Chapter 108 Self-commitment
After entering the yard, Lord Chu asked everyone to sit down, and the maid quickly brought them tea.
Lord Chu first glanced at Li, and seeing her timid look, he knew that this matter was related to her, and it was not a good thing.
The troubles that Li has caused recently are quite numerous and not small. It seems that simply removing her power is not enough to calm her down.
Lord Chu glanced at Li coldly before returning his gaze to the Li couple. "You two have caused such a big scene today. Is it about the young man from the Li family?"
"You may not believe this, but it really has nothing to do with the Li family. It was the Duke's order that he was beaten to death. As for the specific reason, you can go and inquire."
Madam Li suddenly stood up and said, "My Lord, as the Marquis of Pingyang, you can't act in such a way. My son was killed by the order of the Duke's Mansion. I know that."
"But my Lord, I would like to ask why my son appeared in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion." Madam Li stood up and asked loudly.
The Marquis of Pingyang became angry and said, "Madam Li, I see you as a woman and I don't want to argue with you for the sake of my only son."
"Also, what is your son going to do? You should ask your son. If he doesn't want to go, will Chu Xiao arrest him?"
Madam Li looked at the Marquis's expression and laughed heartily at the rooftop, "So the Marquis knew everything. My son went there on his own accord. No one forced him to go. He died, and he deserved it."
"But my Lord, someone seduced my son. No one can't stand loneliness, just like her shameless mother. She is a slut from the bones. She is not old, still a little girl, but she has learned to seduce people."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li could no longer sit still. She stood up and looked at Madam Li fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense."
Unexpectedly, Madam Li ignored her and just stared at her intently, "My son deserved it, and your daughter deserved it even more, so she died too. But there is still one person who didn't die, and that is this old bitch."
Madam Li pointed at Mrs. Li and said, "If she hadn't been messing around with your little bitch daughter, the baby in that little bitch Chu Xiao's belly would never have been gone."
"This old bitch played a role in this, and made my stupid son sleep with your little bitch daughter. These two got together, hoping to get pregnant and take over that child."
Pingyang Hou's face was about to overflow with ink. Li was fidgeting and quickly showed it to stop him, "Sister-in-law, I am wrong in this matter. I apologize to you. Please don't say any more."
Madam Li raised her hand holding the feather duster and lashed out, "Don't touch me! I was so blind to marry into a pack of wolves like you. You're cruel to others, and even crueler to your own people. You don't even mind sacrificing your own son."
"Later, this matter was discovered. Your daughter couldn't stand it anymore and thought of my son. May I ask, my Lord, who should I hold accountable for this matter? I'll hold Li accountable. Is she wronged?"
Madam Li pointed at Li with a feather duster, wishing she could skin her alive and drink her blood.
"Ms. Li, are the things Madam Li said true?" Although Pingyang Hou asked this question, in his heart, he was already sure that this matter was true.
This question is also redundant.
Li walked up to the Marquis of Pingyang and knelt down. "Master, I did this for our mansion. Although it was wrong, I have been punished."
Madam Li kicked him and said, "Punishment, what's the point of your little pain and rubbing? My family is broken and my people are gone."
"You were also involved in that incident back then—"
Mr. Li quickly stood up to stop her, "Madam, those things happened so long ago, why are you still talking so much?"
Madam Li glanced back and said, "Li Yueniang, you are just that kind of person. This kind of blood runs through your bones. You pretend to be elegant and generous, but you are doing the work of a brothel. Your heart is more poisonous than the mouth of a green bamboo snake."
Li was scolded so much that she sat on the ground and didn't dare to get up, for fear that what happened would be told.
Marquis Pingyang sat there without saying a word until Lady Li finished scolding him.
"Li, I want an answer."
Just as Li was about to say something, she saw Zhilan winking at her in front of the window. She knew that she still had one last chance to survive.
Li got up, walked to the front of Pingyang Hou and knelt down, "My husband, some of these things are true and some are false. There are some things I don't know at all."
"Master, even if I did something, it was for the good of our mansion. As for the matter of the two children, I know I was wrong, but you can't blame me entirely. Isn't my sister-in-law also at fault?"
"If you hadn't left it alone, would the child have come?"
Madam Li couldn't help herself and slapped him. "I didn't watch you. You came once, and I didn't agree. Then you wrote the letter directly into your brother's hand, and that's why he left. Madam Li, don't try to shirk responsibility."
Pingyang Hou rubbed his temples and slapped the coffee table hard. "That's enough, Madam Li, just tell me what you want to do."
Madam Li had been feeling a little better lately, so Master Li quickly brought her some tea. "Madam, have some tea to moisten your throat."
Madam Li pushed the teacup away and said, "There's no room for negotiation between us. We must divorce. Don't worry, there will be no changes. Just stay with your Li family."
After Madam Li finished speaking, she looked at Marquis Pingyang again and said, "I want Li's life. She is the source of all this. I think there is nothing wrong with her using her life as compensation for my son."
Marquis Pingyang suddenly looked up at Madam Li, his eyes like saws, putting pressure on Madam Li.
Madam Li was not afraid at all, and she even looked down upon the pressure exerted by Marquis Pingyang.
"My Lord, I don't even want my life anymore, what else should I be afraid of? I'm not afraid. If I don't kill Li today, I will go to the Duke's Mansion and explain everything clearly. The prince is not dead yet, but now he has become a useless person. I don't believe that they can't kill Li too."
Marquis Pingyang sat on the chair with murderous intent. He glanced at the private room hanging on the wall, thinking of using this method to make her shut up completely.
Madam Li noticed the look in Marquis Pingyang's eyes. She quietly stepped closer, blocking his line of sight. "My Lord, let me be frank. I came here today because I was well prepared. If anything happens to me, everything I just said will be brought to the attention of the Duke and his wife."
"By then, I'm afraid even your official position will be in jeopardy."
"Li, please end your life."
Li collapsed on the ground, knowing that she was in great danger this time.
Just as Madam Li handed the long sword hanging on the wall to Li, a voice came from outside, "No."
