Chapter 63: Caught in Bed
Shen Ning didn't take what happened just now to heart at all. Before returning to the house, she remembered something and turned to ask Xiao Nanchen: "Anan, do you think it would be more convenient for me to dress like this when I go out in the future?"
Xiao Nanchen quickly glanced at the red-dressed young man Chen Ning, then looked away: "Let's not do that."
With a face like that and eyes like that, it's hard to tell whether she's male or female if she wears men's clothes. Not only is it inconvenient, but it's likely to attract some perverts. What should I do?
Shen Ning was a little disappointed and went back to her room while muttering.
"Is it inappropriate? Never mind..."
I also think it would be more convenient to wear men's clothes when I go out to do business in the future.
Just when Shen Ning changed her clothes and put on makeup to go out, Li Qingqing went to the silk shop where she usually made her dresses.
This silk shop is one of the best in Pingning County, with good materials and excellent craftsmanship. In the past, when the season changed, Su Lianyi would just give the shop owner a greeting, and the shop owner would arrange for someone to come to the shop to measure the size and select the material.
Li Qingqing would come here occasionally when she wanted to make new clothes, and she would just put the bill under Su Lianyi's name.
It was already time for the season change, but the shop assistant hadn't come yet. There was no need to rush, as in previous years the shop assistant would sometimes come a few days earlier or later. But after Li Qingqing came back from Xu's house, she was dissatisfied with her clothes no matter how she looked at them.
She wanted to go to the store to pick out the good materials herself, worried that if she was late, the good materials would be sold out.
When they arrived at the store, the shopkeeper was not there, but the clerk was still very warm, calling her Miss Li one after another. When Li Qingqing learned that several batches of Liuyunsha had just arrived in the store, his eyes immediately lit up.
"I want Liuyunsha."
Because he was a regular customer, the waiter kindly suggested, "Liuyunsha is suitable for summer clothes, but now you want to make autumn clothes, you're worried it won't be warm enough."
Li Qingqing didn't care at all: "Then make summer clothes. They can still be worn for a few days. We can choose the materials to make autumn clothes later."
The customer was wealthy and not stingy with his money, so the waiter naturally responded with a smile.
After taking the measurements, the clerk saw that Li Qingqing had chosen four sets, wanting to have one set made of each pattern of Liuyunsha fabric. He smiled and said, "I'd like to say something, but Liuyunsha is expensive, so you have to pay in advance. Miss Li, as a regular customer, you will understand..."
"Pay money?"
Li Qingqing frowned in displeasure: "You are not new here, how come you don't know the rules? In the past, my family always paid the bill and my sister-in-law would pay it. Why would you need to interfere?"
The clerk was a little embarrassed by the scolding, and with a helpless look on his face, he reluctantly explained, "It's not that I'm being nosy, but the shopkeeper Su just said a few days ago that she won't be paying her bills with us anymore. She won't be paying her bills anymore."
Li Qingqing was immediately anxious when she heard this: "What? Are you mistaken? You have always acted like this, how is this possible?"
The guy smiled bitterly: "I can't dare make a mistake on such a small matter."
Four sets of flowing cloud gauze, of the most complicated style, would cost almost thirty taels of silver, which Li Qingqing didn't have. Her face turned pale and then green, and she snorted coldly, "I'll go ask her."
She turned around, walked out of the clothing store and went straight to Mi Ji.
Along the way, Li Qingqing was filled with rage and secretly decided that she would not give the merchant girl any face this time.
But when Li Qingqing rushed into Mi Ji with an angry face, Su Lianyi was not there, even Chen Ning was not there, only the manager and the waiter were there.
No matter how angry she was, there was no reason for her to vent her anger on the manager of Mi Ji. Li Qingqing turned around and went home with a lot of anger in her heart.
This time, she must ask her mother to teach that merchant girl some lessons.
The Li family tolerated this merchant girl showing up in public because she could still make money. Otherwise, how could this merchant girl be worthy of entering their family!
After returning home, Li Qingqing exaggerated and said a lot of things, which made Li Wanhua so angry that she directly informed the servants to find Su Lianyi and ask her to come home for questioning.
At this time, Su Lianyi, accompanied by her cousin Duan Qizheng and Shen Ning, led a large group of people to Lanyuan to catch the adulterer.
The household accounts have been sorted out, and it's time to clear the air.
This time when they entered Lanyuan, they did not hide at all. They rushed in with great fanfare, attracting a group of people to watch the fun.
That is why, when Duan Qizhen kicked open the closed door, the explicit scene of Li Ziyuan hugging his nominal student Xu Yu was instantly revealed to everyone.
Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Wow!"
Eyeballs fell to the ground.
()ヾ(°°)()ヾ(°°)()ヾ(°°)
Li Ziyuan was instantly frightened and while pulling up his pants, he rolled off the bed and crawled towards Su Lianyi.
"Lianyi, please listen to my explanation, please listen to my explanation..."
"Explain."
Over the past few days, Su Lianyi had digested the initial heartbreak and even self-doubt.
At first she would think how bad she was that her husband refused to touch her for three years while he was having sex with other men. But later she figured it out.
It's not her fault. If you have to say it's her fault, you can only blame her for having poor eyesight and choosing such a despicable and shameless scum.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Ziyuan's lips trembled as he stuttered for a long time, not knowing how to explain the situation he had just been in. Then, seeing Duan Qizheng, who was looking furious, and the crowd watching, he hardened his heart and shouted directly, "It was that shameless thing that seduced me."
Knowing that his future and everything he had was in jeopardy, Li Ziyuan almost burst into tears: "Lianyi, you know I can't do it. I told Xu Yu about this, and that bitch told me that he had a way to cure me. I did it all for you, for our future. I was deceived and seduced by him. It was that bitch who seduced me..."
On the bed, Xu Yu, who was already terrified, was shocked when he heard Li Ziyuan's accusation.
"Li Ziyuan, you...you are despicable and shameless!"
Su Lianyi didn't need to instigate him at all. Xu Yu tied his clothes, staggered out of bed, pointed at Li Ziyuan and cursed, "It was this despicable bastard who did this to me. He knew my family was poor and I couldn't get into the government scholarship program based on my academic achievements, so he told me that if I obeyed him, he would help me become a government scholarship student... The first time we met was in the backyard of the county school. He half-forced and half-cajoled me into it!"
Li Ziyuan's face turned pale and blue: "Shut up, you bitch, I only have my wife in my heart. If you hadn't deliberately seduced me..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yu interrupted him with a sneer: "You only have your wife in your heart, and you would poison her?"
A compromising relationship is obviously not very reliable. When disaster strikes, one only wants to protect oneself. Xu Yu's words are vicious: "You poisoned her or asked me to buy the herbs separately. I kept the prescription you gave me just in case today. Li Ziyuan, don't even think about putting all this on me!"
In an instant, the people around were in an uproar.
"Oh my god, they even poisoned me! They're trying to wipe out my entire family!"
"That's right. Shopkeeper Su goes out all day to earn money to support the entire Li family. It's bad enough that he plays with the Rabbit God outside, but he actually wants to poison his wife."
Chen Ning sneered: "How can I seize the property of Shopkeeper Su if I don't harm my first wife... The entire Li family looks down on our Shopkeeper Su. Even my sister-in-law dares to call her a merchant's daughter in public. If they look down on her, why do we want to marry her?"
Duan Qizheng pointed at Li Ziyuan with a face full of anger and cursed: "Needless to say, they are just coveting my cousin's property. Before my cousin got married, there was no Li Mansion. They were just a poor and poor family."
Su Lianyi's face was pale but her expression was calm. "You've been married to me for three years, and we haven't had any children. Everyone else laughed at me for being infertile, but I covered up for you because you told me it was you who couldn't have children... Now it seems it's not that you can't, it's that you only like to marry lowly people like this. You're really disgusting!"
"I didn't, Lianyi, you believe me, you believe me!" Li Ziyuan wanted to go forward and hug Su Lianyi, but was kicked to the ground by Duan Qizheng.
Su Lianyi looked at Xu Yu coldly: "Give me the recipe that Li Ziyuan used to poison me, and I'll give you money to move out of this place, how about that?"
Xu Yu, who had already lost all hope, was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Su Lianyi to be willing to let him go. His eyes were full of regret and shame. After a moment of silence, Xu Yu knelt down and kowtowed to Su Lianyi.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Su, for letting me live. I am willing to testify for you."
Li Ziyuan fell to the ground with a plop, his face ashen...
