Chapter 74: One



Whenever Lin thought about her precious son, who was carrying her lifelong wish, performing rituals for others in mourning, she felt like a knife was stabbing her chest and she wouldn't listen to anyone.

She patted the edge of the bed and yelled at Li Jun like a shrew who had been cheated out of three cents: "I won't drink. Go and call your brother back! Tell him that I'm dying and want him to come back to take care of me!"

How is this possible?

The Pei family acted as guarantors, the Li clan agreed, and all the important people in Lin'an City were watching, so how could his brother go back on his word!

Li Jun's mouth was full of bitterness, and he coaxed his mother in a low voice: "Mom, please drink this medicine first. After you drink the medicine, I will go find my brother!"

"You go now!" Lin had been fooled before and would not trust Li Jun again. "You must find your brother first and then I will take the medicine."

The two of them were stuck there.

Lin scolded Li Jun for being unfilial and asked him to exchange Li Duan back.

Li Jun lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

From the main room of the Li family, the sound of Lin crying and screaming could be heard from time to time.

Yu Tang stood in front of the large desk in his study, carefully examining the painting "Fishing in Songxi" that was spread out on the desk.

Originally, in order to get rid of the Yu family, she was going to give this painting to the Li family.

But now, she doesn't want to!

It was impossible for the Li family to get away with killing Wei Xiaoshan unscathed.

Yu Tang sneered.

The hatred of the two lives has come to this moment.

If she can't avenge herself, what kind of person is she?

The Li family had spent so much effort and paid such a high price, so they had to find a way to get the painting back sooner or later. She wanted to take revenge on the Li family, but the premise was that she couldn't drag the Yu family into it. The best way was to "send" the painting to the Li family as before, but no one could guarantee that the painting would still contain the original content.

But now there is a dilemma.

When she was restoring the painting, she had not thought about it yet. If she wanted to change the content hidden in the painting, she would have to reframe it. Not many people have such skills, and this matter also involves some secrets, which can easily implicate others. Master Qian left Hangzhou again, and the simplest solution became the most difficult one.

She had to find another way!

Yu Tang stayed in the study for several days until Mrs. Wei came to visit her home and thanked her for Wei Xiaoshan. Only then did she put the matter aside and went to talk to Mrs. Wei.

"I've heard about Xiaoshan from our grandfather and Xiaochuan." Mrs. Wei held Yu Tang's hand tightly, her face full of gratitude. "If it weren't for you, your Xiaoshan would have passed away in such an unclear way. I have given birth to all sons, and I love daughters the most. If you don't mind, just treat me as the elder of the family and come to visit me in the countryside when you are free." When she said this, tears were about to fall.

Yu Tang already felt guilty towards Wei Xiaoshan, and upon hearing this, he looked towards Chen.

Whenever Chen thought of this, she always felt as if it was God's will that their two families would eventually come together. Her daughter was her treasure, and she didn't want her daughter to call anyone "godfather" or "godmother." However, she couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes as she nodded slightly to her daughter and said, "Mrs. Wei, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I've been too busy these days and I haven't been able to take care of it for the time being. If you don't mind, let's become god sisters and let our daughter recognize you as her aunt."

Mrs. Wei had not originally expected Yu Tang to acknowledge her as a godparent, but after hearing what Mrs. Chen said, how could she not agree?

The two adults happily became sworn sisters. Yu Tang changed her name to call Mrs. Wei "aunt". The two families held a formal recognition banquet. Mrs. Wei gave Yu Tang money for changing her name, and Mrs. Chen also gave money to several boys in the Wei family for changing their names. The two families were lively for the whole day.

Only Mr. Wei privately complained to Mrs. Wei: "Why bother to arrange a godparent relationship? In a few years, maybe we can let Ah Tang marry into our family!"

Mrs. Wei said, "Pah!" to Mr. Wei, "How could I not know what you are planning? Xiaochuan is too young, what if they don't like each other? Don't let good relatives become enemies. You should listen to me on this matter."

Mr. Wei kept silent and discussed with Mrs. Wei about Li Jun's gift to the Yu family: "He said he would come to the Yu family tomorrow. Should we go and support the Yu family?"

They have many sons.

"Of course we have to go!" Mrs. Wei said without thinking, "Why did I marry into the Yu family in the first place? It was because Mr. Yu is a real man and we can't let him down. If the Li family comes to give the Yu family gifts and says something unpleasant, we can stand there and dispel the rumors on the spot, so that Atang will not do a good thing and get herself involved."

Because she was kidnapped because her marriage failed, it would not sound good no matter how she told it to others. Mrs. Wei was afraid that the Li family would make trouble, but it was not groundless worry or fantasy.

Mr. Wei thought what Mrs. Wei said made sense.

The next day, Mr. Wei took his sons to the Yu family.

Li Duan had already finished the ritual for Wei Xiaoshan by this time. People in Lin'an City were talking about all kinds of things, but the most talked about thing was that Li Duan was indeed the most promising son of the Li family. Not only was he broad-minded, but he was also responsible as a hostage. He performed the rituals of a nephew in the Wei family because of the mistakes made by his servants. He was an upright gentleman and someone who could accomplish great things.

His reputation rose instead of being damaged.

As soon as Yu Tang heard it, he knew that someone from the Li family was guiding public opinion.

This is exactly the same as what the Li family did in their previous life.

When Li Jun came to the Yu family to apologize, Yu Tang was on guard against the Li family. He asked the Qu brothers to invite a few helpers to hang around in advance. If anyone said something unfavorable to the Yu family, he would defend them immediately. Who knew that the Wei brothers came together. The tall and strong boys stood at the door of the Yu family, and fewer people talked. Only Li Jun, with a red face, kowtowed three times to Yu Wen at the door of the Yu family, as a token of his apology.

Yu Wen had a good impression of Li Jun to begin with, and since these things had nothing to do with Li Jun, he didn't want to let Li Jun take the blame for the Li family. After Li Jun kowtowed three times, he helped Li Jun up, told him to "be more cautious in the future", and invited Li Jun back to the house for tea. Not only did he not embarrass him, he even let him down the stairs.

Li Jun was flattered and followed Yu Wen into the house in a daze.

People in Lin'an City couldn't help but spread the word that the Yu family was generous and kind.

Yu Wen didn't keep Li Jun for long. He drank some tea, made some gestures, and then sent Li Jun out.

Li Jun said goodbye timidly and walked out the door, but was stopped by Yu Tang.

She asked, "Do you still ride a horse these days?"

Li Jun looked at her still cute face, his heart aching, and said with a wry smile: "I have been busy lately, where is the time to ride a horse!"

That's good.

Let’s keep things separate.

Yu Tang said, "Then you should stay at home and cultivate your mind and character. After something like this happens, your family will definitely be in chaos for a while."

Li Jun nodded, but thought in his heart: Instead of caring about me so much and rubbing salt into my heart, it would be better for you to glare at me when you see me and make me give up.
