The shop selling roasted chicken is a bit out of the way, not on the main street, but in an alley, but the roasted chicken tastes very good, and there are quite a few diners who come here because of the name, and the alley is quite lively.

Just as Mu Ting finished queuing up to buy roast chicken, he turned around and was about to go back when a woman carrying a bundle suddenly ran out of the alley and bumped into him as she passed by.

Immediately afterwards, several people dressed as servants followed the woman and ran after the woman, shouting while running, "Miss, don't run away, come back with us quickly, you can't run away."

The woman turned her head from time to time to see where the pursuer was. It was obviously a young lady who had been pampered in her boudoir. She had no experience in escaping, and her physical strength was not good enough. After a while, she was caught up and surrounded by the servants behind.

Seeing that there was a lot of excitement to watch, the people immediately rushed to surround the family members.

Mu Ting felt that the woman looked familiar, so he also went to join in the fun with the roast chicken.

The woman looked at the servant vigilantly with her bundle in her arms, her face full of resistance, "You...don't come here, I won't go back with you."

Someone in the family said, "Miss, why are you doing this, the master is coming soon, you should be obedient and go back with us, otherwise you will be angry when the master comes, why should the lady ask for trouble?"

The servants also tried to get closer to arrest people.

The woman waved her bag in all directions, "Don't come here, don't come here, I will never go back with you, not even if I die!"

Just when the servant was about to touch her, the woman pulled a hairpin from her head with a fierce expression and pressed it to her neck, "Stand back, if any of you dare to take a step forward, I will kill myself!"

The servants didn't dare to move anymore, so they could only surround her and continue to persuade her.

The woman couldn't run away either, so the scene was deadlocked.

At this time, the crowd opposite Mu Ting suddenly stepped aside, and a middle-aged man walked into the middle surrounded by two servants.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman coldly, "Run, you keep running, you shameless thing, you have learned to run away from home."

The woman's hand holding the hairpin trembled, she shook her head at the middle-aged man, and looked at him longingly, "Father, my daughter begs you, my daughter doesn't want to fill in someone's house, she would rather die than die."

The woman straightened her back, the hairpin was closer to her neck, and she looked extraordinarily firm.

However, the middle-aged man was not frightened at all, with an indifferent expression, he approached the woman step by step, "Do you want to die, then show me your death."

The middle-aged man approached, and the woman backed away. There was a family member outside, but there was no way to retreat. The woman kept shaking her head, "Father, don't force me, I am your biological daughter."

The middle-aged man suddenly strode over and grabbed the woman's hand, "Die, don't you want to die, you die now!"

The woman was startled by the sinister look in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the middle-aged man's hands kept pushing the hairpin close to the woman's neck, shouting fiercely, but the woman was terrified when it was time for her to commit suicide.

The father and daughter competed with each other, and finally ended with the hairpin flying out and landing.

The middle-aged man scolded, "It's a disgrace, if you don't have the guts to make trouble, then come back with me if you don't dare to die, and get ready to get married!"

The woman's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes. When the middle-aged man turned around, she knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', "Father, my daughter, please don't force me, okay, that man is older than you, you What is the difference between forcing a daughter to marry and forcing her to death?"

"Father, with so many people watching, you don't want your daughter to reveal her identity, and let everyone know that you forced your daughter to die for..."

What he didn't say was obviously the biggest secret of this middle-aged man. When the woman was about to mention it, he suddenly turned his head and looked at his own daughter with undisguised ferocity.

The middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the woman again, pulled her up forcibly, and said something in a low voice, but the people present didn't hear it, the woman was obviously startled for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "Don't worry, my daughter won't say anything now, but If you really force your daughter to have no choice but to die, then don't blame her for being unfilial."

The middle-aged man was obviously annoyed, and even said hello a few times, "I really raised a good daughter!"

The middle-aged man turned around and left with his sleeves shaken, and of course he didn't forget to order someone to take the woman away.

The woman struggled to no avail, and was forced to be taken away, and the hairpin that fell on the ground was picked up by someone with quick eyesight and hands.

There was no excitement to watch, the favor slowly dispersed, and Mu Ting also walked back with the flow of people, but his pace was a little faster than before.

From the conversation just now, and the somewhat similar face, Mu Ting probably guessed the identity of the other party.

After returning home, he didn't go to Qi Zhan, but went straight to Brother Qi and Mrs. Li's yard to see Mrs. Li.

It just so happened that brother Qi came back early today, and was teaching Su'er in the courtyard, and Mrs. Li was sitting beside her and watching the maidservants embroider.

Seeing Mu Ting coming, Mrs. Li hurriedly got up to meet him, "Brother Ting is here, hurry up and move a stool for the third young lady to sit on."

Mu Ting hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother, I'm just here to ask something, and I'll leave after asking."

Brother Qi also looked at this side and asked Mu Ting, "But something happened?"

Mu Ting shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a fun watching."

Mu Ting told the two of the good show he happened to see when he was buying roast chicken, and then asked Li Shi, "Sister-in-law, does Li Ruyi look somewhat similar to you?"

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "Yes, my younger sister was jealous of it. Li Ruyi and I stood together, and everyone else felt that we were real sisters, and my younger sister was the second wife."

"What's wrong? Do you think the person watching on the street is Li Ruyi?"

Mu Ting nodded, "It looks like there is a middle-aged man, Li Ruyi called him father, he is not tall, and a little fat, with a mole on his right eye and a long beard, this is the second son of the Li family. Sir?"

Mrs. Li and Big Brother Qi looked at each other, and Mrs. Li nodded, "It's him, then you are right. That young woman is Li Ruyi. It seems that she really doesn't like this marriage."

Mu Ting thought, how could she like it? Li Ruyi said that the person she was going to marry was older than her father and had a low official position. What would she do if she married her? Would she be a widow when she died?

And there is also the comparison of Li Shi. My elder sister married a talented young man, who is dedicated and considerate, and has a limitless future, but she can only marry an old man to fill the house. She is so afraid of discomfort that she is so bold that she wants to run away , and even threatened her father in the street.

Mu Ting said, "The Li family is not kind, and Li Ruyi made a foolish move. Even if she threatens to stop marrying and fill the house, life will never be easy." Especially the people behind it will never allow it. There is Li Ruyi with such a heart.

"But there is always someone who wants to marry," Li suddenly said after Mu Ting finished speaking.

She looked at Big Brother Qi, "Li Ruyi is not the only daughter of the Li family who has not left the court, and the younger sister is not married either."

This kind of arranged marriage, especially the marriage made with the help of someone with ulterior motives, is not so easy to forget.

"No," Brother Qi grabbed Li Shi's hand to comfort her, "A fifth-rank official who fills the house doesn't dare to hit the little girl's head."

Li's father is from the third grade, and the eldest daughter is married well, so it's not enough for the younger daughter to fill in the old man's house. Moreover, the second wife of the Li family is plotting, and the eldest daughter probably doesn't know about it.

Mrs. Li shook her head, and said to Big Brother Qi: "You don't understand, sometimes when you get married, you have to agree with the elders' consent, and you have to agree with your teeth if you don't agree."

Mrs. Li felt a little emotional, "The Qi family is too simple. Don't tell me you have never heard of many secret methods in the inner house. Before marrying you, my mother taught me a lot of things. Taking a concubine is not good for me. But I think differently, I made it up when I married you, as long as you treat me badly, then neither of us should think about it."

Li's words were gentle, but considering her character, if she really broke out, it would still be lethal.

But the Qi family didn't give her any room to play, and Li's mother almost forgot what she taught her.

It was only today that I remembered that not everywhere is as peaceful as the Qi family. They have already seen the virtues of the second wife of the Li family during the Chinese New Year.

Li Shi said: "The second room can give you Li Ruyi's naked body, and they can use the same method to target the younger sister. A person who wants to marry a young girl to fill the house at a young age is not a gentleman like you."

Although it's just Li's concern, it's not impossible for the character of the second wife of the Li family.

Mu Ting was not familiar with the Li family, so he acted as a bystander, listening to Li Shi and Brother Qi discussing how to take precautions.

Brother Qi said: "Didn't your mother-in-law write you a letter before? You wrote a letter back to your mother-in-law, and wrote another letter to my younger sister, and sent someone to hand it to my younger sister. She is not young anymore. , will understand."

Mrs. Li is pregnant and can't go back to Li's house, and Brother Qi, as a son-in-law, can't go to Li's house alone to meddle in business. Let Li Xiaomei know about it and be more vigilant.

Mrs. Li felt that this was feasible, so she went to write a letter. Since there was nothing to do with Mu Ting, he went out of the yard to look for Qi Zhan.

Before Qi Zhan could rest, Mr. Fang stared at him punching. When he found Mu Ting, he immediately gave him a pitiful look.

Holding the roast chicken in his hand, Mu Ting said loudly to Qi Zhan, "Practice well, I bought you a roast chicken, and I'll eat it later."

Hanging with something to eat, Qi Zhan immediately revived with full blood, and felt that punching seemed not so tiring.

He happily agreed, and punched a few times quickly, wanting to show Mu Ting what he had learned today, and then... because of his wrong movements, Mr. Fang gave him a stick.

Qi Zhan: "..."

Mu Ting smiled and didn't see him for most of the day. This person is still his happy fruit.

Mu Ting told Qi Zhan to listen to what Mr. Fang said, and then he went back to the yard with the roast chicken, and then went to the kitchen. He said that he would take care of Mr. Fang's meals, so he must entertain people on the first day.

Mu Ting joined the busy kitchen, took the only remaining big elbow from the chopping board, and started to get busy, making braised elbow today.
