News about Li Jinglan's father, Li Chengyue, came slowly.

It was not until people from the county school congratulated him that Li Chengyue learned that Lu Bozhou had won the first place in the case.

Li Chengyue was furious.

It was such a big happy event, but Li Jinglan didn't even send anyone to announce the good news?

After returning home, Li Chengyue asked his family with a stern face: "Did the Lu family come to announce the good news?"

Menzi carefully looked at Li Chengyue's expression and said, "It has been reported to the mistress's courtyard."

Have you reported it?

Li Chengyue suppressed his anger and talked about Lu Bozhou's article:

"Go find me a copy of the essay for the third round of Lu Bozhou's test."

Then he strode to the main courtyard and questioned Li Wu: "Why didn't you tell me when Lu Bozhou came home to announce the good news of his success in the case?"

Li Wu was feeling troubled, and retorted: "Ji Fang was banned from taking the exam for ten years, but Lu Bozhou got first place."

"Do you want me to celebrate outside with drums and gongs?"

"Feng Xian is my daughter, but Li Jinglan is not. I am too lazy to act like a good wife and mother! She is my own daughter, so I should love her myself."

As she was talking, Li Wu got angry and stood up: "I just don't like Li Jinglan, so what? Both mother and daughter are bad people, one can only seduce people, and the other..."

boom!

Li Chengyue swept the tea set off the round table, his face livid: "Wu, can you say one more word?"

Li Wu was furious and put her hands on her waist: "She can do it, why can't I say anything..."

Li Chengyue kicked over the stool and said, "If you say one more word, don't blame me for not considering our children's feelings and writing you a letter of divorce."

Done.

Li Chengyue didn't even look at Li Wu's expression and walked away.

Li Wu was stunned at first, then she picked up the stool that Li Chengyue had just kicked over and threw it to the ground: "I'll divorce you if I want to. Am I still afraid of you?"

"Write your divorce letter now! If you don't, you're a bitch."

All the servants in the room were silent.

Li Chengyue was filled with rage and walked very quickly in the yard. Somehow he arrived at Aunt Zhao's gate.

A magpie's voice came from the yard: "The weather is getting warmer."

Aunt Zhao hummed, "The sun is really warm today."

This peaceful atmosphere is in stark contrast to the violent atmosphere in the main courtyard.

Li Chengyue became even angrier.

He rushed in.

At first glance, I saw Aunt Zhao sitting in a rocking chair at the foot of the stairs.

The maid Xi Que sat on a small stool nearby.

The master and servant chatted while basking in the sun.

Li Chengyue walked forward and overturned Aunt Zhao's embroidery stand.

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then knelt down hurriedly: "Greetings, Master."

Li Chengyue pointed at Aunt Zhao and wanted to say something for a long time, but in the end he just shook his sleeves.

"Tell Li Jinglan! Tell her not to provoke me." Li Chengyue said.

Aunt Zhao still knelt on the ground without getting up, and lowered her head: "I am in the courtyard, I don't know what is happening outside the courtyard."

Li Chengyue sneered, "You just copied scriptures for a few days, and Li Jinglan came to threaten me. Do you dare to say that you don't know what's going on outside the courtyard?"

"It's not what I said." Aunt Zhao still lowered her head.

"That's what the magpie spread? Do you want me to beat the magpie to death with a stick?" Li Chengyue's expression was cold.

When she heard that she was going to be beaten to death, Xi Que was so scared that she trembled all over.

Aunt Zhao bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to die for Xi Que."

"You want to die?" Li Chengyue laughed. "I don't know how Li Jinglan will make trouble. She can even win over the county magistrate's wife now. How dare I punish you?"

After laughing a few times, Li Chengyue suddenly felt bored.

He looked down at Aunt Zhao and said, "There is no peace in this family."

Aunt Zhao raised her head and stared at Li Chengyue: "This servant can die suddenly."

"You..." Li Chengyue frowned and shook his sleeves vigorously.

"Forget it!" Li Chengyue took a half step back.

"Don't go to the main courtyard. Wu will be upset when she sees you."

"Yes!" Aunt Zhao replied softly.

Li Chengyue walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

Walk out slowly.

Xi Que hurriedly helped Aunt Zhao up.

After Aunt Zhao got up, the first thing she did was to pick up the embroidery shed.

"It's covered in dirt." She gently patted the dirt on the embroidery tent.

"..." Xi Que looked at Aunt Zhao, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

I lowered my head and tears fell one by one.

Li Chengyue went to the front yard, and the doorman had already put the third essay of Lu Bozhou's palace examination on the desk.

Li Chengyue is also a scholar and has some appreciation ability.

Just looking at this article, Lu Bozhou deserves the first place in the case.

"How could you write such a good article after not reading for four years?" Li Chengyue put down the article and rubbed his forehead slowly.

He knows his own situation and he is not likely to pass the imperial examination.

After taking part in several provincial examinations and failing each time, he gave up the idea.

If Lu Bozhou could get the third place in the college examination, he would have a great chance of passing the imperial examination.

My son-in-law is a juren.

For him, it is also a glory.

only……

His relationship with Li Jinglan is really bad.

You absolutely cannot curry favor with Li Jinglan.

Just as she was thinking about her troubles, Li Wu's younger brother Wu Hua rushed in.

"Brother-in-law, please think of a way. The genius has been banned from taking the exam for ten years." Wu Hua cried as soon as he entered the study, looking exactly like Li Wu.

Li Chengyue's forehead veins throbbed when he heard this.

"I told you long ago that the Five Boys must find someone who knows us well."

Wu Hua felt even more aggrieved: "I asked Fangfei to go find Fengxian, but Fengxian wouldn't let her in, so I asked her to go find Jinglan, and Jinglan asked her to find a few old students..."

"Brother-in-law, can you blame me for this? Both of your daughters refused to help me."

Headache!

Li Chengyue rubbed his forehead and said, "I am just a scholar. I can't help a genius."

"You and the Xia family are relatives by marriage, so why not talk to them? I heard that Xia Jifang's mother is looking for the scholar who framed Jifang. Let her help us clear our name."

Seeing that Li Chengyue didn't say anything, Wu Hua continued: "Helping one is helping, helping two is also helping."

Li Chengyue thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't open my mouth."

"If you can't open your mouth, let my sister speak." Wu Hua begged, "Brother-in-law, I only have one son, Qicai. He has been banned from taking the exam for ten years. There is no chance for our family to turn things around."

His wife's brother kept begging, and Li Chengyue finally felt sympathy for him, "Then let your sister go and talk to him."

"Okay!" Wu Hua was overjoyed to get Li Chengyue's approval, "I'll go find my sister now."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Looking at the back of his wife's brother, Li Chengyue shook his head.

He looked down at Lu Bozhou's article.

But somehow, I couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Take a book and cover the article.

Close your eyes and meditate.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Li Wu couldn't sit still for a moment after listening to her brother's crying.

"The wizard being banned from taking the exam is a big deal. I will go to the Xia family immediately."

Hitch a bullock cart.

Mrs. Li Wu went to the Xia family.

She thought that based on Li Fengxian's mother's identity, the doorman would let her into the house without notifying her.

result……

"Our mistress has gone out of town. Before she left, she said that we were not allowed to open the door to welcome guests."

Mrs. Li Wu was angry: "I am your great grandmother's biological mother."

The doorman lowered his head and said, "How about I ask the butler to come out and talk to you?"

Li Fengxian heard the news that Menzi had refused to let her mother in in the inner courtyard.

She suddenly thought of her experiences in her previous life.

She cried in the inner courtyard until her cheeks were wet with tears.

"Is this some kind of den of wolves and tigers in a deep mansion? Even my own mother is not allowed to see me? Is the Xia family imprisoning me?"

He ran to the gate and threatened to die.

The housekeeper and the doorman were so frightened that they dared not to stop them and could only let Li Wu in.

When Li Fengxian saw her mother, the first thing she said was, "Mom, Xia Jifang has taken Meixiang in."

Mrs. Li Wu was shocked. "I have the deeds of Meixiang's entire family in my hands. How dare she do that?"

Xia Jifang, who was in the study, heard Li Wu coming in and his eyes rolled.

Got an idea.

He has been feeling suffocated at home these days.

Meixiang was like a wooden man, not moving at all.

It's so boring to persuade him to study all day long.

He ran to the door and tried to trick the driver of the Li family:

"My mother-in-law said she forgot to take something and asked me to go to Li's house to get it for her."

The driver did not suspect anything and asked Xia Jifang to sit on the ox cart and took Xia Jifang out.

When the Xia family's doorman saw that it was the Li family's mistress's ox cart leaving the house, he didn't dare to lift the curtain to check.

Out of the Xia family’s gate.

Xia Jifang took a deep breath of the free air: "It's beautiful!"

This free air.

What a fragrance!

He stomped the bottom of the car and said, "Let's go to Ruyi Tower."

"Ah?" Li's driver was stunned.

"Go to Ruyi Tower!" Xia Jifang was anxious.

Sisters!

Jifang is here.
