Chapter 2091 Severing ties
"Nonsense!"
Father Yan raised his hand and slapped Yan Que'an in the face, his face flushed, obviously very angry: "Rebellious son, what is the family background of the Feng family? What is the family background of that widow Wan Shufang? Which is more important? How can you be so confused?"
"Give me the note, and from now on, just pretend that this incident never happened and marry Feng Yaotiao back to me."
Hearing this, Yan Que'an's eyes flickered and his cheeks felt burning with pain. He suddenly sneered, clenched the note, and looked up at his father with a cold and piercing look without a trace of emotion.
"Father, if you don't help me save my sister, I will leave the Yan family, and from now on, we will sever our father-son relationship."
"Don't even think about locking me up forever. If you do, I will commit suicide. I can always die. I am the only son of the Yan family that you have nurtured for so many years, so father, the family must come forward to save my sister."
It is impossible for the Yan family to produce another Yan Que'an. Although he is a playboy, he was carefully cultivated by the Yan family and is very talented in business.
He is the best candidate to be the next head of the family.
"you!"
His attitude completely infuriated Yan's father, and he raised his hand to hit him again, but Yan Que'an did not dodge at all, and even stiffened his neck to let him hit him.
Seeing that Yan Que'an had really made up his mind, Yan's father angrily withdrew his hand: "Well, you are really brave, even threatening your own father!"
"Father, if you don't help me, I will go to the government office and beat the drum to appeal for justice." After saying this, Yan Que'an turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan's father.
He looked at Yan Que'an with a look of disappointment, but finally agreed: "Don't go. I promise you, I will let the family come forward."
"Okay, I want to see the family take action tomorrow."
"Hmph, you rebellious son." Yan's father snorted coldly. Looking at Yan Que'an's departing back, he also felt resentful towards Wan Shufang in his heart.
But for the sake of his only son, he had no choice but to use his connections to put pressure on the government to make Wan Shufang's life better.
But he was unable to take Wan Shufang out directly. Just when Wan Shufang was about to be brought to the court for interrogation, Chen Changli suddenly arrived with the imperial envoy.
He looked at Wan Shufang, who had obviously lost weight, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he took out his token directly. The county magistrate had already received the news and knew that the Duke would come, so he hurriedly apologized with a smile.
"Your Excellency the Duke, Your Excellency the Censor, you are here so soon. Come on, show the two of you a seat!"
"No need. If I don't come, how are you going to wrongly convict this case?" Chen Changli said in a cold tone, and after he finished speaking, he went straight to Wan Shufang.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to stop him and quietly stepped aside.
Seeing that he was standing on Wan Shufang's side, the county magistrate almost fell down, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "My Lord, you misunderstood. How could we have wrongly convicted him?"
"Whether it's unjust or not, the censor will tell you the result."
After saying this, Chen Changli winked at the inspector, who quickly understood and checked the seized silver in court.
Chen Changli had received Wan Shufang's letter a long time ago and was extremely worried. He invited the inspector to come overnight to overturn her case.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yaotiao, who was watching on the side, became nervous and her palms were sweating.
She gritted her teeth and cursed Wan Shufang inwardly for being a vixen who had actually caused the Duke to take action for her.
"Mr. County Magistrate, I have checked all this silver and I am absolutely sure that it is official silver. Moreover, the secret marks on the official silver match the Feng family's account books." He chuckled and his eyes were full of sarcasm: "This is just a self-directed and self-acted show."
Hearing this, the county magistrate was shocked, and Feng Yaotiao saw that the truth was revealed, her expression changed, and she wanted to leave in a panic, but Yan Que'an saw her with sharp eyes and tried to stop her.
"Feng Yaotiao, why are you running?" He deliberately raised his voice. Everyone in the court looked over. The county magistrate was furious when he thought that he had been deceived by the Feng family.
But he did not dare to blame the Feng family easily. In his eyes, the Feng family and Wan Shufang were different.
As if he could see through his thoughts, Chen Changli sneered, "If you don't want to lose your position, then do a thorough investigation."
When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Feng Yaotiao didn't care too much and reached out to push Yan Que'an: "Yan Que'an, get out of the way. I want to go home. This matter has nothing to do with me."
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? This is just a self-directed and self-acted act by your Feng family to frame others!" Yan Que'an was relentless and refused to give way. During the pushing and shoving, he was accidentally pushed down by Feng Yaotiao.
His head hit the table and bright red blood flowed down.
"Yan Que is alright!" Wan Shufang's eyes narrowed, and she walked over quickly to check his wound.
Feng Yaotiao had been held down by Chen Changli's men and was sent to jail without a word.
Seeing Wan Shufang caring about him, Yan Que'an was delighted: "Sister, my forehead hurts so much and it bleeds a lot. I won't become a fool, will I?"
Yan Que'an acted pitifully, but the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright. Realizing something, Chen Changli's eyes darkened, and there was an extra hint of inquiry when he looked at him.
"It's just a minor skin injury. Master Yan is not stupid." After saying that, she gave Yan Que'an a bottle of medicine, ignored him, and got up and went back to Chen Changli: "Chen Changli, you came here so soon, have you resolved the matter in Yongzhou?"
"Well, it's okay now, Shufang, it's all my fault. I made you suffer." He stretched out his hand and, regardless of the other people around him, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Yan Que'an looked at this scene and widened his eyes.
After the case was solved, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also returned to the inn. Along the way, Yan Que'an followed them all the time, and Chen Changli never let go of Wan Shufang's hand, and even kissed her forehead.
Wan Shufang naturally noticed such close contact and attitude of declaring sovereignty, but she said nothing and let Chen Changli do it.
Yan Que'an seemed to have suffered a blow, and was in a state of disarray, but he still did not give up and followed them all the way to the inn. When he arrived at the door of the inn, the two people in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Mr. Yan, my husband and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to catch up. You don't have to follow me. I really should thank you for what happened today."
After hearing Wan Shufang's words, Yan Que'an became more and more lonely and said nothing. Chen Changli also looked at him coldly, and took Wan Shufang's hand back to the house.
"She actually has a husband. Has she been lying to me all this time?" Yan Que'an curled his lips. As a man, he actually wanted to cry.
He turned his head, trying to hold back his tears, but he saw Feng Yaotiao and was immediately surprised: "Feng Yaotiao? It was clearly you who did it, why did they let you out?"
"Oh, that was done by my servants on their own initiative. It has nothing to do with me." Feng Yaotiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him proudly: "Yan Que'an, you and I will be married soon. You should prepare well. Tomorrow, we will go to try on wedding dresses together."
Hearing this, Yan Que An looked at her angrily with disbelief in his eyes: "You are dreaming!"
"Feng Yaotiao, don't think that those things can be written off just by finding a scapegoat. I will never marry someone as vicious as you."
