As soon as Li Gensheng stepped outside with the silver, he was stopped by several servants of the Tao family.
"Old Li, how dare you! The young master has ordered you to stay away from any part of Furong County, yet you've secretly hidden here..."
"You broke my son's legs, why are you still causing me trouble?" Li Gensheng asked angrily.
"Why? Don't you know our young master's temperament?"
"Young Master said he wants your whole family to disappear completely!" As he spoke, one of them pulled out a knife and approached Li Gensheng.
This slum is inhabited by people from the lowest rungs of society. No one has the ability to save anyone else; everyone is struggling to survive.
The servant grabbed Li Gensheng by the collar and raised a gleaming blade, ready to stab him in the heart.
"Old Li, don't blame me when you get to the underworld. Blame yourself for not cherishing the opportunity and not leaving Furong County in time!"
Li Gensheng subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, instead of the expected pain, a loud clanging sound rang in my ears.
The servant, in pain, released his grip, and the dagger fell to the ground. He was immediately enraged and shouted loudly.
"Who dares to ruin my plans?"
However, before he could even see what was happening, a sharp pain shot through his chest and he was sent flying.
“County Lady…” Li Gensheng looked at her in shock, momentarily speechless.
The other servant from the Tao family, regaining his senses, grabbed his weapon and attacked Liu Yingying.
These lowly thugs only knew how to fight brute force and were completely devoid of any fighting skills. They were easily defeated and knocked to the ground in just a few moves.
It was only then that one of them recognized Liu Yingying, "It's...it's you?"
The last time, at the entrance of Longfeng West Garden, Liu Yinyin hit Tao Wenhai, and this servant was with Tang Wenhai at the time.
What a small world!
However, since Liu Yingying had decided to get involved in Li Gensheng's affairs, she was not afraid of going against the Tao family.
“Go back and tell your master, Li Gengsheng, that I, Liu Yingying, have protected him. If he’s not satisfied, then let him come find me!”
The three looked at each other in disbelief. "Damn, this is too arrogant!"
"roll!"
The three of them got up and ran away...
After this incident, Liu Yingying was also worried about letting Li Gensheng go to get the medicine alone again, so she made a suggestion;
"It seems Tao Wenhai won't let your family off easily. It's not safe for you to stay here any longer. Why don't you come with me to Taoyuan Village to take refuge?"
Although Li Gensheng didn't want to worry his aunt or trouble her, his family was truly desperate and gratefully agreed to go to Taoyuan Village together.
Upon arriving at Taoyuan Village, the three members of the Li family, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, went directly to stay at Grandma Zhang's house.
Grandma Zhang had been looking forward to meeting her younger brother, and now that she had finally met him, she never expected to see such a scene.
The siblings embraced and wept bitterly.
Liu Yingying gently comforted her from the side, "Grandma Zhang, your eyes are only getting a little better, please don't cry and ruin them again."
Grandma Zhang just held her hand and kept thanking her.
Liu Yingying paid for Li Mu's medical treatment out of her own pocket and applied medicine before returning home.
Grandma Zhang and her grandson Bao'er originally ate with Liu Yingying's family.
Now that there are three members of the Li family, one old and one sick, it's not appropriate to let them start the fire themselves.
Anyway, the small workshop has someone who will cook two meals for the staff every day. Liu Yingying went over and told the person in charge, Shi Sanmei, that starting today, the meals for the Li family's three generations should also be included.
In the afternoon, Zhu Jiawang came to find Liu Yingying and said that his father wanted to see her.
Zhu Ziqian is definitely up to no good again!
Liu Yingying was very certain of this.
But now that things have come to this, she's curious to see what other tricks the other party has up their sleeve.
Then he went to the old house to see Zhu Ziqian.
Since moving into her new home, Liu Yingying has rarely set foot here again.
After Zhu Ziqian returned, she never came again.
Now, several months later, the courtyard has changed somewhat compared to before.
It added a touch of gloom to the already dilapidated state!
Zhu Ziqian was sitting alone in the confinement room, brewing tea. He waved to her, "Yingniang, you're here. Come and sit down!"
Liu Yingying did not walk over, but instead crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame, speaking indifferently.
"What do you want from me?"
Zhu Ziqian paused slightly as he roasted the tea, and said, "Have we, as husband and wife, become so estranged?"
"That's a question you'll have to ask yourself!"
He never took Liu Yingying seriously.
He married another woman after passing the imperial examination in order to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy!
So, what gives him the audacity to ask that question?
"Yingniang, I want to have a good talk with you. Please come and sit down."
Liu Yingying didn't know how long he was going to keep nagging, and thinking that standing like this was tiring, she simply went over and sat down.
"What do you want to talk to me about? Divorce?"
If he's willing to part ways amicably, Liu Yingying doesn't want to continue entangled with him.
"If you really want a divorce, I'm willing to grant your wish," Zhu Ziqian said, feigning sadness.
Liu Yingying almost lost her temper again, "Can you stop being so hypocritical? It's disgusting, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting you!"
Zhu Ziqian's eyelids twitched slightly;...
"Yingniang, actually, I invited you here today because I want to apologize for what happened before."
"I think you're right. We're not a good match. I have my own grand ambitions, and you probably don't have any feelings for me either. So, it's best if we part ways amicably..."
"Then stop talking nonsense and hand over the divorce papers!" Liu Yingying held out her hand.
Zhu Ziqian took a deep breath and forced a calm expression, saying, "Don't rush, finish this cup of tea with me first, and then I'll give you the divorce papers."
Liu Yingying raised an eyebrow; "What, is this a farewell tea?"
Okay, if he's really willing to write a divorce agreement, then having a cup of tea with him isn't something I can't tolerate...
Zhu Ziqian had always loved drinking tea, and after spending a year in the capital, his tea-brewing skills became increasingly proficient.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Yingying; "This is Zisun tea from Huzhou. It's not available in Ningzhou; it's only for high-ranking officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court. Please try it..."
That's so incredibly flashy!
Liu Yingying rolled her eyes and took the tea. She brought it to her lips and blew on it gently. The fragrance wafted into her nostrils, but her eyes changed slightly.
There's something wrong with this tea!
So that's where he was waiting for her...
Under Zhu Ziqian's expectant gaze, Liu Yingying gently put down the teacup again, and Zhu Ziqian began to feel nervous.
"What's wrong, Yingniang? Do you dislike the tea?"
How could an uneducated peasant woman like her distinguish between good and bad tea?
Liu Yingying: "You said this tea is only supplied to officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court. I'm curious, how did you, a seventh-rank official, get such good tea?"
He naturally obtained it from the Yong'an Marquis's residence, but he couldn't let Liu Yingying know.
"This was a gift from a good friend of mine in the capital. His grandfather happened to be a third-rank official in the imperial court."
"What, Yingniang, do you even doubt this?"
