Chapter 262 Virtue
Chapter 262 Virtue
"Alright, stop talking and go back!" Huang Wanwan didn't expect Liu Musheng to speak up, so she quickly stopped him.
Liu Musheng, no longer timid, retorted, "Where am I supposed to go? You were harassed by this trash, and your aunt wants you to apologize to him? Huang Wanwan, is this how you're treated at home?!"
"What I've done to upset you is none of your business. Just leave." Huang Wanwan didn't want him to cause any more trouble.
Liu Musheng clenched his fists. "Say it again, it has nothing to do with me?" His voice trembled. He never expected that standing up for her would be met with disdain.
Huang Wanwan didn't dare to look up at him, but she caught a glimpse of his injury out of the corner of her eye. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't dare to speak.
At this moment, a man walked out of the pharmacy to Ding Huangshi's side, his face as cold as ice.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Madam, but I think it would be better to reconsider this marriage proposal." Lü Shan was the compiler at the Hanlin Academy who was the man who proposed marriage to Huang Wanwan.
He saw Huang Wanwan hitting someone in the pharmacy, and saw Liu Musheng stand up for her... All of this made him feel extremely humiliated!
How could such a morally corrupt woman become his wife? If she hadn't come from the family of the Minister of Justice, Lü Shan wouldn't have even considered it.
Ding Huangshi was so angry that her face turned ashen. This was the most suitable family she could find for Huang Wanwan!
Huang Wanwan's face tightened; she had anticipated this scene. "There's no need for further discussion; I can't marry you." She never liked Lü Shan to begin with.
Lu Shan paused, then suddenly gave a mocking laugh. "It's good that Miss Huang thinks that way, otherwise I wouldn't know how to refuse. Although I come from an ordinary family, I am from a scholarly family, and I really cannot accept a woman with a fiery temper into my household. I apologize."
He bowed deeply to Madam Ding, then turned and left.
Madam Ding was so angry that she was furious. She ordered her servants to accompany her to the carriage, ignored Huang Wanwan, and ordered them to return to the mansion.
Huang Wanwan held back her tears, after all, there were still many people present.
Liu Musheng hadn't expected this turn of events. He stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
Jiang Changyang originally wanted to escape, but now that he'd gotten a new joke, he decided to stay put.
"You beat me up so readily, but you beat your own groom to death? With a personality like yours, you think you can be the wife of a compiler in the Hanlin Academy? What a joke!" He didn't hold back his sarcasm.
Huang Wanwan ignored him and turned to leave.
Liu Musheng looked anxious and asked, "Where are you going?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Huang Wanwan's tone was extremely cold and sorrowful.
Liu Musheng swallowed hard. "I didn't mean to just now..." How did he know that the man surnamed Lü was also in the pharmacy? If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have stood up for himself!
"Get out of the way!" Huang Wanwan ordered.
Liu Musheng wanted to persist, but seeing her clenched fists, he was afraid of being hit, so he could only move two steps to the side.
Huang Wanwan snorted coldly and left angrily, and Liu Musheng chased after her.
"See that? You two are a pair of adulterers! Bah!" Jiang Changyang deliberately shouted angrily, but in fact, the person he hated the most was Liu Musheng.
This piece of trash actually looks down on his sister? Now his sister might marry into the Right Chancellor's family, which is much better than the Liu family!
He doesn't care about money; what he cares about is the prestige of the mansion!
Wei Gongming was there the whole time, but he silently hid and didn't say a word.
Today, he was supposed to accompany Jiang Changyang to settle a case involving an assault, but he never expected that this spoiled brat, who was already embroiled in legal troubles, would dare to harass the daughter of the Minister of Justice on the street. He was simply courting death!
Wei Gongming knew Huang Fan's abilities all too well. Despite his favoritism towards his concubines over his wife, he was also extremely protective of his own.
You bullied his daughter; you'll face retribution...
"Everyone's gone, Young Master Jiang should head back soon too." He also wanted to leave quickly, after all, it wasn't something that would make him look good.
Jiang Changyang rushed into the pharmacy, shouting, "Why are you leaving? I still have injuries on my face..." He led his men into the pharmacy and called for a doctor.
Wei Gongming stood at the door, hesitating whether to return to the county government office, when he caught a glimpse of a familiar carriage flashing by.
He took two steps outwards, only to see the carriage's silhouette gradually disappear from sight.
"Liu Musheng must have owed you something in his past life, why don't you take revenge on him?" He knew, of course, that was Liu Yuechu's carriage, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
But he couldn't get an answer, so he could only turn around and go back to the pharmacy to find Jiang Changyang again to confirm the compensation money for that family.
Liu Yuechu was naturally unaware that Wei Gongming had seen her.
She, along with Granny Fang and Lin Mengyu, had been hiding on the periphery of the crowd, secretly watching, but they never expected to witness such a spectacular show that they were too shocked to show their faces!
"My goodness, I don't think the young master deserved to be beaten at all!" Huajiao exclaimed, speechless.
They've ruined Huang Wanwan's marriage just like that. This grudge is probably going to be hard to resolve.
Granny Fang was also very annoyed, "This is a mess now. What if the Jiang family seizes this opportunity to extort the princess? Then we'll be in a weak position!"
"I never expected that Wanwan would actually be with your older brother..." Lin Mengyu had truly stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip!
She truly felt that this trip had been worthwhile, and all she wanted to do was get home quickly and talk to Lu Bingyang!
Liu Yuechu never expected Liu Musheng to be so ruthless, but everyone around her was bullied...
"parking."
"exist."
"Go and beat that Lü Shan up first, then feed him some swill, so he'll learn his lesson for talking so well!"
"Yes."
The servant obeyed and left, but Granny Fang was startled. "What are you doing? That's someone close to His Majesty. Don't underestimate him just because he doesn't hold a high official position!" She actually sent someone to attack a compiler in the Hanlin Academy?
"What's wrong with the people around Your Majesty? If Your Majesty finds them smelly, you can find someone else." Liu Yuechu didn't care about any of that.
Their Yuan family just rendered a service to the Great Qi, can't they be a little more arrogant?
She absolutely cannot tolerate Wanwan bullying her!
"Huajiao, sneak into the pharmacy from the back and let the doctor treat Jiang Changyang properly!"
The medicinal herbs in this pharmacy are supplied by the Liu family; otherwise, Liu Musheng wouldn't have come here today.
Upon hearing his master's tone, Huajiao knew that Jiang Changyang was in trouble. But since this man dared to bully the young master and insult Miss Huang, Huajiao really wanted to teach him a lesson!
……
The maids and servants went off to carry out their respective tasks.
Liu Yuechu's carriage didn't stop for a while; it first took Lin Mengyu home before returning to the Liu family.
But Liu Musheng returned home shortly after she got home.
He was dejected and listless, as if he had lost his soul; even a thousand-year-old ginseng could not heal the sorrow in his heart.
"You're back?" Liu Yuechu called him twice, but he didn't hear her. She could only take a few steps closer and call out once more.
Upon seeing her, Liu Musheng shuddered. "Ah, you're back. Are you alright? I'm busy..." He scurried away, afraid that Liu Yuechu would scold him if she found out the truth.
Liu Yuechu originally wanted to tell him that he had taken revenge on Jiang Changyang and Lü Shan, but they might come after him.
"Fine, let them do whatever they want, we're just killing time anyway..."
