"I was abandoned on the day of my wedding. I've waited for twenty years, and now I'm still willing to be that bastard's concubine?" Liu Ruyi asked angrily.
Li Yi nodded helplessly.
"He even betrayed such an infatuated woman. Who is that bastard, and where is he now?" Second Miss Liu's eyes were wide open and her eyebrows were vertical. One of her hands was already on the hilt of her sword. She looked like she was going to draw her sword in anger in the next moment and take the life of that fickle lover and heartless man.
If she was born in the future, she would definitely be the most radical fighter for women's rights.
"He's dead. That 'bastard' has been dead for more than ten years." Li Yi looked at her and said slowly, "Come to think of it, you should call that bastard 'uncle'."
"Why?" Liu Ruyi turned around and looked at him.
"Because he's my father."
"— —"
Miss.Liu clenched her fists tightly, and a frustrated expression appeared on her pretty face. She finally understood how Li Yi felt just now. After a long time, she exhaled and said angrily, "Motherf * cker!"
"Liu Ruyi." Li Yi turned around and looked at her. "You said something vulgar just now."
"If you can say it, why can't I?" Miss.Liu said nonchalantly.
"But you're a woman."
"So what if I'm a woman? Do you look down on women?"
"A woman who says vulgar words can't get married. You have to get married, I don't want to support you for the rest of your life."
Miss.Liu's chest was heaving up and down, and her eyes were squinting. Even her breathing was getting faster.
After a while, her breathing became steady, and she cracked her knuckles. She said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't tested your martial arts cultivation for a long time."
…
…
A gust of wind and rain …
The grass in the courtyard was very soft, and because it was cleaned every day, it was unusually clean. It was quite comfortable to lie on, but the ground was a little cold — and a little painful.
Li Yi rubbed his chest and buttocks. These were the two areas that Liu Ruyi had focused on. From the looks of it, she had indeed neglected her martial arts training. In the past, she could last a few more seconds without using her hands.
After venting her anger, Second Miss Liu flew over the wall. Li Yi lay on the grass and looked at the moon. He took out the handkerchief from his pocket. When he thought about the look in the woman's eyes when he left, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
As the legitimate daughter of a duke, she was willing to be a concubine so that she could be with the person she loved. She had persevered for twenty years and suffered indifference and criticism, but in the end, all she got was the news that the other party was no longer in this world.
For someone who was infatuated with love, after experiencing such a thing, they would probably go crazy.
If she could not get over the shock of this matter, the tragic ending was almost certain.
She shook her head helplessly, and thought to herself, "Damn it, what kind of sin did I commit?
The capital was indeed too complicated. I'd better go back to Qing 'an Prefecture. Xiao Huan, Ruyi, wait for me … "
…
…
She didn't sleep well that night. She woke up early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes. She washed her face with cold water in a daze and woke up.
As usual, she had to greet the Old Mistress in the morning. Ruyi had passed before her, and now she was enjoying the treatment of a young mistress in the Li Mansion. Even Li Yi couldn't compare to her.
"When you go out, take some money from the accountant's office. All these years, the Li family owes the He family a lot." The Old Mistress sighed and said when Li Yi was about to leave.
Li Yi paused and smiled. "Thank you, Grandmother, but there's no need. I have enough money here."
When he left, Ruyi brought him a lot of money. Everything in the Li family was used, and there wasn't much to spend outside. Li Yi didn't lack money.
"I'll have someone send the money to you. This is what the Li family owes them." The Old Mistress shook her head and said with a complicated expression, "It's reasonable for you to do this. The capital isn't a good place for them. It's better for them to leave as soon as possible. The money is enough for them to live without worrying about food and clothing."
Her son, who was supposed to inherit the Li family and decide the rise and fall of the Li family, refused the marriage with the House of Duke and eloped with an ordinary woman. This caused the family to lose face. The Old Mistress also had resentment in her heart. However, twenty years had passed and both of them had passed away. The Old Mistress didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
Li Yi didn't want to trouble the Li family with this matter. He bowed his head and left.
In the backyard, Li Mingze's wife, Madam Fang, looked at him with dissatisfaction and asked, "Do you know that he took all the He family members away?"
Li Mingze was tidying up his official robes. When he heard this, he said, "This is what he should do."
"If it wasn't for the He family, the Li family wouldn't be like this. They owe us, we don't owe them anything. The Old Mistress wants to take a thousand silver from the accountant's office to give them. What right do they have?" Madam Fang said angrily.
"You don't need to care about this matter anymore." Li Mingze tidied up his official robes, glanced at Madam Fang, and strode out.
Looking at his departing figure, Madam Fang's eyes flashed with resentment. She muttered, "I don't care. If I don't care, your position as the head of the family will be taken by someone else!"
"Leaving the Li family is one thing, but why did you come back? Li Minghan is short-sighted and unscrupulous. His son isn't any better. He will only cause the Li family to decline even earlier. I'm doing this for the Li family, for you …" Madam Fang looked out the door and said coldly, "The Old Mistress has become muddle-headed. There's still me. I definitely won't let the Li family be destroyed by an outsider!"
…
…
"Is the Third Young Lady inside?" In the Chen family, a middle-aged man asked the servant girl at the door.
"Yes, the Third Young Lady is inside," the fifteen or sixteen year old girl said with a trembling voice, as if she was about to cry.
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Chong glanced suspiciously at the servant girl, then pushed open the door and walked in.
Behind the curtain, an exquisite woman sat by the bed. A smile appeared on Chen Chong's face as he said, "Miaoyu, the plum blossoms on Mount Han are just in time. Let the servant girls accompany you to take a look. Don't you like worshipping Bodhisattva the most? While you're at it, you can also go to the Cold Mountain Temple to take a look.
"Worshipping Bodhisattva, even if it's worshipping Bodhisattva, what's the use … it's all fake, it's all fake …" the woman's voice was hoarse as she muttered.
"If you don't want to worship, then don't. Today's weather is very good, so it's not bad to take a look at the plum blossoms." There were not many taboos between siblings. When Chen Chong lifted the curtain and gazed in, his expression suddenly changed.
It had only been half a day, but the woman's waterfall-like black hair was already grizzled and her face haggard, as if she had instantly aged ten-some years.
"Miaoyu, what's wrong? How did it become like this? "Chen Chong was shocked. Quickly walking over, he grabbed her arm and asked.
"Dead, dead, he's dead …" the woman's eyes were lifeless as she muttered to herself.
"Who's dead?" Chen Chong immediately asked.
"Ming Han, Ming Han's dead. How could Ming Han die? She still hasn't married me …"
… …
… …
Seeing the haggard appearance of his little sister, who had once been doted on by everyone, Chen Chong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Striding out, he grabbed the arm of the young woman outside the door and coldly said, "Speak, just what happened!"
The young woman shuddered and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"The Li family, my Chen family and you — will not rest until one of us is dead!"
After a moment, an incomparably cold voice rang out, seeming to come from the underworld. All the servants of the Chen clan in the courtyard couldn't help but shiver.
