"Not only is it ugly, it is also extremely filthy. It is said that I was bitten by poisonous insects in the ravine, which caused sores all over my body. There is a foul-smelling pus at the slightest touch..."
"...Brother, I'm eating right now."
"Ah...forgive me, forgive me."
"You don't know that these are just secondary reasons. The main reason is that Su Ping's conduct is extremely bad."
"I know this. Duke Dingguo wanted to marry his granddaughter in repayment of his kindness, but he was dissatisfied and insisted on getting married."
"Hey~ You are out of date a long time ago. I heard that Su Ping bullied men and women, and used his status as a benefactor to do all kinds of evil in the Duke's mansion. Several maids have been tortured to death by him..."
"I've heard about it too. It seems that even eighty-year-old women have not been spared."
"Hi~ So fierce!"
"This is too much, this is too much!"
"Does Duke Dingguo's great reputation all his life have to fall into the hands of such a shameless villain?"
"Hey, what can we do? Duke Ding values love and righteousness. I'm afraid even if he has to pay the Duke's palace, he must repay his kindness."
"Mrs. Crown Prince is a woman after all. She is too merciful. If it were me, I would kill this kid while the Duke is leaving the capital..."
"We have a good family, but we meet such a scoundrel. It's really hard to explain."
"..."
At first, it was only people in two corners talking, but just because they didn't lower their voices, the topic spread to the entire lobby in just a few moments.
With everyone's words, they described Su Ping as a being even more hateful than a barbarian.
Su Ping's face was cold, and he didn't care about wasting a pot of drunken immortal brew. He got up and left directly, heading to the Duke's Mansion.
If the reputation of a son-in-law is already bad, then the idea of 'taking the initiative to marry into a wife' is completely beyond the scope of bad reputation.
Judging from how popular it is, I'm afraid it has spread throughout Yangjing.
How many days have passed since the marriage contract was signed?
If he said that no one was deliberately pushing behind this, Su Ping would not believe it even to death.
As for who it is, there is no doubt about the answer.
Su Ping was sure that as long as he stood up and said "I am Su Ping", he would be drowned in countless saliva immediately.
Three people make a tiger, and a crowd of words makes a gold.
He knew that public opinion had been pushed to this point, and the facts were no longer important. He had become the Su Ping who "does no evil".
As for why it is necessary to achieve this level...it is actually not difficult to imagine.
Both responsible and established.
If it's not enough to force someone to marry into your wife, you're going to kill someone just for the sake of morality?
I endured it over and over again, but in exchange I got more and more.
Su Ping walked quickly with murderous intent in his eyes, and oncoming passers-by retreated.
And some things in the world are just such coincidences.
Su Ping, who was full of tyranny, had just stepped into the Duke's mansion when he saw the maid Cuizhu walking towards her room.
"stop."
"...Su, Su Ping?"
Cuizhu turned around and was a little scared when she saw it was Su Ping.
Su Ping had a cold face and slowly approached step by step.
The ferocity in his eyes made Cuizhu have no doubt that Su Ping wanted to kill him.
Cuizhu backed away in horror, "You, what do you want to do? Believe it or not, I called someone!?"
"Calling someone?"
Su Ping smiled gloomily, "It's best if you call everyone in the Duke's Mansion and let them take a good look at how a long-tongued and poisonous woman died."
"You want to kill me?"
Cuizhu staggered suddenly at his feet and fell to the ground. He stepped back on his hands and feet and shouted loudly: "No! You can't kill me! Why do you kill me? I came to find you on the order of the Crown Prince's wife. You
Dare you kill me?!"
Madam Prince?
Shen Xinlan’s mother?
Su Ping stamped his feet and narrowed his eyes: "Say."
"Husband... madam asked me to inform you that in three days it will be the auspicious day to marry the eldest lady... let you, let you prepare."
Cuizhu finished speaking intermittently.
In fact, there was nothing for Su Ping to prepare. All Zhou told Cuizhu was to inform Su Ping. The latter sentence was purely added by Cuizhu himself out of fear that Su Ping would be angry and kill someone.
Three days later...
Su Ping calmed down instantly and began to think about the deeper meaning.
In three days, even if Emperor Yongtai issued an order immediately, it would be difficult for Duke Ding to come back in such a short time.
When the granddaughter got married, Duke Dingguo, the head of the family, was not present. This was a violation of etiquette.
Why should I let myself get married at this time even though I risk being criticized by others?
Shen Yushu had clearly said that he would wait until he passed the imperial examination before choosing a date for marriage.
Now that the order has been changed, could it be that... I don't want myself to take part in the provincial examination?
You know, in ten days there will be the rural examination in Pingtianfu, where Yangjing is located.
No...that doesn't make sense.
He hid himself very well, and no one knew that he had developed talents and became a first-level Confucian scholar.
Those in the back house would never have guessed that they were sure of passing the examination, and they probably wouldn't even believe that they would take part in the provincial examination.
Unless...it's to nip it in the bud!
Thinking of this, the murderous intention in Su Ping's heart slowly retreated, he took a step forward and squatted down in front of Cuizhu.
Cuizhu trembled suddenly, thinking that Su Ping was about to take action, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Do not be afraid."
Su Ping smiled and reached out to pat Cuizhu's cheek, "Since my mother-in-law ordered you to come here, I will spare your life, but it's best not to let me hear what words are coming from you again."
"you……"
Cuizhu was embarrassed and angry, but she felt relaxed about surviving the disaster.
"After all, Quan Yang Jingdu now knows that I can even accept old women. You, although you are a bit ugly, are you still young after all?"
After saying that, Su Ping stood up and stepped directly over Cuizhu.
Just now, his murderous intention was real, and he did have the intention to kill someone.
It's not impulsive, but I want to use my blood to tell some people that I can't be bullied by others.
Ruin my reputation?
Can.
I can't reverse this.
Then don't blame me for setting it down.
Aren't you the ones who claim that I do all kinds of evil and are tolerant of you?
Then I have truly committed all kinds of evil, do you have any other choice besides tolerating it?
This was Su Ping's previous plan.
However, the strangeness of the wedding date made him calm down quickly.
Although given his own situation, it is unlikely that the Duke's Mansion would hold a banquet according to ancient rituals, but once Cuizhu is killed, it will be a clear sign.
Even if the other party is afraid that he will break the jar, he will never remain indifferent.
Once again, if it affects your provincial examination, it is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.
After all, if you want to turn over step by step, you can only start with the middle lift.
Grudges, and the future, we still need to prioritize.
Cuizhu watched helplessly as Su Ping walked away and entered the house. She was stunned for a moment and actually burst into tears.
Many low-level servants hid in the room and watched secretly. While feeling happy, they also felt a little more in awe of Su Ping.
On this day, dozens of invitations came out from the Duke's Mansion and were scattered to various places in Yangjing.
All those with an official rank of fourth rank or above, or with a title of uncle or above, all received invitations.
Of course, invitations are also divided into levels.
The highest-level invitations are made entirely of pure gold. The ligatures are written by calligraphers, then carved by master craftsmen, and finally colored with silver powder.
But there was only one copy of this, and it was sent deep into the palace.
The next level is gold with black characters.
According to common sense, even the highest official position, the Imperial College, where the wine offering was only at the fourth level, could not reach the banquet level of the Duke's Mansion.
But that day, two gold stickers with black letters were sent to me.
"Su Ping?"
Wen Daoyuan looked at the name on the post and frowned.
"What's weird? Su Ping's name has spread all over Yangjing these days, don't you know?"
Yin Dongqiu said indifferently with two dark circles under his eyes.
He also had the same invitation in his hand.
"It's not like you don't know that I don't like to go out."
Wen Daoyuan glanced at Yin Dongqiu and said, "I'm just wondering why there are so many people named Su popping up recently."
The son-in-law of the Duke's mansion was named Su. The person who started the craze for vernacular scripts was also named Su. There was also a supervisor named Su who had a photographic memory.
It just so happened that they came out not long after each other.
It always feels like there is some kind of connection.
"It seems there is no hidden family named Su, right?"
Wen Daoyuan stroked his gray beard, "But speaking of it...I still don't know what that guy's name is..."
"You mean that boy with a photographic memory?"
Yin Dongqiu scratched his head, "He seemed to have told me when he first came here."
"what is it call?"
Wen Daoyuan asked.
"I forgot."
Yin Dongqiu spread his hands in a very bachelor manner.
This made Wen Daoyuan immediately give up his plan to release the follow-up parts of "The Young Master Enters the Marriage".
Old guy, you deserve to suffer.
"What, you want to go?"
Yin Dongqiu asked, "You didn't even go to the crown prince to accept his concubine the year before last."
"Do you think I'm like you? I invite everyone, don't give me any money, and still eat and drink with a shameful face."
Wen Daoyuan thought for a while and then said: "However, it doesn't hurt to go there this time."
"It's not easy for Mr. Shen in the north. I just want to take this opportunity to show his face and avoid anyone's attention."
