After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 44

"Why else? Isn't it just to use it to deal with Han Shoufu?" Lian Qiuzhi seemed unwilling to say more, "Just remember, the decree of resurrection will come at any time, as soon as one or two months, or as slowly as half a year, when the time comes your second uncle Not only will the Hui Guan be reinstated, he may even be promoted to another level. So at this critical moment, please be more honest and don’t provoke the Fang family! If this delays the recovery of our Xu family, I will definitely kick you out of the Xu family. !”

Xu Zhenying looked horrified, "I understand."

She smiled again and looked Lian Qiuzhi up and down, "No wonder, in prison, the Lian family's grandfather forced the second aunt to reconcile and avoid the pain of exile, but the second aunt refused to do it. It turned out that she had long expected that the second uncle would rise to the top. , act like you will never give up!"

"Presumptuous! How can it be your turn to comment on the elders' affairs?!" Lian Qiuzhi looked a little embarrassed and said angrily, "You have really rebelled against heaven. If you dare to say one more word, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" "

"Second Aunt, I was wrong. How could I dare? It's too late for me to be happy now." Xu Zhenying smiled and shook Lian's arm, acting like a little daughter coquettishly, "When we return to Bianjing City, we must take care of ourselves. Then Liu Jiejie, let him snatch our things, I will make this gang of guardsmen worse than death!"

"Nonsense! The guards are just following orders, so Liu Jiejie deserves to die, but Team Leader Zhao has never felt sorry for us, so why should we bother them? Your mouth tells you to be careful about your words and actions - "

"Okay, okay..." Xu Zhenying interrupted her impatiently, "Second aunt, don't worry, God knows that you know and I know about this, and I will never tell anyone!"

"As long as you know!"

Xu Zhenying held Lian Qiuzhi's arm affectionately and walked back quickly. It wasn't until they were far away that Lian Qiuzhi dared to squint at the figure hiding behind the tree, and said to Xu Zhenying with a little fear: "You said...he Do you believe what we just said?"

Xu Zhenying calmed down her expression and instantly let go of Lian Qiuzhi. There was no longer the closeness on her face. She raised her hands to tuck her hair and said, "Definitely. After all, I would rather believe it than believe it." Bantou Zhao is very cautious and would never dare to take the risk of offending an official of the imperial court."

Lian Qiuzhi was still worried, "But what if he sends someone to investigate?"

Xu Zhenying glanced at Lian Qiuzhi with a smile but not a smile, "Check, how to check? We are now so far away from Bianjing City, how can he check, who should be sent to check? The dispatchers here are all temporary teams and do not trust each other. , such matters must be left to his confidants before he can rest assured. Who can he turn to? Furthermore, what we have made up involves the secrets of the top officials of the Zhou Dynasty. How can he verify the lies we have made up if he can find out the secrets? Leader Zhao will definitely want to understand this. Instead of spending great efforts to verify whether what we said is true or false, it is better to pretend not to know and take more care of us along the way, and quietly let our Xu family appreciate his kindness. This is the safest way. .”

Even though Lian Qiuzhi could think of this, but after all he said those words of Uncle Zhu Guo in random, he was still very scared. He raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhenying, and saw that the man was calm and composed, his eyes were clear, and there was no trace of fear.

In a daze, she seemed to feel that Xu Qingying's expression was somewhat familiar.

Lian Qiuzhi was stunned, her heart skipped a few beats, and she remembered——

Xu Qingying looked very much like her father at this moment.

Calm and calm, he was strategizing. In an instant, the rafts and oars were annihilated by flying ashes, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, without changing his expression.

"Second Aunt, don't be afraid." There was a wave of heat on his arm, and when he met those indifferent and calm black and white eyes, Xu Zhenying smiled faintly, "I have done everything, just waiting for the results. If there are any consequences, I will bear them."

Lian Qiuzhiqian laughed twice and covered her chest. She felt that she must be confused. She actually felt that Uncle Zhu Guo, who covered the sky with one hand, was not as scary as this dead girl in front of her.

Crazy crazy, really crazy.

At this moment, on the other side of the hillside, Xu Lezhi was closely following Fang Xun, the eldest son of the second room of the Fang family.Fang Xun was not tall, but he walked very fast. There was wind under his feet, so Xu Lezhi did not dare to call his name loudly, but only dared to follow quietly and quickly.

Xu Lezhi walked such a long way during the day, and now every step she took was like stepping on the tip of a knife. She was angry and anxious, and couldn't help complaining about Fang Xun in her heart. She even lowered her body to approach Fang Xun. , how could Fang Xun be like a lump of wood? If not for the possibility of the Fang family revolt, she would have looked down on Fang Xun, who was short, skinny and like a bamboo pole.

Her ideal person needs to be tall, tall, handsome and extraordinary, preferably from a clean and simple family, rich and powerful, and he must love her, respect her, and hold her in the palm of his hand.

Fang Xun can only be regarded as her retreat.

It would be best to ask Fang Xun to let the Fang family accept her as their adopted daughter, so that she doesn't have to marry him and can take the opportunity to get rid of her status as an exiled prisoner.

Thinking of this, Xu Lezhi felt happy, and it didn't hurt as much when he walked.

She quickly followed Fang Xun and walked across a small hillside. She saw that she was getting further and further away from the inn. There were no lights but only moonlight. Everything in the mountain and forest was silent except for the sound of wind.

She was a little scared, but she was also curious about why Fang Xun came so far away. Just as she was thinking about whether to go back or not, she suddenly looked around and saw two figures.

Under the tree not far away, there was a man and a woman. The shorter one was Fang Xun. The woman opposite looked familiar. Xu Lezhi thought she was the eldest daughter of Li Xiucai's family.

The two people were very close to each other, as if their figures were close to each other.

Xu Lezhi was instantly furious, as if what she liked had been taken away. She rushed over aggressively, only to see Li Zhaodi lying on the ground holding her feet. She seemed to have a sprain, and her face was in pain. There were more than a dozen wild animals scattered around. fruit.

Xu Lezhi was so angry that he said, "Li Zhaodi didn't fall sooner or later, but she fell on the road where Fang Xun was passing by." !

Fang Xun hesitated for a moment. Seeing no one around, he finally couldn't bear it. Just as he was about to go up and help him up, he saw someone suddenly pass by him. He saw a slightly chubby face with round eyes and very white skin. , looks young.

She seems to be a girl from the Xu family.

The girl was smiling, but she stood between the two of them forcefully and asked, "Brother Fang Xun, what's going on?"

Fang Xun raised his hands and saluted: "Sister Xu, I just passed by here and saw this girl fell. You came just in time. Help me to help her. As a man, it is really inconvenient for me." "I see. ." Xu Lezhi turned around and glared at Li Zhaodi, who was so frightened that Li Zhaodi trembled and said quickly, "I'm fine, I just didn't see the stone on the ground and twisted my foot. Thank you to this young man, and thank you to this girl."

After that, Li Zhaodi stood up with difficulty, and Fang Xun immediately bent down to help her pick up the fruit. Xu Lezhi rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that Li Zhaodi had so many tricks up his sleeve and was indeed a good seduce man.

She couldn't bear it and just bent down to pick up the fruits together, but she said with concern on her face: "Miss Li, you have to be more careful. There may be ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests nearby. How can your family let you come out alone?"

"I...I..." Li Zhaodi couldn't avoid it, as if she was a little afraid of Xu Lezhi, biting her lips and said, "My sister is still young, and my family doesn't have enough food. My father asked me to pick more fruits to prevent my brother from starving tomorrow - "

"Your father is really cruel -" Xu Lezhi looked concerned, and then secretly used force to lift Li Zhaodi up without any explanation. The other party asked, "Mr. Fang, I will send Miss Li back. If she is Those who don't know about it may think that Miss Li is deliberately seducing you when they see you alone together, or that you deliberately made an appointment here. If such rumors spread, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the girl's family. "

Li Zhaodi was so frightened that she almost shed tears. She waved her hands quickly, "I didn't..."

Fang Xun was also frightened. He seemed to realize the consequences now. His childish face was full of nervousness, "No way, Miss Li and I just met by chance. If that's the case, why bother Xu?" The girl must testify for the two of me——"

Seeing that the purpose of intimidation was achieved, Xu Lezhi immediately comforted the two of them and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell nonsense. If anyone asks, I will only say that the three of us are together. Next time if we meet Mr. Fang again, , just call me to help—"

The two people burst into tears of gratitude, and even Fang Xun was afraid and said: "It's really troublesome for Miss Xu. Miss Xu is so kind, Fang Xun will remember it in his heart."

Xu Lezhi smiled sweetly at Fang Xun, thinking that his response should be remembered by Fang Xun, feeling proud, and then helped Li Zhaodi walk to the camp.

Li Zhaodi secretly hated herself for being useless. She could still fall when picking fruits, and she believed Xu Lezhi's words. She was afraid that she and Mr. Fang would be seen. If this was the case, her father would beat her if she didn't harm Mr. Fang. die.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She didn't notice that Xu Lezhi was walking very fast. When she reached an open space, a strong force came from her waist. She staggered, and her whole body flew out instantly and fell into the thorn bushes beside the road. inside.

There were barbs everywhere in the thorn bush. Li Zhaodi said "Ah", and then she touched her face and found a cut on her face by the barbs, which was bleeding trickling out.

She tried to get up, but as soon as she pushed her hand hard, the barb pierced into her palm, and she felt pain again.

Xu Lezhi looked down at her condescendingly, with no trace of the warmth on his face just now, and looked at her coldly, "I'm warning you, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to seduce Young Master Fang? Bah, no matter who you are, the daughter of a scholar dares to steal things from me, Xu Lezhi?!"

Li Zhaodi trembled with fright, tears instantly flowed out, and she said: "Miss Xu, you misunderstood, I really just happened to meet Mr. Fang——"

"Meet by chance? Are you lying?" Xu Lezhi smiled coldly, "Are you thinking that the Fang family will rise in the future, so you can't wait to show your courtesy? You don't learn well at a young age, and you don't know what you are. , what kind of thing does Young Master Fang have never seen before, would he like a yellow-haired girl like you? If I see you flirting with Young Master Fang again next time, I will tell everyone that you tried to seduce Young Master Fang, and see if your father beats you to death, you slut. !”

Li Zhaodi didn't dare to resist. She just felt extremely scared and evadedly said: "I understand. I will never dare to talk to Mr. Fang again..."

Xu Lezhi finished these words sternly, and then walked away.

At the end, he looked back at Li Zhaodi who was lying in the bushes and trying to get up.

Li Zhaodi's face was bloody and had a small cut. Xu Lezhi was still a little guilty and scared. What if Li Zhaodi showed up and came to cause trouble for her?

But then I thought, if Li Zhaodi’s father doesn’t love her mother, who will make the decision for her?
Thinking of this, Xu Lezhi felt refreshed and went back humming a little tune.

Li Zhaodi got up with great difficulty. She had no time to clean up her expression, so she knelt down to pick up the wild fruits that fell on the ground. She wiped away her tears in frustration and muttered: "It's over, it's over. If I don’t have twenty fruits, dad will scold me to death.”

When the wind blew in the forest, Li Zhaodi was wearing only that single piece of clothing. The clothes were extremely dirty and she was shaking from the cold. She sniffed and carefully avoided the thorn bushes to pick up the scattered fruits.

If I miss the time, I'm afraid my father will be angry.

Li Zhaodi endured the severe pain, holding a bag of fruits in her hand, and staggered toward the inn.

Mrs. Cao selected a few rotten fruits and left a few plump fresh fruits. She seemed not to notice the wounds on her face at all, and only ordered: "Send these to your father and mother."

Li Zhaodi responded and sent the remaining fruits to the donkey cart. The concubine of the Li family, Aunt Hu, was lying on the donkey cart. Seeing that Li Zhaodi was walking with a limp, the boss said unhappily: "You are so slow." Why are you lingering? You're not pretending to be sick, are you? Move quickly and make the bed, your brother is going to sleep."

Aunt Hu disliked the smell of Datongpu and the large number of people in the inn, so she insisted on sleeping on the donkey cart. Fortunately, the temperature was not very low recently, so she dragged the donkey cart to the eaves of the backyard and spread the sheets on it, turning it into a simple bed. .

Li Zhaodi wiped the blood on her face and quickly handed over the fruit. Aunt Hu was still dissatisfied with picking and choosing: "I eat these things every day, and my mouth is full-"

Li Xiucai on the side seemed to be in a bad mood, and he no longer loved Aunt Hu as before. He said in a rough voice: "Come on, it would be nice to have some to eat. When we get the 20 taels of silver, we will go to the inn." What a delicious meal.”

When Li Xiucai saw Li Zhaodi dodging, he glared displeasedly. Then he saw the wounds on her face, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Li Zhaodi lowered her head and said angrily: "I accidentally fell when I was picking fruits just now——"

"You're so stupid. You can't do such a small thing well..." Li Xiucai had a bad fight with Xu Deyuan just now. If it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Lian, he wouldn't even give him five days. Xu Deyuan is still a fifth-rank official. He is so picky about things that he even dislikes Li Zhaodi, who is friends with the Xu family girl. "A girl's face is the most precious. How can you get married after losing your appearance?" Under these conditions, don’t expect me to find a doctor for you... You are so old... You should also know how to be grateful, and remember not to cause trouble for your parents..."
