385: Come home and do it when you have time

With the sound of dense footsteps, Qi Ya walked out first.

"Šurhaci, let's go!" Qi Ya said directly, then immediately got into the carriage.

"Alright!" Šurhaci nodded.

"Wait!" Li Rupo was helped out of the mansion gate at this moment.

He pulled open the curtain of the carriage and said with an apologetic face, "Qi Ya, please don't be angry. It was my lax management that caused this scandal."

Qi Ya only sobbed softly upon hearing this, not answering.

"Sigh." Li Rupo sighed heavily, then said, "Qi Ya, don't worry, I will definitely not let that bastard off!"

"Mm." Qi Ya nodded lightly.

Li Rupo felt even more guilty, so he said to Zhao Bo, who was sitting beside Qi Ya, "You are Qi Ya's younger brother, aren't you?"

"Mm." Zhao Bo nodded somewhat guiltily.

"Thank you for coming so late," Li Rupo said.

"It's no trouble." Zhao Bo nodded even more guiltily, somewhat daring not to meet his gaze.

Seeing this, Li Rupo thought that this younger brother was naturally introverted and not good with words, so he didn't pay it any mind. He then patted Erhu beside him. Erhu immediately took out a bag from his Pregnant and handed it to Li Rupo.

Li Rupo handed the bag to Zhao Bo, saying:

"You are Qi Ya's younger brother, which makes you my, Li Rupo's, younger brother. If you encounter any trouble in Xinchang County in the future, just give my name, Li Rupo, and no one will dare disrespect you! If you fancy any woman, just give my name directly, and no one will dare stop you!"

Zhao Bo was a bit stunned by such a bold declaration.

Then Li Rupo continued, "This time it's my fault. I didn't expect that brat to be so audacious! I've already sent someone to inform the Soldiers at the city gate. They will open a side gate for you when you get there, and you can leave. Please safely escort Qi Ya home. This is some money; please accept it, younger brother."

At this moment, Erhu reminded him, "Second Master, it's ten taels of gold."

"Oh, right, this is ten taels of gold. I'll trouble you, younger brother!" Li Rupo laughed.

Zhao Bo was stunned in the carriage upon hearing this. Even with his thick skin, he found this scene hard to digest!

Seeing that Zhao Bo was unmoved, Li Rupo laboriously handed the ten taels of gold into Zhao Bo's hand: "I beg you! You must safely send Qi Ya back!"

Zhao Bo nodded blankly.

"Younger brother, you see me in this state, so I won't invite you in to sit this time.

Next time, next time you must come to my home for a visit!"

Then Li Rupo said to Qi Ya, "Qi Ya, don't worry, I won't let that brat Li Rumei off. Come find me when your mood has calmed down. I'll always be waiting for you."

Qi Ya only sobbed silently. Šurhaci, seeing this, directly whipped the horses, and the carriage moved in response.

"Qi Ya, you must come back!" Li Rupo was laboriously supported by two Armored Soldiers as he chased after them:

"Younger brother, I'm entrusting Qi Ya to you. You must take good care of her!"

"Younger brother, come to my house to play when you have time!"

Zhao Bo looked at the ten taels of gold in a daze, suddenly feeling it was quite heavy.

Li Rupo was so good to him, providing both courtesy and money, and even invited him to visit his home.

He had just been with his Sister-in-law... and before that, with Qi Ya... only Li Rupo was kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bo couldn't help but slap himself.

It seems his skin wasn't thick enough; he still needed more practice!

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Qi Ya no longer had the tear-streaked face from before. Instead, she was smiling and nestled in Zhao Bo's embrace.

"Oh, nothing." Zhao Bo smiled, then looked at Qi Ya and said, "I'm thinking about how to take good care of you."

"Young Master, you're naughty. This servant has missed you so much these past few days." Qi Ya's eyes, looking at Zhao Bo, were already a bit hazy.

Zhao Bo felt a pair of delicate small hands moving restlessly. He was startled, but at this moment, he was truly a bit powerless!

But somehow, Qi Ya was already hanging entirely on him!

"Young Master, this servant has missed you..." Qi Ya's eyes were blurred, and she leaned down.

"Oh, what's that smell?" Qi Ya asked, frowning slightly.

"Uh, I just ate seafood..." Zhao Bo said guiltily.

"No! We just ate roasted chicken and came straight here!" At this moment, Šurhaci, who was driving the carriage, suddenly spoke.

"When I went into the mansion to find you, I saw many people there, so I went into the kitchen and had a bite," Zhao Bo stammered.

"This servant believes Young Master." Qi Ya smiled sweetly, then leaned down again.

"Stop, there's someone else here!" Zhao Bo reached out to stop her.

"It's alright." Qi Ya smiled, then shouted outside, "Šurhaci, plug your ears, focus on driving, don't get distracted!"

Then Qi Ya pounced on Zhao Bo like a hungry tiger!

..."Screech~ screech~ screech!"

The side city gate of Xinchang County slowly opened, emitting a harsh sound.

After a carriage drove into the night outside the city, several gate-guarding Soldiers whispered, "Who is this person, who can make us open the city gate for him in the middle of the night?"

"Is that something you should be asking?" A Soldier who looked like a Foreman cursed, then muttered, looking in the direction the carriage had departed, "This road is quite flat, so why is this carriage constantly swaying up and down?"

"Squad Leader, was that coachman crying just now?" A young Soldier asked.

"Are you blind? Who would be crying while driving a carriage in the middle of the night? It's not like a woman's home was broken into!" The Squad Leader cursed, slapping the young Soldier's head, "Go, close the city gate!"

"But he really seemed to be crying..."

...Li Rumei rode a warhorse, galloping in the wilderness!

If it weren't for the gate-guarding Soldiers knowing him, he almost wouldn't have been able to leave this gate tonight!

He knew that once he fell into his second elder brother's hands, there was no telling what he would be beaten into! Now, he could only listen to his Sister-in-law, go out and avoid the limelight first, and wait for his second elder brother to cool down. Then he would return.

He ran aimlessly, suddenly not knowing where to go to avoid the limelight. Then he suddenly thought of his father!

As the youngest son, his father had always doted on him, and his father had always told his second elder brother to stay away from that Jurchen woman.

His second elder brother still stubbornly brought her into the house, leaving his Sister-in-law aside.

This matter was originally his second elder brother's fault.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been like this tonight!

His old wounds were not yet healed. After admitting his mistake to his father, his father wouldn't bear to hit him, but his second elder brother really would beat him to death!

Thinking of this, Li Rumei turned his horse's head and galloped towards Hou City.

He remembered that his father had said he was going to a banquet in Hou City tonight!

"Giddy up!"
