When Li Mingyu refused to accept it, Mr. Li stopped him and persuaded him earnestly: "That's enough, we have already lost."
"Dad, the Xiao family robbed us of fifty thousand taels of silver!"
"This is the mall! It's a war without smoke."
"Really?"
A sudden voice appeared in front of the father and son. When they looked up, they saw that it was Lin Wanjie.
Lin Wanjie was condescending and said with a sneer: "It's just a matter of courtesy. You have to have rules when doing business. If you don't follow the rules, others won't follow the rules for you. Mr. Li, do you think so?"
Without answering, Lin Wanjie turned around and left with the eldest lady.
This case is finally concluded.
The Li family's reputation is completely ruined.
He became a rogue who faked marriage contracts and defrauded money.
Not only did everyone in the public call for beatings, but even the business partners of the Li family shunned him.
In business, once credibility collapses, it is difficult to rebuild it.
Things have just begun, and the Li family's business will plummet in the following time.
But the dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts under the moon lake probably won’t be moved for a while.
The eldest lady took Lin Wanjie back to Xiao Mansion and walked to Shuiyun Residence in Moon Lake to rest.
The spring scenery of Moon Lake is more beautiful than that of West Lake. The weeping willow branches along the lake are all green. The willow branches sway in the breeze, reflecting the ripples in the lake. The reflection on the water is green, and there are fish swimming in the green, like a picture. Landscape paintings come alive.
The wind chimes outside the waterside pavilion are still ringing, and the sound of these jingling bells can be heard. Lin Wanjie's thoughts wandered and he thought of many scenes in Yunshui Residence.
The eldest lady stood by the waterside pavilion and looked outside. She stared at the water carefully. She was sure that she couldn't find any clues. She just returned to the table and took a sip of wine.
"Lin Da, I didn't expect you to be so bold and careful. You actually predicted today's situation years ago. There is no mistake at all!"
Seeing that Lin Wanjie did not answer, the eldest lady added: "I thought this matter would make Madam uneasy. After all, it is an immoral thing. But I don't know why, Madam, I feel an inexplicable pleasure in my heart. I really want to do it well." I took a breath of bad breath, and made fifty thousand taels of silver through some conspiracy and trickery. Instead of feeling guilty, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Do you think my wife is a bad person at heart? "
asked in a long paragraph.
Lin Wanjie still didn't answer.
Only then did the eldest lady notice that Lin Da's expression was a little dazed, a little foolish, and a little reminiscing.
Then the eldest lady understood that this idiot was probably thinking about that woman again.
Many of their memories are indeed left here.
The eldest lady frowned, and the joy of returning from victory in the court was gone.
Every time she thought about Lin Da and Yu Jiaoer, the eldest lady always felt unhappy. In annoyance, she went up and slapped Lin Da.
The eldest lady was unintentional, but this slap landed on Lin Da's butt.
Lin Wanjie's body reaction became more and more agile, and he grabbed the eldest lady's little hand with his hand.
This is embarrassing.
The eldest lady put her hand on Lin Wanjie's butt, not like slapping, but like touching.
The eldest lady herself felt as if she was molesting a man, and her pretty face turned red instantly.
Lin Wanjie let go of her hand and coughed lightly: "If you want to touch me, madam, you can touch her, but others can't."
As soon as these words came out, the eldest lady was so embarrassed that she wanted to jump into the lake. She hit Lin Wanjie on the buttocks with a pink fist and said coquettishly: "You idiot, you are seeking death? What are you talking about? Go back to Yuchan quickly. , you are not allowed to come across the Moon Lake."
Lin Wanjie scratched his head and returned to the lady's yard honestly.
The eldest lady also came out of Yunshui Residence with a red face, thinking about the feeling just now...
It turns out that a man’s butt feels like smooth stone, so nice!
"Wang Yumeng, Wang Yumeng, what are you thinking about?"
The eldest lady was so ashamed that she rubbed her chest and returned to the room. She found the master sitting with a letter in his hand, silent.
The eldest lady was in a happy mood and said: "The Li family's case has been understood, and we have won a complete victory. The betrothal gifts are hidden so that no one will find them, and they can be kept for emergencies. These are all the contributions of Lin Da... "
While talking, the eldest lady found that the master had no reaction at all, which felt a little strange.
"Master, what's wrong?"
When she got closer, the eldest lady was startled. She saw that Mr. Xiao's face was pale and blue, as if he was lost. He mechanically looked up at the eldest lady, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight over.
The letter in his hand fell to the ground.
"Da Lin, Da Lin! Call Da Lin over quickly..."
…
Half an hour later.
The master's face regained vitality and blood, and he woke up, lying on the bed panting.
Lin Wanjie withdrew the needle and said to the doctor: "The master was suddenly frightened, which caused the blood to surge up. Fortunately, he was found in time and can still be relieved with acupuncture. If he is frightened again, his life may be in danger. At that time, the only way is to start the surgery." The skull was bled."
"Craniotomy? I heard that Prince Jing is the one!"
"But the master is different from Prince Jing. I'm afraid the master won't be able to survive."
"Okay, stop talking." Mr. Xiao suddenly interrupted, "It's not my fault alone. I'm afraid the entire Xiao family will be in disaster."
"What?" The eldest lady was shocked, "Master, why are you saying this?"
"Xin...where is the letter?"
"letter?"
Only then did the eldest lady remember the letter that the master held in his hand before he passed out.
Lin Wanjie noticed something, took a few steps and took the letter from the ground.
"Ma'am, is this it?"
The eldest lady handed the letter to Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao handed the letter back to the eldest lady.
"Take a look."
Then he looked at Lin Da: "Go out for a while."
Lin Wanjie was about to leave, but the eldest lady said: "Master, let Lin Da stay. No matter what happens, we need Lin Da."
Mr. Xiao nodded sickly, and then said: "There were eight princes in the dynasty, and they all said that Prince Jing was deeply favored by the emperor and was very favored. But the one who was really favored the most was His Highness Prince Cheng in the capital. I was originally from Prince Cheng's Palace. The housekeeper retired at an old age and returned to his hometown. He settled in Hangzhou with a little capital accumulated under King Cheng. Although more than ten years have passed, the roots of the Xiao family are still in the lineage of King Cheng. This letter They came from the capital. Some people said that King Cheng had rebelled and had already imprisoned King Cheng. Everyone in the Prince's Palace was implicated. In order to collect evidence of King Cheng's crime, even old servants who had been away from the Prince's Palace for many years were taken back. Many of them were arrested. People’s homes were confiscated and beaten to death.”
At this point, Mr. Xiao had a headache again, covering his head with a sad expression.
After reading the letter, the eldest lady's face turned pale. She suppressed her voice and said softly: "Could it be that the official envoys from the capital will come all the way to Hangzhou to capture the master?"
"Not only this old man, but also dozens of people in the Xiao Mansion can't escape. Now... what should I do now?"
