Chapter 70: Each has his own plan
From dawn to dusk, the day passed quickly.
In the following days, Lian Mingli would give lectures to everyone at the sand table every day. Although he was talking about the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the scope was quite broad.
Lian Jing and Lian Qin were so shocked from the first day that they couldn't even find their eyes from the ground until the end of the Thirty-Six Strategies.
Today is the second day after Lian Mingli finished explaining the Thirty-Six Strategies. The Lian family, who are used to keeping the courtyard door closed, kept it closed today as well.
What they didn't know was that Li Zi and the Ouyang family, who were paying special attention to them, actually set their sights on them at this moment.
Li Zi was there because the messenger brought back a personal letter from the King of the North, telling him that he could be more lenient with the Lian family, but did not mention a word about asking the Lian brothers to leave Yushan.
However, he was asked to be wary of the Ouyang family and not to cause any trouble.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Li Zi understood the meaning behind it. The Northern King meant for him to observe closely, and from then on, it would depend on the results of his observation.
After receiving the order, Li Zi decided to visit the Lian family. However, since the Lian family had been staying indoors recently, and it was winter, and the young lady from the Xu family was there, he did not send the guards to check on them.
Li Zi raised his eyes and walked out of the registration office with his hands behind his back.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, then turned back and called two guards over: "Has the Ouyang family made any moves recently?"
When the question about the Ouyang family came up, the two guards looked at each other, and then one of them frowned and replied, "Sir, speaking of the Ouyang family, they're always cursing in the yard, but it's all the same curses. I think there's something wrong with this family."
Hearing this, Li Zi, who was drinking water from a teacup, immediately stopped, looked up at him and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Yes, my lord."
Seeing Li Zi nod for him to continue, the man immediately continued, "These days, it has been that old lady Ouyang's voice, scolding her daughter-in-law."
"But the strange thing is, her daughter-in-law didn't say a word. From time to time, I could hear the voices of that family talking in the yard, but there was no voice of Ouyang Hui's daughter-in-law or one of the boys."
"Well, then Jiang and the young man have remained silent."
"Yes, my lord."
Hearing this, Li Zi turned to look at the other guard and said, "Tell me."
"Your Excellency, there is indeed no sound from Jiang and her youngest son. However, I have seen that young man carrying water back to the Ouyang family, and Jiang is still cooking every day, but I always feel like something has happened."
When Li Zi heard this, he pondered in his mind and asked the two: "Besides the cursing and swearing, has there been anything else unusual in the Ouyang family recently?"
The two men lowered their heads in thought for a moment, then raised their heads and asked in unison, "They seem to be planning something."
"That Ouyang Feilian seems to be injured. Ouyang Hui asked me to replace some of her medicine and inquire about the two people from the Lian family."
Hearing this, Li Zi snorted coldly: "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature. That's what Ouyang Hui is talking about. He's still thinking about plotting against the Lian family. But I don't understand why he wants to plot against Lian Jing, who is so weak and helpless."
One of them said suspiciously: "Sir, do you think Lian Jing is a threat to him?"
"Well, that's the only explanation. As for the truth of the matter, I guess only Ouyang Hui knows. Lian Jing, hehe, is still in the dark."
After saying this, Li Zi looked at the two of them seriously. "We've been told to keep a close eye on the Ouyang family. From now on, keep your eyes peeled and keep a close eye on them!"
"Yes, sir."
"Go ahead."
"Yes." The two of them bowed and left, while Li Zi lowered his head and thought carefully...
Ouyang family.
Ouyang Hui sat at the table, his right hand on the table, tapping it intermittently, his eyes looking at the half-open courtyard door, wondering what he was thinking about.
Ouyang Feilian limped over, leaning on a wooden stick, biting her lip and whispering, "Father, my daughter was attacked at night half a month ago. It must have been that kid from that family who did it."
"It's been half a month since my daughter was able to walk. Father, I can't swallow this."
Looking at his stubborn daughter, and then at her legs that took half a month to heal before she could walk again, his already gloomy eyes became even gloomier.
Then, he said coldly: "What if you can't swallow it? Can you prove that they were the ones who attacked you that night?"
"So what if I can, and so what if I can't, in Yushan, who else but them can dislike me? My daughter must avenge this with her own hands!"
Ouyang Hui wanted to say something, but seeing Ouyang Feilian's determined look, he suppressed the cold look in his eyes, replaced it with an expression of approval and said, "Well said. My daughter, Ouyang Hui, must be decisive like this."
Then he changed to a gentle tone: "Lian'er, you must take good care of your leg and don't fall again. Go back to the house and rest. Father knows this matter well and will not let my Lian'er suffer in vain."
"Father…"
"Go ahead and take good care of it. Once it's fully grown, we can get it back sooner."
Listening to Ouyang Hui's words, Ouyang Feilian felt that her father was truly wonderful. She had thought that since there had been no news for so long, she thought her father had given up on her, but she hadn't expected it to be...
The more Ouyang Feilian thought about it, the more she felt that her father loved her the most. She looked at her father with tears in her almond-shaped eyes and said in a soft voice, "My daughter will go back to her room and rest. Thank you for reminding me, father."
Looking at his daughter who looked 70% like him, Ouyang Hui nodded and said softly, "Go. Your father is responsible for this revenge."
"Um."
Looking at Ouyang Feilian who slowly left after responding, Ouyang Hui's eyes were a little dazed.
Although the daughter in front of me is 70% similar to me, her eyes are exactly the same as her mother's...
Thinking of the woman with eyes exactly like Ouyang Feilian, a hint of tenderness appeared on Ouyang Hui's cold face, but this tenderness did not last long before he put it away.
At this time, he looked gloomily in the direction of Lian Jing's family, thinking to himself: I didn't even deal with you on the way, and you found a backer as soon as you arrived in Yushan. It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Ouyang Hui didn't show any sign of anxiety. He felt that the person would definitely not forget him. It must be because the weather in Yushan was too cold, so the arrangements had to be adjusted...
Thinking of this, Ouyang Hui gnashed his teeth at Xu Yuzhu, muttering to himself, "That bitch Xu Yuzhu actually taught those brats martial arts. Otherwise, that family would have been wiped out long ago."
"They say people who have been in the military tend to be quite cunning, and it's true. This bitch usually acts like she doesn't care about anything, but now it seems she's just pretending. Humph!"
He became more and more angry as he spoke, and he raised his right hand and slammed it on the table.
The next second, with a "pop" sound, Ouyang Hui's right hand made close contact with the table, and then the sound of Ouyang Hui inhaling was heard...
