Chapter 340 The stunning beauty runs with the ball, and the aloof prince goes crazy chasing after he
"Why are we being sued? It's my father who wants to be sued."
The housekeeper finally understood Meng Wenyao's intention and asked Aunt Wen's fiancé to make the matter bigger. Then, with the help of Li Xiucai, he sent Xiang Demei to prison, so that the young lady would not have to bear the reputation of being unfilial.
This is simply a huge gain.
He quickly asked someone to carry Aunt Wen out and went straight to Li Xiucai's house.
Aunt Wen was thrown to Li Xiucai's door, the gongs and drums were beaten, and a large number of people quickly gathered to watch the excitement.
The door of Li's house also opened, and Li Xiucai's mother asked angrily: "Who are you, and what are you doing in our house?"
The housekeeper was grieved and flattered, and stepped forward to reply: "Mrs. Li, it's all our master's fault. It wasn't that Miss Wen got married before. Miss Wen was accidentally included in the house because of her good service. Recently, I heard that Miss Wen was married." The girl was engaged to the noble man, and our master immediately had Miss Wen's fetus aborted, and you see, it was returned to you intact."
All this was going on. Li Xiucai's mother looked puzzled. She stepped forward and opened the curtain of the carriage. When she saw Aunt Wen with a shameful and bloodless face, she finally understood what was going on.
Miss Wen and her son have been engaged since childhood. Unfortunately, their family is poor and their son has never been successful in the imperial examination. Miss Wen has never been satisfied with this marriage.
I heard that two or three years ago, Miss Wen became someone's wife. Her family considered themselves unlucky, so they pretended that the marriage had not been arranged.
Now seeing the person being sent back, Li Xiucai's mother looked very ugly, and the neighbors were watching. She said angrily: "Where did you get this prodigal? My son no longer wants her, so throw her out quickly."
When the people around heard what Mother Li said, they also started talking.
"Oh, he is a naughty one and ran away with others."
"The Li family is a family of scholars after all. How could they still want this Miss Wen? You gave it to the wrong girl. Please send it back to the Wen family."
When the voices of the people around him gradually died down, the butler took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms, shook it and opened it for the people around him to take a look at.
"Everyone, Miss Nawen is my concubine. It's true that our master didn't know that Miss Wen was engaged. Our master is not the kind of person who robs civilian girls. Now I specially sent a hundred taels here as an apology to the Li family. Please be a witness."
In an ordinary family, twenty taels would be enough for a year, let alone one hundred taels. Mother Li stared at the purse, her face changing again and again. He said a little unnaturally: "Your master has done something wrong, so he should pay some money. Why is this our daughter-in-law who has never married into our family?"
Seeing this, the people around him also started to chime in and said, "That's right, if we file a lawsuit with the government, you, the master, will definitely be sued."
The housekeeper apologized hurriedly and asked someone to bring a lot of snacks from the carriage to the neighbors: "Our master was confused for a moment and was seduced by Miss Wen. He forgot his sense of propriety. Please advise Mrs. Li, don't do it." Go and sue our master, I will bow to you all."
The better it is to have too many housekeepers, the harder Mrs. Li's back is. She points her hands on her hips and shouts at the housekeeper: "Our Li family is also from a scholarly family. Who are you? You have taken over my daughter-in-law. Just take this one hundred taels of silver." Send us away, do you think we are the kind of people who are blind to money?"
As he said this, he took the purse and put it into his arms.
Seeing this situation, the housekeeper's attitude was so good that he took a part-time job and said, "Mrs. Li, calm down and tell us what you have to say. I am just a servant on errands. If you have any conditions, tell us first. I will go back and tell our master."
After hearing this promise, Mrs. Li raised her chin and began to make conditions: "Ask your master to come over in person to make amends. As for the apology, no matter what..."
She stretched out a finger and felt bad, so she added another finger and said loudly: "Two thousand taels."
"It's easy to talk about."
The butler agreed and immediately went back with his servants as if they were fleeing.
Halfway through, the housekeeper couldn't stop laughing: "It's so nice, it's so nice, we promised Mrs. Li so many conditions, but if the master can't fulfill them in the future, looking at Mrs. Li's appearance, there is a high probability that she will go to the government to sue our master. It's really nice. "
The housekeeper always had good taste. Seeing how neatly the housekeeper agreed, Mrs. Li really planned how to ask for more compensation.
Li Xiucai, who had just returned home, heard about this and strongly disagreed with his mother's plan.
"Mom, just keep this little money and send Miss Wen back. Our two families will never owe each other anything."
"How can this little money be enough?"
Mrs. Li was immediately furious. She pointed at Li Xiucai's nose and cursed: "You don't need money to study, and you don't need money to marry a wife in the future. What will you do if you spend these one hundred taels? This is what the Wen family owes us. She doesn't like it." Do you want to be a concubine? When you get a wife in the future, you can ask her to be your concubine so that you can save money on buying a maid."
Li Xiucai was a scholar, but Mrs. Li couldn't reason with her. He turned around and went out to find Wen Xiucai and asked him to take his daughter home.
Wen Xiucai has been a scholar all his life, but he has also been poor all his life. Ever since his daughter married a rich man and lived without wives or concubines, he turned a blind eye and never asked.
Now that I have been publicized with gongs and drums, I feel that my face is really shameless, and I may even lose my face for the rest of my life.
He followed Li Xiucai to Li's house and slapped his daughter when he saw her.
"Mr. If you have something to say, please tell me." Li Xiucai strongly disagreed with the use of violence.
On the other hand, the mood on the side was very good. Mother Li, who was eating melon seeds, pulled her son over with all her strength.
"I'm trying to teach my daughter what's wrong with you. Besides, she's been sent back for being an unmarried prostitute. A slap in the face is considered light. In my opinion, she should be hanged with a rope, so as to save her life and make people laugh. Nonsence!"
After Mr. Wen was angry, he didn't want to take Aunt Wen back. Otherwise, if all his neighbors knew about it, how would he survive the rest of his life?
"In-laws, since I have been determined to be your family since I was a child, and since this person has been sent to your family, there is absolutely no reason for me to take her back. No matter whether she is dead or alive, I will treat her as if I don't have this daughter."
The old scholar Wen put down his words with a clear attitude and left. Mother Li stood behind and scolded her.
"She is really a little whore who has a mother but no father. She has been spoiled and treated like a rag. She still thinks she is a young lady. We feel dirty when she pours water to wash our feet in the Li family."
Mother Li collected the money and could not drive Aunt Wen out. She still hoped to rely on Aunt Wen to blackmail her.
But he couldn't get out of his heart. He stood at the door and scolded her until dark. Li Xiucai couldn't control his mother and hid out long ago.
Mother Li was tired of scolding, so she went to the street and bought two kilograms of pig head meat, ate and drank some wine, and then slept until dawn.
She got up early in the morning, opened the door of Aunt Wen's room, and wanted to tell her that when Master Xiang came to apologize, she would ask for her help to get more money.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw that Aunt Wen had been hanging on the beam with a rope.
