When Liu Xi heard this, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
She snorted coldly, "Mrs. Zhou, I'm talking to you nicely, why don't you understand? Your son pushed our young master off the second-floor platform. This was witnessed by many people.
Our young master is good at martial arts and protected his head when he landed, but his leg still broke when it hit the stone pillar!
Our family is a family of military generals. Our young master is our only child and will inherit the title of marquis in the future.
If this is pushed out by your young master, who will be responsible?
We just want you to apologize and pay compensation. This request is not excessive. If you can't even do this, don't blame us for seeking justice for our young master in other ways!
As for the silver, we have enough in the Yongwu Marquis Mansion, so we won't accept it. Qi Bo, let's go back, the young master must be tired."
Li Yin remained silent the entire time. He just stared at Zhou Ya and Qin Ming, who was hiding in the house and dared not come out but only show his head secretly. A dark light flashed in his eyes.
When the sedan chair left, he lowered his gaze to his legs, and where Zhou Ya and her son couldn't see, he curled his lips slightly.
Zhou Ya looked at the box that was stuffed back and quickly grabbed it tightly with both hands.
Are you kidding? This is the fortune she has accumulated over the past two years. If they don't want her, it will be saved.
However, she still felt inexplicably uneasy. Thinking of what the maid had just said, she immediately called Qin Ming again.
"Hurry up and tell me everything that happened today from beginning to end!"
Qin Ming probably felt that things were getting out of control. His eyes turned red and he cried as he spoke.
Today he went out to play with his friends again. He originally went to the gambling house to play, but his luck was bad today. He quickly lost the dozens of taels of silver he brought with him and was kicked out of the gambling house.
They felt bored, so they went to a restaurant to eat, and happened to see Li Yin.
One of them had a grudge against Li Yin, so they made a bet that whoever lost would push Li Yin as a prank.
Naturally, Qin Ming lost. He was unwilling to do so at first, but he also resented the money that the Li family had cheated him out of.
If he had not been cheated out of so much money at that time, he would not be in the situation now where he can't even afford a hundred taels.
Those rich people who used to play well with him no longer play with him.
So he became bolder and pushed Li Yin hard.
Originally, he just wanted to push him down, but Li Yin suddenly stood up and fell directly from the high platform on the second floor.
He was extremely scared and wanted to run away, but there were many people dining on the second floor, so he was grabbed by someone.
Zhou Ya was furious when she heard this. She went up to Qin Ming and slapped him on the back several times.
"What's wrong with you, kid? I've told you so many times not to play with those hooligans, but you just won't listen! Now you're being used as a pawn! Your dad will definitely be furious if he finds out about this!"
Qin Ming was also scared at this moment, and started crying.
Butler Wu was almost worried to death, but what could a butler like him do about the master's affairs?
Sure enough, early the next morning, the Yongwu Marquis’ Mansion filed a complaint to the emperor in the court. The emperor was already angry and was worried about how to vent his anger on the Qin family. Now, it was good, and he was going to punish them severely!
Without saying a word, he punished Qin Ming with twenty strokes of the cane, and reprimanded Zhou Ya for her poor parenting. He punished him to copy Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, and used this as an excuse to send Qin Ming to the Imperial College, where he was placed under the emperor's supervision.
From now on, Qin Zheng's wife and children are in his hands.
Such thunderous wrath really surprised Zhou Ya. She didn't even care about her son who was sweating from the pain. She sat alone at the desk, trembling with fear, and kept copying Buddhist scriptures.
However, Xiao Lingling didn't know all this because she and her family were already bidding farewell to Su Daoxiu.
That’s right, Su Daoxiu had to leave early the next morning after he got home, and everyone came to the door to see him off. Even though Liu Jingrou was reluctant to let him go, she didn’t stop him in the end, but just kept reminding him something.
Xiao Lingling waited until they had almost finished talking before coming out carrying the small bag she had packed.
"Uncle Wang, take all of these with you. I've written down the directions and dosages. You'll know how to use them after you take a look. Remember to write back. We'll miss you."
Su Daoxiu smiled and nodded, "Okay! I've sorted out some of the treasured books in the study. They're for you. Remember to take a look later."
He gave Xiao Lingdang a look, and Xiao Lingdang understood immediately.
"Okay, I'll go there soon!"
The two of them smiled at each other knowingly and said nothing more.
Su Daoxiu looked at his two sons who were clinging to his clothes and couldn't bear to let them go, so he picked up the two little guys.
The two people who were usually noisy were unusually quiet at this moment, just holding on to his clothes tightly.
"You two should be good at home and listen to your mother, okay? Daddy will be back soon.
When Daddy comes back, I will definitely bring you gifts. You are little men now, you must protect Mom and your sister, okay?"
The two little ones lay on his neck and shoulders, one on each side, and you could faintly hear their soft sobs.
Such rare silence made Su Daoxiu even more reluctant to leave, and his heart softened like a puddle of water.
Finally, he handed the two children to the servant beside him, gave Liu Jingrou a gentle hug, then jumped on his horse and quickly left.
The horse's hooves galloped away quickly, the sound of them growing increasingly distant. No matter how dejected everyone was, they could only watch his back until he disappeared...
Seeing Liu Jingrou was sad, Xiao Lingdang went forward and held her hand, "Aunt Liu, don't be sad, it's better this way, you and your two brothers can stay at our house for a while.
Otherwise, there aren't many people at home, and I'd be very bored. My brothers are all very busy now and can't take care of me at all."
Liu Jingrou nodded. "Your Uncle Wang told me last night that I'll have someone pack up and leave soon. I'm afraid Aunt Zhao won't want to take us three in."
Zhao chuckled. "Hahaha, no way, no way! You're all welcome anytime. I wish you could all stay here. It would be so lively with so many people. These two little darlings are so adorable too. Come on, let's help clean up faster."
Liu Jingrou laughed out loud, and the sadness of parting seemed to dissipate a little.
Everyone worked together, Xiao Lingling was responsible for taking care of the children, and the adults were packing up. The efficiency was quite high.
