Chapter 554 What's Wrong with Fighting for Yourself
After Gu Jingzhe finished speaking, he stood quietly aside.
Prefect Yao glanced at Mr. Gu, Xu Dabao and others with his sharp eyes, and the parties involved in this incident all shrank their necks.
"Master Yao... Master Yao, you have to make the decision for me. I am engaged to Gu Xiaoxue. We have already exchanged the engagement letter, and we have agreed to welcome her in half a month..."
Xu Dabao was worried that Prefect Yao would favor Gu Xiaoxue because of the relationship between Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe.
He put so much thought into marrying Gu Xiaoxue home.
Especially with the appearance of Liu Qingsong, he could not tolerate Gu Xiaoxue being taken away by Liu Qingsong.
Prefect Yao didn't even look at Xu Dabao, but instead looked at Gu Xiaoxue and asked, "Are you willing to marry Xu Dabao?"
Gu Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to."
Xu Dabao stared at Gu Xiaoxue fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.
Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Dabao wanted to claim that Liu Qingsong and Gu Xiaoxue were having an affair, but because Prefect Yao was here, he didn't dare to do so. He was so angry that his lips turned white.
Upon hearing this, Yu said, "Master Yao, since Gu Xiaoxue doesn't want to marry my son, then we can cancel the engagement. However, Young Gu Rui must return our five hundred taels of silver."
Xu Dabao shouted "Mom", but Yu glared back at him.
Gu Xiaoxue dared to poison Xu Dabao before she even got married. Now that she becomes Xu Dabao's bedmate, won't she be able to kill all the people in the Xu family at once?
If Gu Xiaoxue valued her life and could still hold her back, it is obvious that she does not want to live now and wants to drag the Xu family to death with her.
She can't afford a daughter-in-law like this.
The marriage can be called off, but the money must be returned.
Even if Prefect Yao were here, paying back debts would be a matter of course.
Old Man Gu refused to give in, and knelt on the ground and cried to Prefect Yao about how the Xu family had smashed and looted the Gu family and forced them to acknowledge the debt of five hundred taels.
Old lady Gu shouted at Xu Zaohua and called her a slut. She was a widow who slept with her eldest grandson and should be compensated by the Xu family. The Gu family suffered because they did not have the support of Xu Dabao and Xu Erbao, the two beastly sons who were killing people.
Prefect Yao had a blank expression on his face.
In rural cases, like a ball of hemp rope with one end tied to the other, it is difficult to judge even for an honest judge.
Moreover, this case was obviously caused by a romantic debt between the two families, and the culprits were the son of the Gu family and the daughter of the Xu family.
Did Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua violate any laws?
That's not the case.
At most, it is morally flawed.
Prefect Yao originally went to the countryside to engage in farming during the harvest season, but he ended up solving a rural case instead.
Finally, due to the interference of Prefect Yao, the marriage between Gu Xiaoxue and Xu Dabao was invalidated, and the 500 taels of silver owed by the second branch of the Gu family to the Xu family was also invalidated.
As for Gu Xiaoxue's plan to poison Xu Dabao and Gu Ruinian, it is not illegal for a girl to do something when she is forced into a corner. What's more, the pesticide she used was not pesticide at all. Tong Huaqiong testified that it was brown sugar water.
So what's wrong with Gu Xiaoxue fighting for herself?
correct!
Although Xu Dabao was not convinced, he knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to confront him.
"I dare to ask Lord Yao to make the decision."
Prefect Yao had just dealt with the farce between the Gu and Xu families when Liu Qingsong walked unsteadily to the middle of the crowd and knelt on the ground.
"What grievance have you suffered?" asked Prefect Yao.
Liu Tielian wanted to beat up his youngest son. What injustice could he have suffered?
Yi, who rushed over, looked at her youngest son, then at Gu Xiaoxue, and sighed.
"I want to marry Gu Xiaoxue. Please make the decision for me, sir." Liu Qingsong said.
Gu Xiaoxue and Xu Dabao broke off their engagement due to the intervention of Prefect Yao, but given Xu Dabao's temper, he would probably cause trouble for Gu Xiaoxue.
Gu Xiaoxue is alone in the village with no one to rely on. Given that Grandpa Gu, Gu Youtian and others gave Gu Xiaoxue to the Xu family to pay off their debts, it is clear that Gu Xiaoxue's life will be difficult in the future.
Jia raised her head and became anxious.
She wanted to object.
She doesn't think highly of the Liu family at all.
Since Xiaoxue and Xu Dabao's marriage has been cancelled, her Xiaoxue can be hired into a wealthy family in the city.
But since Magistrate Yao was here, she didn't dare to speak.
Lord Yao said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Gu Xiaoxue must be willing to do it."
Everyone looked at Gu Xiaoxue.
Tong Huaqiong's eyes fell on Gu Xiaoxue, and she also wanted to know her choice.
Judging from Gu Xiaoxue's future situation, her choice of Liu Qingsong was a good choice.
Liu Qingsong is handsome and capable, and the key is that he is willing to risk his life for Gu Xiaoxue.
Liu Tielian is the village chief, and even Xu Dabao will not dare to provoke Gu Xiaoxue in the future.
Many young wives in the village eagerly hoped that Gu Xiaoxue would agree to Liu Qingsong. This was a rural love that happened right under their noses. Liu Qingsong was even braver than Gu Dashu. Gu Dashu had endured a beating from the Liu family in order to marry Liu Yue'e. Liu Qingsong was willing to sacrifice his life for Gu Xiaoxue.
Gu Xiaoxue said calmly: "I don't want to."
The crowd fell silent, and soon sighs were heard.
"I do not want to."
Gu Xiaoxue stood in the crowd with a determined look in her eyes.
After being induced to vomit, Liu Qingsong was like a young poplar ravaged by a strong wind.
"Why doesn't Xiaoxue want to?"
"Qingsong is so nice, capable and handsome. He loves Xiaoxue and is willing to risk his life for her. He will love his wife so much when they get married."
"Xiaoxue doesn't want to marry Xu Dabao and I thought she was smart, but it seems she's not that smart. If she was really smart, would she reject Qingsong?"
Everyone sighed, shook their heads and walked out of the meeting room.
Liu Qingsong was distraught and wanted to ask Gu Xiaoxue why she was unwilling, but was taken away by Yi.
Yi didn't want to arrange a marriage for the second branch of the Gu family, but Gu Xiaoxue rejected her son in public, and she felt that Gu Xiaoxue was ungrateful.
There was something wrong with her son that he was rejected in public.
Just wait and see, she will find a good marriage for her son.
She looks and has a better personality than Gu Xiaoxue, and she doesn't have the Yue family that holds her back.
"Sir Yao, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Come to my house for lunch." Tong Huaqiong said to Prefect Yao.
Prefect Yao had exactly the same idea and nodded with a smile.
Tong Huaqiong turned around and saw Gu Xiaoxue standing alone in the meeting room. She waved at her and said, "Xiaoxue, come to my house and help me cook."
Gu Xiaoxue stood there in a daze, and was pulled by Tong Pandi to follow Tong Huaqiong.
After finishing his meal, Governor Yao had to go to the next village, so he did not stay for long.
"Aunt Tong, I still owe Miss Lian money." Prefect Yao said after some hesitation.
Tong Huaqiong thought to herself, then I'll pay it back for you.
We are all adults, why are you playing such innocent tricks? It’s just that he has a crush on Lian Hengruo.
Tong Huaqiong thought of Aunt Tang's request for her to be a matchmaker for Lian Hengruo, so she asked Prefect Yao directly, "Master Yao, has your family arranged a marriage for you?"
The dark-faced man in front of him suddenly blushed.
Prefect Yao said unnaturally, "No marriage has been decided yet. Why did Aunt Tong suddenly bring up the subject of marriage?"
Tong Huaqiong wanted to roll her eyes.
Keep pretending. Tong Huaqiong was certain that Governor Yao was 100% interested in Lian Hengruo.
Tong Huaqiong said directly: "What do you think of Miss Lian Er? If you are interested, I can help you to test Miss Lian Er's attitude. Forget it, you have already reached Pingchuan's territory, why don't you go directly to the pearl stall to pay back the money and test the waters at the same time, it's not good for you to owe the money all the time."
Magistrate Yao ran away with a red face.
