A pot of spiritual tea, a heavy rain.
Li Xiuyuan and the old man were told an unheard story. The old man called him hateful and Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sneer.
I only regret that I was too soft-hearted today and did not kill a few evil slaves of Xiao Mansion on the long street.
It turns out that Wang Yu'er, who was pregnant with a marriage contract, came to Chang'an Imperial City from Chu land just to meet the man whose father made a marriage contract to her.
Unexpectedly, the young lady from the Xiao Mansion also fell in love with her future husband, so she did not hesitate to insult and suppress Wang Yuer...
Even the man with whom she was engaged did not dare to intercede on her behalf.
In the end, he had to live in Chang'an's wine shops and teahouses to make a living by playing ditties.
Even so, the young lady of the Xiao Mansion was unwilling to give in. She just wanted to kill her quickly, which is why today's scene happened.
A group of evil slaves want to take Wang Yu'er away and eventually sell her into a brothel.
Li Xiuyuan sighed again and again, looking at the old man in front of him and shaking his head: "I think I have seen the darkness of the world, but I didn't expect that there is an even darker side."
The old man did not answer, but looked at Wang Yu'er in front of him and asked: "Next, are you going to continue looking for that man, or are you going to return to your hometown?"
In the eyes of the old man, nothing mattered. Wang Yu'er in front of him should have a safe place to go.
Instead of staying in the imperial city and fighting against a big family.
He and Li Xiuyuan are not afraid, but that doesn't mean that weak women like Wang Yu'er are not afraid.
Wang Yu'er shook her head, bit her lip and replied: "I have torn up that engagement paper with my own hands in front of the heartless person, and I don't want to stay in Chang'an anymore..."
"Then go home."
Li Xiu replied quietly: "Tomorrow, I will send you back to your hometown to start your new life. Don't rely on that changed man anymore."
In his opinion, as long as Wang Yu'er holds these gold coins, it will be enough for her to leave the imperial city and start her own new life.
Wang Yu'er nodded gently: "Thank you sir for your life-saving grace. Yu'er has nothing to repay..."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan looked at the old man and said, "Tomorrow, senior and Qingyu will be troubled to send her out of the city, and let Qingyu escort her all the way to her hometown."
After speaking, he handed an invisibility talisman to the old man and said, "When you leave the city tomorrow, put this talisman on Miss Wang's body."
The old man sighed: "That's fine. Qingyu just happens to have nothing to do, so I'll trouble her to come over."
Wang Yu'er couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this. She looked at the two of them with red eyes and murmured: "You two are really Yu'er's reborn parents, please allow me to repay you in the next life."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "That's not necessary. As long as you live a good life and be strong, that is the best reward for me."
The old man also said: "When you go back, start a small business and don't trust others again."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Where did Qingyu and Gao Yuer'er go?"
In his opinion, the two women should stay at home during this season.
The two girls from the Imperial City went shopping with Yelu Mingzhu. They had already bought all the things they wanted to buy. How could they still think about shopping?
The old man chuckled: "They were dragged by Qin Xiangyu to the Hongchen Inn to drink tea. They said they would pick up Xiaobao and take him home later."
…
That night, Li Xiuyuan declined Qin Xiangyu's offer to leave Wang Yu'er at the Hongchen Inn.
In his opinion, as long as Wang Yu'er stays in Chang'an for one day, there will be more danger.
He couldn't really defeat the Xiao Mansion. In that case, he and the old man would both have to get out of this world.
Only Xiaobao is well-behaved. In his opinion, his husband's arrangements are the best. Now he has found happiness in the academy and looks forward to dawn every day.
Gao Yue'er thought for a while, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "How about I go with senior sister?"
After staying in Chang'an for some days, she now wanted to go out for a walk with Qingyu, and was no longer as worried as when she first arrived.
"You should stay in the Imperial City, pick up Xiaobao every day, and learn how to make wine by the way."
Li Xiuyuan interrupted Gao Yue'er's thoughts, looked at her and said seriously: "Qingyu's state of mind is more stable than yours. Her cultivation has recovered well and she can protect herself."
The old man naturally understands Li Xiuyuan's painstaking efforts. He is probably afraid that Gao Yuer'er will encounter any trouble again, and he is afraid that he has a death wish.
So he smiled and said: "My black bean wine is about to be sold out. Please help me tomorrow and let's learn together."
Xiaobao smiled: "Xiaobao can also help grandpa."
"You, you should just go to the academy and study!"
Gao Yue'er touched Xiao Bao's head and laughed: "Back then, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu took turns sending Qing Qing and Yan'er to study. They didn't expect that one day I would also give them away."
Qingyu glared at her: "What, you're not happy?"
After saying that, he took Wang Yu'er's son and walked towards the courtyard of No. 46, while saying to Qin Xiangyu: "I heard that a big event happened in the imperial city today!"
Seeing that her senior sister was going to bed, Gao Yue'er quickly took Xiaobao's hand and walked into her room.
While teaching him a lesson: "Little brat, go to bed early and don't keep trying to steal Mr. Eater and chat with your seniors."
Qin Xiangyu was left alone facing Li Xiuyuan and the old man. She clapped her hands and asked carelessly: "Tell me, was it you who caused the big incident in the imperial city today?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at her and replied, "Why, don't you want to go to the Xiao Mansion and tell the truth?"
"Tch, what do you mean, am I, Qin Xiangyu, that kind of person?"
Patting his chest, Qin Xiangyu shouted angrily: "Master, this guy is bullying others. If you can't do it, I have to go back to the inn. My guy is still waiting for me."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "Do you want to know what happened?"
Qin Xiangyu then chuckled and said, "You'd better tell me, don't hang on to me all the time."
Reaching out to add spiritual tea to the cups of the three of them, Li Xiuyuan rambled to her in detail about the scene that happened during the day.
Finally, he said angrily: "What I'm angry about is that I could have stayed with Mingzhu for a little longer, but because of that evil woman, I had to let the old monk take her away."
Li Xiuyuan didn't tell clearly where Yelu Mingzhu went. After all, he didn't even tell Qingyu and Gao Yuer about it.
He believed that with the intelligence of the two women, they should be able to guess it.
When Qin Xiangyu heard this, he became angry, slapped the table and cursed: "Such a heartless man should be killed with a sword. Why are you still here to harm others?"
"Haha, don't take it seriously. Wang Yu'er has given up everything in the imperial city. She will go home with Qing Yu tomorrow..."
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "This is my cause and effect, not yours. When doing business, you must be harmonious and make money."
Qin Xiangyu laughed angrily at his words: "It seems that your wine shop is not a business, but you teach me a lesson."
"That's not a lesson to you. I can close the door and leave at any time and hide in the mountains. Your home is in an inn, where can you hide?"
Gently, Li Xiuyuan analyzed Qin Xiangyu carefully: "Since you can't let go of the mortal world in front of you, you must abide by some rules in the mortal world."
Qin Xiangyu thought about it, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "It's all my life that is suffering, okay?"
The old man laughed when he heard it: "By the way, you didn't mention the hardship when you counted the money."
…
In the deep palace, the golden glazed tiles glow with golden light, and the summer flowers in the garden are blooming quietly.
In the pavilion, Mingkong was half-closing her eyes and listening to what the palace maid next to her was saying. There were fruit pastries on the stone table, but she didn't have much of an appetite.
The birds on the branches were chirping, making Mingkong upset.
He opened his red lips lightly and said, "Bird, bird, could it be possible that you can bring me any surprises?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of brisk footsteps not far away.
Before she could open her eyes, the eunuch who had delivered the message said, "Your Majesty, your junior sister is here to visit you."
"Junior sister, why is it you?"
Mingkong opened his eyes, looked at Qin Xiangyu who was moving forward, and said with a smile: "I thought the birds on the branch were making me panic just now, so it turns out you are coming?"
Qin Xiangyu entered the pavilion and saluted her, then smiled softly and said, "Isn't this what I made an appointment with you?"
Mingkong waved the eunuch away and sighed faintly: "My chest is feeling tight."
When Qin Xiangyu saw that the eunuch left and there was only one palace maid left in the pavilion, she did not hesitate and reached out to pinch Ming Kong's little wrist.
"Are you happy?"
Qin Xiangyu screamed softly in shock and glared at the palace maid covering her mouth.
He asked in a daze: "You already know about this matter? Where is the emperor? Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Mingkong sighed quietly and replied: "How dare I hide such a big thing from Your Majesty? What do you think I should do? It's better to ask the imperial doctor to take a look than to let my brother and master take a look..."
Qin Xiangyu shook his head and whispered: "Those two grown men don't understand shit... Don't say this to the master."
Upon hearing this, Mingkong couldn't help but giggle, picked up a fruit from the table and blocked Qin Xiangyu's mouth.
She smiled and scolded: "You are a bold woman, you dare to slander even my brother, be careful I tear your mouth apart."
Qin Xiangyu sighed and replied quietly: "There is an imperial doctor in the palace, so there is no need for the master to worry about you."
Mingkong touched her belly and murmured to herself: "Back then, my mother said that it was most uncomfortable for a woman to be pregnant with a child. I never thought that I would have to go through so many hardships to understand how she felt when she was pregnant with me."
When Qin Xiangyu heard this, he was immediately speechless.
The maid on the side ran to the garden and picked a flower.
He ran in with a smile, handed it to Mingkong and said with a smile: "The emperor is doting on you right now."
Hearing this, Mingkong said quietly: "It's a pity that it's not convenient for master and brother to enter the palace. Otherwise, it would be good to invite them to sit here."
"Don't mention it, don't mention Li Xiuyuan."
Qin Xiangyu curled her lips and said softly: "That guy is not a worry-free person. I am afraid of scaring you if I tell you. Forget it. I won't say it anymore."
Originally, Qin Xiangyu wanted to chat with his senior sister about what happened yesterday.
Seeing that Mingkong was pregnant, how could she dare to say some messy things to affect her junior sister's mood at this time?
When Mingkong heard this, he immediately quit.
He stretched out his hand to squeeze Qin Xiangyu's hand and said word by word: "If you dare not tell me, I will lock you up in the palace for a month and let your husband hang himself."
With a smile, Qin Xiangyu quickly replied: "I'm afraid of you."
"It's nothing to say. It's just that a female disciple of Li Xiuyuan came to Chang'an City with the old monk a few days ago. Yesterday he took his precious disciple to a teahouse to drink tea..."
"It is said that in the end, the Xiao Mansion invited hundreds of forbidden troops from the palace, but your brother used leaves from the street to kill them. Do you think it was a shame?"
Sighing, Qin Xiangyu looked at her and said seriously: "He has to deal with this matter. You must not cause any more trouble."
When Mingkong heard this, he couldn't help but giggle. He looked at a palace maid and said, "Those imperial soldiers are no different from idiots."
The palace maid was startled and asked cautiously: "Is it possible that there are still people in this world who are not afraid of the Imperial Army?"
Mingkong sighed quietly and replied: "My brother is a god in the sky, how can he take these idiots seriously?"
When Qin Xiangyu heard this, he shook his head: "You are not allowed to interfere in this matter?"
"What about the woman who was abandoned by her fiancé? I would like to invite her into the palace to play a song for my daughter."
Mingkong murmured: "What kind of woman is she who can give her brother a thousand pieces of gold just for a song?"
