0309 Despicable villain

Li Zhen said goodbye and left. Mrs. Di asked Di Yan to go back to her room, and only Zhang and the old lady were left in the inner hall.

"What do you think of this young man?" Mrs. Di asked with a smile.

Zhang smiled and said, "Reporting to his mother, thanks him for being pretty good. He is handsome and smart. He doesn't know what kind of character he is?"

"This young man is very generous. I have dealt with him many times and have also inquired secretly. I believe his character is fine."

Zhang nodded silently. The person who can confront Lai Junchen should not be a tit-for-tat minister. She sighed and said, "But the master has to decide on this matter. Although I am very satisfied, I can't make the decision."

"I'll just make the decision on this matter."

The old lady was a little unhappy and said, "I don't know how many people want to rush to recruit him as their son-in-law. You hesitate so much that you have been snatched away long ago. Fortunately, he and A Yan have a good relationship, otherwise they would have disappeared."

Zhang smiled bitterly. She knew the old lady's temper, but this matter must be approved by her husband. How could the children talk about marriage and their father didn't know anything about it.

Since Lai Junchen was executed, Li Zhen moved back to his mansion. His eldest sister Li Quan and his daughter also returned from Mingxiu Villa. The deserted home returned to its former liveliness. When the drums sounded closing the gate of the yard, Li Zhen rode into the gate of Fushanfang.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Butler Lin ran out in a panic, "Young Master, you are back, Madam... Go out of the city."

Li Zhen was stunned. Why did the eldest sister leave the city so late? Seeing that the butler was quite panicked, he asked, "What happened?"

"The master came back in the afternoon and said a few words to his wife, but the two started arguing. The wife cried for an afternoon. The owner Zhao just accompanied her out of the city."

Li Zhen probably understood what Uncle Lin meant. His brother-in-law Cao Wen came back and had a fight with his eldest sister. Zhao Qiuniang accompanied his eldest sister out of the city. But the question is, where did they go out of the city? He frowned, "Did the eldest sister leave me a note?"

"No note left, but the lady said that if you can come back in time, you can go to Longmen Town to find her."

Hearing the words "Longmen Town, three words, Li Zhen immediately understood and immediately turned over and said, "I'll go find her now."

He urged his war horse and ran towards the Houzai Gate.

As early as half a year ago, Li Zhen learned from Zhao Qiuniang that his brother-in-law Cao Wen had a small house in Longmen Town. In fact, last autumn, Cao Wen rented a small house in Longmen Town to live with his original maid Lian'er. Since the affair between Cao Wen and Lian'er was broken by Li Zhen, he admitted his mistake on the surface and promised to send Lian'er back to his relative's house in Hanzhong, but in fact, Lian'er has been in Luoyang.

As for whether Cao Wen continued to have an affair with Lian'er or planned to marry her as a concubine, Li Zhen no longer cared about it. He saw through Cao Wen's character and was really a shameless villain with a deep sense of cleverness.

This person can share hardships, but not wealth and honor. He looks honest and honest, but once he passes the imperial examination or has a backer, his ugly face is immediately exposed. Li Zhenzhen feels not worth it for his eldest sister and actually marrys such a hypocritical and despicable villain.

Li Zhen left the city gate and continued to run south along the official road. Although he left Luoyang City, there were still many shops on both sides of the official road, and the business was prosperous and very lively. After about ten miles, he arrived at Longmen Town.

There are about hundreds of families in Longmen Town, which is a very prosperous town. Li Zhen remembers Zhao Qiuniang told him that the house that Cao Wen rented was located at the east end of the town. Li Zhen urged the horse to come to the east entrance of the town. Under the bright moonlight, he saw Zhao Qiuniang's two female apprentices, one named Yu Huiwen and the other named Shang Min'er. They were holding the horse, looking deep and long necks into an open door.

"You two"

Li Zhen shouted, and the two female disciples turned around and saw that it was Li Zhen, and they were both surprised and happy. They hurriedly stepped forward to surround Li Zhen and said, "Commander Li is finally here, go and see Sister Quan."

"Where are they?"

Shang Min'er pointed to the open door and whispered: "I just quarreled for a while, and I still heard Sister Quan's crying."

Li Zhen was very anxious and threw the reins of the horse to them, "Look at the horse for me."

He strode into the courtyard gate. This was a small house with a very compact layout. The entrance was a small courtyard with a living room in the middle, on both sides were the kitchen and the servant's room, and behind was the inner courtyard where the owner lived. There were only five or six houses, covering about half an acre.

A little maid squatted in the yard, as if she was scared and hid in the corner. There was a trace of light in the main hall, but the light came from the backyard. Li Zhen walked through a small door and came to the backyard. He saw that the lights were brightly lit in the back hall, and there were three or four people inside. A man in an official uniform was full of anger and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back. It was Cao Wen, who had been the county magistrate for half a year.

Next to her was an old woman with bright clothes, with a thin bitter melon face. She was the eldest sister's mother-in-law, who had always hated her Meng family. She was muttering and scolding her son. She vaguely heard words like "Crazy," and so on.

There was a young woman sitting next to her. Li Zhen thought she was the eldest sister Li Quan. After looking closely, she didn't look like her eldest sister. She was taller than her eldest sister. She had a thin and long water snake waist. She wore a bright red dress and her hair was combed in a high bun.

Li Zhen immediately recognized the woman. It was Lian'er, the maid whom the eldest sister kindly took in. At this time, she was dressed gorgeously and covered with pearls and jade, like a noble lady. What surprised Li Zhen even more was that she seemed to be holding a swaddle in her hand.

However, there was no eldest sister and Zhao Qiuniang in the inner hall. Li Zhen looked around and saw that the lights were on in a room next to him. He quickly walked to the front of the house and gently pushed open the door.

The eldest sister Li Quan and Zhao Qiuniang were indeed here. Li Quan sat on a Hu chair, lowering his head to wipe his tears and cried. Zhao Qiuniang whispered to her in a low voice.

Li Quan felt something. When she turned around and saw that it was the brother who came, she immediately cried again, stood up and threw herself into Li Zhen's arms. Li Zhen quickly comforted her eldest sister, helped her sit down, and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Li Quan just cried but didn't say anything. Zhao Qiuniang sighed and said, "Cao Wen came back the day before yesterday. I came to find your eldest sister this afternoon and told her that he had married Lian'er as a fair wife in the county and had a son."

"Did he deliberately make his elder sister accept her?" Li Zhen asked coldly.

“Not that simple”

Zhao Qiuniang said angrily: "I have never seen such a ruthless and unrighteous man. He asked your eldest sister to call Lian'er as sister, that is, let your eldest sister be a concubine and that woman is a wife because the woman gave birth to a son and the mother would be noble."

"What"

Li Zhen was furious and turned around and walked towards the next door. Li Quan was anxious and stood up and grabbed Li Zhen's arm, "A Zhen, don't go."

"Sister, let me go and see how I killed this dog thief today"

Seeing that Li Quan couldn't hold his brother, he immediately started crying again, "He is a heartless bastard, he deserves to die, but you are my brother, you can't kill anyone."

Zhao Qiuniang also hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Zhen, "A Zhen, this is a housework, please calm down."

Li Zhen restrained his anger and said, "If I don't kill him, I will go to argue with him. I don't believe that he, a dignified court official, dares to abandon his wife?"

At this time, Cao Wen's voice came from outside the door, "I didn't think about abandoning your eldest sister, I just talk about the matter."

Li Zhen broke free from his eldest sister and Zhao Qiuniang and walked out of the room quickly. Cao Wen was standing in the yard. The inner door had been closed. It was obvious that Cao Wen found that Li Zhen was coming. He was afraid that Li Zhen would use force to Lian'er, so he came out to find him first.

Li Zhen was so angry that he laughed, "What does it mean to be a matter of fact? This is the first time I heard that County Magistrate Cao might as well say it and let me see how despicable you are?"

Cao Wen's face turned red and white. He seemed a little afraid of Li Zhen. He stepped back and said, "There are three unfilial things. No queen is the greatest. I have been married to your eldest sister for so many years, but she has never had children. I thought it was my problem, so I accepted my fate. But the facts prove that I can have a son, and I have now had a son, so I named Cao Liangsi. Do you want my only son to be a concubine?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said coldly: "There are many precedents of this kind of thing and it is easy to solve. Leave the child to my eldest sister. My eldest sister is the child's mother and he is the legitimate son. Isn't this how other families solve it?"

"Nonsense"

Cao Wen's face turned pale and gritted his teeth, "My son's biological mother is clearly here, why should she deprive her son? I have decided that your eldest sister has no queen. I don't think she has to give up on her for many years of love, but she can only be a concubine and Lian'er is the main wife. If she doesn't, then this marriage will end."

Li Zhen sneered, "Cao Wen, your thoughts can only deceive my eldest sister. How can you hide them from me? You had been deliberately trying to divorce my eldest sister before the imperial examination, but you were afraid of losing the reputation of despising your wife, so you endured for half a year and found a son as an excuse. Is that really your son? I don't think so, Cao Wen, you know it yourself."

Cao Wen was so shocked that he took a few steps back and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking nonsense?"

Li Zhen's eyes showed extreme disgust and shook his head and said, "Becoming Wu Sansi's son-in-law must have a bright future. I, a businesswoman, cannot be worthy of you, and it will delay your future, right?"

At this time, the door behind Li Zhen suddenly opened, Li Quan walked out of the room, she stopped crying, and looked at Cao Wen coldly and said, "Cao Wen, I only now understand, are you going to marry Wu Dingxiang?"

Cao Wen couldn't say a word for a long time. At this time, Lian'er rushed out of the room crying, grabbed Cao Wen's face desperately, shouting and cursing: "You unscrupulous bastard, didn't you say I would marry me as a wife? You big liar, I'll fight with you."

Cao Wen was caught with a few blood marks on his face. He was so angry that he slapped her over and pointed at her and scolded him: "Little prostitute, what is your origin? You still want to be my Cao Wen's wife. You don't even urinate and take care of yourself."

Li Quan looked at him for a while and finally sighed: "I, Li Quan, are really blind. I actually married you, a despicable villain. Cao Wen, even if you don't want to divorce me, I will divorce you. From now on, I, Li Quan, will no longer be your Cao family's wife, nor will you be your wife. You go to be the son-in-law of King Liang, and I want to see what good ending will you have in the future?"

"A Zhen, Qiu Niang, let's go"

Li Quan turned around and walked towards the gate. Zhao Qiuniang hurriedly caught up with her and asked in a low voice: "A Quan, is it okay?"

"I'm fine. I'll write a husband-lost book. You can find someone to give it to him for me. I don't want to see him again."

At this time, Li Zhen suddenly punched Cao Wen's nose. Cao Wen screamed and threw more than ten feet away. He covered his face and rolled on the ground. The bones of his nose were interrupted by Li Zhen.

Meng ran out, held his son and asked anxiously, "Son, how are you?"

She hated Li Zhen in her heart and pointed at him and cursed: "You damn bastard, why don't you die?"

Li Zhen sneered and said, "I feel really uncomfortable if I don't punch your son. Finally, I would like to advise you to control your son well and advise him to be honest as an official, so that he will not fall into my hands like Lai Junchen."
