Chapter 15: The Merchant Widowed After Her Husband Fakes His Death (5)
Soon, the owner of Jinxiufang came out with his waiter and several burly men.
"Where did this shrew come from, barking here?"
The leading shopkeeper looked at them coldly, "This is Jinxiufang, where the nobles come and go! If you disturb them, you will not be able to bear the consequences, so why don't you get out now!"
"Open your dog eyes and look. This is the old lady of our Li Mansion. Jinxiufang is our Li Mansion's shop. You don't even recognize your own owner. You'd better pack up and get out!"
Mother Zhang pointed at Li Liu beside her and angrily scolded the shopkeeper with an arrogant look on her face.
"Nonsence!"
The shopkeeper spat at her, "Where did you come from, you old bitch? How shameless! This Jinxiufang has always been named Gu, never Li! Come on, drive these troublemakers away, so as not to disturb the nobles!"
"However, this shop used to be named Zhou, but it has been married into the Li Mansion with our young lady! So it should be named Li. This is the old lady of our Li Mansion, how dare you! Why don't you kneel down and confess your crime to our old lady!"
Mother Zhang stood with her hands on her hips and continued to confront the shopkeeper without any fear.
"What this old lady said is very interesting! According to the laws of our dynasty, the shops and fertile fields brought as a dowry are all the private property of the woman. When did they become the property of the husband's family?"
A scholar standing by laughed.
"That's right! It looks like the Li family is planning to seize other people's private property!"
Everyone pointed fingers at Li Liu and her servants.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Madam Zhang quickly whispered to Li Liu, "Old Madam, why don't we go and invite the young mistress back. She has always listened to you the most. Let her deal with these traitorous slaves!"
"Ok, I……"
Just as Li Liu was about to say something, a servant from the Li Mansion came running over with an anxious look on his face, "Madam, Madam, my uncle is here to tell me something important!"
"what?"
Li Liu was shocked and didn't care about Jinxiufang anymore. She hurried back with her servants.
As soon as she entered her courtyard, she saw her brother and his family of three crying in the flower hall.
After dismissing the people around her and closing the door, she asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Didn't I arrange for you to stay in the manor outside the city? Why did you come here without any reason? Where's Yi'er?"
"Aunt, my cousin... wuwu..."
Liu Qing'er's face was filled with grief, her eyes were red, and she choked up in the middle of her words and couldn't continue.
"What happened to Yi'er? Why don't you guys say something!"
Li Liu looked at the expressions of the three people and looked anxious.
"Yier was killed by the evil spirit on Peach Blossom Mountain! She said we occupied her territory, so she killed one person first, and if we didn't move away, she would continue to kill!"
Father Liu blurted out everything, "The evil spirit came to the manor last night and took Yi'er to Taohua Mountain. Now only half of his body is left. Because of Yi'er's identity, we don't want to report to the police, nor do we dare..."
"Yier, my Yier..."
Upon hearing the news of her young son's death, Li Liu's eyes rolled back and she fainted!
"elder sister!"
"aunt!"
"Someone come quickly!"
While the Li Mansion was in chaos, Su Li was leisurely listening to the system's muttering in the side room of Pudu Temple.
[Host, you're staying here after killing people? Are you planning to give up? There are a lot of people in Li's mansion waiting for you to deal with them! Can't you just kill or maim them like you did in the last mission? ]
Su Li lazily drank tea and replied softly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Everything is under my control! Just wait and see!"
[So you plan to stay in this broken temple? ]
"Nothing, I guess the servants that the Li Mansion asked me to go back to should be leaving soon!"
She looked at the teacup in her hand and said with a smile.
Li's house.
When Mother Zhang heard the three people from the Liu family calling her, she quickly pushed the door open and helped Li Liu onto the bed.
"Mother Zhang, go call the doctor quickly, and ask the servants to boil some nourishing ginseng and send it over!"
Liu Qing'er ordered quickly.
"Master, Madam, Miss, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that our family is in financial difficulty right now and we can't afford to hire a doctor! Alas!"
"Grandma, grandma, Jiaojiao's jewelry is gone. Please help Jiaojiao!"
Li Jiaojiao's voice was heard outside the door again, followed by the concubines from the first and second houses. They all cried and told about the disappearance of their jewelry and silver.
"What are you arguing about? My aunt is sick. Let's talk about your business later!"
Liu Qing'er changed from her usual gentle demeanor to a strong one in an instant. She said to the people at the door, "If the silver is gone, go search the servants' residences. They must have done something unclean."
"My cousin, there was indeed a thief in the mansion last night. He stole the old lady's personal allowance, the accountant's money, and the young lady's dowry! Now the servants in the mansion are still digging in the ground to find them!"
Mother Zhang sighed softly, "When the Li Mansion was raided, it was all supported by the young lady's dowry. Now her dowry has been stolen, the shopkeepers outside don't recognize us, and the old lady is in a coma. What should we do now!"
"Where's my sister? Where did she go? There's such a big thing going on at home, why didn't she show up? My cousin's funeral is still waiting for money!"
Liu Qing'er asked angrily.
"Cousin, the young lady went to the Pudu Temple in Xishan to worship Buddha yesterday! I don't know what happened at home..."
"Why don't you send someone to call her back? Then go find a doctor first, and I'll give you the money when I get back! Also, I'm pregnant with my cousin, so I can't be without ginseng and bird's nest. I'll buy some on credit and put it on my sister's account."
She gently touched her belly and said to Mother Zhang, "I am pregnant with my cousin's and my child, so nothing can go wrong. Also, as long as the lost dowry has not left the house, it should still be in the mansion. Search all the servants' rooms!"
"Yes. I will arrange it right away!"
Mother Zhang glanced at Liu Qing'er's slightly bulging belly, then glanced at the unconscious Li Liu, and walked out the door.
"Come here, go to the Pudu Temple in the west mountain to find the young lady and bring her back to take charge. Go to the street to ask for a doctor, and then go to the store to buy expensive supplements on credit and put them in the name of the young lady!"
"Yes!"
Liu Qing'er, who was guarding the old lady's room, gently touched her belly, her eyes full of pride.
Now that I have brought my cousin's only child into the Li Mansion, there is no reason for me to leave.
In the near future, everything in the Li family will belong to you!
