I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

Dai Xinghua agreed. This was the first thing Wei Tu said after Caixia broke into the living room of Li House.

This sentence was calm and brief, but Li Yaozu and his wife heard a different meaning from it - Wei Tu was "talking back" to them.

Whether from the perspective of a servant who redeemed himself from Li's residence, or from the perspective of a guest at Li's residence, Wei Tu's words seemed very rude...

"No, it should be said that he was rude when Caixia broke into the living room." Sitting on the chair, Li Yaozu's right hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tighter, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

Originally, he thought that Wei Tu would come to him first to propose and discuss the deed to redeem Xing Hua... Then the two families became harmonious, Li Zhai let people go, Wei Zhai took people in, and the matter between the two families became a good topic in Qingshan County. , and even a beautiful story on Shannan Road.

In this way, the Li family will receive huge fame from it, and when Li Xingye takes the imperial examination, he will be looked upon highly by the examiner and win the exam.

By then, the Li family's family status has been continuously promoted, becoming the leading "benevolent family" in Qingshan County.

But now, Wei Tu's words directly broke his fantasy.

Wei Tu agreed to Caixia's proposal easily. He did not hesitate to think about the problem from the perspective of the Li family.

"How could he be so ungrateful?" Li Yaozu gritted his teeth.

He couldn't just watch his investment in Weitu over the past six months go to waste...

How passionate he was about Wei Tu before, now he is so angry.

Although Li Tong didn't think as much as Li Yaozu thought, after hearing Wei Tu's words, she instinctively felt that there was something "inappropriate" about what Wei Tu said.

It's just that she didn't understand the origin of this "improperness" for the time being.

"Could it be that Mr. Li thinks Wei can't make decisions on Xinghua's behalf?"

Seeing that Li Yaozu and his wife didn't speak for a long time, Wei Tu frowned slightly, and his words suddenly became sharper and more edgy.

At first, when he came to the Li family's inner house today, he thought of Chunlan's words and decided to put off Xinghua's redemption and wait for another day to find an opportunity. He tried not to irritate Li Yaozu and his wife today, thinking of his kindness.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

period.

Something like Caixia happened.

This scene of rich kids bullying the maid immediately made Wei Tu feel that Li's House was not a good place for Xinghua and she needed to leave as soon as possible.

He did not forget that on the day he met Li Xingye in February, after the dinner, Li Xingye kicked the old cypress in the house hard.

Nowadays, Li Xingye went "crazy" after failing the ranking. If he knew that he had won the ranking and had a grudge, there is no guarantee that he would not attack Xinghua.

Things like this...are beyond our control!

Until then.

Even if he had fame, it would be difficult for him to get involved in Xinghua's affairs.

After all, Xinghua’s identity is with Li Zhai, and Xinghua is a prostituted slave belonging to Li Zhai.

Therefore, Caixia's opening just now has indeed solved an urgent need for Wei Tu.

After thinking about it, Wei Tu decided to go with the flow and take advantage of the situation to get Xinghua's bond of sale from Li Zhai without delaying any more time.

And what happened today——

Wei Tu expected that the Li family would not make a big deal about it afterwards, saying that he had "betrayed the master" because the matter involved Caixia.

Publicizing this matter is a family scandal for the Li family.

The time has come.

Wei Tu would not hesitate.

"Of course not..." Li Yaozu sighed secretly and shook his head.

Wei Tu is Xinghua's husband, so he certainly has the right to decide whether to redeem Xinghua's body contract.

No matter how much he quibbles, it won't help. On the contrary, he will break up with Wei Tu.

He didn't want the Li family to become enemies with Wei Tu.

However, as soon as Li Yaozu finished speaking, Li Xingye stood up from the table. He walked a few steps back and forth in the hall, looked at Caixia and Wei Tu in front of him, and said, "Wei Tu, are you really going to do this because of this girl and us?" Is the Li family against it?"

"In the sixteenth year of Qing'an, there was a severe drought in Qingfeng Mansion and there was no harvest. The Li family took you in and gave you the grace of survival. Do you not want to repay it?"

"Last year, when you redeemed your deed, my father felt sorry for you, so he gave up the favor of the Li family and wrote a letter of recommendation to Shan Wuju..."

"Is this kind of kindness meant for you to use to contradict my parents today?"

Li Xingye laughed a few times and said.

Just now, he had planned to let Caixia go and Xinghua redeem herself and leave, but he didn't expect that Wei Tu would speak so freely and humiliate and force his parents so much.

He finally couldn't bear it.

After throwing out a few words, Li Xingye suddenly felt relaxed, as if all his resentment after failing the exam was revealed and poured out.

The words fell.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold and quiet.

Li Yaozu and his wife fell silent.

Caixia was also shocked.

The three of them looked at Wei Tu in front of them. They didn't know how Wei Tu would react when faced with such truly humiliating words.

but--

Wei Tu was very calm, as if he had expected what Li Xingye would say.

"Wei has never forgotten the kindness of the Li family."

"If there is a chance, Mr. Wei will repay the favor..."

Wei Tu looked at Li Xingye and answered with a slightly cold tone.

After finishing speaking, Wei Tu looked at Li Yaozu and his wife again, waiting for their response to Xinghua's redemption.

"Xingye failed the ranking. I have been feeling depressed recently. Some of my words have offended me. I hope Brother Wei will not blame you."

Li Tongshi apologized.

Then, she pushed Li Yaozu who was sitting next to her and said, "Master, go get Xinghua's body deed. Today, both of us have redeemed their lives, which is a happy event. I am also happy for them."

"Okay, okay..." When Li Yaozu saw the steps, he didn't hesitate, turned around and went to the inner hall to get Xinghua's body deed.

"Xinghua redeems herself for not ten taels of silver, but seven taels is enough."

Li Tong took out three taels of money from her purse and placed it on the tables beside her.

After doing all this, she pursed her lips tightly like Caixia did before, leaned on the straight-backed chair, looked at the beams in the hall with wandering eyes, and was lost in thought for a while.

Xinghua's body contract is obtained.

Wei Tu held up his hands, thanked Li Yaozu and his wife, and said, "Grandma, I don't think today is suitable for staying overnight. If I have free time someday, I will come to Li's house with Xinghua to see you..."

"That's fine." After hearing this, Li Tongshi smiled habitually on his face and nodded in reply.

aside.

Li Xingye was a little stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Wei Tu's Qi nourishing skills to be so good. His parents' handling was also somewhat different from his imagination.

But after he finished scolding, he felt that what he just said was inappropriate, and his anger overwhelmed him, so he pretended to be dead and waited for everything to end soon.

soon.

Wei Tu and Caixia left the living room.

Chunlan, who was waiting outside the door, watched the two of them leave, then walked in with trembling hands holding the meal for Master Li's house tonight.

"Chunlan, what you just read should be swallowed in your stomach and you are not allowed to say it outside, otherwise the family will take care of you." Li Tongshi's smile faded one by one, and his face tightened as he scolded.

"My maid understands."

Chunlan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and placed the food in her hands on the Eight Immortals table.

"It's just that my servant has something I don't know whether to say or not..." Chunlan hesitated for a while, looked at Li Tongshi, and whispered.

"What words?"

Li Tongshi didn't look very good-looking. She was more angry today than she had been for more than 20 years after marrying into Li's house.

"Brother Wei..."

"He was famous in this year's Taoist examination and passed the rankings. He is... a second-class martial arts scholar."

Chunlan said quickly.
