"Dad, dad--" The girl wrapped herself in the sheet that was drying in the yard, ran behind her father with a mustache, and cried and complained, "Dad, the classmates my brother brought back bullied me, and I won't live anymore!"
Ye Xu held his head with a headache, closed his clothes, looked around the yard, and landed on Mustache.
"Brother Li, this matter is my fault. Let me first apologize to you and your family. I will also take responsibility for your sister. When I inform my parents, I will take your sister as my concubine immediately."
Mustache widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "What? You asked my sister to be your concubine?"
Ye Xu was stunned by his raised voice. He looked at Father Li who was livid with anger, then at Li Cai who looked angry, and then at the crying girl who was dying of shame and anger.
I slapped my forehead and suddenly woke up.
He has been plotted!
"Li Cai, what do you mean?" Ye Xu's face darkened, "Didn't you say you were willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to give your sister to me as my concubine?"
This sentence made everyone present change their expressions. Father Li looked at his son in shock, his lips trembling.
"You, you promised?"
Father Li glanced around the yard, ready to find someone who could take advantage of him and beat him up.
Li Cai quickly waved his hand and said: "Dad, I didn't agree. I only agreed to lend him a thousand taels of silver for an emergency. He wanted to redeem himself for a flower girl in a brothel, but I didn't agree to give him my sister!
"
"We are all serious people. When I marry my sister, I can receive hundreds of taels of silver as a bride price. Why should I be asked to pay a thousand taels of silver to be a concubine? I can't do such a thing even in my brain.
!”
There is always a shortage of people watching the excitement in this world. Before the customers who came to the store just left had left, a few more people came around and pointed at Ye Xuqi's busy discussion.
"That's right, why are you still a scholar? People from out of town dare to cause trouble in the capital. Just because they have fame, they won't take us, the lower-class people, seriously!"
"You have ruined this innocent girl. Does your frivolous saying about taking a concubine mean that you are responsible?"
"We all live on the same street. We all know what kind of family the Li family is. They are definitely not the kind of people who want to follow others!"
"Old man Li, I think you should report it to the police as soon as possible. We can all testify for your family!"
When he heard that he was going to report to the official, Ye Xu panicked, waved his hands and said, "You can't report to the official!"
He has not yet taken office. If he just reports for office, it will have an impact on his official career.
"Then you will marry my girl as your legal wife!"
Old Man Li's eyes were red and he was very angry. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he was willing to marry. Old Man Li was still feeling resentful in his heart.
"Even if I had money, I wouldn't lend it to a beast like you! If my girl's reputation hadn't been ruined by you, even if you kowtow to me, I wouldn't want you to be my son-in-law!"
Ye Xu was in trouble. It was popular in Beijing to find a son-in-law. He missed several opportunities. It was not that he didn't want to marry, but that he couldn't marry.
Li Cai, who had been in a daze, seemed to be enlightened at this time. He pointed at Ye Xu and said: "Dad, let's report to the official. He has already married a wife at home. He was drunk and I kindly took him in, but he turned out to be...
Taking advantage of my sister is not a good person at all!"
"Even if my sister marries him, I don't know whether she will be able to live with her in the future!"
"Dad, now that we have all the witnesses and material evidence, let's report it to the official!"
Ye Xu was dumbfounded and was pinned to the ground by his arms. Father Li found a rope to tie him up and sent him to the government...
In Tanchun Tower, after Yin Yue finished explaining the cause and effect of the incident, everyone in the room looked at each other.
After a long time, Zhou Zhan opened his fan and asked Shen Moran, "Did you let someone do it?"
"Look what you said, can I be that kind of person?" Shen Moran raised her voice, and when she saw Si Yiluo staring at her, knowing that both of them had misunderstood, she denied, "I really didn't do it. Yes, I just came to see the excitement, and this happened to me."
"Do you know anything?" Si Yiluo asked.
Seeing that both of them were curious, Si Yiluo coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I won't whet your appetite anymore. This matter cannot be said to have nothing to do with me. Your Highness, do you still remember what we heard on the boat the night before yesterday? Of?"
Zhou Rong brought a gift to ask for help, and he took a fancy to the Yancanal Road.
Every move of the princes could not escape Si Yiluo's eyes. Zhou Rong secretly met with Shen Shanxing, and Si Yiluo also received the news, but she did not know what they were plotting or saying in private.
"There are only a few official positions released this time. We screened the identities and backgrounds of the elected officials and picked the weak ones. Ye Xu was unlucky and was selected."
"His Royal Highness Prince Rong took a fancy to his position."
Zhuo Wen was the only one who could give Zhou Rong such an idea, so this matter was not complicated. Zhuo Wen had people design it. Shen Moran knew about it but did not stop it.
"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows. If you can't even see this simple strategy in the officialdom, Ye Xu will end up like this sooner or later."
"Old man Li has been in business for ten or twenty years and has always done his duty. Their family has an unfilial son named Li Cai. Li Cai is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Ye Xu is not a good person if he gets together with him."
"If he could stand on his own, he wouldn't be what he is today!"
"So he just took advantage of Jiang Yun..." Zhou Zhan exhaled, "?"
Different classes of people come into contact with, and the world they see is also different.
"There is a way to pave the way for oneself in the officialdom, which is to give concubines to superiors, or girls raised in one's own house, or concubines in one's own backyard." Si Yiluo explained, "Sometimes, one will also use his own concubines. It is a common practice among scholars to entertain friends."
"These women may be concubines who have signed a contract to sell themselves, or they may be famous prostitutes who have redeemed themselves from brothels, or even better, they may be concubines with an innocent background. Anyway, they have no choice but to be sent around as commodities. "
"Jiang Yun originally came from a high background and was talented, so she was targeted by Ye Xu."
When this topic was brought up, Shen Moran felt sad and felt sad for the women in the world.
The status of women is always lower than that of men, and each has its own misfortunes. Even if the status is as noble as a queen, she still cannot get the love and trust of her husband. She maintains the dignity of being a queen in the boring life day after day. Secretly bury the pain and suffering in your heart.
"I've already sent people to investigate. Jiang Yun is not the only one Ye Xu is targeting, and he already has a wife at home. No matter how nice he says, it's just a hypocritical face."
Shen Moran sneered: "Since someone is willing to take action, there is no need to dirty my hands!"
She glanced at Zhou Zhan and said meaningfully, "If anyone dares to do this to me, I will cut off his descendants and make him unable to be a man in this life!"
Zhou Zhan, who was lying on the gun inexplicably, glanced at Si Yiluo and said helplessly: "A woman should be virtuous and virtuous, and say less dirty words."
He wanted to remind Shen Moran to pay attention to his words, but he didn't expect that one sentence would offend two people at the same time.
Si Yiluo and Shen Moran looked over. Although the relationship between Si Yiluo and him was that of monarch and minister, they were also... elders. It seemed a bit inappropriate for him to lecture like this.
Si Yiluo understood what he wanted to express, smiled knowingly, stood up and said, "I have to go to the Yamen as an errand, so I won't disturb you."
