Chapter 107 No Way Back
Mr. Li walked over quickly, grabbed Madam Li's wrist and was about to walk into the yard. While pulling her forcefully, he began to persuade her, "There must be a misunderstanding here."
Mrs. Li didn't believe it. She had lost her son, so why should she care about the Li or Chu family? No matter how well the family developed, it would not be her share. After today, her fate might be uncertain.
Madam Li didn't know where she got so much strength from, she directly shook off Master Li's hand, "Master, the one who died was your legitimate son. Master, don't you even have a heart to be fair to him?"
"Are you still worthy of being called his biological father? Are you still worthy of being a father?"
Mrs. Li's repeated questions made the people shed tears. This was the most powerless cry of a mother at this moment.
"She was the one who killed my son. We have witnesses and physical evidence. What about you? You knew it clearly, but you still chose your family and your sister. Should my son's death be in vain?"
Master Li's blood rushed to his head, and he covered his chest and almost couldn't breathe. A few silver threads appeared in his originally black hair.
"Mother Lian, that's also my legitimate son. I only have him, but now it's like this. Can we go in and have a proper talk?"
"Well, take a look at those illegitimate children. If you like any of them, I'll register him under your name. From now on, he's your son, okay?"
Mr. Li knew that with so many people watching, he definitely couldn't rush in, otherwise it would be confirmed that his sister had killed his son.
The people were in chaos, saying all sorts of things.
"Is Madam Li crazy? She doesn't seem normal."
"Alas! The son I raised with great difficulty is gone just like that. Anyone would be sad."
"That's not right. I heard that the young master of the Li family went to the Duke's Mansion to steal something, was caught, and was beaten to death by people who thought he was a thief?"
"Then why do you say that it was the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang who killed him?"
Madam Li looked at Li Laoyao sadly and shook her head, "No, I don't want it. I already have a son. It's not like I can't have children. It's the other people who can't have children. She still wants—"
Before Mrs. Li could finish her words, the agile Mr. Li covered her mouth.
He whispered in Mrs. Li's ear, "Do you want to die? If you dare to say another word, we will divorce."
Although Mr. Li's voice was low, everyone still heard a little bit of it. What kind of secret was there that couldn't be told in front of everyone and yet they were threatened with divorce?
Madam Li looked at Master Li in shock, "You want to divorce me? My son is gone, my dowry is gone, and you want to divorce me now? Okay, okay, I know. I knew that returning to the Li family would not end well. Now I'm not afraid."
"Li Mu, remember, your Li family was built on the dowry I lent you. Now you want to kick me out? It doesn't matter. My dowry has been registered with the prefect. Return all my dowry to me, we'll sign the divorce agreement, and I'll leave right away."
The people were in an uproar. This was too shameless. Seeing that the family was old and ugly, and their son had died, and they had spent all their dowry, now they were kicking them out. Is this fair?
When Mrs. Li heard Madam Li talking about the dowry, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, this is really a misunderstanding. Otherwise, please come into the mansion first and I will explain it to you slowly."
Li wanted to get closer to Madam Li, but Madam Li took a feather duster and hit her face with it with all her might.
In an instant, the boundary between Chu and Han became clear on Li's left cheek, with a blood-red wound in the middle.
Li screamed and subconsciously covered the wound with her hand. Seeing the bright red on her hand, she was stunned. "Li Lianniang, are you crazy?"
Madam Li snorted coldly, "When you did those things, didn't you think about the consequences now?"
When Li Ma and Zhilan and several other maids saw this, they hurried forward to protect Li behind them.
Madam Li raised her feather duster and lashed at Nanny Li, "You old fool, you didn't see clearly who your master is. Your indenture is still in my hands. The people of the Li family eat our food and drink our water. Now you have put out the fire of our Li family."
"You didn't even try to stop me. I think you don't want to live anymore."
Mrs. Li glanced at the people behind her. The people behind her turned around and left, emitting a cold aura from their bodies. It was obvious from the way they walked that they were not ordinary people.
Nanny Li was beaten so badly that her whole body was covered with wounds. The Marquis could no longer sit in the study and walked towards the main gate with the servant.
When I got to the door, I saw Li Ma'am being beaten by Madam Li.
Lord Chu walked outside the door and glanced at Master Li who was still standing beside him. Master Li quickly lowered his head and pretended to be a quail. He tugged at the corner of Madam Li's clothes and said, "Madam, the Lord is here."
Madam Li immediately shook his hand away and started to fight Master Li, "You coward! If I had known you were such a coward, I shouldn't have married you."
"If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have given my dowry away. Now you're standing in front of my son's enemy, and you don't dare to say a word. To say you're a man is unworthy of the extra two pounds of flesh on your body."
After saying that, Madam Li raised her hand towards Nanny Li and started beating her hard. It was obvious that she didn't want to leave Nanny Li alive.
"Since you don't know who your master is and don't know how to stop him when something happens, then what's the point of keeping you here?"
Marquis Chu stood aside and watched, and Madam Li did not give him any face at all.
"Alright! Since he's a servant of your Li family, take him away. You can punish him however you want."
Nanny Li looked at Lord Chu in surprise, then turned to Li with a pleading look, "Madam, save me, Madam, save me."
Li looked at Lord Chu and said, "Master, this Nanny Li has always been by my side. Although her body is indentured to the Li family, she is still mine."
Lord Chu looked at Li coldly, "If you don't want to, then you can go back to the Li family."
Li immediately shut her mouth. If she went back to the Li family, it would be difficult for her to come back. Seeing her sister-in-law like this, she was afraid that even if she went back to the Li family, her life would not be easy.
"Let's go inside and talk. I promise I'll give you an explanation."
Madam Li looked at Marquis Chu. He was not talking about the Li family, but about her. She reluctantly believed him.
Madam Li glanced at the crowd, then at Nanny Li, and soon, several people took Nanny Li away.
"Take them directly back to my Zhao family. Also, let my father and brother take people to the Li family to wait for me, and bring everyone who needs to be brought." After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she glanced at Nanny Li and gestured a rectangle with her hand.
Mr. Li felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Madam Li in disbelief. "We've been married for so many years, are you really going to divorce me just because of this?"
Madam Li snorted coldly and led the way into the Marquis' Mansion.
After everyone went in, the sound of people watching the fun could be heard from the wall of the Marquis' Mansion, mixed with the sound of people cracking melon seeds and occasionally the sound of people vomiting.
"Master, this Madam Li is so cool, I like her, she is really awesome, if I were her, I really wouldn't be able to do what she is doing now."
"Master, does she really want a divorce?"
Chu Ci looked at Madam Li's back with envy. "Madam Li was able to act so decisively. I'm afraid the Zhao family gave her a lot of support behind the scenes. And with her making such a fuss, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Li family anymore."
