Chapter 494 Wang Ruoqing
Chapter 494 Wang Ruoqing
Lord Fei blocked all the escape routes of the Wang family, there was nothing they could do, if they apologized their apology will not be accepted and if they didn’t accept Lord Fei’s apology then they will never be able to raise their foot in the capital ever again. The head of the Wang family was so furious that his entire body started to quiver, he knew that his daughter wasn’t what he will call smart but at least she was wise enough to know whom she could offend and those she couldn’t- to think that girl would act so stupidly that she will actually offend Lord Fei with one move!He softly inhaled and spoke in a voice that was full of humbleness, ” Lord Fei, I knew that my daughter might have done something wrong but I can assure you that she didn’t mean it. She is kind and her heart is in the right place, please forgive her and relay our heartfelt apology to your granddaughter. It was never our intention to insult her.”
Lord Fei raised his brows in a slightly calm look and spoke in a sharp voice that felt like molten glass was being poured down their ears, ” Heh, I would have loved to send your apology to my granddaughter but the thing is Lord Wang, my granddaughter is actually in yamen and your daughter left the order of not letting us see my dear granddaughter. So, excuse me, if I don’t do what you have asked me to because I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about it.”
Over. Their family was over. The old matriarch of the Wang family was at a complete loss of words after listening to what Lord Fei had to say to them, and after she found out that her idiot granddaughter actually sent this great imperial strategist’s granddaughter to the yamen, she knew that their Wang family’s end was near. To think that they weren’t killed off by those cunning ministers who wanted to end them yet their family’s entire fortune died in the hand of her granddaughter! The Wang family matriarch trembled and her knees gave away as she plopped on the floor.
” Lord Fei-“
” Father where are you?” The head of the Wang family was going to plead more for his case but then he heard his daughter, Wang Rouqing’s voice and he immediately stiffened, he just hoped that his daughter would not blurt out anything stupid but the fortune that the Wang Family’s ancestors have collected seemed to have been used up by them because the gods didn’t listen to his plea and the next second he heard Wang Ruoqing’s annoyed, whiny voice, ” Father, do you know what happened to me today? I was bullied by those Yamen officers, I suffered so much because of these rashes that I couldn’t sleep but when I asked the yamen officers to punish that woman who was responsible for making me suffer like this, they refused! They said that they couldn’t give a heavy-handed punishment for something so minor and didn’t touch that woman! How can that happen? Am I the young miss of the Wang family less than that commoner girl? As long as she didn’t die, a few smacks were alright, isn’t it? Humph, even if she died what’s that’s to us… she is just some common village girl, how can she amount to us?”
’ Just stop talking you, idiotic girl! Is this the time to say such things?b do you want your father to doe because you think you are living a bit too nicely?’ Lord Wang was so angry that he forgot the fear that he was feeling in his heart. Right now, he wished that he could rush out of the parlour and slap that stupid girl!
” Call her here, I want to see just how badly she is suffering. After all, if her injuries are really that grave then shouldn’t I provide her proper treatment, since all of this happened because of my granddaughter?” Lord Fei wanted to see this young girl who had the guts to call the yamen officers for such a small thing, if the products of a shop were substandard then of course it was the right of the commoners to complain in the yamen but for the sake of protecting the shopkeepers from being falsely accused there was also a law that depicts that if the quality of the product was degrading then the shopkeeper would be given a month before his arrest so that he could plead his case if he was being falsely accused.
There were several cases when the shopkeepers would go against each other and they would harm their opponents by bribing the workers or something along the line, there was no shortage of dirty deals in this world. But this young lady of the Wang family pushed Lin Chen’s arrest even when the one month trial wasn’t up if this wasn’t misuse of power then what was?
With a panic-stricken expression, Lord Wang looked up at Lord Fei but upon seeing the ruthless smile on that old face, he knew that there was no hope to turn this situation around, in the end, he had no choice but to send a servant to call Wang Ruoqing to the parlour.
When Wang Ruoqing arrived at the parlour where her father entertained the guests, she received a lot of peculiar gazes … some were blaming, some contemptuous and some were sympathetic. Wang Ruoqing was confused why were these servants looking at her like this? Though she wanted to flare up, Wang Ruoqing still suppressed the anger in her heart. Her father has called her in a hurry if she got there late then her father might scold her. In the entire family Wang Ruoqing was the most afraid of her father and thus didn’t dare to slight her father’s order.
” Father, did you call-” me.. what was going on why was her father kneeling on the floor like that? What happened, surprised she turned to look at the guests and immediately dropped to her knees. Lord Fei? What was he doing here?
