Chapter 064 Dealing with the Old Woman and Sister-in-law
Li Ziyuan, who was caught cheating in public and had an affair with his student, had no room for explanation at all.
And with Xu Yu testifying that he intended to poison Su Lianyi, Li Ziyuan had no way to defend himself.
Just when Li Ziyuan was in dire straits in the county government office, Su Lianyi returned to Li's house.
Li Wanhua didn't know what was going on. When she saw Su Lianyi and then Duan Qizheng beside her, she immediately slammed her cane on the ground with a cold face: "Are there any more rules? You brought a man from another family home without permission. You are a shameless merchant girl. My Li family still has a good reputation!"
Su Lianyi looked at the harshness and arrogance on the face of the old woman she had carefully nurtured for three years and sneered, "Go back to your shabby alley to find the reputation of your Li family. Come, kick this old woman and her daughter out and tear down the door plaque!"
"yes."
The servants of the Duan family brought by Duan Qizhen immediately stepped forward to hold Li Wanhua and dragged her out. Li Wanhua's face changed drastically and was a little distorted because she was too shocked.
"What are you doing, Su, are you crazy? Are you crazy?"
Li Qingqing, who had been hiding in the back waiting to watch the fun, also rushed out, screaming, "Su Lianyi, how dare you be rude to my mother? I'll ask my brother to divorce you, you shrew!"
Su Lianyi stepped forward and slapped Li Qingqing in the face. Li Qingqing was stunned and wanted to fight back when she came to her senses, but was held down by the servants. Su Lianyi slapped her again.
The servants who were serving the Li family mother and daughter were terrified when they saw this and quickly retreated. Su Lianyi said directly, "From now on, this is no longer the Li residence, it's the Su residence. If anyone who wants to follow Li Wanhua is here, let her go."
How could everyone not see something at this time? The servants and maids all knelt down, and no one looked towards the Li mother and daughter.
Although Su Lianyi always bows down to the Li mother and daughter on weekdays, their wages are all paid by Su Lianyi.
They still know who is the master of this family.
Li Wanhua was about to yell, but Su Lianyi stepped forward and slapped her twice, knocking her hair loose: "Shameless old woman!"
Raising her hand, she plucked the priceless jade hairpin from Li Wanhua's head. Su Lianyi said coldly, "Take off all the jewelry from both of them and throw them out. If you dare to break into the Su residence again, I'll break your legs!"
Li Wanhua's face turned pale as she pointed at Su Lianyi, trembling: "Merchant girl, you merchant girl..."
Li Qingqing screamed and cried, trying to protect her jewelry, but she was no match for the burly servant.
Moments later, the mother and daughter were thrown onto the street.
The crowd outside was already full of onlookers. Li Wanhua was supported by her daughter and stood up, crying loudly: "Misfortune has come to our family, the merchant girl is going to make a scene, my son, please come back and take a look..."
At this time, someone nearby laughed and said, "Your son can't come back. He is in the county jail now."
Li Wanhua was startled and turned around to yell, "Shut up! What nonsense! My son is a juren (imperial scholar) and a county school instructor!"
"Haha, yes, the Juren master, the county school instructor, was caught playing with his own student in Lanyuan. He also poisoned his wife and is now on trial in the county government office..."
"How shameless!"
"That's right. The Li family used to be poor and destitute. Without Shopkeeper Su, there wouldn't be the wealthy Li Mansion, and there wouldn't be the pomp and circumstance of this old woman... He's a homosexual, one thing, but he's also playing with his own students. The most hateful thing is that he even tried to poison his wife. What a shameless scum!"
"Not worthy of being a human being."
"One look at this old woman and you'll know that her whole family is not good people. They are here to eat her whole family."
"Serves him right! It would be better if Li Ziyuan was exiled. He is so vicious."
Li Wanhua and her daughter trembled as they listened to the discussions around them.
They knew that what these people said was probably true. Otherwise, how could Su Lianyi suddenly turn her back on them...
It was easy to find out about the things that happened when Li Ziyuan was locked up for interrogation. The mother and daughter of the Li family panicked immediately. Now the Li residence had become the Su residence, and the land deeds and house deeds were all in Su Lianyi's name. Even if they wanted to make trouble, they had no reason to do so.
Li Wanhua felt that the only solution now was to wait for her son to come out.
The merchant's daughter was infatuated with his son and indulged him in every way. As long as his son came out and he could persuade her with his feelings, the merchant's daughter would definitely change her mind given his son's eloquence.
At worst, I can be nicer to the merchant girl in the future. When her daughter marries into the Xu family and her son becomes an official, it won't be too late to settle the score with the merchant girl then.
The entrance to the yamen faces south, so it is impossible to save people empty-handed.
Li Wanhua remembered that Su Lianyi gave her a farm as a gift on her birthday last year... The merchant girl suddenly attacked, and she certainly wouldn't have enough time to deal with the farm. She had to take the farm into her hands as soon as possible.
However, when the mother and daughter pawned Li Wanhua's crutches and hired a car to go to the farm outside the city, they found that the farm had already been owned by a new owner.
Among the things Su Lianyi disposed of some time ago was this farm, and she had already sold it.
Li Wanhua was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she didn't dare to do anything rash. She hurriedly took Li Qingqing back to the small grocery store in the city.
The small grocery store was Su Lianyi's dowry to Li Qingqing. Although it was not big, the business was pretty good. It was definitely enough to use it to make some pocket money.
However, when the mother and daughter arrived at the grocery store, they found that the store had also been sold.
Su Lianyi's idea was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment one.
Li Wanhua was so angry that she stamped her feet and cried in the street: "That merchant girl has had evil intentions for a long time, she has had evil intentions for a long time!"
Without any money, Li Wanhua could only go back to her brother's house without any shame to ask for his help. After all, she had given a lot of financial support to her brother in the past few years, and even most of the money for her brother's three-story house was spent on her.
Although it was Su Lianyi's money that was used.
However, Li Wanhua couldn't even get into her brother's house.
In the past, her younger brothers and sisters, who used to call her sister intimately, would mock her with a fake smile, saying that her family was a murderous family and they dared not associate with her.
Li Wanhua almost fainted from anger.
Finally, Li Qingqing still had some ideas. She calmed down and said to her mother, "Mom, I'll go ask Xu Lang for help."
Xu Fang, the third son of the second branch of the Xu family, has always been gentle and considerate to her, and her aunt also treats her like her own daughter. With the Xu family's word, their family will definitely be able to survive this disaster.
Li Wanhua said bluntly, "My dear daughter, my dear daughter, our family is counting on you."
Li Qingqing reluctantly straightened her clothes and tidied her hair, and found the Xu family. She didn't dare let other people in the Xu family know, so she went directly to the back door.
The servant recognized Miss Li and let her in. Li Qingqing groped her way to the courtyard of the second house and when she saw Xu Fang, she burst into tears.
"Xu Lang, Xu Lang, Qingqing has suffered a great injustice this time. You must take charge of this for me..."
Li Qingqing was so busy crying that she didn't even notice the look in Xu Fang's eyes.
With the Xu family's connections, how could he not know about what happened to the Li family, his soon-to-be-in-laws?
Li Ziyuan, the instructor of the county school, actually had an affair with a student of the county school. What's more hateful is that he poisoned his wife and was reported to the county government.
This time, even if he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive.
The mistress's people had just left his yard and sent someone to tell him that the marriage with the Li family was off and there was no need to mention it again.
Xu Fang is a bastard's son, and a bastard's son of the second wife with little say, so naturally he would not do anything to disobey his elders.
Xu Fang originally wanted to send the disheveled Li Qingqing away with a few taels of silver, but when he saw that she looked even more beautiful when she cried, he felt reluctant to do so.
Then he thought again, the Li family was in decline and had a bad reputation. Li Qingqing would definitely not marry him, but it would be nice to have him as a concubine.
It can also show his gratitude to the Xu family by not kicking people out just because the Li family fell into decline.
As for your wife becoming a concubine, that's because your Li family has a bad reputation, so how can you blame others?
Thinking of this, Xu Fang's expression returned to his usual gentleness: "Qingqing, don't worry, this matter needs to be considered carefully..."
