Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 63: Breaking off the Engagement
After Shen Jingjie was arrested, Mr. Shen originally planned to cancel the birthday banquet, but Shen Chengguang said that someone from the county prime minister's family would come, so Mr. Shen gave up.
Although Ms. Li was heartbroken for her son, she couldn't do anything to accompany her son to suffer. She could only kneel in front of Mr. Shen and beg him to save her grandson. Ms. Li also knew that if she went to ask the third room, the third room would definitely not He would agree, but Mr. Shen has spoken, and it would be unfilial to the third wife not to agree.
Mr. Shen looked directly at Xiao'er, and he also saw that the two young men were coming for Xiao'er, "Girl Xiao'er, look, can you beg that young man to let your cousin go?"
"Grandpa, I have just begged you. The young master has a noble status. Just putting the third cousin in jail for a month and a half is already considered a light thing. Shangguan has a national surname, and the young master may be a relative of the emperor. If one of us fails, our whole family may have to apologize together!"
Shen Baoer and Shen Yuzhu were even more excited after hearing this.
Mr. Shen was also afraid after hearing this. "From the second son's house, Zhi'er's temper is getting worse day by day, and his thoughts are not right. It's good to take this opportunity to learn a lesson. I won't stop you from taking the blame for Zhi'er, but we have to work together." But it’s not possible for me to go and apologize together.”
Li Shi stopped snoring after hearing this. If the person who was burned was really a relative of the emperor, it would be possible to kill the Nine Clan.
It was almost noon, and the village chief's family and Shen Renfu's family had been waiting in the house for a long time, feeling a little embarrassed and a little impatient. The carriage of the county magistrate's family finally arrived, and Mr. Shen was relieved to see someone coming!
Ming Zhijie, the second son of the county magistrate, walked in first, followed by a boy holding a birthday gift. Shen Chengguang stood up immediately when he saw him walking in. Since he was the son of the county magistrate, everyone also stood up.
As soon as Meijijie came in, he saluted Mr. Shen, then saluted Shen Chengguang, and then saluted the village chief, Shen Renfu, Shen Chengyao and other elders one by one. Even his peers also saluted.
"I didn't expect to see Brother Zixuan here."
"I'm here to celebrate the birthday of my great-uncle. I knew Brother Zhijie was coming, so I came here to wait for you a long time ago. I didn't expect to have to wait for a long time." The village chief can also be regarded as Mr. Shen's fifth-level nephew.
After hearing this, Mei Zhijie's face turned slightly red and he bowed again, "There was a sudden delay at home, which kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Shen Chengguang asked Ming Zhijie to sit where he originally sat. Ming Zhijie declined and sat next to Shen Zixuan.
Xiaoer looked at the legendary Shen Baoer's betrothal partner. He had a majestic appearance and a slightly thin body of seven feet. He wore a square scarf and a white brocade robe. He was a typical frail scholar. Shen Zixuan seemed to be familiar with him, and as soon as he came in, he condescended to everyone and saluted everyone. He was not condescending because of his family advantages, but was a bit gentle and shy. Shen Baoer is quite discerning, but... Thinking of the scene in the morning, someone seemed not satisfied and wanted to try another job.
Before eating, Shen Baoer personally brought everyone a bowl of chicken soup. When Meijijie saw Shen Baoer standing next to him and putting the soup down, his face couldn't help but blush, "Thank you, Miss Baoer."
Xiaoer shook her head secretly when she saw it, it was a pity.
Next to Xiaoer at the ladies table sat Shen Zixuan's sister Shen Nirui, and next to Shen Nirui sat Shen Beier. Shen Baoer brought the chicken soup to Shen Nirui and then a bowl to Shen Beier, and then Went out with the tray.
Seeing that Shen Nirui's soup had an extra piece of chicken leg meat than hers, Shen Beier touched Shen Nirui who was talking to Xiaoer with her hand, "Sister Nirui, I love chicken legs, I'll switch bowls of soup with you Okay?"
After hearing this, Shen Nirui personally changed the two bowls of soup. Shen Beier smiled at her and started eating.
Because Shen Beier was worried about being scolded by Mr. Shen Zhuang, she asked in a low voice. Everyone at the table was focused on eating and drinking, but no one noticed this scene.
"Sister Niri, drink the soup quickly. The chicken soup won't taste good when it's cold." Xiao'er didn't take this matter to heart. Shen Beier's personality is like Li's, and she loves to take advantage of others.
When Shen Bao'er came back, he saw Shen Bei'er finishing the chicken soup. He looked at the men's table again and saw that Ming Zhijie was also drinking, so he was relieved.
Before Shen Beier's meal, Mrs. Li stole a lot of meat and vegetables from the kitchen and brought them to the room for her to eat, so she was full quickly to avoid having to clean up the dishes later, so she just said "Everyone eat slowly" and hurried away. Left the table.
When Shen Baoer saw this, he was secretly happy, and his plan was half successful.
Shen Nirui had a stomachache after eating half of the meal. It was indecent to leave the table in the middle of the meal to go to the bathroom. She reluctantly finished the meal in a hurry and said, "Everyone, eat slowly. I'm full." Then she ran to the latrine.
After a while, Meijijie also left the table.
Lan just walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Meijijie coming, he asked strangely: "Is Zhijie full so quickly?"
"I don't eat much. Auntie, where is the latrine?"
Lan pointed to the backyard, "I just came out of the hut, so I closed the door to prevent the smell from coming out."
Meijijie nodded and hurried to the backyard. Remembering Lan's words, he opened the door directly.
"Ah..." Shen Nirui had just finished putting on her pants and was thinking about the belt when the door was pushed open, scaring her so much that she subconsciously screamed.
Meijijie immediately closed the door, his face flushed, and he stood outside the door at a loss, "Girl, girl, I didn't mean it... I thought there wasn't anything inside..."
Hearing the screams, Lan ran in first, "What happened? Why did I hear the shouts?"
Then, under the leadership of Shen Baoer, the people who were eating in the upper room also came over.
"There is a girl inside, I, I accidentally pushed the door open, I thought..." At this time, Meijijie was in unbearable abdominal pain and had no time to think about it. In addition, it was Lan who just told him that she had just come out of the hut. , closed the door smoothly, and then he opened the door directly, so he said it without thinking.
"Did you see the girl inside going to the toilet?" Lan tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, but her face showed worry and anger.
"No!" Meijijie waved his hands vigorously and shook his head.
"Then what did you see?" Lan asked nervously.
After hearing this, Mei Zhijie shook his head and said nothing. How could he say that he saw the girl inside tying her belt, but her face was as red as a ripe apple.
Seeing him blushing like that, everyone present thought he had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
Shen Baoer burst into tears. When Lan saw this, he walked over and hugged her and cried together. The two of them seemed to have been greatly wronged.
Mrs. Li was a little excited. Could it be that the person inside was her daughter? If it was really her daughter, then she would definitely ask Meijijie to marry her daughter. From now on, the county magistrate will be her in-laws.
The village chief, his wife and Shen Zixuan were all worried that it was Shen Nirui inside.
Shen Nirui was also panicked inside. When she heard so many people coming outside, she didn't dare to go out. Then she heard Mei Zhijie's words and became even more angry. This person was really fine and he said that something was wrong. By then She really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash her away!
Angrily, she opened the door and walked out, "He didn't see anything. When he opened the door, I had already put on my belt!"
Seeing her come out to analyze, Meiji Jie was relieved and nodded, "I really didn't see anything."
But few people present believed it.
"Since you are already dressed, why did you hide in there for a long time and didn't come out?" Mrs. Li was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"I was too scared to react."
Lan wiped her tears and looked like she was reluctant to part with her, "I watched Niri grow up, and I also love this niece from the bottom of my heart. How can I let her be ruined in the future because of this bad reputation? Zhijie , the marriage between you and Bao'er can only be cancelled. Girl Niri is also a good girl who is one of the best in a hundred."
"He really didn't see anything!" Shen Nirui was also anxious.
The village chief and his wife knew their daughter's temperament and knew that what she said was true. Every time she lied, her ears would turn red, but not this time. The village chief came out and said, "I believe my daughter's words. If she says no, it really doesn't exist."
"I also know Brother Zhijie. He is a gentleman. If he says he didn't see it, he really didn't see it."
After hearing this, Mei Zhijie felt a little grateful to Shen Zixuan. After all, this matter was related to his sister's reputation, and he was willing to speak for him.
Mrs. Li sneered after hearing this, "Of course you said that. Who wants to ruin her daughter's reputation? If I were caught and beaten to death, I would say I didn't see it!"
"You think everyone is like you. If everyone is as afraid of chaos as you, then there will be no peace in the world! If you don't even want to accompany your son to suffer, I don't believe that I will kill you. There is something you are not telling me!" The village chief's wife gave Mr. Li a hard look.
Mrs. Li didn't dare to speak out. The village chief was a local snake, and she couldn't afford to offend him. She was also hot-headed just now.
Mei Zhijie glanced at Shen Bao'er, and although he was reluctant to let go, he had indeed ruined a girl's reputation, and neither the girl nor her family had a word to blame him. What's more, she was his best friend's sister, so he couldn't bear to let go. He bowed to Lan and Shen Baoer: "Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, Ming was reckless and bumped into Brother Zixuan's sister. A man should be brave enough to take responsibility for something he did wrong. So I'm sorry. I will return the Geng Tie tomorrow. of."
Shen Baoer also stopped crying, looked at Mei Zhijie sadly, and shook his head, "I don't blame the young master, I only blame God for playing tricks on people."
Mei Zhijie felt a pain in his heart. He turned away and bowed to the village chief and his family, "Ming was reckless and caused Miss Shen's reputation to be ruined. I will be responsible. I'll take my leave now and come back tomorrow to discuss specific matters."
Shen Nirui shouted in her heart, what is happening! You obviously didn’t see anything, okay?
I have something going on at home during this time, so I can only try my best to update every day. Please forgive me.
