Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 189 The Chang Family Wants to Cancel the Engagement

After hearing Liu Tianshu's words, those who blamed the Hou family were no longer able to speak.

It has only been three years since the late Marquis Zhongyong passed away. It's not that people don't care about the injured now, but there is an emergency, so there is nothing wrong in letting the younger generation of the family come forward.

Thinking of this, many people made way for Hou's carriage to leave.

Seeing that those ordinary people were persuaded so easily, the woman lying on the ground was unwilling to give in. She wanted to pull Hou's carriage, but Tong'er quickly blocked her with her hand.

Although she didn't know why Liu Tianshu wanted to help the Hou family, it didn't stop her from doing her job.

"Madam, my wife will help you solve this matter, so please don't embarrass my old lady anymore."

"well……"

Seeing Tong'er's warning look, the woman responded vaguely, but she did not dare to look at Liu Tianshu.

Liu Tianshu smiled faintly.

"Come here, send this lady to the largest clinic in the capital. All her expenses will be paid by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu took out two fifty-tael silver notes from her bosom and handed them to Tong'er.

"Take this money to the clinic to treat this lady's injuries, and give the rest to her as compensation."

"Yes!"

Looking at the two silver bills in Tong'er's hand, the woman's eyes were full of greed.

"No, no, it's just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days of rest when I get home."

After saying that, the lady reached out to grab the banknote from Tong'er's hand.

"This is not okay."

Tong Er sneered, "Auntie, don't say that everything is fine. Your family will come to us to extort money later. For safety reasons, let's go to Huirentang first."

After saying this, without waiting for the woman to refuse, Tong'er took her hand and, not giving her a chance to refuse, took her away from the crowd.

The injured women were taken away, and Hou, the person who hit others, had also left. The people who were watching the excitement gradually dispersed.

Back in the carriage, Hong'er asked curiously, "Madam, why do you want to help the old lady?"

"Gu Jinqing alone can't make a fuss. If we don't help the old lady, how can this matter be made a fuss?"

"Madam, are you going to help Master Liu?"

"Whether to help or not, we can just watch the fun from the sidelines."

"Yes!"

After understanding what Liu Tianshu meant, Hong'er smiled very happily.

At the same time, Hou finally arrived at the Chang family's gate and met Gu Jinqing who had arrived earlier. However, Gu Jinqing had already made a fuss at the gate, and there were many people watching the fun around.

Hou got off the carriage and, with the help of Luo's mother, took a long time to squeeze into the crowd. She pulled Gu Jinqing, who was arguing with the Chang family's housekeeper, to the outside of the crowd.

"You little girl, go home with your mother."

"Mom, this Chang family is too bullying, I..."

"Stop messing around, let's go home."

Hou covered Gu Jinqing's mouth tightly and said anxiously.

Gu Jinqing hadn't gotten an explanation from the Chang family yet, so there was no way he was willing to go back just like that.

"Mom, you are my real mother. The Chang family has trampled on your daughter's face. If you don't help me, why are you helping outsiders?"

"What do you mean by insiders or outsiders? If you have anything to say, let's go home and talk..."

Hou was anxious, but Gu Jinqing refused to cooperate at all.

"Mom, they won't let me into the Chang family, I..."

"do not talk……"

Hou became even more anxious and deeply regretted raising her daughter to be too naive, making her believe whatever others said.

"Mrs. Gu, since we're already at the door, let's go in and talk..."

Seeing that Hou was about to drag Gu Jinqing away, Mrs. Chang walked out of the gate with a gloomy face.

"My dear, my girl is still young, please don't bother with her. I will take her home and educate her properly."

Seeing Mrs. Chang leaving, Hou immediately put on a flattering smile.

"no need."

Madam Chang sneered and said, "We can't afford a daughter-in-law like the Third Miss of the Gu family. Now let's cancel this marriage in front of everyone."

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

No matter what the reason for breaking off an engagement is these days, it is bad for a woman's reputation. Moreover, the Chang family's status is getting higher and higher, and Hou wants to rely on the Chang family's relationship to find a job for Gu Jinhui, so it is naturally impossible for her to break off the engagement.

"Mother-in-law, this is a marriage granted by the Queen Mother herself. You are canceling the engagement without her consent. Aren't you afraid of being charged with deceiving the emperor?"
