The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 405 Reversal

Hanhan glanced at Lord Li, then cleared his throat and said.

"Master Li, is Miss Li okay now?"

The eldest son's sudden and unexplained words shocked Lord Li.

"What is the eldest master talking about?" Lord Li asked in surprise.

Hanhan glanced at Lord Li, and then suddenly an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Oh, forget it, Master Li doesn't know."

He didn't say anything in this sentence, but it contained a lot of information.

Thinking back to what happened before, the eldest son's clothes were all wet, and his daughter's clothes were also wet. What's more important is that the eldest son's outer robe was placed at the head of his daughter's bed.

"Young Master, what happened?" Lord Li couldn't help but ask.

Hanhan glanced at Lord Li, and then said with an unnatural expression: "Lord Li, you should ask Miss Li about this matter. She doesn't allow me to tell anyone, and I naturally don't want to damage her reputation."

After he said this, Lord Li's expression naturally became even uglier.

"What exactly happened? I hope you can tell me clearly, otherwise I will go to the palace and ask the prince."

As a father, how could he ask his daughter such questions?

Hanhan: "Since Lord Li insists on asking, I can only tell Lord Li the truth."

"To tell you the truth, Miss Li was given an aphrodisiac by Yu Shichang yesterday. I saw that Yu Shichang looked hurried, so I followed him to Miss Li's boudoir."

"When Yu Shichang was about to do something wrong, I showed up in time and beat him away."

"However, at this moment, Miss Li's aphrodisiac had taken effect and her outer clothes had fallen off."

"In order to prevent the guests from seeing Miss Li like this, I took Miss Li to the river."

"Miss Li was soaked in the river water for an hour before the effect of the medicine on her body wore off."

"It's just that during this period, it's inevitable that Miss Li and I will have physical contact. After all, Miss Li can't swim. Even if she's in a river half her height, she can't stand steadily."

"To be honest, Miss Li and I did have a lot of physical contact, and during that time... Miss Li's outer clothes were still taken off."

When Lord Li heard this, he didn't know for a moment whether he should be grateful to him or scold him.

Hanhan: "Actually, I can take responsibility, but Miss Li has not allowed me to tell anyone. For a moment, I don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Lord Li's expression instantly became even uglier.

"Shiyun is already engaged. If she really breaks off the engagement and then marries the eldest son, people in the capital will definitely scold the Li family for being snobbish."

"So please keep this secret, my Lord. I will come to your house with a valuable gift some other day to personally express my gratitude."

Hanhan thought that since he said so, he would definitely promise Li Shiyun to marry him.

Who would have known that the father and daughter had such similar personalities? They are indeed father and daughter, and they think about problems from the same perspective.

Han Han said with a sullen face and gritted teeth: "Master Li should also know that I have always wanted to marry Li Shiyun."

Lord Li: "It's really unfortunate. If you were one step faster than others, this would have been accomplished."

Hanhan: "The most important thing is that Lord Li doesn't want to be branded as someone who clings to the powerful."

Lord Li: "Zuo Jizhong is a good person. He is a person worthy of Shiyun's entrustment for life."

Hanhan was naturally disappointed when he heard this. It turned out that love is so cruel.

Hanhan's face was black when he left the Shangshu Yamen.

He just didn't believe it, and he couldn't marry this person.

Zuo Jizhong is good, right? He wants to see how good he is.

So he sent people directly to investigate Zuo Jizhong's hometown.

However, after checking, he found out that Zuo Jizhong actually had a child marriage in his hometown.

Zuo Jizhong only had an old mother, who was also brought to the capital.

Because Zuo Jizhong became a high-ranking official, her mother took the initiative to cancel the child engagement.

But the girl was already 19 years old, and she was already an old maid, so she couldn't find a suitable husband for the time being.

Hanhan ordered his men to bring the girl, who was married as a child, to the capital.

Then he gave her some silver and asked her to go to the streets and tell the people in the capital about this matter.

After the woman received the silver, her eyes began to sparkle.

She had been holding her anger and wanted to make trouble for a long time, but she was afraid that Zuo Jizhong was now a high-ranking official, so she felt she could not afford to offend him.

Now that she saw someone backing her up and offering her money, she naturally couldn't bear it for a moment.

The woman kept crying and shouting in the streets, saying that Zuo Jizhong had broken off the engagement and ruined her life.

This matter spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of Lord Li.

Li Shiyun naturally also heard the remarks about Zuo Jizhong from the servants.

She had never liked Zuo Jizhong that much to begin with, and now that she heard these rumors about him, she naturally felt even more uncomfortable.

She found her father and wanted to hear his opinion and see how to solve the problem.

Lord Li felt that his daughter was no longer a child, and if he delayed any further, she would really become an old maid.

Li Shiyun naturally knew about this. Looking at her father's sad face, she had to swallow her words when she wanted to cancel the engagement.

However, the next day, Zuo Jizhong's childhood sweetheart blocked the door of Li's house and made a scene.

Zuo Jizhong was punished and could not come out to deal with the matter for a while, which also attracted countless people to watch the fun.

The woman sat at the gate of Li's mansion, crying and wailing, asking Miss Li to return her husband to her.

When the people saw this scene, they couldn't help but begin to sympathize with this woman.

The Li family was regarded by the people as evil people who stole other people's husbands.

Li Shiyun was naturally extremely angry. At this point, Lord Li couldn't even leave the door, let alone cancel the engagement.

Just as everyone was talking, the eldest son suddenly came.

He gave the woman a gold ingot. When the woman saw the gold, she hurried away in shame.

The people didn't expect that the eldest master would come personally to help Miss Li out of her predicament. At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke.

"Actually, the eldest master has always been fond of Miss Li, but Miss Li was previously slandered by Mr. Yu for seeking to curry favor with the powerful. In order to prove her innocence, she rejected the eldest master's proposal."

"The eldest son was so heartbroken that he has been rejecting all marriage proposals over the years."

Miss Li also became notorious because of what happened before, so she decided to get engaged to Zuo Jizhong, who came from a humble background, but ended up meeting a scumbag again. "

"Oh, if that's the case, these two really are a pair of lovers!"

"Anyway, the eldest master definitely has feelings for Miss Li. Even if Miss Li has feelings for the eldest master, she can't marry him because of what happened before."

"This is actually all Yu Shichang's fault. He is not only dishonest, but also throws dirty water on Miss Li."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Lovers should be together forever."

"Yes, lovers should finally get married."

After Hanhan sent the woman away, he went straight into Li's mansion.
