Chapter 291 Without changing her expression, she handed him the handkerchief.
Just then, a horse-drawn carriage approached from a distance.
After the old woman got off the carriage, she helped a young girl down from the carriage.
The guard's eyes lit up when he saw the newcomer, and he quickly ran over, "Oh, Miss Li San is here! Please come in!"
After saying that, he quickly made way for her.
Li Hui turned to the old woman beside him and gestured.
The old woman immediately took out two gold coins from her person and secretly slipped them to the two guards.
The guard held the golden nugget, his smile widening.
Seeing the interaction among the group, Gao Mengli was somewhat indignant, "Why can she get in, but we can't?"
Hearing the voice, Li Hui turned around and looked Gao Mengli up and down, his confusion turning to sudden realization. "I thought you were someone special? Turns out you're just a country bumpkin! What, you want to go in too?"
Gao Mengli's face flushed with anger, and she was about to retort when Dou Weiyi reached out and stopped her.
He looked coldly at Li Hui: "Miss, we are here on official business. We have important matters to discuss with Lord Tang. Please do not cause trouble here."
Li Hui smiled contemptuously. "Official business? With your outfits, you call this official business? Don't embarrass yourselves here."
"I was able to get in because my father is inside. You country bumpkins shouldn't even dream about it."
It's no wonder she didn't recognize Dou Weiyi; after all, Dou Weiyi was dressed casually, so it's understandable that she wouldn't recognize a man outside the family.
When Bucktooth Yu saw that the woman dared to talk back to Gao Mengli, he immediately clenched his fists. "This woman is going too far. Let me teach her a lesson."
After saying that, he raised his fist and was about to give her two lumps.
Qin Shensheng quickly pulled back the buck-toothed Yu: "Yu, don't be impulsive."
When Li Hui saw that this "ugly devil" actually wanted to hit her, she immediately puffed out her chest and said, "You want to hit me? Do you know who my father is? You dare to hit him and try!"
"you!"
This woman's arrogant and domineering manner was truly infuriating. Buck-toothed Yu couldn't stand it any longer and turned to look at Qin Shen Shen in a fit of rage, "Big brother, let go! I'll definitely beat her to death today!"
Li Hui became even more arrogant upon seeing this, shouting, "Come on, come on, let's see how you're going to kill me!"
Li Hui felt a fat fist appear out of nowhere in front of him, and his right eye felt numb, followed by a sharp pain.
"Ah, who hit me?"
Li Hui covered her right eye, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain. She never imagined that someone would actually dare to make a move.
Do you even know who her father is? Are you tired of living? How dare you hit her?
The chubby girl withdrew her little fists, giving him a smug look and provocatively said, "So what if I hit you?"
Li Hui was trembling with rage, and screamed at the maids and servants around him, "Are they all dead? Quickly seize these ignorant fools!"
The maids and servants then realized what was happening and rolled up their sleeves, ready to step forward!
"Cheng~"
Qian Yan'er drew the dagger she was carrying.
In the darkness, a flash of cold light was particularly noticeable.
The maids and servants were so frightened that they hesitated as they approached.
Upon seeing that the "shorty" in front of him actually had a weapon, Li Hui quickly grabbed the maids and servants who were about to approach and pulled them back.
"Hmph, you just wait, I'm going to go and get my father to settle this!"
Li Hui left those words behind and hurried off to the inn.
Fatty and Bucktooth Yu, who had initially thought they had a chance to fight, looked down at Qian Yan'er, who was holding a dagger and looking completely innocent, and were speechless.
Honestly, what is he threatening me for in a women's dispute?
They missed, and she got away...
Seriously, I have nowhere to vent my anger, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Hui, who "ran away," is not allowed to look for her father.
She was just an unfavored concubine's daughter, only slightly favored by her father because of her elder sister's talent in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. That was all.
Therefore, she only dared to ask her brother-in-law for advice.
Today, she has come to find her brother-in-law.
With dark circles under her eyes, she jogged all the way to a private room filled with decadent music.
He bowed respectfully to Youye and Yingjiu at the door, saying, "Please trouble you two to inform my brother-in-law that I have something to discuss with him."
Youye nodded to Yingjiu, who then turned and went into the private room.
A moment later, Tang Guangjun quickly came out of the private room and saw his sister-in-law covering her eyes. He looked at her with curiosity and asked, "Hui'er, why aren't you at home? What are you doing here? And why are you covering your eyes?"
When Li Hui saw her brother-in-law come out, her eyes instantly reddened again, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
She can be strong when she's alone, but when someone asks her what's wrong, she can't help but cry.
"Brother-in-law, you have to stand up for me! I was bullied terribly outside just now. Those ill-mannered thugs attacked me as soon as they didn't like me."
"Look at my eyes, they still hurt terribly."
As she spoke, she lowered her hand from her right eye, which was now surrounded by dark purple marks.
Coupled with her tear-streaked face, her appearance was simply comical.
Tang Guangjun almost burst out laughing.
He smirked, then realized his mistake and quickly coughed lightly, his hand to his mouth: "Hui'er, did you go and provoke someone again?"
Li Hui stood up straight, looking completely self-righteous: "So what if I provoked you? You can't hit me, can you?"
Tang Guangjun looked at Li Hui's appearance with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "With so many maids and servants, go find your own way. Good boy, I have important business to attend to here. I'll go inside first."
Seeing Tang Guangjun turn to go back, Li Hui quickly grabbed his arm: "No, brother-in-law, they have knives, we can't beat them..."
Tang Guangjun initially thought it was just a minor incident and didn't take it to heart.
After all, when Li Hui came over before the New Year, he offended everyone in Pingding County, both those he should and shouldn't have offended.
They would often bicker and fight, but it was usually just physical play, and he would let her do whatever she wanted.
But to actually brandish a knife now, that won't do.
He asked somewhat nervously, "But where are you hurt?"
Li Hui shook his head and pushed Tang Guangjun toward the window at the end of the road: "I'm fine, it's just that those people are still down there. Look, I need Wen Chou to give me some poison. I want to save face."
Upon hearing this, Tang Guangjun's expression instantly turned serious. He was about to warn his sister-in-law, Wen Chou, that her poison was deadly and should not be used when he vaguely saw several familiar figures not far downstairs.
He quietly turned his head to look at Youye and Yingjiu, who were guarding the gate. Seeing that they were not paying attention to this side, he then looked at them more carefully.
"Brother-in-law, it's them..."
Before Li Hui could finish speaking, Tang Guangjun gestured for him to be quiet.
She quickly stopped talking and looked at Tang Guangjun with a puzzled expression.
Tang Guangjun was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.
After a while, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, bit his finger to make it bleed while Li Hui stared in disbelief, and quickly wrote something on the handkerchief.
After finishing writing, Tang Guangjun solemnly handed the handkerchief to Li Hui and whispered in her ear, "Hui'er, that's Dou Weiyi, my good friend."
They must have come looking for me.
But I can't go. You must secretly give him the handkerchief, and make sure no one finds out.
