Chapter 13: The Li Family's Family Affairs
Li Lingyu returned to the courtyard and talked to Liu for a while, and the maid Mingyue walked in with a smile and told Li Minyu about being beaten.
After hearing this, Liu couldn't help but look at Li Lingyu, and said helplessly: It must be you again, always playing tricks on Minyu, you are brothers!
The so-called knowing son Mo Ruomu, Li Lingyu is smart and smart, and she looks like a beautiful moon outside, but only Liu knows that in fact, her children have a lot of eyes, which makes her happy and sad.
I am happy that my child is clever and intelligent, but the sad thing is that she is too clever and sensible, if it is another child, with the protection of her mother, she naturally does not need so much scheming, as long as she is innocent, but because of her incompetence, let her child be so young to calculate others to protect herself.
Especially...... Thinking of Li Lingyu's identity, Liu's heart became even more worried.
It's all bad for mothers. Liu Shi said, and couldn't help but wipe away tears.
She gave birth to two daughters in a row, but did not have a son, although her husband treated her considerately, but her in-laws were quite complaining, and then her brother-in-law Zhao entered the door, and gave birth to her eldest grandson within two years, her pressure was even greater, and even Li Gengyu was treated coldly and whitely in the Li family because of her, and she was not as favored as the second brother Li Zhaoguang.
At that time, even Li Zhaoguang couldn't help but open his mouth to read a concubine for Li Geng, Liu and her husband were childhood sweethearts, the two were in deep love, and they were unwilling to share their husbands with others anyway, fortunately, she was pregnant at that time, and the doctor asserted that her baby was twins, she begged heaven and earth, and hoped that this child was a son, but she didn't expect that God would make people, but it was a pair of twin daughters!
At that time, Liu looked at a pair of daughters, silently shedding tears, and for herself, but also for Li Gengyu, Liu did the most daring thing in her life, she lied to the outside world that she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus.
With a son, Li Gengyu no longer needs to take concubines, and she also keeps her position, but as Li Lingyu grows up, she becomes more and more uneasy.
Li Lingyu is a woman after all! And seeing that she is so smart, if she is a daughter, she can find a good family business, instead of being treated as a man like now.
Li Lingyu sighed helplessly, her mother is good at everything, but she is too sentimental, especially sometimes when she cries when her emotions come up, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, she is afraid that her mother will shed tears.
Mother, I'm really fine, you didn't feel sorry for me. Li Lingyu persuaded and said, after a pause, she continued: By the way, mother, I have to go back to the study to read, you should rest early.
Li Lingyu had no choice but to take her mother's tears, so she had to hide, and when Liu heard it, she couldn't care about crying, and took her hand and said: You, why do you want to go to study again? Isn't there no need to go to Tongze Academy?
Unlike others who want their son Jackie Chan, Liu is worried that Li Lingyu is too talented, and now she can't end up pretending to be a man, if she continues to study, will she go to the imperial examination to be an official in the future? ! It's almost like a personal life!
Li Lingyu said with a natural face: I don't go to Tongze Academy to study, I have to continue to study, if I don't get ahead, who will support my sisters in the future?
Speaking of which, Li Lingyu has three sisters, the eldest sister Li Huaiwei, the second sister Li Huaiqing, and the third sister Li Huaibing.
The eldest sister Li Huaiwei is sixteen years old this year, and she has already found it, but because Li Zhaoguang was demoted to Dengzhou, everyone knows that he has offended the emperor, so no one dares to marry the Li family, and Li Huaiwei's family affairs have been delayed.
There are men of the right age in Dengzhou, but ordinary men, let alone Li Lingyu, can't even look down on the Liu family, how can she be willing to marry her daughter?
Li Huaiqing is 14 years old this year, and he will be in time next year, and he will start talking about family affairs.
The third sister Li Huaiqing is Li Lingyu's twin sister, twelve years old this year, at that time Liu was vacillating between Li Lingyu and Li Huaiqing, I don't know who to let pretend to be a man, fortunately, the child was still young at the time, and he couldn't see anything, but let him hide it.
It was only after the full moon, Liu saw that Li Lingyu was quiet and obedient at a young age, but Li Huaiqing was making a lot of noise, so he made up his mind.
Two daughters were born in one day, but because of her selfish thoughts, she harmed her daughter.
Liu still wanted to say something, but Li Lingyu had already stood up and walked out: Okay, mother, I'll go back to read first, and you can rest early, or you can go and see your sisters.
Li Lingyu ran away after speaking, and Liu looked at her back and sighed helplessly.
Li Lingyu returned to the study, but she didn't read the book, but thought about today's case, she wrote down all the clues she had today on paper, her eyes were as calm as water, not like a twelve-year-old child at all.
Hopefully there will be good news tomorrow. Li Lingyu muttered to herself.
Early the next morning, Li Lingyu went out.
A few people met in the Zuixian Building, Li Lingyu thought that she had gone out early enough, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, Jiang Hao and the others had arrived, and they were sitting in the private room drinking tea, and there was a strange atmosphere spreading in the private room, only Qi Xiao occasionally said a few words to Ye Zhan, but he couldn't hide the embarrassing atmosphere between each other.
As soon as Li Lingyu came, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally tense atmosphere disappeared at once.
Li Lingyu couldn't help but smile and said: I didn't expect that your relationship would be so good just after we met!
Qi Xiao glanced at Li Lingyu deeply, are you blind?
Ye Zhan's originally cold face was a little excited, and his eyes were shining: I have already sent someone to investigate yesterday, fortunately I am not dishonored! In the end, there was a look of pride, looking at Li Lingyu with a blank look, as if asking for praise.
Li Lingyu praised him without hesitation: Ye Gongzi's work is really reassuring!
Ye Zhan's cold face couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and then explained: Li Sanjin is a local, it didn't take much effort to inquire, his family is an ancestral tofu maker, married a few years ago, and gave birth to a daughter, but since last year, he has been addicted to gambling, and he doesn't make tofu anymore, and he mixes in this casino all day long, and soon his family's savings are all lost.
When Ye Zhan said this, his brows couldn't help frowning: According to me, these casinos are really harmful! The imperial court should have banned casinos.
Li Lingyu said indifferently: Even if there is no casino, these people will find other ways to gamble, this is their nature.
Jiang Hao nodded: Lingyu is right!
Li Lingyu looked at Ye Zhan and continued to ask: What about the other deceased?
It was the dead man she found.
Ye Zhan then continued, the second deceased as Li Lingyu guessed, is from Jingzhou, named Zhou Da, Chinese New Year's Eve is fifty-five years old this year, and Li Sanjin is different, Zhou Dake is an old gambler, Zhou Da's family was also a rich and noble family before, and later after he became addicted to gambling, he not only sold his property, but also angry his parents, this time he left Jingzhou, because he owed too much debt, he came out to avoid debts.
When Ye Zhan said this, his face was full of indignation: This Zhou Da is not a thing, I heard that in order to gamble money, he sold his wife, which is simply not as good as a beast!
Li Lingyu doesn't think it's strange, people who are addicted to gambling are nothing to sell their children and daughters.
The next thing is Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao is also angry, and he really got out of Qi Yuanshan.
