The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became. He actually started to talk about the wedding date. Li Yuqiong, who was at the side, really couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but flare up. At this moment, Xie Jiong's adjutant came to him, saying that he had urgent military matters.
However, Xie Jiong could only apologize to Old Master Li and leave in a hurry.
……
Although Xie Jiong had left, Old Master Li still refused to give up. He turned his head and began to talk to his daughter again.
As the Second Miss, Li Yuqiong couldn't take it anymore and said,"I'm not marrying!" He wanted to leave.
Old Master Li's expression immediately changed when he heard that. He shouted in a deep voice,"What did you say?"
Li Yuqiong knew that her father had always been stubborn and would not go back on his word. It was difficult to change what he had set his mind on. There would be no good outcome if she insisted on going against him. She was very anxious.
Li Yuxian also knew her father's stubborn personality. Seeing that her father and sister were about to quarrel again, she hurriedly advised,"Father, today is your birthday. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. We'll talk about it slowly in the future!”
However, as the head of the family, Old Master Li did not buy it. He shouted in a low voice,"This has nothing to do with you. Stop interrupting!”He turned around and asked Li Yuqiong,""Tell me, why don't you marry?”
Li Yuqiong was anxious and didn't know how to convince her father. The simplest reason was: Li Yuqiong did not like Xie Jiong! However, this reason did not make sense to Old Master Li. Because Li Yuqiong knew that even if she said it, her father would retort," Feelings are slowly cultivated. When you live together and get familiar with each other, you will naturally develop feelings! She would even use him and her mother as examples and say, You see, your mother and I were arranged by our parents. We didn't even meet before, but weren't we still very loving?
Li Yuqiong could not refute this because her father and mother were indeed very loving. After her mother passed away, her father never thought of remarrying!
Old Master Li stared at his daughter and asked,"Tell me!"
Li Yuqiong was very anxious by her father. She suddenly burst into tears and said,"Little Xuan is not human! After I was kidnapped to the mountain by him, he had evil intentions and raped me! I don't have the face to marry again!"
When these words were said, everyone could not help but be shocked! Almost at the same time, the old man stood up and asked with a trembling voice,"What did you say?"
Li Yuqiong covered her face with her hands and cried, acting as if it was real.
When Mrs. Landis heard this, her vision went black and she almost fainted. He stood up shakily and asked Li Yuqiong,""Second Miss, is what you said true? Did Xuan Zuo really do such a disobedient thing?”
Li Yuqiong didn't answer. The more she cried, the more she cried. Suddenly, she stood up and covered her face as she ran away, hiding in her room.
Mrs. Landis was stunned for a long time. She bent her legs and knelt down with a thud. She kowtowed to Grandpa Shen and apologized,"I gave birth to such a beast. I've really let down Master's great kindness!”
At this moment, Old Master Li was so angry that his entire body was trembling and he could not speak. He couldn't do anything to Xuan Zuo. Should he report it to the authorities? He had long been a bandit. He had long disregarded the government when he killed and robbed. She wanted to curse at him, but he was nowhere to be seen. She couldn't possibly let this old man go to the bandits 'lair to settle scores with him, right? The more the old master thought about it, the angrier he became. Could it be that his daughter was going to be ruined by him for nothing?
Eldest Miss Li Yuxian walked over and comforted her father,""Father, since things have come to this, don't be angry.”
The old man looked at his eldest daughter, who was more sensible, and said,"I want to be quiet."
Seeing this, Li Yuxian quickly helped her father back to the house to rest.
The birthday banquet ended on bad terms! When Butler Zhao saw this scene, he instructed the servants,"Old Master has always treated us well. No matter what, we can't say anything about this matter today. It will ruin Second Young Lady's reputation!”Everyone nodded in agreement. Poor Mrs. Landis was kneeling there, feeling ashamed and sad. She really wanted to kill herself!
After Li Yuxian helped her father back to his room to settle down, she hurriedly went to visit her sister. When he arrived at her room, he saw Li Yuqiong excitedly fiddling with her jewelry in front of the dressing cabinet! These accessories were left at home because it was inconvenient to wear them on campus. Li Yuqiong loved them so much that the first thing she did every time she came back was to fiddle with them. After carefully selecting them, she would wear all that she could bring!
Li Yuxian felt that something was not right. She did not understand why she was still in the mood to fiddle with these things at a time like this!
Li Yuqiong heard footsteps and turned around. When she saw that it was her sister, she raised her hand and smiled sweetly."Sister, do you think I look good with these accessories?”
Li Yuxian felt that something was wrong and asked,""Tell me the truth. Did Little Xuan really bully you?”
Seeing her sister's serious expression, Li Yuqiong couldn't help but laugh."He wouldn't dare even if he had the guts!"
The two sisters had lost their mother since they were young. Li Yuxian had always taken good care of her sister. Li Yuqiong had always been very close to her sister and trusted her very much. She had never hidden anything from her sister!
Li Yuxian was furious when she heard that.""Then how can you accuse Little Xuan? How could a young lady make irresponsible remarks about such things? Look at how angry her father is. What if something happens to him?”
Li Yuqiong said disapprovingly,""Hmph, who asked him to always force me to get married!”
Li Yuxian pulled a chair over, sat down, and said to her sister earnestly,""You're not young anymore. It's time to get married! Could it be that he could not marry for the rest of his life?”
"Yes, we have to marry him, but we can't marry this Xie guy!" Li Yuqiong said.”
"What's so bad about Young Master Xie?" Li Yuxian asked curiously. He has the looks and the character. Why don't you like him?”
"Anyway, I just don't have any feelings for him! If you like him, then you can marry him!”
"Nonsense!" Li Yuxian scolded.”Li Yuqiong laughed loudly.
Li Yuxian knew that her younger sister was just like her father. She had a very stubborn temper and no one could persuade her if she had set her mind on something. Hence, she decided not to waste her breath and changed the topic."You really saw Little Xuan today?”
Li Yuqiong nodded and said,"Yes, I'm not lying!" Fortunately, I met him. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to me now! When I was robbed by the bandits just now, I was scared to death!”At this point, he patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Why did he suddenly come back and become a bandit?" Li Yuxian asked curiously. Where has he been all these years?"
Li Yuqiong thought for a moment and said," On the way back, I asked him the same thing. He said it was a long story and didn't tell me in detail." He only briefly mentioned that he met a group of brothers outside and hung out with them for a few years. Later on, he missed home, so he parted ways with them and ran back alone. As for how he became a bandit, he said that he was wanted by the government because of a murder case. Other than becoming a bandit, he could do nothing else.”
