Chapter 131 I Won’t Be Called to Fight Again
Li Yujiao was stunned for a moment by the question.
To be honest, she did feel a little disappointed when she saw that the person inside was not him.
Even though she and he had been getting along like an old married couple during this period, she still subconsciously felt that his future life would be very complicated. What's more, she was a person who traveled through a book and the protagonist of the book was Dong Qiqi.
Jing Qishan is the big villain in this book!
Seeing that she didn't answer, Jing Qishan asked again: "Do you need to think about this issue for so long?"
After asking, he continued walking forward.
Li Yujiao couldn't help but follow.
She seemed to be explaining, but also to be making excuses: "It was the old woman inside who came to inform me that the person inside was you."
He didn't look back, and asked as he walked: "Do you believe what they say?"
"..." Li Yujiao didn't quite believe it at the time, but she didn't believe it at all either.
She changed the subject and said, "That's not the point. The point is why they said it was you? Did you go in as well? Otherwise, why would they say that?"
Jing Qishan said, "Li Yu'e wanted to frame me and had someone put drugs in my tea. I had seen that kind of drug before and could smell it. So I put the drug in their tea and that's what happened."
In his past life, there were countless women who wanted to harm him or have sex with him. Besides, there were only two or three kinds of aphrodisiacs available for purchase in the current dynasty. How could he not smell them?
Li Yujiao expressed her admiration for him: "Fortunately you didn't fall for it, but you were the one who gave them the drug, will you be okay?"
"My lady, are you worried about me now?"
She said guiltily, "I'm just asking."
When they reached the door of the house, Jing Qishan stopped, turned around and said to her, "You go in by yourself."
"What about you?" she asked doubtfully.
Jing Qishan said coldly: "Such a big thing happened in the government office. I have to go back to deal with it, and I have to find a way to keep myself out of it."
After saying that, he left without hesitation.
Li Yujiao stood there and watched his back disappear into the night, with a complicated feeling in her heart.
Maybe she should believe him.
Forget it, since the divorce doesn't work out, let's just take it one step at a time.
……
Li Yujiao slept until dawn. When she woke up, she was dazed for a while.
When she was about to get out of bed, she found that the mattress next to her was still the same as last night, neatly folded.
Jing Qishan didn’t come back last night?
Could it be that Li Yu'e's case was too complicated and would take a long time to try?
Yes, the sixth and seventh leaders of the Tiger Head Gang have both sneaked back. This is a big deal and should not be underestimated.
She went out to wash up.
Just after washing, Jing Qishan came back.
Jing Qishan looked like he hadn't slept all night, his chin was blue and there was a circle of stubble on his beard.
"Are you back? How was the case last night?" Li Yujiao asked him while hanging up her handkerchief.
Jing Qishan sat down on a chair nearby and said, "They ran away."
"Ran?"
"When I sent you back, they ran away. I guess Wu Xingan let them go on purpose. I searched for them all night but couldn't find them."
"They? Including Li Yu'e?" Li Yujiao asked.
"Of course it is included."
Li Yujiao was shocked, but then she thought about it and agreed.
The things Li Yu'e had done before were at most crude and immoral, but last night she was naked in bed with three men and was seen by so many people. Naturally, she was too embarrassed to stay in Rongcheng anymore.
It’s a pity for Mr. Li, who had finally found his biological daughter, but now he has to look for her again.
While Li Yujiao was in a daze, Jing Qishan said, "Madam, I want to wash my face and shave."
"Okay." Li Yujiao said.
But after answering, she realized that Jing Qishan wanted her to serve him!
She immediately said, "Come by yourself."
"Can't my wife do it for me?"
In this era, women had to serve their men after they got married. Li Yujiao took care of him meticulously at the beginning, but after she had Chun Ge, she stopped doing these things.
Li Yujiao said: "You have your own hands and feet, wash them yourself."
As a woman of the new era, she would not do such a job of serving others.
Jing Qishan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll do it myself."
After all, this woman still doesn't have him in her heart.
……
Li Yujiao went to the noodle shop and was busy in the lobby for a while.
It is said that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide, especially romantic affairs.
The story of Li Yu'e has spread all over the streets and alleys, and people who come here to eat noodles are talking about it excitedly.
"I heard that Mr. Li in our city is in big trouble. His daughter is having an affair with the county magistrate's family and the two former leaders of the Tiger Head Gang!"
"Only two? I heard there were four or five men."
"More than that, right? I heard there were more than a dozen."
"Wouldn't Mr. Li be ashamed to death?"
"Mr. Li's house is now closed and no one is allowed to see him."
"..."
Mr. Li’s home.
The master's house is now so dead silent that even mosquitoes that fly in will fly away in frustration. The servants dare not say a word, for fear that they might say something wrong and offend the master.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have been crying since they came back from the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The daughter that I finally found is lost again and ran away with the Sixth and Seventh Bosses!
But even if she didn't run away, they wouldn't tolerate her after something like that happened. It's simply a shame for the family!
Madam Li has repeated this sentence more than a dozen times: "I still can't figure it out. She has enough food and clothes at home, why does she have to be so stubborn and keep chasing after Li Yujiao?
Wouldn't it be better to just find someone to marry?"
Now that the situation has developed to this point, they no longer plan to look for Li Yu'e. If she is willing to come back, they will find a widower for her to marry in the countryside. If she is not willing to come back, then it will be up to her. They don't care whether she lives or dies.
……
It’s only been a few days since the scandal in Rongcheng, and now another big thing has happened:
The imperial court is going to increase taxes, probably because the war in the southwest is getting urgent and they need to raise funds for military expenses.
Li Yujiao's food shop had to collect an additional tax of four taels of silver every month. Although it was not enough to keep the business going, it was enough to cover the monthly wages of two employees.
Li Yujiao was very dissatisfied with this, but she could do nothing about it.
She was more worried about Jing Qishan than paying taxes.
The southwestern battlefield is short of both manpower and money now. Will Jing Qishan be called to fight again?
The original book did not specify when he returned to the battlefield, it only said that he went there after he recovered from his injuries, so if you calculate the time, it would be about the same.
She had a vague feeling that her life was going to change a lot.
Sure enough, when she was about to go out that day, she saw Jiang Li as soon as she went out.
"Jiang Li?" Li Yujiao was very happy to see Jiang Li again.
Although Jiang Li didn't spend much time with her, she felt that he was an honest and loyal man. Although he was sometimes stubborn, he was passionate about serving the court.
But Jiang Li was different this time. He no longer had that innocent look on his face. Instead, he looked at Li Yujiao with eyes full of confusion and uneasiness.
After a while, he finally said, "Sister Jiao."
"Come in first," Li Yujiao welcomed him in and said to him, "Are you here alone?"
