"What?"
Zhao Ying's face instantly fell, and everyone else looked stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Are the Wu Family people crazy?
This was clearly saying the most resolute words in the most submissive tone!
For their ridiculous pride, they would actually offend Zhao Ying?
Didn't they know who Zhao Ying's father was?
Du Heng had originally planned to give up, but hearing the Wu Family's words, he suddenly had doubts.
How could he not know what kind of people the Wu Family were?
They wouldn't do anything without profit!
Under normal circumstances, the Wu Family would definitely not dare to offend Zhao Ying!
Something is wrong!
There must be something wrong!
Shen Jing must have something that the Wu Family desires!
Only then would the Wu Family risk offending Zhao Ying, insisting on taking Shen Jing to their home!
Since that's the case, the Du Family definitely couldn't let go either!
Thinking of this, Du Heng immediately stepped forward, "The Wu Family cannot take this Shen Jing! He can only be a member of my Du Family!"
"The Du Family?"
The Wu Family people frowned, then chuckled and said, "I say, Young Master Du, why are you snatching such a person? Don't get involved in this matter. Go do what you need to do! We will definitely teach this kid a good lesson for you later!"
"No need for you to bother!"
Du Heng said with a fake smile, "This is a matter between my Du Family and Shen Jing, we will resolve it ourselves!"
"That won't do!"
The Wu Family people immediately became firm, "I must take Shen Jing back today and hand him over to my second uncle for disposal!"
Du Heng stiffened his neck, "If you want to take him back, you'll have to get past me first!"
Seeing the two families at loggerheads, Zhao Ying's expression grew even uglier.
Was his meaning not clear enough?
These two bastards actually dared to openly defy him?
After forcefully suppressing the urge to lash out, Zhao Ying looked at the two with a half-smile, "Gentlemen, give me some face. We are all prominent people in Luochuan Prefecture, we see each other often, don't let this person ruin our harmony!"
Give me some face!
Zhao Ying had already made it very clear!
If these two families still didn't know better, then they were clearly going against him.
"Right!"
Song Lianxin also stepped forward, "What's there to argue about in this matter? Why don't we all take this opportunity to get to know each other better, turn hostility into friendship, and achieve harmony and prosperity!"
Seeing the two's unyielding attitude, Du Heng gradually began to waver.
A Huaizhou Prefect, and a Tribute Merchant.
They still put a lot of pressure on him.
Since ancient times, commoners do not contend with officials.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to offend these two people.
If this matter put the Du Family in danger, it would be a huge loss.
Hmm, let's see how it goes!
If it really comes down to it, he still has to back down!
"I say, Song Lianxin, aren't you supposed to be looking out for my best interests?"
Shen Jing looked at Song Lianxin mockingly, "Even a blind man can see that I don't want to marry into the Wang Family! Why are you pushing me towards the Wang Family now? Whose side are you really on? Or are you just tired of pretending to be a good person and revealing your true nature?"
"Shen Jing, you've disappointed me greatly!"
Song Lianxin glanced at Shen Jing, saying with deep regret, "I never thought you would be so shameless! From now on, our ties are broken, and I will only stand on the side of justice!"
Tsk tsk...
She wasn't even bothering to act anymore, yet still wanted to maintain her reputation.
When she died, they'd probably have to tear down some chastity archway to make her coffin lid.
"Gentlemen, don't trouble yourselves with this matter."
The Wu Family people chuckled as they looked at Zhao Ying and Song Lianxin, "We can handle such a small matter ourselves! Don't worry, my Wu Family will definitely not let this shameless scoundrel off the hook!"
"This matter is not for your Wu Family to handle!"
Du Heng interrupted again, "My Du Family also has its pride! Today, my Du Family guests have arrived, and I must take Shen Jing back! However, rest assured, my Du Family will also not let him off easy!"
Listening to their words, Zhao Ying and Song Lianxin's faces simultaneously fell.
"Gentlemen, I advise you, don't put your own families in danger for the sake of a little pride!"
Zhao Ying's gaze was cold, and he no longer pretended.
Hmm?
Hearing Zhao Ying's obvious threat, Du Heng's stubborn temper immediately flared up, "My Du Family's ancestors were from the martial arts world, and we know a few people there. The Du Family fears nothing except fighting for our lives!"
He was very annoyed with Shen Jing.
But he was even more annoyed with Zhao Ying.
Although Shen Jing was shameless, at least he was openly shameless.
This dog was so hypocritical it made one sick.
He wanted to be a harlot and still have a memorial archway!
From the martial arts world, the Du Family!
As Du Heng's words fell, Wang Zan's eyelids twitched.
So it was this Du Family!
No wonder they were so arrogant!
"Isn't it just a Du Family? Who did I think it was!"
Zhao Ying narrowed his eyes, looking at Du Heng and the Wu Family people with an unfriendly expression, "Since none of you are willing to voluntarily give up the marriage contract, in my opinion, let's go to the government and let them decide!"
These two ungrateful people!
When they got to the government, he would show them what power was!
With Zhao Ying's strong backing, Wang Zan also became more confident, clamoring to go to the government.
Shen Jing, however, had no objections to this.
Go if you want to!
He knew that Zhao Ying wanted to use the government to pressure them.
But he had already thought of a countermeasure.
As long as the government wasn't a one-man show for the Zhao Family, Zhao Ying and Song Lianxin's schemes would never succeed.
When necessary, he would have to unleash his big move.
Soon, the group arrived at the government office.
After Du Heng and the Wu Family people sent messengers back to report, Du Yidao and Wu Xiong also rushed to the government office.
Seeing Du Yidao, Du Heng, feeling guilty, stepped forward and looked at his father with a bitter face, "Father..."
"You truly are my son!"
Du Yidao slapped Du Heng on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "You've done a great service for our family this time, kid!"
"Ah?"
Du Heng was startled, looking at his father with a bewildered expression.
He had been afraid that his father would blame him for his impulsive decision, for offending Zhao Ying and Song Lianxin over this matter!
But it turned out he had actually rendered a service?
What service?
What's going on?
Could it be that Shen Jing really had something extraordinary about him?
"Ah my ass!"
Du Yidao's face showed a gloating smile, "Just wait, that Sunzi from the Zhao Family will be crying later!"
Du Heng was even more bewildered.
What the hell!
Had his father taken the wrong medicine?
And Zhao Ying would cry?
He wouldn't have been driven mad by him, spouting nonsense here, would he?
It shouldn't... be that bad, right?
"Don't ask anything, just enjoy the show!"
Du Yidao gave Du Heng a mysterious smile, his peripheral vision glancing at the confident Zhao Ying.
This Sunzi, still so smug here?
He probably didn't even know who he had truly provoked!
Thinking that there would be a good show to watch soon, Du Yidao's smile became even brighter.
Looking at his father's gloating expression, Du Heng's mind suddenly became a bit confused.
What the hell was going on?
