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

Chapter 306 Fight back

It seems that my granddaughter is different from others.

It seems like he can plan everything out.

After protecting the Li family from wind and rain for so many years, this is the first time he has enjoyed care from others.

The news that the Eastern Pearl Clams had been stolen spread throughout the entire Beiling capital.

Upon hearing this, Zhang He excitedly ran to Madam Zhang's yard.

"Mom! Have you heard? The Li family has fallen!"

"Hmph! They deserved it!" Madam Zhang spat. "That day they humiliated me in every way and brought disgrace to our Zhang family. Today, I will let them have a taste of their own medicine."

She moved her chubby body and stood up: "Go and get the engagement token from Miss Li."

Judging from the situation, the engagement will be officially cancelled today.

"Mom, now that the Li family has fallen, it would be very difficult for Li Xia Xia to get married. But the master said that her horoscope brings good luck to me, so my son thought it would be better to marry her. The pearl oysters of their Li family have been stolen, but their other properties are still there, and they are worth a lot of money!" The most important thing is that Li Xia Xia has a beautiful and charming face. When he got engaged to her, he was attracted by her appearance.

"Silly son, why are you so stubborn!" Madam Zhang tapped his forehead vigorously: "The Li family can no longer become an imperial merchant without Dongzhu. They are just a poor family. What qualifications do they have to be the mistress of our Li family? It's better to bring her back as a concubine." Madam Zhang's eyes flashed with calculation: "You are going to be the prime minister, so you must marry a lady from an official family, a legitimate lady in the future!"

Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard this.

Why didn’t I think of this?

He said with a little excitement: "It turns out that mother is thoughtful."

"Humph! Let's go to the Li family to see what's going on!"

When they arrived at the door of Li's house, they saw two servants carrying boxes out.

"Oh!" Madam Zhang put her handkerchief to her lips and laughed out loud without disguising, "What happened? Was the house confiscated?" Without waiting for the servant to report, she stepped into the gate and asked in a cold voice, "Is the head of the Li family still alive?"

Li Xia Xia was just directing the servants to move things in the courtyard. When she heard such impudent words, she turned around and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"You are such an uneducated girl. Not only do you not show courtesy to your elders, but you also dare to speak to me like that. You are truly a lowly bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by her."

Li Xia Xia clenched her fists when she heard that. If she didn't want to cause any more trouble, she would have raised her hand and slapped him.

At this moment, Shang Ruoyi's voice sounded from not far away: "Shaoyao, slap your mouth."

Shaoyao strode forward, and when no one reacted, she quickly raised her hand and slapped Madam Zhang in the face.

"Snapped!"

Maids from wealthy families have a lot of rules about slapping someone in the face.

With one slap, the face would swell up instantly. Shaoyao used all her strength, and blood was oozing from the corners of Mrs. Zhang's lips.

Zhang He came to his senses and raised his hand to hit Shaoyao, but a big hand grabbed his hand tightly.

"You are tired of living, so you dare to touch anyone." Ah Cheng's eyes were full of coldness. He exerted force with his hands, and Zhang He let out a pig-killing howl.

"Ah Cheng."

After hearing Shang Ruoyi's words, Ah Cheng let go of his hand.

Zhang He held his hand that was nearly broken by the pinch and said in a trembling voice: "You, you dare to hit me!"

"I'll beat you up if I want to. Why do you still need to bathe, burn incense, and choose an auspicious day?"

"I am a scholar!" he shouted loudly: "Scholar!"

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows that your Zhang family has a scholar." Shang Ruoyi snorted coldly: "You said it too, he's just a scholar, not the top scholar, nor the prime minister. You keep talking about the scholar all day long. You are really useless." She glanced at the Zhang family: "Wait until you become the prime minister, then show off! You are embarrassing."

"You!" Mrs. Zhang covered her face and shouted, "I'm going to file a complaint! I'm going to file a complaint with the emperor! The Li family actually beat up the scholar's mother in public!"

"Go to Gao!" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Our Li family also has something to say to the prefect. I want to ask, this playboy of your Li family, who has taken concubines before marrying a wife, and more than one, how can he be qualified to become a scholar? How can he continue to take the imperial examinations and become a role model for students all over the world?"

Shang Ruoyi's words hit the Zhang family directly in the heart.

The most important thing for the Zhang family now is Zhang He’s future.

If he could not take the imperial examination for some reason, then he would be completely finished.

The Zhang family is just a common people and can only hope that Zhang He can make a name for himself. If his future is ruined, the Zhang family will be finished.

Knowing the intricacies of this matter well, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to swallow her anger.

Zhang He also stopped and just stared at Shang Ruoyi.

"You haven't told me why you came to my Li family today." Shang Ruoyi said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, get out of here and don't get in the way."

Madam Zhang gathered her outer robe and raised her chin slightly: "We are here today to return the token of love." She reached out and took out the jade pendant from the box: "This is the jade pendant I exchanged with your Li family when we got engaged. It has your daughter's surname and birth date on it."

The maid behind Li Xia Xia stepped forward and was about to take the jade pendant. At this moment, Madam Zhang loosened her grip on the jade pendant, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"you!"

"Ouch, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped and the jade pendant broke."

Li Xia Xia stepped forward and was about to argue with her, but Shang Ruoyi stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Pick it up." Shang Ruoyi's voice was cold.

Madam Zhang looked nonchalant: "I just won't pick it up, what can you do to me?" She sneered: "Do you think the Li family is the same as before?"

"I'll say it one last time, pick it up."

Madam Zhang raised her chin and said disdainfully, "Dream on. Your Li family is now a ruined family. If you are sensible, our Zhang family can take your daughter as a concubine. If you are not sensible, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to find a husband."

Shang Ruoyi stepped forward, her eyes full of coldness: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Ah Cheng, invite the prefect here and tell him that someone broke our Li family's fine warm jade and refused to admit it. Please ask the prefect to come and deal with it impartially."

"Yes!"

Ah Cheng took the order and left.

When he reached the door, he closed it behind him.

Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi raised the corners of her lips slightly. As expected of her subordinate, he had good eyesight.

Before the Zhang family could react to what was happening, they saw her wave her hand and several guards approached.

"Someone comes to our Li family to cause trouble. How should we deal with it?"

"Of course I will fight back."
