"I just want to know whether my father's death was an accident or man-made."
Li Yuyan: "..."
Li Yujun looked at Li Yuyan's eyes seriously:
"Of course, if you want to clear your side, I will never object, but... clearing your side requires a lot of funds, and you have to be prepared for this!"
It’s all said and done, and Li Yuyan would be stupid if he didn’t understand it!
"I have my own plans for funding, so Brother Second Emperor doesn't have to worry about it."
"That's good."
The two brothers said a few more words and then left.
Li Yujun had to go back and report to Li Yuquan the "real" situation he investigated.
Li Yuyan decided to return to Linjiacun first.
Firstly, he had to discuss something with Lin Xiao, and secondly, he really missed Lin Xiao.
…
Han Ruoshui was very happy after learning that Lin Xiao was going to marry her as a concubine, and she was able to get out of bed and work the next day.
Lin Xiao was not idle either. At dawn, she watered the watermelon seedlings planted in the backyard.
With chicken and duck manure as fertilizer, the watermelon seedlings are growing well.
If this trend continues, we should be able to eat watermelon this summer!
After finishing her work, she went to Mazi's house again to discuss with him about marrying Han Xi'er as a concubine.
At this time, Mazi, who had just brought Han Xier home from the Barefoot Doctor to recuperate, was sitting in the courtyard watching Lu Xiang boil medicine.
The small courtyard was filled with the strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine, and there was a large bowl filled with water on the side.
Seeing Lu Xiang's skillful way of boiling medicine, Lin Xiao felt a trace of unbearable feeling in his heart:
"Such a good girl, are you really going to have two girls serving one husband from now on?"
She began to struggle in her heart as to whether or not she should tell Mazi about this matter.
"Xiao Linzi, are you here to get coarse salt? I will fight it for you right now!"
When Mazi saw Lin Xiao coming, he quickly got up. When he was about to get the coarse salt, Lin Xiao called out:
"Mazi, wait, I'm coming to see you today... you two have something to do."
Lin Xiao thought about it and decided to let Lu Xiang participate. She was Mazi's legal wife and had the right to discuss it together!
"That's it. Then you sit down for a while. The medicine should be ready soon."
Mazi said and sat back down.
Lin Xiao walked to a small stool in the courtyard and sat down, quietly watching Lu Xiang boil the medicine.
Watching quick people work is actually a kind of relaxation for the brain.
It’s just like watching stress-relieving videos like popping pimples, trimming donkey’s hooves, and washing carpets.
After a while, Han Xier's medicine was ready.
Mazi couldn't wait to pick up the hot medicine bowl and return to the back room. He had to feed Han Xi'er to drink it himself, so that he could completely feel at ease.
Lu Xiang looked at her husband who was attentive to other women and showed a bitter smile.
She silently packed away the medicine-making tools, but the pain in her heart could not be described in words.
Due to her unattractive appearance, she was reduced to following the government's wedding procession to Linjia Village.
For some reason, Mazi fell in love with her at first sight.
After marriage, the two of them can be regarded as harmonious, and they are in harmony with each other.
Although it has only been a little over a year, the relationship between the two has always been good.
She knew from the beginning that there was another woman deep in Mazi's heart, because every time he dreamed about it at midnight, Mazi would always call out that woman's name.
Although she was very sad and unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
I can only choose to endure it silently, not letting Mazi know my feelings, and I don't want to embarrass Mazi and put Mazi in a dilemma.
She just wants to protect Mazi silently, and she just wants to be the most virtuous and gentle wife in Mazi's heart, that's all!
After a while, Mazi walked out with an empty medicine bowl with a relaxed look on his face.
The three of them sat down in the courtyard facing each other.
Lin Xiao was the first to speak:
"Last night, the village chief told me that he wanted to save Han Xi'er's life."
Mazi was immediately surprised when he heard this:
"Village chief...did he really say that?"
"Well, he said that Han Xi'er was a good girl and should not be buried in Lin Da's hands."
Lin Xiao said truthfully.
"How does the village chief want to save Xi'er?"
Mazi asked eagerly, he was very excited inside, he knew that his Xi'er was finally saved!
"The village chief wants to make peace with Lin Da for Han Xi'er. Only in this way can Han Xi'er be completely freed from Lin Da's hands. However, making peace and divorce is not an easy task. I will settle the compensation. The key is to have three
I’ll find my next home within a day.”
After listening to Lin Xiao's narration, Mazi felt agitated in his heart. He was looking for a new home, wasn't he just the right candidate?
However, he did not take the initiative to say it, but looked at the taciturn Lu Xiang with a guilty conscience.
To be honest, it is definitely impossible for him to say that he has no feelings for Lu Xiang after living together for such a long time.
It's just that he has another woman in his heart, and he can't tolerate Lu Xiang at all.
He knew that Lu Xiang must be feeling wronged, and he didn't want Lu Xiang to be wronged in the slightest.
But he didn't dare to show off too much, lest Lu Xiang misunderstood something.
"Head of the family, it's time for Sister Xi'er to enjoy her blessings. Why don't I ask her for her opinion. If she agrees, you can marry her in. Even if it's a concubine, it's better than being beaten to death by Mrs. Lin."
Lu Xiang's eyes dimmed a bit, but she quickly regained her energy.
After saying these words, she struggled in her heart for a long time.
What does a woman want in this life? She just wants to marry a good man, have a son and a half, and live the rest of her life in an ordinary way!
"Madam, you...really don't mind?"
Although in the Daxia Dynasty, a man did not need the consent of his head wife to take a concubine, in the future, the head wife would have the right to punish concubines.
If Lu Xiang did not sincerely agree to his marrying Han Xi'er, Qi would torture Han Xi'er when he was not at home in the future.
At that time, for Han Xi'er, wouldn't it be like entering the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den again?
He feels sorry for Han Xier!
"Of course I don't mind! This is my choice. I have no complaints. I just hope that you can treat Sister Xi'er well in the future and that the three of us can live a harmonious life."
Lu Xiang's voice was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation, as if she had already made up her mind.
Mazi felt guilty in his heart. He didn't expect Lu Xiang to be so generous.
"Okay, you two sit down for a while, and I'll go check out Sister Xi'er's voice."
After saying that, Lu Xiang stood up and walked into the back room.
Mazi smiled awkwardly at Lin Xiao:
"Xiao Linzi, Lin Da, can he agree?"
"It doesn't matter whether he agrees with it or not, as long as my widowed aunt agrees!"
Yes, Lin Xiao has already thought about it. As long as the widowed aunt agrees, it will not work if Lin Da refuses to divorce!
As for how to get the widowed aunt to agree, Shan Ren has a clever plan!
After a while, Lu Xiang walked out of the back room with relaxed steps.
"How is it? Xi'er...what did she say?"
"Sister Xi'er agreed."
Before Lu Xiang finished speaking, Mazi happily picked her up and spun her around:
