why are you mentioning my name?"

"What's wrong with a name? People will know it anyway. Besides, they'll still know your name in a little while."

Li Zhen lowered his head and sent Wu Binhai's name to Cao Hua via WeChat, waiting for Cao Hua to handle it.

Shortly after, Cao Hua sent a message on WeChat, telling Li Zhen not to worry, as he was already handling it.

When Qin Rong saw Li Zhen come in again, she was afraid that he would abandon her, so she grabbed Li Zhen's arm tightly.

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Qin Rong, don't do this. I have a fiancée. It's not good for others to see this."

With a pitiful and charming look, Qin Rong whispered, "It's a pity I didn't know how good you were before, and I missed out on you. Li Zhen, do I have no chance at all? Even if I don't become your wife, that's fine too."

Just then, the middle-aged man's phone rang. He glanced at it and answered, "Brother Hua? What brings you to call me? Yes, I'm at the traffic police station. What? You mean...?"

He looked at Li Zhen, his expression turning tense. The blond-haired young man beside him seemed to notice his uncle's change as well, and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man said to his uncle with a dejected look on his face, "Old Zhang, we've reached a settlement. I have no demands, and I don't want the medical expenses. If all else fails, I'll pay for the car repairs."

The uncle called Old Zhang looked on in disbelief. Wu Binhai had been faking accidents in this area for years, but this was the first time he'd done something like this. Old Zhang couldn't help but glance at Li Zhen a few more times, wondering what abilities this young man possessed that could frighten Wu Binhai so much.

Li Zhen also smiled and said, "No, we'll pay for the repairs ourselves, and I'll give you another five thousand yuan for medical expenses. After all, you're so old, it's not easy for you. Next time, be careful before you crash. Not everyone can afford to offend you."

After signing the mediation agreement, Li Zhen drove Qin Rong home. On the way, Qin Rong offered to treat him to a meal, but Li Zhen politely declined.

When he got back home, he found that there were other people in his house.

"Xiao Zhen, you're back? You didn't expect it to be us, did you? Isn't your cousin also in this county? He knew you were here and wanted to come and see you."

Li Zhen was surprised to find that it was his aunt, whom he hadn't contacted for years. Due to family history, his family had always had a very bad relationship with his maternal grandparents' family, especially since this aunt had been targeting him since he was a child. Later, he learned from his mother that Li Zhen's mother was adopted, and that since Li Zhen's parents got married, almost the entire family had been leeching off their family. In the end, it was Li Zhen's father who overcame all opposition and went to great lengths to sever ties with his maternal grandparents' family.

Zhao Yingluo said somewhat awkwardly, "I heard someone knocking on the door. She said she was your aunt, so I let them in."

Aunt Li Zhen pulled her cousin, who was lying on the sofa, and said to Li Zhen, "Your cousin graduated and asked your uncle to find him a job here. I thought you were here too, so I came to stay with you."

My cousin glanced at Li Zhen and then turned his head away, ignoring him completely.

Aunt Li Zhen said somewhat awkwardly, "Your brother is still young, don't take it to heart. Come, come, see what good things your aunt has brought you."

He then dumped the peanuts and walnuts onto the floor, making a mess of the room with the dirt mixed in.

Li Zhen knew what his aunt was thinking, so he said to her directly, "Auntie, you don't need to bother. My house here is small, and Yingluo and I are getting married soon. It's not suitable for my cousin to live here. Why don't I find him a suitable place to rent for now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen's aunt's face changed drastically. Her sharp chin was raised, and she stared at Li Zhen with hostility, saying, "Li Zhen, do you think we wanted to come here? If your mother hadn't said you were here, I wouldn't have come at all. Your mother was adopted by our family. If it weren't for our family, your mother wouldn't be alive, and you wouldn't exist. So this house also belongs to our family. I don't ask for anything else from you, just let my son stay here for a while. Don't be ungrateful."

Li Zhen said with a dark face, "I'm only calling you 'Auntie' because of my mother. Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police. This house was bought for me by my family, and the property certificate is in my name. It has nothing to do with you."

"Li Zhen, you ingrate! Your whole family are ingrates!"

"Mom, don't be angry with this bastard. I don't want to live with him. Let's go."

So, Aunt Li Zhen grumbled as she packed up the peanuts and walnuts. Before leaving, she didn't forget to take the bag of fruit that Li Zhen had just bought. Li Zhen didn't say anything about it, but just watched coldly from the side.

After seeing off the two troublemakers, Li Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhao Yingluo, who was standing to the side, lowered her head and whispered, "Did I do something wrong?"

Li Zhen put his arm around Zhao Yingluo and said with a smile, "That's right, they're the ones who are wrong. Yingluo, tidy up the house, we'll go out to eat later."

Afterwards, Li Zhen called his mother and learned that his aunt knew he lived in the county and wanted to visit him, but she didn't know he wanted to stay at Li Zhen's house.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Li Zhen's mother told him to try not to have any contact with his aunt and that she would handle any issues that might arise.

After Zhao Yingluo finished getting ready, Li Zhen called Cao Hua to invite him to dinner, since he had helped him during the day. In addition to Cao Hua, Li Zhen also invited Fang Zhen, and they booked a barbecue restaurant this time.
