"What a misunderstanding!" The man's angry voice became louder, followed by crisp slaps.

Chu Yunli stood under the courtyard wall. The man next door seemed very angry, and his voice was not as low as before, "Do you need me to see you roll onto the bed with my own eyes? It's not a misunderstanding?"

Then I heard a muffled groan from the woman, and the man's voice continued, "You fucking said that if you find someone who can read, the child will also be able to read in the future. I obeyed you, but the father of this child is me. You fucking said

If you want to change your child's father, I won't stop you. From today on, my He family doesn't have a wife!"

"No, no, no..." came the woman's pleading voice, "I just stopped by to take a look. I left something behind last time, so I have to take it back, right?"

There was silence for a while next door, except for the woman's low cry. After a while, the man's warning voice was heard, "I won't do this again!"

Immediately afterwards, the door to the yard next door opened, and the carriage drove away outside. It seemed that many more people had entered. Then there was a burst of punches and kicks, and the sound of someone's mouth being covered in pain.

After a long time, the door to the courtyard next door was opened again. Chu Yunli saw through the crack in the door that four or five people walked out. They were all tall and cursing, muttering, "I don't know how this kid offended He."

master……"

"It is said that he is a scholar, but he lost one of his legs. Can he still make it to next year's provincial examination?"

With a broken leg, Chu Yunli never expected that Lin Lixia would live like this just after leaving the Lin family. She stood behind the door, surprised for a moment, and then Mrs. Lin next door ran out quickly.

Probably call a doctor.

The next day, the news came out that Lin Xiucai had broken his leg. It was said that the leg bones were broken. They had to be wrapped with good medicinal materials, but they might not be able to heal well. People who have achieved fame are most taboo on their bodies.

If the injury is serious, even though you have merit and fame, your way forward will be blocked.

People say that a scholar is poor. That’s because his reputation as a scholar is actually of little use. Apart from being exempted from taxes and levies, and not kneeling when he meets an official, there is not much benefit. Even if it is a little bit, it is not enough for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. If you want to get ahead, you still have to do it.

You have to be a civil servant. Even if you really can't pass the Jinshi exam, you can still donate your official position. After you become an official, there are endless possibilities.

After that day, Chu Yunli never saw Lin Lixia again. Occasionally, she would see Lin's mother going out for shopping. She also had a sad face, and even if they met, they would no longer talk to her.

The wedding day came in a blink of an eye, and Li Shaoan came here often these days, but Mrs. Li only came on the day of the proposal, and the rest of the six rites were done by Xi Po. Even though she was not married yet, she knew that she was not welcomed by her mother-in-law.

Granny Hu didn't keep any of the betrothal gift from the Li family. She made all the dowry for her and took it back. As for the dowry, she had actually prepared it once, and that time she prepared it quite well. This time, she prepared the necessary items.

The rest she needed was two hundred taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box. That was all she could take out.

On the morning of the wedding day, Chu Yunli, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, sat on the bed. Granny Hu held her hand and sighed, "With this dowry, the Li family will probably look down on you. Fortunately, Shaoan is a good person.

You have to live a good life."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunli was very indifferent, "No matter how rich the dowry is, people may not like me."

How could it be so easy for her to go back to the Li family?

Not to mention her and divorce, her identity was once a maid of the Li family, and she was destined to be looked down upon. She earned her face, not given it by others.

After hearing what she said, Granny Hu looked worried, "What do you think you will gain from this marriage? Can't you find someone from an ordinary family background who doesn't have to worry about food and drink to live a happy life?"

If she was an ordinary girl, it would be possible, but she is not, and she has been going through this life just to find him. Now that she has finally found him, she will definitely marry him!

She hugged the old man and said, "Mom, I will live a good life, really."

While the mother and daughter were talking, the sound of joy outside was getting closer and closer, and the wedding team arrived.

Granny Hu put a hijab on her, the door was opened, and Li Shaoan, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, picked her up, put her into the sedan amidst the good-natured cheers of the crowd, walked around the main street of the county, and went straight to the Li family's house.

door.

When the second young master of the Li family got married, the entire Li family was very lively, and many people came to congratulate her. But speaking of the second young lady of the Li family, she was not of a high origin. It is said that the second young master of the Li family knelt down in front of Mr. and Mrs. Li and begged for her.

I won’t marry you.

How can parents compete with their son? The marriage is finally done. Although everyone doesn't say it, they all think in their hearts that this is a woman who has the means to climb up the ladder.

Entering through the gate, going to the church to get married, everything went smoothly. Chu Yunli knew that even if Mrs. Li didn't like her or Li Shaoan, nothing would go wrong in the marriage. If anything happened, it would be her.

If the manager is unlucky, his reputation will be ruined.

After being sent to the bridal chamber, Chu Yunli's hijab was lifted by him, and both of them were smiling. After drinking each other's glasses, Li Shaoan kicked Xipo out, squeezed her hand, and whispered, "I'll be back in a moment.

.”

After a pause, he said, "I will ask someone to bring you food. Also, my sister-in-law may bring them over in a while. If they say something unpleasant, just say you are tired and have them be kicked away..."

"

Hearing the expulsion, the corners of Chu Yunli's lips raised slightly, "I understand."

After he left, Chu Yunli sat in front of the dressing table and took off the wedding crown on her head. The door was pushed open, and the little girl brought food in. She was not polite. Originally, she couldn't eat when she got up early in the morning and put on makeup.

I was already hungry by now.

Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door, and the little girl tentatively asked, "Madam?"

There should be many acquaintances outside. Chu Yunli wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Go and open it."

The leader was Li Shaoan's brother Li Zhangan's wife He, who was also the woman who ordered Lan Yue and the others to be sold. Behind them were the third girl Li Yulong and the fourth girl Li Yuwei. Plus a few young women and girls she didn't know, who should be

Relatives of the Li family.

The female family members came over to talk to the newlyweds. In fact, this rule is not friendly to the newlyweds at all. When two families are getting married, everyone has to save face. That’s okay. People like Chu Yunli are dating before they get married.

It's really hard to bear a grudge.

"Second younger brother and sister." Mrs. He walked in with a smile and looked her up and down, "I really didn't expect you to have such a good fortune at the beginning. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you leave the house. Then I wouldn't have... a miserable life.

…”

The tone is meaningful.

He's family is also a businessman, one of the leading wealthy businessmen. She is the youngest daughter in the family. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she is also very pampered. Selling her husband's maidservant as soon as she enters the house is something that no one can do.

Chu Yunli lowered her head and smiled shyly, "Yes, one's fate is unpredictable in one's life. Who knew that after going around and around, we would become a family again."

While she was talking, she glanced at Li Yuwei. If this girl's temperament was different in the past, she would have jumped up. Now she keeps her head down and silent. It can be seen that she is very unhappy, but she does not say a word.

No matter how dissatisfied the He family is, it is difficult to refute the words of a family. Many of the people she brought with her are relatives of the Li family, so they cannot be allowed to go back and have more to talk about.

Therefore, she felt a little uninterested and felt that there were outsiders around, so she couldn't let go. After talking for a long time, she left with them.

Not long after Chu Yunli went to wash up, the drunk Li Shaoan was helped back. When the attendant who was supporting him exited, when she wiped his face with a handkerchief, his hand was caught by him, "Madam, I myself

Come."

His eyes are bright, his words are clear, but he's still a little drunk?

"Are you pretending?" Chu Yunli asked in surprise.

Li Shaoan said seriously, "Of course, there are flowers and candles in the wedding room, how can I get drunk?" As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed the fingers in his hand.

Chu Yunli: "..." Why are you becoming more and more cunning now? What an honest person you used to be.

Just listen to him ask, "Sister-in-law, has she given you any trouble?"

"No." Chu Yunli shook her head, but she just said a few words with a gun and a stick. In fact, she was true to her words and her hands. She could make noisy arguments and beat people. He

Apart from a slight advantage in status, there is no other place where she can suffer.

Li Shaoan thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid. If she makes things difficult for you, just ignore her."

The flowers and candles in the bridal chamber were naturally very beautiful. When Chu Yunli woke up the next morning, she looked into the deep eyes of the person beside her pillow. She looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark. She pulled down the quilt and said, "I'll sleep a little longer."

"

"Okay." His voice was hoarse, but she didn't take it seriously. She turned over and continued to sleep, feeling him hugging her even tighter. It was early autumn, and it was already a bit chilly in the morning and evening. It was more comfortable if he hugged her tightly.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that he was still staring at her and asked in surprise, "Aren't you asleep?"

Li Shaoan shook his head, his eye circles were a little red. Seeing this, Chu Yunli became more and more confused, "What's wrong? Are you getting cold? Or do you regret marrying me?"

Hearing the last question, he hugged her tighter, "Mingxuan, how could I regret marrying you? I'm just afraid of missing you."

Chu Yunli was still a little sleepy, but he was completely shocked. She reached out and touched his eyes, "Do you remember?"

The time when he thinks of her is getting earlier and earlier. Will he think of her very early in the future but be unable to find her in his lifetime?

Now is not the time to dwell on this. The two of them still had to serve tea. As they walked all the way to the main courtyard, Chu Yunli asked in a low voice, "Why do I think your mother is not too interested in you?"

Although those mothers-in-law would accept her in the past, most of them did so because of their son and love for the house. This time Mrs. Li accepted her more out of indifference and did not value her daughter-in-law at all.

Li Shaoan squeezed her hand tightly, "She is not my biological mother."

He took two deep breaths, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said in a low voice, "My mother is the direct wife of the Li family's Ming matchmaker. Now this is the step-wife. She was first the girl of the first marriage, and later she became a concubine, and then a wife.

My wife..."

The smile on his face was a bit sarcastic, "It's my father who got such an average wife."

Therefore, Li Zhangan should be the eldest son of a concubine. Chu Yunli frowned slightly, "What about your mother?"

Li Shaoan shook his head, "She's gone long ago. If my mother were still alive, she wouldn't be a stepwife. My mother died when I was four years old. They thought I didn't remember. My mother said she died of illness, but

The blood that came out of my nose before I left was all black. Actually, I really don’t remember it. I just remembered it last night.”

Poisoned to death.

The person who took action was no one else except this wife.

The two of them had already walked outside the main courtyard while they were talking. Li Shaoan lowered his voice and said, "So, as long as you have a decent appearance, if you care too much, you will make yourself uncomfortable."
