After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Li Jianzhang naturally walked to Liu Yuefu's side, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly: "Yuefu, listen to my explanation, I never said those words. This is just a misunderstanding.

Wei Suxin is a sister I met outside. She may have always liked me. Don’t you know me? I... I never know how to say no. Maybe she misunderstood something. "

"Oh?!" Liu Yuefu showed a look of obvious disbelief, snorted coldly, and walked straight out.

Li Jianzhang also quickened his pace to catch up.

When Wei Suxin saw Li Jianzhang leaving, she followed him.

Wei Suxin chased after him, mumbling, "What? He must explain it to me clearly this time!!"

But at this time, the inn waiter saw Wei Suxin, and he hurried forward to stop Wei Suxin and said, "My aunt, I finally found you. Mr. Wei is waiting for you in the accounting office. He said he has something to ask you about the accounts. Please come over immediately."

"Tell my brother that I'm busy now and will be there in a while." Wei Suxin said hurriedly.

After saying that, Wei Suxin lifted her skirt and walked through the crowd to chase Li Jianzhang and Liu Yuefu.

After being interrupted by the waiter, she could no longer see Li Jianzhang and Liu Yuefu in the space of two sentences. When she arrived at the door, she could only see the Li family's carriage going further and further away, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves.

Wei Suxin moved her wrist which had been pinched by Li Jianzhang.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianzhang would actually spend a wonderful night with Liu Yuefu in Nanwang Inn as Liu Yuefu said.

Last time, he had a secret meeting with other women in the winter hunting forest, and this time, he spent a good night with his wife. Li Jianzhang, is this what you mean by loving only me?

Wei Suxin felt as if her heart was pierced by thousands of arrows, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Although she was in a bad mood, Wei Suxin still insisted on finishing her work at the inn before returning to the villa. She thought Li Jianzhang would come to give her an explanation, but she unexpectedly received a farewell letter from Li Jianzhang.

He wanted to end all ties with her.

Wei Suxin thought of the letter Liu Yuefu wrote to her this morning, asking her to meet at Nanwang Inn in the evening to verify her sincerity. The bet was that Li Jianzhang would say goodbye to Wei Suxin.

Wei Su was unwilling to separate from Li Jianzhang, but Li Jianzhang was an official and she was a civilian, neither his legal wife nor concubine. Li Jianzhang wanted to separate from her, and she had no way to stop him.

Wei Suxin cried herself to sleep with her eyes open at night.

On the other side, Liu Yuefu and Li Jianzhang got on the carriage. Li Jianzhang looked at Liu Yuefu and began to explain anxiously, "What she said is nonsense. It doesn't count. I just treat her as my sister."

"There is nothing innocent between us. Wei Suxin is just a merchant girl and cannot be my wife at all. If I really like her, why don't I tell my wife and take her as my concubine? My wife is not a narrow-minded and jealous woman." Li Jianzhang went on to say.

Liu Yuefu sneered in her heart, it was because Wei Suxin didn't want to be a concubine and believed in the promise you made to her.

If it weren’t for Liu Yuefu knowing all this in her previous life, she would have believed Li Jianzhang’s lies.

Liu Yuefu had not yet obtained the evidence to properly file for divorce from Li Jianzhang, so Liu Yuefu just remained silent and ignored Li Jianzhang.

When they arrived at Li's house, Liu Yuefu did not wait for Li Jianzhang to come down, and they went home together.

Instead, he got off the carriage alone and went straight to Yuehuaju.

When Li Jianzhang arrived at Yuehuaju, he saw that the gate was locked.

Li Jianzhang returned to his yard in disappointment.

The next morning, the fourth prince Liang Jitong came to visit and Li Jianzhang greeted him at the door.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, it is truly an honor for me to have you visit my humble home," Li Jianzhang said respectfully.

"Let's find a quiet place and have some tea and chat?" The Fourth Prince made an invitation.

"Okay, Your Highness, please follow me." Li Jianzhang said with a smile.

Li Jianzhang took the fourth prince to his study in the front yard.

After the Fourth Prince entered the house, he sat down unceremoniously on the main seat for entertaining guests.

He silently took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Li Jianzhang.

"Look at it."

Li Jianzhang took the booklet and what caught his eyes were rows of names, the purchase amounts, and the official positions they purchased.

Li Jianzhang scanned the pages one by one. Suddenly, his eyes fixed. Li Jianwen? Ten thousand taels, to buy the position of the eighth-rank county magistrate.

Li Jianwen, this is the name of Li Jianzhang’s second brother.

Li Jianzhang pointed at Li Jianwen's name in the book and asked solemnly, "Is this my brother?"

The fourth prince nodded slightly, "That's right." He then said, "I think Li Sicheng also knows that selling official positions and titles is one of the things that the current emperor cannot tolerate the most. This is a serious crime that will lead to confiscation of property and exile."

Li Jianzhang was so angry that his breathing became short and his chest kept heaving. How could he have such a brother?

"I hope the Fourth Prince can give me some advice." Li Jianzhang said respectfully.

"I came to you because I wanted to save you. This booklet was given to me by the Second Prince. It would be great if the Temple Secretary could get the Third Prince's people to speak nicely when handling this case. After all, he is somewhat involved in this case." The Fourth Prince said with a wry smile.

"I understand. It is not my fault for me to hinder the Second and Fourth Princes from inviting me." Li Jianzhang replied with a slight smile, and picked up the teapot to personally pour a cup of tea for the Fourth Prince. "Enjoy your meal."

The fourth prince took the tea and laughed, "Li Sicheng, you are really a smart man."

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. After all, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero." Li Jianzhang replied with a smile, and then took a sip of tea.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave." said the Fourth Prince.

"I'll see you off." Li Jianzhang followed the Fourth Prince out of the house.

After the Fourth Prince left the Li family, Li Jianzhang's face turned as dark as ink, and he said to the servant beside him, "Call the eldest and second masters to Shoukang Hall."

"Yes." The servant took the order and left in a hurry.

Li Jianzhang also went to Shoukang Hall himself.

As soon as I entered Shoukang Hall, I saw the old lady basking in the sun in the yard.

Seeing Li Jianzhang coming in, "San'er, you're here. Come, sit next to mother."

"Mother, my brother...he has gotten into big trouble!" Li Jianzhang was extremely angry.

"He actually bought an official position. This will lead to the confiscation of property and exile, and my official position will also be taken away! The Fourth Prince came to me today, and because of my brother's matter, I have no choice..." Li Jianzhang sighed and said, "I can only agree to the Fourth Prince first."

"Now, I've been dragged into the fight between the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince for no reason." Li Jianzhang was full of resentment.

"San'er, don't forget, if it weren't for your two brothers who supported you in your studies, how could you have such a bright future and how could you marry a girl from the Liu family?" the old lady said in a deep voice.

The old lady was somewhat partial. She felt sorry for her two older sons. She worked hard in their early years to support their younger brother's studies, but now her younger brother despised her and regarded her as unpresentable, which brought shame to him.

"I know. It's been two or three years. I have been supporting this whole family. Have I ever complained?" Li Jianzhang asked back.

"It's best if you know the answer." The old lady said coldly.

At this time, Li Jianye and Li Jianwen entered the yard together.

Li Jianwen asked from a distance: "What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"

Li Jianzhang was furious when he saw him and threw a booklet in his face, "Look at what you have done!"

Li Jianwen was confused and picked up the booklet that had fallen to the ground. "I can't read. What do you want me to read?!"

"This book contains the record of your buying an official position. Did you know that if this matter is exposed, not only you but also I will be in trouble!"

"This is a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and exile!" Li Jianzhang said in one breath.

"I'm not the only one who bought it. My brother Li Jinhu bought it too, and now he's the chief clerk in the government office. Besides, I just want to share the burden with you." Li Jianwen kept muttering.

"I'll take responsibility for what happened today, but you all have to behave yourself from now on!" Li Jianzhang glanced at the two of them and said coldly.

"If I can't bear it in the future and something happens, you will die with me!" Li Jianzhang said sinisterly.

"San'er, it's okay. Your brother knows he's wrong." The old lady said to smooth things over.

"That's right. It doesn't matter how small the matter is, but it's not worth it for you to be like this." Li Jianwen said dissatisfiedly.

Li Jianzhang snorted coldly, "Mother, just protect him."

"You two should also think about San'er and don't cause trouble for no reason." The old lady warned.

"I bought the official position just for my younger brother. This way, our second branch will be established and he will have less pressure," Li Jianwen said confidently.

"So you're doing this for my own good?" Li Jianzhang laughed in anger.

"Anyway, the booklet is in your hands, brother, so why not just burn it?" Li Jianye said.

"What do you know? The Fourth Prince dares to use this to control me. This must be a copied copy." Li Jianzhang said speechlessly.

On the other side, Chuntao opened the curtain and entered the wing room of Yuehuaju.

"Madam, there was a big commotion in Shoukang Hall today. I heard from Mrs. Zhang, who serves the old lady, that the second master actually tried to buy an official position from someone." Chuntao gossiped.

"Isn't this a crime according to the law?" Hua Ling asked while massaging Liu Yuefu's shoulders.

"It is said that it is true. Now the old lady has sealed her mouth and told us not to tell anyone." Chuntao said.

Liu Yuefu's eyes lit up. How could she have almost forgotten about this? Wasn't this opportunity here?
