Hearing Li Jia say this, Ah Zi's mother couldn't say anything more, so she had to set her eyes on Qi Tong.

Qi Tong cleared his throat and said, "Then I'll send someone out to look for it and see if I can find Ah Zi." ”

She turned her head to look at Ah Zi's mother and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, the security in the capital is still quite good, Ah Zi will be fine." Maybe it's just a moment of playfulness, staying somewhere, forgetting the time to go home. ”

Li Jia's face was a little hot at this time, and she always felt that Qi Tong was talking about her.

Doesn't she often spend the night outside the house?

But where can she be the same as Ah Zi, she is the cousin girl in this house.

"Big lady, Jia'er's body is a little tired, if there is nothing else, Jia'er wants to go back and rest first."

Qi Tong glanced at Li Jia's stomach, although it was not obvious at this time, she was still a little worried.

It's better to plan ahead.

"Go ahead." Qi Tong said softly.

Li Jia bent her knees slightly, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a small servant ran over to pass the word: "Big lady, Master Li from Xinzhou is here, and he is waiting in the front hall at this time." ”

Qi Tong hurriedly asked, "Is the master back?" ”

The little maid shook his head and said, "The master explained that the eldest lady should take the cousin over first, and he will return to the house soon." ”

Qi Tong nodded lightly, rubbed his temples anxiously, and sighed: "Got it, step down." ”

She turned her head to look at Li Jia, only to see that Li Jia, who had always had a calm face, was also a little panicked at this time.

Li Jia couldn't understand why her father suddenly came to the capital.

Could it be that her cousin-in-law told her father about her?

Thinking of this, Li Jia was much calmer.

When her father came, someone could finally make the decision for her.

It is impossible for her cousin to treat her as attentively as he does to several cousins.

Li Jia happily came to the front hall and said with a smile: "Father." ”

Li Shang suddenly raised his hand and slapped Li Jia, who didn't know what to call Li Jia and fell heavily to the ground.

Ah Ying hurriedly walked over to help Li Jia up, Li Jia looked at Li Shang in disbelief and asked, "Father, what is this doing?" ”

"Don't call me father, I don't have a shameless daughter like you."

Li Shang flicked his sleeves angrily and turned his back.

He really didn't want to see this daughter at this time.

Qi Tong, who walked in one step later, happened to see the scene of Li Jia being slapped by his father, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master Li, Jia'er is still young after all, and I hope that Master Li will dissipate your anger." The most important thing at the moment is Jia'er's marriage. ”

At this time, Qi Tong also had a trace of sympathy for Li Jia, after all, such a thing happened, and the first thing Li Jia's father did when he came to the capital was to slap his daughter?

No wonder Li Jia acted so radically, it turned out that he was influenced by his father.

In fact, Li Jia is also pitiful.

Qi Tong looked at Li Jia gently and comforted: "Jia'er, talk to your father." ”

Li Jia's eyes were full of anger at this time, and she didn't even give Qi Tong face, "What else is the eldest lady pretending, isn't it what you wrote to my father?" ”

They wrote to her father, and now they are pretending to be good old people?

If she had waited until the date of her marriage had been set before telling her father, wouldn't that have happened?

At that time, even if her father wants to beat her, he has to take into account the face of Zhennan Wangfu.

When Li Shang heard his daughter say this, he raised his hand and slapped him again.

This palm used more force than Fang Cai's palm, and the corners of Li Jia's mouth even oozed blood.

"Why did my father treat me like this, am I your daughter or not?" Li Jia raised her chin and asked.

Li Shang said with a cold face: "At the beginning, you had to come to the capital because you wanted to come and live with your cousins for a while, but I reluctantly agreed because you were young and had no mother." ”

Li Shang paused, and his anger obviously rose a little more, "I knew that you were so shameless, even if I broke your legs, I wouldn't let you be embarrassed when you came to the capital." ”

Li Jia sneered and said: "Father actually thinks so, my mother is gone, and even my father doesn't care about me anymore." But when did my father care about my feelings, you look at my cousin-in-law, but he was very good to the three cousins, how can he be like my father! ”

"Did your cousins do anything like you? Do you still have the face to say? ”

Li Jia covered her red and swollen face, tears gushed out, and she said with a crying voice: "It's my fault again, no matter what happens, my father always thinks it's my fault." If my mother were still around, she would have treated me the way my cousin did to my three cousins. My father never cared about me, and at this time he only knew how to maintain the so-called face! ”

Li Shang raised his hand again, but Li Jia was not afraid at all, raised his head and said, "Father just beat me to death, so that I can go to accompany my mother." ”

Qi Tong could only be anxious when he saw such a scene, and he really didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

She was worried that if she said something more, it would cause the two to quarrel more fiercely, but what should she do?

If only the master were here......

Qi Tong couldn't help but look forward to when the master would come back.

If she doesn't come back, she can't stand it.

As soon as the thought flashed, Bai Yitian walked quickly into the front yard.

A smile appeared on Qi Tong's face, the old man can be regarded as back.

Bai Yitian saw that Li Shang and Li Jia were tense, and hurriedly said: "My cousin-in-law came this time, and I missed the welcome, so it's better to have dinner first, so I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for my cousin-in-law." ”

Li Shang came just now, just for his daughter's business, so he came in a hurry, and he didn't have time to change his clothes.

Li Shang bluntly declined: "No need, I'm afraid I'm going to live up to my cousin-in-law's kindness, I came to pick up Jia'er back to Xinzhou this time." ”

Seeing that his daughter was stunned, Li Shang said angrily: "Don't pack up your things quickly, let's leave for Xinzhou early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Jia suddenly began to panic, her father was actually going to pick her up?

Although her father slapped her twice, she still had hope, thinking that her father would come forward for her marriage.

What about salt merchants? As long as her dowry is fully prepared, how can Princess Zhennan not agree.

But if her father insisted on taking her away......

In this way, I am afraid that there is really no hope for her and Sima Chengwen.

Therefore she must not go!

"No, I'm not leaving, my father doesn't have to persuade me." Li Jia's eyes were firm.

Li Shang's temper surged up again, and he scolded: "You think I'm here to persuade you? I'm here to take you back this shameless girl, so as not to continue to stay in the capital and be embarrassed! ”

At this time, Li Jia was completely open-minded, and asked his father, "What about after returning to Xinzhou?" Are you going to marry me to some street vendor at will? ”

Due to Bai Yitian's presence, Li Shang restrained his anger a little, "Your mother will arrange a suitable marriage for you, go and pack your things." ”

Li Jia's eyes were full of coldness, and said: "As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, I'm afraid that even if I go back, no one will really care about me from now on." ”
