Chapter 324 Meeting in the ancestral hall, whose child is Li Yulan?
"Okay... add less garlic, we're on business." Song Wang followed into the snack bar reluctantly. Only he and Qiu Man sat at a table. Looking at the grinning criminal department staff, he said indifferently, "Reinstate yourself."
The assistant minister quickly waved his hands at the few people, "Don't scare them."
Qiu Man lowered her head to take her purse, and Song Wang raised his hand to stop her.
Qiu Man asked: "What's wrong?"
Song Wang said: "How can I really let you treat me? Today's meal is my treat. What do you want to eat?"
"Okay." Qiu Man remembered something and asked, "The envoys came to Xu State recently. The emperor made an exception and opened the night market from tonight. The whole Shengjing Street is very lively. I want to ask, is Lord Song free tonight?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The people from the Ministry of Justice nodded repeatedly in response. They were all listening with their ears perked up. When they saw the little girl asking out a single adult from their family, they were so excited as if they had won a prize.
Song Wang looked back and saw that they were all silent and just lowered their heads to eat.
He thought for a few seconds and said, "I'm afraid not. I have to stay in the Ministry of Justice tonight."
"Sir," the minister asked in a low voice, "I have something to do tomorrow night. Can I swap shifts with you?"
Song Wang suspected that he did it on purpose: "Okay."
Qiu Man clasped her hands together expectantly and asked, "Then, then, does Lord Song have time?"
"Yes." Song Wang couldn't refuse, so he estimated the time and said, "I'll wait for you at the gate of Qiu's house in an hour. I hope Miss Qiu will be on time."
Evening comes.
There is an unprecedented storm brewing in the Marquis' Mansion.
Jiusu patiently explained the principle of the paternity test machine, "So, the results show that Li Yulan and Third Aunt are related by blood, that is, mother and daughter."
The moment the truth comes out.
It was as if a sharp arrow shot many years ago had now hit the heart.
Yi Hui felt dizzy.
She covered her chest and fainted. After a while, she finally recovered. She held her daughter's hand and cried in pain: "Yuyu, it turns out that everything was planned by that vicious woman!"
"Mother, it's okay now. I'm back." Jiusu held her hand, eyes red, and comforted her softly.
Li Ningwan had no place to vent his anger, so he carried Yi Hui to the bed, strode out of the house, kicked the door open, and looked at everything in the yard with great displeasure.
"Call Li Yulan back! Also notify everyone in the Li Mansion to wait in front of the ancestral hall in half an hour."
Hu Mansion.
After drinking, Hu Xue felt bad. He came to the bedroom and looked at the sleeping woman. He was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and poured the tea on the woman.
"Bitch, let me tell you to sleep!"
"Ah!" Li Yulan was awakened by the burn. She saw Hu Xue's gloomy face, as if she saw a terrifying demon. She hid in the bed, shivering. She had been tossed around all night and had not slept. She finally fell asleep, "I, I am really sleepy..."
His eyelids were twitching as he spoke.
Unfortunately, demons don’t feel sorry for people, they only torture them.
Hu Xue grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her out, not caring if she got hurt. He threw her on the ground and said with gritted teeth, "How dare you sleep? Why don't you go to the Marquis' Mansion, kneel on the ground and beg for the Marquis' forgiveness, but stay at home and enjoy your life every day?"
Li Yulan closed her eyes and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Beat her, beat her to death.
But she really didn't want to die like this, who could come and save her?
"Master..."
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Hu Xue sneered: "What's the matter?!"
The person outside the door quickly bent down and said, "The Ju'an Marquis's Mansion sent someone to ask Concubine Lan to return home immediately, saying that there is something important."
Li Yulan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
She held Hu Xue's hand and said excitedly, "My mother must be sick and remembered my kindness. She asked me to go home. Grandpa, I will make them like me again, okay?"
Hu Xue was almost sober now, and he clamped the woman's chin tightly.
"I'll go with you, but if you embarrass me again, I'll have no choice but to sell you to a brothel and torture you even more miserably."
"Yes... yes..." Li Yulan nodded tremblingly. She didn't dare to delay and knelt on the ground to put on Hu Xue's shoes.
The distance between the two prefectures is very far.
After a long time, the carriage stopped at the mansion.
Li Yulan wore brightly coloured clothes and looked much more proud than usual when she entered the mansion. She bravely took Hu Xue's arm, and rare that he did not shake her off.
She looked at the still indifferent housekeeper and said.
"The Marquis asked me to come."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded, and he said, "Everyone is here, except you. Please ask Mr. Hu and Concubine Lan to go to the ancestral hall as soon as possible."
The sound of "Lan Qieshi" made her feel chilled to the bone.
Hu Xue asked: "Why go to the ancestral hall?"
Li Yulan was desperate: "I, I was kicked out of the Li family tree a long time ago. Maybe this is a surprise from my parents. They want to take me back to the Li Mansion."
"That makes sense." Hu Xue's eyes turned, a smile appeared on his face, and he held the woman's hand and said, "As long as you are recognized and taken back to the Li Mansion, I will spoil you."
Li Yulan shook herself.
Tables and chairs were set up in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall. The elderly clan leader sat in the main seat, with elders sitting on both sides, including Madam Li and Lord Li. The rest of the female family members and juniors stood on both sides.
Everyone was solemn, with different expressions on their faces.
Two figures appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
The Hu Xue family also has an ancestral hall, and the family will gather together to discuss important matters, but...but a scene like that in the Marquis' Mansion is really rare. He looked at Li Yulan.
I even suspected that she had done something evil again.
Li Sanfang stood up, walked to Li Yulan and said, "I'm here, come over quickly."
"Aunt San, what's going on?" Li Yulan asked nervously in a low voice.
Hu Xue also pricked up his ears to listen.
Li Sanfang said calmly: "The Marquis said it was a good thing. I guess he wanted to recognize you and return to the Li Mansion. Otherwise, why would he call you back?"
Yes, Li Yulan's face lit up with joy.
She had been driven out by the Marquis a long time ago. When she was called back, along with so many elders from the Li Mansion, he must have regarded her as a member of the Li family.
She couldn't hide her excitement.
Waiting nervously for the person sitting down to speak.
Elder Li had a head full of white hair, but he was in high spirits. He glanced at the most powerful child in the family and said, "Ning Wan, why did you ask everyone to gather here? What do you want to announce?"
The marquis waved his hand, and the butler closed the gate of the courtyard, and several servants surrounded the courtyard wall with sticks.
Everyone was shocked. This was an important announcement, and it was not a good thing.
Li Ningwan put his hands behind his back and looked towards the third room with cold eyes.
"I will give you two a chance to survive. Why did you send Li Yulan here? Where did you find her?"
The couple looked at each other.
Li Laosan looked at the woman: "What do you mean?"
The woman shook her head, not knowing what she meant. Li Laosan recalled with a worried heart, "We were afraid that you and your sister-in-law would be sad, so we found a girl of similar age to comfort you..."
Li Ningwan asked: "You speak better than you sing! Let me ask you, whose child is Li Yulan?"
