Li Mansion.
Not long after Doctor Ming from Renshan Hall left, Li Youbin woke up.
Although medicine had been applied and the wound had been bandaged, Li Youbin's buttocks still felt burning pain, as if they were about to burst.
Li Youbin lay on the couch.
He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. He instantly remembered the scene before he fell into coma. Master Jia personally gave him an order to give him thirty strokes of stick. The two government officials showed no mercy at all. He beat him to death.
If it weren't for his great fortune, I'm afraid he should be reporting in the Yama Hall at this time!
"My dear grandson!"
As soon as Li Youbin opened his eyes, Mrs. Li, who was standing beside the bed, threw herself on Li Youbin again and cried: "God damn Jia Laogou, how dare he give such a cruel punishment to my good grandson? I will never forgive him!"
"grandmother!"
Li Youbin's eyes turned red instantly. When he moved a little, the pain in his buttocks made him burst into tears: "My grandson will almost never see his grandmother again."
Li Youbin's parents died when he was young. He and his sister Li Qiqi were raised by their grandmother. The two siblings relied heavily on their grandmother.
The family has a small income, but has always been coveted by her uncles. For this reason, her sister Li Qiqi tried her best to become the concubine of Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian. After holding the banner of Jiangnan Governor and beating all the uncles, Li Qiqicai followed Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian to Jiangning.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li suddenly felt very distressed, and she quickly coaxed him softly: "Bin'er, don't worry, grandma has already sent a letter to your sister. Your sister will definitely be able to coax Mr. Shi to come to Suzhou in person and pick the old man's hand." A dog’s black gauze hat!”
Li Youbin's eyes lit up. He knew that his sister loved him the most and could never bear to let him be wronged in the slightest.
Now that Mr. Jia is so arrogant, he dares to torture him. After my sister receives the letter, she will definitely blow the pillow next to Mr. Shi. When the time comes...
Li Youbin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Grandma, I want that person named Jia to die in front of me!"
"Yeah!"
Mrs. Li echoed: "I have to let Jia Laogou kowtow in front of my good grandson and admit his mistake!"
Li Youbin's eyes were vicious and he said in an excited tone: "Not only that, but the two government servants who attacked me and the man who colluded with Mr. Jia will all die!"
Seeing that my dear grandson was so excited, and fearing that he would accidentally get involved in the wound, Mrs. Li quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, listen to my dear grandson, they all deserve to die!"
Just thinking that they would soon die in front of him, Li Youbin instantly felt that the bad breath in his heart was dissipated.
Mrs. Li suddenly remembered something and said in a worried tone: "My dear grandson is injured now. Since my dear grandson is going to marry Su Lian'er in three days, how about my grandma postpone your wedding to a later date?"
Postponing your wedding to a later date?
How can that work!
After what happened today, there might be many people in the city secretly watching his joke. If grandma postpones the wedding, there will probably be news tomorrow that Li Youbin was beaten half to death by Mr. Jia, and now he can only lie in bed. You can’t marry a beautiful girl on the couch!
Li Youbin's eyes darkened, and he rejected his grandmother's intention, "Grandma, the wedding cannot be postponed, so just hold a banquet on the original wedding date. What's more, don't forget, grandma, after the wedding date is set, it will be sent to Jiangning. letter."
"Sister has already mentioned it in front of Mr. Shi, and Mr. Shi also intends to come. If the wedding date is changed today, once Mr. Shi finds out about it, wouldn't he think that our Li family is teasing him?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li suddenly raised her hand and slapped her forehead: "I'm so stupid, I forgot about this! Thanks to my good grandson for mentioning it, otherwise, grandma would have really done something bad with good intentions!"
"There are only a few days left for the divorce. Grandma will go out to handle the matter in person right now. My dear grandson, you stay in the room and recuperate."
"Grandma, don't worry, my injury will definitely heal soon."
"Okay, okay."
Mrs. Li walked out of the room slowly on crutches and with the support of her maid.
The Li Mansion was going to start arranging Li Youbin's marriage. When the people in the city heard the news, they all sighed. Why couldn't Mr. Jia's cane punishment kill the young master of the Li family?
Instead, let the bully continue to stay in the city and harm the good girl?
The Su family also received the news.
Su Lian'er was combing her makeup in front of the mirror. Suddenly she heard the report from the maid A Wan, and the comb in her hand instantly fell to the ground.
Ah Wan was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, calling out in a worried tone: "Miss?"
Su Lian'er's face turned pale, and her watery eyes dimmed instantly.
That day, the young master of the Li family threatened her with the lives of her parents and asked her to agree to marry him. She was just a weak woman with no power. In order to save her parents, Su Lianer only knew that the young master of the Li family was not a good match. Neng tearfully agreed to the young master of the Li family and set a wedding date with him.
Originally, Su Lian'er was still harboring a trace of luck, hoping that the young master of the Li family could come to the Su family in person to cancel the marriage.
But she didn't expect that she wouldn't get the result she wanted. Instead, she would hear the news that the Li family was planning a wedding...
"I'm fine."
Su Lian'er shook her head and suppressed all the pain in her heart: "Since the Li Mansion has started to prepare for the wedding, I will not go out for the next two days and stay at home to prepare for the wedding."
"If Mr. Zhao comes again, reject him for me and tell him not to come again."
"Miss……"
Ah Wan looked at her young lady with tears in her eyes. She had been waiting for her for a long time. Ah Wan knew that her young lady was interested in Mr. Zhao, but suddenly a young master from the Li family came out and snatched the young lady away!
Her young lady is so gentle and beautiful. She should marry the person she likes, not that bully who has done many evil deeds!
Su Lian'er bent down slightly, placed her green-white fingers on Awan's cheek, and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Okay, stop crying. Since you can't resist, you can only choose to obey."
"Awan, go ahead and tell Mr. Zhao."
In this life, she and Mr. Zhao are destined to have no connection.
When Ah Wan heard this, she cried even harder and said excitedly: "Why don't you and Mr. Zhao run away!"
"Miss has not been out today. I don't know that the young master of the Li family was beaten with a cane in the government office. Now that Mr. Jia no longer protects the young master of the Li family, maybe the young lady will have other choices."
Su Lian'er was suddenly stunned and looked at Awan in disbelief: "Did you just say that the young master of the Li family was tortured with a cane?"
"yes!"
Ah Wan raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, and said seriously: "Everyone said that the young master of the Li family was despised by Master Jia, so he was punished with this rod. So, miss, you don't have to be afraid of the threat of the young master of the Li family anymore."
Su Lian'er suddenly stood up: "Let me think about it first."
It would be impossible for her to choose to escape Suzhou.
Her parents are still alive, and all the Su family's property remains in Suzhou. If she runs away and leaves her parents behind, how will they face the Li family's accountability?
This plan is not feasible.
It didn't work, she still couldn't run.
Unless the young master of the Li family died, she would not have to marry him.
The glimmer of hope that had just risen was instantly extinguished, and Su Lian'er sighed: "That's it, Ah Wan, I won't run away, so there's no need to mention this matter again."
Seeing that her young lady's attitude was so resolute, Ah Wan didn't know how to persuade her. She lowered her head, sniffed, and responded obediently: "I understand."
After saying that, Awan stood up and left.
Mr. Zhao was waiting at the side door outside the mansion. She still had to listen to the young lady's orders.
Awan walked toward the side door.
There were not many servants in the mansion, and Awan didn't meet anyone else on the way there.
When we arrived at the side door, only Uncle Chai, who was blind in one eye, was guarding the door.
A Wan went over and said, "Uncle, please open the side door."
Uncle Chai recognized A Wan as the maid who stayed by the young lady's side as soon as she entered the house.
Uncle Chai didn't find out the reason. After opening the side door, he walked to the other side.
Ah Wan cast a grateful look at Uncle Chai's back.
Uncle Chai paused slightly and continued walking forward.
After exiting the side door, Awan saw the man standing outside.
"Master Zhao."
Zhao Wuqian turned around and subconsciously looked past A Wan who was standing in front of him, looking for the figure that haunted him.
Unfortunately, I didn't see it.
Zhao Wuqian took half a step back and looked up at Ah Wan with a disappointed look on his face: "Ah Wan, why doesn't Miss Lian'er come out?"
Awan's eyes turned red, and she shook her head and said, "Master Zhao, please go back. My young lady has said that Master Zhao does not need to come here anymore. The Li family is already preparing for the marriage between the young lady and the young master of the Li family..."
When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Wuqian's face suddenly darkened.
That's what he came for.
He doesn't want to lose Miss Lian'er, and he doesn't want that damn Li Youbin to get Miss Lian'er. Miss Lian'er can't marry Li Youbin!
"Awan, I know Miss Lian'er's difficulties, and I also believe that Miss Lian'er has me in her heart."
Zhao Wuqian said: "Please Ah Wan tell Miss Lian'er for me, as long as I am here, I will never let Miss Lian'er enter the fire pit of the Li family!"
For the sake of Miss Lian'er, he could only agree to Brother Wei and take risks to get the slightest chance to bring down the Li family!
After saying that, Zhao Wuqian was about to turn around and leave.
Listening to Mr. Zhao's resolute tone, as if he was going to fight for the young master of the Li family for his own lady, Awan was startled and quickly called him out: "Mr. Zhao, please stay."
Zhao Wuqian stopped immediately: "But Miss Lian'er, is there anything else you want to say?"
Ah Wan reminded me tactfully: "Master Zhao, please think more about my young lady before you act."
"If something happens to Mr. Zhao, my lady will be very sad."
Zhao Wuqian pursed his lips and said, "I understand."
Zhao Wuqian turned and left.
Awan stood alone, with a worried look on her face, and sighed melancholy: "Why can't we get married even if we have lovers?"
Obviously Mr. Zhao and his young lady are so compatible.
…
It's nearly time of the year, and the sun sets over the west mountain.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi took the carriage back to Chang'an Temple outside the city.
The person sitting in front driving the carriage was not Mu Qing. Mu Qing's bodyguard had a mission and could only stay in the city.
But the man driving the carriage at this time was the groom named Ding Dong who was left in Luoyang Inn earlier.
With a "hush" sound, the carriage stopped.
Ding Dong said: "Master, madam, have arrived at the bottom of the mountain."
"Um."
Xie Xi responded in a low voice.
But looking at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping deeply on his shoulder, Xie Xi couldn't bear to wake her up.
But now that the night is getting darker, if they don't go back, her two slaves will become restless.
I don’t know how the conversation between Mr. Huaijun and Mrs. Jiang went.
Xie Xi lowered his eyes and put away the contemplation in his eyes.
Looking sideways at the sleeping pretty woman, Xie Xi couldn't help but stretched out his hand, gently pinched Lu Xiaoxiao's white and rosy cheeks, and called her in a low voice: "Madam, wake up."
"I'm going back, madam, wake up quickly."
"Um?"
Listening to the shouting in his ears, he felt his face was itchy for no reason, and Lu Xiaoxiao opened his eyes in a daze.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had just woken up, looked confused, staring at Xie Xi with sleepy eyes, unable to react: "Husband, what's wrong?"
Slender fingers gently brushed away the broken hair stuck to her cheeks. Xie Xi said in a gentle voice: "Madam, we have arrived at the foot of Chang'an Temple. It's time to go back."
"We're here."
Only then did Lu Xiaoxiao react. He lifted up the gauze of the car window with one hand and looked at the darkening night outside. "Husband, let's get off the carriage first."
"Um."
Xie Xi got off the carriage first.
Then, Xie Xi helped Lu Xiaoxiao get out of the carriage.
Ding Dong held two lanterns and stood beside the horse, lighting the way for His Highness.
Xie Xi: "Ding Dong, you are waiting at the foot of the mountain with your carriage. There is no need to follow."
Ding Dong responded: "Yes, Master."
"The lantern is left to you."
After saying that, before Lu Xiaoxiao could react, Xie Xi suddenly held Lu Xiaoxiao in his arms and quickly climbed up the mountain using Qinggong.
It wasn't until he stood at the gate of Chang'an Temple and stepped on the hard ground that Lu Xiaoxiao felt at ease.
Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, stretched out his fingers and gently hooked Xie Xi's sleeve: "Husband, let's go in."
Noticing her little movement, Xie Xi pursed his lips, held her soft little hand, and said, "Yes."
The warmth in his palms gradually melted away. Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xie Xi secretly, then quickly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant.
Xie Xi pursed her lips and chuckled.
The gate of Chang'an Temple was not closed, because Xie Xi had given instructions in advance, and the person guarding the gate at this time was Xie Shiba.
Seeing his master and Lu Fengyi coming over, Xie Shiba was about to salute when he saw his master raising his hand to signal, "You don't need to be too particular outside."
Xie Shiba understood and responded quickly: "Yes, Master."
Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao entered Chang'an Temple together.
As soon as the two arrived at the backyard, they were spotted by Chen Lu who had been guarding the yard.
Chen Lu hurriedly walked over and blessed the two masters, "I have seen the two masters. The two masters are finally back."
On the day when her master was out, she had been feeling uneasy, fearing that something would happen to him.
Now that her master has returned safely, Chen Lu is completely relieved.
"Morning dew?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked surprised and frowned: "It's windy at night and it's cold in the courtyard. You shouldn't wait here."
