Chapter 12, Money-strapped

However, Liu Tie was still unconvinced. After he got up from the ground, he pointed at Li Yao and roared: "I want to compete with him... in swordsmanship." As he spoke, he raised the butcher knife in his hand and raised his eyes. His rage and unwillingness frightened all the villagers.

The village chief couldn't stand it anymore and said to Liu Tie: "You should go back to where you came from. Mr. Li has already written a marriage letter and became husband and wife with Rong Yue. He even has a son, you Don't mess around here. You gave Chen Quanxiu's family ten taels of silver, right? Ask them to return the money to you."

After the village chief finished speaking, he said to Chen Quanxiu: "Quanxiu, your family has driven Rong Yue and Rong Bao out of the house a long time ago. This is something that everyone in Lianpeng Village knows. Now you have accepted Liu Tie's twelve taels." Don't you plan to return the silver to him? The matter of these ten taels of silver is now a matter between Chen Quanxiu and Liu Tie, and has nothing to do with the Rong Yue family. Don't disobey the disgusting Mr. Li and Rong Yue here, lest they Let Young Master Li laugh at us, the people of Lianpeng Village, for being unreasonable."

When the village chief saw the powerful calligraphy written by Li Yao, he felt that although Li Yao was a weak scholar, he was actually a very talented person.If this kind of person comes to the Enke Field, he can take the test of being a civil servant or something, and he will be an official. How can he compete with a rough guy like Liu Tie in terms of swordsmanship?Besides, Rong Yue’s stain is gone. With Rong Bao having such an excellent father, is he still worried about having a hard time in the future?
The village chief still has great prestige in this village. He spoke up and acted as a guarantee, and the villagers had nothing to do.

But Liu Tie didn't come from this village. He didn't look at the face of the village chief, but he was still furious and had a bullish temper. He rushed in front of Li Yao without hesitation, stretched out his hand to pull Li Yao and argue with Li Yao.Because he was holding a butcher's knife in his hand, the villagers were frightened.

However, just when Liu Tie walked in front of Li Yao, his knees softened inexplicably, his legs "popped" and he knelt down in front of Li Yao.

"No need to kneel down to me." Li Yao stretched out a hand and put it on Liu Tie's shoulder.

Liu Tie looked sideways and was shocked by Li Yao's hand on his shoulder!He has never seen a man with such beautiful hands, and he feels that these hands are so noble that people dare not touch them.

At this moment, an unbearable pain hit Liu Tie's strange muscles and eight meridians, making him raise his eyes in shock and wanted to stand up, but his legs felt like they were not his and he couldn't stand up.Then, when he met Li Yao's eyes, an inexplicable fear and coercion made him lower his head suddenly, and he couldn't help but say frightened words: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have offended the master, please show mercy."

Li Yao immediately let go of his hand and patted his shoulder gently. His voice was neither urgent nor slow, and he said softly: "Get up! Rong Yue is my wife, and Rong Bao is my biological son. Please take a detour when you see them in the future."

Liu Tie was finally able to stand up, but he was still frightened and his legs were still trembling. He glanced at Li Yao, then lowered his head in fear and said, "Yes, I'm leaving." After saying that, he turned around and didn't even look back. He walked away, almost running away, as if he was afraid that if he left a moment late, he would never be able to leave again.

"What a useless thing! He didn't know how to fight for the marriage that was already arranged for him, and he took advantage of others in vain." Wu Fangfang cursed unwillingly at Liu Tie.

However, since Liu Tie, the person involved, had left, everyone had nothing to watch, and the villagers also dispersed.

Chen Quanxiu's family also had to leave, but when they returned home, they all looked sad and ran away collectively in the house.

Yang first said with a gloomy face: "I don't know where that person came from, but he actually wants to recognize that little bitch Rong Bao. Could it be that he is really the father of that little bitch, or is he the stinky beggar from back then?"

Wu Fangfang also stormed in the room: "What can we do? Mrs. Rong wants us to marry her to a countryman. Now, that person is from the capital, isn't Rong Yue going back to Beijing? Mrs. Rong Will they take back our money? Blame us for our incompetence in doing things?" Chen Quanxiu sneered: "Mrs. Rong means to let us marry her off. Now that she is recruiting a man, she can be considered married in the countryside. As for that one, although He looks good on the outside, but what kind of good man can he be if he is willing to be his home-brother-in-law? Even if he comes from Shangjing, he is probably a greedy person."

Yang slapped her thigh: "Yes! Let me see, maybe he is really that stinky beggar. Maybe he heard that Miss Rong had given birth to a child for him, so he stole some money from somewhere and dressed himself up. After a while, Rong Yue and Rong Bao came to Rong Yue and Rong Bao like dogs, wanting to be the son-in-law of the Duke's palace, so that they could spend the rest of their lives eating and drinking."

Wu Fangfang: "Yes! That's it. He got a little injured on the way and said he was robbed of money by bandits. In fact, he was penniless and just a beggar."

"So, we have completed the task assigned to us by Mrs. Rong. Anyway, Rong Jing will return to Beijing soon, and Rong Yue and Rong Bao will still be taken back to Beijing sooner or later. That has nothing to do with us. We Just return Liu Tie's ten taels of silver. What do we worry about the rest?"

"According to me, Mrs. Rong's biological daughter Rong Wan already occupied the magpie's nest and became the crown princess two years ago. Even if Rong Yue returns to Beijing now, it has already been a foregone conclusion. Can she still change the world? Go back. , it’s nothing more than a laughing stock.”

"That's why Mrs. Rong allowed mother and son to live until now."

"This is to let her live well and live well, not, for example, die, which will be embarrassing!"

After the family figured out a lot of things that they had and didn't have, they felt calm and relaxed, and felt that there was no need to worry.

On Rong Yue's side, after everyone left, she folded the marriage certificate and put it away. She said to Li Yao with great satisfaction: "From now on, I will be fully responsible for Mr. Li's diet and daily life. Excuse me, Mr. Li. Can you carry some silver with you?"

Li Yao's cheeks turned a thin layer of redness at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was slightly shy, indicating that he was also shy at the moment.This is actually because he always takes the Wind Shadow and Snow Shadow among the Eight Shadow Guards with him when he goes out.Xueying has always been in charge of money matters, and he rarely carries money with him.

Seeing that his face was shy and he didn't move for a long time, Rong Yue guessed something and couldn't help laughing: "No money? Don't tell me, you were really robbed by a bandit. If you really meet a bandit, what will happen to you?" I'm afraid your clothes have been taken off long ago. Also, you're still wearing a jade pendant, and the bandits won't be polite to you."

Li Yao reacted quickly at this time. He immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Rong Yue: "You can pawn this jade pendant first. In the future, I will find a way to solve the money problem for you."

Rong Yue took the jade pendant, weighed it in her hands, looked at it, and was a little surprised: "This is an excellent piece of Hetian jade. The jade quality is exquisite, the gloss is high, the color is pure white, and there is no trace of color. You are like this Toss it lightly, do you really want me to pawn it? Are you a bit of a loser?"
