Chapter 485 486 Dispute
Laidi shook her head sadly, "My cousin didn't even send anyone to announce the good news. I'm not in good health, so I better not go."
"It's windy outside. Let's go inside and sit for a while." Li Fengqi stood up and helped Laidi into the room and let her sit on a chair. "Laidi, if I have the opportunity to go to the Imperial College, I will definitely be on the list next year."
"Imperial College!" Laidi thought for a moment and looked at Li Fengqi, "Didn't you say that you can't get in even if you don't get a good rank in the exam? It doesn't matter if you get a spot?"
Li Fengqi glanced at Laidi and said, "There is an opportunity now. Someone is willing to recommend me to the Imperial Academy."
"Really?" Laidi looked at Li Fengqi, "Did Lord Gu help you?"
Li Fengqi shook his head and said: "It's not Master Gu. I don't know who he is. I only know that the other party is a powerful person."
Laidi looked at him in confusion, "Since we don't know each other, why do they want to help us?"
Li Fengqi looked at Laidi, hesitated for a moment, and decided to give Laidi a try, "They help us with conditions."
After hearing this, Laidi suddenly realized, "I'm just telling you! How can such a good person help you for no reason? How much money do they want? If it's too much, our family can't afford it."
"They want... want..." Li Fengqi glanced at Laidi's belly and hesitated to speak.
Laidi smiled and said, "Looking at you like this, you need a lot of money. Just tell me! If it doesn't work out, I pawned the jewelry my cousin gave me."
"Laidi, I did something, and they caught me. They forced me, forced me... Laidi, please help me for the sake of your child. I will definitely treat you mother and son well in the future."
A bad feeling came to Di's heart, "Tell me first, why were you caught and what did they force you to do?"
Li Fengqi closed his eyes and said in one breath, "They want a child from your cousin's family."
"You want my cousin's child? Why can't I understand what you mean?" Laidi looked at Li Fengqi and her face turned pale.
Li Fengqi did not dare to look into Di's eyes and lowered his head and said, "They said that as long as we steal a child from your cousin's house to them, they will recommend me to the Imperial Academy."
Laidi stood up suddenly and slapped Li Fengqi on the face, "How did you say it out loud?"
Laidi pointed at Li Fengqi with trembling hands and tears streaming down her face, "Beast, how dare you say such a thing? If someone wants our child, do you have to agree?"
"How is that the same?" Li Fengqi covered his face in embarrassment and looked at Laidi with a ferocious expression, "Do you think I am willing to do such a thing? Let me tell you, I got the test papers at home in exchange for your cousin's news. If you don’t agree to them, they will tell your cousin about it, and then we won’t get any good results!”
"No wonder you asked about my cousin again and again." Laidi felt her heart throbbing and her stomach ached. She looked at Li Fengqi with disappointment, "What if they tell my cousin? These things are in Xishan Village Everyone in Hefengming Village knows that my cousin has never said not to let others talk."
Li Fengqi growled in a low voice, "If your cousin had always been a village girl, of course there would be nothing to say, but now she is a first-class lady. Do you think she is willing to let the nobles in Kyoto know that she has divorced and has been living in other people's homes for several years? .”
"That's because you have dirty thoughts." Laidi felt the pain in her stomach. She bent down to hold her stomach and looked up at Li Fengqi. "You have given up on this. Even if you don't go to high school, I won't do such a thing."
"You ignorant village woman," Li Fengqi pointed at Laidi, "I'll never win, and it won't do you any good!" After saying that, he rushed out of the house.
Laidi chased to the door, holding her belly with a pale face, looking at Li Fengqi's back, murmuring, "Mother... mother... I feel so much pain..."
Another burst of pain hit, and Laidi fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and blood flowed down the hem of her skirt.
"Blood, madam, you are bleeding," the mother-in-law came out of the house after hearing that Li Fengqi was gone. She was shocked when she saw the blood on Laidi's skirt, and shouted loudly into the yard: "Daqiu, go and invite me." Po Wen, Madam is about to give birth, hurry up!"
"I'll go right away." Daqiu ran out of the hut and ran towards the alley behind.
The mother-in-law carried Laidi into the inner room, put her on the bed, and comforted her, "Madam, please be patient, Po Wen will be here soon. Fortunately, it has been more than seven months, and the child can be fed after birth."
Laidi looked at her mother-in-law with tears streaming down her face, "My child, my child..."
The mother-in-law looked at Laidi with some sadness, "Madam, please bear with me, the child will be fine."
Wen Po followed Da Qiu and ran into the yard. She took a look inside and found that the birth canal had been opened for five fingers. She raised her head and said to her mother-in-law: "Why are you so fast? Go and boil hot water and get your wife some food." .”
The mother-in-law agreed and ran out. Po Wen complained softly, "Daughter, I told you a few days ago that you had a bad idea and asked you not to be angry. Why didn't you listen? Where is your man!"
Laidi groaned and shook her head. When Po Wen saw it, she understood in her heart and said with relief: "Daughter, don't be afraid. Aunt, I have been delivering babies for decades. Once the five fingers are opened, the baby will be born soon. Please bear with me and say goodbye." Yell, otherwise you will lose your strength later and both the child and you will suffer."
"Yeah!" Laidi bit her lip and nodded.
The mother-in-law cooked a bowl of sugared eggs and fed Laidi a few bites. Laidi shook her head and couldn't eat anymore. Po Wen followed the mother-in-law out and said to the mother-in-law: "Your wife's pregnancy is not good, you go I’ll personally call your master back so that we can make a decision if something happens.”
After hearing this, the mother-in-law quickly said to Daqiu: "Daqiu, go to the restaurant in front and look for it, and find the master quickly."
After Daqiu agreed, he hurried towards the small restaurant of Tongzhou Guild Hall. When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiaojiu stopped him, "Uncle Daqiu, are you coming to drink too?"
Daqiu asked Xiaojiu, "Isn't my master drinking in the restaurant?"
"Your master hasn't been here for a drink for a long time. What happened?"
Daqiu hurriedly went to find Li Fengqi and said as he ran, "My wife is going to give birth. Po Wen said she is not very well. Let's get the master back."
"I'll help you find it." Xiaojiu quickly greeted the shopkeeper and followed Daqiu along the nearby taverns, but couldn't find it in several places.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Daqiu suddenly thought of a place and took Xiaojiu to a restaurant, where he found Li Fengqi drinking with the wine girl in his arms.
Xiao Jiu saw Li Fengqi's face flushed and couldn't help but spat at him, "What the hell, your wife was born prematurely and you're drinking and having fun here."
Li Fengqi looked at Xiao Jiu angrily and shouted: "Who do you think you are? I am a great judge, but you little brat dare to spit on me."
Xiaojiu looked at him contemptuously, "What if I spit on you?"
"Master..." Daqiu quickly grabbed Xiaojiu and told Li Fengqi about Laidi's premature birth.
