Shengjing Noble

Chapter 208: Marriage Fraud

"Don't worry, Madam. Since I have chosen Shengming, I will naturally share the good and the bad with him."

"She is such a rare and wonderful girl. You must not let her down, Third Brother. I think we should get married right away to avoid any more trouble."

Lu Wanjun counted on her fingers, then slapped her thigh and said happily: "The day after tomorrow is a good day, you can get married right away!"

"The day after tomorrow?" Fang Qingqing almost couldn't hold it in. She swallowed her saliva and pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly, "Isn't this too hasty? At least three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts are needed..."

When Lu Wanjun heard this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her nonexistent tears, crying, "Oh, Qingqing, I, as your mother-in-law, don't mean to be harsh on you, but you see the current situation at home, we really can't afford the money to arrange the wedding, how about you make do with it for now, and when we make a comeback, I will definitely double the compensation for you, isn't that okay?"

"But I can't explain to my family..." Fang Qingqing looked embarrassed.

When Su Shengming saw this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but facing his mother's difficulties, he could not be unfilial.

So he held Fang Qingqing's hand, his eyes full of sincerity: "Qingqing, I actually have some savings. Although it's not much, it's all I have. If you want, I can give it all to you. I'm willing to write an IOU for the rest, as long as you agree to marry me first."

"This is so bad!" Fang Qingqing squeezed out four words from between her teeth and said with a forced smile, "I'd better go back and discuss it with my mother."

"Okay, I'll take you back. Don't worry, I'm willing to respect any decision you make. After all, I can't give you a better life with my current conditions. Even...even if you don't want to marry me, I won't blame you."

Su Shengming's eyes were full of loss. He only hated himself for not becoming independent earlier and becoming a supporter of his family and loved ones.

So much so that when he encountered difficulties, he could not do anything and was like a waste.

Lu Wanjun took out the agate bracelet she had prepared in advance from her arms, grabbed Fang Qingqing's hand, and forced it on her.

"My dear, please don't despise me. Although this agate bracelet is a defective product and worthless, it is a token of love that my father gave to my mother before he started his own business. My mother gave it to me before she died."

"Now, I'm handing it over to you. It's a proof that I recognize you as the daughter-in-law of our Lu family. You must keep it well and pass it on to your and Shengming's next generation."

Fang Qingqing nodded with a fake smile: "Thank you very much, Madam..."

After saying that, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and walked out without looking back. His steps were so fast that Su Shengming could hardly catch up with him.

Seeing her running for her life, Lu Wanjun just found it ridiculous.

What a little vixen. She was able to stay calm and not reveal her true colors in such a situation. She dumped Su Shengming on the spot. She really has some skills.

Su Lanyin pushed Su Shengyan out of the house.

"Mother, what's going on?"

Lu Wanjun sat back in her chair and said disdainfully, "What else can I do? I can tell at a glance that she is not a good person. I guess she is thinking about how to dump your third brother right now."

Before Su Lanyin could speak, Su Shengyan said, "If that girl really chooses to separate, I can understand. After all, everyone has the right to pursue a better life. But I can only say that her sincerity towards Shengming is just average."

Lu Wanjun smiled and shook her head: "You are still too naive. Since Yinyin took me to the Fang family last time, I sent people to investigate the mother and daughter. Guess what?"

"how?"

"This mother and daughter are habitual offenders of marriage fraud. Fang Qingqing had arranged marriages with several gentlemen before and received a lot of betrothal gifts from them. But for some reason, something went wrong with them in the end and the marriages never took place."

"Her mother is even stranger. After being redeemed from a brothel, she became a concubine after only a few days, but she managed to take over the position by angering the wife to death. Not long after, the master also died. Not only did she take over all the family property, she also drove out the children born to the original wife."

"The most terrifying thing is that Fang Tao has had four or five husbands, all of whom were old men, and they all died not long after getting married."

"Captain Liang has been investigating her, but unfortunately he had no idea where to start, and in the end nothing came of it. Now I didn't expect that they would target Sheng Ming. It doesn't matter if they are after money, but what I fear most is that they will kill me!"

Su Shengyan looked incredulous: "I didn't expect there were so many unknown things!"

Su Lanyin sat at the table, propping up her chin, and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid this mother and daughter are not so lucky to meet us this time."

"Yinyin, do you think she will let the third brother go so easily?" Lu Wanjun asked.

"No." Su Lanyin said firmly.

"Why? Since they are after money, and our Lu family is already broke, why doesn't she stop in time and change her target?" Su Shengyan was puzzled.

“Because they are greedy.”

"greedy?"

Su Lanyin nodded, stood up and analyzed: "Yes, although my third brother is not a smart man, he is also a veteran in the love field who has seen countless women. How could he be easily attracted to a woman?"

"I think they must have spent a lot of effort on my third brother. Do you think they are willing to just give up like that? What's more, they may not believe what their mother said."

Lu Wanjun looked nervous: "What if they refuse to believe it?"

"Then make the play more realistic."

"what?"

"Don't worry, mother. I have already made arrangements. In a few days, my second brother will be leaving for Qiu County. It's time for us to pack our bags. Let Nanny Li and the others get busy."

"it is good!"

……

Su Shengming sent Fang Qingqing to the gate of Fang Mansion.

Then he said with a guilty look on his face: "Qingqing, you still have to discuss our affairs with your family, but I believe that as long as you are willing to marry me, nothing else will be a problem."

Fang Qingqing suppressed the anger in her heart, sneered, and said impatiently: "Okay, I get it, you go back first."

After saying that, he pulled his hand away, turned around and walked quickly into the house without even looking back.

Su Shengming frowned, feeling that she had become somewhat strange and difficult to understand.

But on second thought, she must have felt a little embarrassed after hearing what her mother said.

Can't blame her.

However, Su Shengming believed in Fang Qingqing's character, and he believed that she would still be willing to marry him after she calmed down.

After all, when they first met, he was just a handyman, and she didn't dislike him, right?

If Fang Qingqing really despised the poor and loved the rich, how could she be interested in a waiter like him in a restaurant?

Thinking of this, he felt relieved and got on the carriage back to the Lu family.

Inside Fang Mansion.

Fang Qingqing told Fang Tao the whole story. She was so angry that her face turned green. She slapped the table so hard that her palms went numb.

"I'm so angry! This idiot actually wants me to marry him. He doesn't even look at his current status. He's a pauper, so how can he be worthy of me?"
