No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 548
The atmosphere in the lobby became more and more embarrassing, the eyes of the Liu family members looking at Liu Ruoqiu were full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

They obviously couldn't figure it out, Liu Shangshu had already bowed his head to admit that she was right, and promised to give her an explanation, why is she still so stubborn?
Even if it was really not her fault, it was always true that she lost her virginity when she was unmarried.

If there is no Liu family, how will she live in the future?
"Ruoqiu!" Mrs. Liu stood up anxiously, walked quickly to her daughter and said, "Don't mess around, admit your mistake to your father!"

Liu Ruoqiu looked at her mother indifferently, and slowly raised her hand to tear off her sleeve that was being held by her.

This is her biological mother. If anyone has any real affection for her these days, she is the only one.

Although she always obeyed her husband blindly, not only was she unable to take care of her own daughter, but she even had a lot of constraints.

But Liu Ruoqiu knew that in her heart, she really wanted to do her best.

Although it's just what she thinks is good.

"Ruo, Ruoqiu?" Seeing the sleeves slowly slipping from her fingertips, Mrs. Liu was a little uneasy.

"Ruo Qiu, your father loves you too, you have to admit your mistake, your parents won't let you go." Mrs. Liu said anxiously.

Liu Ruoqiu stood up, went to Luo Junyao and knelt down, and said: "The daughter of the people begs the princess to uphold justice for the daughter of the people."

Luo Junyao and Qin Ning stretched out their hands to pull her up, "Even if you ruin your reputation because of this, are you willing to do so?"

Liu Ruoqiu nodded, and said with a faint wry smile: "I was outside the teahouse just now, and there were quite a few people I saw. So Shangyong City doesn't know what it is like, I don't care."

Liu Shangshu's face was livid, "You don't care about your own reputation, nor the face of the Liu family?"

Liu Ruoqiu looked back at him, and said: "What does the reputation of the Liu family have to do with me?"

"you!"

"Okay, Lord Liu." Luo Jun said, "In that case, let's go to the yamen to invite someone, or let's go to the yamen together?"

Finally, Liu Shangshu couldn't bear it any longer, stood up abruptly, looked at Luo Jun and said, "Princess, this is a private matter of the Liu family, please respect yourself."

Luo Junyao said: "My concubine is not important. I also said that Liu Ruoqiu is a student of my Anlan Academy, and I am now handling this matter as the head of Anlan Academy. If the Liu family and Marquis Qiyang don't give me an explanation, we We'll see."

Zheng Jingxi sneered on the opposite side, and said to the girl who was following him: "Go back to the mansion and report to the old man and the old lady, I can't handle this matter, please come here in person."

Without waiting for the girl to respond, Liu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Why is the sixth girl like this? It's just a little misunderstanding, why bother to work for the Duke and the old man?"

Zheng Jingxi tilted his head and smiled, "Then what does Master Liu want to do?"

The expression on Liu Shangshu's face was also a little awkward, and he said: "This...the marriages of the Zheng family and the Liu family are on the left and right, since Jing Feng has already married Ruo Qiu... why not replace Ru Xia with Ruo Qiu. She's my wife's legitimate daughter, so it's more appropriate in terms of status."

"I don't agree." Liu Ruoqiu said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at Liu Ruoqiu sideways, and Liu Ruoqiu looked at his father with deep eyes and said, "I'm just a commoner girl, and I can't compete with the son of Duke Cheng's mansion. The marriage contract between the Liu family and Duke Cheng's mansion, please Master Liu resolve it yourself."

"Ruoqiu." Eldest Master Liu frowned upon hearing that, Liu Ruoqiu had already lost his body to Zheng Jingfeng, and in his opinion, this was the best solution.

If she disagrees, who else can she marry in the future?
Liu Ruoqiu looked at Eldest Young Master Liu, and suddenly smiled.

She has seen this expression too many times this year.

As if she was some uneducated stubborn ant.

Liu Ruoqiu thought to herself: Isn't it because you grew up in a better environment than me that you appear nobler than me?I don't steal or rob, and I haven't done anything shameful, so why do you look down on me?
If you look down on me, do I have to let you look down on me?

Zheng Jingchuan looked at Liu Ruoqiu at a loss, not knowing what to say, "That...I..."

He knew that he had ruined the girl's innocence, so he should take responsibility like a man.

But this girl really doesn't want him to be responsible.

At this time, Zheng Jingchuan didn't notice his "beloved" Miss Ruxia, probably a simple-minded person is so kind-hearted.

Zheng Jingchuan felt that he really liked Liu Ruxia originally, so even if the rest of the Zheng family disagreed, he still had to work hard to marry her into the family.

He will go to the battlefield with Xu Chengyu, except that he really wants to work hard, and it may not be for Liu Ruxia's intention.

But the premise of all this is based on the relationship between Liu Ruxia and him.

Now that he finds out that Liu Ruxia is not what he thought he was, and he doesn't like him, and even has some problems with his character, he can't get rid of it.

There is absolutely no reluctance to let go, love-hate entanglement.

In short, Zheng Jingchuan is not suitable to be the hero of a romance novel.

No matter how easy it is to blacken the romance script, in his place, it is estimated that he will have a drink and go for a few laps with people who are good at it.

Of course, grudges still have to be remembered.

Qi Yanghou, right?WTF!

Zheng Jingxi frowned, she was really not joking when she asked people to go back and call Cheng Guogong and his wife over.

She really can't do this master.

Liu Ruxia looked at Zheng Jingchuan calmly and said: "Mr. Zheng, what happened today is a disaster for you and me. I don't plan to stay in Shangyong forever, and I don't need the Zheng family to be responsible. Please be responsible for me in the future." As long as this didn’t happen.”

Zheng Jingchuan touched his nose and let out an embarrassing oh.

Look, Miss Liu Er really doesn't like him.

Luo Jun clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Lord Liu, you can hear Miss Ruoqiu's request clearly, now...how about you?"

Liu Shangshu said with a sullen face, "What does the princess mean?"

Luo Junyao said: "Miss Ruoqiu doesn't need anyone to be responsible, she just wants justice. I don't want to make this matter a big deal, so this justice...Either, Liu Shangshu gave it here, or we ask the government to intervene. My princess I don't believe it, how difficult it is to find out a trivial matter."

Everyone present immediately understood what Luo Junyao meant, and their eyes all surrendered to the pale Liu Ruxia.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know what happened today, and it definitely has something to do with Liu Ruxia.

Even if she is not the mastermind, at least she is an accomplice.

The Princess Regent is determined to vent her anger for Liu Ruoqiu.

"Wangfei is right." Mrs. Luo also said indifferently: "How important is the reputation of my daughter's family, if this matter is so vague, will Miss Ruoqiu's life be over in the future?"

Mrs. Liu wept and said: "Ruoqiu, you are confused. You are already like this, if you make things worse, what will happen in the future?"

Liu Ruoqiu said calmly: "No matter what the consequences are, I am willing to bear them myself." At worst, she left Shangyong and continued to study medicine and cure diseases.

What she learned in Anlan Academy this year is not only medical skills, but more importantly, Anlan Academy let her know that even if she is a woman, as long as she doesn't give up, she can always fight for the life she wants.

She already has a lot of foundation, and she may not be unable to do it if she wants to study medicine somewhere after she leaves Shangyong.

What women in this world lack is not whether they can do it, but whether they dare to think of doing it.

"Are you determined to leave the Liu family?" Liu Shangshu said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruoqiu lowered his eyes and said: "Ruoqiu was born in the countryside, so he can't afford the Liu family's status."

"Good! Good!"

Liu Shangshu stared at her and sneered, "I want to see what can happen to you!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Shangshu looked at Luo Jun again and said: "Since the princess wants to be fair, all these servants will be handed over to the princess to take away. At this time, my Liu family has nothing to do with it. No matter what they say, the princess will deal with it by herself. After all... Liu Ruoqiu It's not the Liu family anymore."

Liu Ruxia's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but look up at Liu Shangshu.

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Miss Liu is not from the Liu family either? Marquis Qi Yang has nothing to do with the Liu family?"

Liu Shangshu was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The Zheng family will inevitably turn against each other in the future, and Liu Shangshu naturally does not want to give up the relationship with Qi Yanghou.

If not, he would have expelled Liu Ruxia from the Liu family long ago.

Just because he looks towards Liu Ruxia doesn't mean that he really likes what Liu Ruxia does, it just means that Liu Ruxia can bring more benefits to the Liu family than Liu Ruoqiu.

"Report to Princess Qi, the Marquis of Qi Yang is here."

"Let him in."

Qi Yanghou's surname is Zhang and his name is Yizhi. He is a middle-aged man in his thirties this year.

His father was the first to follow Emperor Gaozu, and died young after being seriously injured in order to save the late emperor. He was raised by his widowed mother since he was a child.

Therefore, Gaozu conferred the title of Marquis of Qiyang, who was less than twenty years old.

Compared with Marquis Dingyang of the merchant, Marquis Wen Ding of the Cao family, and Marquis Yueyang of the Jiang family, this one is the title obtained purely by relying on his father's shade.

However, this does not mean that Qi Yanghou is a pure dandy waste, he was ordered by his mother to abandon martial arts and go to literature, and now at the age of 36, he is the fourth-rank Tongzheng Secretary Zuo Tongzheng.

This level is not one of the best in Dasheng Chaotang, where there are many monsters, but compared to many people in their 30s who have just been admitted to Jinshi or are still struggling to climb the sixth and seventh ranks, it is definitely outstanding.

Such a person, even if he is a little older, is indeed much better than Zheng Jingchuan in the eyes of most people.

Zhang Yizhi lost his father in his early years, and later lost his mother. He was the only one in the entire Qiyanghou Mansion.

There is no restraint by relatives, it is really just whoever he wants to marry, and the bride can directly be the master of the house after entering the house.

If there is anything wrong, it is that his wife died about two years ago, and the original wife left behind two sons and two daughters, and the oldest eldest son is 17 years old this year.

Just this point put an end to the idea of ​​most of Shangyong's nobles entering the family to be his successor.

That's all for the stepmother, there are two older sons in front of her, so what's the benefit of marrying in besides the name of Mrs. Qiyanghou?
In the future, if the husband dies early, won't he still have to depend on the face of his stepson?

I really love my daughter's family, so I naturally feel that it is better to choose a lower status but similar age as the original wife.

"My lord, Zhang Yizhi greeted the princess." Zhang Yizhi stepped into the hall, walked up to Luo Junyao and bowed.

Luo Junyao didn't know much about this guy, but he was vaguely familiar with him.

After all, Zhang Yizhi also attended various banquets in the palace.

It's just that Zhang's family is sparse, not a big family, and Zhang Yizhi doesn't have a wife, so he can't show his face in front of the regent princess, so Luo Junyao naturally doesn't know him well.

"Qi Yanghou, get up." Luo Jun shook his eyes and said lightly.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhang Yizhi said.

Qin Ning looked at him and frowned and said, "Since Marquis Qi Yang has come to Liu's house, he must know why we came to you?"

Zhang Yizhi said: "Yes."

Qin Ning stared at him steadfastly, "So, it is true that you and Liu Ruxia schemed against Mr. Zheng Qi and Miss Ruoqiu?"

Zhang Yizhi looked at Liu Ruxia reassuringly, then at Liu Ruoqiu and Zheng Jingchuan, nodded and said, "Yes."

He didn't quibble, because he knew very well that it would not be that difficult to investigate this matter, at least it would not be difficult for the people in the Prince Regent's House.

Qin Ning took a breath, looked at his calm face, and couldn't help cursing: "Shameless!"

Zhang Yizhi raised his head to look at Luo Jun and shook his head, "It's true that I did not do it properly, but I also have my own difficulties. Ruxia and I are congenial, but Ruxia has a marriage contract with the Zheng family. Isn't it just right now? I also ask the concubine to make it happen." .”

Everyone looked at him in shock, taking it for granted, Xu Hui who was hiding beside Qin Yao'er couldn't help but look at Liu Shangshu.

It turns out that such a shameless person is not an isolated case.

Luo Junyao was also choked speechless, she looked at Zhang Yizhi for a while before asking: "Do you really think this idea is good?"

Zhang Yizhi said: "What's wrong? Liu Ruoqiu is just a country girl, unbearably vulgar, it is her blessing to marry into the Zheng family."

Liu Ruoqiu was so angry that she trembled all over, she sneered and said: "I don't know if Marquis Qi Yang asked Zheng family's opinion?"

Qi Yanghou said: "With the reputation of Mr. Zheng Qi... the second girl Liu is not considered high-ranking."

In other words, one of these two people is a country girl and the other is a dandy waste, and in his eyes they are a perfect match.

"..." Luo Junyao always felt that Jiang Guanmu and the Han family were enough to make people bored, but this one in front of him was obviously better.

Although what Jiang Guanmu did was disgusting, at least he knew what he did was wrong, so he lost a bit of confidence when he confronted him.

But Zhang Yizhi obviously doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, and he may even feel that he has done a good deed.

The originally mismatched marriage was restored to what it should have been.

Zheng Jingchuan finally couldn't bear it any longer, cursed angrily, rushed up and punched Zhang Yizhi hard.

There were exclamations in the lobby, and everyone in the Liu family hurried forward to pull the two of them away, but how could they compare to a young man like Zheng Jingchuan who had been on the battlefield and is still rolling in the army every day?

Luo Jun shook his chin with one hand, and watched Zheng Jingchuan beat Zhang Yizhi with cold eyes.

"Yao Yao, will something happen?" Qin Ning asked in a low voice.

Although what Zhang Yizhi did was disgusting, he was a marquis after all, so it would be quite troublesome if he was really beaten to death.

Luo Jun shook his head, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Qin Ning looked at Zhang Yizhi who was pushed down to the ground, helpless.

Really... will nothing happen?
