Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 394
Kaifeng, Chenliu.

In the village of the Liu family, Zhao Qikun was writing, and was about to dip his sleeves into the ink again, but found that the ink had run out. He coughed heavily, but no one came in to serve him.

Zhao Qikun frowned. Recently, the Liu family has become more and more indifferent to him. Yesterday, there was no paper at home, so he couldn't write a word for a whole day.This has never happened before. You must know that after he married Yang, no matter how poor his family was, Yang would not stop his pen and ink.

As long as he wants to buy books, Mrs. Yang can always come up with silver coins. The money bag tied around her waist seems to have countless silver coins. Although they are all copper coins, he doesn't think much of them, but... used in She doesn't feel sorry for him.Of course, this is only Yang's only benefit.

Zhao Qikun sighed, he was worthy of the Yang family, he had been a farmer with her for so many years, and left a few sons to support her until his death. When the Yang family rescued him before, they probably didn't expect to get such a return.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qikun was about to go to the main house to take a rest, he tapped his back lightly, how many months has it been?The errand promised by the Liu family has not yet arrived, and I don't know if something went wrong in the middle. Obviously, when he had a banquet with the magistrate, the lord appreciated his literary talent very much.

Zhao Qikun walked slowly towards the main house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Liu Shi's charming smile from inside the room, Zhao Qikun frowned slightly, why didn't Liu Shi go to his study when he was at home?Just as he was thinking about it, there was a faint voice.

"I don't know why he refused to give the job, maybe he thinks his articles are not good enough."

"I thought I found a good son of an official, but I didn't expect it to be fancy but not useful."

Zhao Qikun's heart sank inexplicably, Liu Shi was obviously talking about him, with contempt in every sentence, as if he looked down on him at all.When he was angry, he was about to explode, but remembering that this was not the farmer's house in the past, and every brick and tile was given by the Liu family, he managed to suppress his anger, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard another man's voice.

"Auntie might as well follow me..."

"Don't lie to me. If your family agrees, why do I have to go through this journey?"

The blood all over Zhao Qikun rushed to the top of the sky, as if he was about to overturn his head. There was actually a man in Liu's house. Zhao Qikun never thought that such a thing would happen. After looking for it, I finally saw a wooden stick, picked it up and walked towards the main house.

Angrily opened the curtain, he wants to see the adulterer and adulteress today and uncover their shame, Zhao Qikun thought so, and the anger also came along the voice: "What a shameless thing."

While talking, Zhao Qikun had already entered the room, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Shi and a man sitting next to each other. The two seemed to be holding hands, and they hurriedly let go when they heard the movement.

Zhao Qikun had never been wronged like this before, he just felt that the Zhao family he supported so hard would collapse all of a sudden, he had to get back his face, teach this woman a lesson, make her kneel down and beg for mercy, let the Liu family come to justice He pleaded guilty and wanted to beat the adulterer half to death, at least half to death.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qikun raised the wooden stick in his hand high and hit Liu Shi. He seemed to have heard Liu Shi's screams.

But... the stick suddenly sank and did not fall, a strong force came from the other end of the stick, which hurt Zhao Qikun's tiger's mouth.

The man next to Liu's stood up "suddenly", and before Zhao Qikun could speak, he snatched the stick away. Zhao Qikun was caught off guard and fell forward. He raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach. Zhao Qikun fell to the ground and even slipped a certain distance.

All this happened extremely quickly, and Zhao Qikun hadn't recovered from the pain when he curled up into a ball.It wasn't until he took a breath that he raised his tearful eyes and looked at Liu Shi and the man.

"You..." Zhao Qikun trembled, "You...how dare..."

Liu's eyebrows were raised: "What's wrong with us? This is my nephew from my mother's house. He can't be considered a cousin. We can't talk together?"

"You are a scholar, but you have a dirty mind. You beat us without saying a word. How can you have face if you say it? My nephew stopped you for your own good. You must know that you are a stick Hit it down..."

There was a fierce look on Liu's face: "How could the Liu family forgive you? Don't forget who you eat and live in. If it weren't for your aunt, you would be worse than those beggars at the bottom of the city wall."

As Liu said, she took a few steps forward and spat on Zhao Qikun's face: "Grandma can take a fancy to you, you have to be lucky, a worthless guy who doesn't earn a penny, and wants to make trouble at home?"

Mrs. Liu looked at the man beside her: "My mother's family is here, you dare to do something, why do I have a crush on a beast like you."

Zhao Qikun heard Liu's confusion of right and wrong, his lips trembling with anger: "I didn't give you a betrothal gift? Didn't all the money I brought was spent on you?"

"How much money?" Liu said, "I can't even afford a house, and there is not even an acre of land. I am ashamed to say that your dowry, even if you have it, is eaten by you and your son's family."

Zhao Qikun said: "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Xuewen also heard the commotion in the main house, hurried to check the situation, heard his father's voice, and immediately entered the door.Zhao Xuewen saw his father lying on the ground at a glance, and Liu Shi pointed at his father with a handkerchief and insulted him.

Zhao Xuewen hurriedly said: "Father, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "Ask your father, I talked to my natal nephew and he came in and beat me. Is it easy for me to manage the outside of the house every day? How can I let him be humiliated like this?"

Zhao Xuewen looked at the man next to him. He knew that this man often came to Liu's house, but he didn't dare to say anything. They were under the eaves of Liu's house, and they really started to quarrel. Where would their father and son settle down? ?If he doesn't pass the exam this year, he still counts on the Liu family to help him find an errand for him.

"Father," Zhao Xuewen thought of this and said, "You have wronged mother. This is really mother's nephew. My son has seen it before."

Zhao Qikun grabbed Zhao Xuewen, and wanted his son to take the blame for him, but he didn't expect Zhao Xuewen to say this, he opened his eyes wide.

Zhao Xuewen looked natural: "It's true, Dad, can my son still lie to you?"

There was a sneering smile on the man's face: "What should we do about this matter? Not to mention insulting my aunt, and even hurting me, what are you father and son going to do?"

Zhao Qikun felt as if a boulder had been crushed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a moment: "You..." He pointed at Liu Shi, then at the man, and finally looked at Zhao Xuewen.

Zhao Xuewen bit his head and said: "Father, my son will apologize to your mother and Liu family brother on your behalf. You must not be so reckless in the future. It is not easy for mother to manage the house, so you have to take good care of it."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xuewen knelt down to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, it's all the fault of the father and son. Don't get angry and take care of yourself."

Normally, Zhao Xuewen might still fight, but now he can't. He just heard the news from the academy that the imperial court in Taozhou was defeated. The only one he can rely on is the Liu family.
