Chapter 61: Li's Unwillingness (2)
In this matter, Mr. Li sympathized very much with Mrs. Li and her son.
But there was really nothing he could do except sympathize.
At that time, the city lord planned to renew his marriage, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just to renew his incense.
He didn't say that he had to marry a beautiful lady from a famous family. There was only one condition, and that was to be willing.
Although the Li family is not a wealthy family, it is not comparable to ordinary people's families.
There is no way a girl from the Li family would be reduced to being a tool to extend people's incense.
But the third sister was so devoted to the city lord that she even threatened her with death before her father and aunt agreed.
The most elusive thing in the world is emotion.
You may not get anything in return for your efforts, and the more you force yourself to do it, the less you will get.
He had told his third sister this truth many times, but it was a pity that she never listened.
Mr. Li also picked up the wine glass and poured every drop into his mouth. His mouth was full of bitterness.
"Third sister, I have told you many times that the pill is not a magic elixir and has no other effect except detoxification.
If it were given to Feier, it would be of no use to his body at all.
Also, the eldest girl has been tortured by poison since she was a child, and has not even been out of the city lord's mansion a few times.
After all, you are also her stepmother, why bother worrying about this kind of thing?
Besides, the eldest girl is also a kind-hearted child, and she will be kind to Fei'er.
Now that she is married, the city lord's worries have been settled, and from now on he can devote himself to accompanying Fei'er..."
"Haha..." Li's sneer interrupted him.
"Lu Sheng, Third Sister really loves you so much that she refuses to tell the truth.
Chunyu Lan is so weak, how can he keep Fei'er company?"
Mr. Li's patience was worn out by her.
"Third sister, what do you want?"
Mrs. Li wiped her tears again: "What else do you think I want?"
"Third sister, I have followed the city lord for many years and know his character very well.
Although he can't give you affection, he will never shirk his responsibilities.
No matter how weak he is, he will arrange the lives of you mother and son properly and will not let you suffer."
"Is it enough to not endure hardship?" Mrs. Li picked up the wine pot, and the clear wine filled the wine glass, and it quickly overflowed.
The wine flowed down the table legs, but she just stared at the spout with no intention of stopping.
"Third sister, why are you doing this? Ruoshui City is surrounded by three powerful countries and has a very special status. Do you think the city lord is so easy to do?
Let alone Fei'er being frail and sickly, even if he is a healthy child, he may not be able to do the job.
You know how much the city lord loves the eldest girl, if this is really a good job, wouldn't he just pass it on to the eldest girl?"
As soon as Mr. Li let go of his hand, the wine bottle fell directly to the ground.
"Chun Yuyi is a girl and will get married sooner or later. Can she be the same as Fei'er? Isn't that why Chun Yulan renewed their relationship?"
There are some inside stories that Mr. Li really cannot tell to Ms. Li, lest she become even more sad.
He took out the silk handkerchief from his sleeve and walked slowly to Mrs. Li: "Third sister, wouldn't it be good for Fei'er to be a wealthy and idle person? As long as I am here, I will take good care of you mother and son."
Mrs. Li didn't take the silk handkerchief from him, and lay on the table crying.
Mr. Li had no choice but to put the silk handkerchief in her hand.
"Third sister, please calm down and think about it carefully. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
However, the moment he turned around, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.
"You..." His head felt dizzy and he fell to the ground.
Mrs. Li stood up and brushed her sleeves, but there was no trace of sadness on her face.
"You forced me to do this! If we, mother and son, can't survive, then no one can survive!"
She raised her hand and patted it, and the two maids waiting at the door came in.
"Has everything been dealt with?" Li asked.
One of the maids said: "Madam, don't worry, no one knows what happened here."
"Very good." Mrs. Li nodded: "Help me plug his mouth and tie him up with hemp rope."
The two maids, both skilled in martial arts, tied up Mr. Li and threw him into the inner room in a few seconds.
Mrs. Li picked up a cup of cool tea and quickly followed.
She poured the tea directly on Mr. Li's face and patted him on the cheek.
Although the drug Li used was very effective, the dosage was not large, and Mr. Li woke up quickly.
He glared at Mrs. Li angrily and whined.
Mrs. Li found a chair and sat down, looking at him calmly.
"This hemp rope is as thick as a thumb, so Lu Sheng doesn't have to struggle."
Mr. Li whined a few more times.
Li said: "You must think I'm crazy, right? Then I tell you, yes, I am crazy!
You clearly know the reason why Feier is frail and sick, but you have always hidden it from me.
Are you my brother or Chun Yulan's brother?!
I, Fei'er, am the only heir of the Chunyu family, why should I give up my position as city lord to others?
You keep our mother and son safe and let Fei'er live a wealthy and idle life? We don't care!
Chun Yulan doesn't want Fei'er to be the city lord, so we want to show it to him.
If we fail, we will all die together, and no one will be able to feel comfortable!"
Mr. Li looked at her in disbelief.
In his mind, the third sister is a simple-minded woman with a cowardly personality.
I never thought she could have such a terrifying side.
Mrs. Li said coldly: "I originally wanted you to help me, but since you are stubborn, don't blame me for not being affectionate.
Don't think that Shangguan Nanxiao can secure his position as city lord with the support of Chun Yulan and Elder Gongsun.
As long as I come forward to reveal her identity, she will be a complete liar, and you will see how many people will support her!"
Mr. Li was so anxious that he was sweating.
Of course he is not worried about Xiao Bi. With her superb martial arts and the help of the equally powerful Huan Yu, who in Ruoshui City can compete with her?
What's more, she is the sister-in-law of the Emperor of Wei, the granddaughter of Duke Xiao, and the granddaughter-in-law of Duke Huan.
If someone really touched her hair, would Ruoshui City still exist?
By the way, he also forgot one thing.
Huan Yu's identity is not simple. If he touches the young couple, the Emperor of Jin will not let Ruoshui City go.
This stupid woman really wants to drag everyone to death!
Seeing that he was sweating profusely from anxiety, Mrs. Li burst into laughter.
"Lu Sheng, you have not been close to your family since you were a child. You have always had a straight face at such a young age. This is the first time I have seen you look so anxious!
Don't worry, you are unkind, but I cannot be unjust.
When I, Fei'er, take the position of city lord, I will still need support from you, my biological uncle.
You have always been smart and should know how to choose the most beneficial one."
She said to the two maids: "You two stay here and be sure to keep an eye on him."
