Wei Xiaochuan didn't know whether Pei Yan was unfair or not, but he knew that if the Li family hadn't done it, and it was someone else, they wouldn't have to ask anyone for help, they could just report it to the government office. It wouldn't be like this now. Even if they asked Pei Yan to be the middleman, the real murderer might not be brought to justice in the end.

This incident had a huge impact on the little Wei Xiaochuan.

He wiped his face carelessly with Yu Tang's handkerchief. Ever since he knew that his second brother's death was related to the Li family but he had no way to take revenge, the emotions that he had been suppressing in his heart intentionally or unintentionally now erupted like a volcano.

"Sister," he clenched his fists, his eyes red, and whispered to Yu Tang, "I will definitely become a Jinshi, pass the imperial examination, and enter the Hanlin Academy. I will never let anyone bully us again!"

Yu Tang was shocked when he saw Wei Xiaochuan, whose expression suddenly became gloomy.

This child is possessed by a demon!

Just like in her previous life when she began to suspect that the Yu family's experience was related to the Li family, what she hated the most was not even the Li family, but herself for being deceived.

If she hadn't met someone who was kind enough to help her later, she might have hated this world and everyone in it like Wei Xiaochuan does now.

She quickly hugged Wei Xiaochuan in her arms and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay. We'll take it slow. As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't be anxious, think about your father, your mother, and your brother and sister-in-law. We can't make ourselves unhappy for a scumbag. Otherwise, even if we take revenge, it will make our enemies laugh."

Yu Tang knew that if she advised Wei Xiaochuan not to seek revenge at this time, it would only make Wei Xiaochuan feel dissatisfied, which would be even more harmful. It is better to guide than to block. Instead of blocking him at this time, it is better to go along with him first, wait until his wounds are healed, and then find an opportunity to persuade him.

Wei Xiaochuan's expression brightened after hearing this. He said, "I know. Don't worry, sister. I won't make my loved ones sad and my enemies happy."

It's good enough if you can listen to her advice.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I'll ask someone to fetch some water for you to wash your face, and then we'll go see your father together so he doesn't worry."

She also wants to thank the Wei family for forgiving her.

Although she has not forgiven herself yet, she is even more unwilling to make the elders worry because of the trouble she has caused.

Wei Xiaochuan nodded, washed his face again with Yu Tang, and calmed down. The two of them went to the hall as if nothing had happened.

Master Wei and Yu Wen were discussing meeting Pei Yan. When they entered, they heard Yu Wen saying, "Master Pei San agreed to be our go-between the day after tomorrow morning. The Li family asked Master Wu next door to help. He is quite a man of the world and has a good relationship with the Li family. I have already sent someone to contact Master Wu and I think there should be news soon. Do you want to rest here or wait for Master Wu's reply before making any plans?"

"I have nothing to worry about, brother." Old Master Wei said in a deep voice. His expression was somewhat sad but his eyes were full of energy. It was obvious that he had temporarily put aside the pain of losing his son and was focusing on how to avenge his dead son. "Which of the country gentlemen have you invited?"

Yu Wen reported the names one by one.

Mr. Wei thought it was a good idea and said, "Let's do it this way! I'll go with you then."

Seeing that the two had almost finished talking, Yu Tang finally had the opportunity to step forward and thank Master Wei.

There was finally a hint of tenderness on Mr. Wei's face. He spoke a few words to Yu Tang in a gentle manner, and Yu Tang retreated.

When Yu Yuan heard that Master Wei had arrived, he hurried over to pay his respects to his uncle.

Mr. Wei was very satisfied with this marriage and smiled more often when talking to Yu Yuan.

Yu Wen felt better, and invited Master Wei to stay for dinner. He said to Master Wei apologetically, "My eldest brother went to Nanchang Prefecture and wants to invite a group of lacquerware masters to come over. I can't drink with you today, so I'll let Ayuan toast you on behalf of his father."

Master Wei asked curiously, "Isn't the original master going to work anymore?"

Generally, craftsmen will not easily leave their employers unless there are major conflicts with them. Because when you look for another employer, people will usually ask you why you left your previous employer, whether it is because of your character problems, or because of your poor craftsmanship, etc.

Sometimes a word from your former employer can make you lose your next job.

Yu Wen said: "The original master worked in my family for his whole life, but he didn't want to do it anymore. After the store went bankrupt, he took the opportunity to resign and returned home. Several young masters didn't want to stay in Lin'an City because of this incident, and those who stayed couldn't take charge, so we had to find a way to find a master who could take over."

Mr. Wei thought for a moment and said, "Why not let A-Yuan go out and try his luck after he gets married? After all, my father-in-law is still young, and household affairs can be completely handed over to him. This way, A-Yuan can also test his abilities, and my father-in-law won't have to bear such a heavy burden and hire so many masters."

Yu Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Wei family would be willing to let Yu Yuan use Miss Xiang's dowry after getting married.

He knew that this was out of kindness on the part of the Wei family, and that Miss Xiang grew up in the Wei family. Mr. Wei was also a very disciplined person, and he must have agreed to this if he dared to say so.

But this is a matter between Yu Yuan and his wife, and it is not his turn as an uncle to express his opinion.

"Let them discuss it themselves after they get married." Yu Wen said.

Yu Yuan's neck turned red.

The attendant of Master Wu came to visit Yu Wen and said, "Our master said that everything you asked us to do has been done. We must meet under the old camphor tree at the entrance of Xiaomei Lane at 1:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow to visit the Pei family. Our master should have come to tell you this in person, but our master was kept at home by Master Du for a drink. He was afraid that you were anxiously waiting for a reply, so he asked me to come and tell you first, Master Yu, and then talk to you in detail after our master comes back."

Mr. Du was one of the country gentlemen they invited to serve as witnesses this time.

Yu Wen thanked the attendant, gave him some silver, and asked Ah Tiao to accompany him for tea while he continued to talk to Master Wei: "You can rest assured for now. The Li family has agreed to go with us to the Pei family to seek justice."

The most frightening thing about looking for a middleman to judge is that the other party will not come.

Therefore, this middleman must have weight so that the other party will not want to offend him easily.

Master Wei sighed and said, "I really have to thank Master Pei San this time. I have a century-old ginseng in my collection. I'll take it to thank Master San when the time comes!"

Yu Wen really wanted to say that Master Pei San might not accept it, but thinking that this was the intention of the Wei family, he swallowed the words. The two of them discussed in detail what they should say when they met Pei Yan and the people from the Li family.

Yu Tang waited until Mr. Wei and his son said goodbye before going to see his father.

"Dad," she begged Yu Wen, "please take me with you when the time comes!"

She wondered what the Li family would say that day.

This life is very different from the previous life. The Li family has revealed a sinister face at this time. Will they be defeated halfway?

She really wanted to know and see it with her own eyes.

Yu Wen felt that such a scene was rare to see, and it would be good for Yu Tang to go with him to see the world.

He pondered and said, "You can go, but you can't talk, walk around or move around."

Yu Tang thought he would have to give a long speech to convince his father, but he was delighted when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will follow you closely and not draw attention to you."

Yu Wen nodded.

Yu Tang asked Yu Wen: "What should we do with the two refugees? Should we let the Qu brothers take them over when the time comes?"

In this way, the Qu brothers would be exposed, and they might not be willing to offend the Li family.

I have to ask the Qu brothers what they think.

Yu Wen said, "Don't worry about this. I have already told Tong Daguangui. He will send someone to take the two refugees to Pei's house in advance and will not give the Li family a chance to do anything."

Yu Tang felt relieved. On the appointed day, he dressed up as Yu Yuan's servant, lowered his head and followed Yu Wen and Yu Yuan, and went to Xiaomei Lane with Master Wu.

Because they were the invited guests, they arrived earlier, but Mr. Wei and Wei Xiaoyuan arrived earlier than them.

Yu Wen hurriedly introduced Mr. Wu to Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei thanked Mr. Wu gratefully.

Mr. Wu was a warm-hearted man. He grabbed Mr. Wei who was bowing to him, patted him on the shoulder generously, and said, "No need to be so polite. Mr. Yu and I have been neighbors for many years. He knows my personality and I love making friends. It's fate that we can know each other like this. Let's visit each other more often in the future."

Mr. Wei naturally agreed and invited Mr. Wu to visit the Wei family when he was free.

Mr. Wu agreed readily and asked about Mr. Wei's harvest this year.

As they were talking, the invited gentlemen arrived one after another.

People greeted each other.

No one noticed Yu Tang.

Yu Tang felt relieved and took the opportunity to get to know these people - these people were all well-known figures in Lin'an City, and who knew if they would need help in the future.

When the appointed time was almost approaching, people from the Li family arrived.

Because Li Yi was working as an official outside, the ones who came were Li Duan and Li Jun.

Master Wu frowned as he looked at Yu Wen, and whispered, "Didn't you invite anyone from the Li family?"

"Yes!" Yu Wen looked a little unhappy and said, "I went to invite them myself."

Master Wu looked unhappy and asked, "What do they mean? Don't they want to admit that they are members of the Li family?"

Logically, when something like this happened, it should be the Li clan's main branch that should step forward. The fact that Li Duan and Li Jun came like this means that either the Li clan's main branch did not take the matter seriously, or Li Duan's family did not respect the Li clan's main branch.

But before the two brothers came closer, Li He, supporting his father, the twelfth uncle of the Li clan, the patriarch of the Li clan, quickly appeared in Xiaomei Lane.

"Li Duan, wait for us." Li He panted and shouted loudly to brother Li Duan.

Li Duan turned around, looking a little unhappy, but he still stopped.

Those who came were all shrewd people. Once they saw this, they knew that the Li Duan family did not respect the royal family very much.

Several of the gentry began to discuss in low voices: "Just because a fourth-rank official was born, he has become so arrogant. Look at the Pei family, every branch has an official, but which branch dares not respect the ancestral branch!"

"Otherwise, how could the Pei family stand firm for several generations?"

Yu Tang listened, but his eyes fell on Li Jun.

But after not seeing him for more than ten days, Li Jun seemed like a different person. His face was haggard and his spirit was depressed, as if he was a tree without vitality, and he had aged more than ten years in an instant. He no longer had the cheerful look he once had.
