"I'm fine!"
In the side room of the Provincial Governor's Residence, Wang Renbiao finally calmed down after coughing for a while. With Leng Yuyao's help, Wang Renbiao propped himself up and leaned against the bed. He turned to Li Zexuan and bitterly smiled. "Little Xuan, I've let you see a joke. I brought this upon myself, and I shouldn't have told Yao`er to disturb your state of mind!"
Li Zexuan frowned. "We're brothers, and there are some things that we should share together! Indeed, I can't interfere in the matters of the Wang Clan, but I, Li Zexuan, can't watch my brother suffer. If Renbiao truly likes that Li Jingchu, then courageously pursue her! Let's not worry about the consequences for now. Even if your father and Princess Tong 'an don't agree to this marriage, we'll think of another way! The worst outcome is that you'll be expelled from the Wang Clan, but do you care about that? "
Li Zexuan vaguely remembered that Wang Renbiao's son was called Wang Fangyi, a famous general of the Great Tang during the Gaozong era. His mother's surname seemed to be Li, and she might be the Li Jingchu that Leng Yuyao spoke of!
Bringing this pair of fated people together was not only to follow the trend of history, but also to help Wang Renbiao fulfill his wish. If Wang Renbiao continued in this state, he might not be able to live for long. This was definitely not an exaggeration. When he took Wang Renbiao's pulse earlier, he could feel that the latter's pulse was weak, and there was an extremely dense gloomy aura in his body. Furthermore, Wang Renbiao also died at an early age, so Li Zexuan couldn't help but be cautious!
At this moment, as long as he could resolve the knot in Wang Renbiao's heart, Li Zexuan was willing to do anything, let alone persuading him to fall out with Wang Yu and Princess Tong 'an! This was because he felt that Wang Renbiao was a good person, and he valued this friendship!
Leng Yuyao, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but stiffen. What did he mean by 'the worst outcome is that he'll be expelled from the Wang Clan'? When did the title of the eldest son of the Wang Clan become so worthless? Furthermore, who would persuade someone to betray the clan? Was he trying to persuade him?
Just as she was about to say something, Wang Renbiao, who was lying on the bed, said, "Of course I don't care about these empty titles! The title of the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan may mean glory and wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, but for me, it's more of a burden. Although ordinary people live in poverty, they can find a wife who can share weal and woe with them for the rest of their lives. But I don't even have the right to pursue the person I like. I'd rather not be the eldest son of the Wang family! "
Li Zexuan nodded approvingly and said, "Since you don't care about these false reputations, then what's there to worry about? Even if you leave the Wang Clan, with your talent and knowledge, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a living? Moreover, even if you leave the Wang Clan, you still have me as your brother. How can I just stand by and watch you suffer? Therefore, use all your strength to pursue the person you think is worth pursuing. If you are overcautious, you will only get nothing! Don't regret it when you are old. It will be too late by then! "
This guy's encouraging words greatly moved Wang Renbiao. He had always been very conflicted. He liked a person, but he didn't dare to use all his strength to pursue her because he was worried that his family would oppose him. Until now, he hadn't pursued his love, and his body had already collapsed!
After Li Zexuan's words, Wang Renbiao suddenly felt enlightened. Indeed, if he was overcautious, it was very likely that he wouldn't get anything. It was better to let go of all the burdens and unscrupulously fall in love. At that time, even if he lost his identity as the young master of an aristocratic family, it would be worth it!
"Xiaoxuan, you are the first person to support me. It is the fortune of my life to have a friend like you!"
Wang Renbiao looked at Li Zexuan and said seriously.
From this sentence, Li Zexuan could also tell that Wang Renbiao had made a decision in his heart. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha! You and I are brothers. Don't say such mushy words! A real man should have no regrets in his life. As your brother, I hope that you can pull yourself together as soon as possible and pursue the woman you like! "
Leng Yuyao's face suddenly darkened. She bowed and said, "Young Master, you just woke up from a serious illness. You must be hungry. I will go to the kitchen and get someone to cook some porridge for you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Renbiao to respond, Leng Yuyao turned and left the room. Her back view was very bleak.
Li Zexuan looked at Leng Yuyao with a complicated gaze. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He only cared about comforting Wang Renbiao and neglected Leng Yuyao's feelings. Although Leng Yuyao once said that she didn't have any extravagant hopes of becoming Wang Renbiao's woman, this kind of behavior in front of her, encouraging Wang Renbiao to pursue another woman would more or less hurt her ~!
Sigh! It's also troublesome to have too many women. Fortunately, I only have one wife!
At the end of his thoughts, Li Zexuan couldn't help but rejoice.
"Miss Leng is also a good woman!"
Seeing Wang Renbiao looking at Leng Yuyao's back view with a complicated gaze, Li Zexuan, who came back to his senses, suddenly said meaningfully.
Wang Renbiao was startled. He then smiled bitterly and said, "Little Xuan, don't make fun of me. I only treat Yao 'er as a younger sister. There are no feelings between us!"
"Enough! I don't care about your matters. As a brother, I only hope that you can untie the knot in your heart as soon as possible and pursue your own happiness! This way, we can continue to drink and chat merrily in the future! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
Wang Renbiao nodded, but then frowned again. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh! But Jingchu has always been neither close nor distant to me. I really don't know where to start. Little Xuan, you are quite experienced in this aspect. Can you teach this brother? "
Li Zexuan heard this and his forehead was full of black lines. What do you mean by I am quite experienced in this aspect? I only have one wife, okay? Do you have to make me sound like a saint of love? But compared to Wang Renbiao, who was a noob in the field of love, he did have a little more experience in this aspect!
"Renbiao, have you ever thought about why Miss Li has been keeping a distance from you? Could it be that she feels that she is of low birth and not worthy of you? "
After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan asked.
Wang Renbiao shook his head without thinking and said, "No! Although Jingchu is a woman, she is also a proud person. She has never lowered her voice just because I am the eldest young master of the Wang Family and the Qizhou Provincial Governor. She has her own pride and is definitely not someone who belittles herself ~! "
Li Zexuan was puzzled and asked, "Then why is she still unwilling to accept you? Could it be that she has no feelings for you at all? "
Wang Renbiao hesitated for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case! In the process of interacting with her, I can feel that she definitely has some feelings for me. But I feel that she might have some misgivings in her heart, so she has been keeping a distance from me ~! "
"Misgivings? What misgivings could it be? "
Li Zexuan rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Just like that, the two big men were not sleeping in the middle of the night, but were thinking about the thoughts of a little woman together. He did not know if Li Jingchu should feel honored or unlucky if she knew about it.
"Why don't I go meet that Li Jingchu and help you sound her out? If you don't mind. "
After a long silence, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Renbiao and said.
Wang Renbiao nodded and said, "Xiao Xuan, it would be best if you could help her out. Why would I mind?"
Li Zexuan laughed bitterly in his heart. He secretly wondered why he was acting like a matchmaker. He said, "That's good! It should take a few more days for the Sky Pheasant Brigade to clear out the locusts in Qizhou. Tomorrow, I will go to the Li Family to meet Li Jingchu! "
Wang Renbiao solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Xuan, I can't thank you enough. I, Wang Renbiao, will remember this kindness!"
Li Zexuan did not mind and said, "Let's not talk about this first. After you get married, just treat me to a cup of wine!"
Wang Renbiao smiled. He suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh, right, Xiao Xuan! There's something I forgot to tell you. When I heard that your Sky Pheasant Brigade was coming to Qizhou, I ordered the county magistrates to start collecting chickens from the people. Now, 120,000 chickens from the counties have gathered in the city, and all of them have been marked and registered. Xiao Xuan, you can add them to the Sky Pheasant Brigade tomorrow! "
Li Zexuan's eyes lit up and said happily, "120,000? That's great! With these 120,000 chickens, the Sky Pheasant Brigade's scale will increase to 620,000. It has basically reached the limit of the children's control ability! "
Wang Renbiao nodded and said, "Yes! As long as it can help you, Xiao Xuan! "
Li Zexuan thanked him and then left.
…
"You jinx, why did you come back again? Do you want to kill everyone in your family before you are satisfied? "
In a luxurious mansion in the west of Yong County, a woman in embroidered clothes and a group of servants blocked the gate of the mansion and said fiercely to a woman in white clothes.
"This is my home. Why can't I go back?"
The plain-clothed woman, however, remained fearless as she retorted with a cold expression.
"Eh? You damn girl, how dare you talk back? If it weren't for you jinx, how could Master be harmed by that corrupt official Zhang Liang? How can you still have the face to step into this house? "
The woman in embroidered clothes said with a sharp voice.
"My father? Hmph! You still have the face to mention my father? "
The plain-clothed woman's expression turned cold, and the temperature around her dropped to freezing point. She said coldly, "Back then, before my father's body was even cold and he was buried, some people were already in a hurry to divide up the family property. They replaced the shopkeeper and accountant of the carriage shop with their own family members. Liu Yuerong, do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience in front of my father's memorial tablet? "
"You … you … you … rebelled, rebelled. You wild girl, you're really rebelling. No matter what, I'm still your concubine. How dare you call me by my name? You're really a wild girl who didn't have a mother to teach you!"
The woman in embroidered clothes pointed at the woman in white clothes with trembling hands and feet, and her voice became sharp.
The woman in plain clothes had a cold glint in her eyes. She coldly stared at the woman. If looks could kill, then the woman would have been cut into a thousand pieces. "If my mother was still alive, how could a vicious woman like you be so arrogant? I came back today just to burn incense for my father. I don't want to argue with you! "
"Burn incense? Don't even think about it! Men! Get this jinx out of here! "
The woman in embroidered clothes glared and ordered the servants around her.
"Let me see who dares!"
The woman in white clothes shouted, "My father treated all of you well when he was alive. You all know very well whether the Li family is thriving or declining under this woman's hands! Normally, I can't be bothered to argue with this woman. Today, I, Li Jingchu, just want to burn incense for my father. If any of you dare to stop me, my father's spirit in heaven will not forgive you! "
As soon as she said that, the servants around the madam looked at each other and hesitated.
That's right, this woman was Li Jingchu, whom Wang Renbiao had been thinking about. Who else could the woman be but Li Jingchu's second concubine?
"You … you guys, quickly stop this jinx! Otherwise, don't even think about getting your salary this month! "
When the woman saw that the servants in the residence didn't listen to her orders, she almost fainted from anger. She quickly used her ultimate move.
"This …"
The servants looked at each other, but still, no one dared to stop Li Jingchu. The main reason was that Li Xingyun had treated his servants well when he was alive. Moreover, what Li Jingchu said just now made sense. The Li family was deteriorating day by day under Liu Yuerong's management. At this rate, Li Xingyun's family business would be squandered away by Liu Yuerong sooner or later. As servants, they would definitely be dismissed by then. Rather than that, they might as well form a good relationship with Li Jingchu and also comfort Li Xingyun's spirit in heaven!
"Hmph! Liu Yuerong, let me give you a piece of advice. Disasters can be forgiven, but disasters brought on by oneself are the hardest to bear! "
Li Jingchu looked at Liu Yuerong coldly, then snorted and walked into the Li residence.
"Heh! She's really a woman with character ~! "
Opposite the Li residence, Li Zexuan sat beside a tea stall and looked at Li Jingchu's back as he muttered to himself.
He had come to the Li Residence early in the morning to wait. Originally, he just wanted to try his luck. He didn't expect to actually meet Li Jingchu. The courage and quick-wittedness that Li Jingchu displayed during their first meeting had indeed exceeded Li Zexuan's expectations. This kind of woman might not be considered much in the modern era. There were plenty of career women who were more capable than her. However, in the ancient era, women who could be so quick-witted and brave were definitely rare!
No wonder Wang Renbiao saw Li Jingchu in a different light!
"Fighting alone against the evil woman and her servants, Miss Li is really brave!"
Half an hour later, Li Jingchu left the Li residence. Not long after she left, she heard a man's praise behind her.
Li Jingchu quickly turned around and saw a rather handsome man looking at her with a smile on his face. Li Jingchu's heart instantly became vigilant. "Who are you? How do you know my surname is Li? "
"Hehe! Miss Li, can we talk in private? Oh, don't worry, I won't harm you. Let's meet at the tea stall in front! "
