Chapter 106: He Li
Chapter 106 Heli
After reading the note in her hand, Ning Yue's expression didn't change at all, making Dongmei almost think it was just a piece of waste paper. Ning Yue is like this, the more chaotic the scene is, the more she can keep calm. This is a very important quality given to her by Sikong Shuo.
Ning Yue stood up, walked slowly to the side of her grandmother, looked deeply at the eldest brother-in-law who looked like a dog, and gently pulled the corners of her lips and said: "The ability to talk nonsense is not small. My eldest sister didn't do anything with the eldest son. You have to force the eldest son to slander my eldest sister! My eldest sister was originally married to the son of a noble family, but you stole the love and lied about being from a scholarly family. Forgive us, the Ma family, for not accompanying this kind of marriage deception technique!"
Chen Bo scolded: "Don't cheat marriages one by one! Let me tell you, your eldest sister and I are registered in the government office! We have a marriage certificate! You don't want to cheat!"
"Really?" Ning Yue raised her chin in disbelief and asked calmly, "Who knows if your marriage certificate is real?"
"You... you, you, you..." Chen Bo's face turned pale from being overwhelmed, "You wait for me!" He turned around and went back to the study to fetch the marriage certificate.
The marriage letter is divided into two parts, the official letter and the other paper. The official script is the intermarriage letter from the man's family requesting the marriage contract and the marriage letter from the woman's family agreeing to the marriage contract. These are mostly high-sounding polite words. The farewell book is the main body of the marriage letter, which records the real names and birth dates of both husband and wife. Once the marriage letter is concluded, it has legal effect. 【Note①】
But the marriage certificate did not state whether the man was a cotton dealer or a son of a family. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the marriage certificate is invalid based on a single verbal deception. Is the official seal just a display?
The old lady obviously understood this truth, and her face became very ugly.
Chen Bo's heart is about to explode with joy, fight with him? There are no doors!
Ma Ningxin didn't know where the strength came from, she rushed over and grabbed his skirt, and said bitterly: "I, Ma Ningxin, am really blind to fall for the tricks of you bastard! I will die with you today! Don't even think about falling off!"
"Crazy!" Chen Bo pushed her away in disgust, and wanted to kick her on the ground as usual, but he glanced away, suppressed his anger, and said, "You little whore! I'm the one who is blind! I I will divorce you now! Go back to your horse's house!"
Speaking so unkindly is because he really didn't take the Ma family seriously. Ning Yue felt it was strange, even if Chen Bo really climbed into the high branch of Jia's family, then Jia's family is only a middle-class family, and only Mrs. Guo came out... How dare Chen Bo offend Ma's family like this?
Ning Yue couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it, helped her elder sister to sit on a chair, turned her head to look at Chen Bo, and said with a faint smile: "Do you really think that with a marriage certificate, you can get rid of the charge of deception?"
Chen Bo frowned. For some reason, although the third sister was smiling, it made his hair stand on end. He suppressed his uneasiness, and sneered disdainfully: "My lord is talking, and it's not a little girl's turn to intervene!"
Ning Yue's smile widened a bit, and her clear eyes reflected Chen Bo's ferocity distorted by anger: "This marriage certificate is invalid. Because...you are not Chen Bo at all!"
Chen Bo took a few steps back in shock: "You...you...what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ning Yue tightened the note in her hand, she didn't believe it at first, but seeing Chen Bo panicked now, it was clear that something happened. Ning Yue sneered and said: "Your name is Chen Hai, you are the third son of the Chen family, one year younger than Chen Bo. Ten years ago, Chen Bo was admitted as a scholar, but one night he accidentally fell into the lake and drowned. Since then, you have survived as your second elder brother. You have no other relatives in Ding County except the Chen family, as long as she says you are Chen Bo, outsiders will not suspect you."
Chen Bo, no, it should be Chen Hai, broke out in a cold sweat: "Lie! You lie! I...why would I take the place of my second brother?"
"Of course it's for tax avoidance!" If she hadn't fought so many lawsuits with Sikong Shuo in her previous life, she wouldn't have known the laws of Xiliang so well. Light, you can replace Chen Bo's identity, not only can you avoid many exorbitant taxes, but you can also reasonably avoid taxes on the property under your name."
Chen Hai's complexion was no longer pale enough to describe it.
"In the beginning, you didn't think that this identity would let you fly to the branch to become a phoenix, did you? It wasn't until you met my eldest sister and ate the fat of our Ma family that you realized that you can also marry the daughter of a family! Later, your heart gradually grew, and our Ma family can no longer satisfy your greed, and you climbed into the Jia family again!"
When Ning Yue spoke up to this point, the room became completely silent. Even the old lady and Ma Ningxin, who were supposed to run away, looked at Ning Yue in astonishment. Ning Yue glanced at Chen Hai, who was pretending to be calm, and said calmly. : "Do you want to see an official? I believe that the Jia family will be very interested in this case."
Chen Hai's legs went limp all of a sudden, he held on to the pillar, trembling, not daring to look into Ning Yue's eyes, and said, "Yes...Did my aunt tell you?"
Fifth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, come and have a look, this is the good nephew you desperately protected, if something happens, you will only be suspicious!
Ning Yue didn't bother to explain, so she said: "You don't care how I know, just say that you disagree with the judge! If you agree, we will fight the two lawsuits together. If you don't agree, it's just like signing the letter of reconciliation!"
Heli? Doesn't that mean you can't get the dowry?
Seeing the calculation flashing in his eyes, Ning Yue smiled coldly and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you really want to go to court, it will be over for you and the girl from the Jia family. Without the protection of the Jia family, our Ma family will trample you to death." You, isn't it as easy as trampling an ant to death?"
This is the truth, no matter how poor the Ma family is, there is still a daughter of the Duke’s Mansion, a fourth-rank general, a sixth-rank Yuanwailang, and a prince concubine and a county princess are about to fly out. You can crush Chen Hai to death!
…
Chen Hai finally signed He Lishu, in the name of Chen Bo. The dowry was returned to Ma Ningxin, not only that, but also an extra 10,000 taels of alimony.
Chen Hai vomited blood from the heartache!
As a condition for letting Ma Ningxin go, Chen Hai asked the Ma family to keep his identity a secret.
Out of the disgusting courtyard, Dongmei asked suspiciously: "Why did you agree to keep it a secret for him? Wouldn't this...do harm to the girl of the Jia family?"
Ning Yue smiled lightly: "Have you heard the story of the water ghost?"
Dongmei shook her head.
"The water ghost has been trapped in the icy lake for many years, and he must drag down a living person to be a substitute to be freed, and that substitute will become the next water ghost until the next innocent substitute is found..." Ning Yue smiled coldly, her voice clear and beautiful. His face was as white as a ghost under the sunlight.
