Mrs. Li stood up. She forced herself to calm down, tightened her handkerchief and looked out the door.
Li Changyan's voice was very clear, and she could hear it clearly. It must be Qing'e who said something to Li Changyan. Mrs. Li couldn't help but regret it. She should have thought that there must be something inside when Qing'e left the Li family.
I'm afraid Qing'e, like Qingzhu, bumped into her meeting with the prince.
She was careless. When Qingzhu was waterboarded, she recognized him. She didn't mention that anyone else knew about it, so she didn't let anyone continue to investigate. Thinking about it now, she can't help but regret it.
She wanted to keep Qing'e by her side to win over the master, and it was because Qing'e was smart. She didn't misjudge the person, but Qing'e didn't want to be of the same mind as her.
She should take action when Qing'e walked out of Li's house. After all, she was the maid who had been serving her for many years. She might have noticed some clues, but she still didn't feel cruel.
The prince is right, you can't be fettered by these emotions. If you have more emotions than reason, you will make mistakes. She has been teaching Xu'er according to the prince's words for these years, but she didn't expect that she did the wrong thing first.
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and walked forward.
The mother in charge wanted to stop her, but Mrs. Li pushed her away.
The government officials in the yard surrounded Li Changyan. Li Maozheng didn't know what to do. Mrs. Li had already walked over: "Master, what's going on?"
Mrs. Li opened her mouth to speak, and Li Changyan's eyes immediately stared at Mrs. Li's face. Mrs. Li was startled. She had never seen Li Changyan look like this before. He had an angry look on his face, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
She has long since learned how to get along with Li Changyan. As long as she obeys him and gives him enough money, he can happily call her a good wife.
She also has no expectations for Li Changyan. As long as Li Changyan does his best, she and Xu'er will be safe, so no matter what Li Changyan does, she can think of ways to appease him.
But this time it was different, Li Changyan seemed to be breaking free from her grasp.
Mrs. Li pursed her lips and walked over, looking at Li Changyan with concern: "Master, don't scare me, I was fine just now, this is..."
Li Mao couldn't help but shouted anxiously: "Mom..." He was afraid that his father would do something in his anger, and wanted his mother to stay away temporarily.
Mrs. Li glanced at Li Mao blankly: "Brother Mao, what happened to your father?"
Mrs. Li took another step forward.
"Ms. Wang, I have something to ask you." Li Changyan spoke fiercely again.
"I am here, what do you want to ask?" Compared with Li Changyan's situation at this moment, Mrs. Li seemed calm and calm.
Mrs. Li took another step forward, and Li Changyan stretched out his hand to grab Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li resisted the urge to escape and waited there without hiding.
The officer whipped Li Changyan again, and Mrs. Li stepped forward to shield Li Changyan.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please say it and don't anger the people in the Yamen," Mrs. Li said, "After all, we are..."
Before Mrs. Li could finish her words, Li Changyan had already grabbed her bun, and Mrs. Li threw herself forward.
Li Mao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Changyan: "Father, don't be like this. You can't just accept one side of the story. Now that you have met your mother, you can talk to her carefully."
"I'll have a nice talk with her right now." Li Changyan dragged Mrs. Li towards the house.
Mrs. Li lost her balance and fell forward, her knees immediately fell to the ground. She suppressed her disgust and held Li Changyan's arm with her hands, without resisting him.
What happened today was unusual. Li Changyan was able to break out of the house where he was imprisoned and torment her as he pleased. Someone must have tacitly approved of it. Otherwise, how could he do this under the supervision of these government officials? Maybe Song Chengxuan had already gotten the news.
, just to watch them, she can't act rashly, can't anger Li Changyan anymore, lest more clues will be revealed.
Mrs. Li thought of this and glanced at the mother in charge. The mother in charge's outstretched hand fell down abruptly.
Li Changyan's indifference caused Mrs. Li to be dragged so hard that she couldn't help but shed tears.
Li Changyan threw Mrs. Li to the ground, then pointed at Qing'e in the room: "Do you still know her?"
Mrs. Li looked over, was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Qing'e, what are you doing... aren't you already dead?"
Qing'e didn't say anything, she just saluted Mrs. Li.
Li Mao stood there and watched all this. First, Uncle Jiang told him about the relationship between his ninth brother and Gao Jiansong, and then he learned from Grandma Song that Uncle Jiang was a remnant of King Jian, and then he and his father became members of King Jian.
, these things made him feel like he was in a nightmare, but before he woke up from this nightmare, he had not yet come to his senses. The maid who used to serve at home reported that his mother was having an affair with another man.
That man is Lord Takamatsu.
My father and my mother were loving and considerate to each other just now, but now my father has changed his face and is violating my mother like this.
What exactly happened here?
In his mind, his mother would never engage in an affair with a man. She was not only sensible but also very virtuous. She worked hard to raise him and his brothers. In his heart, no woman was stronger than his mother.
His father always praised that women like his mother were hard to find and that he was lucky to have his mother. He also asked them to look for women like their mother when looking for wives and houses.
Suddenly everything became so scary.
"Tell me," Li Changyan said, "do you have a private relationship with Gao Jiansong? Did Gao Jiansong help me when I was transferred to Taiyuan Prefecture? Was the money you gave me a gift from Gao Jiansong? What is your relationship with him?
What is the relationship?
The court said that Takamatsu had someone send me a letter to meet me in Huailaiwei. I didn't receive the letter at all. Did Takamatsu's letter reach you..."
When Mrs. Li heard Li Changyan mention Gao Jiansong, although she was frightened, she also felt lucky. Fortunately, Li Changyan did not doubt the prince.
After saying this, Li Changyan seemed to understand something: "We were originally going back to Taiyuan, but the court suddenly transferred me to Datong. I am still wondering why this is so. Did you and Gao Jiansong have already discussed it, and took the opportunity to transfer me?
, you two come to meet each other in Huailaiwei."
Mrs. Li's heart sank: "Master, what are you talking about? I've been with you all day long, don't you know if I have received the letter? So many people are watching, and someone secretly sent a letter.
No one noticed? Whose words did you listen to to slander me?"
Li Changyan said coldly: "Someone saw your private meeting. Qingzhu was killed because he broke up your adultery."
Mrs. Li's eyes widened. She seemed to be shocked by Li Changyan's words. After a while, she turned to look at Qing'e, her lips moved and said, "Did Qing'e say it to the master?"
Li Changyan did not deny it.
Mrs. Li burst into tears: "Master, I have been married to you for so many years, I have given birth to children for you, and served the elders of the family. You question me like this just because of the words of a slave. Is it true that you have treated me like a guest all these years?"
"
After saying this, Mrs. Li glanced at Li Mao sadly.
"That's all. If you think about me like this, there's nothing you can say. It's just that... my innocence cannot be ruined by someone else's hands..." Mrs. Li stood up unsteadily after finishing speaking, and suddenly faced the wall next to her.
