FH Chapter 58: 超级变脸术
[Super face-changing art]
Old Madam Li open mouth and said small hooves, closed mouth bitch seed, back and forth repeatedly on so few cursing words, Li Haitang impatiently listen to it, in the face of the Li family clamor and acting, she will consider herself as an outsider, do not spend tickets to see the clowns hopping around the show.
She originally intended to go home and rest for a period of time before looking for this group of people to settle the score, who would have expected to run into it like this. It seems that God also wants everything to happen in advance, and settle it sooner rather than later.
“Haitang, you…”
Li Qiu Ju reddened the corners of her eyes, looked closely, her eyes still hung with a smug smile, her face looked twisted and strange, “Grandma, take…take you…”
“Aiya, Qiu Ju, you take Li Haitang as your sister, but she doesn’t take you seriously.”
Liu crossed her arms and laughed coldly, “Haitang ah, did you elope with the wild man in the village?”
“Elopement can’t be taken seriously.”
Li Haitang thought about it, her stance is not right, she must face the crowd with a weak stance in order to gain sympathy, being tough will only lead to losses. She simply rubbed her eyes with her hands and wobbled out of the carriage.
Beauty, exactly, grief also carries one kind of beauty. The book said that the most expressive of grief is not crying, but the tears around the eyes, but clenched the corners of the mouth, strong not to let the tears fall, pear blossom bathed in the rain—tear-stained face of a beauty, charming, the most able to provoke outsiders’ sympathy and desire to protect.
Li Jin Hu was dumbfounded by his own big sister’s face-changing technique, wanting to smile but not daring to laugh, he could only lower his head and stand aside with his head hanging down.
“When my mother was alive, she betrothed me to Big Brother Xiao.”
Li Haitang said blindly with her eyes open, making up a smooth story, “My Grandma disliked that he was ugly and poor, and let me marry Mr. Qin to enjoy the blessings, but a good woman doesn’t have two marriages (marry once time only), how can I?!”
“Needless to say, Mrs. Li despised the poor and curry favor with the rich, sold her granddaughter ah!”
The surrounding people whispered, sympathizing with Li Haitang, while others praised her chastity.
“What bullshit, your mother would let you get betrothed to a wild man in the mountains?”
Old Mrs. Li looked at Li Haitang’s pretense, she was furious and cursed, “Little hoof you still want to elope with Widow Sun’s son, they don’t want you this loose woman, so you find an ugly one, you’re really capable!”
“Grandma, why are you saying this about me! I’m your own granddaughter ah!”
Li Haitang covered her face and crouched on the ground crying, the crowd of onlookers saw her crying and couldn’t help but speak up for her, “Little lady is so beautiful, even if she doesn’t have widow Sun’s son, she can still look for widow Li’s son, widow Zhao’s son, if it wasn’t for the marriage contract, she wouldn’t be with the wild man.”
Li Haitang’s body stiffened, she peeked through her fingers at the person who defended her, the corners of her mouth couldn’t stop twitching, she really wanted to ask, “Which village are you from, is your village so comforting?!”
Speaking as if she was a professional in harvesting widows’ sons!
“No matter what, you were sold to the Qin family, or a death contract, you are now a runaway slave. You… just wait for the officials to come and arrest you!”
Li Haitang’s sharp teeth, Li family members are no match, Liu stepped in and said bluntly, “The marriage is off, the death deed slave, everything about you is Master Qin’s call (decision).”
“What deed of sale, I didn’t sign it!”
Li Haitang’s body shook, leaning on Xiao Lingchuan’s body, her voice was soft, “Grandma, Auntie, cousin sister, my father and mother just died, in order to fulfill the marriage contract, I had no choice but to get married for filial piety, you guys are trying to force me to die!”
“This is black and white, it’s useless for you to deny it.”
Liu’s talking sarcasm, she saw someone leaving to find the officials, guessing that they will be here soon.
What’s the use of showing off, once the officials come, the truth will come out!
“You guys said I signed the deed of sale, don’t bluff me, I know, that one needs to be fingerprinted.”
It’s good to be hooked, and we won’t know who will be crying later!
Li Haitang covered her chest, a look of inconsolable grief, nothing left to live for, but in her heart, she was cursing, Damn, pretending to be a white lotus flower really needs skill! masculine woman like her has to continue practicing!
“You are Li Haitang?”
A few moments later, three officials came to the street, and more and more people were watching, tightly surrounding the carriage.
Xiao Lingchuan’s eyes were always on Li Haitang and never left, only when he looked at her did his cold eyes have temperature.
As for Li Jin Hu, he desperately looked for existence, he was ignored completely, no one mentioned him from beginning to end.
“Master, I am.”
Li Haitang wiped her tears, “My Grandma said that I was sold to Officer Qin and even signed a death contract, I don’t believe it.”
“This is your family matter.”
The official was recently annoyed by Li old lady, hoping that she would hurry up and get out, so she didn’t have a good attitude towards the beauty, “You first follow us back to the Yamen, wait for the Qin family’s subordinates to take the deed of sale, check the file, whether it’s an escaped slave or not will be clear at a glance.”
This is the reasoning, Li Haitang no longer struggles, wiping tears, and follows behind the officials and leaves.
Old Madam Li was busy watching the fun. (written) in black and white, when the time’s come, let’s see how she makes excuses!
On the street, the scene is spectacular. Li Haitang and the Li family with the official in front of the police, dragging the back of the large tail of the onlookers who were watching the fun. On the way to the government office, the team cut off the strong.
Li Haitang turned back, looked at the dense crowd, a black line, blame only, you could only blame this year, people do not have any recreational activities, hold back a force, street gossip, can be happy for days, not to mention her, this is a big show, to go to Yamen.
The people are still on the road, there are officials coming back to send a letter, by the way, to notify the Qin family to send people over.
The county magistrate surnamed Fan, claimed to be a just and incorruptible official greedy for money and sex, not less gifts he received from Officer Qin so the county magistrate Fan’s impression on the Qin family is good, willing to take care of.
Li Haitang escaped from the marriage at top speed; quickly found her next home, no longer an innocent second-hand goods, the Counselor Qin certainly will not touch, but spent so much silver to buy it back, inevitably to catch her back and torment it.
County magistrate Fan understood the Qin family’s meaning before a few entered the door, and was sitting in front of the hall drinking tea and resting his eyes.
“My lord, we’ve apprehended the runaway slave Li Haitang.”
Officials entered the door to report, with a smiling face to take credit for someone else’s achievements. Their county magistrate was confused, and liked others to flatter him, but he was timid and confused, so he had never done anything such as killing a human being aka treat human life as if it were not worth a straw.
“Bring her up!”
County Magistrate Fan struck the hall wood with a serious face, and added at the end, “And the Li family’s cadre of people, bring them up together!”
Li Haitang was tied with a rope and pushed down to the ground, inwardly depressed. No wonder when she watched TV, Xiao Yan Zi tied something on her knees, called kneeling easy. There were no human rights in ancient times, whether they met a trivial or high position official, they still had to kneel, and she doesn’t know if the knees can withstand it. The public hall has no sunlight, gloomy, County Magistrate Fan kept two moustaches, bulging face, like a meat bun without folds, clear mirror hung on high—impartial and discerning judge match equally with the gilded inscribed board, so that the picture is very comical.
