The boys carrying the stuff behind them were busy coming up to stop them.
Although she didn’t know that Zhang Yao was stupid and fat, since the Zhang family could do something to falsely accuse Song Si, Zhang Yao couldn’t be a good one! There was no end to the bullying.
The housekeeper and the boy were beaten and scurried.
Grandma Song and Liu Cui Lan chased after them, beating them until they reached the door, and the butler ran faster than a rabbit without having time to get into his carriage, with the boy following close behind.
The carriage driver took a bad look and hurriedly turned around, lest he be a step behind and also be hit by the rolling pin.
Liu Cui Lan was really desperate and chased after him regardless. At last she couldn’t chase him anymore and threw the rolling pin out, hitting the butler right on the head.
The housekeeper gave a loud cry and scampered away in a flash.
It took the coachman a while to catch up with him.
The steward climbed onto the carriage on his feet and, with his heart pounding, ordered the coachman, “Go, go!”
It was not until he was a long way out that he took a breath and, feeling the big bump on his head, cursed under his breath that
“Unbelievable! It’s unbelievable!”
……
Li Cuilan fell to the ground with red eyes, wishing she could stare a big hole in the distant carriage and let the steward fall to his death.
Grandma Song was also panting, she was actually a bit older and didn’t run as fast, bending down to help Liu Cui Lan, “Get up.”
“Mother.”
Liu Cui Lan couldn’t help but redden her eyes, “Their Zhang family is bullying people too much.”
“I’m not afraid, if he bullies us too much, we’ll fight back.”
Song Shu and Song Shen also ran over.
Song Shen wanted to move just now but was stopped by Song Shu, who didn’t know what to do. If he hurt someone, the Zhang family might blackmail them.
The two of them helped Liu Cui Lan up.
Liu Cui Lan was fierce, “Go back and sharpen the kitchen knife for me, if his Zhang family dares to make trouble at the stall again tomorrow, I will chop them up with the knife!”
Song Shu gave Liu Cui Lan a wink, signalling her to stop talking, but it was already too late, as Grandma Song asked in a deep voice, “Did they go to the stall today?”
“No, no.”
“You don’t have to fool me ……,” Grandma Song glared at him and looked at Song Shen, “Shen’er, you speak.”
Song Shen said exactly what happened today when Zhang Yao led people to smash the stall but phased Song Si.
Grandma Song regretted that she had been lighter just now, she should have smashed that dog’s head open.
“Listen guys, I’d rather not let Si’er take the imperial examinations than let him marry that Zhang Yao.”
……
The carriage stopped at the entrance to the Zhang Mansion, and the housekeeper ripped the clothes on his body askew and messed up his hair some more before he got out of the carriage and, leaning woefully on the boy, moved slowly, step by step, into the Mansion to see Master Zhang.
“Master, I’ve let you down, I didn’t get the job done, please chastise me.”
Master Zhang was shocked to see that his clothes were askew, his hair was in disarray and he had several large buns on his head, “What happened to you? Have you met a robber?”
It couldn’t be, the past few years had been very peaceful, I hadn’t heard of any robbers.
The housekeeper covered his head and couldn’t even stand up, “They were beaten by the Song family, as soon as they heard my intention to go, without saying a word, the whole family copied their weapons and hit us head on, we almost couldn’t come back!”
“What a disrespectful thing!”
Master Zhang was so angry that he slapped the table, the butler represented the face of the Zhang family, the Song family’s beating of the butler was a beating of his face.
“Yes, they are so insensitive, saying that marrying Miss is harming Song Si for the rest of her life.”
The housekeeper poured oil on the fire.
“That’s outrageous.”
Master Zhang slapped the table again in anger, “Apart from the fact that Yao’er is a bit fatter, where is she not good enough for Song Si? It’s their Song family’s good fortune to have fallen for him in eight lifetimes!”
“Master is right, if they can marry Miss, the Song family’s ancestors’ graves will be filled with smoke. They still don’t like it, they simply don’t know what’s good for them!”
“You are so ……”
In his rage, Master Zhang lost his senses somewhat, “You send out all the people in the House and spread the news that Song Si stole our heirloom jade pendant, I’ll make sure he can never turn over a new leaf.”
“Master.”
“Go!”
The butler was about to retreat.
Lady Zhang heard the news and rushed here just in time to hear Master Zhang’s words, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to enter, “No!”
If she did that, she would really have a deadly feud with the Song family, and Yao’er would not be able to marry Song Si.
“Master, calm down, things may not be without a turn.”
With those words, he gave the butler a test of colour and gestured for him to go out and wait.
The steward reluctantly let the boy help him out and stood waiting at the door.
“Master ……”
The Song family has beaten people out, which just shows that they are not people who climb up the ladder of power and wealth. If the Song family can’t figure it out now, we can think of other ways, we must not kill the road with the Song family.”
“What else can we think of if the Song family doesn’t want to go through with it?”
Before the housekeeper left, Master Zhang had specifically ordered that as long as Song Si agreed to the marriage, he would buy two large mansions in the county, one for Song’s family to live in and the other for Song Si and Zhang Yao to live in. As for Song Si’s family’s livelihood, he also took care of it, and would let them help out in the shop, for one tael of silver a month, which was enough for them to support themselves and would not be a burden to Song Si and Zhang Yao.
In this way
^0^ One second to remember [ ]
What else could they be tempted to do if they did not agree to the terms?
“Your Lordship forgets what they care most about.”
Master Zhang looked at her, “What do you mean?”
“What the Song family cares most about is Song Si, to them, Song Si is the hope of their whole family, if we go to their door like this and say that they should let Song Si marry Yao’er, they will naturally disagree. Why don’t you go and find the dean and ask him to speak to the Song family, and speak to them with emotion and reason, they will naturally agree for the sake of Song Si’s future.”
Master Zhang wrinkled his brows.
Seeing his reluctance, Mrs. Zhang continued to persuade him, “Master, it’s not a big deal for us to suffer a little defeat now. Just think, with Song Si’s knowledge, if he wins the top prize one day, he will have a high official and a horse to ride. We’ll be the ones who get the glory! For the sake of his promising future, bear with what you see before you.”
Master Zhang did not say anything.
Seeing that he was wavering, Madam Zhang picked up again, “Master, we have to think for the long term, don’t miss out on such a good Liang because of the small and regret in vain later.”
Yao’er would not marry anyone other than Song Si, she must let her daughter have her wish!
Of course, this she did not say.
Master Zhang was once again persuaded, and the fire that had just been stirred up by the housekeeper’s report receded, “Madam has a point, I will spare my face and make a trip to see the dean.”
……
Song Si did not know that the Zhang family had come to his door, he was still in a battle of heaven and earth in his heart.
To steal? To steal or not to steal?
