The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 239 Threat

"Xia Xia." Patriarch Li frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xia Xia, what are you talking about?"

"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense." Li Xia Xia stepped forward and said, "Jin is just a concubine. How can she be qualified to be the head mistress of the Li family?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Let your father and grandfather decide." The head of the Li family glanced at her and said, "You will be married soon. It is better not to worry about the affairs of the mansion. Also, when the shopkeeper Shang comes tomorrow, you can say that you are sick and cannot see guests. Let your brother go to greet her on your behalf."

When Li Xia Xia heard this, his heart sank. He didn't expect that his father had made up his mind from the beginning.

"Dad!" Li Xia Xia wanted to argue, but the head of the Li family showed impatience and winked at the servants at the door. They understood what he meant and walked up to Li Xia Xia and whispered, "Miss, please go back to your yard."

Li Xia Xia's eyes were full of disappointment: "Dad, are you really going to make Jin your wife?"

"I'm telling you, from today on, the affairs of this mansion have nothing to do with you, so just stay in the yard and prepare to get married!" He waved his hand, and the servant at the door took Li Xia Xia back to the yard.

"What are you doing! Let go!" She shouted angrily, "Do you still have the rules? How dare you use force against your master! Believe it or not, I will beat you with a stick!"

"Miss, you'd better take care of yourself. I'm just following the orders of the head of the family." He sneered and looked at her with a provocative look: "Didn't you understand what the master said? From now on, the entire Li family will belong to the eldest young master, and it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door being locked.

Li Xia Xia's heart tightened: "What are you doing? Open the door! Open the door!"

"Miss, the master said that from today on, you will stay in your own courtyard and wait for your wedding. When you are ready to get married, he will let you out."

"Open the door! Open the door!" She slammed the door hard, but the only response she got was the whistling cold wind.

She fell to the ground, and the maid beside her came forward and helped her up: "Miss, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Li Xia Xia turned a deaf ear to it, and couldn't help but recall what Shang Ruoyi once said: Make yourself stronger!

Yes, it seems that now she can't rely on anyone and can only become strong herself.

She turned to the maid beside her and said, "We must find a way to find grandpa. Grandpa is the only one who can save me right now."

"Miss, the old master went to the temple early yesterday morning and said he would be back at noon tomorrow."

"Tomorrow at noon." She murmured, "It's too late. Everything is too late."

The head of the Li family said to Li Quan, "Tomorrow, Madam Shang will come. You must seize the opportunity. Your grandfather is not at home. Sell more silver and make up for the deficit in the account."

"Don't worry, Dad. I won't embarrass you."

The head of the Li family patted his shoulder, smiled and said, "From now on, Dad will hand over all the Li family to you."

The next morning, Shang Ruoyi came to the Li family.

Li Quan was waiting at the door. When he saw the carriage stopped, he hurried to greet it and said, "Madam Shang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shang Ruoyi got out of the car, wearing an extremely rare fox fur cloak, which was snow-white without a single stray hair.

She looked behind Li Quan, but there was no trace of Li Xia Xia. She raised her lips slightly and asked, "Where's Xia Xia?"

Shang Ruoyi didn't know that with this smile of hers, Chai almost took away Li Quan's soul.

Shaoyao looked at Li Quan's lustful expression, walked forward and blocked his sight: "Our young lady is asking you a question! Where is Miss Li?"

Li Quan finally came back to his senses, smiled and said, "My sister has caught a cold these days and is not feeling well. I'm afraid she can't come out to chat with Madam Shang."

"Are you sick? A cold?"

"That's right." Li Quan smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Madam Shang, please come in. I will lead the way for you."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Let's go!"

Seeing that she did not turn around and leave, Li Quan thought that today's matter would definitely be accomplished, and he was very excited.

Taking her to the main hall, the head of the Li family was sitting in the main seat waiting.

Seeing his son bringing Shang Ruoyi in, his face lit up with joy and he hurried forward: "Madam Shang, please don't blame me for not welcoming you from afar."

"Master Li, you are too polite. I feel very sorry for bothering you so soon after the New Year."

"You are so polite!" The head of the Li family said with a smile, "You have come all the way here, so we must do our best to be a good host. We know that you have a deep relationship with Xia Xia, and she should have hosted you personally today, but Beiling is too cold. The girl said she was not feeling well when she came back from Tianshun. She fell ill just after the New Year."

"I see. That's really unfortunate." Shang Ruoyi said softly, "But it doesn't matter. You two may not know that I am proficient in medicine. I can go and take a look at her. With my medicine, she may get better soon."

When the Li father and son heard this, they were shocked. How could this be possible?

If we let her go, won't the whole thing be exposed?

"Hey, Madam Shang." Patriarch Li blocked her way with a smile on his face: "Madam Shang, I guess Xia Xia has rested by now. If you want to take a look, it won't be too late to take a look after we finish our business!"

"Did Patriarch Li forget?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "I won't do the Dongzhu clam business with anyone except Xia Xia."

Patriarch Li's face suddenly darkened: "Madam Shang, why don't you listen to my kind advice?" He said with a hint of impatience: "Don't forget, your current status does not allow you to leave Tianshun's place of exile at will!"

A cold light flashed in Shang Ruoyi's eyes. She turned around and took a step forward, her eyes full of disdain: "Yes! Normally I really shouldn't leave, but think about it, how can I come and go freely? Could it be that I relied on luck?"

Her words shocked the head of the Li family. Yes! She was a criminal, but she could come and go freely in Beiling. How could this be something that ordinary people could do?

He smiled again, and before he could speak, Shang Ruoyi continued, "I heard that the young master of the Li family has some special hobbies." Her eyes fell on Li Quan, "He owes a lot of money in casinos and underground banks. There are probably 30,000 taels in the open account!"

"Except for the casino." Shang Ruoyi looked at the Li family father and son's suddenly ugly faces and said with a smile: "It seems that there are still 20,000 taels in the underground bank! The interest rate of the underground bank is not low!"

The head of the Li family looked at his son with a very serious look. He never expected that his son still owed money to the underground bank.

At this moment, even if he loved the Li family so much, he didn't dare to gamble with the future of the entire Li family.

"Is what Shopkeeper Shang said true?"

"Master Li can personally check whether what I said is true or not."
