Li Xiaoqi got the letter and said hello to Su Zicheng and came back, Li Zongliang had not come back from the prison visit, Li Xiaoqi stood in the second gate and turned around a few times before slowly going to the lotus root courtyard.

Wei Shuisheng was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard reading a book, when he saw Li Xiaoqi coming in, he put the book in his hand on a few places, and watched her sit on the chair next to him with a smile. Li Xiaoqi looked at him obliquely, raised his feet and kicked the railing of the verandah, put the chair on top of the back with only the back two feet on the ground, slowly swayed back and forth, looked up at the blooming Ling Xiao in the courtyard, and said nothing.

"Didn't you say that the prince didn't plan to murder the master, it was still useful to keep it, the mastermind wouldn't kill it, and the Fan family was just deceived, not even an accomplice, so he wouldn't kill it, at most he would be exiled, alas, a widow and a widow, if he can't be exiled, if he can't let go, it doesn't matter." Wei Shuisheng persuaded softly, Li Xiaoqi exhaled heavily, and said in a low voice: "I think you know, don't talk about the Fan family, it's the Zhang family, if you annoy me, you will wipe out the feelings in front of me, I won't care, the Fan family, from now on I have nothing to do with it, if the eldest brother wants to take care of it, it is his business." Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at him, intercepted his words and said seriously: "I know that you and your eldest brother are both righteous words, rather people bear me, I don't live up to people, in fact, I don't live up to people, but I am not a saint, repay grievances with virtue, so how to repay virtue?" Don't persuade me, whoever persuades me again, annoys ••••••" Li Xiaoqi dragged his voice, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with tears and laughter, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he really didn't dare to persuade more, this Xiaoqi can say it and do it.

Li Xiaoqi lazily shook the chair back and forth, Haitang held a sugar lotus seed and sent it over, Li Xiaoqi reached out to take it, and did not let Wei Shuisheng, he threw it into his mouth one by one, Wei Shuisheng looked at her, and said thoughtfully: "Big brother is not easy." Li Xiaoqi squinted at him, Wei Shuisheng reached out and took the lotus seed bowl from Li Xiaoyi's arms, took a lotus seed and said with a smile while biting: "Ignorant women and children in the market, aren't they all like this?" What they can see, say it ugly, don't know if it's good, don't know if it's bad, just ignore it. Li Xiaoqi snatched the lotus seed bowl, glanced at Wei Shuisheng, and said lazily for a while: "Since I don't know if it's good, I don't know if it's bad, then everyone in the Fan family will make a living by themselves in the future, Lao Changtou sent it to Mr. Fan's side, it's no wonder that he is looking for a good person to marry, Mrs. Fan went to the Han Cicada Nunnery outside the city to copy the scriptures and cultivate her heart, and there is no need for a girl to wait in the nunnery, copy it slowly, when will it be copied out, what will go down the mountain." ”

"Alas, alas!" Wei Shuisheng sighed, Li Xiaoqi shook his chair and didn't speak, the two changed the topic, and slowly talked about the war on Huainan Road, and it didn't take long for Li Zongliang to come in with a haggard face, Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng stood up and took two steps, Li Zongliang hurriedly motioned for Wei Shuisheng to sit down, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoqi carefully, and said with a deep guilt in distress: "Xiaoqi is very thin!" Big brother•••••• I'm sorry for you. ”

"Big brother sit, how can I blame you for this." Li Xiaoqi took the tea in the begonia tray and handed it to Li Zongliang, looked at the haggard eldest brother, sighed and asked: "Big brother will rest for a day tomorrow, hurry back the day after tomorrow, take a good rest, it's time to run again, and then run around is between life and death, you must not overwork and lose your vigilance." Li Zongliang nodded, looking at Li Xiaoqi who was about to speak, Wei Shuisheng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Just now Xiaoqi was still talking about Mrs. Fan's affairs, what Xiaoqi meant, let her go to the Han Cicada Nunnery outside the city to copy the scriptures, I think it's okay, copying the scriptures, one is to meditate, and the other is to accumulate blessings, there are only benefits." ”

"Hancian is the most important Qing cultivation, life is hard, hard work, so that you will not lose your sense of proportion in the future." Li Xiaoqi said with a half-gloomy face, and said in a cold tone, Li Zongliang looked at Wei Shuisheng gratefully, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyi, and only after a while did he speak: "Xiaoqi, it is difficult for you ••••••, she is not sensible, and such a big disaster •••••• difficult for you." Li Xiaoqi picked up the cup, slowly sipped the tea, looked at Li Zongliang and sighed: "A good daughter-in-law, three generations of good children and grandchildren, if she can understand, it is the blessing of the Li family, if you go through such a thing, you are still stupid and can't understand, in the future, you can take a concubine." Wei Shuisheng's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearable, he lowered his head and dialed the lotus seed bowl, Li Zongliang tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaoqi nodded and agreed: "Okay!" ”

The three of them fell silent, and Haitang stepped forward quietly, bent her knees and smiled: "Girl, uncle, second master, the dinner is ready, where is it placed?" ”

"Just put it in Brother Shui's house, bring that bottle of wine, and wash the dust for the eldest brother." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly straightened up and ordered, as he spoke, turned to look at Li Zongliang and said with a smile: "Big brother is covered in stinky sweat, it smells bad and dies, hurry up and take a bath!" After washing and eating, Brother Shui can't drink, I'll accompany my eldest brother to have a few drinks! Li Zongliang smiled and went back to his yard to take a bath, and the three of them had a meal in Wei Shuisheng's house.

In the evening of the next day, Li Zongliang was dressed in a moon-white robe, standing in front of the car with his hands behind his back, waiting expressionlessly outside the prison of the Criminal Department, the cell door was slowly pushed open from the inside, Zhao helped Aunt Liu San, Aunt Liu San held her grandson Puwa in her hand and walked in front, Aunt Wan Liutang held her grandson with one hand, followed by her granddaughter with one hand, and the fourth sister-in-law pulled her son Mingdong to follow out.

A group of people saw Li Zongliang and hurriedly rushed over with joy on their faces, in a car next to them, Sister Zhang jumped out of the car, dusted off her clothes, and walked proudly in front of everyone, blocking in front of Li Zongliang, and did not look at everyone, only stared at Mrs. Fan and said: "The fifth master has ordered, from now on, the Li family and the Fan family, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and there will be no more half of it!" The blood on Mrs. Fan's face faded in an instant, and she looked at Li Zongliang in horror, Li Zongliang twisted his neck stiffly, as if he didn't hear Sister Zhang's words, Sister Zhang pursed her lips, raised her hand to take a purse from the little girl's hand, and said: "There are ten taels of silver in this purse, a purse for each family, from now on, each of them will live with their abilities, all of your Fan family are talents, and they will all be blessed and noble in the future, Jackie Chan and Phoenix!" As he spoke, he took the purse and handed it to the fourth sister-in-law closest to him, the fourth sister-in-law had a bloodless face, looked down at her son Mingdong, took the purse with shaking hands, looked at Sister Zhang and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, the child will study in the future••••••"

"Didn't you say it, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, anyway, your family is capable and talented." Sister Zhang took the purse again and handed it to Aunt Wan Liutang, Aunt Wan Liutang did not take the purse, pushed her little grandson, looked at Li Zongliang and begged: "Uncle, for the sake of the eldest lady, for the sake of the master, uncle, you can't ignore us, our late widow, the child still has to study, uncle!" Li Zongliang didn't seem to hear it, his back stiffened and slowly turned around, Sister Zhang looked at everyone one by one, sighed and asked: "In the past, you didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the children were all attached to the water clan to learn at that time, who was celebrating the New Year's holiday, or rushing to catch up with the fifth master's birthday, did you remember to thank the fifth master in the past?" What you eat and wear, all of them are the silver from the fifth master, attached to the water family, it is the favor that the fifth master begged for, and your uncle's money is saved by your eldest lady as a dowry, now I know that it is not easy for orphans and widows, what did you do in the first place? Don't beg, don't lose this person, this person has to have a conscience! Where, do you want to? If you don't want it, I'll take it back. ”

Sister Zhang held the purse and looked at Aunt Wan Liutang, Aunt Wan Liutang turned her head and looked at Aunt Fan beggingly, Mrs. Fan trembled all over, trembling and almost couldn't stand, Aunt Wan Liutang turned her head in despair, reached out and grabbed the purse, pulled her grandchildren one by one, turned around and left, the fourth sister-in-law dragged her son, took two steps back, lowered her head, and staggered behind Aunt Wan Liutang, Aunt Liu San took the purse without saying a word, took her daughter-in-law and grandson, and left with her.

Li Zongliang turned around slowly, motioned to Mrs. Fan to get into the car, Yu Yan hurriedly dragged Mrs. Fan to the car, Sister Zhang grabbed Yu Yan and said with a smile: "Your girl is going to the nunnery to copy the scriptures, you don't need to wait in the future, you go back with me, I picked a few good families for you, the fifth master said, let you look satisfied, go back and you pick a good pick, and the dowry, I also prepared it for you, kowtow to the girl, your master and servant are exhausted." Yuyan looked at Sister Zhang in a daze, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Li Zongliang, Li Zongliang nodded, and commanded in a low voice: "Go, live a good life in the future, and be safe." Yuyan tears welled up all of a sudden, turned his head to look at Mrs. Fan, who was stunned, Li Zongliang reached out to take Mrs. Fan, half-helped and half-dragged her to the car, Sister Zhang pulled Yuyan and motioned her to get into the car with her.

Yueting pulled her mother tightly, staring at Mrs. Fan and Li Zongliang tightly, and when she saw that the two of them got into the car and were about to leave, she pushed away her mother and rushed over and screamed: "Sister! Sister! Brother-in-law! You can't leave me alone! Brother-in-law! Second Aunt Yan didn't pull the Yueting Pavilion, and she didn't care about her, so she just rushed to Sister Zhang and shouted, "And my silver!" Haven't given it yet! "Sister Zhang pushed the jade inkstone into the car, turned around and looked at Yueting and Aunt Yan, snorted softly, didn't speak, and went straight to the car and left.

Yueting pulled Li Zongliang's arm tightly, crying out of breath, Li Zongliang hung his head, took out his arm hard, jumped in front of the car and sat down, turned his head to look at Yan Er's aunt and sighed: "I can't help you, go back, let's do it myself." The coachman shook the reins, the car rushed forward, Yan Er's aunt grabbed the Yueting who was about to pounce, Yueting broke free from her mother and threw herself forward, the car had already gone away, Yueting looked at it for a long time, turned around and hugged her mother and cried.
