No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 549
Zheng Jingchuan beat Renhao violently before finally feeling angry.

He looked at Liu Ruoqiu who was standing on the side, and asked: "Miss Liu Er, do you want to beat me a few times too?" Liu Ruoqiu looked at the people on the ground with disgust, and shook her head.

She really couldn't understand how there could be such a shameless person in this world.

What's more, she couldn't understand Liu Ruxia's gaze. What good would it do for her to do such a thing for this kind of person?Is it just because of his status as a marquis?Is she so sure that they don't dare to make a big deal and won't involve her?

Zheng Jingchuan was still angry, and kicked Zhang Yi's foot fiercely on the ground, but Zheng Jingxi stopped him before he gave up.

"Princess, my Zheng family will definitely not let this matter go! You are a witness, and you heard what this bastard said just now? Please also ask the concubine to uphold justice." Zheng Jingchuan was not really stupid, he turned around and waved his hands at Luo Jun.

Luo Jun shook his head and looked down at the people on the ground, "Marquis Qiyang, what do you think of this beating?"

Zhang Yizhi stood up with some difficulty, gritted his teeth and said, "We are the ones who are sorry for Mr. Zheng Qi at this time. I admit this beating, and it is an apology to Mr. Zheng Qi."

"Bah!" Zheng Jingchuan spat at him, "What do you think you are? Who cares about your apology? Today's matter, don't give me an explanation for the young master, I will let you crawl out of Liu's house!"

A trace of contempt flashed in Zhang Yizhi's eyes, and he said: "Sir Zheng Qi, I will not deny what I have done, and taking this does not mean that you can insult my personality. Zhizhi forced Ruxia to marry you. I sent someone to send the second girl Liu there, but I didn't let you..."

"What did you say?!" Zheng Jingchuan glared angrily at the person in front of him, and said sharply.

Zhang Yizhi said proudly, "What's wrong?"

"When did I take advantage of others?" Zheng Jingchuan said.

Zhang Yizhi said: "If you didn't take advantage of others' danger, how could you agree to marry you with Xia's appearance?"

Zheng Jingchuan was trembling with anger, and couldn't help his eyes turning red.

He looked at Liu Ruxia and said, "Is that how you told him about me?"

Liu Ruxia shook her head again and again, her face was pale and her eyes were dim with tears, "I...I didn't, I..."

Zhang Yizhi stood behind Liu Ruxia, and said coldly: "Why do you need Ruxia to say it yourself? You might as well ask, as long as there are eyes, who would think you are compatible?"

Zheng Jingchuan was amused, and waited for Zhang Yizhi for a long time before gritting his teeth and sneering: "I am too lazy to argue with idiots!"

Zhang Yizhi didn't care about Zheng Jingchuan's words, and said: "If Mr. Zheng feels that he has lost money, and needs some compensation, just ask."

Zheng Jingchuan sneered and said, "Just open your mouth? All right, you go to Nanfeng Hall to find a man to sleep with you for a night, and I'm done with this matter here."

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Yizhi never thought that Zheng Jingchuan was a stingy dandy who would make such an absurd request, "You, you are simply... an insult to gentleness!"

Zheng Jingchuan said: "When you hooked up with Liu Ruxia, you didn't look gentle. Stop talking nonsense, today's business is not over! Let's see you tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Yizhi's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just a small personal matter. Don't Mr. Zheng feel that it's too much of a fuss to make a big fuss?"

Zheng Jingchuan sneered and said, "My son likes to fuss over fuss, how do you treat it?"

Zhang Yizhi glanced at Liu Ruoqiu and said, "Mr. Zheng has a bad reputation, so he doesn't care about Miss Liu?"

Liu Ruoqiu said: "I would like to work with Mr. Zheng to seek justice for myself."

"..." Zhang Yizhi looked at Liu Ruoqiu in shock, apparently unable to understand how a woman would make such a ridiculous decision.

If people know that she lost her life to Zheng Jingchuan, no matter whose fault it is, Liu Ruoqiu will definitely not be able to escape the contempt and insult of the world.

No woman could endure such humiliation, and he was sure of this point before he dared to scheme against Liu Ruoqiu and Zheng Jingchuan.A family like the Zheng family would never watch a weak woman suffer misfortune because of this, and would most likely decide to let Zheng Jingchuan marry Liu Ruoqiu.

In this way, Zheng Jingchuan and Liu Ruxia's marriage contract can no longer be carried out, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Who knew that Zheng Jingchuan and Liu Ruoqiu would play their cards so unreasonably?

"You..." Zhang Yizhi looked at Zheng Jingchuan and Liu Ruoqiu, neither of them could speak for a while.

Zheng Jingchuan raised his chin proudly and said, "Let's see you in court!"

Luo Junyao looked at the crowd with a smile, and said: "Since that's the case, let's do it today. Miss Ruoqiu, do you want to go with us first, or stay at Liu's house?"

"I'll go with Wangfei, I beg Wangfei to take him in for a day." Liu Ruoqiu said hastily.

She is not stupid, she naturally knows that if she stays at Liu's house today, it will be hard to say whether she can go out tomorrow.

"Liu Ruoqiu!" Liu Shangshu said angrily, "If you dare to go out today, you won't have to come back in the future."

Liu Ruoqiu took a deep look at Liu Shangshu, and said calmly: "I will remember Master Liu's words. I have disturbed Master Liu during this time. I will return the flowers I spent at the house these days. If there is a chance, I will definitely return them. But, I must seek justice for what the eldest lady of your mansion has done to me."

Liu Shangshu was trembling with anger, even if he didn't pay much attention to Liu Ruoqiu, she was still his own daughter after all.Now hearing her say such things to him in such a distant and even unfamiliar tone, how could Liu Shangshu, as a father, not be angry?
Madam Liu next to her cried even more bitterly, "Ruo Qiu, Ruo Qiu... We are your relatives, do you really want to leave us?"

Liu Ruoqiu said: "Dear one? Then Mrs. Liu is willing to deal with Liu Ruxia for me?"

Mrs. Liu was at a loss for words and couldn't help raising her eyes to look at her husband.

She herself is naturally willing to dispose of Liu Ruxia for her daughter, even if she is also her own raised daughter.

But ever since she knew that she was not her own, knew her identity and what her biological parents did to Ruo Qiu, she didn't have any love for her left in her heart.

But she also knew that it was not up to her to decide.

Seeing the expression on her face, Liu Ruoqiu shook her head and couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart.

What is she still looking forward to?

"Princess." Liu Ruoqiu walked to Luo Junyao's side, lowered her eyes and stood silently.

Luo Junyao stood up and said to the others, "Let's go."

Qin Ning didn't want to stay anymore, she jumped up from her chair, pulled Liu Ruoqiu and said, "Go with my princess, you will live in the princess mansion these few days, this princess wants to see, who dares to make things difficult for you?" you."

After finishing speaking, he gave everyone in the Liu family a hard look.

Liu Shangshu said nothing with a cold face, just silently watching the group of people walk away.

"Master Zheng..." Liu Ruxia took a few steps forward and called out with some hesitation.

Zheng Jingchuan looked back at her with a cold and solemn expression, without any extra emotion.

In the early morning of the next day, the Zheng family really sued Zhang Yizhi and the Liu family.

Cheng Guogong, who had already been at home for a long time, went to the palace in person and accused Qi Yanghou of colluding with a woman who had already made a marriage contract.

In an instant, the Liu family, which had just experienced the matter of true and false daughters at the beginning of the year and became the talk of the people of Shangyong, became popular again.It's just that this time the situation is very unfavorable to the Liu family.

The Liu family was regarded as a victim of what happened last time. Although many people secretly laughed at the Liu family's lack of strict family management, they still showed some tolerance towards the Liu family.

But this time is different, this time the Liu family is the perpetrator.

When Liu Ruxia's status was embarrassing and downcast, Zheng Jingchuan made a marriage contract with Liu Ruxia against all opinions, which also gave Liu Ruxia the capital to continue to stay in the Liu family safely.However, Liu Ruxia mingled with Qi Yanghou, who had a higher status, when Zheng Jingchuan was away.

The Liu family even supported her actions, how could this be liked?
Cheng Guogong's mansion did not take care of Liu Ruoqiu, it only said that Zhang Yizhi designed Zheng Jingchuan, intending to use the rape to force the Zheng family to voluntarily withdraw the engagement.

As a result, everyone became even more angry.

It's fine to have an affair with someone, and the crime must be thrown on the victim.

Isn't this a bitch and still need to set up a memorial archway?
There was an uproar in the court at the moment.

Xie Yan did not deal with the matter in the early court, but called the Zheng family, the Liu family and Zhang Yizhi to the imperial study.

"Old Duke, please sit down." Xie Yan looked at the white-haired Cheng Guogong.

Cheng Guogong thanked him, walked aside and sat down.

Others didn't have this kind of treatment. Feeling the dignified and solemn aura around the regent, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Xie Yan sat on the main seat and looked at the crowd for a long time before putting all the papers in his hand on the table with a bang.

The sudden and clear voice made everyone startled.

"Everyone really impresses me." Xie Yan said suddenly, calmly.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they quickly lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Even Zheng Jingchuan, who danced the most, obediently shut his mouth under his father's signal.

Xie Yan didn't look at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "I have already heard about this matter from my concubine, what else do you have to say now? Zhang Yizhi, do you accept the accusation of the Zheng family?"

Zhang Yizhi leaned over and said: "Return to the lord, this matter is indeed inappropriate for the minister, but the minister..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thick book had already been smashed down.

Zhang Yizhi was dizzy from the impact, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only look down at the cover of the book that fell on the ground.

Xie Yan said coldly: "Just admit it, pick it up and see for yourself if you have been wronged?"

Zhang Yizhi hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over to pick up the folder, Zhang Yizhi's face changed a little just as he opened it.

In the booklet, the things between him and Liu Ruxia from their acquaintance until yesterday were recorded clearly and in detail, and there were some small things that even he had forgotten.

He and Liu Ruxia met by accident shortly after Zheng Jingchuan went out with the regent.In the beginning, he really didn't think much about it. At that time, he was looking at candidates for the successor, but he wasn't so confused as to provoke a girl who he knew was already engaged.

It was just a few days later that he and the Liu family were trapped in a temple outside the city by heavy rain.At that time, his youngest daughter suddenly developed a high fever, and it was the Liu family who helped him bring the medicine.

The next day, he accidentally saw Liu Ruxia playing with his little daughter who had just recovered from illness, and the two of them said a few more words.

Later, somehow, the two gradually became familiar with each other.He also gradually discovered that Liu Ruxia was not living happily.Her current status is embarrassing, her life is not going well, and she often weeps secretly.

He couldn't help comforting her, gradually a different feeling developed unconsciously between you and me.Not long ago, they did something wrong in a moment of distraction.Neither of them cared about much, but Liu Ruxia's marriage was getting more and more serious with each passing day, but Liu Ruxia's marriage was always stuck in her throat like a bone.

He had to find a way to dissolve the marriage.

But he also knew that Zheng Jingchuan was very obsessed with Ruxia, and it was impossible for Zheng Jingchuan to take the initiative to terminate the engagement without hurting his sweetheart's reputation.As a last resort, Zhang Yizhi could only cast his eyes on Liu Ruoqiu.

Zhang Yizhi didn't feel that he was sorry for Liu Ruoqiu, if it wasn't for this incident, it would be almost impossible for Liu Ruoqiu to marry into a family with similar background as Zheng Jingchuan.

Even though Liu Ruoqiu is the biological daughter of the Liu family, but just hearing that she has lived in the countryside for more than ten years, it prevents most people from considering the possibility of Liu Ruoqiu being their daughter-in-law.

It just so happened that Ruxia felt a little guilty towards Liu Ruoqiu all the time, letting her marry into such a noble family as Cheng Guogong's mansion, and it's not that the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law will not have to bear the heavy responsibility of housekeeper in the future, so why would Liu Ruoqiu be dissatisfied?
However, the reality is that Liu Ruoqiu was just dissatisfied, and she was not afraid of losing face at all, so she joined forces with Zheng Jingchuan to sue him.

"Finish?" The regent's icy voice sounded in his ears, Zhang Yizhi finally came back to his senses, and managed to finish reading all the content with a few quick glances.

Xie Yan asked: "Is there any falsehood?"

Zhang Yizhi shook his head with some difficulty. What was written above was basically the truth.

Xie Yan nodded and said: "Very well, after all, the son of the old Marquis Qi Yang still has a bit of blood and integrity. He has an affair with a woman who has already made a marriage contract, designs to frame others, and destroys the woman's reputation. For the common people. Remove the position of the general administration of the fourth grade general administration department and demote it to the experience of the general administration department."

Zhang Yi was taken aback, his face was full of astonishment, obviously he did not expect that he would be punished so severely.

"My lord, my minister..."

"What objection do you have?"

Under Xie Yan's indifferent eyes, Zhang Yizhi silently swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Xie Yan continued: "The Zheng and Liu families terminated the engagement, and the Liu family returned the Zheng family as a courtesy, and compensated the Zheng family with 800 taels of gold and 3000 taels of silver. Zhang Yizhi compensated the Zheng family with 5000 taels of silver, the victim's 3 taels of silver, and [-] acres of land. , one of the two mansions in Shangyonghuang City."

In the end, Xie Yan glanced at everyone, and said: "Zhang Yizhi and Liu Ruxia, privately gave and received, schemed against others, each held forty sticks, and showed them to the public for three months."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Yizhi lost his mind, but Liu Ruxia also collapsed on the ground in an instant.

Xie Yan looked at Liu Shangshu, and said coldly: "There is no way to teach a daughter, she will be demoted to a first class, and her salary will be fined for one year."

Liu Shangshu only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, what is this?Isn't stealing a chicken a loss?
Xie Yan looked at Cheng Guogong who was sitting on the side, and asked, "Guo Gong, are you satisfied with this king's treatment?"

Cheng Guogong stood up and said respectfully: "Old minister, I thank the prince for making the decision. My grandson is so incompetent that the prince laughed at me."

Xie Yan glanced at the listless Zheng Jingchuan and said: "The Duke of the country is serious, and the generals will come out of the door, and the young people just need less tempering."

After hearing this, Cheng Guogong laughed loudly and said: "Thank you, my lord. What my lord said is that this kid lacks some experience, and he is indulging in personal relationships with his children at a young age. How decent is he?"

Zheng Jingchuan only felt a chill on his neck, and he had an inexplicable bad feeling.
