119. Men's Responsibilities

After Jing Wen knew that he had become a villain, he immediately took Liu Qing to her house, hoping to ask her mother Mrs. Liu about the whole story of the matter.

"My husband had a good relationship with the Zhang family, and at that time he was not corrupt. Thanks to Zhang Qiang's promotion in his career, he had a good relationship with Zhang Qiang. At that time, Zhang Qiang took the initiative to establish a family with him. At that time, Qing'er was ten years old and had just given birth to a second child, and was also a daughter. His husband agreed to Zhang Qiang when he was happy. Because this way he could become a family with his superiors, and his relationship was one level, and it was easier to make progress in his career."

"But, there was an unexpected situation in the world. The second year old daughter died of a cold. The old woman was too sad and seriously ill. At that time, the husband had white hair in order to raise medical expenses for the old woman and to pay the money for the second daughter to treat her. At this time, Zhang Qiang's true face leaked out, and he actually wanted to take this opportunity to bring his husband into the water and corrupt together. Afterwards, the husband thought it would be okay to take some money and would not be discovered. But he was reported by a minor official. As a result, the emperor was still in power at that time. The emperor Longyan was furious and ordered the beheading of his husband on the spot. Zhang Qiang did not come forward to protect his husband, but instead took the blame to his husband. The husband was beheaded."

"You should know what happened next. But Qing'er took the opportunity to check the accounts some time ago and got Zhang Qiang in. Now he is preparing to behead him. It's so clear that he is not happy to retaliate!"

After hearing this, Jing Wen immediately said, "What we want to talk about now is the engagement. What's going on? If there was a engagement at that time, why would you want to give me Qing'er TOEFL?"

"At that time, our Liu family had completely declined, and Zhang Qiang also brought people to hint that the marriage would be forgotten. At that time, my husband was beheaded because of corruption, so no one was willing to make friends with our family. Zhang Qiang also wanted to avoid trouble, but he didn't want to be a reputation of remorseful marriage, so he just sent someone to hint that the marriage ended like this. But he didn't expect that this thing happened now." Mrs. Liu said.

After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Jing Wen smiled bitterly. No matter how you look at this matter, it is helpless. Zhang Qiang didn't want to be famous for voluntarily breaking the engagement, so it just made people hint that the engagement was over. But now, Zhang Qiang's son Zhang Fen has been used by him, wanting to use this engagement to torture Liu Qing and take revenge on Liu Qing.

If we want to talk about the law, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Qing should indeed fulfill the engagement and be Zhang Fen's wife. But now it is obvious that the reason why Zhang Fen wanted to marry Liu Qing was for revenge and for Liu Qing's wealth. If Liu Qing married him, wouldn't it be for the sake of sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Besides, Liu Qing was already a person decided by Jing Wen. If he gave it to others, wouldn't it be that Jing Wen's man's face be lost? By then, Jing Wen might become a laughing stock in Chang'an City.

Now, if Zhang Fen alone is alone, the matter is very easy to solve. Just ask a few people to beat Zhang Fen to force him to break the engagement. But now someone wants to take advantage of the problem and rectify Jing Wen, which makes things so complicated. What is even more troublesome now is that Jing Wen is indeed untenable in law, at least in law in the Tang Dynasty. The engagement is legal, not to mention that Zhang Qiang and his family did not take the initiative to break the engagement, at least it is just a hint. But the hint cannot replace the real breaking process, and no one can testify. This is something that both parties ignore, and as a result, Zhang Fen has the opportunity to bite people now.

"Sir Jingwen, do you think this matter is very troublesome?" asked Mrs. Liu.

Jing Wen immediately smiled deliberately and said, "There is a little trouble, but it's not too big."

Jing Wen was deliberately comforting him, and this matter was actually very tricky. Those who wanted to take advantage of the problem were not easy to pass on, so it was not easy to solve this problem. The key now is that the righteousness is their side, and their righteousness is the law of the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Shimin cannot help him. No matter what the emperor said, he cannot explicitly get along with the law. What's more, Li Shimin is a "gentleman". Although this gentleman is full of water, he cannot explicitly get along with the law.

"Mr. Jingwen, if it really doesn't work, then let Qing'er marry that Zhang Fen. You have helped us too much and we can't cause trouble for you. If this matter is not handled well, it may affect your future. We cannot let you worry about our affairs, otherwise we will repay kindness and revenge." Mrs. Liu said.

"Madam (Mother)!" Jing Wen and Liu Qing said in surprise at the same time.

Mrs. Liu held Liu Qing's hand and said, "Qing'er, my illness can be cured, but it's a loss to Lord Jingwen. And you can do this now, thanks to Lord Jingwen. Lord Jingwen is so kind to us, so we can't cause trouble for Lord Jingwen. Now, my mother knows that the only way to solve this problem is to let you marry that Zhang Fen. Although this is unfair to you, this is the only way to help Lord Jingwen solve this problem. If you have a drop of water, you will repay him. Since you and Lord Jingwen have no chance to be together in this life, you will repay him. I hope you can be together in the next life."

"Mom!" Liu Qing suddenly said in tears.

But Jing Wen stood up immediately and said righteously: "As a man, how can I let a woman sacrifice for me? As a man, if a woman sacrifices for me, I will probably not be able to raise my head in my life. Madam, since Qing'er is my woman, I will have to shelter him from the wind and rain. If a man doesn't even have the ability to shelter women from the wind and rain, then he is not qualified to be a man. So, Madam, don't talk about Qing'er's sacrifice anymore. If it doesn't work, at most I can spend money and invite a group of outlaws to kill into Dali Temple and kill that Zhang Fen!"

"Sir Jingwen, no!" Mrs. Liu suddenly exclaimed.

"Husband, no!" Liu Qing also shouted.

Jing Wen also breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a moment of angry words. If he really did this, it would be no different from treason.

"Husband, Qing'er already knows how much you love Qing'er, but you must not do stupid things for Qing'er! Qing'er is not worth it!" Liu Qing said excitedly.

Liu Qing was very excited because Jing Wen had just said that he was willing to invite despairers to attack Dali Temple for him. This was almost impossible in ancient times. And being able to do so for her is enough to show that Jing Wen attached great importance to her. How many men could have done this for her women in ancient times? So Liu Qing was very moved.

"Madam, can you please let me see the engagement document?" Jing Wen asked.

Mrs. Liu took out the document helplessly and handed it over to Jing Wen. This kind of marriage contract document is held by both men and women, and even has a record in the government, so it is useless even if it is torn apart.
