Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

"Mother, what did you say?" Li Qiulian rushed to Madam Li in shock and reached out to grab Madam Li's arm: "From this account book, you took away so many gold and silver hairpins, as well as some famous paintings and antiques. Do you dare to say that you took them all back to pay off your gambling debts?"

"No, it's not the gambling debt here. I also found a marriage for your brother. I will transport those things back to Jiangping County and plan to return to Yan State during this period of time."

"You're crazy!" Li Qiulian's voice was almost a roar.

Madam Li was so scared that she could not refute. She sat on the ground and cried, "Your brother owed a huge debt in Jiangping County. Our family has sold a lot of belongings and still can't pay it back. I saw that you took so many good things from the Chen family, and they were also happy to give gifts to please the He family. That's why I took a little more. If I don't add to the debt, your father will die in the hands of the people in the casino. What do you think I should do?"

"Your cousin is the eldest sister-in-law of the Empress. I heard that the Empress likes your cousin very much. Why don't you go back to the Xie family and beg your cousin to say a few good words to the Empress, so that the Empress can talk to the Emperor and ask him to show mercy to our Li family and plead for mercy."

Li Qiulian's hands were shaking more and more violently.

Because she knew that she could make up for the debt she had taken, but she could not make up for the debt owed to Li's family. Her brother Li Qingyue owed a huge debt in Jiangping County and almost gambled away all of their Li family's belongings.

Now, with just one word from the emperor, none of them can escape.

She didn't know that doing so would offend the emperor. What was even more hateful was that those noble families actually kept a grudge against her and came back to bite her.

She fell back onto the chair with a thump and said, "It's over, it's all over."

Madam Li crawled in front of Li Qiulian, put her hands on her knees, and said, "Go find your cousin. She will definitely show some mercy to our family because you are her sister."

Li Qiulian lowered her eyes and glanced at Madam Li: "Mom, you are too naive."

Ever since Xie Ci and the Queen stepped forward to support her cousin, Li Qiulian saw clearly that some things were instigated by the Queen and Chen Qingtang, and it would be difficult for her to cause such a situation today.

However, she had to go to the Xie family again to see Chen Qingtang's attitude.

After all, her cousin's attitude is the same as that of the Queen.

If they find something wrong, the Li family can make plans early. At worst, they can escape to the Great Zhou and never return to Yan or Chen.

But before Li Qiulian could even leave the yard, she was stopped by the guards from the Supervisory Office and was not allowed to go anywhere.

He Yuanzhou has already gone to take inventory in the warehouse.

Not only did he have to take out the money in his own house, he also had to take out Li Qiulian's dowry.

However, this is far from enough.

Because the portion that Mrs. Li and Li Qingyue took was too large.

He Yuanzhou looked very unhappy. At this time, Chunsheng walked into the warehouse and said, "Sir, the lady wants to leave the house."

He Yuanzhou said with a sullen face: "Don't let her leave the yard. Keep a close eye on her."

"Madam said that she would go back to the Xie Mansion to find money to fill the gap."

After Chunsheng finished speaking, He Yuanzhou subconsciously turned around and looked at Chunsheng: "Where did she say she was going to find the silver?"

"She wants to go back to the Xie Mansion."

He Yuanzhou suddenly fell silent.

He lowered his head and stared at the account in his hand, clenching his hands tightly: "Follow her in person and ask her to go back to Xie Mansion."

"Yes."

Just as Chunsheng was about to leave the warehouse, He Yuanzhou stopped him again: "Wait."

"My Lord, what else?"

"Let her take a letter." He Yuanzhou hurried back to the study and wrote a letter to Chen Qingtang.

When Li Qiulian appeared in front of Chen Qingtang with the letter, she had already burst into tears and knelt in front of Chen Qingtang: "Cousin, you must save me."

Chen Qingtang sat at the dining table, drinking bird's nest calmly.

Listening to Li Qiulian, she said, "The noble families plotted against me. They knew I was Madam He, and they sent gifts to the mansion desperately. This was my first time managing the He mansion, and I didn't know the etiquette, so I put all those gifts into the storeroom. Now I know that they want to harm me. If things go wrong, they might arrest the entire Li family for bribery, and then all nine clans will be punished. My mother, brother, and I will all be dragged to the guillotine."

"Cousin, I can see that the Queen is good to you. Please help me go to the palace and explain the truth to the Queen. Tell her not to let those vicious families hide the truth." Li Qiulian said tearfully.

Chen Qingtang frowned, looking disgusted: "But why is what I heard different from what you said?"

Madam Yao straightened her back and walked forward and said, "Don't lie to my wife who is staying in the mansion and knows nothing. It's not that the noble families came to give gifts, but you, my cousin, relied on the prestige of Mr. He to plunder the shops of the noble families everywhere, and even plundered the shops under the name of the queen."

Li Qiulian exclaimed, denying that she had looted Xie Jinyun's shop: "I, when did I loot the Queen's shop?"

"The Lan family surrendered to the State of Yan a month ago and used most of their assets to fill the national treasury. The Emperor, out of sympathy for the Empress, transferred more than a dozen shops owned by the Lan family in the imperial capital to the Empress. The Lan family shops that you have been to now belong to the Empress." Nanny Yao said coldly.

Li Qiulian's body softened and she knelt on the ground. She was badly hit.

Seeing this, Chen Qingtang said coldly: "You have evil intentions, but you blame others for letting you go astray. You still have the nerve to beg me and ask me to go to the palace to plead with the Queen to let you go?"

Chen Qingtang just thought it was funny: "Isn't this a joke?"

After hearing what Chen Qingtang said, Li Qiulian cried, "Then I'm done for. He Yuanzhou knows that I plotted against her and doesn't intend to take care of our Li family's affairs at all."

The highlight is here.

This was also the reason why Chen Qingtang saw her for the last time today: "You are now his legally married wife. Everyone in the imperial capital knows how much He Yuanzhou loves you. Now that something like this has happened, how can it become your Li family's business?"

Li Qiulian is also a smart person.

After hearing what Chen Qingtang said, she shuddered: "Cousin, are you saying that He Yuanzhou is also involved in this matter?"

"As soon as the truth came out, he must have thought of a countermeasure." Chen Qingtang narrowed his eyes slightly. "The emperor trusts Lord He the most. In addition, Lord He has been in Xuanming Palace for the past half month. He can just say that he didn't know anything about it, and then push you and the Li family out. He will then confiscate the Li family and then announce to the public that you cheated in marriage, ate and drank, and won the sympathy of the world. In the end, He Yuanzhou will be unscathed, and your entire Li family will be exterminated."

"He dares to do this to me!" There was only resentment left in Li Qiulian's eyes.

Li Qiulian had always been resentful of He Yuanzhou for treating her as Chen Qingtang's substitute. After hearing Chen Qingtang's analysis, Li Qiulian was filled with resentment and cheered herself up again. She said, "Even if I have to die, I will drag him with me. He will never get rid of me in his life. He is dreaming."

"You and I are cousins, and I don't want the entire Li family to end up being executed. As long as you make amends for your mistakes, the emperor will spare your life based on your performance." Chen Qingtang said.

Li Qiulian looked up at Chen Qingtang: "How can I make amends?"

"Then you have to think about it carefully. Once you think it through, I can take you to the palace to meet the emperor. But if you go back like this, you may not be able to save your life." Chen Qingtang spoke softly, but Li Qiulian felt a chill. Chen Qingtang stood up and approached Li Qiulian, whispering in her ear, "After all, his last wife was strangled to death by him from behind with a white silk scarf. If he uses the excuse that you committed suicide out of fear of punishment, then it's still very easy to kill you in the same way."

Li Qiulian was terrified by Chen Qingtang's words. She subconsciously covered her neck and screamed, "He, his original wife was killed by him personally?"
