Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 632
Stepping into the threshold of the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Daoyun's legs trembled slightly.

With this step, she finally crossed a class.

Even though there was no ceremony, no guests, and even her husband Li Siwen never personally welcomed her in, Zhao Daoyun was still very excited.

This step has fulfilled the wish of many generations of ancestors.

She is very clear about her identity, a concubine is a concubine, the treatment and ceremony must not be comparable to that of the main wife, and she cannot even have thoughts.

The siblings had just entered the Duke's Mansion, but Li Qinzai happened to be walking from the courtyard towards the door, and the two met inside the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

When Li Qinzai saw her and Zhao Daosheng, he couldn't help but pause, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

Zhao Daoyun lowered his head and gave a salute: "I've seen Marquis Li."

Li Qinzai sighed secretly, although he deliberately concealed it, she still came after all.

"Mianli, I told you, just call me Biaozi Jingchu." Li Qinzai smiled.

Zhao Daoyun explained with some unease: "My slave... a lowly daughter, I dare not take the liberty to come to the house. Today, Governor Li sent someone to bring our siblings here..."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's okay, once you enter the door, you will be a family, and we will get along well in the future."

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai glanced at Zhao Daosheng again, and said with a smile: "There are many rules in the house, so learn more."

Zhao Daosheng understood that Li Qinzai was warning him implicitly, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Li County, I know the crime, and I will never do it again."

Li Qinzai hummed, and ordered his servants to take them to see Li Siwen.

The siblings left and walked to the backyard.

The housekeeper Wu Tong came up to him, smiling all over his face, his expression and attitude were much more affectionate than those he had just dealt with the siblings.

"Wu Shaolang wants to go out? This old man will prepare a carriage for you."

Li Qinzai shook his head, looked in the direction where the siblings disappeared, and said, "Did my father send someone to pick them up today?"

Wu Tongdao: "Yes, Erlang personally ordered, and the old man sent his servants to pick them up at the post."

Li Qinzai said with a half smile but not a smile: "We have a new family member in our house. Congratulations."

Wu Tong curled his lips and said: "Forgive me for talking too much, my concubine...is not a family member. This woman is not very old, but she has a lot of eyes. Wu Shaolang, please be careful."

Li Qinzai glanced at Wu Tong in surprise, his age is not in vain, the old man's tricks are very bright.

"With me here, she can't turn the tide. I'm afraid that my father will not live up to him and be fascinated by the beauty." Li Qinzai sighed worriedly, and said: "It's a lot of age, and such a young person, the old waist can Can you bear it? I'm not afraid of the wind..."

Wu Tong laughed twice and dared not answer.

…………

When Zhao Daoyun and his brother entered the door, Li Qinzai's joyful mood of welcoming the new year was inexplicably added to the blockage.

Although there is no ceremony for entering the concubine's room, family members still need to get to know each other.

After Zhao Daoyun paid a visit to Li Siwen and Li Cui's family, Li Siwen immediately took her into the study in the backyard to meet Li Ji.

Standing in front of this world-renowned veteran, Li Ji just glanced at her lightly, and Zhao Daoyun felt chills all over his body, as if being stared at by a fierce tiger, his hair standing on end.

Regarding Li Siwen's taking a concubine, Li Ji didn't say much, he just warned him to live a good life, and the Duke's mansion has its own rules in words and deeds, which should not be violated lightly.

Then Li Ji waved them out.

Next, Li Siwen asked Li Qinzai and Zhao Daoyun to meet formally.

Li Qinzai was still very polite, he saluted when he should, with a smile on his face forever, and expressed his welcome to Zhao Daoyun's arrival.

The etiquette was impeccable, but Li Qinzai turned around and found Li Cuishi.

"Mother, what do you mean? Why did you allow father to take a concubine?"

Everyone came in, so Li Qinzai didn't hide anything, and simply asked each other directly.

Mrs. Li Cui was still doing her embroidery work, her face showed no joy or anger, she just said indifferently: "The pair of siblings are also poor people. Their mother died early, and their father fell off a cliff when he went up the mountain to collect medicine. The messy relatives tried to carve up their parents' inheritance, but the siblings refused, so they sued the governor's office."

"The case is very simple. Even if your father is sentenced, the relative who took the lead in fighting for the family property will have twenty sticks, and the family property will belong to the siblings. Zhao Daoyun thanked your father afterwards, but suddenly knelt down in front of your father and said bluntly that his parents are dead. My younger brother is young, and the family has no backbone, so I would like to marry your father as a concubine..."

Li Cuishi sighed, and said: "The child knelt in front of your father and cried miserably. Her forehead was cut and shed a lot of blood. Your father refused, so she kept kneeling and passed out twice. He still gritted his teeth and refused to leave."

"Your father is twenty years older than her. He didn't want to agree at first. I saw that girl was pitiful. Besides, your father is busy with business and often stays up late at work. He really needs someone who grinds ink and makes the bed to serve him, so I agreed on behalf of your father."

Li Qinzai was a little surprised that this marriage was actually agreed by his wife.

Thinking about it, how could my father take the initiative to take a concubine with his courage? Isn't he afraid that my mother will tear him down alive?
"A great woman, a heroic mother!" Li Qinzai praised admiringly.

Li Cuishi glared at him, and said: "You are so yin and yang, be careful, I will slap you!"

"Mother, don't you feel jealous when you take the initiative to take a concubine for the person next to you?"

Li Cuishi sighed, and said: "I'm getting old, but I still feel uncomfortable after all, but your father came from a general family, and I came from a family. The higher the family, the more compromises there are."

"All these years, your father has been the only wife of mine. There are a lot of gossips in Chang'an City. Lin Lao gave him a concubine, so I can save myself listening to those noble ladies gossiping."

Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "Mother, if you feel uncomfortable, my son has a way to make Zhao Daoyun disappear into this world without anyone noticing."

Li Cuishi was startled, and punched him hard, and said: "You have been on the battlefield, and the murderous intent is so strong. Your father's concubine is also your elder, and they are already a family. How can you kill your family?" ? Damn stuff, don’t mention it in the future!”

Li Qinzai smiled indifferently.

Li Cui glanced at him, and said again: "I listened to the family song, when you were in Tuyuhun, you had a story with a girl with purple pupils? I also heard that the girl was the princess of Loulan Kingdom?"

Li Qinzai grinned and said, "Mother's news is really well-informed, don't you keep your ears open every day, lying on the wall and listening to people gossip?"

Li Cui laughed angrily, and punched him again.

"Qinzai, you are now prosperous and more promising than your father. It stands to reason that if you want to take a concubine, you have nothing to do, and the imperial court will give your concubine a salary."

"But if you really have this intention, you should also tell Jie'er well, don't let her hurt her heart, and don't just listen to the laughter of the newcomer and ignore the cry of the old one. This is not what men do, and you should be ashamed of it."

Li Qinzai only should be.

In the end, I couldn't help asking: "Zhao Daoyun entered the door today, mother really doesn't plan to do something? Can't you light a firecracker on father and her bed? You are the main wife, you must show your authority."

Li Cui scolded with a smile: "It's not enough for the principal to light firecrackers on the concubine's bed. Isn't your father scared to death?"
