Dozens of rattan strips were whipped, and Li Bei'er's white shirt was already stained with blood, and Hua Zixu seemed to be tired, so he threw away the rattan in his hand and slammed the door.

The room was instantly quiet, Li Bei'er curled up, her slender fingers pinched the corners of her clothes, her tears wet the sheets, helpless, helpless, desperate, this is a poor woman, but it is also a true portrayal of a woman in the Song Dynasty.

What can she do? Revolt? The system does not allow it; Divorce? There is no such law; Kill the husband? How can a woman with small feet beat a man; Suicide? That's all that remains to commit suicide.

If you think about Li Bei'er's life, you know that she will not commit suicide.

A person who was born with a hard life, has he not been beaten when he was a servant girl in a large family? Obviously, it is impossible, and it can be seen that beating has become the norm, and it is nothing more than the difference between the husband or the head of the family, rattan or stick, and the beating is heavier and lighter.

The father, the housewife, smashing prostitutes, the market, beating, everywhere reveals despicability and ugliness.

Li Yan stood on the wall for a long time, until the lights of the two houses were turned off and he slept peacefully, and then returned to Ximen Mansion from the main gate in despair.

As expected, the housekeeper in the concierge has changed a group of new people, and the door is opened by a lean man, Jue An has no information about this person, so he made a brief inquiry, he turned sideways to make a passageway, Li Yan stepped in, and looked around vigilantly.

In the eyes of the man, he did not see a trace of politeness and respect for the butler, only contempt and banter.

Li Yan walked back to the hut in three steps, inserted the door lock, and the first thing he did was to inspect Jue'an's property, gently lifted the floor, and saw that all the silver tickets were still there, which was a little comforting.

It was a sleepless night, Li Yan woke up from his dream several times, holding a dagger in his hand all the time, and he was holding it until dawn.

As usual, I changed into clean shorts and trousers, washed up and went to the kitchen to find food.

"Chief Hawksman, the hostess invites you to go to the main hall to talk."

Li Yan chewed the bun in his mouth and turned around, and saw that it was the man in the porter last night, presumably Erwang's henchman, and replied:

"Wait a minute, eat another bun."

The man answered, and stood aside and waited.

Li Yan shook his head and said in his heart: You have to come sooner or later, and you can't hide from it.

The current situation is very unfavorable to him, he thought that he could catch Erwang and Wu Yueniang fornicating, and then threaten him, but unfortunately he sent a lot of blood packets to mosquitoes in vain, and only witnessed a brutal domestic violence, and nothing else was found.

The main hall is a place for fair and honest discussions, and it seems that these two people are really innocent.

Wu Yueniang sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, took a sip of tea, and the little jade beside her glanced at Li Yanshi, the meaning was obvious, this was a danger signal.

Li Yan's right hand retracted into his cuff, ready to take out a dagger.

Erwang stood in front of Wu Yueniang with a gloomy face, his right hand on the back of the chair, looking very casual, he didn't take it in his eyes at all, it was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old child.

"Juan is here? You've worked hard these days, the busy work in and out of the house, it's good now, it's the right time for Erwang to come back, you also need to rest, take care of your body, look at this little white face, didn't you sleep well last night? ”

Wu Yueniang neither trusted nor doubted Li Yan, but she always felt that this child was weird, and she couldn't say what was wrong.

But in terms of work ability, she still believes in Erwang, after all, the business of the Simon family has always been managed by him.

"Whatever the godmother said, this is what I should do." Li Yan's tone was calm.

Wu Yueniang said again: "Okay, in the future, I will take care of some flowers and plants at home, take care of these disobedient subordinates, and leave the outside affairs to Erwang, which is also the leisure of our mother." ”

The tone was very easy-going, so that Li Yan couldn't refuse, after all, his identity was just a subordinate.

"It's up to you."

Erwang walked up to him and said, "I heard that you gave Liangshan robbers five thousand taels of silver?" ”

Li Yan looked at him with a donkey face and said, "Yes." ”

Erwang suddenly slapped him and slammed it towards Li Yan's face.

Fortunately, Li Yan has always been vigilant, took a step back slightly, and easily dodged.

Erwang's slap was full force, so he staggered two steps to the left while hitting the air.

Li Yan reflexively raised his right leg and kicked it over, right in the middle of Erwang's face, and suddenly his nose bleeds, he sat on the ground with his face covered, and scolded:

"Little cub, I'll kill you!"

Li Yan was even more angry when he heard this, although he didn't dare to kill people, but it was still okay to beat him violently, it was a big deal to eat a few months in prison, he was not a tepid temper.

Suddenly, five or six sturdy men broke in from outside the door, Li Yan retracted his fists and locked his throat instead, as long as Er Wang was locked, these people would not dare to act rashly.

Wu Yueniang smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground and shouted:

"Why is there no pattern like this, don't forget that I'm still here! Fighting in front of me, do you still have me as a housewife in your eyes? ”

Li Yan dragged Er Wang up from the ground, the strength of his hand did not decrease, and he said: "He hit me first!" ”

Erwang also wanted to defend himself, but unfortunately he could only snort.

"Release! Loosen! Don't make a fuss in the house! Wu Yueniang shouted.

"Get all his men out of the way."

Wu Yueniang looked at the men carefully, and wondered, "Where did all this come from?" When did there be more of these people I didn't know? ”

Li Yan slightly let go of Erwang's neck, and this Si took the opportunity to slip out of the body, grabbed a wooden stick, wiped the nosebleed, and was about to pounce again.

"Come on! Lao Tzu fought hard today, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one! ”

Li Yan took out his dagger, retreated to the back of the chair, and looked at Erwang and the others viciously.

Wu Yueniang saw Li Yan take out a knife, she screamed in fright, Xiaoyu also covered her mouth in surprise, and looked at Li Yan like a stranger, this is not the Juan she knows!

Wu Yueniang gasped for breath, leaning weakly on the armrest of the chair, looking frightened.

After five minutes of confrontation, Li Yan's arms were a little sore, but he didn't dare to move.

"It's over, isn't it? In that case, let's both go! Wu Yueniang patted the table and said.

Erwang rolled his eyes, handed the wooden stick in his hand to his subordinates, stretched out his hand and said:

"He beat me like this, how do you say this matter is over, hostess."

Wu Yueniang looked at the blood on his hands, and then looked at Li Yan in horror, her eyes fell on the dagger, her body trembled in fright, and said:

"Jue'an, this family can't keep you, you can go."

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Ju'an is also for defense, and after his father's death, he has been in charge day and night, without merit and hard work, how can the hostess do this?" ”

Wu Yueniang's apricot eyes widened, her eyebrows stood and she said angrily: "When is it your turn to accuse me?" Didn't you with him a long time ago? Say, yes and no! ”

Xiao Yutong knelt down and shook her head again and again in denial.
