Chapter 822 Last Wish
Zhu Qingtong turned pale and screamed, "You lied. You were caught by the guards before you even got close to the house where I live. You..."
Sun Guang interrupted her, with a confused look on his face, "Ms. Zhu, I know you don't like me, but I can't tell lies. If you see it, you'll see it. Do you want me to say I didn't even know I saw it? See? I don’t dare to lie about this deception of the magistrate.”
He also deliberately looked timid and afraid to lie. Zhu Qingtong was so angry that she fell back and almost fainted.
Sun Guang was in a good mood, and he kindly explained to Zhu Qingtong, "When the guards caught me, it was after I spied on you. Tell me, did I do it not long after you finished bathing?" Caught?”
Zhu Qingtong's face was as white as a ghost, and her eyes were wider than the Tongling on the Yamen Gate.
Sun Guang sighed, "I know, I'm despicable, I'm Xiliu, you don't like me, but I like you, so much that I can't help but climb the wall just to take a look at you."
"In order to see you, I am willing to be beaten by the prefect."
He said it with a look of deep love and no regrets. Zhu Qingtong was so angry that her face turned red, blue and white, but she couldn't refute a word.
Everyone has said that if they are willing to take the trouble, just wait for the matchmaker to come to your door.
Nowadays, everyone in Jiangning City knows that she has been spotted by Sun Guang. Unless she marries him or leaves Jiangning City, she has no third way to go.
If she doesn't marry Sun Guang and stays in Jiangning City, she will be a joke.
Zhu Qingtong looked at Liao Jingtang with tears in her eyes, "Second cousin, I don't want to marry him, please save me."
Liao Jingtang was in a dilemma.
With a character like Sun Guang's, he is indeed not a good person, nor is he worthy of Zhu Qingtong. Although he doesn't like Zhu Qingtong and even hates her, she is his cousin after all and is related to him. Now, something like this happened to her , he couldn't stand idly by and watch her being plotted against.
Zhu Qingtong was looked down upon, but she didn't want to marry Sun Guang, so she had to leave Jiangning City. But judging from her intentions, she didn't seem to want to leave Jiangning City.
Liao Jingtang took a deep look at her and then stared at Sun Guang. Tang Jingmu slapped her hard and said, "Come here, Sun Guang peeked at the woman in the middle of the night. According to Dasheng regulations, he will be punished for thirty years."
"Ah, Mr. Magistrate, thirty strokes is too much. Can you give me a little less? If you beat the villain to a disability, how will he get a wife? Please forgive me, Mr. Magistrate, and give me a few strokes less." ”
Saying this, he kowtowed and asked for favor.
One look at Sun Guang's posture, he is an old man who is not afraid of the government officials anymore.
Liao Jingtang's face turned black with anger, and he said angrily to the official next to him, "Why, do you want me to execute it myself?"
"As ordered, sir, I will execute it immediately."
The officials were all familiar with Sun Guang. They were both brothers who grew up together in an alley. They all wanted Liao Jingtang to reduce his punishment. Unexpectedly, Liao Jingtang was upright. According to Dasheng's laws and regulations, he didn't follow the rules. few.
Besides, the woman being looked at was the cousin of the prefect, so even if Sun Guang was not beaten to death, there was no need to even think about cutting the trouble.
Sun Guang received thirty blows, and his buttocks were beaten to pieces. When he was carried out, Sun Guang still weakly told Zhu Qingtong, "Mrs. Zhu, just wait at home. I'll hire a matchmaker in three days." Come to the door." Zhu Qingtong collapsed on the ground, her face turned pale.
After Sun Guang left and the official duties were dismissed, Zhu Qingtong looked for help at Liao Jingtang, who was sitting on top and had not left yet.
"Second cousin, please save me. I don't want to marry Sun Guang. You have also seen that he is a big scoundrel. If I marry him, my life will be ruined."
She got up and rushed towards Liao Jingtang with tears in her eyes, wanting to throw herself into his arms.
Liao Jingtang stood up quickly and avoided her attack. His face was gloomy, "Cousin, please respect yourself."
Zhu Qingtong's face was ashamed and ugly. She simply gave up and cried, "Second cousin, I have been hopelessly in love with you since I first saw you. I don't believe you." I didn’t see it. It’s a pity that my grandmother looked down on me and wouldn’t let me marry you. This time, I don’t have a husband. Husband, grandma also regretted it, so... Second cousin, I am here this time. I believe that with his cleverness, he may have guessed the purpose of my coming. Yes, I am here to make up for the regrets of the past. , I want to marry my second cousin, my second cousin, do you have the heart to refuse me?”
"Sorry, I'm already married to my wife, and I like my wife very much." Liao Jingtang was expressionless and indifferent.
Zhu Qingtong cried and shouted, "Grandma's body is dying. This is her last wish for you. How can you bear to make grandma unable to close her eyes?"
Although Mrs. Liao was not at the point of dying, Zhu Qingtong made serious remarks about Mrs. Liao's illness in order to force Liao Jingtang.
Liao Jingtang didn't believe it.
If Mrs. Liao was about to die, her mother would have written to him long ago. How could she hide it and not tell her? This is not a trivial matter.
Chu Yu's letter didn't mention anything, that Zhu Qingtong was lying.
From the very beginning, Liao Jingtang disliked Zhu Qingtong, even hated her. When Zhu Qingtong lived in the Liao family, he was jealous of Liao Fangyi and always found various excuses to bully Liao Fangyi and even took things from Liao Fangyi. Liao Fangyi likes clothes and jewelry.
And every time, Zhu Qingtong didn't have to say anything herself. As long as she looked envious of Liao Fangyi's things, Mrs. Liao or Mrs. Liao would take the initiative to give them to her.
That's what's great about her.
Taking advantage of other people's face-saving mentality to snatch what she wants.
Now, when she wanted Liao Jingtang, she acted aggrieved and pitiful, and wanted Liao Jingtang to pity her.
It's a pity that Liao Jingtang doesn't like her, hates her, and can't think of pity for her.
He just found her annoying, and her crying made him even more annoying. He wanted to ask the officer to throw her out.
Liao Jingtang said, "Grandma is just your grandmother. You are no longer a member of the Zhu family, and even your grandmother cannot be your master. If you want to remarry, you will only need the consent of your husband's family. And I, I'm sorry, In this life, I feel that I have not enough time to love Jing'er, mother and son, and I really don't have the extra energy to love other women."
"You've seen what kind of person Sun Guang is. If you want to get rid of him, you'd better leave Jiangning City as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I come forward, I can't save you. You should know that honor is important to a woman. How important.”
