After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Cai Zhang noticed that Li Yanqi's expression was very aggressive, so he hurried to smooth things over. He pulled Li Yanqi's arm and moved him to the dark sandalwood armchair.

"There are so many empty chairs. Why are you standing here? Aren't you tired?"

As if he was the host, he turned around and greeted Qian Sanwen, "Old Qian, you sit down too."

He pointed at the maid whose face was half swollen on the ground and scolded her, "Don't blame your master for beating you. Can't you see that the masters are standing here? Why don't you go and make some good tea."

The maidservant had just heard that she was going to be handed over to Lieutenant General Li to be beaten and killed, and she was so frightened that her heart and liver were broken. Now, after hearing Cai Zhang's scolding, she felt as if she had been pardoned, and she ran away to make tea without saying a word.

Cai Zhang's eyes wandered between the two silent people, "Alright, alright, it's no big deal, stop fighting like black-eyed chickens, I will be the middleman today and mediate between the two of you."

Li Yanqi put one hand on the armrest of the sandalwood chair, forced a smile, and said, "Yanqi must give face to Lord Cai, but my wife wanted to hang herself after she went back yesterday. I had a hard time persuading her to stop. I guess she is still crying at home now."

Cai Zhang was shocked: "Why is this happening?"

Qian Sanwen was also shocked, "What?"

Li Yanqi raised one corner of his lips sarcastically, and squinted at Qian Sanwen with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes.

"Master Qian, didn't you hear what the maid said just now? She soiled my wife's clothes at the instigation of Miss Qian."

"Isn't this because I want to give your wife some clothes, but I'm afraid she won't accept them?"

Li Yanqi sneered and turned around to face Qian Sanwen and questioned him.

"Are you kidding, Prefect Qian? My wife doesn't need the clothes you have. If she was sending me clothes, why did Madam Wang strip my wife of her outer robe, not give her a change of clothes, but take away her clothes? She also wanted to lead the children of Prefect Qian's family to my wife's room! How does Prefect Qian explain all this?"

"General Li, please don't bluff me. I haven't heard any such rumors in the government office or back house!"

Just at this moment, the little maid in green, who had just reported yesterday's incident and was beaten, walked into the main hall trembling with fear, carrying a cup of tea.

Qian Sanwen pointed at the maid and shouted, "Tell me! Did any dirty rumors arise from the flower-viewing banquet at the backyard yesterday? If you dare to lie, I will sell you out immediately."

The maidservant had already been frightened by Qian Sanwen, and now she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve.

"No, no! Really not."

Qian Sanwen looked at Li Yanqi with his triangular eyes, "General Li, did you hear me?"

Li Yanqi chuckled lightly, pressed his elbow on his leg, leaned towards Qian Sanwen, and stared at the person in front of him with his dark eyes.

"Nothing happened yesterday because my wife did a lot of good deeds. Good deeds are rewarded. A visitor gave my wife some clothes to help her out of trouble. If not..."

"If anything happens to my wife, I won't want to live anymore."

His eyes were like a dark whirlpool, filled with a strong murderous intent.

Prefect Qian's pupils shrank slightly and the hairs on his back stood up. He understood the implication of Li Yanqi's words: If anything happens to my wife, you will all be dead.

The horizontal ones are afraid of the stunned ones, and the stunned ones are afraid of their lives.

Qian Sanwen's momentum weakened a bit: "No, no, I don't want to explain to Lieutenant General Li, it's just that Mother Wang slipped and drowned last night."

Li Yanqi withdrew his compelling gaze, leaned on the armrest of the sandalwood chair, and sneered: "Oh, is this what they call "God will punish you for your lowliness"? Besides, what hatred does that old woman, a servant, have against my wife? Could she be instructed by some treacherous person?"

This was an extremely impolite statement. Qian Sanwen felt embarrassed and wanted to refute it.

Cai Zhang stepped forward at the right time to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, this matter was caused by that old woman who was behind all this. Now that she is dead, it can be considered as retribution. But what happened to Madam Li is also because you, Old Qian, were not strict enough in controlling her. You should pay for Madam Li's clothes. Old Qian, please don't be stingy."

Qian Sanwen's face was not looking good, he pulled one corner of his lips, smiled but didn't smile, and said: "Of course, of course, this is what we should do to compensate Madam Li, I will give her one thousand taels and prepare a generous gift."

As he spoke, he shouted at the green-dressed maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling with an ebony tray in her hands, "You lazy bastard, hurry up and serve tea to Lord Cai and Lieutenant General Li."

"no need."

Li Yanqi stood up, brushed the corner of his robe, raised his emotionless eyes, stared at Qian Sanwen and said, "I was chasing those enemy bandits last night and didn't sleep a wink all night. I won't accompany the prefect for tea here. Goodbye!"

After saying this, he brushed off the dust and mud on his robe and walked out of the main hall of the government office with big strides and without looking around.

The remaining two watched his tall and straight figure disappear at the door.

Cai Zhang looked at the empty doorway, stood up, and said, "In that case, I will go back and interrogate the prisoners of war from last night."

Before leaving, he patted Qian Sanwen on the shoulder again and sighed, "Old Qian, loving a son is like killing him. You really should take good care of Caixia."

Qian Sanwen was filled with rage. After the two men left, he kicked the maid to the ground in anger and rushed to Qian Caixia's boudoir in a menacing manner.

But Doctor Qian Caixia had come to see her. After drinking a bowl of antipyretic medicine, she gradually woke up. Now she was listening with sleepy eyes to Madam Qian talking about her beloved daughter.

Qian Sanwen strode into the house, ignoring Mrs. Qian's question: "Did you catch the bandit chief? Master, you can't let him off easily!"

He only questioned Qian Caixia harshly: "Caixia, tell me honestly, were you the one who ordered Madam Li Yanqi to do those things yesterday?"

Qian Caixia's eyesight gradually cleared up. She struggled to the bedside, grabbed Qian Sanwen's sleeves, stared with her almond-shaped eyes, and begged: "Dad! I want to marry Li Yanqi! You are the prefect of Chongzhou, you must have a way, Dad! Teach him to marry me! Teach him to marry me!"

She was crying and looked like a madman.

It was like a bolt from the blue for Mrs. Qian, and she was so shocked that she stood there in a daze.

When Qian Sanwen heard his daughter's description, he understood everything. All the blood in his body rushed to his head and he slapped Qian Caixia in the face without holding back any strength.

He shook his fingers and said, "You, you really have no shame!"

Qian Caixia covered her rapidly swollen cheek and stared at Qian Sanwen with her eyes wide open.

"Even if you beat me to death today, I will marry him."

Prefect Qian was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand to hit again, but Mrs. Qian came over crying and stopped him.

"Master, calm down, calm down, Caixia is talking nonsense!"

Qian Sanwen put down his right hand in frustration, pushed Madam Qian onto the bed, and said angrily, "You are such a good daughter!"

Mrs. Qian pulled her daughter's hand and cried bitterly.

"Caixia, quickly apologize to your father and tell him that what you just said was nonsense!"

Qian Caixia's face was swollen and her words were unclear, but she still insisted: "Mom, I am very clear-headed and I must marry him.

"Why, Caixia, you haven't even met him, why do you have to marry such a married man?"

"No, I have. Do you remember the time when I met a bad guy?"

Qian Sanwen and Mrs. Qian looked at each other and saw fear on each other's faces.

"The person who saved me that time was Li Yanqi. Not only did he save my daughter, he also saw her naked body."

Qian Caixia's eyes were filled with madness. She endured the severe pain on her face and smiled, "I must marry him."
