Liu Ji said aggrievedly: "My wife, you always say that I am incompetent and a waste. I just want to make money to spend on you and make you happy. Is that wrong?"
"Besides, didn't you also take Wang Jin's money to help him do things? How can you allow the governor to set fire but not allow the people to light lamps?"
Qin Yao sneered. If she had not been with Liu Ji for several years, anyone else would probably be confused by his aggrieved expression and ignore the essence of the matter.
"I'll take the money and get things done. Can you do it?"
"I can't do that."
Liu Ji admitted it without any psychological burden. Seeing that her eyes were not so sharp anymore, he became bolder and said with a smile: "So I gave all the silver to you, my lady. With your friendship with County Magistrate Song, it should be easy for you to handle these small matters."
Before she finished her words, her eyes suddenly darkened and filled with murderous intent.
Liu Ji immediately shut up and stepped back cautiously.
He swallowed his saliva secretly and tried to make amends weakly, "Then, if you don't want to, I will return the silver to them and take back the painting?"
Qin Yao remained silent.
Liu Ji waited for a while, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought she was reluctant to leave, and he was delighted.
However, just as the joy in his heart spread out, he raised his eyes to meet her black eyes, and then he heard Jing Lei shout:
"You're not going yet?!"
"Ah~~" Liu Ji was so shocked by the sudden roar that his heart and liver trembled, and his voice became out of tune. He took two deep breaths, and then he found his voice again, and hurriedly responded:
"I'll go right away! Madam, you must calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger!"
Then he shouted in fear to the courtyard: "Awang, bring the horse here quickly!"
He lifted the entire tablecloth, packed up all the broken silver pieces on the table, turned around and ran away.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and the sound of galloping horses was heard outside the yard.
There was no sound in the study for a long time.
Awang glanced inside secretly and met Qin Yao's cold eyes, and his breath was immediately held.
She narrowed her eyes dangerously and asked, "If you don't go with me, how can I know whether Liu Ji is really returning the money or just pretending to return it?"
Awang was almost suffocating, but he admired his own brain for being able to think at a time like this: Madam, you are really worrying too much. I bet ten acres of vegetable fields and lend the master a hundred guts that he would not dare to play any tricks today!
He clasped his fists and accepted the order with great caution, then tried his best to drive his stiff body, turned around, jumped over the roof, and chased after his master who was riding a horse far away.
The atmosphere at home is not right.
This was the feeling when Dalang and his two siblings came home from school and saw the quiet yard and their mother sitting alone in the main room, looking east.
"Shh~" Li came out from the kitchen, gestured to Yin Le and the four brothers and sisters to keep quiet, and waved her hand to signal them to go back to their rooms.
The big one and four small ones looked at Li, then at the woman in the main room with a face as dark as ink, and they all raised their hands to cover their mouths, tiptoed back to their rooms.
Li prepared the dinner portions and delivered them directly to their rooms.
At this time, Dalang and his two siblings had the opportunity to learn from Aunt Li what had happened at home during the day.
When the four siblings learned that their father was selling pictures of chickens pecking rice, they were all shocked.
"How could my father come up with such a trick to accept bribes?" Erlang was very shocked, and even a little bit admired his father's brain.
Dalang thought to himself that it was all over. How dare his father do this?
The twins looked at each other and whispered worriedly, "Will Daddy survive this night?"
Li took a deep breath. Can’t she survive this night?
She had only been in Liujia Village for a short time, and the total time she had spent with Liu Ji during this period was actually not very long, so she didn't know much about how the couple got along.
But I also know vaguely that my master is very respectful to my lady.
As for why he was so respectful, I think it was because the lady was extremely powerful.
But, from the tone of those young masters and young ladies just now, why did they want to kill us?
Seeing that Li looked frightened, the four brothers and sisters patted her wrists to comfort her.
Dalang also comforted her seriously, "It's okay, Aunt Li, you don't have to worry too much. Considering the benefits that Daddy's current status can bring, Mommy won't take his life for the time being."
"But." The young man changed the subject and frowned, "If Dad were to commit suicide, it would be hard to say."
"But Aunt Li, don't worry. Go back to your room and have a rest. Xiao Laifu is still waiting for you to cook dinner for him." Dalang said with a smile.
The little boy looks so strong.
Li: “.”
"Aunt Li, see you tomorrow morning." The twins waved their hands obediently.
Erlang personally saw her out, and then slammed the door shut to prevent anyone from getting hurt.
Li returned to the backyard in confusion and trembling with fear. Song Yu happened to come back from work, and she wanted to share with him the horrible news she had just heard from Dalang and his four siblings.
But before he could get the words out, Song Yu covered his mouth.
"Butler Awang and the master are back." Song Yu signaled his wife not to say anything, because he knew better than her how powerful the lady was.
After all, he was a ruthless man who chopped off thirty heads by himself.
The family of three huddled in the room, closed the doors and windows, stuffed their ears with cotton, ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
Little Lai Fu didn’t know what was going on at home. He just thought his parents’ behavior was very strange, and plugging their ears was also very funny.
That night, Old Man Liu and his son Liu Fei, who lived in the old house, were suddenly awakened from their sleep by a scream, but when they pricked up their ears, they heard nothing.
I just wanted to fall asleep again, but I felt uneasy and couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Meanwhile, in the Lotus Courtyard, Shitou actually heard a familiar scream coming from the north slope, which made his heart tremble.
The master and disciple who were playing chess in the room frowned at the same time, and Qi Xianguan asked Shitou whose scream was.
Shitou replied: "It's Master Ji."
Qi Xianguan didn't think much about it, but an intuition told him that Liu Ji must have put into practice the story of the chicken pecking at rice that he had told him.
Feeling uneasy, I stood up and prepared to go take a look.
But he was stopped by Gong Liangliao.
The old man gloated, "This kid has been so arrogant all the way, and he has even become more and more presumptuous towards his master. Let Yao Niang kill his prestige, so that he won't lose his sense of self-worth and become arrogant."
"But will there really be no casualties in this situation?" Qi Xianguan was extremely worried and kept looking towards the north slope.
"No." Gong Liangliao said firmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the screams suddenly disappeared. The entire village fell silent, with only the chirping of insects and birds coming from the mountains.
Qi Xianguan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He only screamed twice. Junior brother should be fine, right? (End of this chapter)
