Chapter 274 The child can’t be saved
As Longkodo's concubine, what's wrong with sitting at the concubine's table?
But that is for others, but for Li Si'er, it is an absolute insult.
After all, she thought that if she had not been born into a poor family and had not been snatched away from his father-in-law by Longkodo, she could at least have been a concubine.
Once Hesheli is gone, it won't be surprising to have someone become the legitimate heir.
But her origins were so shameful that it was impossible to mention it.
The less you get, the more you care.
Li Si'er...is crazy.
Her whip indiscriminately whipped everyone present.
Not to mention the servants in the VIP building, even two guests from other houses were drawn.
When Madam Tong arrived, her eyes were red and she wanted to settle the score with Lin Mingyan.
Madam Tong knew Tong Jia's abilities, especially Longkodo's influence, and was afraid that it would affect Lin Mingyan.
He admitted it and said, "Madam Li, it was my fault that I made a mistake and failed to distinguish it carefully."
"The host was too busy during the banquet, and everyone else had invitations and had their seats arranged long ago."
"When you came here, I couldn't find a place, so I arranged one for you..."
Madam Tong's original intention was to accept it, as the nobles would never bother with a servant like her.
After all, those who open businesses don't make mistakes of principle.
Even if she's not satisfied with the seat, she's had a great day eating and drinking, so a few words of scolding will be enough.
But Li Si'er cannot be guessed by common sense, she will really beat people to death.
After hearing this, Li Si'er transferred all his hatred towards Lin Mingyan to Madam Tong.
"You, a slave, dare to mock me?!" Her whip flew and she ordered, "Hold her down!"
Madam Tong was whipped first, and then begged for mercy: "Madam Li, I didn't..."
But she could no longer hear, and no matter how much Madam Tong tried to explain herself, it was all deaf to her.
One whip, two whips, three whips...
The whips hit Madam Tong with a sharp sound of breaking wind.
Madam Tong is not stupid. She wanted to run away as soon as she realized something was wrong.
But the two tall servants beside Li Si'er pinned her down so that she couldn't run away.
"Ahh~~"
"Help~~"
The guests outside had not yet left when Madam Tong's screams spread out and some curious people came to check.
Only after calling the security guards from the VIP residence did Li Sier stop.
However, Li Si'er could not stay. Longkodo's men came over and left leisurely without even an apology.
Madam Tong had fainted. The last thing she saw out of the corner of her eye was Li Si'er leaving in a haughty manner, and Youjie rushing over.
Li Wei was working at the Ministry of Revenue today, and he knew that VIP Residence would be busy until very late, so he came straight here after finishing his shift.
I didn't expect that before I even entered the door, I heard that the owner of VIP House had been whipped.
He rushed over, but saw only his wife lying there covered in blood, while the murderer left unharmed.
"Cui Niang!" Li Wei's eyes were red with anger, and he cried while hugging the unconscious Madam Tong.
The doctor arrived quickly. After taking the patient's pulse, he shook his head and sighed, "The skin wound is not serious, but..."
"But what?" Li Wei's heart sank.
The doctor said, "You can't save the child. Take good care of it, otherwise you will have trouble having children in the future."
Li Wei's heart sank to the bottom. He and Cui Niang had been married for so long without any news, and he had been looking forward to the arrival of the child.
But this child came when they didn't know, and left in such a hurry.
He wiped away his tears and said, "Doctor, please keep it a secret and don't tell my wife."
"Please use the best medicine. Money is not a problem."
After sending the doctor away and personally applying medicine to Madam Tong, Li Wei went to sit on the steps outside the house.
He lost his father when he was young, and his family property was robbed by his relatives. He followed his mother and wandered like a beggar all the way to the capital.
When I went to the Tong family to confirm the marriage, I had actually thought of the worst-case scenario.
He looks like this and has nothing. Which girl would be willing to marry him?
However, she didn't expect that Cui Niang didn't despise him at all. She accepted the marriage and let him live with his mother in Tong's house.
He didn't receive much education and couldn't even recognize all the words, but Cui Niang didn't mind.
When he had no money, Cui Niang taught him personally. When he had money, she hired a famous teacher for him.
It was also Cui Niang’s credit that she was able to get along with the Fourth Prince.
But what abilities does Li Wei have?
He watched helplessly as the murderer who beat Cui Niang left brazenly, and didn't even dare to step forward to stop him.
Now, their first child has left without a trace.
If Cui Niang knew about this, she would be worse than dead.
Li Wei's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He used to think that as long as he could be a small official, he could live a happy life with his family.
Now, a fire was burning in his eyes.
He wants to climb up!
To stand out!
We must make them pay with blood!
Li Wei sat on the steps until midnight, and heard Madam Tong's low moans from inside.
He quickly wiped his tears and ran inside.
Madam Tong looked a little weak, with pale lips, and her eyes were filled with tears when she saw him.
"Youjie, don't cry," Madam Tong endured the pain and persuaded her husband not to cry.
Li Wei suppressed his sadness and grabbed her relatively intact left hand and said, "No, don't cry. Cui Niang, you have to help you get better soon."
"I'm fine. I just got beaten. I've been beaten before when people came to collect debts," Madam Tong said casually, "You should go to bed soon. You have to be on duty tomorrow."
Li Wei no longer had the mind to think about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. He wanted to devote all his heart to her.
"I've taken a leave of absence and will stay at home with you tomorrow," Li Wei said with regret.
He thought that if he took a leave of absence today to help, he could go and help Madam Tong get beaten.
Madam Tong quickly said, "No! This is a job you have worked so hard to get, you must not slack off!"
She had long seen that Li Wei was not good at studying, and the reason she still persuaded him to study was because she was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
Now that I have finally managed to get a position with the help of the concubine, I must keep it stable no matter what.
Li Wei saw that she was getting angry, and fearing that there would be more trouble, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go on duty tomorrow, don't worry."
Madam Tong endured all her injuries and talked to Li Wei for a while.
She also told him not to disturb Lin Mingyan: "Tomorrow is the first birthday party of the legitimate prince. The concubine is already upset enough, don't disturb her."
"My injury is minor and will heal after some rest."
Li Wei nodded with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stayed awake until dawn, then got up and went to the Ministry of Revenue...
