Li You's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is also very confident. When she was young, she was the wet nurse of the third son of Lu Shangshu's family. When the third son grew up, he became the housekeeper of the third house. At that time, Mr. Liu was the one who inspected the nursing home.
Nowadays, the eldest son, Lu Shangshu, and the second son are all serving as officials outside. In his hometown in Xujiang County, the third son who was raised by the Wang family is the head of the family. Big things can't be talked about, but small things can sell a bit of face.
Seeing his real mother-in-law arrive in the hall and sit down side by side with his father-in-law, Li You thought to himself, you must have figured it out. Although I don’t know why you deliberately didn’t show up just now, it’s not that easy to see my uncle’s jokes...
In the entire Liu Mansion, the person whose position or interests are most consistent with Li You's is the mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang. Although she gave Li You a fierce look when she came in. On the way, Mrs. Wang thought of,
This must be the son-in-law trying to force her out.
However, Mrs. Wang said to Aunt Fu who was standing awkwardly beside her with a friendly look: "Sit down first, let's talk as a family if we have anything to say."
She didn't take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks. This mother-in-law has a very generous face. Li You thought to himself, it seems that just a few gossips are not enough, she has to add fuel to the fire.
Inspector Liu said to Mrs. Wang: "The younger generation had some conflicts, which surprised my wife."
Aunt Fu also said: "My nephew was severely beaten by Uncle Li, but there is no result yet. What should I do according to my sister?"
Wang then said to Li You, "What do you think?"
Li You secretly had a plan and stepped forward and said: "It's all my son-in-law's fault. Now the situation is forcing me to have no other choice. I am willing to compensate the Fu family with the house given by my two elders as an apology!"
Showing weakness openly and provoking secretly - he knew that this house was actually given to Mrs. Liu by the couple. By the way, he would observe the words and deeds. If this fuse could not be lit, then he would find another one.
Fu Cai, who had been coveting the house for a long time, was happy at first, but after thinking about it, he secretly thought that something was wrong. If Mr. Liu said this, he could accept it smoothly, but Li You's words to the Wang family were not so easy to accept.
.
Mrs. Wang's face darkened when she heard this. She felt sorry for her only daughter. She had also chosen the Fuxin Lane house and wanted it to be recorded in her daughter's name as a property. Besides, it was very close to the Liu Mansion, so it was easy to take care of her daughter. Listen to Li You
Does this mean that someone else wants to take it away?!
Inspector Liu scolded Li You: "Don't talk nonsense."
With someone who could help him support him, Li You let go. He was completely different from his arrogance just now. He said with a free and easy smile: "Today at the house in Fuxin Lane, I saw this eldest cousin of the Fu family bossing around and looking at him.
Just like the master of the house, it matches this house so well that my son-in-law doesn't dare to go and occupy the dove's nest."
Like the head of the family, the two words "dove occupying the magpie's nest" are quite vicious in their insinuations.
Fu Cai couldn't help it anymore, pointed at Li You and said: "Slanderous words, full of nonsense!"
Wang called Mei Zhi calmly and asked, "You went too, what happened?"
Mei Zhi lowered her head and replied: "I only saw that the steward is a bit careless." How to interpret this depends entirely on your own mind and who speaks louder.
Relying on his identity as son-in-law, Li You intervened again: "So he is the steward? Not only is he not considerate! My son-in-law is the son-in-law, and he is known as the sweet guest in the east bed of your house. He has been serving as his servant ever since he entered the house. But the steward has always been able to sit firmly in his seat.
Take your seat!"
Fu Cai jumped up in shock. He was used to being casually close to the Liu family, so he sat there habitually. He couldn't explain this. Although he was not a domestic slave, he still had the reputation of being in charge.
But he didn’t want to be picked on by Li You at this critical moment. No wonder Li You deliberately refused to sit down. Just now, he thought it was because he had a guilty conscience...
It wasn't until this moment that Fu really regretted it. This Li You was very difficult to deal with, and it was unwise to provoke him. He even received a severe beating, and no one mentioned it now. They were all talked about by Li You and ran away upstairs.
Finished the question.
On one side was the son-in-law whom she expected to provide for her in old age, and on the other side were the relatives of the concubine who needed to be beaten. The wise son-in-law made excuses for herself. Mrs. Wang had her own calculation in her heart and said coldly: "Very good, very good.
Then he said to Mr. Liu, the inspector: "Sir, if you pay a talent to someone below, you should deal with it according to family law."
Aunt Fu couldn't sit still anymore and argued: "My nephew is not a slave of the Liu family, and there is no explanation for being beaten. Please forgive me, mistress, and don't use family methods."
Regarding the identity of paid talents, this is an issue left over from history.
He was raised in the house in vain, and today he must sign a deed of sale... Wang made up his mind and said to her son-in-law: "You and Mei Zhi will go home and tidy up, and you will move to a new house tomorrow or the day after.
I will keep my daughter with me for a day and then send it to you."
How to deal with the following is an internal matter of the Liu family. Don't let this hateful and amiable son-in-law watch on the sidelines for fear of chaos in the world.
Li You didn't care even more. The original purpose of muddying the waters was to free himself, so he withdrew and left.
The interrogation in the three halls turned into a fight in the back house, and the argument between the wife and concubine below was the real big trouble. As a result, the sad old inspector Liu did not speak for a long time, silently watching Li Youyuan go, only sighing that he was pecked by geese all day long.
.
His original intention was to interrogate his son-in-law, who seemed to have ulterior motives, and carefully investigate what unknown thoughts he had. He also wanted to put pressure on Fu's aunt and nephew, and he also earnestly persuaded Wang to do something for the Liu family.
Don't come forward to support the overall situation. In the end, Li You turned an army against him, lit a fire in Liu's house and escaped. Even so, he still didn't understand Li You's true thoughts, so why bother.
This son-in-law actually turned around and smiled at him and winked... If I had known, I should have chosen a stupider son-in-law!
In fact, it's a very simple truth. It's not that Li You is smarter than others, he is just strong without desire. Everyone in the Liu family has their own interests, but Li You has no need here. The only useful inspection position has been borrowed, and the others
Interests basically have nothing to do with his son-in-law, so don't light the fire too easily.
Not mentioning the Liu family, it was rare for him to tease his father-in-law. Li You, who was in a good mood, took Mei Zhi back to Xishui Town. It was already the second watch. While the lady was not there, Mei Zhi packed up the soft things in the main room.
Use things and prepare to move to the new house in the county as soon as possible.
Mr. Li sat aside and watched, idly drinking tea. His eyes casually glanced at the buttocks of a certain maid. At this time, Mei Zhi was bending down to explore the bottom of the cupboard, and a round buttock was sticking out from behind. Reminiscent of this
Mr. Li couldn't help but become interested in the scene last night.
Except for last night, he had never been alone with her much and was not very familiar with her. Li You thought for a long time and found something to say: "Mei Zhi! Why don't you put in a good word for me in the Liu Mansion?"
Mei Zhi did not look back, and continued to play with things, turning her back and retorted: "Didn't it seem that this servant helped the steward? The master is really unreasonable! You can beat or scold me as you please."
You damn maid, could you please speak more politely? Li You was choked again. Little did he know that Mei Zhi was angry on behalf of Madam Liu for his arrogant shopping with the beauty today.
If Li You hadn't had such a flirtatious relationship last night, he would have attacked her again. But he thought, I'm sick, I can do whatever I want. The first time, I may have to find a fig leaf, but the second time I marry a maid.
Still need to find a huatou?
He stood up in high spirits and strode to the cupboard, grabbed the plum branch and threw it on the bed, shouting: "You really can't speak, I want to teach you a lesson." He rubbed Mei Zhi's body a few times and then pulled her dress.
At first, Mei Zhi stood upright on the bed like a dead fish, letting Li You do what he wanted. Then she couldn't help shouting: "It's going to be torn. Master, get out of the way, and I will untie it myself."
Just as Li You was unbuttoning his pants and climbing up, he suddenly heard Zhang San, his eldest follower, calling from the courtyard gate: "Master!"
"Go away! I have no time!" Li You shouted.
Then I heard a woman talking outside the window: "Husband, don't you see me?"
Is this voice Miss Guan? Li You was startled, why is she here at this time?
Mei Zhi lay under Li You and said sarcastically: "There is probably a better woman coming, sir, please go."
