Chapter 1623: Earning Small Money Quietly
When Shi Li was helped out of the vegetable cellar, she almost burst into tears when she saw the soldiers brought back by Yu Mo.
Anyone who has not personally experienced such a terrifying thing will not understand how she feels now.
The officer who seemed to be the leader came over with a smile, "Madam Liu, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Madam Liu and the young master. Do you want to wait for news here? Or should we send someone to take you back to the city first?"
Shi Li looked around. She didn't want to stay in such a place any longer. However, Liu's mother and Liu Qihan were still in the hands of the bandits. She had better go back first, fearing that she would be criticized.
There are still many days ahead...
Shi Li sighed in her heart and choked up to say to the leading officer: "I will wait here. How can I feel at ease when my mother-in-law and husband are still in the hands of those evil people?"
[I found the anchor's acting skills to be good for the first time~]
[If Liu Qihan, the scumbag, dies, will the anchor become the richest widow? ]
[Although the scumbag deserves to die, it doesn’t seem right for him to die like this…]
No matter what, Shi Li doesn't have to worry about staying here.
She noticed from the corner of her eye that Yu Mo seemed to be about to leave, and opened her mouth to call him, but hesitated for a moment and did not speak. Instead, she gave a few instructions to the maid beside her.
The maid was quite capable and soon found out what Shi Li was curious about.
The reason why Yu Mo appeared in the mountain temple today was because his widowed mother was seriously ill, and it was said that many doctors had been consulted but none of them could cure her.
He had no other choice but to go up the mountain to pray for the gods and Buddhas’ protection.
Hearing this, Shi Li thought of someone.
The original owner's family was in Suzhou, where there was a very prestigious doctor who was best at curing various difficult and complicated diseases. However, he had a strange temper, so he was not well-known.
The original owner was sick before, and no other doctor could cure him. Later he found this doctor, and after two visits, his illness was cured.
"After we return home, remind me to write a letter and ask Doctor Xu if he can come to Yangzhou." Shi Li gave another instruction to the maid.
She did this to express her gratitude to Yu Mo for saving her life today; but even if today's incident had not happened, she would still help. After all, Yu Mo worked as a clerk in her shop, and it was understandable that she could help if she had the ability.
Compared to her safety, Liu's mother and others were in a miserable situation.
A group of vicious bandits locked them up with the monks in the temple and did not even give them a drop of water or rice.
Liu's mother was old, and she was frightened and scared, and her face looked quite ugly.
Seeing his mother like this, Liu Qihan stood up and threatened the bandits, "Do you know who we are? How dare you lock us up here?"
The bandit leader, carrying a big knife unscrupulously, listened to him talking, laughed strangely, walked a few steps closer, and looked at him teasingly.
"Master Liu, if we didn't know who you are, how could we keep you here as a guest? Don't worry, as long as your father sends the ransom, I promise to send you home safely!"
The bandits were after money, so they did not treat the families of these wealthy businessmen too badly.
It's just that some people just want to cause trouble.
Liu Qihan looked at the big knife on the bandit's shoulder with horror and dared not say anything.
The bandit leader snorted and laughed, turned around and was about to walk aside, but at this moment Wen Shiqing came over and grabbed Liu Qihan's sleeve.
"My cousin, I'm so scared..."
Her timid and weak voice reached Liu Qihan's ears, making him feel extremely upset and guilty. He thought that if it wasn't for her wanting to see him, he wouldn't have let his weak cousin fall into such a situation.
Liu Qihan was just about to comfort his cousin when the bandit leader, who was halfway there, suddenly turned around and cast greedy eyes on Wen Shiqing's face.
"Didn't they say that Madam Liu ran away? Young Master Liu is really lucky. In which brothel did he find this confidante?"
When the bandit leader said this, he had no intention of humiliating Wen Shiqing, but he really regarded her as a prostitute.
After all, in this era, no girl from a good family would have a secret meeting with a man from another family in the mountains.
Wen Shiqing seemed to have been greatly humiliated. Her face turned pale immediately, she pursed her lips tightly, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Seeing this, Liu Qihan felt even more distressed, and he bravely stood in front of Wen Shiqing and confronted the bandit leader.
"This is my cousin, you're just asking for money, don't hurt her!"
"Heh, cousin..."
The bandit leader seemed to have heard a joke and sneered loudly, his eyes shifting between Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing.
"As expected, you guys are not noble at all. You are even dirtier than us bandits in private! What a great cousin! I feel sorry for the young lady who was kept in the dark."
Liu Qihan's face turned pale due to the ridicule.
Before, everyone around him respected him and no one dared to speak out against him, and Liu's mother also let him and Wen Shiqing do whatever they wanted.
The only thing is that every time Liu's father scolded him, Liu Qihan didn't take it seriously.
Now being ridiculed by a bandit, he realized for the first time that his words and actions were inappropriate.
