The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

First she was splashed with a basin of water, and now she heard Li Xi telling her to get out. Lady Liu's face, which was pale from the cold water, looked even uglier.

Li Xi looked at her, but her heart was not disturbed at all. She had long seen that Madam Liu was a people-pleasing person.

Such people may be weak, cautious and respectful in front of outsiders, but they will show arrogance at home. They desire authority in their hearts, but due to lack of strength and self-confidence, they often behave timidly in front of outsiders.

After returning home, they will vent their negative and repressed emotions on their family members, treating them harshly and cruelly in order to demonstrate their authority and dignity.

Madam Liu is such a person. She is always weak in appearance. Li Tiezhu is the opposite of her. He is a strong, confident and capable person. So when he is around, Madam Liu will not compete with him for the dominance at home.

But after he left, Liu Niangzi became the only head of the family. Without someone who could control her, Liu Niangzi began to want to seize the right to speak in the family.

But she happened to meet Li Xi, who was more powerful than her, so all her ideas of suppressing Li Xi were naturally impossible to achieve.

At this moment, Liu Niangzi's eyes were bloodshot, and her wet clothes were stuck to her body. She seemed to be able to feel the bone-chilling cold. She felt that everyone around her was laughing at her, and the laughter coming from her ears was even more of a mockery to her.

It's ironic that a mother could be treated like this by her own children.

Hu Zi looked at Lady Liu like this, with some sadness in his eyes, "You should leave, my sister and I are living well, we don't want to see each other again in the future."

Hu Zi's words were like a slap in Liu Niangzi's face. In her opinion, she had condescended to come and pick up her siblings to live a good life, but not only did they not appreciate it, they even drove her away like a plague god.

In fact, compared to Li Xi's cold-bloodedness, Hu Zi's words were even more difficult for her to accept.

The Liu family favors boys over girls. Although Mrs. Liu did not show it so obviously, she actually valued Hu Zi more in her heart. Besides, Hu Zi was an obedient child. When he was at the Li family, he always followed her and helped her with the work.

It can be said that after Li Tiezhu's death, Hu Zi became her spiritual sustenance. Her remarriage was actually the result of a failed bargaining game with Li Xi. If Li Xi had given in and backed down at that time, she would most likely not have remarried.

But Li Xi didn't do that. She was driven to that point at the time, and with the instigation of the Liu family, she ended up like this.

Because of the remarriage, Madam Liu hated Li Xi to the core, but she definitely disliked her very much. But it was different towards Hu Zi. She really had genuine feelings for him. As for how much this feeling was, only she knew it.

Madam Liu was filled with anger and looked at Li Xi with bloodshot eyes. Before anyone could react, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her.

Li Xi naturally would not stand there and get beaten. She grabbed Hu Zi by the back of his neck and pushed him back, then slammed the door.

Because of his strength, Li Xi did all this very easily and quickly.

But the fact that Li Xi had time to react did not mean that Lady Liu would also have time to react. Her momentum was too fast and she could not stop at all. Looking at the door that was suddenly closed, Lady Liu's pupils dilated. It was useless to retreat, so she hit the door with her right hand.

Her strength plus the force of her body caused her right wrist to break instantly, and she let out a loud scream.

The maidservant beside Madam Liu didn't care about anything else and rushed over to check her.

"Oh, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Madam Liu held her severely injured wrist with one hand, and her forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Is your hand okay? Can you move it?" The maid looked at her anxiously. Looking at her wrist that swelled up instantly, she wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

Early in the morning, Madam Liu had just wanted to slap that bitch to vent her anger, but she didn't expect to end up losing more than she gained. She was already furious, and now she was even more furious and couldn't vent it.

There was a sharp pain in her hand, but the maid kept asking how her hand was. Her hand was already swollen, couldn't she see it?

Madam Liu raised her uninjured left hand and slapped the maid hard on the face. The veins on her forehead bulged because of her broken right hand. "Why are you asking? Are you blind? Take me to see a doctor!"

As Madam Liu spoke, she slapped the maid in the face again. Looking at the two red slap marks on the maid's face, Madam Liu felt strangely relieved.

The maid Xingzhi felt the heat and pain on her face, and looked in shock at Madam Liu, who had always been weak in her heart. She never expected that she would hit her.

The nanny standing by looked at the slap mark on Xingzhi's face and the satisfaction in Liu Niangzi's eyes, and her whole face became very ugly.

The servant next to her carefully glanced at the nanny's face, then looked at Aunt Liu who was soaking wet. Aunt Liu probably didn't know that Xingzhi was Nanny Wang's goddaughter.

Aunt Liu was new in the palace and might not know Nanny Wang's status in the palace, but the servant was a family-born child and knew Nanny Wang's status in the palace best.

This girl was the old lady's maid who came with the dowry, and later became the master's wet nurse. It can be said that even the master had to give her some face. But this Aunt Liu was so bad that she beat her goddaughter in front of her and offended Nanny Wang. Her future life will be hard to say for sure.

After all, the master has more than one concubine. She is not the first and will not be the last.

Nanny Wang was naturally dissatisfied at this moment. It was true that she had three sons, but her three sons were all simple-minded. They were filial, but they could not say a single caring word.

But Xingzhi is different. Although she is not a sweet-talker, she is very capable. Since she became her godparent, she never forgets to give herself a share of the gifts she buys. The underwear, socks, shoes and other things she wears every day are all made by her own hands.

Nanny Wang has no daughter, so she truly treats Xingzhi as her own daughter.

Xing Zhi reacted with red eyes and choked up as she said, "Yes, I will take you there right away."

As he spoke, he helped her walk towards the carriage.

Nanny Wang followed behind and looked at Aunt Liu's back. Although she was angry, she knew that she could not touch her now because she was still useful to the master. Her eyes darkened, but there was a long time to come, so she just had to wait and see.

Madam Liu didn't know that she had created an enemy with two slaps. She was not satisfied with getting on the carriage with the help of Xing Zhi, and kicked Xing Zhi again, "Why are you dithering? Do you want to hurt me to death?

Bitch! They are all bitches! "

Seeing this, Nanny Wang said to Xingzhi, "You are so clumsy. Why don't you come down? I will serve you, Auntie."

Nanny Wang got into the car and replaced Xingzhi. Madam Liu did not treat Nanny Wang the same way she treated Xingzhi. Although she did not know Nanny Wang's identity, she could see that the master had an unusual attitude towards her.

You see, people always bully the weak and fear the strong.

With Nanny Wang's escort, although Madam Liu screamed in pain throughout the rest of the journey, she did not cause any other trouble.

Doctor Wu and A Wei watched as Madam Liu was helped onto the carriage. The maids and servants followed the carriage away. In the alley that was so "bustling" just now, only the two of them were left, master and disciple.

Doctor Wu and A Wei looked at each other and felt sympathetic. It seemed that Li Xi had become much more restrained in his daily life.

A Wei looked at the tightly closed door of the Li family and swallowed subconsciously. It seemed that Li Xi had been nice to him before and her words were not so vicious. It was not impossible for him to accept it.

At least she didn't do it!

This drama was quite lively to watch, but it actually went on quite quickly from beginning to end, so by the time Gu Jingzhi heard the report and rushed over, everything was already over.

When he arrived, the door of the Li family was still closed. Only Doctor Wu and his apprentice were in the alley. He saw shock and confusion in the eyes of the master and apprentice.

Gu Jingzhi interrupted their reverie and asked, "What happened? Where is Li Xi?"

The person sent by Hong Jiang to report to him said directly that someone came to cause trouble for Li Xi, but did not specify who that person was.

Doctor Wu came back to his senses and was about to speak when the tightly closed door of the Li family was suddenly opened. Li Xi walked out, glanced at Gu Jingzhi, and then turned his gaze to Doctor Wu and his apprentice.

He said in a slightly speechless tone, "You two, what's going on? Is it fun?"

Doctor Wu was about to say sorry when Ah Wei grabbed his sleeve. Ah Wei smiled flatteringly and said to Li Xi, "My master and I heard the noise outside, and we wanted to help because we were worried that you and Hu Zi were alone.

I didn't expect that Sister Li Xi, you would leave like this. It really leaves us without any place to use our skills."

Sister Li Xi?

Li Xi looked at A Wei who was smiling at her flatteringly, feeling speechless. Is this still the same A Wei who kept arguing with her whenever they met?

I don’t know about Li Xi. Doctor Wu also looked down at his apprentice with a very complicated look. Was he scared by Li Xi?

"Okay, we've seen enough fun, you should go back to where you should go. You, come in with me." Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi and turned into the yard.

Gu Jingzhi looked at Doctor Wu and his apprentice, wondering what had just happened that he had no idea about.

Li Xi had already gone in. Gu Jingzhi did not delay, retracted his gaze, followed Li Xi into the yard, and closed the door behind him.

Doctor Wu: “…”

Awei: “…”

Li Xi had already sat down in the pavilion. Gu Jingzhi walked over and sat opposite her. "Who was here just now?"

"Mr. Wang's aunt."

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

"What is she doing here?" Gu Jingzhi frowned. He had already asked someone to pass the warning to Mr. Wang, but he still dared to target Li Xi.

Yes, no matter whether it was Gu Jingzhi or Li Xi, they never thought that Madam Liu came to see Li Xi and the others because she wanted to come.

If Li Xi and her brother were really important to her, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Thinking back to the water stains he had just seen at the door and the basin of water placed by the door, Gu Jingzhi could probably guess what had just happened.

He looked around the yard and asked, "Where's Huzi?"

Li Xi glanced at the room and said, "Maybe he's hiding in the room crying."

Although Hu Zi is very sensible, he is still just a child after all.

"Mr. Wang has taken a fancy to you." Li Xi leaned on her arm and supported her cheek as she looked at Gu Jingzhi. She didn't think there was any other value in her that could attract Mr. Wang.

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

Why is her statement so ambiguous?

"It seems that he is trying to justify smuggling." Considering Mr. Wang's occupation, this guess is hard to imagine.

"Rationalization of smuggling?" It was the first time that Gu Jingzhi heard this word. Although it sounded strange, it was understandable at once.

"The court has its own laws. He is just dreaming." Gu Jingzhi sneered, "How could he think you could help him achieve this idea?"

Li Xi blinked, also confused about this.

What neither of them knew was that, although Mr. Wang had never heard the outrageous story of love, hate and revenge told by Li Xi, what he came up with in his mind was almost the same as what Li Xi had made up.

After he learned that Li Xi and his sister were taken to Jiayuguan by people from the General Zhenbei's Mansion, and that Hu Zi was studying at the Gu family school, he sent people to investigate the relationship between Li Xi and the General Zhenbei's Mansion, trying to find out why the General Zhenbei's Mansion treated them like that.

But no matter how the investigation was carried out, the final result was that Li Xi and the Zhenbei General's Mansion had no contact before.

However, he also found out that Mr. Wang had been engaged in smuggling for many years and naturally had his own channels of information. Through investigation, he learned that Gu Jingzhi had been missing for a period of time about half a year ago.

He vaguely guessed something, so he had someone draw a portrait of Gu Jingzhi and sent people to Lijiazhuang and Jiangning City to investigate whether anyone had seen him.

Gu Jingzhi had been hiding very well when he was in Lijiazhuang, so Wang Yuanwai naturally didn't find out anything in Lijiazhuang. But it was different in Jiangning City. Gu Jingzhi had followed Li Xi into Jiangning City several times, and with his outstanding appearance, there would always be people who would have an impression of him.

So Mr. Wang's people quickly found out that Gu Jingzhi had been to Jiangning City before, and he was indeed with Li Xi at the time, but they could not find out anything else.

But in Wang Yuanwai's opinion, this was enough. Based on the clues at hand, Wang Yuanwai connected all the clues into a line and finally came to a conclusion.

There must be something special between Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi, but as for how it happened.

He found out that when Li Xi was in Jiangning City, she lived with her brother in a nice courtyard. How could Li Xi, a peasant girl, gain a foothold in the city with her brother? It must have been arranged by Gu Jingzhi behind the scenes.

And now, he not only brought them from Jiangning City to Jiayuguan, but also sent Hu Zi to their family's clan school.

In his opinion, there must be something fishy between them. Gu Jingzhi must have fallen in love with Li Xi and was crazy about her, otherwise he would not have brought her to his side regardless of her identity as a peasant girl.

As for why he liked the little girl Li Xi, Wang Yuanwai had no doubts. He himself loved young women. Everyone had different preferences. Maybe this young general just liked skinny little village girls.

After all, different people have different tastes.
