I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 41 Caixia's Decision
Wei Tu stopped in front of the door.

He took back his right foot that was hanging in the air and stepped out of the threshold, turned around, and looked at the maid who was kneeling in the hall.

It was evening now, and the oil lamp in the hall stood on the half table near the south wall, beside Li Yaozu and his wife—the light penetrated through their robes and hairpins, forming a huge shadow, extending from the table to the threshold outside the house, covering the maid who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

After Weitu stopped, he stepped on the shadow on the floor tiles, walked back to the living room, and stood beside the maid without saying a word.

For many years in Li's house, Wei Tu was very familiar with the maids and servants in Li's house. Even if he didn't see their faces, he could roughly guess who they were just by seeing their figures.

If this servant girl was as friendly as him, he would immediately turn around and leave directly for these trivial things that are common in rich families.

He has not yet challenged the strength of the secular order.

But Caixia's words...

No matter what, it was difficult for him to take that step, choose to ignore it, and leave Li's living room.

Although, Caixia's kindness would not make him "go to war" with the Li family for this, but it was enough for him to help Caixia stand on the platform.

At first.

If it wasn't for Caixia's reminder, he would have redeemed his body contract in advance, avoiding Li Yaozu's "triggering".

At this time, he might have turned into a bandit, a knife bandit hiding in the mountains.

even--

The head has fallen, and he died tragically under the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers.

……

"Why did he come back?"

In the living room of Li Zhai, after seeing Wei Tu Libu standing beside Caixia, Li Yaozu and his wife were deeply troubled, not knowing how to continue to take care of this "small matter".

Although the master's family abused the servant girls, this was clearly prohibited in Zheng Guo's law, but after breaking this criminal law, the punishment was only some money, so the so-called decree, in the eyes of Li Yaozu and his wife, was just a dead letter.

Follow the routine.

After this incident happened, Li Tong, as the mistress, reprimanded Li Xingye a few words, punished him to think behind closed doors, and then compensated Caixia with some money, and the matter passed like this.

If the two are willing, it is also feasible for Li Xingye to secretly take Caixia into the house.

But right now, the trouble is——Wei Tu stood up for Caixia, even though she didn't say anything, her attitude has already been shown.

Weitu's own strength, as well as the Shan Wuju behind him and the Huang family in the county seat, made Li Yaozu and his wife have to carefully consider how to give Weitu and Caixia a perfect answer.

"Caixia, what has happened, Grandma... no matter how harshly I criticize Xingye, it will not help..."

"You make a request, and Grandma will consider it according to her discretion and agree to you."

After a while, Li Tongshi finally spoke in this quiet but noisy living room.

"Except for Xingye's first wife position, which cannot be given to you, I will consider other things."

She added another sentence.

Caixia was Li Yaozu's housemaid, even though Li Yaozu had never touched Caixia under her supervision, but with this title, Li Xingye took Caixia as his concubine, which violated the etiquette and was extremely inappropriate.

In her words, she told Caixia not to think about being the first wife, but she actually reminded Caixia not to think about becoming Li Xingye's concubine, which made it difficult for her.

"pink clouds……"

As soon as Caixia stopped crying, she pursed her lips tightly, and after saying these two words, she began to remain silent again.

"Mother, it's just a maid, and my father doesn't need it. I just don't have a wife, so it doesn't matter if I live in the house." Li Xingye rubbed his sleepy eyes and interjected.

listen to this.

Caixia seemed to have made up her mind, she raised her head and glanced at Weitu first, then at Li Tongshi, and said, "The servant girl asks for the grace of the grandma, and grants the servant girl freedom and a gift of money to return home."

"That's all?" After hearing Caixia's request, Li Tong could not believe it, showing surprise on his face.

If there is no Wei Tu as her platform, Caixia's request is extremely excessive, she would not even be able to agree.

The master's willingness to favor the maid is a gift to the maid. After all, everything about the maid belongs to the master.

But it was different at this time, Li Tongshi was already prepared, and Caixia planned to blackmail her.

Give up a little money to keep the family ugly, this is what she, the mistress, should do.

Once the family ugliness is publicized, not only will the Li family's township appraisal be affected, but it will also delay Li Xingye's road to the imperial examination.

"I hope Grandma will forgive me."

Caixia kowtowed twice.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will allow you to do this." Li Tong said with a sigh of relief.

Soon.

Li Tong took out a lacquered wooden tray from the inner hall, on which were placed two ingots of silver and an unsealed envelope.

"These two ingots of silver, each ingot is the full amount of five taels, a total of ten taels of silver, you take it."

"Inside the envelope are your deed of sale and the letter of redemption written by the master..."

Li Tong said word by word.

"Thank you, grandma."

Caixia continued to kowtow, showing gratitude.

Seeing this, there was no need for Wei Tu to stay here, he secretly sighed, and prepared to leave here.

Everyone has their own choices.

In his opinion, Caixia's choice was not bad, she asked for her own body deed and ten taels of silver instead of staying in Li's house.

With freedom and money, when she returns home, as long as Caixia's parents are not the kind of rogues, Caixia's life can have a good ending...

however--

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Caixia suddenly stood up.

She got up, quickly took the two ingots of silver that Li Tong had placed on the lacquered wooden tray, and said, "Grandma, I have always been on good terms with Sister Xinghua, and Sister Xinghua has helped me a lot in the house. I want to redeem Sister Xinghua's body for these ten taels of silver. I wonder if Grandma will allow it?"

The voice fell.

Everyone in the living room looked at Wei Tu who was standing beside Caixia.

Xinghua is the wife of Weitu.

Caixia redeems Xinghua's deed, and Li Zhaifang repays Xinghua's deed, no matter what, they can't get around the Wei Tu in front of them...

Hearing this, Li Yaozu and his wife looked at Wei Tu, wanting to see Wei Tu's reaction.

They knew very well that with Weitu's status and status at this time, if they wanted to borrow money to redeem Xinghua's body contract, they could do so half a year ago.

The reason why he didn't redeem his wife was not because Wei Tu had forgotten his wife, but because he borrowed money to redeem his wife, which was a great debt.

At this moment, Caixia wants to use money to redeem Xinghua's body deed from Li's house, which is undoubtedly showing kindness to Weitu.

however.

To the disappointment of Li Yaozu and his wife, Wei Tu seemed to acquiesce in this matter, and kept silent after hearing Caixia speak.

"The redemption of the life contract requires the consent of the person..." Li Yaozu spoke, thinking about the words of rejection.

——He also wanted to use Xinghua to take advantage of Weitu, and Caixia redeemed Xinghua, and all the kindness fell on Caixia.

"Marry and obey your husband."

"On this point, Xinghua Wei Xinghua agreed."

At this time, Wei Tu said.
