Chapter 112: If you complain, I will complain too. This attitude, coupled with Madam Tong...
This posture, coupled with the scars on Mrs. Tong's face as she dodged and dodged, made it obvious that it was Mrs. Li who started the fight first and she was the one who took advantage.
Qi Buchen raised an eyebrow secretly, looking at Madam Li, who seemed fearless even in the face of her, and said calmly, "So it's the residence of the First-Class Duke of Cheng'en, Hesheli. In that case, Madam Li, please leave. I will go to the Crown Princess to discuss compensation later."
Madam Li's expression froze for a moment, and she finally put away her careless expression. She stammered, "No, no, it's Mr. Tong's residence..."
"Third Master Tong?" Qi Buchen had a bad feeling in his heart. "Which Third Master Tong?"
Madam Li raised a smug expression and said, "Master Tong Sanye, Longkodo."
Qi Buchen forced himself not to curse. There was no way he was running away. This woman had to be Li Si'er! The concubine who had murdered his wife and turned her into a human pig was recorded in history books!
"How could this wife of mine remember that Master Tong's wife was from the Hesheli clan? How could this 'Madam Li' pop up?" Qi Buchen said expressionlessly. She had no good feelings towards Longkodo and Li Si'er, the eternal scumbag and his mistress. "Come here, this woman dares to impersonate an imperial lady. Give her twenty slaps in the face and send her to the Dali Temple!"
"You dare!" Li Si'er never expected that things would take such a sudden turn for the worse. The Fourth Lady actually wanted to punish her without saying a word.
She was originally the concubine of Longkodo's father-in-law. Later, she hooked up with Longkodo and followed him. Longkodo doted on her. When she first tried to frame Hesheli, Longkodo stood on her side. Later, she had the final say in Longkodo's backyard. Not only that, Longkodo did not restrict her from entering and leaving the mansion. He gave her whatever she wanted. She had conflicts with several ladies outside, and Longkodo supported her without asking any questions. In the end, those ladies even came to apologize.
Over time, she developed an arrogant and domineering behavior.
Li Si'er shouted sternly, "I am Lord Longkodo's man. If you dare to hit me, he will not let you go!"
"Stop talking nonsense, why don't you do it!" Qi Buchen said coldly, and the people surrounding Li Si'er immediately caught her. However, Li Si'er was very aggressive and started scratching her. The people who caught her were caught off guard and almost let her escape. Fortunately, the eunuchs Qi Buchen brought with him were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and took action in time to prevent her from escaping.
Because he was hit, the person who slapped him felt resentful and slapped him with great force.
Li Si'er was caught and still shouting: "I am the wife of Lord Longkodo. Lord Longkodo said this himself..."
“Bang!”
"Bitch, you dare to hit me! Lord Longkodo is the emperor's uncle..." Li Si'er looked like a madman after being hit. She struggled and looked at the person who hit her with gritted teeth, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
“Bang!”
"Bitch! I won't let you go..."
“Bang!”
"I want you to die miserably..."
“Bang!”
"Smelly bitch..."
“Snap! Snap!”
Li Si'er stopped talking, her sinister gaze no longer fixed on the man who had hit her, but on Qi Buchen, who stood condescendingly beside her. She hated the way he looked down upon her, as if she were trash. Longkodo's father-in-law's wife, Hesheli, the wives she had humiliated, and even the Fourth Lady before her all received the same gaze. Why? Just because they were the principal wives? Just because they were of good family backgrounds?
If Li Si'er refused to accept it, what would happen to Sifujin? One day, she would make her kneel before her and beg to admit her fault, just like Hesheli.
Of course Qi Buchen saw Li Si'er's resentful look, but so what? Maybe she was using her privilege to impose the death penalty, but she still felt it was not enough for someone like Li Si'er. If she didn't want to cause trouble for Yinzhen, she would have wanted to kill Li Si'er.
Besides, she didn't need to bear any responsibility for what happened today. It was Li Si'er who was at fault first. Besides, who knew that Longkodo would treat a concubine as his wife? It was a well-known fact that his wife's surname was Hesheli. Anyone who heard Li Si'er's statement would wonder if she was an imposter.
After twenty slaps, Li Si'er's cheeks were swollen and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. He could no longer speak, but his eyes were still staring at Qi Buchen like a poisonous snake.
Qi Buchen said calmly, "Send him to the Dali Temple."
Li Si'er was sent away, and Qi Buchen looked at the frightened Madam Tong beside him and said, "I want to ask Madam Tong, who started the fight first today?"
Madam Tong was so frightened she was speechless. However, a maidservant beside her was quite clever and indignant. She said, "Replying to the Fourth Lady, it was that woman who started it! Our Madam simply refused to give up the fabric, and she started swearing at me. I was so angry that I replied, but who knew she would just start hitting me!"
"We didn't intend to fight her, so we just protected our wife and left. But that woman kept hitting her, and we had no choice but to fight back."
The maidservant also said: "I was wondering, whose lady could be so vulgar? It turns out she is an imposter. She even dared to cause trouble here at the Fourth Lady's place. I think she is not brave but stupid!"
"Alright." Madam Tong finally came to her senses and stopped the maid weakly, lowering her head and saying, "In any case, since I offended the Fourth Lady today, I will send compensation to your house later."
Qi Buchen refused: "That's not necessary. Madam Tong suffered an unexpected disaster in my store today. I should compensate Madam Tong."
"You're too polite, Fourth Lady." Madam Tong was genuinely shocked. "I'm not feeling well today, so I'll take my leave."
Qi Buchen didn't want to keep her, but he still reminded her: "That woman has always been very arrogant. Even if she is not Mr. Tong's wife, I'm afraid she has some relationship with him. Mrs. Tong should talk to her family about this matter when she returns."
Of course she knew the relationship between Li Si'er and Longkodo, but the Madam Tong in front of her did not know that although the Minister of Justice was in a high position and had great power, it was unknown whether he could stop Longkodo. After all, the Tong family was now at its peak of power, and was even privately known as Tong Banchao.
"Thank you for the reminder." Mrs. Tong left in a hurry.
Qi Buchen didn't stay in the store for long, not knowing whether Longkodo would take revenge on her for Li Si'er, but she was still prepared for the worst outcome. She ordered Fuyun to transfer the people in the store first, arrange for the rotation of those who did not show up today, and then arrange more guards before returning home first.
After returning home, he ordered the servants who had gone out with him today not to go out alone recently, especially the person who had slapped Li Si'er. It was not because he regretted provoking Li Si'er, but mainly because he was afraid that Longkodo and Li Si'er, this pair of scumbags and bitches, had no martial ethics and would not dare to cause trouble to him openly, but would use some dirty tricks in secret to harm the lives of these servants.
Soon, the servant who had escorted Li Si'er to the Dali Temple came back in a panic: "Your Highness, after we sent that girl to the Dali Temple, we followed your instructions and watched from there to see how the Dali Temple handled her. Who knew that Mr. Tong San suddenly showed up halfway, snatched the girl away, and ran away."
"Got it." Qi Buchen pretended to frown, "Go and find out what the relationship is between that woman and Mr. Tong Sanye."
This news was relatively easy to find out. After all, Longkodo had never been secretive in the Tong Mansion, and almost all the servants in the Tong Mansion knew about this Madam Li.
The servant who got the news breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a favorite concubine. He couldn't help showing a bit of contempt when reporting back.
Qi Buchen didn't care about the servant's attitude and nodded to indicate that it was all she knew. After all, under normal circumstances, no matter what, a concubine could not threaten her, the Fourth Lady.
Lan Hui, the newly promoted head maid, even murmured to Rui Xiang, "It seems that Third Master Tong is quite fond of this Li. He even went straight to the Dali Temple to snatch her away."
Qi Buchen said silently in his heart, it’s more than just pampering.
At this time, Tong's family.
Li Si'er had already seen the doctor finish applying the medicine. Although she could not speak, she still had a way to pester Longkodo to avenge her.
Longkodo had heard the whole story from the servants, and he hugged her in his arms with heartache, but he did not agree easily as usual: "Good Si'er, the pain in your body hurts me, you should take good care of your injuries, and when you recover, I will get you whatever you want."
Li Sier could tell he was avoiding the main point, so he pushed him away and looked at Longkodo angrily. He ignored the pain and said vaguely, "Well, I want a bitch like me! Li is not like a blue man. The woman here was beaten, and Li dared not even fart!"
Longkodo didn't mind her scolding at all, and continued to coax her softly: "My dear, Si Er, I also want to avenge you, but now is not the time. She is Si Fu Jin, after all, she is the emperor's daughter-in-law. Even if we want to do something, we can't do it openly. Sweetheart, please stop talking."
"No matter what, there is no such insult as the hand drum! She will die miserably! If you don't dare, just get out! Coward! Do it yourself!" Li Si'er was so excited that he couldn't calm down at all.
Longkodo was helpless. What could she do? Go and die? But he couldn't do anything to Li Si'er, so he could only promise: "Okay, okay, I promise to help you get revenge. Just give me some time, okay?"
"Your Excellency?" Li Si'er looked at him suspiciously.
"Really, really!" Longkodo assured her repeatedly, looking at her lovingly, "Darling, stop talking, the wound is broken, are you trying to make me die of heartache?"
Only then did Li Si'er lean back into his arms contentedly, gently and courteously.
Qi Buchen didn't know about this. After Yinzhen came back, he told Yinzhen what happened during the day. Yinzhen didn't take it seriously: "It's just a thing, so I beat him."
He even joked, "I didn't expect that Fu Jin could have such a bad temper. How did she offend you? This is the first time I've seen you so angry that you even hit someone."
Facing Yinzhen, Qi Buchen did not hide the fact that he had guessed Li Si'er's identity on the spot: "In fact, I guessed it was her when I heard about Tong Sanye. You are right about one thing. I did lose my temper, but it was not because she provoked me, but purely because of her personality."
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Jin curiously.
"You don't know, I've heard of this Li a long time ago." Qi Buchen began to flatter her. "I heard that she was originally the concubine of Longkodo's father-in-law, and was later taken away by Longkodo. Now she has absolute power in Longkodo's backyard. Even Longkodo's wife, Hesheli, has to avoid her and stay indoors."
