Chapter 141
"Miss Li, I have already given you a chance, but you refused to listen and are now forced to drink the penalty cup. There is no woman my husband sets his sights on that he cannot have!" Madam Cao said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin frowned, thinking to herself, "Isn't this younger sister being too flamboyant?"
It should be noted that there were quite a few other ladies and young women from Li'an County present.
Isn't her own sister afraid that they'll spread what she said today?
"Heh, Madam Cao, aren't you overestimating the Cao family? Or do you think that your little Cao family can control me?" Li Zhiwei thought that Madam Cao was really stupid, and that Magistrate Cao actually dared to have designs on her.
The problem is, why would he let his stupid wife force herself on him?
In her opinion, Magistrate Cao's good days are probably coming to an end.
"Hmph, you don't need to talk big. Once you're in the Cao family, I'm the one who calls the shots. What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take them to the backyard!" Madam Tang said unhappily to the stunned old woman and servant.
The ladies and young women from the merchant families who had come to the banquet turned pale at this moment.
They never expected that Madam Cao would be so arrogant.
This is utterly lawless.
Thinking of this, everyone thought of Li'an County, which, in a way, was ruled by Magistrate Cao, who held absolute power.
However, the Li family's conditions are not something Magistrate Cao can easily offend, right?
But now, Madam Cao is acting without any scruples. Could it be that the Li family is failing?
Everyone stepped back, not wanting to get involved in the matter further.
They were even more worried that if they said something they shouldn't have today, and Magistrate Cao held a grudge, their men wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, their family backgrounds were no match for the Cao family.
"How dare you!" Qinghua never expected that people from such a small place would dare to lay a hand on their princess.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly take Concubine Li away!" Madam Cao glared at the servants who hadn't yet made a move and scolded them.
"I never expected that Magistrate Cao would actually abduct women!" Li Zhiwei took a deep breath, feeling fortunate that she hadn't acted arrogantly today and had brought Qinghua and Qingyue with her.
In this way, at least the servants of the Cao family shouldn't be able to do anything to her.
"Miss! I'll protect you as you leave!" Qinghua quickly exchanged a glance with Qingyue, and the two made a decision: one would take Li Zhiwei away, while the other would stay behind to deal with these people.
"Where do you think you're going? Are you all stupid? Why aren't you taking him down?" Madam Cao was very dissatisfied that the servants in their household had not yet taken down the person.
Unfortunately, with Qinghua and Qingyue around, they couldn't get close to Li Zhiwei at all, let alone capture her.
"Madam Cao, tell your master that the Li family will not let this matter go lightly! You should prepare to face the wrath of the Li family!" After saying this, Li Zhiwei left the Cao family under Qinghua's cover.
Shen An'an was also terrified by the Cao family's attitude.
She never expected that Madam Cao would try to force Li Zhiwei to stay with Magistrate Cao, an old man old enough to be Li Zhiwei's father, as a concubine.
What were her thoughts?
That Magistrate Cao is disgusting; he actually coveted Zhiwei.
Seeing this, everyone took their leave and departed.
They saw this, and they won't be able to sleep well for several days afterward.
"Zhiwei!" Shen An'an chased after her and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Zhiwei was alright.
After what just happened, Qinghua went to keep Shen An'an away.
"An'an, I'm going back now. We can talk again when we have time." Li Zhiwei didn't dare to linger at the Cao family's door.
