Divorced woman with child travels through time

"What is this? My family is destroyed and my loved ones are dead?" Li Wan found a tavern by the roadside and began to drink in silence.

"Oh dear, young master, why are you drinking alone here all by yourself?" Xiangnu, the servant of Qinghuan, saw him from the roadside and came over quite naturally.

"Oh, Xiangnu, why did you finish work so early?" Li Wan's eyes were still blurry with drunkenness, but she still recognized him.

"It's getting late, past midnight. I'm not feeling well today, so I'm going home to rest early. How much have you been drinking, young master? It's so late, let me take you home." Xiangnu felt a little guilty for not taking any action since he was a regular customer.

"Ha! Home! Where is my home now? It's all my fault..." Li Wan cried, tears streaming down her face. "My dear son, the son I raised with such care for eighteen years, and he actually told me to get out..."

"I'm so miserable..." Li Wan threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, her hands unconsciously groping around.

"Hey, hey, I'm done with work, I'm not taking any more customers." Xiangnu rolled her eyes and tried to push him away, but she also blamed herself for being too kind.

Li Wan felt even more desolate. She had thought someone was genuinely trying to comfort her. Humph, they were all ungrateful bastards.

"I have money, here you go! Stay with me tonight." Li Wan didn't even look up, took out a bag of money from her bosom and slapped it into his hand.

"Oh dear, you should have said so earlier!" Xiangnu immediately changed her tune, smiling broadly as she helped him up. Thinking that her home wasn't far away, she helped him to her residence.

The two stumbled into the house. It was already late at night, and Xiangnu wanted to help Li Wan rest. However, Li Wan had just been scolded by her own son and was in a bad mood. She then pulled him to drink. Xiangnu's family had a wine store, so she drank with him for another time and even asked him what had happened.

As the saying goes, one speaks the truth when drunk. With wine and company, Li Wan poured out her grievances, "Tell me, nowadays, which man doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines and seek pleasure? I'm just a little more inclined to homosexuality than others, which is only human nature. Why can't I be tolerated? Is that it?"

“That’s true. He’s probably still young. He’ll be fine when he’s older. Don’t worry about him, Wanlang. Come, let me drink with you.” Xiangnu was always good with words, and Li Wan felt more and more at ease as she listened. So she told Li Wan about her son’s childhood.

“He was extremely attached to me when he was little. I often took him out to play. He was also good at studying. His teacher often praised him for being sensible and studious. He passed the provincial examination at a young age and is now one of the top students at Yingtian Academy.” Li Wan wished she could slap her thigh in frustration.

"It's all that Jin Sui's fault! How dare he mess with me! I'll kill him and cut off his manhood for daring to touch my son!" Li Wan viciously smashed the wine bowl and pulled Xiang Nu into her arms.

Xiangnu assumed he was just drunk and talking nonsense, and couldn't help but laugh at him, "You playboy, you're good at joking. People aren't that easy to kill."

“Why wouldn’t it be easy to kill him?” Li Wan lowered her voice, gesturing in the air with her hand. “Just twist his neck, give it a gentle bend, hey, I’m telling you, right here, right here!”

Li Wan staggered to her half-squat, pinching the bulge at the back of his neck, and said seriously, "Can you feel it? Here..."

Xiangnu's heart skipped a beat, a strange light flashing in her eyes. Her delicate hand traced up his leg, and she said softly, "I felt it. And then? Who is it that is so wicked as to make our playboy angry?"

Li Wan felt her desire aroused when he touched her most sensitive spot. She let out a soft groan of pleasure, then sat down and pulled him into her arms, roaming his body over her body. "Then, with a little force, that person stopped moving. He's just a clueless servant. Let's not talk about those useless things. Just come and have some fun with me..."

"Okay." Xiangnu took out her money pouch and put it aside, smiling obsequiously.

Li Wan quickly pinned him down, and they engaged in a passionate lovemaking session, oblivious to the world around them.

The next day, Li Wan woke up groggily when the sun was high in the sky, only to find that there was no one beside her.

He dragged his hangover home, only to find the gates wide open and several old servants sitting at the entrance with mournful faces, refusing to leave.

"What happened?" Li Wan's face was extremely pale.

"Master, you're finally back! Young Master and Madam left last night without saying where they went. I... I can't find you. What should we do now?" The old servant put down the bundle he was holding.

Li Wan had a terrible headache and all she wanted to do was sleep. "Never mind them, let's just go."

Upon his return, several servants followed him into the mansion. Just as breakfast was being served, a servant came to report.

"Sir, our shop assistant has arrived!"

Li Wan was startled and stood up. "Master, someone has come to seize the shop with the document you signed!"

"What?! Quickly prepare the horse! I'm going to find my sister!" Oh no, this has created a loophole.

Li Wan, disregarding her already empty stomach, was about to go out.

Another worker came to report. Someone was looking for him!

"What is it now?" Li Wan became increasingly impatient. Why were there so many problems every day?

"You must be Master Li. Xiangnu, the courtesan, asked me to bring this to you, saying that you left something with her."

After saying this, the man left.

What's going on? Li Wan squeezed the purse in her hand; it was the money pouch she had given him, but it was empty.

Upon opening it, there was only a note inside: "Do you still remember what we discussed last night? Quickly offer a thousand taels of silver, or I will report you."

Li Wan was instantly furious. What kind of time was this to have someone causing trouble? He shook his head. He couldn't remember anything about yesterday. It must have been that scoundrel trying to extort money. Oh well, he'd deal with him later.

Li Wan carelessly tossed the note aside and hurried off on horseback to find Li Shi.

Just as they turned the corner, they bumped head-on into a group of government officials.

He was startled and turned to run away.

"Don't run!"

"Shoot him if he runs again!" The officers had no choice but to obey.

Seeing this, Li Wan had no choice but to dismount and surrender.

They were quickly taken to the military patrol institute.

"My lord, what's going on? These three have nothing to do with me!" Li Wan said with a forced smile, but when she saw the three merchants lying down and the thug-like man kneeling there, her face immediately fell.

Sun Zheng glanced meaningfully at the official sent by Kaifeng Prefecture beside him.

He tapped the gavel. "A thief has confessed. He claims to be one of the people who attacked these three merchants, and he has brought IOUs with him. The mastermind is the Li family, and you are an accomplice! Do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Honor, I'm innocent! My Honor, I knew nothing about this. It was all my sister's doing. I had nothing to do with it. I just lost money and wrote an IOU." Li Wan's eyes darted around as she immediately distanced herself from the matter.

"You, Li Wan! I was so blind!" Li Shi, who was being escorted by several constables, happened to enter the room and overheard this. She immediately shouted at him angrily.

"Sister." Li Wan shrank back when she heard the voice.

Cao Xiangru, who was with him, gave him a disgusted look and then sat down to the side.
