Chapter 323: The Hateful Man
"Haven't come back yet, presumably the matter has become ......" Zhao Ziru smiled at the corner of her lips and said: "Pei Ning, you go to find the sixth girl, just say, the things she entrusted me the day before yesterday are already eyebrows, but now the things haven't arrived, if she hasn't slept yet, come and talk to me, it just so happens that I can't sleep." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIf there's something going on, I'll come back tomorrow. β
"Yes, ma'am. Pei Ning thought for a while, and then said, "Madam, do we have to make some other preparations here?"
Zhao Ziru shook her head: "There is no need to do anything, we are in the Li family, we can't show half of the flaws, if this thing can be done, just like this, it can be done, if it can't be done, no matter how much we do, it will be useless, and it will catch us." Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Go now, don't delay. β
In the Zhen Courtyard, Li Shuyu did not sleep, and Vanilla and Lianyue cleaned up the cups and plates on the side. The soft moonlight blended with the candlelight through the window lattice, shining on Li Shuyu's nascent face, showing a kind of jade-like clean luster. Vanilla giggled while cleaning up: "The girl has really grown up, and she knows that Gu Jing has self-pity." β
Li Shuyu turned her head and sneered: "Little hooves are so talkative! Why don't you go and see if the bird's nest is stewed." β
Vanilla's hands were beaten, and the cups and plates collided with each other with a 'clanging' sound. Li Shuyu looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"
Vanilla and Lianyue glanced at each other, and Lianyue said: "Today, the slave maid went to the big kitchen, and the big Liu family said that now the old lady has retired to the other courtyard, and the eldest master and the second master have no income, only the third master's Yulu is still handed over to the public middle school, and the silver on the public account is getting less and less." In the past, the business of the second lady's family was prosperous, and it was not bad to subsidize it with silver, but the business in the shop has not been very good recently, so it can't always be self-subsidized like this. In order to alleviate the expenses of the house, the bird's nest and other supplements in the various houses in the future have been reduced, and if the masters want to eat these supplements, they need to attach additional silver......"
Li Shuyu put down the comb in her hand, turned around and asked, "Mother really said that?"
Lianyue nodded, "Yes." β
Li Shuyu said: "Most of my mother's shops are medicine shops and rice shops. It stands to reason that there will be no abnormal gains, and there will be no losses. How can business suddenly be bad?
Vanilla sighed and said, "The slave has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
Li Shuyu frowned and looked at her: "If you think you shouldn't say it, you shouldn't mention it, since you mentioned it, what are you going to do!"
Vanilla walked up to Li Shuyu, picked up the comb on the side, and combed it up for her, while saying, "We don't know how long our house has maintained this situation." The second lady has only reduced this item at this time, how much can it be reduced? It is said that the masters have added their own bodies, needless to say in the third room, the big house now has a girl from the Zhao family who married her as a steproom, and you have also seen the richness of the dowry, and I didn't care if the bird's nest in the house was not a bird's nest. In fact, the only thing that is difficult is the girl, you and your aunt. β
Li Shuyu's brows furrowed, "You mean, a concubine is a concubine, even if I am filial in front of my mother, it is superfluous, and my mother can't feel sorry for me, right?"
Vanilla hurriedly knelt down and said, "The girl is angry, the slave has followed the girl since she was a child, and naturally she thinks about the girl everywhere. The girl has ever thought about it, which family is not a thorn in the heart of the main room, now the girl is older, and she is about to discuss marriage, the slave maid is only afraid that the second lady will not take the girl to heart, so she said these words, if the girl blames the slave and maid for talking too much, punish the slave and the maid. β
Li Shuyu pulled up the herbs: "How can I blame you, why bother to say this to block me! You don't understand in my heart, in fact, I haven't thought about it." After all, I am a concubine, and I crawled out of my aunt's belly. Fortunately, the fifth sister always thinks about me and takes me with me wherever she goes, so that I can spread a good reputation. Family affairs ......" Li Shuyu thought of that person, and her eyes were gloomy: "If my mother doesn't take it to heart, she can't be bad." Don't say this again, if someone with a heart hears it, it's our bad. β
Vanilla glanced at Li Shuyu and had to shut up.
Lianyue put away the cups and plates, came in from outside, and said Zhao Ziru's words. Li Shuyu was upset, so she stood up: "I'm okay left and right, so I'll go and talk to my aunt." β
Li Shuyu said, and went to the big room. On the way to the atrium, I bumped into a mother-in-law who came over in a hurry: "Where are you in a hurry, why are you so flustered?" The mother-in-law saw that it was Li Shuyu, and hurriedly responded: "It turned out to be the sixth girl, the Qi family is here, and she said that she has something urgent to see the third young grandmother." β
Li Shuyu watched her mother-in-law leave in a hurry, and couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to the Qi family?"
Vanilla said: "The girl is close to the third young grandmother on weekdays, I don't know if it's okay, if you know a little bit, it doesn't seem good to ask, it's better for the girl to take a look." The eldest lady said that if the girl had something to do, she would be fine tomorrow. β
Li Shuyu thought about it and nodded: "Lianyue went to tell the eldest aunt, and said that I had something to do temporarily, and I would go to her tomorrow." With that, he turned around and walked out of the second gate with vanilla. Sure enough, there was a girl waiting there, Li Shuyu saw that she looked so anxious, so she stepped forward and asked, "Are you the girl of the Qi family?
When the girl saw her say this, she asked, "Are you the sixth girl?" Seeing Li Shuyu nodding, she said: "The slave maid is the girl next to the second girl of the Qi family, I heard that the sixth girl is very good with my aunt and grandmother, so the slave maid will not hide it from the sixth girl." Today, the second girl of my family somehow fell into the water on my aunt's painting boat and was saved by my uncle...... In front of everyone's eyes, the eldest aunt and his wife and sister have a skin-to-skin relationship, and it has been rumored...... At this time, my aunt was taken back to the house by our master, and she was using family law, and she was about to be killed!"
"Is this true?" Li Shuyu gasped, of course she didn't believe that the third brother would have anything to think of Qi Yan, this must have been framed, but the top priority was to save the third brother first!
The girl nodded hurriedly: "The slave maid has to go back to the house quickly, otherwise the master will find out, and the slave and maid's life will not be guaranteed, and please tell my aunt and grandmother that the sixth girl must tell my aunt!"
"Okay, I'll go tell the third sister-in-law!"
Li Shuyu was panting with her skirt in her hand, and as soon as she arrived at the corridor outside the third room, she saw Qi Rou coming over: "Third sister-in-law!"
Qi Rou was pregnant, her body was tired, and she had already fallen asleep, so she would get up in a hurry and sweat profusely. Seeing Li Shuyu coming to her in such a panic, I couldn't help but feel even more anxious. "Sixth sister, why are you here?"
Li Shuyu hurriedly told the ins and outs, Qi Rou's pretty face suddenly turned white, Li Yi and her sister?"This is impossible! He is not that kind of person!" Li Shuyu said: "Third sister-in-law, the third brother must have been framed." You hurry back to Qi Mansion to have a look, otherwise, the third brother will be beaten to death by Lord Qi!"
Qi Rou stumbled at his feet: "I'll go back." Xiao Tang, the girl beside Qi Rou, hurriedly stopped: "Third young grandmother, it's already so late, let's show the lord and Mrs. first!"
"No, as soon as my father's temper comes up, no one can stop it, and this matter is about Yan'er. In case the husband has three longs and two shorts, how can you let me and the child live?" Qi Rou said anxiously: "Why don't you go and tell your father and mother now, I will go to the Qi Mansion to stop me first!"
Qi Rou hurriedly went out, and Xiao Tang ran all the way to the main courtyard, explaining the matter to Li Weiqing and Yao. At first glance, Yao almost couldn't get up in one breath: "This Qi Huantian, how can he be so ......?"
"Wait. Li Weiqing stopped Yao's words, frowned and asked Xiao Tang: "You said that the third young grandmother has gone out." β
"Yes. As soon as the third young lady heard that the young master was in danger, she hurriedly went out!"
"It's not good! Someone!" Li Weiqing took his robe and went out: "Let people intercept the third young grandmother!
Li Weiqing hurriedly put on her clothes, and Yao followed closely behind her, but as soon as the group arrived at the door, they saw Li Yi enter the gate of the Li Mansion. Seeing him, Yao hurriedly went over, looked up and down, and said, "Yi'er, are you okay?"
Li Yi easily broke the trap of the other party, and promoted a good marriage, and he was in a good mood. When Leng Bu saw them, he was puzzled: "There was something trivial tonight, but it has been resolved." What are you?"
As soon as Li Weiqing saw Li Yi, his face suddenly darkened to the bottom. "Bastard, if something happens, I don't know that I will only make a noise when I go home, and I will let people take advantage of the loophole! Immediately call people out to find them! I must find people back!" Li Yi was stunned on the spot, watching a large number of guards pouring out of the Li Mansion, and couldn't help asking: "A-Niang! Who is the accident? Who is this looking for?"
Yao looked at his son, and said with regret in his heart: "It's Arou......" Li Yi's eyes darkened, it turned out that they still had a backhand! He didn't expect it! He stabilized his body: "I'll go too!"
Yao Shi watched Li Yi run out and looked at Li Weiqing: "Zifang, this, how can it be good!
Li Weiqing's hands and feet are cold, first his daughter and son-in-law, and now his son and daughter-in-law...... He said: "Ah Jun, she has only been out for a short time, maybe we are too careful, you can rest assured first, your body is important." β
Li Yi chased all the way to Qi Mansion, but he didn't even see a shadow, and Qi Rou's carriage seemed to disappear out of thin air. Qi Huantian saw him suddenly return to Qi Mansion, and immediately changed color when he asked about the ins and outs: "You said that Arou is gone?!, come on, go and call all the girls around Yan'er to me!"
Qi Yan suffered from the cold, but when she heard that Qi Rou had an accident, she hurriedly followed the girls to the front hall: "Father, brother-in-law, but what happened to my sister?"
Li Yi didn't have the heart to answer, and asked the maidservants directly: "Who of you went to the Li Mansion today?"
The maids all shook their heads, and Qi Yan said, "The two girls who went out of the house with me today, my father has found their bodies, and they have been dead for a long time...... It will definitely not be the person who went to the Li Mansion to spread the word, and the rest have never left the mansion today. β
Li Yi slammed his fist on the corner of the table: "Father, please gather people to find Arou." β
Qi Huantian was naturally anxious about his daughter, but his daughter was abducted late at night, which was ...... He looked at his son-in-law: "Hong Jian, if I summon the people from the yamen to look for it, this matter will definitely not be covered up, Arou she ......"
Li Yi said: "Father, Arou is my wife, what happened to her is my responsibility, no matter what, I will not give up Arou." With that, Li Yi turned around and went out and disappeared into the night!
"I really didn't misunderstand the Li family, I didn't misunderstand Li Yi! In this case, what are I afraid of if I, Qi Huantian, form a line with your Li family!" After a few things happened from King Jing's Mansion, Qi Hantian realized that someone was secretly dealing with King Jing's Mansion and Li Xiang's Mansion, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Come here, gather all the manpower, and give me all the places where people may be hidden!"
Xiang Jiu rushed to the Li Mansion, his face was also terrible, Li Worm also asked him to help her take care of the Li Mansion when he left, Mu Shan was still lying on the couch at this time and couldn't move, like a dummy, Qi Rou had an accident here again!
Li Weiqing shook his head, if they were still holding on to luck at this time, they would be too stupid. Qi Rou just went out not long ago, he knew the news, and when he turned back to chase it, he disappeared, someone must have taken the opportunity to rob Qi Rou.
An hour passed, and Li Yi rushed into the Li Mansion with sweat on his face: "Daddy, does Arou have any news?"
Seeing the other party's face, Li Yi knew that he was delusional, he held a sword in his hand and walked to Xiao Tang: "I went to the Qi Mansion to ask, and after nightfall, no girl has ever left the mansion at all! Who came to the mansion to upload the news? Why did you go directly to the third young grandmother? Don't you go to the main courtyard first!"
Xiao Tang's face was frightened by the cold sword in his hand, she knelt down and looked up at Li Yi and said, "The slave didn't see anyone from Qifu, it was the sixth girl who heard the news and came to tell the third young grandmother in person." β
Someone immediately called Li Shuyu over, she saw Li Yi standing there with a sword, but Qi Rou was not around, and said suspiciously: "Third brother, are you back? Where is the third sister-in-law?" Didn't she go to look for you?"
The anger in Li Yi's heart rose up, and he pointed his long sword at Li Shuyu: "Did you listen to other people's nonsense and tell Arou?!"
Li Shuyu was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Third brother, I didn't! That girl said sincerely, the situation is urgent, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I hurriedly went to tell the third sister-in-law......"
"Shut up!" Li Yi was furious, "Who wants you to meddle in your business!"
Li Shuyu was stunned, and Vanilla knelt beside her and said: "The slave can prove that our girl is unintentional, but she is too worried that the third young master will fall for someone else's trick, how can the third young master blame our girl!"
Li Yi was furious, and raised his sword to cut a bloody hole in Vanilla's arm.
"Vanilla!"
Vanilla fell at Li Shuyu's feet, blood flowed from her arms, and she looked at Li Shuyu with teary eyes. Li Shuyu held the vanilla, looked at Li Yi's vicious gaze, and the chill in her heart was victorious, except for the vanilla, no one around was willing to distinguish a word for her, and countless grievances came to her heart. She laughed to herself, "Yes, I shouldn't be nosy. β
"Okay! It's important to hurry up and find someone!" Li Weiqing drove Li Yi to find someone and said to Li Shuyu: "The six girls are indeed too reckless today, so they have become a big deal, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours, and punish them with a big commandment!"
Li Shuyu returned to the Zhen Courtyard, watched Lianyue bandage the vanilla, and sneered: "Vanilla, you're right, I'm nothing in their eyes, and doing a hundred good things can't be worth a wrong thing." β
Lianyue sighed and comforted: "Girl, don't think too much, the third young master is also too anxious, after all, the whereabouts of the third young lady are unknown, if something happens, or even hurt her life, how can it be good......"
Vanilla cried and said: "Lianyue, how do you know how the third young master treated the sixth girl at that time, at that time, he looked at the sixth girl with the same eyes as those cats and dogs, if the girl said one more word, the third young master's sword would not be stabbed on me, but on the sixth girl!"
"Okay, just say a few words! Isn't that adding fuel to the fire!"
Vanilla said: "Can I change the girl's situation with a few words? Today's incident, the girl is just kind to help, and the girl is not comfortable when something happens, but how much does this have to do with the girl? The girl usually walks closest to the third room, and she often comes and goes with the third young grandmother, and often makes things for the third young grandmother to replenish her body, how can the third young master treat the girl like this!"
"Okay! Don't say it!" Li Shuyu stood up and said expressionlessly: "It's not early, I still have to go to the ancestral hall for two hours." β
Qi Rou woke up from the coma, subconsciously moved her hands and feet, and found that she was tied. A woman's voice came from not far away: "Are you awake?"
The room was lit with many candles, and it was not dim, and she looked in the direction from which the voice came, and found a woman in red sitting there, looking at her with her cheeks held for a long time. "Who are you? ...... I recognize you! Are you Yang Miao?" Qi Rou and Yang Mi are both beautiful girls in Beijing, what kind of flowers will be at the willow meeting, so they naturally met, and they are the same introverted girls who don't talk much, and they have spoken together a few times.
Qi Rou was startled, and found that the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart: "Where is this?" Yang Miao, I have no grudge against you, why did you bring me here?"
Yang Miao slowly came to her, the long tulle on the red dress dragged behind her, it was very strange under the candlelight, she smiled: "Sister Qi, we meet again." I used to have a good impression of you, but ......" she laughed and continued: "The Tao is different, you married into the Li family, and I are destined to be mortal enemies......"
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Rou looked at Yang Miao, who had a strange expression, and couldn't help but feel that her whole person was different from before: "You ......"
Yang Yan sat on the edge of her bed and said: "At the beginning, when Li Shuci and my eldest brother were married, I thought she would be my good sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that she would not only get entangled with my fiancΓ©, but also cause me to be divorced and abandoned by Shen Yuan! I was sent back to my hometown, and they all laughed at me! Even the person I miss now is still for her, I hate her so much! I can't wait to cut her with a thousand knives...... Oh, by the way, speaking of a thousand cuts, I've recently fallen in love with the feeling of killing, especially digging out the heart of an acquaintance, that feeling is really wonderful......"
A dagger fell out of Yang Miao's sleeve, and Qi Rou saw that what she said did not look like a fake, so she shook her head again and again: "Don't ......"
"Sister of the Qi family, don't blame me, the Li family is a difficult bone to gnaw, and it is a last resort to start with you. If you want to hate me, hate me......"
