Chapter 433 I Volunteer

"Little sister, are you willing to come with me?" Lu Li looked down at the little girl.

The little girl looked up at her ferocious sister-in-law, then looked at the gentle and pretty Lu Li, and nodded.

"He Qiuhua, are you crazy? You follow that person without even knowing her. Aren't you afraid that she is a kidnapper? Be careful that she sells you to a brothel." He Qiuhua's sister-in-law Zhou Cui looked at her in disbelief.

He Qiuhua was a little scared when she heard this, but she looked at Lu Li's clear eyes and shook her head at her sister-in-law.

"No, my sister is a good person. Anyway, I don't want to go home. I don't want to bind my feet."

She almost fell just now. She didn't know this sister, but she was willing to help her up. She was definitely not a bad person.

Zhou Cui was so angry at her words that she started to yell, "Someone come, someone is trying to steal the child."

"Someone come, someone wants to sell my sister."

Hearing her hysterical screams, people around immediately came over and surrounded Lu Li and others.

"No, no, this sister doesn't want to sell me out." He Qiuhua quickly waved her hands to explain for Lu Li.

"Sell your sister?" Lu Li sneered.

She has already read the whole story from the melon-eating system.

"You accepted money from Mr. Lu's family and wanted to send He Qiuhua to them as a concubine. Their requirement was that He Qiuhua's feet had to be bound and she could be sent to them after she reached the age of marriage. You are selling a child now."

As soon as Lu Li said this, the way people looked at Zhou Cui changed.

"This girl looks like she's already ten years old. Her legs are stiff now, how can she wrap them?" Someone who knew the matter commented in the crowd.

"Yes, it is better to bind feet when a girl is four or five years old. At such an old age, binding feet will kill her." Someone else echoed.

He Qiuhua looked at Zhou Cui in panic.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to be a concubine, and I don't want to bind my feet."

"What do you know? Marrying a concubine of Mr. Lu is much better than marrying a countryman. If you marry her, you won't have to worry about food and clothing, and there will be people to serve you. I am sending you to enjoy a happy life." Zhou Cui argued cunningly.

"Besides, I didn't agree to this alone. Your grandfather, your father, and your eldest brother all agreed to it."

He Qiuhua's face turned pale with fright.

Mr. Lu is already thirty years old, and can be her father.

"I don't want it, I don't want it." She grabbed Lu Li's hand tightly.

"Sister, please save me." Her big eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

"Don't worry." Lu Li rubbed her head again.

Then he looked at the onlookers.

"Excuse me, everyone. This girl came with me of her own accord. I did not kidnap any child."

"I volunteered." He Qiuhua nodded repeatedly.

"You!" Zhou Cui was so angry that she was speechless.

"You are a glutton, if you have the guts, just never come home again. I have provided you with food and clothing, raised you for so many years, and even found a good husband for you, but you don't appreciate it. As your sister-in-law, I have a miserable life." She slapped her thigh and cried.

Lu Li was too lazy to watch her acting, so she just took He Qiuhua and left.

When the protagonist left, the onlookers also dispersed.

Zhou Cui followed Lu Li and the others without hesitation, saw the inn they were staying in, and hurried home to report the news.

What Lu Li said on the street today soon reached the ears of the prefect Li Shouzheng.

"You are such a clueless girl. I hate women who bring up Concubine Shu as an excuse the most." Li Shouzheng snorted.

"Among a thousand women, there may not be one Shufei. What's the point of using the title of Shufei as a banner? Go check whose daughter she is and invite her father to be our guest. I want to have a good talk with her father. How could he raise such an arrogant and ignorant daughter?"

He had knocked on the doors of every prominent family in Yunzhong City, but no one dared to let his daughter be so presumptuous.

"Yes." After receiving the order, the subordinate immediately went to check Lu Li's background.

When Lu Li returned to the inn, she learned that Li Shouzheng had sent someone to investigate her, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Check it out. If I can't scare you to death, I lose.]

[You still want to invite my dad to be your guest? Tsk tsk, maybe you will end up in jail as your guest.]

Lu Li was waiting to see the show.

He Qiuhua stood aside and looked at everyone anxiously.

Seeing her reservedness, Tu Susu smiled and held her hand.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, we are all good people."

She was born with the ability to be friendly to others, and her comfort quickly made He Qiuhua feel at ease.

Everyone was shocked when they learned her origins from Lu Can.

Long Aotian found it hard to understand the aesthetic taste of the men in Yunzhong City: "Bound feet? What's so good about that? It's so ugly."

"It's either for the sake of looking good or for the desire for control. He doesn't want women to go out, so he drives them back to the backyard step by step, depriving them of the chance to serve as officials in the court." Qu Songnian answered without thinking.

He comes from a family of two officials and has a deep understanding of this.

Many officials who cannot speak Chinese as well as his mother always think that his mother is in a high position because of his father's influence.

He always tried to get his mother to resign and go home, both openly and secretly.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess was wise and kicked out those officials who were complaining and making small moves behind the scenes.

"What's the point of this? If you want to become an official in the court, why don't you just take the exam yourself? If women don't take the exam, how can they pass it?" Long Aotian didn't understand what these people were thinking.

The emperor has said that anyone who is capable, regardless of gender, can take the position.

What's the point of doing these boring things?

After hearing this, Tu Susu looked at Long Aotian with admiration.

The husband chosen by the Lord God for him is really good. He doesn't think women are useless.

In some of the storybooks she read, whenever there was a plot where men bullied women, the men would always say that the women were useless and that they deserved it.

Fortunately, Long Aotian is not such a person.

"Brother Aotian, you said it very well!" She blinked and looked at Long Aotian.

Long Aotian looked at her sparkling eyes and felt inexplicably shy.

"It's just so-so."

"What do you mean 'just average'? You are obviously exceptionally good. Whoever can marry you will be the happiest person in the world." Tu Susu said seriously.

Long Aotian's ears turned red because of what she said.

Feng Qi didn't say anything, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

He always felt that the air seemed to have become a little sweeter.

These two seem to have a chance?

Qu Songnian seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

He asked Brother Aotian to bring the rabbit spirit over because he wanted Fengqi and the rabbit spirit to become a pair.

Now it seems that Brother Aotian himself is about to get trapped?

Should he remind him not to forget his original intention, because he wants to enter the Crown Princess' harem and become the Emperor's husband.

But he changed his mind and thought, the Long family has so many sons, if Long Aotian doesn't enter the palace, there are still Long Batian and Long Potian.

He has nothing to worry about.

At this time, Lu Li finished writing the secret letter and called Qin Xiao over, interrupting their chat.

"Send it back to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to the emperor. The sooner the better."

"Yes." Qin Xiao carried out her order without hesitation.
