"Master! Little Marquis!"
The sound of messy footsteps came from a distance. It was obvious that the servants heard his shouts and were all rushing here.
Song Yang's fighting cocks and lackeys often caused trouble on weekdays, so the servants he brought with him were all tall and tall, and it was quite difficult to walk through the narrow alley. By the time they squeezed through the narrow alley, the people who beat Song Yang had already disappeared. .
The fists on his body suddenly disappeared, just like the downpour suddenly stopped.
Song Yang broke out of the sack angrily, with stars in his eyes. new
"Who! Who dares to hit me!"
Servants, you look at me and I look at you, they are all a little confused.
This is the junction of the alleys. When they came from here, they couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the corner. Now there was no one in front or behind. Except for Li Qingyi and others who walked over first, there was no suspicious person.
"Little Marquis, it's not the eldest girl from the Li family, is it?"
"fart!"
Song Yang jumped up and gave the boy a slap in the face, pointing at his bleeding nose, "How can a delicate little lady beat me to this?"
The boy glanced at his young prince, who was also meticulous, and did not dare to speak.
Song Yang was hit so hard that his brain went numb, "Go check it out! If you find him, break his legs!"
When Li Qingyi's master and servants returned to the house, Shiran hurriedly told the women who started beating Song Yang, "Don't let the news leak out, otherwise we will all have to walk around without food!"
"Yes, yes, the slaves understand in their hearts!"
The Li family treats them well on weekdays, and they can handle them whenever they are needed.
However, Ji Lan was still a little worried and wanted to ask Li Qingyi, but seeing that she didn't seem to care very much, she wondered: "Girl, did Mr. Song Xiaohou guess that it was you?"
Li Qingyi smiled slightly: "Then Song Yang will definitely ask someone to investigate. After repeated investigations, we can't find out the real owner, so we can only blame me."
"Ah? Suspicious on the girl?" Isatis frightened, "Then don't you want to suffer disaster?"
Li Qingyi had calculated almost all the details of today's events. He even knew the time it took Song Yang to catch up with him, and she had already returned to the carriage when Song Yang was beaten.
"Don't worry. Suspicions are just suspicions. Even if he knows clearly that I am the perpetrator, as long as he has no evidence, he can't do anything to me. Besides, for the sake of his own comfort, he dumped the trouble on us. It's nonsense to beat him up. draw!"
"But, if Madam Yongpinghou finds out, wouldn't it be..."
"Isn't that just right?"
"What the girl means... is to let Mrs. Yongpinghou know that you are not a virtuous person who can handle things. Regardless of whether it is Song Xiaohou's intention or not, she wants her not to have any ideas about you?"
Li Qingyi said with satisfaction, "You girl is getting smarter and smarter!"
"But Madam said that Princess Rongling and Marquis Yongping only have one son and one daughter, and she is extremely indulgent towards her only son. If she knew that her son was beaten into such a state by Fatty, would she not resent the girl?"
"It's just a beating, and she doesn't have any arms or legs. If she comes to me to argue, then I will talk to her again."
Woad couldn't laugh or cry.
Li Qingyi also said, "Rongling County has come to the door three times and five times. It is estimated that many people know that she wants to get married with our house, but has never been able to achieve it. , when word spread, everyone would know that we two little ones didn’t like each other, and we also helped Princess Rongling and Marquis Yongping solve the problem.”
Silan suddenly realized it and flattered her: "Young lady is wise!"
Li Qingyi thought of Shen Nianzhen, "Where is my cousin?"
"She went shopping with the second girl, and the two of them got along quite well. By the way, Jiang Shun came back in the morning, and the girl has been unavailable. Do you want her to reply now?"
Li Qingyi nodded: "Let him come over."
Jiang Shun had been waiting in the back courtyard. Hearing Li Qingyi's call, he soon arrived at the side building of Qinghuai Courtyard to reply.
"The younger one went to Changzhou
Ask about the Shen family..."
Jiang Shun told Li Qingyi in detail what he had seen and heard in Changzhou, and finally said with some embarrassment: "I think your aunt probably thinks that if she stays in Changzhou, her daughter will really I can’t get married anymore, so I decided to come to the capital, and it’s not for any other reason.”
Li Qingyi was also surprised, "Cousin, is she... so fierce and powerful?"
Jiang Shundao said, "It's not that your aunt is unreasonable. It's true that there are some family members who are not very honest. They bully their orphaned daughter and widowed mother. They want to gain wealth from the Shen family, but on the surface they still pretend to be human. Your cousin is not easy to fool. She greets all the matchmakers who come to her for eighteen generations. After that, no one can show her shame and she has gained a reputation from all over the country."
"Don't you have a suitable and good family?"
"Yes, there are, but those who are poor and helpless. Your cousin made it clear from the beginning that she will never marry. After all, she is married, and the only one left in the family is an old mother. She has to work with her husband all day long. , If you have children in the future, life will inevitably be awkward, and you can't take care of it. She said she would rather live with your aunt and grandmother alone. This is what she said to a good friend. "
Li Qingyi finally understood what Shen Nian was really thinking.
People from a well-off family always put pressure on her. She couldn't make the decision, so she couldn't take care of her mother. If you marry into a poor family, just as Jiang Shun said, your life will be miserable, you will have too much time to take care of yourself, and you will also be unable to take care of your mother.
But not getting married has become a worry for the old mother.
Shen Nian really had no choice but to persuade his mother to come to the capital to join them.
Li Qingyi sighed.
To be honest, with Shen Nianzhen's family background, he couldn't find a suitable family in a small place like Changzhou. How could he find his in-laws' family in a place like the capital, where the rich and powerful are everywhere? Unless you are a concubine.
Shen Nianzhen's appearance is pretty good.
But she made it clear that she couldn't live a life of being angry.
Therefore, when she came to Beijing, she did not want to get married, but just used marriage as an excuse to find a way out for her mother and daughter.
Thinking like this, Li Qingyi suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart. She had a villainous heart.
Jiang Shun saw that she had nothing more to ask, so he bowed and left.
Li Qingyi stopped him and motioned to Isatis to hand over his purse, "It's freezing cold and I asked you to run so far. The Chinese New Year is about to come. Buy some things for your home so that you can have a good New Year with Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shun quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Qingyi, saying gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."
As soon as Jiang Shun left, Li Qingyi couldn't sit still and took the girl to the courtyard where Shen Nianzhen lived.
Li Miaoran is also there.
When she saw Li Qingyi, she immediately rushed over and locked Li Qingyi's arm like an octopus. "Sister! My cousin said she wanted to do a small business. What kind of shop do you think would be good?"
