Chapter 122 Humiliation
Chapter 122 Humiliation
Early in the morning, Rong Su got up early and came to the shade of the trees.
After a while, a creaking sound was heard from a tree.
When she turned around, she saw a fat little white pigeon peeking its head out. It seemed to see her and flew towards her excitedly.
Rong Su recognized the little pigeon as the one she and Aku often used to send messages.
She had asked before if the little pigeon had been named, but Aku said no, and he asked her to name it.
She didn't really want to give it a name. Once she gave it a name, it would become a bond, and she already had enough bonds.
Later, Aku himself gave it a name, Fat Head.
Because this little pigeon's head is slightly bigger than that of pigeons of the same age.
She reached out and caught Fatty, gently stroked his little head with her fingers, and said softly, "You're really a little slow. Did you go slacking off somewhere?"
Rong Su didn't really mean to blame Fatty, she just wanted to tease it. Of course, she said that because it couldn't understand.
Fat Head rubbed his head against the back of her hand, then turned his back to her, revealing the creed tied to his feet.
After seeing this, Rong Su took the creed off its feet and fed it some small insects.
She had dug those little bugs out of the ground last night, but when she gave them to Fatty, the little guy actually looked a little disgusted. He kept shaking his head from side to side, staring at the little bugs in the small jar, but didn't move his mouth.
Rong Su showed a helpless expression and whispered, "It seems that I have spoiled your appetite. I always give you delicious cakes and pastries on weekdays, but now even little bugs can't get into your mouth, right?"
Although she said so, she still went to the back kitchen of Lianxin's house, rummaged around, and finally found some dried fish. After thinking about it, she took some, put some change next to the jar, and covered it with a rag.
When the dried fish was brought to him, Fathead was happy. He no longer showed any disdain and started eating it with his head down.
While Fathead was eating, she read the letter that Aku gave her.
As expected, Aku did not disappoint her expectations. In just two days, he found out about Li Anguo and the man that Li Anguo asked Aunt Lin to introduce to Lianxin, a minor official named Jiang Dong.
After reading it, Rong Su burned the letter, wrote something else, and asked Fat Head to take it to Aku.
But before she could figure out how to help Lianxin, Li Anguo came to cause trouble.
"Li Lianxin!"
A loud, hoarse, extremely harsh and unpleasant voice, with a menacing tone.
Li Anguo walked angrily to the outside of Lianxin's house, and kicked away a pile of firewood on the ground without saying a word.
With a loud crash, all the firewood was kicked to the ground and scattered. Some of the firewood was even picked up in the snow pile and got wet.
Lianxin was a little scared when she saw Li Anguo's face full of anger, but she had to go out of the house. She hurriedly walked in front of Li Anguo and tried to stop him anxiously. She couldn't speak, so she kept gesturing with her hands, hoping to make Li Anguo less angry.
But Li Anguo was so angry that he didn't care what Lianxin wanted to say. He reached out and grabbed her wrist fiercely, yelling at her viciously.
"You damned girl, don't you see what a horrible thing you are? A mute, and you refused the marriage I found for you!"
Lianxin felt the pain as Li Anguo pinched her wrist. She struggled but had no strength to break free. She could only make gestures in front of Li Anguo with red and moist eyes.
But this only infuriated Li Anguo further. He slapped Lianxin's hand away and shouted angrily, "I'm telling you! Li Lianxin, it's your blessing, and our Li family's, that Lord Jiang likes you! If you dare not agree to this marriage, then you'll be sold into prostitution!"
When Lianxin heard this, she opened her eyes wide, tears in her eyes, and kept shaking her head. She pleaded with her uncle with her eyes, hoping that he could have some mercy on her. However, the middle-aged man in front of her would not pay any attention to her pleas. His eyes were full of greed, and loss and sadness filled his whole heart. A feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body and mind.
Seeing that Lianxin no longer struggled, Li Anguo looked at Lianxin coldly, lowered his head and looked at her, warning her, "You must marry Lord Jiang and become his thirteenth concubine. Otherwise, you will become a lowly person!"
In the past, Lianxin thought that since she had lost her parents and only had this uncle left, as long as she treated him sincerely, she would get his sincere treatment, so she had always been very respectful to him.
Even if he owed money and debts before, she would slowly pay them back for him, but she never expected that such words would come out of his mouth.
A feeling of helplessness and sadness arose in Lianxin's heart. She closed her eyes and shed tears of pain.
Li Anguo didn't care what Lianxin's mood was now. He just wanted to scare this girl and restrain her so that she could marry Lord Jiang. Only if she married Jiang Dong would he have money to pay off his debts and also have a powerful nephew-in-law.
By then, his status in Wanyue Village and Anping Town will rise sharply, and no one will have to respect him as the master's uncle!
Thinking of this, Li Anguo felt very happy. He glanced at Lianxin, who was looking sad, and asked her for something with a cold sigh: "Give me ten taels of silver."
Lianxin's eyes were red and she shook her head, indicating that she had no money.
This action again angered Li Anguo. He kicked the scattered firewood and shouted, "How could you not have silver? Are you trying to trick me? You catch fish and sell them every day, how could you not have silver? I want ten taels of silver!"
Li Anguo tightly gripped Lianxin's wrist, with such force that it seemed as if she was going to break her hand bones. She struggled desperately in pain, but it was all in vain. She cried and shook her head, looking at Li Anguo and begging him.
How could her family afford ten taels of silver? She only had two taels of silver at most, which she had saved. She had originally intended to use it to pay off Li Anguo's debts.
But now, she was heartbroken by the way this vicious man treated her.
"Okay! You don't want to give it to me, right? I think your calligraphy is worth some money. I'll pawn it now!" As he said that, Li Anguo suddenly shook off Lianxin's wrist and ran straight into the house.
When Lianxin heard that Li Anguo was planning to steal the calligraphy, she immediately panicked. She ignored the severe pain in her wrist and hurriedly chased after him to stop Li Anguo.
But Li Anguo was very cold-hearted and cruel. When Lianxin desperately pulled his hand and begged him, he only cared about money and ignored Lianxin's heart-wrenching crying. After slapping Lianxin, he went to grab the calligraphy hanging near the cabinet.
Rong Su, who had just returned from outside, heard vicious and disgusting words as she approached Lianxin's house.
"You silly girl, what are you keeping this calligraphy for? I think you must have hooked up with some guy, and that guy gave it to you for a private meeting. If you don't want to be thrown into a pig cage, get out of here!"
Crying sounds continued to come from the house. Rong Su frowned. Why was there a man's voice in Lianxin's house? She thought of something and rushed in hurriedly.
The door was pushed open suddenly with a bang, which caught Li Anguo's attention. Rong Su also saw Li Anguo's dark and thin face. His triangular eyes were covered with black, and he looked like a hanged ghost.
At this moment, when Li Anguo saw a beautiful girl running in, a disgusting look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Hey, when did that dead girl meet such a pretty girl? She's quite pretty."
Seeing this obscene and disgusting look, Rong Su's eyes flashed with coldness. Then she saw Li Anguo grabbing the calligraphy with his hands and narrowed her eyes. How dare this man set his sights on those calligraphy!
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at Lianxin's house?"
Li Anguo looked at Rong Su's little face with lustful eyes, and his mood improved a little, but he still held the calligraphy in his hand.
"As for me, I'm Lianxin's uncle. My name is Li Anguo. What's your name, and is she married? I'll soon be Lord Jiang's uncle, and I think you're a good match for me. I'm also in need of a second wife."
What a shameless bastard, how dare he humiliate her!
Rong Su clenched her fingers, and the thought of killing this man had already emerged in her eyes, but she thought that she could not kill this man and escape unscathed for the time being, so she could only suppress the murderous intent in her heart for the time being.
Her eyes flashed, and she held a silver needle in her fingers. While Li Anguo was still looking at her with obscene and disgusting eyes, the silver needle had already pierced the side of his neck without anyone noticing.
Just because he can't be killed doesn't mean he can walk out of this room safely.
Suddenly, with a thud, Lianxin knelt on the ground, begging Li Anguo desperately and gesturing with her hands.
When Rong Su saw this, her eyes widened. She walked over and pulled Lian Xin up, saying coldly, "Kneeling down to such a person will only dirty your knees."
When Li Anguo heard Rong Su's words, he immediately flew into a rage and pointed at Rong Su and yelled, "What are you talking about! Are you looking for a beating, you damn girl?"
Looking coldly at Li Anguo who was about to attack her, Rong Su was not afraid at all. She glanced at the silver needle as thin as a cow hair on the side of his neck and saw that it had fallen when he rushed over.
When Lianxin saw Li Anguo was about to hit Rong Su, she panicked and stood in front of Rong Su to catch the punch for her.
Li Anguo's fist couldn't even touch Rong Su. At the previous moment, a stone shot in from the outside and hit Li Anguo's fist hard.
"Ah! My hand!"
With a scream, Li Anguo covered his bleeding fist, his face distorted with pain.
He even looked out fiercely: "It's that bastard! How dare he plot against me!"
Shen Peiqing walked slowly in from outside the house with a stern look. His pair of black eyes contained a biting coldness and a powerful pressure. He only took one look at Li Anguo, and Li Anguo felt as if his whole body was covered by ice and snow. He could not move, and his heart was filled with a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
"roll!"
Li Anguo saw that he was no match for Shen Peiqing. He covered his injured hand and glared at Lianxin fiercely. Then he ran out and said to Lianxin viciously: "You stupid girl, don't think that you can get away with it just because you have help. You are still my niece. I arranged the marriage for you. Even if you die, you have to marry me!"
Yidao's sharp eyes swept over Li Anguo again, frightening him so much that he dared not say anything more and fled in panic.
But when he returned home, he couldn't hold on for a moment. His whole body suddenly felt unbearable pain, especially his head. He even hit his head against the pillar to relieve the pain.
After Li Anguo left, Lianxin's house was in a mess. She collapsed on the ground, covering her face and crying silently.
Rong Su looked down at her, not knowing how to comfort her. Then she looked at the calligraphy that was still there. Fortunately, she didn't let that bastard Li Anguo take it away, otherwise how would she figure out the relationship between Prince Jin'an and Lianxin later.
Later, Xu Cao, who had returned from the market, learned what had happened today and went to comfort Lianxin. They did not leave her house until Lianxin was tired of crying and said she wanted to rest.
When they arrived at Xu Cao's house, Xu Cao slammed the table angrily as soon as he sat down.
"This Li Anguo is a bastard! Lianxin is his niece! If Lianxin hadn't been so dedicated to paying off his debts over the years, he would have been beaten to death by his creditors! He's such a heartless bastard!"
Xu Cao was furious no matter how he thought about it. He stood up and said angrily on behalf of Lian Xin, "No, I'm going to teach Li Anguo a lesson! Otherwise, he will really bully Lian Xin and there will be no one to help her, right?"
Seeing Xu Cao about to walk out indignantly, Rong Su stopped him, "Uncle Xu. Wait."
Being stopped, Xu Cao stood still, but he was still angry: "Are you going to stop me? You know how good Lianxin is, and she was bullied by such a disgusting relative for nothing. Shouldn't we teach that bastard Li Anguo a lesson?"
Everyone present could see that Xu Cao was genuinely worried about Lianxin, and was genuinely angry and wanted to seek justice for Lianxin.
"Uncle Xu. Please listen to Rong Su first." Shen Pei spoke in a calm voice.
Xu Cao suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Rong Su: "Miss Rong, do you have anything to say?"
Seeing that Xu Cao had calmed down, Rong Sucai said, "Even if you went over there, besides beating up Li Anguo, what else can you do? As long as Li Anguo is around, Lianxin can't get rid of him, and Lianxin's marriage is still in his hands."
Rong Su was right, and Xu Cao also understood that he was not related to Lianxin in any way, and was just a caring neighbor. However, Li Anguo was Lianxin's uncle.
The feeling of powerlessness and the discomfort of not being able to help Lianxin intersected in Xu Cao's heart, and he slammed the table angrily.
Seeing Xu Cao like this, Rong Su thought for a moment before speaking: "Perhaps there is a way to help Lian Xin. As long as Li Anguo is not around, no one will dare to do anything to Lian Xin."
What does it mean?
Xu Cao went from being angry to being surprised. He glanced at Rong Su in confusion, then seemed to realize something and suddenly became terrified: "Miss Rong, please don't scare me. You can't do that. You'll go to jail."
Seeing Xu Cao's panic-stricken face, Rong Su realized that Xu Cao probably thought she was going to kill Li Anguo. Although she did want to, she was not that impulsive.
I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble because of a disgusting person.
"It's not what you think. I just mean that Li Anguo will never be able to appear next to Lianxin again." Rong Su shook her head. She already had a plan in mind and looked at Xu Cao and said softly.
But Xu Cao didn't understand what Rong Su meant. "Miss Rong, please don't keep me in suspense. What exactly do you mean?"
