Chapter 435: Damn it, I let it slip
"Don't talk nonsense. I am the biological father of that girl. I am taking my own daughter home. If you don't return her to me, you are stealing my child." Seeing that more and more people were pointing and talking, He Datian quickly changed the subject.
They came today to take He Qiuhua back.
And make some money.
"No, I followed Sister Lu voluntarily." He Qiuhua quickly stepped forward to explain.
He Datian was almost angry to death when his own daughter went against him.
"I'm your father! Why are you following her? If you don't let her go, we'll report her to the police."
"Yes, Qiuhua, don't be willful, come home with us quickly." He Qiuhua's elder brother He Chunsheng also echoed.
When He Qiuhua heard that they were going to report the incident to the police, she was afraid that she would implicate Lu Li and the others, so she hurriedly said, "Forget it. I'd better go home with them."
Thinking of the neighbor sister who died from foot binding, He Qiuhua was overwhelmed with grief and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Nine is here!" Tu Susu is now full of confidence in Lu Li.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere unless Miss Nine gives the order. Just stay here obediently."
He Qiuhua bit her lip and got into a dilemma.
"Well, Susu, take her back to the room first. Don't come out yet." Lu Li gave the order.
After all, the He family will be embarrassed later, and it won’t be appropriate for the children to see it.
Tu Susu immediately obeyed and took the person back to the room.
As the two men left, a yamen runner emerged from the crowd and asked, "What's going on? I heard someone kidnapped a child."
The He family was confused. They looked at each other, not knowing who had reported the incident to the authorities.
[Yo, Li Shouzheng is staring at me. ]
Lu Li sneered.
It turned out that they couldn't find out who her father was, and they wanted to teach her a lesson, so the prefect Li Shouzheng sent the officials to scare her.
She didn't want to slap him in the face so quickly, but since it was brought to her doorstep, she wouldn't be polite.
With the official on their side, He Datian and He Chunsheng stood up straight. They pointed at Lu Li and the others and said in unison, "They were the ones who stole the child."
"Sir, they kidnapped my only daughter. I don't know what kind of love potion they fed her. Now the child doesn't want to go home with us." He Datian wiped his tears.
"Don't worry, the prefect loves the people like his own children..." Before the bailiff could finish his flattering words, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.
There was a loud "bang" and a crack was created between the two people.
He Datian's hair was hit by a strand, and he looked dirty and shabby.
"What happened?"
The people were shocked.
"God must have been unable to tolerate their lies and struck them with lightning." Lu Li walked forward and patted He Datian on the shoulder.
"Uncle, if you lie you will be struck by lightning."
Then she patted the bailiff's shoulder again.
"Brother, if your parents really love the people like their own children, why would the heavens strike you down when you said this?"
The bailiff and He Datian looked at each other, both showing expressions of horror.
Lu Li's words caused a stir among the crowd, and everyone started talking about it.
"This girl is right. They must have lied. Otherwise, why would God strike them down?"
"Yes, a huge thunderbolt suddenly struck in broad daylight. There must be something wrong with them."
Hearing these words, the yamen runner immediately became anxious and quickly defended his master: "It was just a coincidence. The prefect has made so many contributions to Yunzhong City. Everyone can see that he is a good official."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li moved his fingers slightly, and a bolt of lightning struck down again.
It hit the runner right at his feet.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs swung, he muttered "what a ghost" and then ran away.
[Eh, you are so weak to be frightened. The medicine given by the Third Prince has not taken effect yet. ]
Lu Li murmured in her heart.
Lu Can was trying very hard to hold back his laughter. He finally understood what the good show that Ninth Sister was talking about was.
However, what is the medicine for the third brother?
After the bailiff left, the He family became a little panicked.
What just happened was beyond their understanding and too scary.
"Was it you who came up with the idea to bind your daughter's feet and marry her to the Lu family as a concubine so that you could use the betrothal gift to marry a new daughter-in-law?" Lu Li patted He Datian's shoulder again and asked loudly.
He Datian was frightened and felt his head was dizzy. He nodded subconsciously.
"It's me. I was thinking of having her feet bound and marrying her to Mr. Lu as a concubine. That way, I could use the betrothal gifts to marry a new wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Chunsheng and Zhou Cui's faces changed.
It’s only been half a year since mom passed away, and dad is already thinking about resuming the marriage?
Dad is already old. If he continues to marry at this age, wouldn't that make people laugh?
Besides, they were going to use my sister's betrothal gift to send their son to school.
Can't let dad mess around.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! You are already in your forties, why do you still want to get married?" He Chunsheng scolded his father.
"I just want to get married, so what?" He Datian's voice rang out.
"Dad, are you being worthy of my mother?" He Chunsheng was furious. He rushed over, grabbed He Datian by the collar, and shook him while questioning.
"You evil boy, what are you doing?" He Datian felt even more dizzy after being shaken by him, and raised his hand to punch him.
"You hit me?" He Chunsheng was enraged.
The father and son actually started fighting in the street.
Lu Li took a step back and snickered aside.
[Hehehe, the obedience medicine given by the Third Brother is really effective. ]
Lu Can suddenly realized that it was just a trick played by Ninth Sister!
Feng Qi raised the corners of his lips and used his divine power to weave an illusion for He Datian.
The father and son who were fighting fiercely suddenly stopped.
He Datian held his son's feet with an infatuated look on his face.
"Wrap this foot and send it to the prefect. He will surely like it."
He Chunsheng was frightened by his father's action.
Could his father be possessed by a ghost?
【Hey, what happened? 】
Lu Li was also confused when she saw this scene.
[Could it be that the Third Emperor's medicine has this side effect? ]
"Hehe, little feet, big ingots." He Datian held his son's feet tightly and laughed foolishly.
What he saw in the illusion was a pair of white and tender little feet and a pair of gold ingots.
But in reality, when people followed his gaze, they could only see a pair of stinky big feet.
When He Chunsheng heard this, he got goosebumps all over his body.
There's something really wrong with his dad!
"Ghost, there is a ghost."
He was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot and ran away pulling his wife Zhou Cui.
"Don't run, bound feet, bound feet." He Datian got up from the ground and chased after him.
The He family was also frightened by He Datian's weird appearance.
Who would hold their own son's feet and say such nonsense?
"Could it be that he was struck by lightning and became stupid?"
The show is over and people are talking about it.
After Lu Li and the others finished cracking the melon seeds, they returned to the inn.
"Ninth sister, is the obedience medicine that third brother gave you really that magical?" After entering the house, Lu Can couldn't wait to ask.
"How do you know that I gave the He family members obedience drugs?" Lu Li narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
Lu Can was startled.
Oops, he let it slip. He heard this from Ninth Sister's inner voice, and she hasn't said it out loud yet.
