The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Li Axi and Wu Yuqi were locked up in the back room.

There was no special guard, and the door was not even locked.

But none of them ran away.

In the past three days, under Hou Qigui's order, no one in Li's house was allowed to go to the back room. Except for Wu Ma, who was responsible for delivering food to them, no one had contact with them. Even the security guards and cleaners did not come near the room where they were.

There were originally twenty houses in the back. After Hou Qigui bought the courtyard next door, he expanded and renovated the two courtyards. In fact, the current back building can no longer be called a house, but should be called a back building. The layout of the rooms is based on Prince Gong's Mansion. Although it is not as large as "ninety-nine and a half rooms", it is still divided into fifty rooms.

Among the fifty rooms, nineteen in the West are used. Each room has a name and function. Only one is empty and is never used.

Hou Qigui said that this is called "the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nineteen", which is something in the "Book of Changes".

Fifty means perfection, so only West Nineteen is used, which means leaving room for everything and not being too full. It also represents Li Zhai's family style.

The remaining room had never been used or even cleaned.

It's just strange that even though it hasn't been cleaned for several years, it's actually clean and spotless inside.

Li Axi and Wu Yuqi were locked in this "useless" room.

No one knows Hou Qigui's intention. Are they two abandoned by the Li family? Or should we leave a leeway and let them live?

The room was about the same size as the room where Wu Jinshan was imprisoned, but because there was nothing in it, there were no beds, tables, chairs or benches, and you could only sit on the floor, so it seemed very large and empty.

Wu Yuqi sat in the corner, and Li Asxi sat in the opposite corner. They didn't seem to be two people, but just two new decorations in the room.

"Brother Axi, you don't have to do this. If you die for me, I won't live." Wu Yuqi said.

Li Axi was silent.

"Brother Axi, I'm so touched, really! You can stand up and speak for me, I feel that my life has been worth it! They all say that I am your follower, how I want to be your follower for the rest of my life! However, everyone has his or her own destiny, and destiny is destined and irresistible..."

"No, fate is not destined!" Li Asi suddenly interrupted her, his eyes full of determination, "Master Li said, our fate is our own, no one can dominate us, not even God!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Yuqi's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

She lowered her head and said, "Maybe you all can, but I can't."

"Are you really from the Jinzhou Wu family?" Li Asi asked.

"Yes." Wu Yuqi nodded lightly, "I am from Jinzhou. When I was a child, I thought my father was an ordinary miner and my mother also worked in the mine. Although the family conditions were average, we lived a very happy life. First arrival One day, the coal mine collapsed and my father was buried underground and never came out..."

There was no sadness on Wu Yuqi's face, but he was calmer than before. However, in Li Axi's view, this calmness was very abnormal.

"I will always remember the way my mother knelt in front of the collapsed mine, digging hard with both hands. The ground was full of coal, black, like the blood in hell. My mother's hands turned black, and her face and body became black. It was so weird that when she fell to the ground, she was like slag piled there. "

"Later I was taken into the Wu family - the legendary family that Jinzhou people are proud of. I found out that my mother's surname was Wu and she was the daughter of the Wu family. But she fell in love with my father, so she gave up on her own initiative. I gave up all the rights and interests of my family and chose to be an ordinary person.”

"My father died, and my mother sent me back to the Wu family to accompany my father. The beginning of my life in the Wu family was not easy. I felt that they didn't like me. My grandfather was very strict with me, and my uncle and aunt were very strict. Heap, I can’t even scream, but I never see a sincere smile on their face. They only make fun of me and treat me as a joke and a source of conversation.”

"I ran away several times, but I had nowhere to go. I could only go back to the mining area and cry in front of the collapsed mine where my father was buried. After crying, I returned to the Wu family. They laughed at me even more, He said I didn’t even have the guts to run away from home and was just a parasite.”

"One day, my aunt, the current head of the family, Wu Hongli, found me. I don't know why I called her aunt instead of aunt. She told me that my mother could have been the mistress of the Wu family, just like She was the same. I asked her where her mother was. She said that if I want to see my mother, I must become a real Wu family member and let everyone in the Wu family recognize me. Then I can not only see my mother, but also set up an epitaph for my father. It is also my mother’s last wish to welcome my father’s remains into the Wu family cemetery and bury them together.”

"I asked her, what should I do to become a real Wu family? She said that the biggest enemy of the Wu family is the Li family in the capital. If I can play an important role in the struggle between the Wu and Li families, I can win the favor of my family. Approved. So, I became Wu Yuchun’s sister..."

"Where is the real Wu Yuqi?" Li Asi asked.

"I don't know." Wu Yuqi shook his head and said, "I don't even know if this person really exists. I just try hard to adapt to such an identity."

"How much information have you sent to the Wu family?"

"No, not even once."

"Not once?"

"Yes, not even once. After I came to the Li family, they seemed to have forgotten about me. Except for being a little nervous at the beginning, I have completely adapted to it in the past few years. Sometimes, I also feel in a trance, thinking that the past is... It's not unreal, it's just a dream that Wu Yuqi had. I regard myself as the real Wu Yuqi. I am very happy in Li's house, especially when I am with you..."

……

The three days that Li Axi and Wu Yuqi were locked up in the back room were also extremely difficult for Li Zhai, who had been at peace for a long time.

People don't know how Hou Qigui will deal with these two people. Wu Yuqi can still say that he deserves it, but if Li Asxi died for Wu Yuqi, it would be a bit unfair and arousing sympathy.

Although Li Axi kept a straight face all day long, as if everyone in the world owed him money, everyone in Li Zhai also knew his story. Back then, he fell in love with Wu Yuchun, who turned out to be a spy. In the end, he had to kill his lover, which caused his temperament to change drastically. Today, Wu Yuqi is a spy again.

The Assi in this story sounds like a miserable person.

Everyone wanted to plead for him, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they wanted to find Master Rong. But Master Rong has disappeared these days, and he was sent on some errand.

Someone asked Boss Wang. When Boss Wang heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Don't look for me! Don't look for me! My words don't work!"

Finally, Wu Ma stood up and said, "I'm going to find Madam."

Wu Ma is one of the few people who can enter the wife's room first.

She took advantage of the opportunity to send snacks and said to Lin Manqing: "Madam, A Xi is a loyal person, and Xiao Wu is not bad in nature. If Madam can let them go, they will be blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattva. Li's house will be safe and prosperous for a long time!"

Lin Manqing ate snacks and said with a smile: "Mother Wu, you are so kind-hearted, it is you who should be protected by the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Don't worry, I won't kill them, but don't go out and say this, Mr. Hou said That’s right, rules still have to be established.”

Wu Ma wasn't sure what Lin Manqing was thinking, but she felt relieved after receiving the promise not to kill him.

She didn't say anything nonsense after she came out. When someone asked her, she just said: "Just watch, Bodhisattva bless me, Madam will take care of it."

Three days later, Hou Qigui gathered everyone together, and Master Rong, who had gone somewhere, also came back.

In front of everyone, Hou Qigui read out the drafted family rules and regulations, posted them on the wall, and said that they would be publicized for seven days. If you have any objections, you can raise them within seven days. If there are no objections, they will be implemented accordingly.

Then he asked Li Asi: "Asi, three days have passed. Now I ask you again, are you still willing to die for this woman?"

Li Axi stood at the end of his pen and said firmly: "I do!"
