Madam Xu didn't even dare to verify her conjecture. If the master knew that Miss Leping existed, then all these years would have been a little terrifying.
But... it shouldn't.
No man would like to see his own flesh and blood outside, not to mention that although Miss Leping was strictly guarded by Mrs. Liu, her life in the Liu family was indeed not so happy.
At least the old lady of the Liu family was a difficult one to get along with.
If the master knew, why did he let Miss Leping live in Liu's house?
Madam Xu couldn't figure it out, so she carried all kinds of speculations in her heart, took tens of thousands of silver notes given by Ji Changze, and chased behind Li Ziqian's car.
Mrs. Liu was checking the account books in her yard, and when she heard Li Ziqian came, she couldn't react, but she still insisted on welcoming people.
Waiting for someone to enter the house, she couldn't hold it anymore as soon as the door closed, and she couldn't hold back her crying anymore. She took Li Ziqian's hand and choked up, "You're here."
Mrs. Liu has been trained for so many years under Mrs. Liu's hands. Although she was vulnerable for a while, she quickly recovered.
Just scolding: "The people in the room are all waiting to see our family jokes, and they want to rely on my master's official position on weekdays, detain us not to separate the family, and now that the master has an accident, he immediately thinks about taking our family property. Get it over and then split up."
"Bah! I'm not as good as they wish!"
"Every mouse is short-sighted, for fear that our master will not be convicted, we talk outside all day long, wishing to put everything on our family, and hurriedly ask the emperor to convict the master, so that they can occupy my family's property. Don't think about it, I can't write a single Liu Lai, if my master is really convicted, what benefits can they get."
She scolded her happily, and Li Ziqian accompanied her, patting her hand from time to time to comfort her.
"Did your family send someone? What did you say?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her tears, and the brush fell down.
"You know what's going on with my parents' family. My parents have long since left, and my adopted brother doesn't even kiss me. Knowing this, they sent someone over there, but they kept telling me to wait. Sheng Yan has something to do, and then go home with the dowry, saying that they are raising me, bah, I have money, a village, and a shop, so do they want them to support me?"
"The most hateful thing is that he didn't even mention a pair of children in the family, he took me home, only brought money and no children, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, I looked at it, they were unreliable, if it really happened I just thought of taking Leping and the others out, although it's a little more difficult, it's better than being in these dens."
Mrs. Liu's situation is very difficult. The wolf on the left and the tiger on the right, but she is still a woman. The world tacitly agrees that a woman's husband depends on either her parents' family or her in-law's family when an accident occurs, so she has become a sweet pastry. I want to get her over so that they can invade their family's property with integrity.
There was no news from Liu Shengyan yet. Those people actually tacitly agreed that he would die, so they rushed to see Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was very angry, but she had nothing to do. After all, this is the way the world is. Without a husband to rely on, women can only rely on others.
Seeing her like this, Li Ziqian could only comfort her softly: "Don't pay attention to those people, it's not worth being angry with them."
"I know, don't worry, my master and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and we know what kind of temperament he is. Even if he really has some strengths and weaknesses, it's for the sake of the people and the Wen Dynasty. No matter what others say, he is a hero in my heart. ."
Mrs. Liu scolded and scolded her emotions.
On the other hand, Li Ziqian thought of Ji Changze inexplicably after listening to her words.
childhood sweethearts, grew up together.
She and Ji Changze did the same.
She also thought she knew what kind of temperament Ji Changze was, and thought he was an upright gentleman.
When she learned that her father had been accused, she was still taking care of Ji Changze's mother in her hometown. Although she rushed from her hometown to the capital urgently, Li Ziqian thought that Ji Changze would help take care of her father along the way.
But later, on the way, he received his father's humiliation in the temple and died, and Ji Changze, after his father's death, stepped on his body and framed him to please the present.
They are also childhood sweethearts, and there is no guessing between the two.
Li Ziqian came back to her senses and stopped thinking about these old things. She only took Mrs. Liu and said her conjecture: "I think, this matter is not that simple..."
Mrs. Liu originally thought that she would face the worst news of her husband at most, but after hearing Li Ziqian's guess about the emperor's reaction, her face turned pale.
"You mean, Leping and the others might also...?"
Li Ziqian nodded reluctantly: "So, it's better to make plans early. I brought some silver taels, which are all savings over the years. If there is something wrong, don't even think about taking care of others..."
"I don't care about them."
Mrs. Liu sneered: "One is a fool's mouth and a snake's heart, and the other is that you don't take advantage of everything on weekdays. When something happens, you come to find a bargain. It's good for these people to be implicated."
She took Li Ziqian's hand: "Good sister, if my master really has something, let's go together, you have endured for so many years, why do you have to endure it any longer? For a ruthless character like Ji Changze, you should stay by his side. How difficult."
Li Ziqian naturally wanted to leave.
Not to mention she didn't want to face Ji Changze, just said that after she left, being able to see her biological daughter every day in an open and honest way was enough to make her heart move.
Before she came to Liu's house, Li Ziqian wanted to go together. After she came, she calmed down.
She dare not go.
If only Mrs. Liu left, there might not be anything. At that time, just find some corpses, put on their clothes, and pretend to be them.
But if she is.
With Ji Changze's scheming, how could he believe so hastily.
At that time, not only people can't escape, but also friends.
And she is not alone like Mrs. Liu. She also has a mother. Her mother has a strong temperament. Since her father died of injustice more than ten years ago, she has been behind closed doors, reciting sutras and praying to Buddha, and swearing that her father will not injustice her every day. Sunrise.
But Li Ziqian knew that her mother was afraid of hurting her.
After all, Ji Changze is the main person who framed his father, and she is Ji Changze's wife. If his mother really shows up, it is hard to guarantee that Ji Changze will not look unsightly.
At that time, Li Ziqian may have to suffer a lot.
Naturally, this is Mrs. Li's idea. Li Ziqian has never suffered in these years. Ji Changze may want to use her to make a name for his beloved wife, or he may want to testify that he has not framed his father-in-law and master by being nice to her. .
In short, no matter what the reason was, even Li Ziqian had to admit that she had never suffered a bit of crime in Ji Mansion over the years. Judging from the appearance, Ji Changze also looked at her from time to time, and repeatedly told the servants in the mansion to take good care of her.
But so what.
She framed her father to death that day, and who will show this affectionate appearance today.
It's just that Li Ziqian didn't want to see him before, nor did she want to make a request.
"Benevolence and righteousness, I looked at him just to wash his reputation in this way."
Speaking of this, Li Ziqian suddenly came to her senses. For her only daughter's marriage, she naturally hoped to find a good husband who could take good care of Leping.
Because that shows that if the current appearance is faked, then Ji Changze's appearance was also faked when there was no accident in the Li family.
She said indignantly: "Auntie has not been out of the house for these years, and the operation of the Li family is all made by someone from Ji Changze, and she has to choose a dozen days a month to visit her aunt, causing many people in the capital to praise him and say that he Although righteousness kills relatives, it is benevolence and righteousness towards your parents' family."
But he gave it to her directly.
"How did you come?"
"He family..."
"Are they reliable?"
Li Ziqian was a little puzzled. Didn't she leave Mama Xu behind and let her see what Ji Changze was doing?
"Master knew that the madam came to Mrs. Liu's house, and handed it over to the slaves for the slaves to bring. He said that Mrs. and Mrs. Liu are good friends. If there is an accident in the Liu family, the madam should help and take care of them, and live in the Liu family. For a few days, help."
She took the money: "You can rest assured, I will let this money be spent on the edge of the knife, and I can't treat your family Leping badly."
Wenchao also had a blind date banquet, of course, it would definitely not say that on the bright side, but they were all under the banner of viewing flowers and so on.
The person who shares the bed is actually such a person with a gentle face and a cold heart, how can he not make his hair stand upright?
But back then, this father's most optimistic student, her husband who she thought was very affectionate, not only did not help her father when he needed help the most, but even stepped on it a few times, sitting on the dirty water that was poured on her father. .
Li Ziqian searched in her mind, only to find an impression that she seemed to have seen at a party when she was young, and nothing else.
If they say it rashly, the two of them don't know how panicked they should be.
He Xingwu...
Madam Xu came in and saluted, "Madam, Madam Liu."
Speaking of Liu Leping, Mrs. Liu had nothing to say.
The elders brought them here, and then they found a way to play group games. At that time, these fathers, who were officials in the court, would be able to look at each other quietly. Generally, girls are thin-skinned, and they won't tell anyone if they like them. On the man's side, it's mostly the girl's own children's fancy, the elders will go to the elders of the girl to talk at will, and then bring the topic around.
This is the first time Li Ziqian has gone out in more than ten years. At first glance, she has no impression of this family at all.
And after doing this, he still had a face that looked like nothing had happened, taking care of his mother-in-law and his wife. He looked so affectionate that he was exactly the same as before the accident.
After thinking about it, I can't think about it.
Li Ziqian and Mrs. Liu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Li Ziqian remained silent, and she also found it ironic.
"Yes, the master asked the old slave to bring it to his wife, the old slave thought, perhaps the master thinks that Mrs. Liu needs money to pay for it."
She handed the box to Mrs. Liu and said with a smile, "It's just right now. I was just saying that the money is not enough. Put it away and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"Hey, it's just a pity that Leping has reached her age, and she is talking to her recently. Ben's choice is almost the same. Who knows that this is the case, and we can only talk about it when we settle down."
So she just took out the box and handed it to Li Ziqian.
"Is this what he gave you?"
"Mother Xu?"
"How can I charge so much money, take it back quickly."
Li Ziqian hurriedly pulled her over and asked nervously, "But what did Ji Changze find?"
No, that's not true, he always seemed to be very talkative.
Li Ziqian was thinking when a girl outside reported that it was Mammy Xu beside Li Ziqian who was here.
When did Ji Changze speak so well?
Only then did Mrs. Liu remember that there was another Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Liu said: "It's He Xingwu, do you remember? He is about the same age as us, so the eldest son of the He family is his eldest son."
As a student who was brought up by his father, Ji Changze has received much favor from his father. He is also her husband, and he is reasonable. Even if he does not try his best to help, he should do his best.
"Where is my money? It belongs to Ji Changze. Didn't you say you wanted to beat him? This money should only be taken from him, so take it."
Li Ziqian forced the box into Mrs. Liu's hand and said softly, "Leping... I still want you to take care of it. You can take the money. I know that you are not suffering outside, and I feel at ease."
His father's name was clear all his life, and he was ruined like this.
"I'm still watching, if I have a fancy, can I not tell you? I watched a few before, and I took Leping to participate in a few blind dates. Don't look at us Leping is not visible on weekdays. Yes, many sons like her."
Li Ziqian opened the box and was shocked again when she saw tens of thousands of taels of silver notes inside.
Madam Xu looked hesitant and didn't know what to say. She wanted to express her speculation, but looking at Madam and Liu, who looked like a frightened bird, she felt that she had guessed wrong?
Li Ziqian sometimes feels cold all over her body when she thinks of it.
"Negotiating a relative? Can you choose a good family?"
Li Ziqian smiled: "I'll forget it, you know, I'm weak, and going out is also a drag. Just taking medicine every month costs a lot of money, and our savings can't support it, plus my mother is still there. , I might as well just be in Beijing, so I can easily let you know when something happens."
Mrs. Liu said: "He family, as you know, Mr. He has a third-rank official position. Although he is a military officer, his eldest son is a good student. I heard that the master who taught him boasted a lot, and he should have something to say with Leping, not to mention them. Baba came to beg, I originally liked their family."
Tens of thousands of taels, even for Ji Changze, would be very laborious to take out.
She always thought that she knew enough about Ji Changze after the events of the year, but now it seems that she still can't guess this person.
Generally speaking, the elders of the girl will understand after just a few words, and then it will only be seen if there is any intention. If both parties have intentions, then the marriage can be discussed.
Li Ziqian held the box, not knowing what Ji Changze's idea was.
