Chapter 2185 Breaking up with the Liu Family
But now Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were both here, Liu Mochen had no way to vent his anger and could only leave in a huff.
After watching him leave, Wan Shufang walked into the house, held Shangguan Chu in her arms, and comforted her patiently. However, seeing how frightened she was, Wan Shufang couldn't help feeling angry.
She looked at Chen Changli and said calmly, "Changli, this Liu Mochen is too outrageous. After all, it was a grudge owed by the county magistrate, and he actually used it to threaten Ah Chu."
"I'll take care of this matter, Shufang, don't be angry, I'm afraid you'll get sick from being angry."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang suddenly thought of something and waved at him: "Come here, I'll tell you."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Changli moved closer and saw Wan Shufang whispering a few words in his ear. Chen Changli smiled knowingly, nodded, turned and left. That night, someone spread rumors.
They said that the Liu family was using moral blackmail, using a little bit of kindness to threaten others to do their bidding.
The news soon reached the Liu family. Immediately, the Liu family members were furious and slammed the table, demanding that Liu Mochen not marry Shangguan Chu.
"Mo Chen, if you ask me, why did you have to marry that woman? She has brought disaster to our family and allowed others to bully us."
"That's right. She was a woman who got pregnant before marriage and had a miscarriage. Who would want her in the future? How dare she take Qiao?"
"Especially when they joked about your eldest brother's affairs, even though the person was dead, they still didn't let him go. Mo Chen, you should teach her a lesson. You must regret the engagement."
The elders of the Liu family were arguing with each other, asking Liu Mochen to break off the engagement. The atmosphere in the room was lively and the argument was intense. Liu Mochen picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"That's enough." He scolded, with a sneer on his face: "Shangguan Chu, I must marry her, and she won't be unwanted. Didn't you see that you, the boy from the Xiao family, are always watching over her?"
"He just wants to wait for me to give up so that he can marry Shangguan Chu. I will never let him do that."
As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Liu Mochen's eyes. Seeing his crazy appearance, the Liu family members didn't dare to speak and they all looked at each other.
For a moment, it was unclear whether he was deeply in love with Shangguan Chu or was jealous and seeking revenge against Xiao Jingheng.
At the same time, compared to the hustle and bustle of the Liu family, the county magistrate's mansion was silent. The people sent by Chen Changli had found the key clues and brought back the evidence.
Seeing the evidence in front of her, Wan Shufang was surprised and frowned, saying, "I didn't expect the truth to be like this."
"Yes, Young Master Liu was indeed assassinated, but it was not for the purpose of protecting the county magistrate." Chen Changli said slowly, taking out another document that he had taken from the county magistrate's study.
"The assassination was actually revenge by Young Master Liu's enemies. It was a setup targeting him, and the county magistrate just happened to be there."
"The documents show that Young Master Liu once worked in the government office. Afterwards, the Liu family deliberately distorted the facts in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful, portraying Young Master Liu as someone who sacrificed himself to save his master. The county magistrate, probably because he couldn't put down his dignity, acquiesced to this statement."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was so angry that she almost laughed. She had never thought that the nice-looking old man would push his own daughter into the fire for the sake of so-called decency.
"I really misjudged him. If I had known, I would have been too lazy to save him. I would have let him stay stupid for the rest of his life. He's not smart anyway." Wan Shufang cursed angrily, frowning: "What should we do now? What about Ah Chu..."
"After all, this is her father's choice. She deserves to know the truth." Chen Changli said calmly. He reached out his hand, patted Wan Shufang on the shoulder, and handed all the evidence to her.
He is not suitable to participate in the rest of the things, but he will stand behind them and protect them.
Thinking of this, Chen Changli raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile: "I have already sorted out the evidence and have not made it public. Everything is up to Madam."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was surprised at Chen Changli's careful actions. She was moved and hugged him and kissed him.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Duke."
"I'm not tired." Chen Changli's eyes darkened, and he picked the person up horizontally: "But it's late at night, Madam can compensate me a lot."
After saying this, he picked the person up and strode towards the bed, making a fuss all night.
The next day at noon, Wan Shufang took the opportunity to visit Shangguan Chu and left an anonymous copy of the evidence on her desk.
As soon as Wan Shufang left, Shangguan Chu immediately noticed the clerk.
"What is this? Could it be something important that Madam left behind?" She picked it up and was about to chase Wan Shufang when the document was blown open by the wind, revealing its contents.
Shangguan Chu's expression froze, he stopped and started turning the pages.
The more she looked down, the uglier her expression became. Grief, anger, heartache, all kinds of emotions surged up in an instant, making her unable to help but laugh at herself.
"So that's it."
"Father, in your eyes, your daughter's happiness cannot outweigh the so-called fame, or even a false fame..."
Shangguan Chu murmured, thinking of the suffering she had endured these days, her eyes suddenly turned cold: "Since no one cares about me, then I don't have to worry about you."
She clenched the evidence in her hand, and at this moment, she finally understood and decided to make the truth public on the wedding day.
As the days passed, Shangguan Chu looked over the evidence every day, and soon, the wedding day arrived.
On the wedding day, the Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and Liu Mochen was dressed in wedding clothes, waiting proudly for Shangguan Chu to come. Although the county magistrate was uneasy, he said nothing in the end.
He forced himself to be respectable and personally sent Shangguan Chu to the bridal sedan. The news of their wedding spread throughout the streets and alleys. Xiao Jingheng also came and stood alone on the city wall.
He stared at the wedding procession, his eyes full of pain, sadness and resentment, but he could only sigh: "Ah Chu, I'm sorry..."
It was his incompetence that prevented him from taking Ah Chu away.
Jamel Xiao talked to himself, his eyes fixed on the red until the crowd disappeared.
At this time, Wan Shufang was taking a few students with them, mixed in with the crowd of spectators, quietly observing what was happening inside and outside the Liu Mansion.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
When the sedan chair was halfway on the road, Shangguan Chu suddenly stopped it. In the face of Liu Mochen's dissatisfied gaze, she spoke calmly through the curtain of the sedan chair: "Liu Mochen, let's go and pay our respects to Young Master Liu."
"He was kind to my father and saved his life. It is reasonable for me to go and pay my respects." Shangguan Chu deliberately emphasized the words "life-saving grace".
Although Liu Mochen was surprised that she wanted to worship her elder brother first, he still agreed.
"Today is our wedding, Ah Chu, I will comply with any request you make."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face. It was obvious that he was unwilling to argue with Shangguan Chu over such a trivial matter, so as not to affect the progress of the wedding and make a fool of himself.
