The evil daughter-in-law of the peasant family in the splendid pastoral

Chapter 22: Sleepless Night
Su Qingyao took a step forward, bowed to him, and said, "I've written down today's life-saving grace, but I have a question in my mind, so I ask Li Xiucai to clarify it."

Li Xiucai took a deep look at Su Qingyao. In fact, no matter how beautiful a woman is, when she is unkempt, there is no beauty at all. Su Qingyao escaped through the fire and ran among the cattle. In Li Xiucai's eyes, this appearance has another charm.He said, "Madam Su, please tell me."

Su Qingyao only felt that Li Xiucai's eyes were shining, like shining stars in the dark night. She sighed in her heart, although this man's character is not very good, he looks good enough, it's a pity...

"May I ask Li Xiucai, why did you show up with the cattle in the middle of the night? Did you just save me?"

Li Chengcai had already guessed that Su Qingyao would ask such a question just now, he thought for a while and said, "Miss Su, this matter is a long story."

Su Qingyao hurriedly said: "Then you can make a long story short."

Li Chengcai nodded and said: "I was tired from studying tonight, so I just went out for a walk. Who knew that I saw the fire burning in the hospital, so I hurried over to save people. When Mr. Li led a group of people to surround you, Mrs. Su, it happened that the family next to me had a good relationship with me, so I borrowed his cattle." After speaking, he saw that Su Qingyao didn't believe it, so he explained: " Those cows won't run far, the cattle raiser in that family's house is watching from not far away."

Only then did Su Qingyao believe it. No matter what, they saved her. There was no need to get to the bottom of their affairs. She nodded, took Xiao Hua to the door, took out the key and opened the door, and waited for them to enter. When Su Qingyao closed the door, she saw that Li Xiucai had gone far away.

Su Qingyao cast a complicated glance at the distant figure.

Back in the house, even though they were tired and sleepy, the two of them had no sleepiness.Xiao Hua was still unwilling to let go of the burden in her arms until now. Su Qingyao knew that she was afraid of losing it, so she simply did not persuade her to let it go. Su Qingyao leaned on the couch and closed her eyes to rest. Won't you set fire to this place as well?"

Su Qingyao opened her eyes quickly when she heard the words, and said, "No way! Don't worry!"

The worry and fear in Xiao Hua's eyes didn't fade away at all.Su Qingyao sighed and said, "Xiao Hua, they don't have such courage. Don't worry, Sister Su promises you."

Xiaohua looked at Su Qingyao suspiciously, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Su said yes, that's it." Su Qingyao boiled hot water, and the two of them took a bath. Xiaohua lay on the bed and closed her eyes soon. Asleep, Su Qingyao covered her with the quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy.

How did things turn out like this?Su Qingyao couldn't figure it out.But there is one thing she can be sure of. Li Changde set off the fire tonight. Dr. Li was indeed killed by someone sent by Mr. Li. As for the reason, could it be that Mr. Li knew something, Mr. Li wanted to kill someone?Apart from this reason, Su Qingyao couldn't think of any other possibility.She felt that if she wanted to figure out this matter, she had to figure out how the child in Mr. Li's concubine's stomach disappeared, but how to figure it out?Su Qingyao walked around the room, feeling a little helpless.

On such a night, it is absolutely impossible that Su Qingyao is the only one who cannot sleep.When Li Xiucai returned home, he quietly returned to his room without disturbing anyone.It was just a coincidence that Li Lin just got up at night and saw the light in his room, so he put on his clothes and knocked on his door: "I say to become a talent, even if you need to read books, you must cherish your own bones." One o'clock? It's so late, you still not sleeping?"

Li Xiucai was in the room thinking about Su Qingyao in a daze. He was startled when he heard this, and quickly followed Li Lin's words: "Mom, I'm going to sleep right away, you go back!" He blew out the candle and crawled into bed in the dark.

Seeing his son obediently turning off the lights and going to sleep, Li Lin was very happy, and said: "The day after tomorrow is your wedding day, you should read and write less for these two days, and take a good rest! Work hard!" I'm not in a hurry." After speaking, Li Lin went back to the main house and fell asleep without waiting for his son to answer.

However, Li Chengcai was disturbed by these words. He was subconsciously unwilling to face this matter. There was no joy on his face that he was about to get married. He forgot how he was eagerly looking forward to this a few months ago. Now that the day is finally here, he is not happy at all, and even has deep remorse in his heart, but what's more, it is Su Qingyao's clear and beautiful eyes that are still clear and beautiful even in a mess. Every corner of my heart looked at him deeply, as if touching these eyes...

Besides, Li Changde, he never expected that he would make such a big battle, and almost all the servants and thugs were mobilized, and Su Qing, a bitch, was still allowed to escape. After scolding for a while, he led the people back unhappily.

Back home, the hall was brightly lit, and Mrs. Li was sitting upright in the hall without a trace of a smile on her face.The maids and women who waited around held feather dusters, embroidery needles, washboards and other things in their hands without exception.All stared at him covetously.As soon as Li Changde saw this battle, he immediately acted like a mouse seeing a cat, and stepped forward flatteringly to curry favor with Mrs. Li.I saw Young Mistress Li rolling her eyes and shouting: "Kneel down!" It was clearly a delicate voice, but in Li Changde's ears it sounded like thunder.

As soon as the words fell, a plop was heard, and Li Changde had already knelt down.Looking at his wife pitifully, this look is very similar to his vicious look in front of outsiders. If outsiders, such as Su Qingyao, see it, they will definitely be surprised.But Mrs. Li was not surprised at all, she was used to saying: "Where's that bitch's head?"

Li Changde said bitterly: "I'm about to catch her, who knows where a herd of cows rushed out and made her run away."

Young Mistress Li's face turned cold instantly: "There will be cows coming out to graze in the middle of the night? And you rescued that bitch? Li Changde, even if you make up a lie, you have to make up a decent one. What you say is a ghost I won't believe it!"

Li Changde said like an oath: "If I dare to lie to you, madam, I will be struck with thunder!"

Young Mistress Li gave him a sideways look, and said disdainfully, "How many times have you lied to me?"

Li Changde quickly said: "This time it's true, absolutely true!"

Young Mistress Li said slowly, "Oh? Which time was it fake?"

Li Changde: "..."

Young Mistress Li glanced at Li Changde, who was blushing anxiously and had a thick neck, and gave the left and right a look, but she stood up and walked towards the inner room.When Li Changde saw it, he couldn't take care of anything else. He was an imposing young master, and he walked over on his knees, hugged Mrs. Li's thigh, and cried heartbreakingly: "Ma'am! What I said is true ,I did not lie to you!"
