Chapter 941 Arrangement
Master Li Er's wife was overjoyed when she heard this. She held Master Li Er's hand and said, "Mr. Li, did you hear that? My wife said she was here to save us... We are saved!"
Locked in the mansion for more than ten days, they lived like a year, firstly because they were afraid of death, and secondly because they were afraid that their two daughters would live a life worse than death in the future.
Young Master Li was also very happy to hear Mrs. Li's words, but he was still angry and unwilling to open the door.
His daughter-in-law smiled when she saw it and said, "Master, please straighten your clothes first, and then I will open the door for Madam."
After saying that, he left the house and happily opened the door for Mrs. Li. The moment he saw Mrs. Li, he couldn't help but shed tears: "Madam~"
Seeing that she was just looking haggard but otherwise fine, Mrs. Li felt relieved and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, you will be fine."
Then he turned to look at the yamen servant and gave him a banknote: "Excuse me, please wait here. I'll go talk to them and I'll be out soon."
Although Mrs. Li's dowry is not much, she has managed it well in the past ten years and has some money on hand, so she is not short of this banknote.
The yamen servant was none other than Zhang Sanjin.
Zhang Sanjin was smart and knew that Young Master Li and the others could not escape, and Mrs. Li had met the magistrate and received the visitation document. Therefore, after Zhang Sanjin received the banknote, he stood at the courtyard gate and watched without taking a step into the courtyard.
Mrs. Li followed Master Li's wife into the main room.
Young Master Li was already sitting in the main room. When he saw Mrs. Li coming in, he did not get up to greet her. He turned his head away with a cold face, obviously still angry.
Mrs. Li didn't talk nonsense to Young Master Li, and said directly: "You don't have to hate me, I am doing this to save you."
"Save us?" Young Master Li stood up angrily, pointed at Madam Li and said, "Don't say it so nicely. You don't want to live after Brother Zhuo goes. You just want to avenge Brother Zhuo. Didn’t think about us!”
Mrs. Li's face turned cold and she asked: "Brother Zhuo is my son, don't you know how he died? Don't you allow me to take revenge?!"
After hearing this, Second Young Master Li suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking when he thought of Brother Zhuo's death from illness... Speaking of this matter, not only his father, but also he owed Mrs. Li.
He is Zhuo Geer's biological brother. If he could have fought with his father to the end, he might have been able to save Zhuo Geer's life. But he didn't. After being slapped by his father, he gave up. As a result, Zhuo Geer's condition was delayed and he died on the road.
Young Master Li Er is not a very strong person. This period of time has been very painful. When he remembered that Brother Zhuo died of illness because of his weakness, he couldn't help crying.
Master Li Er's wife saw him and hurriedly comforted him: "Master, don't cry, he will get better."
Mrs. Li didn't have time to watch Second Young Master Li cry. She only said: "Second Young Master, you are almost thirty. If the Li family is defeated, you will have to rely on you to support the family in the future. You are crying like this. In the future, let the two sisters What should I do?"
Before Young Master Li could put away his tears, he continued: "I'm here to tell you that I didn't kill you. On the contrary, I went to court to report Li Zhi to save you. You should know very well that Li Zhi takes the blame." Since he was an official, he has done many things that could destroy his family and his family. The murder of Yuan Jiaman is the lightest of all his crimes. Although you will be imprisoned, such crimes can be wiped out with money. "
Second Young Master Li knew that Mrs. Li was right. His father had been pursuing the Conglong Gong since he hooked up with that noble man. If Emperor Chu found out that his father had taken refuge with the eldest prince and was plotting to seize the throne, They didn't say that one clan was wiped out, but that nine clans were not saved!
But……
"Taking human life is also a serious crime, and the emperor is short of money. There are five people in our family, and each person needs at least ten thousand taels of silver. This is fifty thousand taels. All the family property has been confiscated, where can we get fifty thousand taels of silver? Can you exonerate us?"
He looked at Mrs. Li: "Even if all of Mrs. Li's dowry is sold, it probably won't be this amount."
Mrs. Li is just the concubine of a merchant. No matter how rich her mother-in-law is, it is impossible for her to give a concubine a large dowry.
Mrs. Li said: "My dowry is indeed not that much, but after adding in your mother's dowry and the dowry of the eldest master's wife, it is more than enough, and it can allow you to continue to live a life of a rich family."
"What did you say?" Young Master Li Er was shocked: "Didn't my mother and sister-in-law's dowries also be confiscated? How can they still be used?"
Mrs. Li shook her head when she heard this. This second young master was really of noble origin, ignored the common affairs, and didn't know how to prepare for a rainy day: "As early as when I learned that your father was appreciated by that noble man, I started to quietly transport the dowry away. Not in this house.”
Naturally, the magistrate couldn't find the dowry when he ransacked the house.
but……
"Your mother and Li Zhi have not reconciled, and your sister-in-law is still the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Their dowries are not visible to the public. I will sell them all and exchange them for money to save you. Don't blame me."
"No blame, no blame." Young Master Li's daughter-in-law almost cried with joy. They could forgive their sins and have money to continue living. They were grateful to Mrs. Li before it was too late, so how could they still blame her.
Young Master Li Er did not speak, but the world that he originally thought was falling was suddenly propped up again.
Mrs. Li continued: "It takes time to travel from the capital to He'an Mansion, and you may have to stay here for a while. But don't worry, I have taken care of everything, and you will not suffer. Neither will Brother Yan. There will be The doctor came to treat him."
The family of five that Young Master Li mentioned earlier included Li Yan.
"After your father's case is reviewed by Dali Temple in the capital, I can use the money to clear your guilt. I bought you a house and a village in Yuhu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. You can settle there after your guilt is cleared... I have an old friend somewhere who can take care of you."
He then explained: "Don't go back to your hometown in the northwest for now. The road from Zhongzhou to the west has been uneasy, and there are many bandits. It is best for you, your wife, and your two girls to live in Jiangnan."
The second young master Li's daughter-in-law was overjoyed. Madam had arranged everything for them. She wrote down everything Madam Li said: "Madam, don't worry, we have all remembered it."
Then he asked her: "Where is Madam living recently? Come with us to Yuhu Mansion then."
After listening to Mrs. Li, she seemed to have no intention of living with them, but she was a divorced woman and her only biological son was dead. Where else could she go if she didn't live with them?
Mrs. Li shook her head: "No, I have a place to live, just in the small Qingming Temple in the city. There are female cultivators everywhere. Many married ladies who are divorced or have no children are cultivating there. I like it very much. I'm waiting for you. After the matter is over, you will become enlightened."
Hair loss!
When Young Master Li Er heard this, he finally stood up and said, "Madam, you don't have to be like this. Although you have reconciled with your father, you have saved our family's lives, and we should support you."
Going to a Taoist temple to practice alone makes me feel desolate just thinking about it.
Mrs. Li still shook her head: "No, it's good to be in the temple. You can pray for Brother Zhuo... Just live a good life on your own. If you miss me, bring your two sisters to visit when you have time." Just look at me."
