Chapter 175 Wanting to Be the County Magistrate’s Concubine
Chapter 175 Wanting to Be the County Magistrate’s Concubine
Qu Yuanxun had investigated many cases, so when something like this happened, the first thing he did was to go to the scene. Behind him, the aunt who wanted to be Shen Rou was holding her torn clothes in her hands.
The dress she was wearing was made of silk, so it was impossible for it to be torn by someone grabbing it, and the buttons on the dress were intact.
That means Shen Rou had already unbuttoned her clothes before, and in this situation, she deliberately unbuttoned her clothes secretly.
It was obvious that her original goal was to use it on herself.
"No, sir, please help me, please accept me, even if I am your concubine. Please, sir, I really don't want to marry Lu Cailiang."
Originally, Shen Jizu was about to rush into the crowd. When he heard that his daughter was being bullied, he was about to come out to stand up for her.
Before she could even take a step, she heard Shen Rou's words, asking the county magistrate to marry her.
Shen Jizu took a deep breath. He didn't even dare to have such a dream, so how could Shen Rou dare to do that?
But he was also a little looking forward to seeing what the county magistrate would say, and whether good luck would suddenly come to their family and he would become the county magistrate's father-in-law.
“This official only handles matters related to the case. You can handle the matters of Miss Shen and Mr. Lu on your own.
Regarding marriage, I will abide by my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Miss Shen, please don't waste your time with me."
It was obvious that everyone could hear what Qu Yuanxun said, and he rejected Shen Rou's proposal.
But Shen Rou foolishly turned her head to look at Old Madam Qu. Old Madam Qu had just said that as long as there was someone willing to marry, she would immediately find a wife for the county magistrate.
Others may not be willing, but Shen Rou is.
She crawled on her knees towards Madam Qu. When Lin heard this, he used his body to block Madam Qu.
"Madam Qu, please save me. If Master Qu cannot marry me today, I am afraid I will not be able to survive and will only die.
Don’t you want grandchildren? I can give birth to seven or eight. Please, Madam Qu, save me.”
Her clothes were torn, and so many people saw Shen Rou's body. Who knows if she did it on purpose.
Now that he said this again, Lin Ting didn't believe it at all.
"Get up, marriage is no joke, Master Lu has said that he will be responsible for you.
I am an old woman who can hardly read, but I also know the principle of not taking away someone else's love."
Even if Qu Yuanxun never married, Madam Qu would not let him be entangled with a woman like Shen Rou.
He is an official, and it is a taboo in the officialdom to not keep his concubines in good condition.
Moreover, Shen Rou looks like a woman with a heavy mind.
"Lin Ting, send Madam Qu and Lord Qu back first. Mr. Lu will take care of the matters here."
Shen Qingzhou spoke, his plan was very successful and there must not be any more accidents.
"Okay! Madam Qu, this way."
The crowd automatically made way for Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxun.
Lin Lin helped Madam Qu get on the carriage. Lin Ting watched their carriage disappear before turning back to look at Shen Rou.
Shen Rou was held down by Lu Cailiang's two men and stopped from chasing him.
Lu Cailiang squatted in front of Shen Rou, holding a fan in one hand and pinching Shen Rou's chin with the other hand, sneering contemptuously.
"Humph! With such beauty, you still want to cling to County Magistrate Qu. Ridiculous..."
Shen Rou raised her eyes, turned her head away in disgust, and shook off Lu Cailiang's grip.
"Bah, compared to Master Qu, who are you?"
This sentence directly hit Lu Cailiang's sore spot, and there was viciousness in his eyes. If it weren't for Shen Rou, he and their family would not have become like this.
"Okay, I, Lu Cailiang, will let you know what I am."
As he said this, he looked at Shen Jizu and said, “You must be Shen Rou’s father. Once my hand touches her body, I will naturally marry her.
My Lu family will send the betrothal gifts tomorrow, you'd better let me take good care of the person, otherwise, hmph..."
After giving the warning, Lu Cailiang and his men walked away in a swagger.
He told others more than once that he had just touched Shen Rou.
Shen Jizu and Xu were still confused. No matter how you look at it, Lu Cailiang is a rich young man. Even if she can't marry the county magistrate, marrying such a rich young man would not be bad either.
"Lu Cailiang, don't be delusional. Even if I die, I, Shen Rou, will never marry you."
Lu Cailiang ignored Shen Rou's words and got into the carriage and left.
Xu helped Shen Rou go home, and Shen Jizu followed closely behind. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen's mother also went home to ask what was going on.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, your eyes will go blind."
Before leaving, Shen's mother scolded all the villagers who were watching the fun.
But Shen Rou’s affairs have nothing to do with Lin Ting, she is busy today.
The aunts in the village all came over to help clean up the dishes. While cleaning, they chatted about Shen Rou's gossip, and their hands and mouths could not stop moving.
"Do you know the young man who was about to marry Shen Rou? What's his family like? He seems quite wealthy."
The other aunt shook her head: "I don't know. You said Shen Rou was such a vicious woman. She almost killed Shen Wanyi. How could she marry a rich man in the end? God is really blind."
"No, that young man just now, didn't he say his name was Lu Cailiang?"
A woman from the next village said that her husband's family and the Shen family were from the same clan and they also came to drink.
"I think so, Auntie, do you know him?"
The old lady clapped her hands, this matter was worth talking about.
"It's really Lü Cailiang. This name has spread all over Wenzhu County. He is the only son of the landlord Lü, but he is a homosexual and not a good person..."
The old lady told all the gossip she heard in Wenzhu County to the women in Wushan Village. Now, the whole Shen residence was filled with gossip.
It felt like very little time had passed. The villagers were still talking and reluctant to leave, and suddenly it was time for dinner.
During the banquet, Lin Ting could hear the villagers talking non-stop while eating.
"What do you think? Will Shen Jizu marry Shen Rou to that homosexual?"
"I don't know. Maybe Old Lady Shen will marry Shen Rou off for money. She comes from a landlord's family."
"We'll know tomorrow. Maybe even Lu Cailiang is teasing Shen Jizu and he doesn't know about it. How can a homosexual get married?"
In the evening, the villagers also wash the pots and pans and put them away.
Lian Linting had not left until the ground outside their house had been swept.
At night, Yang Xiuxiu asked Yang Yongnian and his wife to stay at the Shen residence. Their home was a long way to go and it would take an hour and a half to walk there.
In the evening, the Lin Ting family sat in the large yard to enjoy the cool air. Shen Wanyi leaned in her arms, but was so overwhelmed by the atmosphere that she didn't dare to move.
Yang Yongnian sat there with his tall body, remaining calm in the face of danger, while Shen Dali was like a child who had made a mistake.
Yang Xiuxiu and Pan were also silent. Only Shen Qingzhou poured a cup of tea for Yang Yongnian and placed it in front of him with both hands.
"Uncle, have a cup of tea first."
