Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 216 Evil slaves deceive the master
It happened so suddenly that Li Qinzai had no time to stop it.

Of course Li Qinzai knew what Qiaoer was building, but he didn't expect that Qiao'er would light the fuse immediately after it was built.

Also, the two people who were blown out of the house were very strange, and Li Qinzai didn't know each other.

But this is obviously the house where Cui Jie lived, but two strangers ran out of it, causing Cui Jie and Cong Shuang to sit in the courtyard and wipe their tears. Qiaoer, who has always been sensible and well-behaved, did not hesitate to set up a big firecracker to blow them up. These two people are not good numbers.

Li Qinzai decided to stand in line without thinking.

reason?

In this situation, there is no need to reason, and there is no need to distinguish right from wrong. It is over if you help relatives or not.

The joy of reunion after a long absence was shattered. Li Qinzai did not expect to encounter such a big surprise just after returning.

A man and a woman who were blown out of the house by Qiao'er were both middle-aged. The man was wearing a blue dress and a green haircut, and the woman was wearing a blue hairpin skirt. They were obviously servants of wealthy families.

A man and a woman were still in shock after being blasted out, and they screamed in the yard for a long time before they calmed down.

Then he looked around to find the real culprit, and when he saw Qiao'er with an unruly face, he immediately recognized it was Qiao'er, and walked towards Qiao'er with a fierce look on his face.

Li Qinzai stood outside the courtyard and looked at them quietly. Liu Asi next to him pressed the handle of the knife on his waist and said softly: "Fifth Young Master, I'm afraid they will be bad for Mr. Xiao Lang, should we..."

Li Qinzai shook his head calmly: "Let's see first."

A man and a woman did not come to Qiao'er, but Cui Jie stopped him first, staring at them with angry almond eyes.

"How dare you be presumptuous!" Cui Jie scolded angrily.

A man and a woman paused, the man lowered his head and said: "In front of Miss, how dare a villain be presumptuous, it is really this brat..."

Cui Jie interrupted: "Pay attention to your diction, the brat you are talking about is the great-grandson of the Duke of England."

The middle-aged woman next to her muttered unconvinced, "It's just a concubine..."

Li Qinzai outside the yard heard it clearly, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Cui Jie said coldly: "You call yourself 'little people' and 'servants' in front of me, but you don't have the etiquette of servants at all, and instead you deceive the master. When will it be your turn for the Cui family in Qingzhou? Are you in charge? Get the hell out of here!"

The middle-aged man calmly said: "Miss, forgive me, the villain came here on orders, and what he told was the words of the mistress of the house, and he did not deceive the master in any way."

Cui Jie sneered: "Who is the housewife? I don't know."

The middle-aged man still didn't care and said: "My father's spring has been renewed. Miss didn't know it before, but I must know it now."

Cui Jie's eyes were filled with tears unconsciously, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's my father's business, so it has nothing to do with me."

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but said: "My father Xu Xian's wife was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, so you should respect her as your mother."

Cui Jie burst into tears, and said coldly: "I only have one mother in this life, and she has passed away."

The middle-aged woman smiled, but the smile was full of vitriol and ridicule, which was extremely disgusting.

"Miss recognizes her mother or not, that's your family business, servants don't dare to talk too much. But now the mistress of the Cui family in Qingzhou has sent a message. Both the Cui family and the Wang family are powerful families in the world, and the two families have already married."

"If Miss is married to the son of the third house of Wang's head branch, and even more intimate, the mistress sent us here for this purpose. Please think about it, Miss."

Cui Jie said coldly: "Are you crazy? My parents have already betrothed me to the grandson of the Duke of England. The engagement has been completed and we are about to get married. Now they want me to marry someone else?"

The middle-aged woman smiled: "Miss has escaped marriage for more than half a year, isn't she also resisting the marriage with the British government? The mistress just entered the door of Cui's house, and she happened to give Miss a gift, so she agreed to help you retire. this marriage."

"The son of Wang's third family is in his late teens. He is quite talented and famous. He is officially appointed as the head of Duzhisi. He is a rising star of the Wang family's generation and is highly valued by the clan."

"If the young lady marries the son of the Wang family, and the two big families get married, from now on, whether it is officialdom or merchants, they can watch and help each other, and the icing on the cake will add another good story?"

Cui Jie was so angry that she burst into tears and trembled all over, but her good upbringing made her not know how to scold to relieve her anger, so she pointed to the outside of the yard and said angrily: "You... Get out! Get out!"

Qiao'er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised her chest and said loudly: "Auntie is going to marry my father, you are not allowed to take her away!"

The middle-aged men and women were still superficially respectful to Cui Jie, but they didn't look good towards Qiao'er. The firecracker thrown by Qiao'er just now almost scared them to death, and now they couldn't help being angry.

"Son of a concubine, how can you allow me to be arrogant! Today, I will teach you on behalf of your father!" After speaking, the middle-aged man rushed forward to grab Qiao'er.

Li Qinzai outside the courtyard showed murderous intent, and said coldly, "Ah Si, take it down!"

A group of trilogy behind him were already so angry that they rushed into the yard immediately upon hearing this, and Liu Ah Si was the first to strike hard secretly, and the scabbard on the side of his waist slammed against the knee of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man screamed, and immediately fell to the ground, his legs trembling, and he saw that one leg was useless.

The middle-aged woman was held by Buqu's arms, twisted backwards to her back, bowed and screamed in pain, but was slapped hard on the face by Buqu, the woman was immediately honest and dared not speak out.

Li Qinzai walked in slowly from outside the yard.

Cui Jie's pretty face, which was originally extremely angry, suddenly changed, revealing a look of surprise, she covered her mouth with one hand, and tears of grievance could not stop falling.

But Qiao'er shouted in surprise: "Father!"

Then he flew into Li Qinzai's arms, Li Qinzai picked him up and turned around a few times, making Qiao'er giggle.

Looking at Qiao'er in his arms, Li Qinzai weighed his weight, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a bit overwhelming, and Dad can hardly hold you anymore. It seems that Auntie has fed you well recently."

Qiao'er put her arms around his neck and said, "Auntie feeds me meat every day, a lot of meat."

Then Qiao'er whispered in his ear, "But Auntie's cooking skills are not as good as Dad's, and the meat she cooks is not as delicious as Dad's cooking."

Li Qinzai blinked at him, and asked quietly, "You still eat so much if it tastes bad?"

Qiao'er quickly turned to look at Cui Jie, and whispered with a bitter face: "You can't eat, Auntie said, Qiao'er must drink at least one bowl of goat's milk and eat a large bowl of food every meal, otherwise Qiao'er is not allowed to go out Play."

Li Qinzai laughed loudly, and said again: "When Dad is not at home, is Qiao'er good? Did you cause any trouble?"

Qiao'er hurriedly said, "I'm very good. I read and practice calligraphy every day, and I even teach the children in the village how to read. I never get into trouble."

Li Qinzai smiled, heh, if I hadn't seen you throwing firecrackers into the house with my own eyes, I would have almost believed you.

Holding Qiao'er tightly, smelling the milky aroma of Qiao'er's body, he took a deep breath.

It's cool to suck the baby for a while, and it's always cool to suck the baby all the time. The smell on the baby is really good.

Putting Qiao'er down, Li Qinzai looked at Cui Jie and said with a smile, "I'm back."

After speaking, he stretched out his arms.

Reunion after a long absence, of course a warm and strong hug is necessary.

But Cui Jie obviously didn't understand Li Qinzai's actions, and she still stood still, laughing while weeping, and hummed softly: "Are... are you hungry?"

The joy of reunion turned into the plain care of forbearance, which is subtle and beautiful.

Li Qinzai waved his hands and said, "No hurry, let's settle these two things first."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man and woman who were taken down.

After listening for a while outside the courtyard just now, Li Qinzai has roughly heard the outline of the matter.

To put it simply, Cui Jie's father, Li Qinzai's future father-in-law, recently remarried after losing his wife for more than three years.

"Continuing Xian" does not mean taking a concubine, but hiring a wife, who is the mistress of the house.

So Cui Jie somehow got an extra stepmother.

This stepmother has a lot of background. She came from Taiyuan Wang, one of the five surnames and seven clans. She is in the same family as the empress Wang who was abolished by Li Zhigang.

Although the background is not small, but this stepmother just got married and quit doing human affairs, she actually sent evil slaves to Zhuangzi to disturb Li Qinzai and Cui Jie's marriage, and asked her to marry someone else.

The middle-aged man and woman in front of him are vicious slaves sent by their stepmother. Judging from their lack of awe towards Cui Jie, these two are obviously servants brought by their stepmother from their natal Wang family.

Otherwise, the servants of the Cui family in Qingzhou would definitely not dare to be so rude in front of Cui Jie.

Li Qinzai stared at the two people in front of him, and said with a sneer, "You two are so courageous, you dare to come to my Li family's Zhuangzi and poach the corners of my Li family's wall, you are really brave and talented, I have to admire it."

"Is it because my Li family is down and out, or is it that I, Li Qinzai, can't carry a knife?"

The middle-aged man endured the severe pain and hissed: "Dare to ask your Excellency..."

"I, Li Qinzai, the fifth young man of the Li family, your lady's fiancé, send money!"
