I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

Two years have passed.

When he left the Huang family, his cousin Huang Yuanshan's words still echoed in Wei Tu's mind from time to time.

The feeling of being looked down upon is not pleasant.

But now is the critical period of his life, a matter of life and death.

Wei Tu would not ignore the only backstage background he could rely on just because of this dispute of temper.

"Wei Xun..." Mrs. Li Tong smacked the name, thoughtfully.

Although Wei Xun was a concubine of the Huang family, because she gave birth to a son, her status in the Huang family was not low, which was different from ordinary concubines.

She knew this.

Even if his identity is not enough to affect the internal affairs of Li Zhai, it is not a good idea to detain Wei Tu's body and deeds and become enemies with him...

The Huang family is a powerful and wealthy family in Qingshan County, with a vast distance of hundreds of miles, far beyond what the Li family can match.

certainly.

The Li family is not afraid either.

"If Wei Tu was really as close as his second aunt Wei Xin, he wouldn't be reduced to being a servant of my Li family..." Mrs. Li Tong thought of something.

But soon, she suppressed this idea in her heart.

Wei Xin looked down upon an ordinary male from his mother's family and would not help him.

However, it is very different for a man from his mother's family who is expected to gain fame in martial arts.

As the mistress who married into the Li family, Mrs. Li Tong knew the thoughts of concubines from wealthy families like Wei Xun.

Only with your mother's family can you have the confidence and support, and will you not be looked down upon by your husband's family.

After a while.

When Li Tongshi gently placed the tea cup in her hand on the coffee table next to her, everyone in the hall knew that Li Tongshi had made up her mind.

"Your body contract... I can't make the decision alone, I have to discuss it with the master."

Li Tong glanced at Wei Tu and continued: "I have always been open-minded. If you are interested in martial arts, the Li family will not block your future."

She had already agreed to Wei Tu's redemption in her heart, but when it came to the personnel affairs in the house, it was not appropriate to overstep the master Li Yaozu and make the decision.

"Caixia, go and invite the master over." Li Tongshi looked at Caixia who was standing on her right and ordered.

"Yes, grandma."

Caixia took the order and walked out of the living room.

Lean less.

Master Li Yaozu rushed to the living room from the living room. He sat on another chair next to Li Tongshi. After sitting upright, he straightened the lower part of his robe and then looked at the person standing in front of him. Wei map.

"Redemption?" Li Yaozu frowned, "Did you bring enough money?"

His words were not as gentle and affectionate as Li Tongshi's. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Wei Tu for a sufficient amount of ransom money.

but.

Such pretentiousness.

It happens to be the familiar understanding of the master Li Yaozu by everyone in the Li family.

"My family is short of resources, so I ask the master and grandma to show mercy and reduce or reduce the amount as appropriate." Wei Tu said the prepared speech.

The ten taels of silver he estimated based on the market price was not the real amount of the redemption silver.

The price offered by Li Zhai may be higher than ten taels of silver, or it may be lower than ten taels of silver.

Of course, the asking price must also be within a reasonable range, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

If the price offered is unreasonable, Wei Tu can also go to the Yamen to sue the Li family, but... the Yamen always refuses to come in if they have a reason but no money.

"Sir." When Li Yaozu was about to speak, Li Tong stood up, winked at Li Yaozu, and asked Li Yaozu to follow her to the inner hall to discuss the matter.

Time passes slowly...

It has been past noon since Wei Tu entered the inner house until now.

finally.

A quarter past noon.

Li Yaozu and Li Tong came out of the inner hall one by one and took their seats respectively.

"In Shangyanshang, since you want to break away from the Li family and redeem your body deed, then the redemption money is inevitable..."

"Over the years, you have been eating and using the Li family. The Li family has also taught you horse-raising skills and given you wages..."

"It's all overhead."

Li Tongshi took out the account book and calculated.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu did not refute.

If he had proposed to redeem his deed a few years earlier, the Li family would never have trained him so carefully and even helped him find a wife.

"After all the calculations, it's about eleven or two and a half dollars."

"Brother Wei, can you accept this ransom?"

Li Tongshi asked.

"Please forgive me, grandma, and give me some relief. The Japanese defender will definitely be rewarded."

After hearing the amount of the ransom money, Wei Tu was shocked. The Li family's calculations were much more than what he had calculated.

The extra one or two or five yuan is not a small amount, it can buy another servant during the famine years.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, bowed deeply, and spoke in a lower tone.

Li Yaozu saw a trace of satisfaction in his eyes when he saw Wei Tu bowing and saluting.

He said: "Brother Wei also grew up in the Li family. It is said that he is a businessman, but he must also take into account some sentiments. The price of the redemption silver can be lower, how about eight or two?"

"It's a lucky draw!"

"Thank you, sir."

Thanks to Wei Tu.

After he thanked him, he took out the money he had accumulated over the years. After counting the money, he handed it to Chunlan who was standing by.

"Grandma, it's eighty-two cents."

Chunlan put the broken silver coins on the lacquer table, put it close to Li Tongshi's ear, and said.

"It seems that you came prepared. This is your deed and a letter proving your identity."

"Master Shicai had already finished writing when he was in the inner hall."

Li Tongshi smiled, took out an unfinished envelope from his sleeve and placed it on the coffee table.

In her words, she also explained why she had been discussing with Mr. Li Yaozu in the inner hall for so long.

——It was because of writing the letter proving Wei Tu's redemption that the time was delayed.

"Wei Tu thanked the master and grandma."

Wei Tu bent down again to express his thanks.

But after he thanked him, he took a deep breath, straightened his body, and looked at Li Yaozu and Li Tongshi.

this moment.

He is no longer a slave of the Li family.

Next, as long as he takes off his slave status in the Yamen, he will be an upright commoner of Zheng State, not a private slave raised by a wealthy family.

See this scene.

Li Yaozu and Li Tongshi felt inexplicably uncomfortable and secretly frowned.

The two of them felt that Wei Tu should at least maintain due respect before leaving Li's house, so that their "favor" just now would not be in vain.

"Brother Wei, go to the outer house to pack your luggage. You can leave now."

Although Li Yaozu was angry inside, his face was still full of smiles and he was not rude.

Although he did not have the ability to review Wei Tu's skills and strength like Xinghua did, he understood that a servant who dared to escape from slavery was definitely not just because he was unwilling to be ordinary.

What Wei Tu said is 80% true.

Even if he did not pass the martial arts examination in this subject, a martial artist should try not to offend him as much as possible.

The rich man's family was slaughtered by swordsmen. This has happened in Qingshan County in recent years.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded, took the deed and letter from Chunlan, then turned and left the inner house.

After Wei Tu leaves.

The inner house of the Li family returned to its former peace.

"Why hasn't Hibiki's lunch been served today?"

"It's past noon."

Li Tongshi put away the account books and saw that the dining table was empty. She couldn't help but frown secretly and said dissatisfied.

She secretly wondered if the servants and maids in this family were becoming more and more arrogant because of her gentleness in running the family.

"Xinghua went out to buy groceries this morning and hasn't come back yet." The maid whispered.

"What? Xinghua hasn't come back yet?" Li Yaozu, the master who had just walked to the dining table, immediately turned cold when he heard this, but in an instant, he seemed to have thought of something, and a chill ran down his spine again.
