Who Cares - Chapter 190
Zhao Luli rested at home for a day, and the next day brought many valuable gifts to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, which made the elders very happy. After lunch, he was not in a hurry to get value, but took Guan Suyi to go shopping, walking slowly all the way, smiling.
“What on earth do you want to do?” Guan Suyi asked suspiciously.
“I want to treat you well.” Passing by a jade shop, Zhao Luli pulled her in and said in a low voice, “When the chaos is outside, I write a letter to my wife every three days, presumably my wife hasn’t read it. Burn it, right? No matter how madam thinks about my sincerity, you just look at my performance in the future.”
Guan Suyi was silent. Now that she is married to this person, whether he is good or bad, whether he is sincere or fake, she has to bear it, and there is no room for resistance or struggle. Life is always going to pass, even if he has a dead person in his mind, what can she do? The last time he smashed his head but was not punished, but again, there was no such good luck.
Seeing that his wife did not respond, Zhao Luli couldn’t help feeling a little frustrated, and went to hold her hand quietly after entering the store. Guan Suyi struggled a few times, but couldn’t get rid of it, so she had to let him go. The two stepped into the inner hall side by side, and saw a tall, ordinary-looking man of the Jiuli ethnic group staring at them, his eyes exuding a bit of sorrow.
Zhao Luli looked at the other person without a trace, judging that he was extraordinary from his clothes and aura, and led his wife to avoid him in the side hall. This is at the feet of the emperor. He doesn’t want to cause trouble, so he just draws people’s attention. However, he wanted to show weakness, but the other party did not resist, and his eyes grew colder wherever he went and where.
Zhao Luli couldn’t, so he had to pick a piece of mandarin duck and jade pendant of excellent appearance and hand it to the shopkeeper for settlement. This is a three-color jade pendant, with a red beak, yellow wings, and a white belly. The engraving and color matching are very different. The middle live button can be disassembled and divided into two pieces, each with a red tassel. .
Guan Suyi liked it tightly, holding it in his hand and kept playing with it, but he didn’t expect that the Jiuli man suddenly walked up to her, snatched one of them, and said loudly, “Treasurer, how do you sell this jade pendant?”
“Objectively, someone has already bought the jade pendant. If you like it, there are a few pieces in the small store with better color, so let someone show you it?”
“I only need this piece. I will double how much silver he pays.” The Jiuli man has a very tough attitude. The entourage behind him has taken out a thick stack of silver tickets and licked his fingertips to count.
The shopkeeper’s eyes were straight, he looked at the opposite side, then at Zhao Luli, rubbing his hands and chuckling. Zhao Luli has never liked vying with others, but just a piece of jade, so he can’t make trouble, so he took back the bank note and said warmly, “Since this man likes it, let it be given to him. I’ll go to another place to see.”
Guan Suyi had no choice but to put down the mandarin ducks, and left with him, but heard a sarcasm from behind, “Master Zhao Hou is so bold, he can tell the beloved that he saw at first sight, and he can just let it go. If I were you, as long as I like it, let alone buying money from me, I will never compromise even if I put a knife on my neck.”
Zhao Lu paused slightly, then took his wife and walked away quickly. Guan Suyi glanced back, her expression unpredictable. The man of Jiuli ethnic group picked up the jade pendant she had dropped, put it together with the piece in his hand, and looked at it over and over for a long time.

After such an interruption, Zhao Luli lost his playfulness, bought a few sets of noodles for his wife and sent her back to the house, and then went to the Yamen to do the errands. Guan Suyi changed into casual clothes and sat down at the window embroidering in a dispirited way. Hearing that the senior brother was visiting, she went to entertain her with spirits.
This senior was named Qi Yu, and he was awarded the top prize in the imperial examination. He had taught Zhao Wangshu before the champion. Later, the emperor assigned an errand. He got the recommendation of Zhao Luli to find a real job, and he had some friendship with Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Guan Suyi and him grew up together. They were close to each other like brothers and sisters. After they met, they couldn’t help but flushed their eyes. “Brother, you seem to be haggard, but have you ever encountered anything difficult? Why didn’t my sister-in-law come?”
“Your sister-in-law is in the main courtyard to speak with the old lady, and she will be there later. Everything is fine with me, don’t worry.” Qi Yu opened his mouth, as if he hadn’t said enough, but didn’t dare to show it. He inquired carefully about the current situation of his younger sister, and then chatted with her about Confucianism, and finally became very interested, and took them to the study to write couplets.
Seeing that they were quite addicted, Ming Lan went to the dining room to prepare refreshments. On the way, she met a steward and sent her to West Street to buy. She didn’t think much about it, and went with the silver, just letting someone bring a message to the young lady.
Guan Suyi didn’t realize that he had been in the suit, put away the last stroke, and finally took a few steps to take a look at the whole situation. Suddenly, Ding Ling was screaming from outside the door, and then the open window was closed by Qi Yu’s wife Song from the outside, and a copper chain was passed through the hollowed gap and locked together tightly.
When Guan Suyi came back to her senses, she saw the Song clan holding up the key bravely and cursing, “Okay you Guan Suyi, steal my man in broad daylight! If I hadn’t found it early, maybe you even had wild species. Come out! Tell you, I came here deliberately to catch the rape, so I’ll report to the old lady Ming, let her call me the shot!
Guan Suyi and Qi Yu looked at each other, but couldn’t figure out what she was talking about. But this is not important. At the moment they have to find a way to get out of trouble, otherwise, when Song Clan ran to the courtyard and shouted, Qi Yu would lose money at most, but Guan Suyi certainly had no way out.
“I smashed the window open, brother, you go first.” She pushed the door first, and found that it was also locked by the brass lock, so she had to pick up the stool and smash the window. Although the windows are made of wood, they are divided into inner and outer layers. The servants in the yard rushed to watch after hearing the noise, but did not dare to approach, only standing in the distance to point. They were afraid that they would be involved, so Guan Suyi didn’t want to step forward no matter what they called.
Qi Yu has been in officialdom for three years and has seen a lot of private means. Seeing that the younger sister was sweating in a hurry, she quickly stopped and said, “Don’t hit it. It’s hard to tell even if you have a hundred mouths. This is yellow mud falling into your crotch, not **** or shit.”
Guan Suyi calmed down and said dejectedly, “Brother, I am the one who caused you.” She never thought Ye Fan would use such a vicious method to deal with herself.
“Who is involved is not sure!” As if thinking of something, Qi Yu smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
The two sat facing each other, looking desperate. At this moment, a deep and thick voice suddenly came from behind the screen, “It seems that you two need help?”
Qi Yu was startled, but Guan Suyi’s eyes were clear, and he walked around the inner room to take a look, and saw that Emperor Sheng Yuan was holding a cup of hot tea, and the old **** was sitting on the ground in a soft chair.
“When did you come?” Guan Suyi didn’t dare to break the identity of the other party, and hurriedly walked over and knelt down, “Please help brother.” Unless the brother can fly away and disappear from the house for nothing, he is like this today. The filth is absolutely unclean. But the brother is just a mortal, how can such unpredictable martial arts come from? But this person is different. In Wei, there is probably nothing he can’t do.
“Save him, do you think this is over?” Emperor Sheng Yuan put down his teacup and tapped the table lightly, “Today’s game was set up two months ago. Do you think Ye Fan was the one who started it? Wrong? , It’s your good stepdaughter. She noticed that Zhao Luli’s attitude towards you was gentle, lest you give birth to a son, threatening Zhao Wangshu’s status, she had already thought about getting rid of you. You have copied a book of “The Book of Songs” in the past. Many of the love poems in it were collected by your maid, Mingfang, and delivered to Zhao Chunxi. Zhao Chunxi gave it to Ye Fan. Then, after a few words, Ye Fan fell into the trap, bought the Song family, and wanted to kill you. They are here prepared, even if you let Qi Yu go, as long as the Song clan takes out those love poems to prove that you two privately give and receive, you still can’t wash away this filth.”
“The matter is not whether you can get out of this house, but whether Zhao Luli will believe you.” He leaned over, staring at Guan Suyi’s tear-soaked eyes, and asked each word, “You dare to bet Zhao Is Lu Li’s heart? A bet that he will stand firmly in front of you to defend you and block all attacks for you?”
Guan Suyi shook his head, tears finally falling in big drops. Qi Yu’s eyes were flushed, and his face was full of grief and anger.
Emperor Sheng Yuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and continued, “Everyone in Yanjing knows how Zhao Luli treats you. If he learns about this, you will get sick within two days, and finally send it away. After recuperating in the field, he died silently a few years later, without a tomb for burial. This is about the best ending, and there are more tragic ones, either Shentang, or riding a wooden donkey, or even yours. The family will also be retaliated by him.”
After hearing the last sentence, Guan Suyi trembled, took two steps on her knees, and asked in a dumb voice, “Since you are here today, you must have a plan. How can you agree to save us?” She is not stupid, so she is not stupid. I have long felt this person’s growing passion for himself. But the other party didn’t mention a word, and she couldn’t expose it. She only hoped that after Zhao Luli came back, he could slowly calm down due to Gangchang’s ethics, and then forget it.
But things are impermanent, Ye Fan and Zhao Chunxi did not wait for him to forget this beautiful thought. She is already in the trap now, which means that half of her foot has stepped into the ghost gate, and the way out is as he said before, there is only a dead end. That’s it. What she fears the most is to hurt her family. If her grandfather hears about this, will her body break down after he has just recovered? What kind of humiliation will the father and mother suffer? As a result, she didn’t dare to think about it at all. So no matter what conditions this person puts forward, as long as he can solve this deadlock, she has to agree.
Emperor Sheng Yuan gave a short laugh, then took out his handkerchief and slowly wiped the tears off her face, his voice was softer than ever, “Since they have to catch the rape, how about letting me be the adulterer?”
