Seeing that Ran Qi was stunned and took several steps back, Li Tian hurriedly stepped forward and opened his mouth to explain clearly to Ran Qi. However, how could Ran Qi give him a chance?

Ran Qi told the maid and servant, "Quickly stop this scoundrel and tear off his human skin mask."

At this time, there were many people around. In fact, the people still respected Li Tian, ​​a general who sacrificed his life for the country. Now someone actually bullied him and came to the general's mansion. Naturally, many people couldn't stand it and followed him. help before.

Li Tian was outnumbered, and soon Li Tian's face was scratched. The clear five-claw marks told everyone that these people were ruthless.

Finally, a maid came to her senses and looked at Li Tian's blood-soaked face and replied, "Madam, this seems to be a real face, not a fake one."

Ranqi suddenly realized and hurriedly shouted "Stop, stop quickly"

Li Tian finally escaped from the siege. He was very dissatisfied with being beaten, and his face looked ferocious with gnashed teeth.

Ranqi stepped forward and took Li Tian's hand. Li Tian wanted to move but couldn't. Ranqi still complained silently in his heart (he must wash his hands ten times when he goes back later).

"General, is this really you, General? Why did you come back just now? You don't know that my mother-in-law suffered a stroke on the spot when she heard the news of your death. I..."

"What did you say? My mother had a stroke? How did you take care of your mother?" Li Tianren didn't miss the old lady when he was away, but now that he's back, he seems particularly filial and eager.

"General, my mother-in-law suffered a stroke after hearing the news that you were killed on the battlefield. I have searched for the name. I believe that one day my mother-in-law will be cured."

"Is this how you take care of my mother? I must have misjudged you." Li Tian seemed eager, but he had no intention of going to see the old lady right away.

Before Ran Qi could explain, some people had already stepped forward to help him and said, "General, I really can't blame my wife for this. In order to treat the old lady, she even spent all her dowry, and even took care of the old lady herself." "

"Yes, General, please don't misunderstand Madam."

After hearing what the people said, Li Tian's face became even darker. Ran Qi's dowry was all spent? So what's the use of Ran Qi?

Zhang Rou next to her had never seen such a battle before. Seeing that Li Tian's face was getting worse now, she stepped forward and pulled Li Tian to comfort him in a soft voice.

But before Zhang Rou could say anything, Ran Qi said, "General, who is this woman?" Those big eyes were full of doubts.

Li Tian was beaten, and he heard that the old lady had suffered a stroke and that Shi Ran had spent all his dowry. Now he had no scruples at all and just wanted to slap Ran Qi hard in the face.

So Li Tian shamelessly held Zhang Rou's hand, "This is Rou'er. I was injured on the battlefield and lost my memory. It was Rou'er who saved me. I already have a close relationship with her, so I brought Rou'er back with me." "

Li Tian wanted to see the sad expression on Ran Qi's face, but unfortunately he was destined to be disappointed.

"Since he is the general's benefactor, he is also the benefactor of our entire general's palace. Now that we have a physical relationship with the general, I am naturally happy. Thank you sister for taking care of the general these days."

Seeing that Ran Qi's expression showed no sadness, Li Tian immediately added, "Rou'er saved my life. I don't want to wrong her. From now on, Rou'er will be an equal wife."

The tone was like a notice, not wanting to leave any room for change.

Ranqi asked without any expression, "Since this sister has joined the general, she must be given a title. I wonder which family this sister comes from?"

One sentence made Li Tian and Zhang Rou almost explode. It was Li Tian who said, "Rou'er was born in a poor family, but she saved my general, took good care of me during this period, and became close to me. I can't let her down." "

"General, are you trying to humiliate me?"

Li Tian frowned, "What do you mean? I thought that women from the Shi family should be gentle and virtuous, but I didn't expect to be so jealous."

Li Tiankai's words were intended to label the daughter of the Shi family as jealous. Ran Qi looked hurt and surprised and said, "The general may not understand the customs. I shouldn't argue with the general. It's just this." I would never dare to bear the name of jealousy."

"Aren't you jealous?"

Ranqi raised his voice, "General, I come from the Shi family. The Shi family is a Qingliu family. My father is the crown prince and tutor, and the eldest brother is a second-rank official, right?"

Li Tian was impatient: "So what if you have a good background? What does this have to do with me marrying an equal wife?"

"If the general wants to marry someone from a well-known family today, I will accept the matter even if I don't want to. But now, I can never agree to this girl Rou'er."

"Do you look down on Rou'er's birth? Do you think you don't even look down on this general?"

Ran Qi chuckled, with tears in her smile, which made people feel a little sad, "It's not that I look down on her background, but if I agree to this today, not only will I be unable to hold my head high in the future, but the entire Shi family will be implicated by me.

Doesn't the general understand? If I let go today, tomorrow all the nobles in Shangjing City will know that I, Shi Ranqi, am on an equal footing with a peasant girl. In their eyes, my status will naturally be downgraded. Which noble lady will associate with me in the future? It will be even more harmful. My daughter's reputation has been implicated. If the general insists on it now, please divorce his wife first."

No matter when, there is always a chain of contempt. Just like in this era, although there are no explicit regulations, marriages are all about officials matching officials, civilians matching civilians, and merchants matching merchants. If a government official marries a A commoner or a merchant girl would be ridiculed for the rest of her life.

Of course, someone like Li Tian, ​​who married a noble girl and wanted to marry a commoner woman as his wife, was a slap in the face of the Shi family. If Ran Qi agreed, the entire Shi family would become a joke in the capital.

This was one of the reasons why the original owner in the previous life refused to agree to Li Tian marrying Zhang Rou as his equal wife. Of course, without this, the original owner would not agree.

Li Tian didn't know there was so much to say in this matter. He just thought Ran Qi was jealous, but he really didn't dare to divorce Ran Qi now because he couldn't afford to offend the Shi family.

He can marry an equal wife and take concubines. That is a matter between him and Ran Qi. If he dares to divorce his wife, it will be a clear offense to the Shi family. He does not dare to do such a thing.

"After all, it's not that you don't like Rou'er, why do you need so many reasons?"

"Let it be what the general says!" Ran Qi didn't quibble, and she believed in fairness. Especially when Li Tian humiliated her, she still endured it. No one would say that she was magnanimous in the future.

After the goal was achieved, Ran Qicai said, "General, it's been a long journey back. Let's go back home to wash up first, and then go see my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law will be very happy to know that you are back."

Li Tian left with a dark face, and Ran Qi could only follow behind. The people began to sympathize with Ran Qi.

Her husband died. Ranqi supported the general's palace by herself and spent all her dowry to save her mother-in-law. Now that her husband is back, he wants to marry an equal wife. With such a status, who can bear it!

But sympathy is sympathy. After all, this is a matter for the General's Palace, and ordinary people cannot talk too much. In addition, this era is always more tolerant towards men, so although they sympathize with Ran Qi's experience, they do not think that Li Tian is too wrong. .
