Chapter 5 The Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo
Luo Xi: "........."
Her gaze fell on the woman's wrist. "Unavoidable? Then why don't you sell the bracelet you're wearing?"
"I don't think you had no choice!"
Xiao Yan: !!!
She looked at the bracelet on her wrist and stammered, "This bracelet... this bracelet is the only thing my mother left me, I can't sell it."
She was telling the truth.
The onlookers: "........."
It seems her brother's life is less valuable than her bracelet.
If she really had no other choice, she could sell her bracelet. What's wrong with stealing other people's things?
Luo Xi's tone was a little cold, "Oh, so you can't sell the things your mother left you, and then you can steal my purse?"
"What kind of 'having no other choice' is this?"
Luo Xi: "Su Yan, break both of her hands."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan decisively and resolutely twisted off Xiao Yan's other hand. "Yes, Madam."
Xiao Yan: "Ah........"
Her hand!
After a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Luo Xi with hatred.
She's so rich, losing a little money is nothing to her. How could she let someone break her hand?
In the past, she had stolen other ladies' purses, and when they heard that she had stolen them to treat her brother's illness, they gave them to her without saying a word.
They weren't as petty as her.
Luo Xi was speechless when she saw the hateful look in Xiao Yan's eyes...
What? Didn't she think about the consequences of being caught stealing the purse before she did?
She glanced at Su Yan, who understood and skillfully added some poison to Xiao Yan's throat.
Afterwards, Luo Xi left with Su Yan and the others.
Xiao Yan gritted her teeth and stared at Luo Xi's back.
Just wait, she won't let her off easily.
Unfortunately, she was destined to never have the chance.
That night, she died of poisoning in a small courtyard...
As for her younger brother who had a high fever? Oh, she didn't have a younger brother at all.
Five days later,
That day, Song Li, having finished his business, passed by the teahouse. He glanced up and saw Luo Xi sitting by the window, drinking tea. His eyes lit up. He told his subordinates to go back first, and then scurried upstairs...
Song Li's subordinates, witnessing this scene, were speechless.
It's unbearable to look at.
Well, they should get used to it by now.
The second floor of the teahouse
Song Li knocked on the rightmost door on the second floor. "Madam, it's me, your husband Song Li."
"May I come in?"
Luo Xi: "........."
"No, I have something to say to Madam Hou."
Upon hearing this, Song Li looked a little disappointed. "Okay."
If he won't go in, then he can at least wait for her, right?
"Madam, how long do you estimate you'll be talking?"
Luo Xi glanced at Madam Hou and said to Song Li, "We don't know yet, you should go back first."
Song Li didn't want to go back, and she wasn't in the manor.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Luo Xi: "Mmm."
Song Li said that, but he didn't leave. He sat downstairs drinking tea and waiting for someone...
In the private room on the second floor
Lady Hou looked at Luo Xi across from her with a hint of envy in her eyes, "The Duke of Zhenguo is really attached to you."
"Unlike my lord..."
He had many wives and concubines; he wasn't bad to her, but he wasn't good to her either.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi glanced at her but remained silent.
Seeing that Luo Xi remained silent, Lady Hou wisely returned to what she had just said...
