Li Qiulian saw the shock in his eyes and felt happy.
She stood up straight, walked around He Yuanzhou and said, "Have you figured out who it is?"
"My cousin is Chen Qingtang, the daughter of the Grand Tutor." When she said the three words "Chen Qingtang", she moved closer to He Yuanzhou, wanting to see with her own eyes what expression he would have when he knew that all this was a trap set by Chen Qingtang to get rid of him: "My mother and Madam Chen are sisters, and Chen Qingtang and I are cousins. Among the sisters in my family, I am the only one who looks like my cousin. Coincidentally, I came to Chen Country just for you."
Li Qiulian has given up everything.
I don't plan to pretend anymore.
He Yuanzhou stared at Li Qiulian the whole time, his hands clenched into fists and shaking violently.
"Your wife just died, and I have long heard of your great name. I also heard that my cousin was also in Chen Country, so I came to seek refuge with her so that she could help me and you, Lord He, get married. My cousin saw that I looked like her, so she agreed to this matter."
"Oh, right……"
"That poem about missing my family under the moon was tailor-made for me by my cousin. I will memorize it and send it to you in front of you to miss my family under the moon. I hope you will mistakenly think that I am knowledgeable and talented. My cousin said that Lord He likes talented women."
"There is also the line 'A breeze suddenly blows the lotus leaves, and mercury pours out of the jade dish'. The name Lianyu was also given to me by my cousin."
"She tried her best to make Lord He like me, and I didn't let my cousin down. She let you marry me in a grand ceremony, but I didn't expect that this marriage was just a superficial one. You are a He family, and even the servants are bought now. There is only 800 taels in the account, and the outside assets are just a few broken fields that can't grow any food."
Li Qiulian became more and more excited as she spoke. Finally, she squatted down and shouted ferociously, "With your family background, you still dare to covet my cousin. If I were your cousin, if I could choose the Xie family, I would not choose a poor and downtrodden child like you."
"She is not a petty person like you who forgets his principles for the sake of profit and is blinded by money." Until now, Chen Qingtang is still the most perfect one in He Yuanzhou's heart, and he will not allow Li Qiulian to tarnish Chen Qingtang's reputation.
Li Qiulian cursed: "So you covet her, but you can't get her. You are only worthy of me, a small family in the market, but you still expect me to be well-educated, gentle and dignified, sit on the chair of the mistress of the He Mansion, and be in charge of your poor land of one temple and three mu of land. You also learn from the rich families and require their wives to stay at home to take care of the husband and children. What am I trying to do by marrying you?"
"I'm here because you're poor, because you have three pieces of broken land full of weeds, and because you'll have a lifetime of fame!"
"I bother."
She spat at him again.
He Yuanzhou pulled up his sleeve to wipe the saliva off his face, stood up, grabbed Li Qiulian by the neck and pressed her against the tea table.
Li Qiulian was instantly out of breath.
Seeing this, Madam Li and Li Qingyue wanted to rush over to save Li Qiulian, but they were also held down by the guards of the Supervisory Office and could not move.
Li Qiulian struggled hard and kicked.
When she felt she was about to die, Chunsheng's voice came from outside: "Sir, sir, someone from the Xie family is here."
The moment He Yuanzhou raised his head, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, which scared Chunsheng.
He came to his senses and looked down at the woman he had pressed on the tea table. Li Qiulian's face turned red, her brows were furrowed, and she rolled her eyes several times, almost fainting.
But she looked nothing like Chen Qingtang.
What’s funny is that he actually treated her as Chen Qingtang and protected her carefully like a treasure.
Chunsheng's arrival did not make He Yuanzhou let go of his hand immediately. He asked calmly, "What are the people from the Xie family doing here?"
Chunsheng held the account book in his hand and said, "The general said he was here to collect money on behalf of the queen."
After saying that, Chunsheng walked up to He Yuanzhou with the account book and handed it to him with both hands.
He Yuanzhou said coldly, "Open the account book and let me see it."
"Yes."
Chunsheng opened the account book as instructed.
All of them are the accounts of the mother and son of the Li family. Moreover, there are more things and they are more expensive than those obtained from the Wei, Yuan, Tuoba and Wang families. Some things are even priceless.
Even if He Yuanzhou sold himself, he would never be able to pay it back in his lifetime.
However, Li Qiulian swallowed up several mountains of gold and silver in one breath.
At this moment, He Yuanzhou wanted to strangle Li Qiulian to death, but he was too angry and too upset. In addition, he could not accept that Li Qiulian's appearance was arranged by Chen Qingtang. Countless strong emotions emerged in his heart, and he was so overwhelmed that he could not even muster any strength.
Finally, he fell backwards, exhausted.
Seeing this, Chunsheng rushed forward and helped He Yuanzhou to sit on the armchair at the back, saying, "Sir, you must take care of yourself. The general is still waiting outside."
At this time, Li Qiulian was also sitting weakly on the round stool in front of the tea table, her back leaning against the table, breathing heavily.
He Yuanzhou looked at her and asked angrily but weakly, "You, are you still going to the Queen's shop to get something?"
"I didn't." Li Qiulian denied it.
When He Yuanzhou heard this, he laughed crazily a few times: "Haha, hahahaha..."
He laughed for a long time, then looked at Li Qiulian and said, "Are you from the shop of the Lan family?"
Li Qiulian nodded undeniably: "Yes."
After saying that, she changed the subject: "The shopkeeper knew that I was Madam He, so he sent all the good things to me. They said they were gifts for me. Since they were gifts for me, why shouldn't I accept them? So I asked them to send all the things to the He Mansion."
"Okay, I understand." He Yuanzhou didn't want to ask any more questions.
He thought, he knew what was going on. The Emperor and the Empress wanted to punish him, so they closed the palace during this period of time to check the accounts of the Xie family.
On the one hand, it can clarify the Xie family's affairs to the outside world, and on the other hand, it can send him away from the He Mansion and make trouble for Li Qiulian and Li's mother and son in his He Mansion.
He slowly stood up and walked past Chunsheng, who followed him and asked, "Sir..."
He Yuanzhou paused and turned to look at Li Qiulian again.
Li Qiulian stood up and said, "I am pregnant with your child. Also, if my mother and brother are captured by your people from the Supervisory Department, we will die together."
“If you don’t want to die, return all the things you have taken back to the mansion from the various families and ministers these days. Otherwise, you don’t have to die with me. When the emperor issues an imperial decree to kill all nine clans, the entire Li family will not be able to escape the crime of beheading, and we will go to the guillotine together.” He Yuanzhou turned his face away, walked out of the room quickly, and went to see Xie Ci.
But he did not actually ask the Inspectorate to drive Madam Li and Li Qingyue out of the He Mansion.
Because He Yuanzhou wanted to keep them to gather their things and then return them.
As long as they come back, there is still a chance to make amends.
