Liang Shanqiu flatly rejected her and proposed marriage to Zhu Yingxiu.
Desperate, Ren Liqin was furious and filed a lawsuit against Liang Shanqiu.
After reading the two people's confessions and listening to their stories, Zhao Ping felt a little headache.
The key to the matter was Ren Liqin, who forced Liang Shanqiu to fall in love with another woman.
But Ren Liqin is in trouble now. She is having a hard time, and she doesn't want the other person to have a good time.
Anyway, you, Liang Shanqiu, are the official magistrate of the county. You must worry about your identity and maintain your hard-won reputation.
Regardless of whether she wins or loses the lawsuit, it has little impact on her, but has a great impact on Liang Shanqiu in the officialdom.
Zhao Ping did not immediately conclude the case. He announced a temporary suspension of the trial and decided to start with Ren Liqin.
Zhao Ping called Ren Liqin to the backyard. Ren Liqin was still young anyway, so even if others wanted to spread rumors, there was no way for them to start.
Zhao Ping personally made tea for her and placed it in front of her, which made her feel flattered.
Lan'er and Xia He secretly looked at her from outside, wondering why Zhao Ping was so polite to this "old woman".
If Ren Liqin knew what these two little ladies were thinking, she would have wanted to step forward and tear their mouths apart.
I am less than twenty years old, yet you call me an old woman.
This was the case in ancient times. Ren Liqin had almost become a mother to two young ladies. No wonder the two maids regarded her as an old woman.
Zhao Ping saw the look on her face and guessed that she was not having a good life these days.
He called Cuizhu and asked her to arrange a banquet.
Looking at the radiant Cuizhu, but her plain skin was yellowish, and she had not been peaceful these days, she looked a little haggard, and she couldn't help but feel jealous before she lowered her head.
Ren Liqin was indeed hungry. Except for the wine, she almost ate up all the other famous dishes including braised pork, twice-cooked pork, and pot-fried pork.
After eating, Ren Liqin made a request, which was to put on makeup.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but be stunned. He had no idea about her at all, so why did he still put on makeup?
Little did he know that the looks of Cuizhu, Lan'er and Xia He who came to take a look secretly were all compared to hers.
She can only regain her confidence through makeup, otherwise she will be restless.
Zhao Ping had a headache, and Mrs. Zhu from Changzhou had an even worse headache.
She didn't expect that her daughter's lover would suddenly find a fiancée, so she called her daughter into Zhaojiazhuang's house to inquire carefully.
It turned out that the daughter actually hid the news about Liang Shanqiu and his fiancée?
She asked sharply: "Why didn't Liang Shanqiu tell his mother that he had a fiancée?"
Zhu Yingxiu said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, that fiancée of his doesn't abide by women's virtues, so she doesn't have any!"
At that time, she did not dare to say that Liang Shanqiu already had a fiancée, even if this fiancée did not abide by women's ethics.
If she had said this, she might have been Ma Wencai's man by now.
So she had to hide it, and she believed that Liang Shanqiu only had her in his heart.
Fortunately, Liang Shanqiu really only liked her, and he was very up to date.
"Xiu'er, the other party has a marriage contract, which is a great deal!" Mrs. Zhu was worried that her daughter could only be a concubine.
"Mother, Shan Qiu said that he would not marry her, but only his daughter." Zhu Yingxiu looked up and answered in a positive tone.
"How can you be so shameless?" Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she almost slapped her daughter in the face.
But she reached halfway and suddenly retracted her hand.
After all, Liang Shanqiu cannot be blamed for this, nor can he blame his daughter.
If you want to blame, you can only blame that bitch Ren Liqin.
No, you should be grateful to that bitch Ren Liqin. If she upheld the virtues of a woman, she would still have a chance to have her own daughter.
If we really want to blame it, we can only blame God for this arrangement.
However, this still depends on how Liang Shanqiu, the junior boss, can resolve the matter satisfactorily.
The backyard outside the house.
After Zhao Ping helped Ren Liqin put on her makeup, he chatted with her in random words.
When Ren Liqin's mood improved, she suddenly said patiently to her: "I heard that you already have someone you like?"
Ren Liqin thought about various questions, but she didn't expect Zhao Ping to ask about it like this.
She was a little annoyed, bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing that she did not deny it, Zhao Ping said: "Since we already have the person we love, we can live our own lives. You are also brothers and sisters."
"No, Nujia and Brother Liang are not brother and sister. He is my fiancé and we are engaged." Ren Liqin suddenly raised her voice, obviously very excited.
Zhao Ping did not expect this person to be so unreasonable, and said patiently: "He will treat her like a biological sister. Don't worry about this."
Ren Liqin smiled bitterly and said: "The slave family only recognizes the marriage contract. This is the slave family's only idea."
She thought in her heart, is there any way for the slave family to go? The only thing now is this marriage contract.
Zhao Ping saw that this woman still had this thought after reaching this point, so he had to give up the idea.
"Liang Shanqiu can marry you right away, but he can also divorce you right away. He can do this." Zhao Ping said patiently.
"No, he doesn't dare to seize the slave family. He doesn't have the guts." Ren Liqin suddenly stood up from the chair.
"Why can't I divorce you?" Zhao Ping asked coldly.
"Of course divorcing his wife will have an impact on his officialdom. Does he dare? Does he dare?" Ren Liqin shouted excitedly.
"Of course he dares!" A gentle voice came. It turned out that it was my mother who was here, and she and Zhao Tianshi were also here.
"I've met my mother!" Zhao Ping saluted his mother.
Ren Liqin didn't expect that Zhao Ping's mother was as beautiful as a fairy, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
The mother nodded to Zhao Ping, then looked at Ren Liqin coldly, and said, "You are more than three months pregnant, and you still have the nerve to get married?"
"No, how could the Nu family be pregnant?" Ren Liqin didn't believe it and retorted directly.
My mother shouted to the outside: "Dongfang Doctor, please feel the pulse of this beauty."
Ren Liqin had a look of panic on her face and retreated directly.
A doctor of about 40 or so with a celestial spirit came in and quickly grabbed Ren Liqin's hand to feel her pulse.
Dongfang Qilong closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes, nodded, and said: "Sure enough, she is pregnant, at least three months ago."
Seeing so many people staring at her, Ren Liqin couldn't help but lower her head.
Zhao Ping said patiently: "You are now more than three months pregnant and obviously cannot get married. Again, becoming a brother and sister with Liang Shanqiu will be beneficial to both you and Liang Shanqiu."
Ren Liqin suddenly hugged her face and cried loudly. Everyone was silent. After all, this was a huge blow to her.
Maybe she didn't even know she was pregnant, and it was really humiliating in front of everyone.
After crying for a cup of tea, she felt better when she saw that these people were all drinking tea and not looking at her.
She suddenly saluted Zhao Ping Wanfu and said pitifully: "I'm telling Mr. Zhao that the slave family doesn't ask Liang Langjun to marry the slave family. It only requires that he accept the slave family in the house and give the slave family a place to live. The slave family really has no place to seek refuge." .”
"No, he can be your brother. As for entering the Liang family, don't expect anything." At this time, a cold voice came over.
A plump and beautiful woman in her thirties came in. It turned out to be Mrs. Zhu.
She looked at Ren Liqin coldly and said, "If you are perfect, you can still consider this. Entering the house while pregnant is really an insult to the Liang family."
Speaking of which, she didn't know how to arrange this person who was once Liang Shanqiu's fiancée.
When she entered Liang Shanqiu's home as a former fiancée, was she a sister or a concubine?
Ren Liqin couldn't help covering her face and burst into tears, making everyone feel deeply pitiful for her.
It is true that poor people must be pitiable. If she did not despise Liang Shanqiu, a poor person, she would be the county magistrate's wife today.
It’s just that there are no what-ifs in the world, and there is no regret medicine to buy.
Now she came to Jintang County just to tie up Liang Shanqiu with a marriage contract, but she didn't expect this ending.
Moreover, she had run out of money and had no one to turn to.
Her parents only have her as a daughter, and Liang Shanqiu is just an adopted son.
It was Ren Liqin, their only daughter, who adopted Liang Shanqiu as their adopted son, planning to retire as their son-in-law.
Their parents didn't know that Ren Liqin was already married to someone else, and they still expected the two to get married.
If they knew this, the two old men would be furious.
Thinking of this, she cried more and more sadly.
Mother looked at Ren Liqin, then at Mrs. Zhu, and sighed.
She said to Ren Liqin: "Mrs. Ren, you are the adopted sister of Magistrate Liang. Please live in Zhaojiazhuang from now on. Ping'er and Magistrate Liang are colleagues and will not treat you as an outsider."
Ren Liqin was Liang Shanqiu's former fiancée, which made it impossible for her to live in the Liang family.
This is the mother's only way to resolve the embarrassment between Ren Liqin and Liang Shanqiu, and it can be regarded as an explanation for Ren Liqin and Mrs. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu was worried about being unable to solve Ren Liqin's troublesome problem, but she didn't expect her mother to solve it immediately.
She expressed her deepest blessings to her mother and said, "A civilian woman has thanked Zhao An." Her mother had an order from An Ren, and she must be polite.
Ren Liqin wiped away her tears and thanked her mother while sobbing.
She knew that Zhao Ping's identity was extraordinary, but she didn't expect that Zhao Ping's mother's identity was also extraordinary.
This is her best choice at the moment. Zhaojiazhuang is far more powerful than Ma Rong, whom she originally relied on.
Her hands were trembling and she was unwilling to take out the engagement letter from her sleeve, because she knew that taking it out would completely end her engagement with Liang Shanqiu.
But she had to take it out because she was pregnant, and if she didn't take it out, she would be even more embarrassed.
She handed the marriage contract to her mother, covered her face and burst into tears, and ran out.
The mother winked at the maids around her, and immediately two maids followed Ren Liqin and ran out.
She is not Liang Shanqiu's fiancée now, but his adopted sister. Of course, Zhaojiazhuang must take good care of her.
Mrs. Zhu took the engagement letter from her mother, thanked her happily, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the key to her daughter's happiness in life. She burned the engagement letter with a match made by Zhaojiazhuang.
Although the engagement letter between Liang Shanqiu and Ren Liqin has been burned, there is still an obstacle to their marriage.
The marriage between him and Zhu Yingxiu required the presence of his parents. Although there were no parents, there was still an adoptive father and an adoptive mother.
