Xiao Ming did not expect that at this critical moment, Xia Jingyao would come back. As long as he is given a little more time, he can take Liu Yunqing away. But now that the matter has come to this, Xiao Ming has no intention of giving up.
"I've met Mr. Marquis. Marriage matters have been dictated by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. Since Miss Liu is already Mr. Hou's fiancée, Miss Liu's parents must know about it. Master Liu, do you know about this? "At the end, Xiao Ming stared at Liu Wanshan with sharp eyes.
"This, this, this." Liu Wanshan was extremely entangled and embarrassed at this time. Although he has attached himself to the governor's mansion, he does not want to offend Marquis Yong'an. If Liu Yunqing could marry into the Hou Mansion, then he would naturally be willing. Although the father and daughter are now at odds, he knows that Liu Yunqing is kind-hearted. As long as he is willing to give in, Liu Yunqing will definitely settle the differences with him. Businessmen are driven by profit, so they naturally know to keep a back-up, and Liu Yunqing can become the Liu family's back-up by marrying into the Marquis Mansion.
"Master Liu, please don't forget your identity." Xiao Ming threatened Liu Wanshan when he saw him hesitating.
"I don't need Young Master Xiao to worry about my family affairs. Since the Liu Family Master is here, I don't have to make an extra trip. Please invite the Liu Family Master into the front hall to talk about it. He Wu, drive out the rest of the people. Yong'an Marquis Mansion is not a place where cats and dogs can show off their power. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished for treason and will be killed without mercy." Xia Jingyao was too lazy to talk nonsense. After giving the order, he pulled Liu Yunqing towards the front hall. The guards in the palace made way for the two of them, and Butler He came to Liu Wanshan and made a gesture of invitation. Liu Wanshan glanced at Xiao Ming guiltily, and then followed Butler He to the front hall.
Xiao Ming was filled with anger, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire. Looking at Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing's leaving figures. Xiao Ming could not wait to step forward with a knife and chop the two of them to death. He was used to being arrogant and domineering in Fuchang County. Whenever he behaved like this, it was simply a great shame and humiliation.
"Master Xiao, please." He Wu came to Xiao Ming and politely asked him to leave. Xiao Ming snorted angrily and turned to leave. As soon as he left the Hou Mansion, Xiao Ming kicked Butler Xiao to the ground.
Arriving at the front hall, Xia Jingyao let go of Liu Yunqing and sat down on the main seat.
"The villain Liu Wanshan came to meet the Marquis." When he came to the front hall, Liu Wanshan knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.
"Get up." Xia Jingyao's tone was calm, without any emotion.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Liu Wanshan stood up and stood respectfully.
"Later, I will send someone to the Liu Mansion to recruit people. If the Liu family has any requirements, you can put them forward now." Xia Jingyao did not say any pleasantries and went straight to the topic. Liu Yunqing was shocked when she heard Xia Jingyao's words. She originally thought that Xia Jingyao was just trying to help her out, but she didn't expect that Xia Jingyao was really going to resign.
"The Marquis is able to fall in love with Qing'er, which is a blessing that Qing'er has cultivated over several lifetimes. I don't have any demands." Liu Wanshan dares to make demands. Now he is thinking about how to repair the relationship with Liu Yunqing.
"In this case, the Liu family leader should go back to the mansion first. Butler He, go and prepare the betrothal gift. When you are ready, ask He Wu to send it to the Liu mansion. At the same time, send the Liu family master out of the mansion for me." Now that we have finished talking, Xia Jingyao no longer kept Liu Wanshan.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I will take my leave." Liu Wanshan bowed and retreated. Butler He led the way and sent Liu Wanshan out of the Hou Mansion.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Liu Wanshan quickly took his servants back to the house. Today I climbed into the Hou Mansion, but I also offended Xiao Ming. Liu Wanshan hurriedly went back to prepare gifts and went to the county magistrate's house to apologize.
"My daughter, Liu Yunqing, has met the Marquis and thanked him for helping me twice. It was a helpless act for my daughter to pretend to be the Marquis's fiancée before. If she causes trouble to the Marquis, my daughter is willing to take responsibility. It's just that I hope that I will hire him this time. The Marquis thought twice. "When only Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing were left in the front hall, Liu Yunqing saluted and thanked them.
"You don't want to marry me?" Xia Jingyao looked at Liu Yunqing and asked.
"Ah, it's not that I'm unwilling, no, oh, how should I put this? Mr. Hou helped my daughter twice, and my daughter burst into tears of gratitude. However, this important matter of marriage should not be a transaction. The two of them fell in love with each other, loved each other, and were willing to sacrifice for each other. , can we get married. Although the little girl has a good impression of the Marquis, she is far from the point of falling in love. The Marquis definitely doesn’t like the little girl, let alone the slightest. "Liu Yunqing felt a little confused for a moment. It was incoherent, but fortunately I thought I made it clear in the end.
"I already know what Miss Liu did in the Hou Mansion. Housekeeper He and others like you very much, and I also think you are very suitable to be the hostess of the Hou Mansion. You don't have to worry about the appointment. , I will not treat you badly. I also know that you are very unhappy with the Liu Mansion now. Just stay in the Marquis Mansion with peace of mind, waiting to marry me." Xia Jingyao ignored Liu Yunqing's words, as if he only listened to Here are the five words "It's not unwillingness". After Xia Jingyao finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
"Master Hou, no, that's not what I meant." Liu Yunqing looked at Xia Jingyao's leaving figure and stamped her feet angrily.
As soon as Xia Jingyao left, Lian'er ran in with a smile on her face.
"Miss, it's great. We don't have to leave the Hou Mansion." Lian'er was particularly happy to finally no longer have to worry about leaving.
"Lian'er, we still have to leave." As soon as Liu Yunqing opened her mouth, she poured a large basin of ice water on Lian'er.
"Miss, why? The Marquis has acknowledged the lady's identity and asked Butler He to prepare the betrothal gift." Lian'er's face suddenly fell, full of doubts and unhappiness.
"I don't want to marry an arrogant and unreasonable person. Besides, he doesn't like me at all. It's impossible for me to marry someone who doesn't like me and I don't like it either. If you don't want to leave, then you Just stay and I'll go by myself." After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he walked towards his yard angrily.
"Miss, can't we discuss it further? Miss, don't walk so fast, wait for Lian'er. Wherever the miss goes, Lian'er will go. Miss can't leave Lian'er behind." Lian'er quickly followed.
Xiao Ming returned to the Sheriff's Mansion, got furious and smashed everything in the room. The more Xiao Ming thought about it, the angrier he became and ordered someone to bring Liu Yunfei over. Xiao Ming punched and kicked Liu Yunfei. Liu Yunfei, who was innocently implicated, curled up on the ground and kept begging for mercy. Xiao Ming fought for a full quarter of an hour before he stopped and finally let out the tightness in his chest.
"Fei'er, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame Liu Yunqing. If Liu Yunqing hadn't annoyed me, I wouldn't have taken it out on you. That sister of yours is really amazing. In just a few days, she hooked up with Yongan. Hou." Xiao Ming finished breathing, squatted down and said softly, then turned and left the room.
Liu Yunfei was beaten innocently and lay on the ground with bruises all over her body. After hearing Xiao Ming's words, Liu Yunfei transferred all her hatred to Liu Yunqing. Since childhood, Liu Yunfei has been competing with Liu Yunqing, but she has always been unable to compare with Liu Yunqing. Before, I just hated Liu Yunqing, but now I hate him deeply.
