Chapter 719: The Evil Leader Runs Away His Legs
Yao Jingwan was taken to a gray carriage.
After all, Qin Wenxi is the descendant of both the Qin and Yao families. Although he was reprimanded by the saint, the two families did not dare to do anything extreme.
They could only keep her in the mansion and wait until she reached the age of marriage.
Yao Jingwan sat in the carriage with a pale face as if she had lost her parents. After she took a few steps, the carriage pulled to the side.
"There is a distinguished person ahead, please go ahead."
"Is that Li Tanhua?" Outside the carriage, the vendors were discussing in a low voice.
"Yes, now we should call him Lord Li. He is a favorite of His Majesty, just like Lu Yanshu, he is His Majesty's left arm and right hand."
Yao Jingwan lifted the curtain for some unknown reason.
When the two carriages met, a breeze blew and lifted the curtains a little. Revealing Lord Li’s true appearance…
Yao Jingwan suddenly pinched the curtain tightly.
She had seen Li Zixi before.
At that time, the Yao family had a good reputation among scholars. After my elder sister got engaged, I just reached the age of 15. My father often invited scholars to his house for a chat.
At that time, my father valued Li Zixi very much.
How to say it? Li Zixi was an orphan at the time. His wife ran away with his brother, and even his children were not his own.
He looks like a poor scholar.
But Yao Jingwan still remembers his face clearly.
It is rare to see such an outstanding appearance.
After Li Zixi left, Yao Jingwan had a big fight with her father. There happened to be a lantern festival that day, so he begged his sister to take him out for a walk to relax.
Later, bandits came down the mountain to cause chaos, and she asked her sister for protection, but her sister was kidnapped...
After returning home, she knelt in the ancestral hall for three days in panic.
Later, she never saw Li Zixi again.
I guess his father told him his refusal.
Who could have thought that Li Zixi would have such good fortune. He now no longer looks as young as he did back then, nor does he seem as frightened as he did when someone accidentally looked at him. At that time, even his ears turned red with embarrassment.
Now what?
He glanced at her, and Yao Jingwan wanted to lower the curtain.
She was inexplicably afraid of the two of them meeting.
Li Zixi didn't seem to recognize her. He just nodded at her with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Madam, for making way."
The carriage drove away, but she was still unable to come back to her senses.
She raised her hand and touched her cheek. She gave birth to Qin Wenxi the second year after she married Qin Jiayan.
That was the time when Li Zixi was working hard for the imperial examination, right?
No matter how well she had maintained herself over the years, she had lost her youthful appearance in front of Li Zixi.
"Master Li is really amazing. He is not even thirty now, right?"
"Whoever marries him will be blessed. There are no old people in the mansion, and Master Li never lingers in brothels."
"Oh, stop talking. Lord Li and Lord Lu, the whole capital is watching these two. I don't know who will get the prize..."
The carriage swayed as it moved out, and Yao Jingwan burst into tears.
Today, Li Zixi is full of official authority and is no longer the same as she used to be. I'm afraid she can't even remember who she is.
Who would have thought that he was the person he looked down upon at the beginning.
She was only fifteen at that time, the age when she was longing for beautiful love.
How could Li Zixi, who was poor and had lost both his parents, be worthy of her attention?
She covered her face and cried softly. It turned out that the best thing had been delivered to her so long ago.
After she finished crying, Yao Jingwan said, "Please walk slower..."
Although the driver was impatient, Yao Jingwan was the daughter of the Yao family after all, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so he did not dare to provoke Yao Jingwan.
"Madam, if you are any slower, we won't be able to reach the inn before dark and will have to sleep outdoors."
Yao Jingwan looked around with red eyes.
Neither her Wen Xi nor Wen Tan came to see her off.
Qin Wenxi is eleven years old this year and has been raised like a treasure since childhood. Because of the harm done to Yao Jingyi, she was always uneasy during her pregnancy, which led to Wen Xi's premature birth.
She blamed herself so much that she didn't dare let the wet nurse take care of the baby, so she raised the baby by herself day and night.
Now, not a single one of the two children came to see them off.
Yao Jingwan left Beijing in disappointment.
Li Zixi was sitting in the carriage. He just lifted the curtain and saw the lady in the other carriage had tears on her face, which made him feel somewhat familiar.
"Whose carriage was that just passed by?"
The servant replied in a low voice: "Sir, it's from the Yao family."
Li Zixi shook his head. He didn't know the Yao family. Besides, the other person looked a few years older than him, so he probably didn't know him.
"Hurry up, or you'll miss the Lu family's full moon banquet."
After saying that, Li Zixi muttered, "Lord Rong is really tight-lipped. He goes to court every day, but I have never heard that his family has given birth again."
"This sudden invitation to attend Rong Laoliu's full moon banquet really caught me off guard."
The servant smiled and joked: "You are still talking about it. At your age, other people's children are ten years old or older. You are the only one who is still alone..."
Li Zixi glared: "How dare you tease me!"
"Besides, we still have Lu Yanshu, so what are we afraid of?"
The servant waved his hand: "Lu Yanshu is several years younger than you. Besides, you two shouldn't say anything... His Majesty is urging you to get married."
"You are about to turn 30." The servant muttered secretly.
Li Zixi glanced at him, and the servant dared not make trouble anymore.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Lu family's door.
"Why is it so quiet when there's no celebration for such a big wedding?" The servant helped Li Zixi get off the carriage.
"I think the Duke of Zhenguo is not in good condition, so let's just hold a simple party." Li Zixi has a good relationship with the Lu family and knows something about the Rong family's situation.
The servant looked at it again and again suspiciously: "Something is wrong, it's too quiet."
There wasn't even a servant to greet people at the door.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard a series of ghostly howling sounds coming from inside.
With a creak, the door opened.
I saw a chubby little kid running and crying, holding a dog in his hands. He was crawling out in a panic with snot and tears all over his face.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Mom is going to kill someone..."
"Daddy, save me..." Shanshan cried at the top of her lungs, without any trace of the arrogance and domineering attitude of the evil leader.
Li Zixi hurried forward to stop him: "Madam Xu, today is a happy occasion in your family, please forgive him first. Besides, you just gave birth to a child, you have to rest for a while, why are you getting out of bed so soon?"
Xu Shiyun held up her waist and gasped, baring her teeth. She was so angry that she no longer had the demeanor of a mistress. Hearing this, he became so angry that veins on his forehead throbbed.
"What a happy event! What a happy event! What a happy event!!"
"Give...give it to Rong Laoliu's full moon banquet?" Li Zixi looked at her hesitantly.
Why did Mrs. Xu get angrier the more she listened?
"Rong Laoliu is the dog in his arms! Damn it, he actually sent invitations to all the civil and military officials in the court and held a wedding banquet for a dog!!"
The more Xu thought about it, the angrier she became. One of Shanshan's shoes was missing.
"Woo woo woo... the dog is also my brother, what's wrong with me holding a full moon party for it?"
"Wuwuwu... Daddy, help me."
"Shanshan is angry!!" the little guy ran wildly at the sound of his voice.
"Wuwuwu, when you and my father die in the future, I will bury my father in the east and you in the west..."
