Chapter 115

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, early in the morning, Li Ling took Yue'er to the Wei family, but did not come to the door as yesterday, but waited at the entrance of the alley.

This made Yue'er quite confused. After listening to his brother's analysis yesterday, he became more and more worried about his sister. He just wanted to see her early this morning and asked her if she had such a thing, but she didn't come to the door. After enduring it for a while, he finally said, "Brother, what are we doing here?"

"Wait for someone. My sister didn't want to tell us the truth yesterday. Do you think we can get the truth by asking her now?"

"Then you can know the truth here?"

"Of course, this is called indirect attack." Li Ling's eyes were always paying attention to the alley as he spoke, and he would observe carefully whenever someone came in and out. After waiting for a while, he finally saw a familiar woman coming out from inside, and he immediately met: "I'll invite this sister..."

"Are you... not a wife's mother's brother?" The man also recognized Li Ling at a glance and quickly greeted him, "Mrs. I'm at home today, so I just need to go there."

"No, I'm here to ask my elder sister for a few questions and help me." Li Ling said with a smile.

The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "But I'm going to buy some vegetables, if it's delayed..."

"It won't be too late for too long, just a few words." Li Ling said, taking out a piece of silver worth about two or three taels of weight and stuffing it into the other party's hand, "Can you go there and say a few words?"

Looking at the piece of silver, the woman was immediately moved and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the young master just asks." As she said that, she followed him and walked to the side, no longer staying at the alley to attract attention.

"I want to ask my elder sister about her sister's affairs in the Wei family. I wonder if my brother-in-law is okay with her on weekdays? What are the difficulties at home?"

"This... the little woman is just a servant who helps the chef in front. I don't know what the master and his wife are doing. But my family is really struggling recently, and even the money for daily food has been deducted a lot..."

Li Ling then asked her some things about Li Le'er, but the woman either said she didn't know or said something else, but she couldn't get too much useful information from her mouth. This made Yue'er a little anxious, but Li Ling still looked so kind: "I've finished asking all the questions, and I want to ask you, sister, for a little help. Yuehong, do you know?"

"Well, that's the person around Mrs.

"Can you see her today?" Seeing the other party nodding hesitantly, Li Ling smiled again: "Then please give her a message and let her find an opportunity to come out from the back door to meet me tomorrow."

"This..." Seeing the woman's face look embarrassed, Li Ling took out another piece of silver and shook it in front of her: "As long as this is done, these five taels of silver will also belong to you."

The other party indeed showed a look of greed, swallowed his saliva, and then nodded vigorously: "Then I'll try it. But she is from the backyard, so it's not easy to get out of the front."

"Then let's go through the side door. I've seen that there is a portal next to your house, and it's quiet and you don't have to worry about being seen. Don't worry, no one will know about this."

After Li Ling said this, the woman was attracted by the money again, so she immediately responded, and then hurried to buy vegetables and other things. Li Ling did not stay here anymore, took Yue'er back to the inn to rest, so he naturally would not come to the door again today.

The next morning, Li Ling waited at the entrance of the alley again. Sure enough, the woman came out again. When she arrived at the entrance of the alley, she touched her left and right. Seeing Li Ling waiting there, she hurried over: "Mr. Li, I have already told Yuehong about the matter. She said that she would come out from the side door in the afternoon." As she said that, she looked at his sleeve intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Ling smiled knowingly and took out the silver and gave it to her: "I'm sorry, sister. By the way, no one else knows about this, right?"

"Of course, I'm looking for an opportunity to talk to Yuehong." The woman who held the silver quickly nodded vigorously and assured.

...

In the afternoon, in a corner next to Zhaizi Lane, Li Ling took Yue'er to wait here again, and his eyes fell on the door of the Wei family that had long been recognized. Suddenly, a gap was opened, and a figure walked out sideways. Li Ling could see that she was Yuehong, so he quickly waved to the other side: "Sister Yuehong..."

"Ling... Master Ling..." Yuehong hurriedly leaned over, her face also felt a little excited, but her expression was a little alienated and unfamiliar.

By the way, Yuehong was originally Li Le'er's close maid, and she came here with her dowry. When the Li family was in good condition, Li Ling had a bad relationship with her. Now that she hasn't seen each other for many years, she is a little bit distant, and even the title seems strange.

In fact, Li Ling's memory of her was even more vague. After all, he was not the original owner. But at this moment he seemed very familiar and smiled and said, "Sister Yuehong, you should call me Lingzi, what about Mr. Ling, you are not an outsider."

"That's different. You have grown up and are a scholar. How can you still be as casual as before?" Yuehong said with a smile.

Li Ling didn't bother with this matter anymore and said seriously: "Sister Yuehong, I think you can also guess the purpose of my sudden call to you out to meet. My sister should not be doing well in the Wei family, right? I want to know her real situation now!"

The forced smile on Yuehong's face disappeared with these words. In just a moment, she suddenly bent her legs and knelt down towards Li Ling: "Young master, you want to save the lady. If this continues, I am really worried, I am worried that the lady will not be able to bear it..."

She was really beyond Li Ling's expectations. She was busy and helped the person up. She said, "Sister Yuehong, what happened? Tell me slowly, I only have her, and I will definitely not let her be wronged!"

"Sister Yuehong, but...but is my brother-in-law not good to his sister?" Yue'er finally couldn't help asking, "Have he beat his sister?"

This question made Yuehong's eyes turn red and tears flow down: "Young master, little lady, the lady has really been through hardships in the past few years..."

"Don't be excited, just say it slowly." Li Ling suppressed the anxiety and anger in his heart and comforted him with a warm voice.

His comfort played a role, and Yuehong then revealed the matter little by little: "Actually, the lady was very good when she first got married. The master and the old lady were still there, and the son-in-law also loved the lady very much. The couple was harmonious..."

In her story, Li Ling knew what kind of changes his sister had experienced in the past few years—

Although the Wei Cheng family is a branch of the Wei family, because his father had a reputation as a scholar, his family was well-off. In addition, he was also successful in the first few years and passed the exam for a scholar in his twenties, which was a proud and proud person.

But just the second year after Li Le'er got married, there were a series of changes in Wei Cheng's family. First, Wei Cheng failed the imperial examination in that year. In fact, this is nothing. After all, all the candidates in the provincial examination were masters, so he could fight again next time.

But at this moment, Wei's father suddenly died of acute illness, and his mother also couldn't afford to get sick due to excessive sorrow, and finally passed away the following year. The death of the two elders was quite heavy on the Wei family. The family's fate fell from then on, and Wei Cheng's entire person also changed. It turned out that the elegant and gentle young master Wei became an exaggerated and mean person, and he became sensitive both internally and externally.

At this time, he was still in love with Li Le'er because she had been pregnant for several months. But as a result, she gave birth to a daughter Tangtang, which made Wei Cheng very angry. The relationship between husband and wife finally plummeted. It was always easy to say cold words, and even furious about small things.

Then, Li Le'er sent his dowry back to his parents' home. After Wei Cheng found out, he was even more furious and took action directly. This was his first time beating his wife, and then there were one to two…

"Wuwuwu..." When Yue'er learned that her sister had been beaten by Wei Cheng in the past two years, she knew that she was indeed injured yesterday, and after being touched by her, she couldn't help crying.

Her crying also made Yuehong even more sad and blamed herself: "It's all my fault for being useless. I was unable to protect the lady... Now the son-in-law is getting worse. Not only do he often drink alcohol, but he always stays outside for the night. The lady asked him a few times, and he got angry and wanted to beat him. The day before yesterday, he almost hit the lady... And yesterday, because he couldn't negotiate the matter outside, and he was very unhappy after you came, so he hit the lady again.

"Young master, you must save the lady. She has a lot of injuries on her body and can't be beaten anymore..." As she said that, Yuehong was about to kneel down again, but was supported by Li Ling.

He was also thrilling and blaming himself. He really didn't expect that his sister was in such a terrible environment and had been abused by others for several years. And the root of all this was actually related to him. If his sister hadn't sent the 100 taels of silver to help him, she might not have been treated like this by Wei Cheng!

But I have been in high spirits over the past two years, feeling that everything is getting better and everything is being controlled. I don’t know that this is what my sister has exchanged for her happiness! My happiness is entirely based on my sister’s pain!

Deep self-blame and regret made Li Ling's eyes turn red and his breath became heavy. After a while, he said: "Sister Yuehong, don't worry, I didn't know that this happened before. Now that I know, I must help my sister escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Then Wei Cheng dared to treat my sister like this, and I will definitely not let him go! But before that, I will want to take my sister and you home first!"

"Well...Young Master, you have grown up, and you can definitely help the lady."
