古代闺秀被强高H

He was still thinking about whether or not to start working as he was with a child, he was already in trouble…so there was no need for him to stay quiet with more trouble that was coming his way.

The same thing was happening at the house of those mers whose parents went to the Big River Village to find trouble with Yu Dong.

Sister Zou looked at her daughter who was furious and tried to calm her down. " I know that you are Jiahao but we did not think that the situation would turn around like this——"

Zou Jiaohao turned to look at her mother and then shouted, " Then you should have thought of it carefully! My uncle asked you all to come and find trouble with the leader of the village and you all went rushing without even thinking? If that woman was this easy to deal with do you think that she would have become the leader, how foolish can you be?"

" Now because of them my marriage has been called off, what are we going to do about it?" Zou Jiaohao was about to get married in the upcoming three weeks this was also the reason why her grandparents went along with the plan that Peng Jing came up with, as she told them that if they were successful then she would give them two or three taels.

It was a big sum for families like them, even if they were to get a single tael they would be able to have a wonderful wedding banquet and thus with their greed ignited, they couldn\'t stop themselves from running after Peng Jing not even caring about whether or not what the idea that she came up with was risk-free or not.

Mother Zou rubbed her head, her face was dark as well. Clearly, this was the mess created by the Peng family but the one who was suffering was her daughter.

" Zou Zexi! How many times I have told you to stay away from that troublesome brother of yours? Your mother did a number on us by marrying him off to that Peng Jing, it\'s bad enough that they come looking for this and that when they run out of food but now they even caused your mother to be locked up in jail! Are you trying to get our family killed?"

Mother Zou took a sip of her tea causing her husband to turn even more furious as he glared at her and snapped, " Say something! What are we going to do now? Your parents are in jail the entire village is calling us unfilial and my daughter\'s wedding is cancelled!"

" I will go and take a look at the Yamen tomorrow," Mother Zou rubbed her eyes with her thumb and middle finger before saying, " I don\'t think that they will still keep our parents locked up if we grease their palms a little. Just …take out some good wine and kill two chickens, I will see what I can do."

Though they did not have many connections in the town, Mother Zou did know a few Yamen officials maybe they might be able to help her a little. She did not care about her parents as they were the ones who foolishly followed Peng Jing but if they were locked up in the Yamen, her husband and she would definitely be criticized and what was more her daughter\'s wedding would be put on hold because of her parents\' arrest.

Everything could be settled but if her daughter\'s wedding was cancelled then how will their family continue?

However Mother Zou seemed to have kicked an iron board this time even when she begged and pleaded with the Yamen official, the latter shook her head and then calmly said to her, "It is not that I don\'t want to help you, Zexi but your parents have offended someone who had relations with the magistrate, you tell me how am I supposed to help you in such a situation? There is literally nothing that I can do to help you at the moment."

Mother Zou was shocked upon finding that they seemed to have really kicked an iron plate this time. She tried to talk with the official but the latter refused saying that there was absolutely nothing that she could do with the current situation.

In the end not only Peng family and their in-laws did not get anything they were even asked to pay a silver tael each to Yu Dong and her family. The reason being they have caused great injuries to the young and old and they needed to also come up with five hundred copper coins for those who were involved in the brawl. As for Peng Jing and her family, they were related to the matter directly and thus they were not allowed to leave that easily, instead, they were dragged around the city with their faces covered in ink.

It was such a humiliating sight that many mers who were married in the Peng family left one by one, they did not want to be surnamed Peng including Master Peng who was with a child. He declared that he would rather follow an old woman than stay at the Peng house leaving the children who had nowhere and no one to take care of alone.
