"What are you doing?"
Looking at the group of servants blocking her way, Qu Shuyun said angrily.
"Miss, Master is really not here." Butler Zhao replied.
"Move aside." Qu Shuyun shouted as she pushed the servant in front of her.
"Aiya! Who was the one who threw a tantrum the moment she came back?”His aunt leaned against the door and asked in a delicate voice.
"Where's my father? I want to see him." Qu Shuyun said coldly. She was on the verge of exploding.
"Old Master went to the yamen. He's not here." the eldest aunt said.
"All of you, get out of my way." Qu Shuyun roared.
"Let go, let Miss go in." the eldest aunt ordered.
Qu Shuyun walked into the room. As expected, there was no one inside.
"When is my father coming back?" She walked up to her eldest aunt and asked.
"I'm not sure about that. Men, Miss is tired. Send her back to her room. Without my order, no one is to let her out.”
"Let go. I'm not going back. I want to go back to the Li family.”Qu Shuyun struggled.
"Let me go."
A group of servant girls held her down and pushed her into the room.
Early in the morning, Qu Zhaoxin sat in the pavilion, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun.
Call him "Master!" The servant girl took the brewed tea from the servant girl and placed it on the table in front of him.
"Where's Miss?" Qu Zhaoxin shook his head.”
"After smashing all the porcelain and tearing up ten fans, you should be tired."”
"If you smash it, then put it back. If you tear it up, then buy it. Let her do whatever she wants."”
His aunt suggested," Master, why don't we put in a word with the Governor? He's our son-in-law after all. At least he can suffer less. What if he can't take it and confesses?"”
Looking at District Zhaoxin sitting on the chair without saying anything, the eldest aunt walked up to him and said.
"This is clearly targeted at you, Master. Iron Mountain's private punishment is famous, and that Tie Gang is also famous for being a cruel official. If son-in-law can't resist it, he will be beaten into confessing! What should we do then?"
"Whether he can withstand it or not, he has to pass this test himself.”Qu Zhaoxin finally spoke.
"You mean you want to abandon the Li family?”asked his aunt.
"Don't care about anything. Don't ask anything. Let everyone in Yang Cheng know that this has nothing to do with someone in our district. If you want Iron Mountain to do what he should do, then do it. If you want to kill him, then do it. Don't drag me into this. It's not that easy.”Qu Zhaoxin said as he stood up from his chair.
Aunt Tai sighed." Sigh, I pity our Shuyun. She really has her heart set on this kid."”
"Now, it depends on whether he can withstand the torture tools of the Iron Mountain.”
Tie Shan, who is sitting beside him, looks at him with a smile. He takes out the photo from the leather bag and gives it to him. At the same time, he asks: "Boss Li, do you know the people above?”
Li Yutang looked at it for a long time and said,""Sir, Qin Shaobai, the assassin who tried to assassinate you the other day, and a young man who looks like my son.”
"Haha, they are indeed father and son. Their answers are the same.”Tie Shan takes a sip of tea and says smilingly.
"What a good resemblance. The two of them are not related, but they look more similar than twin brothers. There are really all kinds of strange things in the world.”
Tie Shan walked past the window next to him and opened the wooden window with a 'Hua' sound. He then said to Li Yutang,"Boss Li, come and take a look. Is this the young man who looks like your son?”
"Are you going to confess or not?" Tie Gang asked.
"What do you want me to confess?" Li Chongguang's body was covered in whip wounds, and his clothes were tattered like a beggar. He was tied to the rack and his face was pale. There was no trace of blood in his voice.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
Other than the sound of the whip, Li Chongguang did not make a single sound throughout the entire process.
"I admire you, I admire you. I, Tie Gang, have never met someone as patient as Young Master Li.”
"Haha…"
Li Chongguang smiled because he was exhausted and did not have the strength to speak.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
Li Yutang stood outside the window, listening to the rhythmic sounds coming from the iron door. Looking at his son who was beaten all over but did not make a sound, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by thousands of swords.
From the moment he came here, there were slapping sounds coming from the room. He thought that he was interrogating another prisoner, but he never expected that the prisoner would be his son.
She tried her best to calm herself down and forcefully held back the tears in her eyes.
"Who is this person?" Tie Shan says smilingly while looking at him.
"Sir, you know the answer. Ever since you came to Yang Cheng, you have listened to someone's slander and tried every means to make things difficult for my Li family. Since our father and son have fallen into your hands, you can kill us or cut us up.”Li Yutang said with a straight face.
"When I handle cases, I pay attention to evidence. Did Li Chongguang join the rebel party or not?”Tie Shan asks.
"I don't know?"
After dinner, Qu Zhaoxin lay on Madam Huang's lap and allowed his eldest aunt to dig out his earwax."It's so comfortable to steal half a day of leisure!”
"Master, you have a lot more white hair.”Madam Huang said.
Qu Zhaoxin grabbed his eldest aunt's hand and placed it on his head, saying jokingly,""Come and touch it. Is this head still there?”
"Aiya! You're talking nonsense again." Aunt Tai Jiao rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Qu Zhaoxin continued," Everything is fine as long as her head is still there. How could she care about those few strands of white hair? When Shu Yun's mother was pregnant with her, Master Ma of Cloud Sky Mountain said that she was here to collect debts. As expected, not long after she got off the ground, her mother died.”
After a pause, he continued,"I also relied on the purple evil aura in my life to survive until today and not let her take her life." The key is that when Shuyun grows up, she has to marry the right person. If she doesn't marry well, if she doesn't marry right, my purple aura will be vented! At that time, it will be troublesome."
"Therefore, since she was young, she had been thinking about arranging a proper marriage. However, I didn't expect that she would make such a fuss and that old man Iron Mountain would force her to marry into the Li family. Look at this mess. These days, my heart has been in pain and my eyelids have been twitching nonstop.”
"Master, you're also a scholar who graduated from the imperial examinations. You're a proper scholar. Why do you believe in this?" Misfortune comes with fortune, and fortune comes with misfortune. As the saying goes, good things take time to grind. Even if what Perfected Ma said was true, this Shuyun has tormented you for most of your life. How many evil debts have you owed? You've almost paid them off. Now, we're only left with this trembling.”
She patted Qu Zhaoxin's chest.
"It must be sweet after the bitter end. Didn't this show always end up with a red dress? When the time comes, the man will be the top scholar and the woman will be given an imperial mandate. I think our son-in-law is a person with good fortune.”
"Creation?" Qu Zhaoxin slapped his leg.
