"It's been easy for me to find you these past few days." The limping and wretched man quickly walked in, looking at the appearance and furnishings of the store, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, "I heard that you have moved."
"What's the matter?" Shen Yinxiao didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
Zhao Li licked his chapped lips and laughed twice: "What's the matter?"
He pointed to his lame leg: "What I am now is not thanks to you. Now that I'm back, I can't find a job, so you have to support me!"
A'duo was frightened by his appearance and took two steps back. He quickly reacted, picked up the stick on the side and pointed at Zhao Li: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
Shen Yinxiao frowned: "You are all to blame for today. When your exile period is over, you should change your ways. If you come to me again, I will report you to the official."
"Bah - don't think I don't know that you are hooking up with Gao Zhi now! You are hooking up with that young master of the Wei family, and you dare to talk to me in such a bossy manner!" Zhao Li spat unwillingly and gritted his teeth: " I don’t want more, just give me five hundred taels of cash and I’ll leave! I know you have it! You opened such a big store, how could you not have it!”
The more Zhao Li talked about it, the more he hated him. In the past few years, he had been exiled thousands of miles away in Lingnan. Every day he thought about how to take revenge on them when he came back. The boy named Jiang was not in Youzhou. He was about to go to the Shen family, but was told that Shen The family has moved.
In the past few days, he had been searching door to door, and finally he found it.
Now that he has nothing, what else is there to be afraid of!
"No." Shen Yinxiao's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his body was trembling slightly.
She thought she had forgotten the horrific experience of that night, but it turned out that she had not. On a rainy night, the naked man, his clothes taken off, and his lewd and lewd smiling face were all so vivid in her mind that she couldn't breathe.
It felt like a cold hand was holding my throat.
"No?" He laughed sharply, "I will support you without you! You have to be responsible for me! My legs were broken by that brat, and he broke my legs for you! He made me Now I am disabled! You have to support me!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the foul breath hit his face. Shen Yinxiao endured the feeling of vomiting and took a step back.
"Hehehe - it's okay if you don't give it to me, I'll go to the Wei Mansion to ask for it from your rich and powerful concubine!"
Shen Yinxiao's face turned pale, "Just wait."
She dug out her purse and found just over a hundred taels in total.
She threw a hundred taels at Zhao Li's feet and said in a cold voice: "That's all. Don't go to him, and don't come to me again, otherwise I can only report to the official."
Zhao Li took the money and left.
Shen Yinxiao sat slumped on the stool.
"Madam, I'm afraid that person will come back and ask for money." A'duo has seen this kind of scoundrel and knows the nature of this kind of person, "We can't give it every time."
——
The ancestral home of the Wei family.
There were many carriages and horses at the gate of the Wei family. Wei Angang took Wei Cheng and Wei Zheng to worship at the ancestral temple. The group came out of the ancestral hall, and everyone retreated to both sides.
Wei An is over forty years old, but he is well-kept. His temples are as black as clouds, as black as thick ink, his beard is neatly trimmed, his manners are beautiful, his gestures are joyful and angry, and he is intimidating.
Wei Cheng inherited six points of his charm and another four points of handsomeness from his biological mother, the Jiang family.
Standing next to Wei Cheng is Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng is the brother of Wei An and the only son of Wei Yong. He has a somewhat similar appearance to Wei Cheng, but is gentler, unlike Wei Cheng who always has a cold face.
"Now that spring is here, it's time to discuss Zhong Yang's marriage." Wei An said calmly.
Wei Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Zheng with a smile: "The eldest brother hasn't married yet, so the child doesn't dare to marry first."
Speaking of Wei Zheng's marriage, Wei An also had a headache. Over the years, he had selected many noble girls from aristocratic families for Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng always looked down upon them, preferring to linger among flowers and surrounded by clouds of beautiful concubines.
Wei An did not answer his words and continued: "The Wang family is interested in getting married now. I think it is very suitable."
The Wang family regretted their marriage back then, but now that Wang Yuanjun's marriage was unfavorable, she turned to look for Wei Cheng again. Although Wei An felt a little unhappy, she didn't want to refuse.
It's harmless.
It was just a marriage. Being able to get married to the Wang family would bring no harm to the Wei family. As for the previous conflicts, he could forget about it.
Marriage between wealthy relatives and nobles always only depends on the results.
Wei Cheng had a faint smile on his lips and did not answer.
"If the second brother doesn't agree, could it be that he already has a sweetheart?" Wei Zheng said with a smile.
Wei Cheng looked at him deeply: "I am not as proud of love as my elder brother, and I have no intention of marrying."
"It's ridiculous, start a family and start a business! You must first start a family before you can start a business!" Wei An scolded.
The servants suddenly came in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Wei And asked.
The servant glanced at Wei Cheng with some embarrassment, "Back to my lord...yes, I'm looking for the young master."
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Who?"
The servant almost cried: "A rogue... we sent him away, but the rogue started shouting on the street. There are many people in the house today, so we had to invite him in first."
On normal days, they would have dealt with the person long ago.
Wei An frowned and glanced at Wei Cheng with some displeasure.
Zhao Li was brought in.
When he saw Wei Cheng and others, he couldn't tell who Wei Cheng was, so he licked his face and said with a smile, "Who is Wei Shaojun?"
The smile on the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth became more serious, and he glanced at Wei Cheng, whose eyes were darkened beside him.
Zhao Li reacted, knelt down and crawled a few steps, and said with a smile: "I heard that Wei Shaojun took great care of Shen Yinxiao. To be honest, I am Shen Yinxiao's cousin because she was sent to prison and was even exiled. , I just came back now, now my legs are broken and I can’t find a job, so I want to beg you to give me some food.”
He just came back and didn't know anything at first. Someone came to him and pointed him to this road.
It is said that the young master of the Wei family takes great care of Shen Yinxiao.
Wei An's face was dark.
Wei Cheng raised his hand, and Wei Ning took out a few banknotes and threw them to him: "Get out of here."
Zhao Li's eyes widened, he picked up the banknotes and counted them. There were eight in total. He put them into his arms with shining eyes and kowtowed: "Thank you, Shaojun, thank you..."
Two servants held him up and carried him out.
Wei An's expression was no longer as kind as when he came out of the ancestral temple just now.
With a bit of disgust and disdain.
"Let's break up with the woman you have outside, and don't leave anything to talk about to the Wang family." He said coldly, turned around and left.
Wei Zheng followed closely, and when he passed Wei Cheng, he patted his shoulder meaningfully.
