Chapter 20 Birthmark 5 She not only wants his guilt, but also his pity...
Su He's question was really explosive.
Not to mention the relationship between brothers and sisters, even between father and daughter, there are times when they need to avoid suspicion.
Li Jianye was a son of a concubine. He was already old enough to dance with an elephant when he entered the mansion, but he could clearly know the shape of the birthmark on his sister's back, which made people think a lot.
Everyone in the room looked at Li Jianye.
Especially Li Taian, anger was already welling up in his eyes.
Last time, this bastard said that his sister was trying to seduce him. I wonder what kind of shocking excuse he will come up with today.
Seeing her son embarrassed, He Manyun hurried forward to smooth things over: "Jianye, of course, listened to me. Lili's desire to remove her birthmark is no secret in the Li family, right?"
She still had a smile on her face, and her trembling eyes showed both tentativeness and guilt.
Su He looked at her solemnly. "It's no secret in the Li family that I want to remove my birthmark, but no one knows the exact location of my birthmark unless they're close to me. I'm afraid even you, mother, don't know. But just now, my eldest brother accurately pointed out that my birthmark is on the left side of my back, on the butterfly bone. How could he have said that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes?"
The words "witnessed it with my own eyes" are truly horrifying.
He Manyun paused, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Li Jianye, who was standing next to him, stiffened his neck and replied, "I heard it from Mrs. Wen."
Su He asked again: "Then why did you go to see Mrs. Wen?"
Li Jianye's eyes were filled with panic, but he quickly calmed himself down: "Of course it is...of course it's because she is dying. After all, she is also an elder in the mansion."
"I didn't know that big brother has become so kind."
Su He said calmly, "But the truth is, I'm afraid that Big Brother already knew about my birthmark before he went to see Mrs. Wen, right?"
Li Jianye vehemently denied: "You're talking nonsense."
"Big brother knows whether I'm talking nonsense or not."
Su He approached him, his eyes still flashing with light moisture, but his gaze was as sharp as an arrow: "Why do you dare to do some things but not admit them, brother?"
Li Jianye gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me what I have done that I dare not admit."
Su He also gritted her teeth and said, "Ever since my eldest brother came into the mansion, he often sneaked into Yixiangyuan to watch me bathing, so he knew the exact location of the birthmark on my back."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.
Like the calm before a bomb explodes.
Li Taian and He Manyun were stunned at the same time, as if they were in a nightmare.
Even the servants were shocked and secretly clicked their tongues. Although the young master of the Li family did not look like a good person, no one expected him to be so absurd.
Xie Wuhen was the first to react. He stepped forward, pulled Su He behind him, and said to Li Jianye in a cold voice, "I didn't expect you to be such a person."
He pronounced the word "thing" in a low and deep voice.
Li Jianye was stunned for only a moment, then he jumped up and cursed: "Li Shuli, you are a mad dog that bites people. When did I ever peek at you taking a bath?"
He was really wronged this time. He knew about the birthmark because he had an incestuous relationship with Li Shuli, and it was Li Shuli who seduced him. Moreover, it happened in broad daylight every time. He was not blind, so he could see it at a glance.
But he couldn't tell the truth about this matter, because if he did, he would be ruined.
However, she was sure that he couldn't tell the truth, so she framed him to death.
Su He asked back, "Would I risk my own reputation to wrongly accuse Big Brother?"
Li Jianye panted: "Aren't you doing this now?"
Su He ignored him and turned to look at Li Taian: "Father, do you still remember that time when my eldest brother was unconscious in Feihong Pavilion?"
Li Taian was still overwhelmed by various emotions and was still a little slow to react: "Of course... I remember."
Su He admitted, "That time, it was indeed me who lured Big Brother to Feihong Pavilion and knocked him out."
He Manyun woke up as if from a dream and took the opportunity to bite back, "It really is you, Lili. You refused to admit it at first, and even cried and acted in front of your father and me. This is your biological brother. He got sick because he caught a cold that night at Feihong Pavilion. Lili, Lili, why did you develop such a cruel heart at such a young age? You've caused my son so much pain."
After she said that, she began to cry as usual.
Su He's expression remained unchanged: "Mother, do you know why I led my eldest brother to Feihong Pavilion?"
He Manyun stopped crying, looked up at her, and asked, "Why?"
At that time, Li Jianye was also looking at her fiercely, watching how she would perform tricks.
Xie Wuhen and Li Taian were also looking at her.
Su He spoke in a resounding voice, "Because my eldest brother wanted to force me to do something immoral, I had no choice but to lure him to Feihong Pavilion so that I could escape without being noticed."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was in disbelief.
The air was deathly silent.
If "peek at someone bathing" is a shotgun, then "wanting to do something immoral" is a real bullet, its momentum is overwhelming and destructive, shocking everyone so much that they can't recover.
Although the Li family is not a famous family, they have been officials for generations. If such a scandal happened and it were to be spread out, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?
Li Jianye was so angry that he started coughing violently, and said while coughing: "You...you are talking nonsense, you...bitch." It was obviously that little bitch who seduced him first, why is she acting like an innocent person now?
Li Taian staggered, his face as pale as paper, as if he had suffered a major blow.
Xie Wuhen secretly clenched his fists, his eyes as cold as ice.
Only Zhang Xiuhua silently stood up from the ground and retreated to the corner.
Her heart finally settled down, her lady was going to win.
Su He ignored Li Jianye's insults and continued, "Big brother has been repeatedly unsuccessful, so he holds a grudge against me. That's why he repeatedly sets up traps to frame me, saying I'm a fake Li Shuli and a murderer. His goal is nothing more than to ruin my reputation and leave me with nowhere to go, unable to return to my parents' home, and unable to settle down in my husband's family."
Her words were powerful, well-reasoned and convincing.
In this way, she has completely gotten rid of the doubts about her identity.
Li Jianye was so angry that he was about to explode: "You bitch...you bitch..."
After cursing, he quickly explained to Li Taian: "Father, don't believe this bitch. She is lying. There is not a single word of truth in her mouth."
Li Taian finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Li Jianye hard in the face in public.
He has lost all his face today, and the Li family's reputation has also been lost.
He pointed at Li Jianye and said, "You rebellious son, I will beat you to death today." After saying that, he picked up the official hat chair next to him and was about to smash it at Li Jianye.
He Manyun hurriedly grabbed him, crying and begging for mercy: "Master, Ye'er is your eldest son. No matter how wrong he is, he is still a member of the Li family. How could you have the heart to kill him?"
Li Jianye continued to argue: "Mother, I am not wrong. It was this little bitch who seduced me in the first place, and now she is throwing dirty water on me."
Li Taian was furious: "You rebellious son, you are still talking nonsense here. Let me see how I will deal with you today." He put down his official hat chair and tried to find a more handy tool, but he looked around and couldn't find one.
Su He also stepped forward to persuade: "Father, don't be upset, your health is more important."
Li Taian slowed down, tears flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed them.
He said from the bottom of his heart: "This family...has really wronged you, Li'er."
Then he looked at Xie Wuhen and said, "From now on, Li'er will be left to Wuhen."
Xie Wuhen stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I will protect my wife. However, judging from today's situation, it is better for the Xie and Li families to have less contact."
Li Taian was stunned for a moment, then softened his tone: "What do you mean, Wuhen?"
He quickly promised, "Don't worry, this rebellious son will never dare to harass Li'er again."
Xie Wuhen chuckled and shook his head: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the eldest son of the Li family has a bad character and behaves violently. If this person were to take charge of the Li family in the future, I'm afraid it would decline from now on. Naturally... there's no need to have any further contact with him."
These words undoubtedly hit Li Taian's heart.
It undoubtedly hit the soft spots of He Manyun and Li Jianye.
Li Jianye's face was filled with anger: "It's not the turn of an outsider to interfere in the affairs of my Li family."
Li Taian shouted, "How dare you."
Li Jianye then fell silent.
Xie Wuhen said calmly, "It's not my turn to interfere in the affairs of the Li family. The final decision still lies with my father-in-law."
Li Taian smiled and said, "Wuhen is being too polite."
Su He took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "Father, you don't only have my eldest brother as your son now. Isn't Mingze almost one year old?"
As she spoke, she looked at Yue Niang, who was silently holding the child in the corner. "If Aunt Yue agrees, you can send Mingze to my mother's name. In this way, Mingze will also be a legitimate son. In this way, he can also become the head of the Li family in the future."
Aunt Yue's face lit up with joy when she heard this.
He Manyun's face suddenly fell, this was digging into her foundation.
She suppressed her anger and said, "Lili's mother passed away a long time ago. How can a dead person raise a child?"
Su He replied: "Even though my mother is dead, I am still alive. I recognize Mingze as my biological brother. Mingze is my mother's child."
He Manyun sneered: "I am the living mistress of the Li family. This matter has no place in my head, right?"
Su He also smiled: "You just said that you are only the mistress of the Li family, and the real head of the Li family is my father." She looked at Li Taian and said: "What do you think, father?"
Li Taian has been doting on Yue Niang and her son recently, and he was delighted to hear this.
He glanced at He Manyun, not caring about her for a moment, and said casually: "This method is very good. Later, Li'er will take Mingze to kowtow in front of Suyun's spirit tablet. That way, it will be considered as a visit."
Suyun was Guo's maiden name.
He Manyun's eyes went dark and she almost fell down.
She tugged at Li Taian's sleeve and burst into tears, "Master, you can't treat us like this. I waited for many years before finally letting Ye'er enter the Li family ancestral hall. You can't be so cruel as to kick him away."
Li Taian was impatient: "When did I kick Ye'er away? He is still the eldest son of my Li family."
He Manyun persisted, "But the master made a bastard son the legitimate son. This clearly shows that he has lost hope in Ye'er."
Li Taian pulled back his sleeve and said, "Don't make random guesses here."
He Manyun collapsed to the ground, crying tears and snot.
At this time, Li Jianye did not argue or dispute, and did not care at all.
Anyway, he has nothing now, and even if he dies, he will definitely take someone with him.
Li Jianye looked at Su He with a gloomy expression, and said sternly, "Remember this: as long as I'm alive, I will never let you go."
Xie Wuhen continued: "Then you try it."
He also spoke in a cold tone, with murderous intent emanating from his brows.
The two men looked at each other solemnly.
After a moment, Li Jianye gritted his teeth and turned to leave the main hall.
When we came out of Li's house, it was already dark.
Zhang Xiuhua still felt her legs go weak. When she reached the place where she was separated from the others, she couldn't help but whisper to Su He, "Fortunately, the young master of the Li family didn't know about the bone shaping, otherwise it would have been bad."
Su He breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, indeed not many people know that humans can reshape bones."
Except for her mother Su Xueer!
Several people got on the carriage one after another.
Xie Wuhen lit the glass lamp in the car, and a bean of light filled the car.
Under the light, his handsome features were incredibly gentle, and he asked softly, "Does the wound on your back hurt?"
She replied: "Don't worry, my husband, it won't hurt."
He reached out to hold her, but was afraid of touching the wound on her back, so he had to withdraw his hand.
He then asked, "Did I hurt you when I held you this morning?"
She shook her head and smiled slightly: "My husband is a gentle person, he didn't hurt me."
Wu Sheng outside the carriage cracked the whip, and the carriage sped through the darkness towards Xie's mansion.
As soon as he returned to the house, Xie Wuhen closed the door and said with concern, "Let me see your injury."
She said "OK", then walked to the light and took off her clothes one by one.
Wasn't today's thrilling struggle just to defeat this opponent? She not only wanted his guilt, she also wanted his pity...
