After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Li Tongfu had been busy with the young master's affairs these days and was unaware of the chaos in the Changning Marquis' Mansion. Therefore, he still had a very good impression of his old classmate!

"How is he?"

"It is rumored that the Marquis of Changning Mansion has repeatedly harmed their daughter-in-law in order to get her dowry. The latest time, someone pushed the young mistress down from the second floor. She broke her arm and was covered in wounds. She went to her own dowry farm to recuperate!"

Li Tongfu didn't believe it. There was no such thing as killing the chicken to get the eggs in this world:

"You said it was just a rumor, how can I take it seriously? Unless Xie Xuanping hates his wife! Even if that's the case, why not keep him in the mansion?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It is said that this young lady is beautiful, virtuous and well-mannered. She started to take care of the household chores as soon as she entered the mansion and became the mistress of the house. She used her own dowry to fill a lot of holes."

"Just ask, which woman is not selfish and holds her dowry tightly? Xie Xuanping, who met such a good man, can still treat his wife so cruelly!"

Li Tongfu was surprised:

"Is my classmate a fool?"

"It is rumored that when the Marquis of Changning's Mansion fell into decline, Xie Xuanping deceived the daughter of the Marquis of Xin'an's Mansion and won her heart. He repeatedly came to the house to propose marriage. Rumors spread all over the capital, and Miss Su's reputation was completely ruined. In the end, Marquis Su had no choice but to agree to the marriage!"

Li Tongfu frowned: "Then my classmate is quite scheming, snort..."

Hearing the adults sneer, Li Yi continued:

"Marquis Xin'an Su has only one legitimate daughter, and his wife's family is a prominent family in Jiangnan with a deep foundation. It is said that when Marquis Su's wife got married, the dowry she brought was enough to fill a ten-mile long street. It's no wonder that Xie Xuanping would have such evil thoughts!"

Li Tongfu was silent:

"In that case, after going through so many hardships and finally winning the beauty, he should hold her in his hands and protect her carefully. Why would he have the intention to kill her... Could it be that... he already had someone in his heart before this and intended to let his beloved take the position?"

“Isn’t he afraid that he will lose his life and won’t be able to explain to the Yue family?”

Suddenly he thought of something and said:

"Haha... yes, it is rumored that he hurriedly left for work on the day of his wedding, and didn't even wait for the wedding night. Madam Xie returned home alone three days later, and has not been in contact with her parents since then..."

"Forget it. It's someone else's business anyway. Why should we worry about it? I don't know why he came here this time."

Li Yi snorted disdainfully:

"What else could it be? Perhaps I have no one to turn to, so I came to ask you, sir, for help!"

Li Tongfu suddenly realized that his colleagues had mentioned a few days ago that the second son of Marquis Xie and the young master of the Wang family were jealous of each other in Piaoxiang Tower and pushed someone down the stairs and broke his leg. There was a quarrel going on!

I wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a moment, I said:

"Please let someone in!"

Xie Xuanping waited outside the gate of Li's mansion for more than half an hour, and his heart was getting colder and colder.

I thought I would get nothing today, but then I heard the heavy door creak open slowly, and a servant came out and said:

"Sir, please follow me!"

Xie Xuanping was surprised, and hurriedly asked Hu Sui to help him tidy up his clothes before he followed him into the gate!

The master and the servant followed the boy through a corridor, and then a thin man met them at the door and said:

"Come with me!"

The servant had gone back to the outer gate, so the two followed the thin man and walked a distance inside. When they arrived at a residence with glazed windows, the man bowed and said:

"Sir, the guests are here!"

Then the door creaked open, and out came a young man of about twenty-two or twenty-three with a square face and a righteous expression. He had sparkling eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His body was as straight as a sword, and he had an official smile on his face.

"Thank you, brother. Long time no see. Please come in!"

Xie Xuanping was overwhelmed by Li Tongfu's aura, and his already uneasy heart became even more uncertain. He bowed and responded:

"Sorry for bothering me, Lord Li!"

The two of them entered the room and sat down. The maid served them tea and they recalled some interesting things about their school days. Then they slowly got back to the main topic!

Li Tongfu didn't have time to practice Tai Chi here, so he said:

"Brother Xie, are you here for something today?"

Seeing that the topic had been returned to the subject, Xie Xuanping stopped talking and stood up and bowed deeply:

"I'm sure you've heard about my brother's injury. My father wanted to go to the Wang family to apologize in person, but was repeatedly rejected. Xuanping had no choice but to ask Lord Li to help mediate. I'll reward you handsomely when the matter is resolved!"

Li Tongfu pinched his brows, pondered for a while, and then said:

“Although I am a relative of the Wang family, we seldom visit each other, so how can I ask you to plead for me?

Xie Xuanping hurriedly said:

"I heard that Lord Li is on good terms with the young master of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. This young master of the Wang family is your aunt's cousin. If you can bring them together, it will surely turn a big thing into a small one and a small thing into nothing!"

"It seems that Brother Xie is using me as a matchmaking tool... How about this, you wait for a few days. The young master is out on business these days. I will talk to you when he comes back!"

When Xie Xuanping heard that there was a way, he stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, saying that he would go back and prepare a great gift for the young master. He also asked Hu Sui to present a green-ground, pink-colored, chrysanthemum-shaped jade box, saying:

"I heard that you love tea, so Xuanping found some for you to taste!"

Li Tongfu nodded and picked up the teacup!

Seeing this, Xie Xuanping hurriedly took his leave!

After the people left, Li Yi opened the box. A scent of tea wafted out, and he smiled and said:

"Sir, it seems that this Xie is very good at scheming. This looks like good tea!"

Li Tongfu stood up and walked aside, saying, "The tea is good, it's first-class cloud tea. It seems he has some skills!"

Then Li Yi chuckled a few more times and said:

"He's just a coward. I heard that one of the dowry shops owned by his wife is a tea shop. This guy is really thick-skinned!"

Yurui Villa

Su Qingling had received news that Mr. Xie went to the tea shop and took away the only three pounds of Yunwu Tea left in the shop. He also said that he would settle the account with his boss when the time came. The shopkeeper refused and wrote an IOU!

Xia He was extremely angry, her eyes were full of anger, she put her hands on her hips and cursed:

"How shameless! What son-in-law would be so shameless as to go to his wife's dowry shop and take things for free, write an IOU, and say so many high-sounding words, and he doesn't feel ashamed to spoil the fun!"

Madam Zhou shook her head. Although she was also angry, she couldn't stand Xia He's unruly behavior when things happened. She smiled and twisted her ear and said:

"You bastard, you are becoming more and more capable. You have been kept in the manor for a few days and have really learned all these rogue skills. If others see you, they will not only say that you are inappropriate, but will also say that the young lady is incompetent!"

After hearing this, Xia He put down her two arms in dismay, her eyes reddened:

"Don't be upset, Madam. I am just too angry. The Changning Marquis's Mansion has lost its sense of propriety this time... Even the son-in-law has lost his dignity. How is this different from robbery? I am worried about our young lady!"

Nanny Zhou let out a long sigh. She had originally thought that if the son-in-law could make amends, the young lady might not be able to live with him!

Now, looking at the behavior of the uncle, it is really...

The others were also very depressed and stopped talking. Suddenly, they heard a sneer:

"Since he has taken this step, he is determined to break off relations with me. If so, let's wait and see!"
