Good luck every time

The old lady of the Zhao family was speechless for a moment. Looking at Zhao Qi in front of her, she just felt a little tired.

The child is too young and cannot understand some things.

"What about Miss Qin? Who do you think she is?"

Zhao Qi's arrogance was suppressed by the old lady of the Zhao family, but the defiance on his face did not disappear.

"Miss Qin has been engaged to you since she was a child. She was born to marry you. If you don't take her seriously, how will she cope with the future?"

Zhao Qi pursed his lips and said nothing.

The old lady of the Zhao family asked him again.

"You go to pester Miss Li, do you want her to be your concubine?"

Zhao Qi questioned in a low voice.

"What's wrong with being a concubine? With fine clothes and delicious food, and servants serving her, could it be worse than her current life?"

Zhao Qi's voice was indeed not loud, but the room was too quiet and the old lady of the Zhao family was not deaf, so it was impossible for her to pretend not to hear it.

Now she was speechless!

"Then do you think Miss Li is willing? What does Miss Qin think? If you do these things before you get married, won't she become a laughing stock?"

Zhao Qi couldn't understand what Old Lady Zhao said, just like he couldn't understand why Li Ruyi would rather live a hard life than be with him.

"What kind of joke is this? It's a joke that a man wants a concubine. That's too petty."

The old lady of the Zhao family couldn't explain it clearly to him, and was a little annoyed by what Zhao Qi said.

"You idiot! Are you asking for a concubine now? You're clearly slapping her in the face!"

"I thought you had improved after this experience, but now it seems that you are as stupid as ever!"

"It just so happens that your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't go out during this period of time!"

When Zhao Qi heard that he was going to be under house arrest, his eyes widened.

"Grandmother... just because I want a concubine, you're going to confine me?"

The old lady of the Zhao family glared at him.

"Go back and reflect on yourself. If you can figure it out, I'll let you out after a while. If you can't, wait until your wounds are healed and kneel in the ancestral hall to think about it. When you figure it out, or when you get married, I'll let you out!"

When Zhao Qi heard that the house arrest was going to have no end, he leaned back and fell into the chair.

"grandmother……"

The old lady of the Zhao family spoke loudly to the outside.

"Someone, tie up the young master and take him back!"

People outside heard the noise and a group of people rushed in. Zhao Qi was quickly taken away.

He wanted to struggle when he was leaving, but he was no match for the housekeeper of the old lady of the Zhao family, and was finally sent back with his head held down.

For a time, gossip about Zhao Qi spread throughout the Zhao family.

No one dared to mention Li Ruyi's matter again.

But Zhao Qi would not give up so easily. Although he could not leave, his heart was still outside.

Then he heard news that made him feel terribly sad.

"Master, I have found out everything. Most people don't know this. Miss Li has a childhood sweetheart from the same school. The two of them have a very ambiguous relationship."

"The old ancestor must have heard about this and got angry!"

Zhao Qi's heart was split into two by this news, one half was about to explode with anger, and the other half was confused.

Is this the reason why my grandmother doesn't allow me to marry Miss Li?

Why do I always feel that this matter is weird?

It seems so, but it seems not...

Zhao Qi was going crazy when another piece of news drew his attention back.

"I heard that the two of them were openly quarreling on the street. It was unclear!"

Zhao Qi: ...

"What? Pulling and tugging on the street? How? When?"

"Who is that person? What does he look like? Have I seen him before?"

After hearing the news, Zhao Qi did not give up and wanted to get out even more!

The messenger had an indescribable expression on his face.

Theoretically speaking, Zhao Qi should have met Han Shian.

However, at that time, Zhao Qi had a strand of hair cut off by Li Ruyi, and his attention was all on Li Ruyi, so how could he care about others?

Mentioning Han Shian is already unpleasant enough, and then there is the strand of hair...

The person who brought the news didn't dare to say it.

Zhao Qi was so angry that he was moving around on the ground, feeling anxious and upset. After thinking it over, he finally decided to go out for a while.

But how to get out became another problem!

After all, this is the Zhao family, and his grandmother is still the head of the family...

Zhao Qi finally decided to use a trick to change the situation.

He put on the clothes of the man who had just delivered the message, pretended to be the other person, and left his yard with his back hunched and his head lowered.

The Zhao family had a strict management system, and he knew he couldn't run away openly, so he turned around and found a courtyard wall. When the patrolling guards passed by, he untied the hook tied around his waist and threw it out.

It took several throws to finally get the hook firmly hooked. He quickly climbed up the wall and jumped out.

All these years of traveling around the world were not in vain, Zhao Qi had some basic skills.

After landing, he jumped several times while covering the wound on his body, and blood soon seeped out.

But he didn't care.

Without this drive, how could he dare to run around the world.

He has already found out where Li Ruyi lives now.

But it is really troublesome to travel at night.

After the curfew, the streets were filled with patrolling guards, forcing Zhao Qi to take some dark paths.

The clothes he wore were too thin, completely different from the thick clothes he wore in the past. He felt extremely cold not long after walking out.

The patrol torches passed by, and Zhao Qi squatted in a dark alley. After squatting for a while, he suddenly felt something rushing past under his butt.

He thought it was a mouse and was a little panicked, but he prided himself on being a tall and mighty man and could not allow himself to show fear. He suppressed his fear and looked back, which frightened him so much that his eyes almost popped out.

What just slid past was not a rat, but a human hand. The skinny beggar was now lying in the garbage dump, wrapping himself tightly with a tattered basket of vegetable leaves, but it still couldn't stop the cold wind. If no one cared, there would probably be another corpse tomorrow morning.

There are a lot of these dead bodies every winter.

Zhao Qi didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being heard by the garrison, and he just jumped in fear.

He jumped for a while, and waited until the guards walked away before he swooped out of the alley like a sharp sword.

He rushed out of the street and reached the wide main road. Only then did Zhao Qi calm down, gasping for breath.

Because he ran too fast, the person who was freezing just now now had sweat on his forehead.

He stopped and wanted to move forward, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not take this step.

Li Ruyi's words echoed in his ears.

He remembered her saying.

"I saved Mr. Zhao out of my own good will. I don't ask for too much. If Mr. Zhao feels guilty, he can help more disaster victims and continue this kindness."

Those words were still fresh in Zhao Qi's ears, and it was as if grass had grown in his heart. He despised the beggar for being dirty, but it seemed as if roots had taken root under his feet.

Zhao Qi hit his head, turned around and ran back.

After a moment, there was another person behind him.

"You must remember that I saved you, and you must repay me in the future!"

The beggar, who was wearing only a single layer of clothes and had fainted from the cold, had no way of hearing these words. He just felt a warm feeling coming from nowhere, and he hugged Zhao Qi's neck tightly.

Zhao Qi was almost vomiting from the fumes and dry-heaved twice, but as soon as he bent over, the skinny arm immediately grabbed his throat, and his rolling Adam's apple was stuck so hard that his eyeballs almost popped out in pain.

"My life! You are repaying kindness with enmity!"

Zhao Qi carried a man on his back and fought with a thief to cross the road. He hid in a ditch to avoid the guards. He was beaten by a wild cat because he stepped on a piece of rotten meat, and was frightened by the green eyes of a wild dog and jumped three feet high...

He spent half a night walking to a place that could be reached in half an hour by car.

When he found the place, Zhao Qi felt a sense of joy as if he had survived a disaster.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

But his hand did not fall on the door. The door opened and he fell into Li Er's arms.

Li Er pinched his nose and took a step back, then kicked Zhao Qi in the chest, pinning him in mid-air.

"Ugh...someone poisoned me! Ugh..."

Zhao Qi was shaking wildly. He couldn't stand steadily at all and was completely supported by Li Er's legs.

At this time, Li Shiliu had already lit the lamp and held it up to scan Zhao Qi's face and the beggar on his body.

Li Shiliu was deeply impressed by Zhao Qi, who wanted to eat roast chicken when he was away from home, but failed to eat it because he was too proud.

At that time, he was also one of those who swallowed their saliva with regret.

"Hey? Master Zhao?"

Zhao Qi was delighted that he was finally recognized, but the next moment, Li Er retracted his foot and said in a flattering manner.

"What? It's Mr. Zhao?"

His performance was so superficial that Li Shiliu rolled his eyes.

Before Zhao Qi could express the joy in his heart through words, his body had already fallen to the ground.

There was a plop, and he cried in pain.

The beggar was on top of him, with no intention of moving at all.

Li Ershi and Li Shiliu came over and bent down to take a look.

Zhao Qi felt the light approaching and wanted to shout and roar, but the experiences he had along the way influenced his will. In the end, he did not dare to make too much noise and just hummed a few words.

The two men helped him up, and Li Shiba, who was hiding behind, closed the door and put down the bolt that was raised high.

Zhao Qi was carried into the house by Li Er, and the beggar was also thrown on the kang.

Li Ruyi, who had been waiting for a long time, was called over.

She didn't mind anything. She checked the beggar's condition and then called someone to help clean up.

When the workers came to clean up, Li Ruyi went back and got a packet of lice powder for the workers to use when helping to clean.

These powders were all prepared by Granny Ding and are very effective. The Li family is now lice-free, and even the neighbors next door and their neighbors' neighbors are free of lice.

It's not easy to maintain, but be sure not to get infected.

Just as the beggar was being beaten up, Zhao Qi was also being beaten up.

Li Er found a pair of chopsticks from somewhere and picked up the lice on Zhao Qi's body to show him, which scared Zhao Qi so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

Li Shiliu thought Li Er was boring to death, so he winked at him to ask him to be quiet, after all, he was the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Li Ershi only got angry and wanted to play a trick on Zhao Qi when he heard that he was harassing Li Ruyi, but he didn't really think much about it. After receiving the hint from Li Shiliu, he restrained himself a lot.

It was not until Li Ruyi came over to check that he noticed that Zhao Qi's face looked wrong.

Zhao Qi felt very complicated when he saw Li Ruyi at this moment.

He should have asked something, but as soon as Li Ruyi opened her mouth, he was left with only aggrieved feeling.

"Your wound is open?"

There were several wounds on Zhao Qi's body, and blood had dried on his clothes, making him look just dirty. He didn't expect that Li Ruyi could see it at a glance.

Some heartbeats always come unexpectedly. Before he came, he thought he must question and accuse her, or find a way to make Li Ruyi leave Han Shian...
