Li Baolu was also looking at Li Hong. Compared with nine years ago, Li Hong was much more embarrassed, looking at her with hatred in his eyes.

The person who almost killed her back then ended up like this, Li Baolu felt neither pleasure nor joy, but a sense of sadness rose in her heart.

This man is grandfather's son, father's brother, and the person closest to her in terms of blood relationship in this world, but he is so unbearable.

She didn't know whether it was his nature or the environment, but whatever it was, she would not be happy.

She turned her head to look at Lu Tong who was sneakily aiming here, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is this?"

Mrs. Mei hurriedly said, "This is your elder brother-in-law..."

Li Baolu nodded indifferently, glanced at everyone, and when she saw Li He, her gaze stayed on her unnatural arm for a while.

She frowned slightly, she had studied medical skills, so she could tell at a glance that Li He's hand was broken, and it was not connected properly.

She was about to go up to check, when Gu Jingyun said coolly: "Baolu and I brought some things, Second Aunt can go get them from the carriage."

Li Baolu stopped in her tracks, nodded to Mrs. Mei and said, "Second Aunt, go and get it. Everything in the carriage is a gift."

Lu Tong hurriedly followed to help. Seeing the rice noodles and cured pork and venison in the carriage, his eyes could not help but smile slightly, "Mother, that was my cousin just now? Why have I never heard of it?" However, where is her in-law's family from, they can still afford a carriage."

Mei's face is sullen, she doesn't like Lu Tong, if she can, she doesn't want to say a word to him, but thinking of her daughter, she still suppresses her breath and said: "Bao Lu has been married to the Gu family since she was a child, the Gu family is a good citizen, young master Gu He has just been admitted as a scholar, and he is a man of fame."

Lu Tong was shocked, he didn't expect the Li family to have such relatives.

He has only been in exile for three years, and he is still in the Sixth Village. He really doesn't know that the Li family has such relatives. He just heard from others that the life of the Li family was very good before, but he was ruined by his father-in-law.

The Li family has a talented son-in-law, and Lu Tong is a little excited but a little wary.

In the room, Li Hong glared at Li Baolu angrily, and after holding back for a long time, he mumbled, "Yes, it's you..."

Li Baolu nodded, "Second Uncle is not mistaken, it is indeed me."

She said bluntly: "I don't want the blood of the Li family to be cut off in your hands."

Li Hong's eyes showed sarcasm, he was not bad to Li Jun, and as for the two daughters, the married daughter splashed water, they would not have inherited the Li family.

"In my heart, whether it is a cousin or a cousin, they are the grandchildren of grandfathers and grandmothers, and they are their blood. To me, they are the same."

"You, you have to... have the heart, give, give... us... just the money, why, why..."

"Why encourage Li Jun to poison you?"

Li Hong pursed his lips and stared at her fiercely.

"Because I have no obligation to support you. I don't want the blood of the Li family to be severed, so I gave him an idea. Whether they can live well in the future depends on their respective abilities." Li Baolu smiled at the person on the bed, " In my opinion, his choice is correct. The poison on your body can be cured at any time, even if it takes longer, it will only take some time to re-exercise the flexibility of your hands and feet in the future. You will not starve or be beaten. You can still live well, can't you?"

Li Baolu pulled Li He aside, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms full of wounds, "But look at my daughter," Li Baolu asked with cold eyes, "do you feel that your life is still very difficult?" good?"

Li Hong stared blankly at the scar on his daughter's arm, then glared at Li Baolu angrily, this is their family's business, he is Li He's father, so he can do whatever he wants, what does it matter to her?

"Telling these things to my second uncle is just to make you quieter. Li Jun may be reluctant to do anything to you, but I am different." Li Baolu smiled at him, "I am not your daughter, and there is still a relationship between us." It's life and death."

Li Hong felt a chill in his heart.

"My husband and I went to the capital last year. Although Concubine Zhao is still not favored, the emperor only has six sons, so he still values ​​the sixth prince very much. Although it is difficult for our Li family to reverse the case, it is not impossible. for."

Li Hong was startled, and it took him a while to realize what Li Baolu was talking about.

The sixth prince was delivered by his father, and it was also because of the sixth prince's father that he offended Concubine Lan, who was exiled to Qiongzhou for a crime.

Li Hong's eyes sparkled brightly, and he stared at Li Baolu firmly.

"So Second Uncle had better be honest. If I do something that makes me unhappy, I will be distracted. If I am distracted, maybe the day when the Li family will be rehabilitated may be in the foreseeable future."

Li Hong was suspicious.

"Anyway, I just promised my grandmother to take care of the descendants of the Li family, and giving ten taels of silver every year is also taking care of it, isn't it?"

How can ten taels of silver be compared with redress?

If the Li family can be rehabilitated, they can live comfortably based on their share of the family property...

Li Hong became apprehensive, "ahhh" twice, expressing that he would never spoil Li Baolu's affairs, but he couldn't just lie on the bed like this.

But Li Baolu didn't continue to bargain with the other party, she just said these words to make Li Hong calm down and Li Jun to relax.

She turned her head to look at Li He, and said, "Your bone is connected wrongly, let me reconnect it for you."

Li He's face turned pale, he touched his arm and said, "But it's been a long time, have the bones grown back?"

"That's why we have to interrupt again." Li Baolu squeezed her arm, seeing her in pain, said, "I'll help you reconnect after lunch."

Li Jun clenched his fists angrily, "Sister, don't go back to Lu's house, just stay at home and I'll take care of you."

Li He lowered his eyes and said, "You can't beat him."

"If you beat him, will you stay?" Li Baolu asked curiously.

Li He smiled wryly, if I can't even beat him, I will only let him transfer his anger to the family when I go back to my mother's house, and then no one in the family will be able to escape.

"Not counting as the second uncle, there are four people in the family, and each of them goes out with a hoe. I don't believe I can't beat her."

Li He shook his head, "You don't understand, he looks thin and weak, but once he fights someone, he's crazy, he doesn't want to die, let alone the four of us mothers, even including father may not be his opponent."

"I don't believe it. Let's try it in a while and see if we really can't beat it."

Li He was dumbfounded.

Li Jun and Li Liu were eager to try, and Li Liu even jumped up and said, "I'll find a bigger stick."

Li Baolu turned her head and said to Gu Jingyun: "I don't support using violence to control violence. I think this kind of scum should be sent to the government, but in Dachu, beating a wife is legal. Since domestic violence is legal, I want my wife to resist it." The crime of assaulting your husband should not be too serious."

"No," Gu Jingyun said in a deep voice: "If a wife beats a husband, the lightest one will be thirty sticks, and the worst one will be one hundred sticks, and then he will be exiled from two hundred to eight hundred miles. If the husband dies, he will be hanged. As far as I know, Lu Tong He was exiled for only 12 years. After 12 years, he will be able to clear his crimes and return to his hometown. This is still a heavy sentence. If his wife and family were not entangled with his family and children to put pressure on the county government, he would probably be imprisoned. You will be free in seven or eight years."

Li Baolu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's not stipulated in the "Great Chu Law"..."

"The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings. Men are superior to women, and the county government will naturally be more inclined to men. What's more, the lower the status of women these years, the county magistrate who can be sentenced to exile in Qiongzhou is already sympathetic to the deceased. There are many people who let go of people with the staff."

This is the disadvantage of the rule of man. The sentencing of criminal suspects can be decided according to their own likes and dislikes, which is too flexible.

Li Baolu pursed her lips.

Seeing that his wife was unhappy, Gu Jingyun said: "But this is a place of exile. If Lizheng doesn't report it, no one will know about it. Even if he knows, he will just pretend he doesn't see it if he has no one to back him up."

He laughed and said, "Have you forgotten who our current county magistrate is?"

The current county magistrate is Tan Qian, and he needs money to do things.

Gu Jingyun patted her hand and said: "Do whatever you want, I'm the one to do everything."

Li He and Li Liu couldn't help but look at Gu Jingyun, envious in their hearts, they all said that being a child bride was hard, but Li Baolu couldn't tell that she had suffered.

Li Jun was already used to it, he had lived in the Qin family and knew that the Qin family treated this cousin very well.

A cold light flashed in Li Baolu's eyes, she squeezed her fist and said, "Then I won't be polite."

She felt like a stone was blocked in her heart. She knew that women's status was low now, and she felt it along the way, but it was the first time that the difference between men and women, which was a matter of life and death, was presented to her.

Is the woman's life so insignificant?

Li Baolu leaned against the door and watched Lu Tong. They had already moved their things into Li's house, and Mrs. Mei was preparing some for lunch. When she saw Li Baolu standing at the door watching them, she turned to her and smiled, "Bao Lu is hungry. Come on, Second Aunt will make lunch now."

Li Baolu nodded, still staring at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong stood on his head, raised his head and smiled at her, and said hello, "Second sister, you haven't seen me before, I'm your eldest brother-in-law."

Li Baolu nodded, "I know you, were you responsible for those injuries on my cousin's body?"

Lu Tong's face darkened, and he was very displeased with Li Baolu's questioning, "What the second sister said is a matter between us and husband, so don't let you worry about it."

"Marriage is good for having two surnames. Although women are weaker than men in secular and legal terms, there is still a folk custom. If a husband cheats on his wife, the wife's natal family has the right to seek justice for the sisters. As long as they don't fight Death, the yamen generally doesn’t care about it.”

There was a glint in Lu Tong's eyes, and the alarm bell was ringing in his heart. Who would directly discuss such embarrassing and hurtful things with his brother-in-law?

Unless they don't want Li He to live with him!

He raised his head in a "huh", dropped the things in his hands and said, "A girl obeys her father at home, and her husband after marriage. Li He is now my wife, so I can do whatever I want, and you can take care of me?"

After finishing speaking, he yelled to the room: "Li He, come out, we won't make it this year, hurry and go home with me."

Li Baolu laughed and walked towards him, and said with a smile: "My cousin's arm is not connected properly, she needs to be interrupted and then reconnected. I think she is very scared. Although I often set bones, broken bones are the first ones. This time, so I'm afraid that it's not important, and the husband and wife are one, why don't you try it on your brother-in-law first?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab Lu Tong's arm. Lu Tong's blood surged up, his eyes were red and he squeezed his fist to hit Li Baolu's head and face. After several screams, Li Baolu stretched out his hand and pinched his wrist. Pulling forward, he touched his arm with his right hand, turned his palm, and there were several "cracking" sounds. Lu Tong wailed and kicked Li Baolu angrily.

Li Baolu raised her foot to block his foot, hooked him straight forward, pulled his foot forward, swept him again, threw him to the ground, stepped on his calf with her right foot, and crushed him hard, "Crack" The sound made Lu Tong faint from the pain.

Li Baolu turned her head and waved to the stunned Li He, "Come here."
