The young couple had a successful marriage, and the wedding night was also very harmonious.
On the other side, several members of the Chen family have been dreaming of getting rich.
Wu didn't know how many times she had said it, Xiuyun entered the Wei family, and she would become a noble lady. This time they could get one hundred taels, and there would be countless more one hundred taels in the future.
Even Chen Mingyi was happy, and the uneasiness about selling his granddaughter had been exhausted after Wu said the word "money" countless times.
He planned to use the money to repair the house. When Chen Zhongda became an official in a few years, the house would look more elegant.
The next day, Wu and Yang waited and saw no one from the Wei family. Chen Hongchang even ran to the entrance of the village to look around.
"Didn't come, not a soul was around. Mom, they won't default on their debt, right?"
Wu said, "Why are you defaulting on your debt? So many people are watching. Xiuyun was picked up by them, so you have to pay."
"That's right. I guess I'm busy with things at home."
No one came until the afternoon, and the whole family couldn't sit still. Mrs. Wu wanted Chen Hongchang to go directly to the Wei family to find someone to get money.
As soon as Chen Hongchang reached the entrance of the village, he saw Butler Wei coming with several people and a sedan.
He naturally thought that the person in the sedan was Chen Xiuyun. The second day after entering the house, he actually brought him back to meet his parents. It seemed that the second master of the Wei family was very satisfied.
Chen Hongchang ran back to tell the good news, and the family continued to wait. As a result, Butler Wei and his party passed by the door of Chen's house and walked straight ahead without any intention of stopping.
"Steward Wei, our house is here, where are you going?" Mrs. Wu hurried out to call someone to stop her.
Butler Wei looked back and said, "So what if I'm here? I'm not coming to your house. I'll talk about it later if I have something to do. I'm taking our new aunt back today, so I don't have time to chat."
Wu felt uncomfortable hearing this and hurriedly chased after her, but Butler Wei ignored her.
The whole family was confused now. They looked around at the door for a while and saw that the sedan seemed to be parked in front of Chen Er's house. After a while, Butler Wei picked up the people and passed by the door again.
Chen Hongchang went directly to stop them, "What's going on? What do you mean by picking up my aunt? Didn't our Xiuyun just come in yesterday?"
Butler Wei said with a puzzled look, "Your girl entered the Liu family. What does it have to do with us picking up my aunt? Are you crazy?"
"Don't do it in front of me if you're sick. You're busy. Are you responsible if you delay your time?"
Several members of the Chen family suddenly panicked, what about the Liu family? They’ve never heard of it!
Chen Mingyi said, "May I ask Butler Wei, which family is the Liu family? My granddaughter is obviously negotiating with the Wei family, so why is she related to the Liu family?"
"Yesterday, so many people in the village saw it with their own eyes, but Butler Wei came to pick him up in person. There is no reason to deny it."
Butler Wei said calmly, "The Liu family are my wife's distant relatives. Yesterday, my wife's nephew was married. The bridegroom was sitting majestically on the horse. Didn't you miss it?"
"Oh, I've never seen a family like yours. The girl got married and didn't even know about the groom. Now you're asking me for someone, trying to extort money from the Wei family?"
"Although I am the steward of the Wei family, I don't let my private affairs interfere with the main business of the master's family. This matter needs to be cleared up."
At this moment, Chen Mingyi vaguely guessed that he had been tricked, but his face remained calm and composed, "The person who wrote the marriage certificate that day, I saw Mr. Wei's seal with my own eyes."
Butler Wei took out the wedding certificate and betrothal gift list from that day, "Is this what you are talking about? It is indeed written, so I said you are inexplicable."
The sedan was parked outside Chen's house, and the arguing was a bit loud. There were quite a few people paying attention here, and they all gathered around when they heard the commotion.
The village chief also came and raised his hand towards Butler Wei, "May I ask what happened? I am the chief of Dayao Village. If you have anything, you can tell me."
Butler Wei shook the two pieces of paper and said, "Village chief? You've come just in time. I thought your people here were simple and honest, but I didn't know there were such shameless people. They wrote the marriage certificate and accepted the betrothal gift, but now they don't
admit."
The village chief said, "What on earth is going on?"
Butler Wei told the story that the distant nephew of his wife's mother's family had never married, and they wanted to help. They had agreed with the Chen family that day that the Chen family would bring them to their home.
The marriage certificate was written, the betrothal gift was collected, and even the bride was taken home with great fanfare, but today she even denies the matter.
Wu's eyes widened, "You're talking nonsense, how could this happen? Our Xiuyun obviously gave it to the second master of the Wei family, so what is the Liu family?"
Butler Wei curled his lips and said, "Oh, your girl looks like a fairy? You can tell her to our second master, it's such a fool's errand. No one will believe you if you tell me this."
"Village chief, take a look at this marriage certificate and betrothal gift list for yourself. They signed and fingerprinted it, so it makes sense for us to take it to the Yamen, right?"
The village chief took it and took a look, and found that the marriage between Liu Zhaofei and Chen Xiuyun had indeed been decided, and the betrothal gift was written clearly. Chen Mingyi had signed and fingerprinted it, which was indeed a sign of someone's fortune.
But he also knew that the Chen family really planned to make Chen Xiuyun a concubine for the master of the Wei family, and specifically changed their household registration for this purpose.
It had only been a few days, but he couldn't understand why it had become like this.
"This is indeed clearly written."
When Chen Mingyi heard this, he didn't believe it at all, so he quickly took it and looked at it.
This was so unbelievable that I almost fainted with anger. It really stated a marriage, but it was not with the Wei family, but with a man named Liu Zhaofei.
As for the fact that he saw Mr. Wei's seal, that's not false. As mentioned above, Mr. Wei was kind-hearted and witnessed the marriage of the two, so it's not surprising that he stamped it.
That day, he didn't read the marriage certificate carefully at all. He just saw Master Wei's seal and believed it. Only now did he realize that he had been deceived.
Butler Wei snorted, "If there is no evidence, I really can't say anything to you. Anyway, it's clearly written in black and white. You can't deny it. I have business to do today, so I won't talk to you anymore. You
If you want to make trouble, I will accompany you to the end, and I will accompany you to court."
"I don't believe it anymore. No one can deny what is written in black and white. You and your grandson have all been fingerprinted. It was your grandson who brought me here that day."
Mrs. Wu glared and said, "I don't care, anyway, my granddaughter was given to the Wei family, and the Wei family has to give her money."
Butler Wei sneered, "Oh, after all, you want money, but I have never heard of such a thing. The girl has left the house, why are you still thinking about asking for money? Is this selling a girl or marrying a girl?"
