Lin Shengyuan and his wife Qiao looked at each other and fell silent.
To be honest, the two of them had long been fed up with the mess in the house. If it weren't for the sake of their old father, Marquis Nanning, they might not have been able to hold on until now, and they would have proposed to separate their families long ago.
Last time something happened to the second room, Lin Yi became a useless person. This time, the third room got into trouble again, and Mrs. Lin lost her life.
The couple had really had enough.
If it's just a family separation, the title is really a problem.
Because of some events that year, Lin Shengyuan avoided the title, and the two dissatisfied younger brothers kept staring at him, and he was unwilling to say another word to them. But the old father kept holding on and insisted on giving the title to Dafang.
It is said that this is the only title left in the Lin family. If it is given to the two unsatisfactory second and third bedrooms, the Lin family will be completely hopeless.
Lin Shengyuan was also in a dilemma.
Now Wei Baozhu, a teenage girl, asked for money from the Wei family to pay off gambling debts and redeem people from the Lin family in order to prevent the Lin family from being separated. It also made Lin Shengyuan reflect on whether he was too selfish.
There was silence in the room for a long time.
Wei Baozhu did not press him and quietly waited for Lin Shengyuan to make a decision.
Finally, Mrs. Qiao said, "It's not impossible not to separate the families, and the title can also be considered, but we have to tell the second and third bedrooms all the ugly things in advance, and if any of them disagree, the matter will be dropped."
Before Lin Shengyuan expressed his position, Wei Baozhu said: "My eldest aunt is right. Among my second and third uncles, if anyone objects to my eldest uncle being the head of the family, let them fend for themselves from now on, and I don't have to worry about them anymore! I Wei Baozhu only recognizes his uncle, and wherever his uncle is, that is the Lin family."...
Lin Shengyuan looked at Wei Baozhu in surprise, then at Qiao, and finally sighed: "Baozhu, get up."
A child can talk about this, what else can they care about.
Wei Baozhu wiped her tears and said, "Thank you uncle. My mother is gone and my mother is my eldest uncle. From now on, I will treat my uncle and aunt as filial parents."
The words were so sad that even Qiao's heart softened.
"Good boy, don't cry. If you have any grievances in the Wei family from now on, come to your uncle. If I can help you, my aunt will never refuse."
A smile broke out on Wei Baozhu's face: "Yes."
*****
Li Qingyi had dinner and asked the girls to turn off the lights, but he had no intention of sleeping.
Chang Lan helped her put on the night clothes he had prepared in advance and said, "Girl, it's enough for me to go with Chang Ning. You might as well stay in the house and wait for news."
Li Qingyi said: "It's just a few words from hearsay. How can you just go out and save people in a fit of enthusiasm? You have to really see what is going on. If it is true as they said, the Cui family did such an unscrupulous thing and only rescued people." Jiang Shun is useless, maybe if we rescue him, he will be found by the Cui family and silenced."
"That girl means that you want to be a good person and go to the end to find justice for the Jiang family?"
Li Qingyi sighed, "There are so many disasters at this time, and I am not a living Bodhisattva, so I can't meddle in so many other things. But since Brother Yuan wants to take care of this matter this time, and I agreed to those two fools, It’s inevitable that you have to be more attentive.”
Changlan smiled: "After all, the girl just loves her brother."
Li Qingyi smiled helplessly: "He is still so young, and I don't want him to be disappointed with the world early."
Chang Lan was startled when he heard this, "You are only a teenager, could it be that Cheng Cheng is already disappointed with the world?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said nothing. Before leaving, he called Islam over and said, "If anything happens to the princess and she comes to me, just tell me that Lord Qin has something to do with me. I'm in the Qin Mansion, you know?"
Woad agreed again and again.
Changlan was speechless, the girl actually used the adults as a shield.
The three masters and servants sneaked to the corner door of the backyard of Wei Mansion. Chang Ning opened the lock in a few clicks and left Wei Mansion quietly.
The alleys were not completely dark. The lanterns in front of the houses were all on, but they could only illuminate a small area.
The three of them walked all the way to Jiangshun quilt
He went to the locked place, and when he was almost there, several dark figures suddenly appeared deep in the alley.
Li Qingyi's heart trembled. The fourth prince couldn't be so crazy and wanted to kill her with such brutal means regardless of the consequences?
But the next moment, Li Qingyi denied this speculation.
Although they were also wearing night clothes, those few were obviously not experts.
The man in black at the head waved his arms and whispered: "Up!"
When the group saw the leader's gesture, they immediately rushed towards Li Qingyi's master and servant without any hesitation.
Li Qingyi folded his arms and did not move. Chang Lan stood by her side, while Chang Ning rolled his eyes and took a step forward.
The other party didn't expect that the girls in their family would act like this when faced with this situation. They took a breath and became a little confused.
Chang Ning secretly laughed in his heart, and took advantage of the opportunity to deviate and suddenly turned to one side, just in time to get out of the circle surrounded by the man in black.
The people in black were fooled by her, their expressions changed, and they immediately turned around and rushed back towards her fiercely. Chang Ning glanced at them and immediately identified the weakest two among them. He punched quickly and hit the target with one blow.
Immediately afterwards, she raised her foot without hesitation to block the attack of one person, kicked him out and knocked down the two people who were attacking from behind.
Chang Ning sneered. Although there were many people on the other side, it was a pity that there were no rules. She was a little worried when she saw the number of people on the other side. But now that they were fighting, she felt that these people were not really rigorously trained dead soldiers. At most, they were high-ranking people. The guard of a wealthy family.
Naturally, these people cannot be sent by the Fourth Prince.
Not far away, a delicate and angry voice came: "You guys are a bunch of trash!"
Li Qingyi took a closer look, Zhen Zhen?
How could she set up an ambush here just to wait for her to come?
Did she know that she was going to the Cui family to save Jiang Shuisheng?
It seems that the words came from the mouth of that idiot Chen Zheng!
But why would she take action against herself?
Chang Ning glanced at where Zhen Zhen was standing and threw a knocked-out man in black at her feet.
Zhen Zhen was shocked. She had never thought that Li Qingyi's maid was actually good at kung fu. Although she was holding a long whip tightly in her hand, she did not dare to take action.
Li Qingyi glanced at her in confusion, "You are so brave to murder the family members of the imperial officials."
"I...I didn't mean to kill you! I just wanted to beat you up!"
Li Qingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to tease her, so he walked towards her and asked, "Did I offend Miss Zhen in some way?"
All the people brought by Zhen Zhen have been put into unconsciousness.
She retreated subconsciously, "Li Qingyi, don't mess around. I am the legitimate daughter of the Zhen family, and my grandfather was the imperial master. Do you dare to kill me?"
"Really?" Li Qingyi took out a dagger from his sleeve, "Do you really think I dare not?"
"Li Qingyi, if you kill me, no one in the Li family will survive!"
Li Qingyi stepped closer, "Oh? What if I don't kill you, but scratch your face?"
Zhen Zhen's eyes widened as she watched the dagger in Li Qingyi's hand gradually approaching. Her usual arrogant attitude suddenly collapsed: "You're crazy!"
"You're screaming to kill me, why are you crazy just because I want to leave some traces on you?" Li Qingyi couldn't help laughing when he saw the embarrassment and fear in Zhen Zhen's expression.
"you……"
Zhen Zhen's face turned green and white, fearing that if she moved, the blade would scratch her face.
"Are you afraid?" Li Qingyi moved the dagger slightly, and the slender blade shone with a cold light, reflected in her playful pupils. "Now that you know you're afraid, if I ask a question and you answer it honestly and clearly, I'll let you go."
"You have to keep your word!"
Zhen Zhen's eyelashes kept trembling, and she glanced at the knife on her face out of the corner of her eye. When Li Qingyi nodded, she asked, "You...what do you want to know?"
"Why are you blocking me here?"
"I saw you at the tea shop today, Hidden
I overheard you talking about the Cui family. After my cousin returned home, I found out your plan from him, so I led someone to ambush you here. "
"Ambush me?" Li Qingyi smiled softly and asked, "Why do you want to ambush me? How did I offend Miss Zhen?"
Zhen Zhen bit her lower lip and said aggrievedly: "My cousin has taken a liking to you! He said ten sentences in total, and five of them were all about praising you!"
Li Qingyi was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help bursting into laughter, "Miss Zhen is really naive and ignorant of the world. Okay, you should go home quickly. It's not safe to be outside so late."
Seeing her put away the dagger, Zhen Zhen covered her face, and after being depressed for a long time, she said, "You injured so many of my guards, so we are even."
Li Qingyi smiled and said noncommittally, "I'm leaving. Miss Zhen should go back quickly..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt the sound of golden music coming with the strong wind beside her. She hugged Zhen Zhen suddenly and rolled on the spot. Chang Lan flew up at the same time, only to hear a ding sound. The flying knife pierced into the gap in the wall.
Several people held their breath and were on guard, but there was no movement anywhere.
Zhen Zhen got up from the ground, her face turned pale with fright, and she stared blankly at the two hidden weapons embedded in the wall bricks, "Poisonous?"
There was a faint blue light shining on the hidden weapon, which was obviously poisonous.
Li Qingyi nodded: "The other party missed a single hit and left quickly, probably because he was afraid of revealing his identity."
Zhen Zhen's eyes widened, "Are you here to kill you, or are you here to kill me?"
Li Qingyi was startled. She didn't think about the other party at first. She naturally thought that someone was trying to deal with her, but Zhen Zhen's words...
"Has Miss Zhen ever been assassinated?"
Zhen Zhen nodded with a pale face. "That was a long time ago..."
"Then you still dare to go out in the middle of the night? How did you come out without telling your family?"
"My cousin thought I had gone home, and my family thought I was at my cousin's house..."
Li Qingyi was helpless, this girl was really big-hearted, "Okay, go back quickly."
When Zhen Zhen saw Li Qingyi turning to leave, she quickly stopped her. Her usually arrogant and unreasonable expression turned a little awkward at the moment: "Thank you for saving me... I made trouble for you, but you can still ignore the past..."
Li Qingyi waved his hand and said it didn't matter, but Zhen Zhen stopped her again: "...Um, can you send me back...I, I'm afraid..."
