Under Liu's panic, the figure got closer and closer to her, and then a strange and excited laugh came from the main house, and the guards outside the house were heard getting hairy and screaming. They shivered and stood opposite each other, both of them could clearly see the sympathy on the other's face.
Liu didn't know how she got here that night, this was the closest she felt she was to death, and the pain in her body was so dense that she couldn't pass out.
The pain on her forehead was so painful that she was breaking out in cold sweat. Liu couldn't even cry out in pain. With something stuffed in her mouth, she could only make a faint whimper, and next to her ear was the snoring sound of a man sleeping soundly. .
It was already dawn, and at this time, the red hijab covered Liu's head did not know when it fell off. Her face was as pale as paper, without blood, her face was distorted in pain, and her temples were scattered with sweat. Apply to the sides of the cheeks.
The eyelids drooped, and the eyes were white and chaotic. Anyone seemed to know that she couldn't hold on for too long.
The most shocking thing was her original blue clothes, which were now heavily stained with blood, and it could be seen that the clothes had been stained with flesh, making one's scalp numb.
From time to time there were sobs and sobs coming from Mrs. Liu's mouth, and she twitched from time to time as if she was startled by something.
Until the sun came in from the window, and the door was carefully knocked awake, Liu's whole body trembled, his eyes widened revealing the desire to survive, and he whimpered desperately, hoping that the people outside could hear the sound and save her out .
Liu Shi doesn't want to die yet, she still wants to live a good life, and she still wants to watch her daughter live well, she can't die.
After the people outside knocked a few times, seeing no one responded, they stopped their movements, and immediately returned to silence. Liu's eyes were tearing apart, and regardless of the pain in his body, he struggled violently.
Because she was tied to the bedpost, her movements made the bed vibrate a few times.
The middle-aged man on the bed snored, cursed dissatisfiedly, and opened his eyes in a daze, "Damn it."
At this time, Mrs. Liu was tied to the bedpost of the bed, and Master Wu could only see her sideways, sitting up impatiently, exuding such depression all over her body.
The guard outside the house heard the movement, and knocked on the door cautiously again, and finally got a response.
Immediately the door was opened, and the light shone into the whole room, Liu was ecstatic.
And the head steward came in and was stunned the first moment he saw Liu's face, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
The maids and servants following him also saw Mrs. Liu's miserable appearance at this time, and one of them lacked concentration, and the copper basin in his hand fell unsteadily to the ground, splashing everywhere.
The maid came to her senses and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
The sound of the copper basin colliding with the ground was really ear-piercing, which made Master Wu's headache, which had not had a good rest and was swollen from hangover, even worse at this moment.
The flesh on his face was squeezed together, the person in charge had more or less experience in the world, even if he was shocked by Mrs. Liu and saw that the master's family was unhappy, he still hurried to the bed with the hangover soup in his hand.
"Master, hurry up and drink some hangover soup, this old slave will press it for you." The steward handed the hangover soup to Master Wu, and after he drank it down, he dutifully pressed it on his head.
This is the skill that the steward specially went to the medical center to learn in order to please the master.
Sure enough, after pressing it for a while, Master Wu's complexion gradually improved, and he became much more energetic.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyesight had recovered, and only then did he notice Mrs. Liu who had been making movements at the end of the bed.
When he saw that face, Master Wu himself was startled, blurted out, and waved away the hand that was pressing on him by the steward, "What is this?!"
The steward quickly knelt down, with a panicked expression, and told what happened last night, "This is what Mrs. Wu found, and this old slave doesn't know how it happened."
Master Wu got out of bed, and walked in front of Mrs. Liu with a gloomy expression. As he approached, Mrs. Liu thought about what happened last night, a sense of suffocation came to her heart, and the next second she felt hot all over her body. The smell of urine filled the whole house.
Now Master Wu's expression became even uglier. He took several steps back, for fear of being stained by something dirty.
Before he could tell Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu begged for help from outside the house, and Mr. Wu let people in with a dark face.
Mrs. Wu brought the maid from last night into the house tremblingly, knelt down immediately after walking a few steps, and kowtowed three times, "This old slave deserves to die, please forgive me."
Master Wu didn't want to listen to her nonsense, "What's going on?!"
Mrs. Wu was flustered, but after a night of fermenting, she had already stopped her words and said everything one by one.
According to Mrs. Wu's words, it was Liu who deliberately lied to her. He wanted money, but he didn't want his stepdaughter to die. He couldn't benefit her in the future, so he dared to play tricks under her nose.
That's right, from Mrs. Wu's point of view, it was Mrs. Liu's plan. After all, Mrs. Wu saw Mrs. Liu's stability and voluntarily sat in the sedan chair, and no one forced her.
Apart from playing tricks, Mrs. Wu couldn't think of any other reasons.
After hearing this, Mr. Wu was very angry and laughed back. He bought such a thing for fifty taels of silver. He really thought he had a good temper and couldn't be fooled.
"Send her back to me, and I will return all the money to the master."
Following this order, the frightened servants in the room were all relieved, as long as the fire didn't implicate themselves.
Mrs. Liu was both surprised and flustered, it shouldn't be like this, shouldn't she be sent back and then Li Qinghe sent here.
At this moment, she still remembers the money in her heart. If she returns all the money, she will work in vain and suffer such a big punishment.
Mrs. Liu didn't care about her current situation, and tried her best to wink at Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu would be glad that she escaped, so how could she still care about her.
In this way, Mrs. Liu was directly carried and thrown into the ox cart. It was the cart used to transport vegetables in the house, and it was simply a wooden plank tied to the ox.
Mrs. Wu walked in front, followed by two strong men, all the way to Luoxia Village aggressively.
At this time in the Li family in Luoxia Village, Li Laosan didn't sleep well all night, thinking about what Liu Shi meant.
For a while, he thought about leaving it alone, and for a while, he was so depressed that he wished he could rush to Zhou's house in the middle of the night and ask Zhou's daughter-in-law what was going on.
But in the end he held back, for a man, it is the most unbearable thing for a man to have his wife run away, and he is the only one who is laughed at when he makes trouble.
Although Li Laosan is usually taciturn, he thinks the same as everyone else in this regard.
So for most of the morning, Li Qinghe saw her scumbag father wandering back and forth in front of Zhou's house, frowning, and didn't know what he wanted to do.
Until with bursts of exclamations, surrounded by a group of people, Mrs. Wu dragged the half-dead Mrs. Liu to the door of Li's house.
With such a big commotion, people around came out to watch the excitement, and even the people from the Li family's old house heard it.
Everyone couldn't react when they saw Mrs. Liu like this, and Mrs. Liu, who was lying on his back on the bullock cart, was bumped along the way, and blood dripped out of the densely packed holes on his body that had been pierced by spikes again.
But she couldn't care about these things, she just felt that the gazes cast on her by those villagers almost wanted to shoot her empty.
Li Laosan was shocked. He never expected that Mrs. Liu would be sent back again in such a situation, and all his anger was blown away.
Of course, Mrs. Wu still remembered Li Laosan's appearance, and when she saw him, she waved for the ox cart to stop.
"This...this is..." Li Laosan didn't know how to ask.
Mrs. Wu didn't like him at first, and because she was tricked a lot, she felt angry in her heart, so of course she wouldn't be polite now.
"You guys are really good. You took my lord's money, signed the deed of sale, and agreed to send the girl in. When the time came, you actually gave away such an old woman. Do you think I, an old woman, can be fooled?"
As soon as the words were finished, Li Laosan felt the villagers looked at him in disbelief, his face was blushing, and he wanted to explain, but his mouth was clumsy.
Mrs. Wu continued, "My old lady has never concealed my lord's hobby. Since she took fifty taels of money to buy her life, she should be willing to sell her. Otherwise, do you think this money is so easy to earn?"
This is what Mrs. Wu deliberately said to the villagers. If Liu Shi dares to play with her, she will not make Liu Shi feel better.
"I didn't..." Li Laosan hurriedly waved his hands.
Mrs. Wu didn't listen, and interrupted him directly, "My master is magnanimous, I sent the man back to you, and returned the money to me, and the two are settled."
Li Laosan was stunned, money, where did he have money, it was already used to buy fields, how can he get it now.
Mrs. Wu saw that something was wrong with him, frowned, and looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you're going to renege on the debt, you should have thought through the consequences, our Wu family's money is not so easy to get."
Li Laosan was stared at by everyone and pointed at him. He panicked and smoked from his throat. He swallowed his saliva and couldn't utter a word.
In a panic, Li Laosan saw Li Qinghe who was standing aside, looking at him with indifferent eyes. A thought flashed in his mind, and he said it directly.
"My daughter, take her away." When the words came out, Li Laosan himself was shocked.
Mrs. Wu froze for a moment, understood what he meant, and sneered, looking down on this man even more.
Just thinking about it, she didn't directly refuse, but suddenly pointed to Liu who was lying on the bullock cart, "You also saw her appearance, and you want me to take your daughter away?"
Of course, Li Laosan saw Liu's miserable appearance, his blood-stained clothes, hesitated in his heart, and didn't know what he was thinking, and finally nodded under the astonished eyes of the big guy.
There was a burst of uproar in the crowd. It was unexpected that Li Laosan looked silent, but he turned out to be such a cruel person.
In fact, Li Laosan's thinking is simple. He thinks that Mrs. Liu is like this because she was found out that she is not Qinghe, so he did it ruthlessly. .
No matter what, Li Laosan was convinced by his own thoughts, and nodded again, firmer than last time, "Looking into the mansion, my mother-in-law can take care of my daughter."
In the past, Mrs. Liu rubbed Li Qinghe, but Mrs. Li didn't care at most, and nothing was torn apart. Now, people can see Mrs. Li's face more clearly. Compared with Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li is more lethal. People are cold.
Before Mrs. Wu could give him a response, an old lady stepped out from the crowd, it was Tang Lihua.
She looked at Li Laosan coldly, and said two words, "Wait."
