Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Sang Fuqing was extremely angry. Since the other party was taking advantage of her and she had no intention of indulging her, there was no need to indulge her. She had originally wanted to discuss the matter with her politely to save her face.

Ha, this daughter of the Li family is even more pretentious than I imagined. With this kind of behavior, don’t blame him, Sang, for being merciless!

After leaving Li Huoyue with a warning, he left in anger.

Holding the oil-paper umbrella given by the Li family, he walked into the rain without looking back.

Sang Fuqing was shouting so loudly in the mansion that it was hard for other people in the Li Mansion not to know about it.

The person who got the news before Li Huoyue himself was Li Huoyue's sister-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law was an orphan of a military family. She was impatient by nature. In addition, she had always had a good relationship with her sister-in-law. She was so angry that she slammed the table and cursed:

"I've heard about him and that damn number one scholar before, and I just thought that the female number one scholar was just being sentimental. Now, Sang actually dared to come to the Li residence and say such nonsense! I'll beat him to death!"

After saying that, he picked up his sledgehammer, turned over and rode his horse to find his childhood playmate, and led his men to the Sang Mansion.

Li Huoyue had just settled the accounts and was unaware of his sister-in-law's "Thunder Operation".

She adjusted her schedule and prepared to go to the fourth brother first to find out the details.

Sang Fuqing looks like a fool at the moment, but his mother is said to be no easy person.

If you want to reduce losses, you have to engage in some tug-of-war.

But whether it is to gain benefits or reduce losses, to a large extent, it depends on who has more advantages in obtaining the other party's information.

The fourth pillar industry is information collection and resale. There is no way she would leave such a huge advantage unused.

The rain has already subsided and you won't notice it unless you feel it carefully.

Li Huoyue didn't hold an umbrella. He walked quickly into Lao Si's yard, went straight to Lao Si's study, and made himself a cup of tea.

Asked: "What happened to the Sang Mansion?"

The fourth brother had been waiting for her since early morning, knowing that if she knew even a little bit about this, he would no longer be able to keep it a secret. No matter how defensive he was, he was still discovered by her.

"I have already stopped the man, how did you know about it?" The fourth brother felt strange. Logically speaking, Li Huoyue should not even know about Sang Fuqing's visit.

Li Huoyue took a sip of the tea he brewed, sighed, and said, "Today, people from other villages came to reconcile accounts, and one of the owners drank two bowls of cold tea in one breath."

The fourth brother felt that he understood a little bit, and said, "There was a servant in the living room who was lazy, and you called him in to give him a lecture, did you know?"

"No, the maids and servants in the living room are fine. It's just that the owner of the manor can't drink Maofeng tea. Drinking it will cause diarrhea."

"Then what?" The fourth brother knew which owner Li Huoyue was talking about. He also knew the situation. "What does this have to do with you knowing that Sang Fuqing was coming? What did the owner of the manor say?"

"They wouldn't be so unruly." Li Huoyue shook his head, "I guessed that the foreign owner would come from the flower hall."

Only the flower hall serves Maofeng tea.

The owner of the manor knew that he could not drink, so he always chose Yunting as his first choice.

However, he chose not to go to the Yun Hall even though he was so thirsty, which proved that there were other guests in the Yun Hall, so he could only wait in the Flower Hall.

The fourth brother thought about it and thought of the reason for Li Huoyue's speculation, so he felt even more puzzled.

Since she knew that Sang Fuqing was coming to see her, why did she choose to act as if she didn't know?

Just as he was about to ask another question, he was interrupted by Li Huoyue as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Let's get down to business."

The fourth brother slowly closed his curious mouth, thought for a moment, and answered Li Huoyue's question:

"On March 15th, a top scholar with outstanding literary talent emerged."

Li Huoyue was somewhat puzzled by this answer. Sang Fuqing had won the third place in the imperial examination a few years ago. It was unlikely that Sang Fuqing was not satisfied and took the exam again.

"His brother won the first place in the imperial examination? Do you think the Sang Mansion is doing well again?"

The fourth brother rarely smiled coldly, and said sarcastically, "His brother is just a useless person, even worse than the third brother. He will never pass the imperial examination."

Li Huoyue put down the teacup, paused, and said, "Old Four, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't use all this prelude. I've been so busy lately that I want to become a monk."

There are six children in the Li family, and Li Huoyue is the sixth. However, unless it is necessary, Li Huoyue usually does not call anyone "brother".

The fourth brother was somewhat speechless. He had wanted to speak slowly so that Li Huoyue could be mentally prepared. In this case, he just said it directly:

"She was the first female champion in the Southern Kingdom, and she got together with your fiancé.

Right there in the hall, the female number one scholar said that she wanted to be with her fiancé for the rest of her life.

His Majesty knows that you and Sang Fuqing are engaged and will be married soon, so he has not agreed to grant the marriage for the time being.

The top female scholar told you to give up Sang Fuqing. The one who is not loved is the third party. "

Worried that Li Huoyue didn't know enough details, he added expressionlessly:

"Everyone didn't know what the third party meant, so they asked her, and she said the third party was -

Shamelessly trying to interfere in other people's love affairs."

Li Huoyue was amused by the last sentence and almost choked on her tea. She coughed a few times and thought of what Sang Fuqing had left for her. She joked, "It's quite interesting. These two are a good match. They both don't know their place."

After laughing, he asked again, "Did the boss and father not talk?"

Li's father Li Lian and the eldest son are both third-rank officials. Although this rank is not high enough in Kyoto, it is considered qualified to attend court. The words of the female top scholar should also be heard by Li's father and the eldest son.

Forget about Mr. Li’s personality, there is no reason for the eldest brother not to come out and say a few words.

"I have said it. She went up to me and called me shameless and ignorant. She said she had read too much and had read too much books. She told me not to speak on behalf of all women in the world. Those good women can't stand her ruining their reputation like this."

It's a rare opportunity to eat the melons from one's own family. The fourth child is talkative, but he has always had a cold face since he was a child, otherwise his description would be quite vivid.

"This is the first time I've heard big brother scold someone so angrily, but Xu Jiao'er had just been selected as the top scholar by the emperor, and big brother scolding her like this made the emperor embarrassed, so he suspended her from her post on the grounds of being disrespectful in front of the palace."

"How long has it been?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!" Li Huoyue was shocked. No wonder her sister-in-law hadn't come to talk to her recently.

"March 15th, today is already April 3rd, how long did you say it was?" The fourth brother answered.

Seeing Li Huoyue frowning slightly, he comforted her again:

"Mother is not at home, and you have been too busy recently. No one will bother you with anything irrelevant. It's just a suspension, not a dismissal. Who would have thought that such an incredible figure would suddenly appear? I have never heard of a woman with such talent before."

It started raining outside the window again, dripping on the eaves. After the fourth man in the room stopped talking, the room was quiet for a long time.

Li Huoyue rubbed his forehead and said, "She...did she recite poems in the hall?"

The fourth brother always felt that his sister was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that she could guess this.

He nodded and repeated: "Have you not seen the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, rushing to the sea and never coming back? Have you not seen the white hair in the mirror in the hall..."
