Chapter 59: Torn



The words of the two refugees shocked not only Yu Tang and Wei Xiaochuan, but also the two brothers of the Qu family.

The Qu brothers knew that the Li family had secretly spread the word that they were looking for two disobedient refugees, but this was a secret of their clients and they would never tell a third party. Unexpectedly, these two people had no scruples at all and just spilled the beans without any cover-up, and directly threatened the Wei family.

It can be seen that these two people are at the end of their rope and are determined to bite the Li family before they die.

Wei Xiaochuan was so angry that his forehead was throbbing.

He had never met such a shameless person.

He actually wanted to drag Yu Tang into this for his own selfish interests.

Originally, he and Yu Tang had agreed that if these two men really killed Wei Xiaoshan as they expected, they would send them to the government office and let them fight with the Li family.

But now we can’t do that.

His second brother has passed away, and he can't let the living Yu Tang get hurt again.

But he was still young after all, not calm enough when faced with things, and couldn't come up with more ideas.

He walked forward angrily, kicked the two refugees hard, and shouted: "Well, we will hand you over to the Li family. The two elder brothers of the Qu family can still accept some money from the Li family. I want to see what good you can get if you fall into the hands of the Li family?" After he finished speaking, he asked the Qu brothers: "Two elder brothers, you should still be able to accept money from the Li family, right?"

The reason why the Li family didn't even give a deposit was because they were more optimistic about other gangs and didn't trust them very much. If they could find these two refugees before other gangs, their reputation in the gang would be even higher, and they might even be able to get in touch with the Li family and do business with them.

However, both of them felt that honesty was more important, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang who was hiding behind the flower wall.

The one who asked the two brothers to do the job was this young lady from the Yu family.

Yu Tang's heart was moved after hearing what Wei Xiaochuan said.

In her previous life, in order to leave the Li family, she carefully understood the Li family. Later, she was able to leave the Li family by taking advantage of the complicated relationships of the Li family.

Li Duan's family is the direct descendant of the Li family, but not the patriarchal branch. Their family started to become prominent from Li Duan's grandfather. Perhaps because they were suppressed too much by the Pei family, Li Duan's grandfather wanted to emulate the old lady of the Pei family, not only to become one of the most powerful families in Lin'an City, but also to become the patriarchal branch of the Li family.

In the previous life, because of the success of Li Duan's branch in Fujian maritime business, Li Duan's branch became the richest and most powerful branch of the Li family. When the twelfth uncle of the Li family passed away, Li Duan's father Li Yi suppressed the twelfth uncle's son Li He and became the main branch of the Li family.

Yu Tang left the Li family because he took advantage of Li He's dissatisfaction with Li Yi.

This time, can they also make use of these members of the Li family?

Yu Tang called Wei Xiaochuan and the Qu brothers to talk: "Prefect Tang is not a person who likes to be in charge of things. Even if we send them to the government office, the Li family will come forward to say hello to Prefect Tang, and all the things will be pushed onto these two people, and the Li family will naturally be unscathed. I think Xiaochuan's idea is good, we will hand them over to the Li family. However, we will not hand them over to Li Yi's family, but to Li He's family. It's just that the two Qu brothers will suffer a little, and I'm afraid they won't get the reward from Li Duan. However, I will do my best to compensate you for your losses."

Wei Xiaochuan didn't know about the Li family's affairs, but the Qu brothers who were there to help knew it very well.

The main branch of the Li family has been dissatisfied with Li Yi's branch for a long time. However, because the main branch has only produced one scholar in these years, they have to rely on Li Yi's branch to endure many things.

After hearing what Yu Tang said, the Qu brothers looked at Yu Tang differently.

They are people who make a living by observing people's words and expressions and assessing the situation. The young lady of the Yu family not only dared to ask them to help catch people, but also dared to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth and provoke the Li family. Apart from anything else, just based on this courage, she will never be an ordinary person in the future.

They like to deal with people like this the most - if they are courageous, they will not be content with being ordinary; if they are not content with being ordinary, they will struggle; if they struggle, they will need people like them to help them do some shady things.

This Miss Yu is still young, and they have heard that the Yu family is going to find a son-in-law for her, so that she can be the head of the family in the future. A friendship that starts from the humblest beginning is the longest lasting one.

The two brothers exchanged glances and immediately decided to give Yu Tang a good deal.

"A servant should not serve two masters, and a woman should not marry two husbands." The head of the Qu family said, "Since we have accepted Miss Yu's business, we will not change our ways. There is no need for compensation. Just do whatever Miss Yu says!"

Yu Tang didn't expect that the Qu brothers were easier to talk to than in his previous life.

Is it because they don't have the reputation they once had and that's why they don't have much business?

She didn't think much about it, nor did she pretend to be generous. She knelt down and thanked the Qu brothers, saying, "I can only repay you for your kindness later."

The Qu brothers turned around and avoided Yu Tang's gift.

The second son of the Qu family looked at the young lady who was still in a deep house and the boy who was just a pigtail in front of him, and his heart softened for some reason. He reminded Yu Tang: "Miss Yu, you still have to be careful. Li He may not be willing to offend Li Duan for a little profit."

Without sufficient benefits, how could the Li family be willing to give up Li Duan, who is already a powerful figure and can reap benefits immediately.

Yu Tang thanked the Qu brothers again and said tactfully: "I will ask my master to come forward."

The Yu family is not as powerful as the Li family. So what if an adult comes forward?

As the brainy one of the two brothers, the second oldest of the Qu family felt that Yu Tang was still a little naive. However, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and if she is not frustrated, this young lady of the Yu family will not know how difficult the road in this world is. It is better to let her hit the wall.

The Qu brothers said nothing more. They followed Yu Tang's instructions, took the two refugees away, and hid them for two days before handing them over to Li He.

Wei Xiaochuan was puzzled, but he trusted Yu Tang very much.

If it weren't for Yu Tang, he would never have discovered that there was something strange about his second brother's death, nor would he have been able to catch the murderer.

So he waited until the Qu brothers left before asking Yu Tang: "Sister, do we really need to ask Uncle Yu to come forward?"

He was a student, and he studied in the county school. He knew the thresholds between educated families better than anyone else.

A scholar must give up his seat to a man who is holding a chair, no matter how old he is or what generation he belongs to.

Similarly, when a judge sees a Jinshi, he has to bow his head.

Yu Wen is just a scholar.

In addition to the procurators, the Li family also had Jinshi.

Yu Tang smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, looking indescribably gentle and pretty, but what he said was not gentle at all: "Of course, things have developed to this point, and it is no longer a matter of our family. Officials are protecting each other, and the government must be perfunctory. Of course, we have to find someone who can take charge of our family to fight this lawsuit."

Wei Xiaochuan became even more confused.

He touched his head.

Yu Tang's smile became gentler: "The reason why Lin'an City is so peaceful today is not because of the prefect who serves for three years, but because of the Pei family in Xiaomei Lane."

"That's right!" Wei Xiaochuan was so excited that he almost jumped up. "Why didn't I think of that! Magistrate Tang favors the Li family, so we should ask the Pei family to help us mediate. The Pei family is a kind-hearted family, and they are the most fair in their actions. If the magistrate doesn't do anything, the Pei family will definitely do it. They won't sit idly by and watch the Li family slaughter innocent people like this."

Yu Tang nodded and said, "You know why I asked the Qu brothers to hide the two refugees for two days, right? Wait until the elders in our family have agreed, and then bring out the evidence. Otherwise, the two refugees will be killed by Li Duan to silence them."

Wei Xiaochuan nodded repeatedly, but then he wilted like vegetables that have been boiled in water.

Yu Tang thought he was thinking of Wei Xiaoshan and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In any case, Wei Xiaoshan died because of her.

How could she feel good about it!

Yu Tang gently touched Wei Xiaochuan's head and said softly, "Aren't you on holiday today? Come to my house for a cup of tea! Our two families are relatives now. You can also go visit my brother. He is a very good person. When your cousin marries, my brother will definitely treat her well."

Wei Xiaochuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go out and play. I want to go back and study."

Yu Tang couldn't stop him, so he said, "Then come to my house and have a seat. I'll ask Ah Tiao to hire a sedan chair for you and take you back."

Wei Xiaochuan nodded lightly, and went to visit Yu Wen and Chen with Yu Tang. She just said that Wei Xiaochuan was just passing by, and she asked him to come back and sit for a while.

Mrs. Chen originally liked the clean and tidy Wei Xiaochuan, and now that the two families were going to be in-laws, she liked Wei Xiaochuan even more. She hurriedly asked Mrs. Chen to buy some snacks and fruits for Wei Xiaochuan to take back to the Wei family: "Give them to your mother, your sister-in-law, and your cousin to taste." She also instructed him, "If you have clothes to wash, send someone to bring a message, and I will ask Mrs. Chen to help you wash them. If the weather is bad during the holiday, you can stay at home. If you don't understand any homework, come and ask your uncle Yu." After saying this, she felt that the child was too young and shy. No matter how much she said, the child would only take it as a polite remark. So she simply said, "Oh, look at me, why am I telling you all this. I will ask your brother Yuan to take you back and tell your mother a message."

Wei Xiaochuan quickly stood up and thanked him respectfully.

Chen asked Ah Tiao to call back Yu Yuan who was busy in Changxing Street, and when the hired carriage arrived, she asked him to personally send Wei Xiaochuan back to Wei's home.

Yu Tang pulled his father into the study and told Yu Wen everything about his and Wei Xiaochuan's investigation of the Li family.

Yu Wen was so scared that his face turned pale. He wanted to interrupt Yu Tang several times while she was talking, but he held back because he was afraid that he would say something that would hurt his daughter. After Yu Tang finally explained everything, he was furious and said, "Do you still care about your father and brother? Such a big thing happened, but you didn't tell anyone. You took Xiaochuan, a child who can't even dance with a spoon, to do such a dangerous thing. It seems that I am too used to you. From today on, you stay at home and don't go anywhere before you finish writing 50,000 characters."

Yu Tang knew that what he did was wrong and listened to the instructions obediently.

Her family members didn't know that she was reborn, nor did they know that she had struggled alone in the Li family for seven or eight years, and had suffered much more than ordinary people. Her behavior in this life was paid for with blood and tears, and even her life in her previous life. She didn't dare to do anything that would hurt her family.

My father would definitely be worried when he heard about this.

She bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Dad, I will never do this again. I will study hard and write big characters at home."
