You Said You Didn't Want to Acknowledge Me, So Why Are You Crying Now That I've Truly Cut Ties?

Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.

Only after being thrown into the mass grav...

Chapter 70 The Li Family in Trouble

"Master, we apologize. We did not mean to offend you. I will personally apologize later." Li's father, covered in sweat, and his father tried to pull their daughter-in-law away.

However, Li's mother, filled with despair, possessed immense strength, and Li's father and Xiaolian were unable to hold her back at all.

The two daughters-in-law stood aside, not knowing what to do. One of them looked at Yun Zhiyi in the carriage and suddenly ran out and knelt down with a thud.

"Master, please save my husband! If you are willing to save my husband, I am willing to be your slave."

"Zhou family!" Old Master Li roared, stamping his feet in anger.

Father Li looked at his daughter-in-law with a grim expression and hurriedly told his second daughter-in-law to quickly pull the woman away.

The second daughter-in-law hesitated.

Yun Zhiyi had gathered the general information and understood what had happened, so she sighed softly.

"Alright."

Everyone froze, turning to look at her.

“Master.” Father Li was somewhat uneasy, afraid of angering her.

"Mr. Li, please tell me the details."

Then he looked at Li's mother, who was covered in mud and blood, and said, "You are people from my estate. If there is anything, I will take care of it if I can."

Then he said to Xiaolian, "Take your mother back first to treat her wound, so it doesn't get infected."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Xiaolian exclaimed excitedly.

The fact that the employer said this means that it is possible to help.

Li's mother understood what she meant. A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, her heartstrings suddenly relaxed, her body went limp, and she fainted.

"Mother!" Li Xiaolian and her two daughters-in-law rushed forward to help her up.

Yun Zhiyi frowned, got off the carriage, walked over and pinched her wrist, then relaxed her brow slightly.

"Don't worry, she's just overthinking and too tired. Let her rest more." As he spoke, he subtly injected a stream of energy into her.

Everyone was surprised and full of admiration that she was also skilled in medicine.

"Mr. Li, please take your wife home first, and let the old man speak to me."

Then, looking at the crowd, he said, "The rest of you may leave now."

Since she had said that, no one dared to linger any longer. They could only disperse, looking back every few steps, wondering how their master would help the Li family.

After everyone had dispersed, Yun Zhiyi looked at Old Master Li and Zhou Shi, who had resolutely stayed behind.

"Sir, please tell me what happened."

Old Master Li, his face full of shame, bowed deeply to her, saying, "I have truly offended the master today."

Yun Zhiyi waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for such polite words.

Grandpa Li took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and explained the situation to her in detail.

The problem stemmed from Li's eldest son and second daughter.

The second daughter, Li Yahe, is engaged to Dong Chongyuan, the youngest son of the village head of Dongjia Village.

The two families had originally agreed that they would get married by the end of this year.

However, a few months ago, because the estate changed hands and Princess Fu'an no longer had a powerful backing, Li Erhua, also known as Li Yahe, was fired from the embroidery shop.

The Dong family was clearly dissatisfied with this and repeatedly proposed to postpone the engagement, probably wanting to wait and see if the three sons of the Li family could also pass the imperial examination and become scholars.

However, the Li family had also heard that the Dong family had been secretly looking for a new wife for Dong Chongyuan recently, so they were naturally unwilling to agree.

But he was also utterly disappointed with the Dong family.

However, breaking off the engagement at this point would only damage their daughter's reputation, so they had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear it for now.

They all wanted to stall for time until Li Shuheng finished his exams.

Fortunately, Yun Zhiyi had previously helped Li's father clear his name and restore his reputation.

Although he could no longer take the imperial examinations because of his limp, he was still a scholar.

Things calmed down a bit at the Dong family's place.

They only appeared to be calm on the surface; they never stopped secretly.

Dong Chongyuan repeatedly assured Li Yahe that he would definitely marry her.

He secretly followed his family's arrangements and went to meet other women.

During this time, he even fell for a woman from a neighboring village.

The Dong family was also aware of this.

Although the girl's family background was average, she had an older brother who worked as a steward in a wealthy household in the city.

It is said that the daughter of a wealthy family fell in love with him, and the family intended for him to become their son-in-law.

Although he was just a son-in-law who moved into the family home, he was still related by marriage and could at least take care of the family.

It's better than the Li family having nothing at all.

However, the Li family also has a son named Li Shuheng who is about to take the imperial examination to become a scholar.

If the other party can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, it will make up for some of the shortcomings.

So they encouraged their son to continue interacting with the woman to deepen their relationship, so she wouldn't run away.

This drags on both sides, wasting time.

However, the truth will eventually come out.

When Li Yahe went to the embroidery shop to sell her embroidery products in the morning, she was ridiculed by a former colleague and inadvertently learned of this news.

This girl was also an impatient person, and she immediately rushed straight to Dongjia Village.

The woman who had gone with them to deliver the embroidery couldn't be persuaded, so she could only hurry back to inform the Li family.

Upon hearing the news first, Li Shurong asked someone to inform the old man and his mother. Then, grabbing a hoe, he rushed towards the Dong family's house with great momentum.

When they arrived at the Dong family home, they saw the second sister being pinned to the ground and slapped by Dong's mother and her daughter. Her clothes were disheveled and her mouth was covered in blood.

Li Shurong's blood rushed to his head, and he charged forward, kicking the two men away.

Upon seeing this, several men from the Dong family who were watching the commotion rushed forward to attack.

Enraged, Li Shurong grabbed a hoe and started smashing things, especially the culprit, Dong Zhongyuan.

In the chaos, Dong Chongyuan's ankle was severed by a hoe, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Dong family went mad and immediately called on those around them to help capture the man.

Everyone in the village protects their own, especially since it was the village head who spoke up.

I was only watching the spectacle because the Dong family's actions were indeed unethical, and they even ganged up to bully the girl; they deserved to be beaten.

But seeing that things had escalated, they couldn't just ignore it.

When Mr. Li and his mother rushed to the scene after receiving the news, the brother and sister had already been arrested and tied up.

Dong Chongyuan was also sent to the city by his family to see a doctor for his injuries.

The guards left behind wouldn't let them take the person away, saying they had to wait for the Dong family to return.

The Dong family's daughter, who stayed behind, even threatened that if anything happened to Dong Chongyuan, she would make Li Shurong pay with his life.

They didn't even get to see the two of them; they had to rush back to discuss it with Li's father.

Li's father immediately asked the steward for leave and invited several elderly people and men from the village to go to Dongjia Village again to ask for the person.

The people of Dongjia Village wouldn't even let them into the village.

The other side has mobilized all the able-bodied men in the village; if a conflict were to break out, they would be no match for them.

Besides, Father Li couldn't possibly let the people in the village get hurt because of his family's affairs, so he had no choice but to come back first.

Li's father originally planned to go into the city first to find the Dong family and see how things were going.

Then someone came and said that the boss had returned.

Li's mother rushed out immediately, which led to the scene just now.

"So the people are still in Dongjia Village. How can you be sure the Dong family hasn't gone back?"

Grandpa Li sighed deeply, "We don't know either, which is why we wanted to go into the city first to take a look."

"Are you stupid? Of course you should rescue them first. If you leave them there, who knows how the Dong family will mistreat them? Besides, your granddaughter is a woman. What if they lose control and do something?"

Mo Yin was speechless.
