When night fell, the matter of submitting the complaint was finally confirmed, and the housekeeper also invited an official from Jiangzhou Prefecture who was close to the Cheng family to tell more detailed facts.

"I received the complaint and I've read it. It's absolutely true. The name is Cheng Jiaoniang. Is she your daughter?" he asked.

Damn it, isn't it?

"The name given by the Zhou family." Mrs. Cheng murmured.

Jiao Jiao'er, at first I gave this name to a fool with a smile, but now it seems that she is not the Jiao Jiao'er of the Zhou family. She is even more ruthless than the Zhou family who tormented their family back then. The Zhou family must be laughing behind their backs now.

How dare you submit a complaint to the government! How dare you ask the government to clarify the dowry!

Please let the government make a clear decision. This kind of talk is actually not unfamiliar to the Cheng family. In the past few years, they have said it and heard it more than once during their interactions with the Zhou family. Mr. Cheng said it, and Mr. Zhou also said it, but

It's just talk, no one can really cause trouble in Shangguan Mansion.

Getting into trouble with the government because of your family property is an unwelcome thing, both in terms of face and reputation.

The arrogant Zhou family always just shouts, but this fool didn't expect that he would go straight to stab the government without even shouting!

How dare she make trouble! This bastard!

Mr. Cheng slapped Pingji with one palm.

"She is a fool and dares to hand it over, and the Jiangzhou government is also a fool and dares to accept it?" he shouted, "Shouldn't this disobedience of a junior who dares to sue an elder deserve to be beaten with a killing stick?"

The clerk shook his head and looked confused.

"It stands to reason that it really shouldn't be the case, but when the other side picked up the call, I don't know what he was thinking," he said.

Mr. Cheng snorted.

"What do you think? It's more than just accepting the complaint." He said, he knew very well about the activities of these officials.

Accepting people's money to eliminate disasters is a good reputation.

But that also depends on what kind of money can be collected and what kind of disaster can be eliminated.

"Does the government just watch and do nothing? I'll go find him and ask him for advice!" He stood up and said.

"The prefect has been in poor health recently and has been recuperating behind closed doors, so many things are handled by his subordinates." The official said, leaning closer and lowering his voice, "He doesn't know about this at all, Mr. Cheng, it's getting late at this time.

Why don't you go there tomorrow morning? If you are kept in the dark for a while, you will be even more angry."

The angrier the prefect becomes, the more unlucky the judge will be.

Mr. Cheng sat back down again, exhaled and nodded, while gesturing to the butler beside him.

The butler hurriedly pushed over a gift list.

"Take some tea, thank you for your hard work," he said.

The clerk was not polite and accepted the offer after making a few false suggestions. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Although he guessed that the tea money given would be quite large, he was still secretly happy when he saw the amount.

The Cheng family is really rich...

"Don't worry, sir. It's just the younger generation who are fooling around. Some people are confused and follow suit. Since it's just fooling around, it's not a big deal." He smiled and stood up to leave.

Mr. Cheng nodded and asked the butler to send the person out.

"Master and Madam, let's have something to eat."

The servants came in and advised him carefully.

The food has been placed on the dining table over there for quite some time.

Mr. Cheng waved his hand, Mrs. Cheng was not in the mood to eat, and stopped reciting either Buddhist or Taoist scriptures.

"You go to Wang's house tomorrow and hurry up and get the marriage certificate. When the date comes, get married as soon as possible. If you love, you will harm whoever you love." Mr. Cheng said angrily.

Mrs. Cheng nodded and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"What does it mean to harm anyone you love? Why should I harm my parents' family?" She said angrily.

"Okay, let's go and cause harm to other people's houses. The second room is waiting for us." Mr. Cheng said unceremoniously.

Mrs. Cheng suddenly cried angrily.

"What am I trying to do? I'm not a human being inside and out," she cried.

Seeing Mrs. Cheng crying, Mr. Cheng was also a little depressed. He didn't want to vent his anger on Mrs. Cheng, but the unknown fire in his heart was really ignited.

"I'm sick, and I'm running around in and out. I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I can't sleep day and night. But in exchange for your words, my mother-in-law complained about me, my brothers and sisters hated me, and I tolerated it. It's just you, how can you

You can do this to me too!"

The more Mrs. Cheng talked, the more she felt sad and discouraged, and she fell on the table and cried bitterly.

How come this life is like this? What evil has she done!

Mr. Cheng also knew that he had lost his temper, but a man could never admit his mistake to a woman.

"I didn't say anything to you." He said in a low voice, "Why are you crying?"

"You haven't said anything yet. What you say in your heart is more hurtful than what you say with your mouth." Mrs. Cheng cried.

Look, you really can't pay attention to it, otherwise the more you talk, the more confused you become.

"Let's get the troublemaker back first and then we can talk about anything else." Mr. Cheng quickly changed the subject and took the opportunity to go out and call the housekeeper.

When the housekeeper came back from seeing guests off, he heard a shout and came running over.

"You were just preoccupied with the lawsuit and forgot to pick her up, right? Go pick her up as soon as it gets dark," Mr. Cheng said.

The butler looked embarrassed.

"Master, I didn't forget at that time. I picked it up, but I couldn't pick it up," he said.

"You can't pick up so many of you? Aren't the Zhou family members not going to the prison anymore? A fool and a maid, even if you can shoot arrows, you can't beat four hands with two fists, how can you be such a waste?" Cheng Da

The old man said angrily.

I didn't think that my family members were so stupid. They were among the best in Jiangzhou Prefecture in business and housekeeping. Why did they seem to have become such wastes overnight?

"No sir, although those people are gone, the people from Nancheng are blocking the way and they can't get in at all," the steward said.

People from the south?

"You have rebelled against them! I haven't settled the accounts with them for the money they deceived and defrauded my daughter, but they dared to hold my daughter hostage!" Mr. Cheng was shocked and angry.

What's wrong with each other? Are they all crazy?

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!" He shouted loudly and walked out. "I don't believe it anymore. They dare to stop me."

The housekeeper stopped him first.

"Master, I can't force you to come here," he said. "The people in Nancheng insisted that the lady didn't want to leave and that she asked them to do this. At other times, they just accused them of lying and took her away by force. But

Now that lady has sued us, and if we start making trouble now, I'm afraid it won't be clear when the time comes. After all, people talk a lot..."

"What's so unclear! I didn't do anything wrong, so why am I afraid of her?" Mr. Cheng said with a glare, but stopped in his steps.

"Sir, you are naturally not afraid of others' criticism of your character, but our family has already had several troubles in this short period of time. People in this world are stupid and prefer to fan the wind and make fire. Three people become a tiger..." the housekeeper said hurriedly.

Mr. Cheng looked at him.

"Why are you so smart at this time?" He said, flicking his sleeves, "You try to persuade me to do all the tricks, but why are you so dumb when facing people from the Zhou family?"

The housekeeper smiled sarcastically.

Can it be the same? There are bows, arrows and sticks facing you. When you open your mouth, you will most likely be injured and bleeding. How can you feel relaxed at this moment?

"Master, you are a reasonable person. Those people in the Zhou family and that little lady are all unreasonable..." He said with an apologetic smile and followed him, "Master, don't worry, if she wants to make trouble, we won't follow her.

She is making trouble. She is a child and is not sensible. We can’t be ignorant and just wait and see what she can do. Should we leave from outside when we get married?”

Get married!

Mr. Cheng suddenly stopped, and his sinking heart suddenly rose again.

No! If something like this happens, the second room will probably take the opportunity to take action!

"It's not good for me to go."

At night, the corner door of Miles' house opened, and two maids came out first with lamps, casting a bright light, followed by the sound of voices behind them.

"What's wrong!" Mrs. Cheng Er said, pushing Master Cheng Er out with her hand, "You are his father, it is best for you to go see her."

A group of people stepped out, with two servant girls in front and behind holding lanterns, and headed south.

The corner on the south side was brightly lit and noisy with people.

"That's where the house is to be built." Mrs. Cheng Er pointed to Mr. Cheng Er and said, "Working hard day and night, I wish I could grab all the money as soon as possible."

Mr. Cheng Er was not in the mood to pay attention to this, he lowered his head and was depressed.

"I won't talk to her when I go," he said, "I have nothing to say to her."

"You don't need to say anything, you will show your attitude when you go." Mrs. Cheng Er smiled happily, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, leaned over and whispered, "I knew Erlang was the best to me."

Although it was night, this immoral behavior still frightened Mr. Cheng and threw away Mrs. Cheng's arm.

Mrs. Cheng Er chuckled and followed a few steps behind.

The sound of footsteps walking in the messy and narrow alley was mixed with the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs all around.
