Chapter 172: What happened back then
Xiao Niannian almost didn't laugh out loud when she saw Li Shoude being so frightened that she didn't let the laughter run out.
This thunder can be regarded as a warning she gave to Li Shoude.
If this person can keep his promise and be a good person in the future, she can also consider a lighter punishment.
If you dare to do anything bad again, don't blame her for being hacked when the time comes.
Li Shoude withdrew his hand in fear and looked at the sky with palpitations.
The sky was clear, there was not even a trace of clouds, and there was a thunderclap for no reason, which was also too weird.
Could it be that it was really because he swore to the sky that he caused that thunder?
No, no, no, Li Shoude shook his head and comforted himself in his heart.
There are no ghosts or gods in this world, and if it were really useful, he would have died many times a long time ago.
Li Rulan was also startled by the thunder, but she didn't do anything wrong, she wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, although she felt that this clear sky thunder was a bit strange, but she didn't take it to heart.
When Lei Sheng remembered, she subconsciously pulled Xiao Niannian into her arms, and only let go of Xiao Niannian after a while.
Li Shoude looked at the sky, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he lowered his head and said to Li Rulan: "Rulan, you see that I swear that it will cause thunder, there will definitely be no fake, you can help me rescue Yulian." ”
"Since that's the case, then I promised my brother to go to the county magistrate to intercede with Yulian, but it's just ......"
Li Shoude hurriedly said: "Just what? ”
Li Rulan's words changed, "It's just that the county magistrate has already issued a verdict in Yulian's case, brother, you also know that our county magistrate cares about his own reputation very much, and it is not easy to change the verdict easily." But I will do my best to intercede with the county magistrate, and even if I can't release Yulian, I will let him open the net so that you can visit her in prison. Yulian is a woman after all, and it must be uncomfortable to stay alone in that kind of dark and cold place. ”
Seeing that Li Rulan did not pack the ticket, Li Shoude's expression was a little disappointed, and at the same time, he also had some resentment in his heart.
Li Rulan knew that Yulian was his daughter, and deliberately went against Yulian, so that the county magistrate could sentence such a heavy punishment.
But on the surface, he didn't dare to show dissatisfaction with Li Rulan, after all, there were more important things for Li Rulan to do.
"Okay, it's just Rulan, don't forget, you must say a few more kind words to the county magistrate, I believe that as long as you open your mouth, Yulian will definitely be able to come out."
"Well, I won't forget."
The two said as they walked all the way, and not far in front of them was the Yishan Hall where Li Chengren was located.
"That's right!" Li Rulan suddenly paused and looked at Li Shoude, "Rulan has something she wants to ask her brother." ”
Li Shoude didn't know why, so he also stopped, "Rulan, just ask if you have anything." ”
"I don't know brother, but do you remember Qingbo?"
Li Rulan stared at Li Shoude's eyes tightly, refusing to let go of any of his expressions.
Sure enough, when he heard the word Qingbo, Li Shoude's eyes were a little flustered.
But he still forced himself to calm down and said: "Okay, Rulan, what are you doing with Qingbo?" ”
"That's right." Li Rulan explained, "When I was still in the house before, in addition to my father, it was Qingbo who took the most care of me. I saw my father last time I came back, but I didn't see Qingbo, does my brother know where Qingbo went? Qingbo, is he okay now? ”
"He's ......" Li Shoude's eyes rolled, and he thought for a long time before he said, "Qingbo, he seems to have moved to Kyoto with a large family, and it is said that he has a distant relative who works on an errand under a big official, so he went to his relative." ”
"At that time, I persuaded him to stay, but we are a small family, where is there a big official in the family, no matter how much I persuade him, he refused to stay, and finally left."
"That's a shame." Li Rulan lowered her eyelashes, blocking the look under her eyes.
Li Shoude didn't hear the meaning of Li Rulan's words, and followed Ying He and said: "It's a pity, after all, he has been a bad person in our house for decades, and it's too ruthless and unrighteous to leave." ”
Li Rulan smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's too ruthless and unjust." ”
The reason why she asked about Qingbo's whereabouts was to investigate what happened back then.
Twelve years ago, on that day, she was taking a nap in her boudoir.
A man with a naked upper body suddenly broke into her room and said that he would go with her to Yunyu.
While she was struggling, Li Shoude's mother, Lin, appeared at the door of her room with Li Ruyan and Zhang, as well as several other wives.
At that time, her clothes were a little messy, and when the man saw the Lin family, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, pushing all this on her, saying that she asked him to come, and let the Li family fulfill their pair of underground mandarin ducks.
Although Li Rulan desperately denied it, crying that it was not like this, Lin still couldn't help but say that she had an affair with the man.
and called the family in front of her, and killed the man who broke into her boudoir alive.
The man's blood splattered all over her yard, and the orchids were stained red with blood.
Seeing a person die in front of him with his own eyes is too impactful.
Li Rulan, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, had never seen such a bloody scene, and she was almost stupefied.
For a long time after that, she had nightmares about it.
It wasn't until she married Shen Zhengwen later that she slowly forgot about those things.
And at that time, after hearing that the Lin family was going to kick her out of the house, she cried and woke up from her fright, and wanted to go to see her father alive and dead, wanting to defend herself.
She also thought that the Lin family would stop her no matter what, but who knew that the Lin family smiled weirdly and really let her go.
Lin said that her father was in the study, so she ran to the study.
When she saw her father's butler Qingbo at the door of the study, she thought that her father was really in the study, so she begged her father to come out to see her outside the study.
But in the end, she was dragged away and thrown out of the door, and her father didn't come out to see her, and he didn't even want to say a word to her.
Now that I think about it, my father must not have been in the study at the time.
It's just that Li Rulan never thought that the Lin family would have such a heavenly ability, and even their father's butler Qingbo could buy it.
