Chapter 511 All you have to do is marry the daughter of the county magistrate!
Going to the court to sue Zhang Nan for being unfilial, Li always thought this was her trump card to deal with Zhang Nan.
However, at this moment Zhang Nan acted like a madman and said that he would let Li sue and he didn't care at all, which made Li confused.
Zhao Song immediately jumped out to accuse Zhang Nan——
"You've read so much that you've become a dog! It wasn't easy for your mother to give birth to you! How dare you say such outrageous words!"
Zhang Nan's face turned pale, and he stood there swaying. The only color on his face was the blood on his head that had stained the bandage red. He said hoarsely, "...Mother gave birth to me, but she didn't give birth to Yaniang! I should repay mother for giving birth to me! But Yaniang saved my life. She is my lifesaver. I love her so much. Why did mother bully Yaniang!"
Zhang Nan burst into tears: "I have nothing. What you wear, eat, and live in are all earned by Yaniang! You eat Yaniang's food, live in Yaniang's house, and even beat and scold Yaniang! How can you!" He cried and roared, "I can't bear to touch Yaniang even a finger!"
Huya's eyes and nose looked red, and she was about to cry.
Li came to her senses at this moment and continued to complain: "That whore wants to marry you! Since she marries you, I am her mother-in-law! What's hers is mine! What's wrong?! To put it bluntly, you are unfilial!"
Li rolled over and over again, accusing Zhang Nan of being unfilial.
However, Zhang Nan had completely lost his heart to Li. He let Li go crazy without showing any emotion on his face, only a cold despair: "You curse and insult Yaniang, and at the same time you use my wish to marry Yaniang to torture her. What? Is Yaniang unlucky for eight lifetimes? Just because the man she likes has such a mother? Should she endure such a great humiliation and such injustice?"
Zhang Nan's questions were like tears of blood.
Huya's eyes became redder and redder.
At a time when filial piety is the most important thing for a child, many people could not stand it anymore and pointed fingers at her, making Li so angry that she fell backwards.
Zhao Song saw this and said hurriedly, "Brother! Mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart! She was just saying that! She actually loves you very much in her heart! This time, in order to come to the capital to take care of you, mother spent a lot of time selling embroidery to save enough money for the journey! Mother loves you with all her heart, how could you do this?"
Zhang Nan didn't believe it at all: "Really?"
Li took the opportunity to cry: "Okay, I'm just a useless old woman. You just passed the imperial examination and now you're ready to abandon your useless mother! I think you've been brainwashed by that whore!"
Xingxing felt upset when she heard this, especially when she kept calling the Li family prostitutes, which made her even angrier.
Xing Xing said angrily: "If you call my sister Huya a whore again, don't blame my servants for beating you up!"
Li looked at the servants around her who had ferocious eyes and were holding sticks as if they were about to rush over and beat people. She shrank her neck and really didn't dare to curse anymore.
But she was still unwilling to accept it, and said sternly: "...The county lord is so powerful, I discipline my own son, and the county lord wants to discipline me too?"
Xing Xing was still angry. She walked up to Li and looked down at her sitting on the ground. She said in a cold and crisp childish voice, "Li Hongmei is from Ji Prefecture in southern Gan. Twenty-five years ago, she married a scholar named Zhang. A year later, when she was eight months pregnant, the scholar fell off a cliff after drinking and died. Li Hongmei took three doses of abortion pills, but the aborted child luckily survived. Li Hongmei then left her premature eldest son to her elderly grandfather and married a butcher named Zhao. The next year, she gave birth to her second son, Zhao Song."
Li was shocked and suspicious, and her eyes widened in shock: "How did you know that?"
She looked at Zhang Nan suddenly: "You told her?!"
Zhang Nan's eyes were filled with pain: "I didn't say that."
Xing Xing looked at Li coldly: "...After Zhang Nan's biological father passed away, you didn't want to give birth to that child at all, but Zhang Nan was lucky enough to survive. Moreover, you have never raised Zhang Nan for a single day since he was born. When Zhang Nan was ten years old, his grandfather passed away. Fortunately, Zhang Nan's teacher at that time took pity on his talent and let him stay in the school to do odd jobs to offset his tuition. Zhang Nan made a living by copying books and writing letters for others since he was ten years old, and the situation did not get better until he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar."
Li's face turned pale and blue, still with that timid look: "...I am a woman who has been married for the second time and has a new family. How can I care about him!"
Zhang Nan said numbly, "Yes, you didn't care about me. I was starving to death and wanted to ask you for a piece of bread, but you kicked me and said I was blocking your way and told me to die in the side. Zhao Song even stepped on the meat buns given to me by a kind neighbor and threw them into the mud, saying that I was only fit to eat mud."
Li was speechless, and then she scolded him even more fiercely: "...your brother was young and ignorant at that time, and you still remember such a small thing! How can you be so petty!"
Zhao Song hurriedly said, "Yes, big brother, I was ignorant at that time. We are brothers connected by blood, otherwise, would I accompany my mother to come all the way to Beijing to see you?"
Zhang Nan smiled numbly and said nothing more.
Hu Ya was so heartbroken that her whole body was shaking and tears were streaming down her face.
Xing Xing glanced at Hu Ya and Zhang Nan, then glanced at Zhao Song, and said coldly: "Oh? You came all the way to see Zhang Nan? Isn't it because your seven-year-old son committed an unforgivable crime in Ji Prefecture, and you told the county magistrate of Ji Prefecture that your brother is very talented and can marry the deaf-mute daughter of the county magistrate of Ji Prefecture. The county magistrate of Ji Prefecture detained your son and forced you and your mother to come to the capital to find your brother and marry his daughter?"
Zhao Song's expression suddenly changed, and he almost blurted out: "How did you know that?"
This was the first time Zhang Nan knew about this.
But he had been hurt enough by those he so called relatives, not just this one.
He looked at Li and Zhao Song with some indifference.
Although Li said she didn't know how Xingxing knew it, but now that she saw Xingxing reveal the truth, she admitted it directly and said loudly: "What's the matter! Zhang Nan is my child, and he married the daughter of the county magistrate's family, and I won't harm him!"
Zhao Song realized that the matter could not be concealed, and Zhang Nan's attitude was indeed not as easy to talk to and manipulate as before, so he simply knelt down in front of Zhang Nan and cried bitterly: "Brother! Please save your nephew! He is only seven years old! You just need to marry the daughter of the county magistrate's family!"
Zhang Nan looked indifferent.
Li gritted her teeth and made concessions with a magnanimous look, saying loudly: "...If you really want to marry that prostitute...that merchant girl, I agree! But you have to marry the county magistrate's daughter, and she can only come in as a concubine!"
At this point, Li still felt that he had made a great sacrifice, "Is this enough? What else do you want to do?!"
Yu Yongbai became more and more irritated as he listened. He stepped forward and kicked Zhao Song, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground!
