Chapter 288
"Are you two brothers going to see a play as well?" Mingyue said softly with bright eyes.
Mingyang caressed her soft hair lovingly, "Yes. I know you will definitely get up. Instead of letting you go secretly by yourself, why don't we take you there together?"
Mingyue chuckled, holding one of her brothers in each hand, and went downstairs. Zhizhi made a face at Taotao.
Taotao sighed, oh, just spoil her.
"Get out, everyone, get out. This is our family's private matter!" A familiar voice came, Mingyue quickened her pace and got to the front.
Upon closer inspection, the person turned out to be Wu's mother!
Then... the man inside must be Wu Youmou.
Mingyue bit her handkerchief excitedly, afraid that she would laugh out loud. One of the most satisfying things is to see someone you don't like embarrassed or in trouble.
"Why don't you care about our business? Didn't you say there was a thief? Why did you steal people?" The big man's rough voice quickly drowned out the voice of Wu's mother asking everyone to disperse.
"Ah? Why is there still a thief?" Mingyue asked in surprise.
"You little girl, how can you join in this kind of fun?" an old lady next to her said seriously.
Mingyue was just begging for mercy, asking the old lady not to throw her out, when she saw her move herself to the center of the crowd and then protect her behind her so that no one would notice. "Hehe, you really have the style of me back then! Don't worry, grandma will protect you!"
Mingyue winked at the old lady, and the two of them exchanged secret signals.
Minghao and Mingyang were squeezed into a pancake. Looking at Mingyue's excellent viewing area, they lamented that they had the same people but different fates.
"Brother, why is my sister so lucky every time?" Minghao's face was squeezed flat and he could hardly speak clearly.
"Huh," Ming Yang finally found a comfortable position, "Of course. Do you still want to compete with her?"
Minghao stopped talking, alas.
The old lady was explaining to Mingyue, "Just now, someone was outside yelling that there was a thief, so everyone followed the figure to this house. But no one expected that instead of seeing the thief, they saw this couple being intimate."
Mingyang wanted to cover the old lady's mouth at this moment, for fear that she would describe more details about the affairs between men and women, which would pollute Mingyue's ears.
Fortunately, she didn't say much.
Mingyue asked, "Then why do people say we're here to catch an adulterer?"
"Tsk, this guy has introduced himself and his fiancée to so many rich people this afternoon that our ears are callused from hearing so much. But the person on the bed is not his fiancée." The old lady scratched her ears.
The uncle next to him joined in the conversation, "Huh, I thought his fiancée was pretty good, so I wanted to support her. I usually despise those cousins who are having affairs with each other and pretend to be so noble."
Mingyue gave her eldest brother a thumbs up, "Uncle, you are this!"
The uncle next to him felt elated after hearing this, and his sense of justice was even stronger.
At this time, Wu Youmou inside had already put on his clothes and looked at the crowd at the door with a fierce look on his face, "All of you get out of here, this is my private matter!"
"But you two are having an affair without a matchmaker!" said the old lady.
"Who said I had an affair without a matchmaker? She is my cousin and will be my wife in the future. It is both reasonable and acceptable. How can you give me the right to tell me what to do?"
At this time, Miss Shen pushed through the crowd and walked to the front. "What about me, Brother Wu?"
Wu Youmou had never expected that his ugly deeds would be seen by Shen Ru, and he still wanted to save the situation, "Ruru, it was Jiaojiao who seduced me. Yes, she drugged me!"
"Brother Wu, I heard everything you said just now. You want to hug me left and right, but where does that leave me?" Shen Ru's heart was broken, and she covered her face and cried.
At this time, Wu Youmou's cousin Jiaojiao, wearing disheveled clothes, knelt at Shen Ru's feet and said, "Sister Shen, Sister Shen, please accept me. I am already my cousin's, and I am pregnant with his child!"
Cousin Jiaojiao's words shocked everyone present. Even Wu Youmou was unaware. He subconsciously helped Jiaojiao up and looked at her excitedly, "Are you serious? Are you pregnant with my child?"
Jiaojiao lowered her head shyly and said nothing.
Mother Wu also ran over to her happily, asking about her well-being, "Oh, Jiaojiao, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing? How many months has it been?"
"It's been three months." Jiaojiao turned her head away shyly.
Shen Ru was almost unable to stand, but the innkeeper's wife held her in her arms and said, "My dear girl, a lid fits a pot. We don't want this kind of scum!"
"A three-month-old baby means these two have been having an affair for at least three months..." The people around were watching the fun, not afraid of any trouble.
Shen Ru was in tears, completely different from the joy of the Wu mother and son.
"Break the engagement! Break the engagement!"
"Cough, cough, cough." A weak but angry voice came from the stairs.
I saw Shen's mother, holding on to the wall, slowly walking down the stairs.
Shen Ru immediately stepped forward and supported her mother, "Mom, why did you come down?"
"This marriage must be cancelled!" Shen's mother threw the token of love and the engagement letter on the ground, making a clanging sound.
Shen's father was a good friend of Wu's father, and the two had arranged their children's marriages early on. However, Shen's father passed away a year ago, leaving the Shen family without support. Shen's mother didn't want her frail body to burden her daughter, so she wanted them to get married soon.
But I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen.
"Just call it quits. Your family is just an empty shell. I used to think her father was still capable and could help my son in the future, but now, there is nothing left. What else is there to talk about? Call off the engagement!" Mother Wu had long been fed up with the Shen family's mother and daughter. Now that the engagement was called off, her son could marry a better woman in the future. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wu Youmou still looked at Shen Ru affectionately, hoping that she would beg him to take her in.
But the scene he expected did not appear. He only saw Shen Ru tearing up the marriage certificate and smashing the token of love to the ground, over and over again, until it broke into pieces.
Then a look of relief came over her face.
Everyone felt very sympathetic towards her.
Wu Youmou felt like his dignity had been slammed to the ground. He began to insult Shen Ru, "You poor fellow, who else do you want to marry? You were marrying up to me in the past, and now you can't even ask me to be your concubine."
"Hmph, from now on, whether you marry a widower or remain single for the rest of your life, it has nothing to do with me, Wu Youmou. We are done with each other, and I will bear witness to this once again!"
But he didn't expect that no one agreed with him. Instead, they all surrounded Shen Ru to congratulate him.
"Congratulations to Miss Shen on her new life."
"Congratulations, Miss Shen, for escaping the sea of suffering."
"I wish Miss Shen to find a good husband soon."
And so on.
Only the three of them were left standing there, looking fiercely in the direction of Shen Ru.
Jiaojiao pretended to cry out, "Ouch."
Mother Wu hugged her anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"My stomach just feels a little uncomfortable." Jiaojiao said in a low voice.
Wu's mother and Wu Youmou immediately had no time to care about what was happening outside and closed the door to take care of Jiaojiao.
