Chapter 224 She Can Transform into a Bird
Chapter 224 She Can Transform into a Bird
Lou Huan didn't expect to hit a wall. The small restaurant she booked had already been taken a fancy to by another official's wife.
It is said that this official's wife is related to Princess Changping in the palace, so no one can ignore this title. These young men don't even take the wife of a small official seriously.
What's more, I heard that Lou Huan was going to be divorced, so there was no need to pamper her. There was no true love in pleasure, it was just about who was more influential.
Lou Huan broke into someone else's room to compete with another official's wife for the favor of a young prostitute. The news spread throughout the county in an instant. Li Bing, who was cuckolded, was naturally humiliated and immediately took the divorce letter to the scene.
Lou Huan scratched the official's wife's face, and the lady went crazy and fought back. The two of them beat each other and it was difficult to tell who was better. Finally, the official's wife's guards came and kicked Lou Huan away, thus rescuing the lady.
Lou Huan was furious because she was kicked away. She had been proud for more than ten years and had never been bullied like this. She pulled out her hairpin and rushed towards the lady.
She was kicked away by the guard again. As luck would have it, the hairpin in Lou Huan's hand stabbed her own chest when she fell to the ground. She couldn't utter a word and her body kept twitching.
When Li Bing and his men arrived, Lou Huan had already died. Although he had no feelings for Lou Huan anymore, he felt sad to see someone die in this way. As a county official, he immediately cordoned off the scene.
When the truth was revealed, it was found that Lou Huan wanted to kill the wife of someone else in order to steal the man from her. This scandalous incident happened in public, and Li Bing could not hold his head up.
Lou Huan deserved to be put to death, and the lady he competed with Lou Huan for was innocent. However, although the guard was protecting his master, he caused death by negligence, and the victim was a county magistrate's wife. Even if Li Bing wanted to handle the matter in a low-key manner, he could not.
The only thing she could do was to sentence the guard to three years in prison according to the law. The official's wife had her face scratched by Lou Huan, and she was very relieved that Lou Huan was dead. It was nothing to her to let a mere guard go to jail.
If the person who died was just an ordinary woman, she wanted to kill that woman's family to atone for the damage to her face. But now the one who died was the county magistrate's wife, and she didn't want to make a big fuss. If the news got back to the capital, it would have an impact on her. It would be better for her to keep quiet and return to the capital as soon as possible.
The incident of the county magistrate's wife keeping an affair and then having someone killed caused an uproar in the entire county. County magistrate Li Bing couldn't even manage his own family, let alone manage a county.
Li Bing's reputation was ruined all of a sudden, and his ability was questioned. Li Caiju eloped and knew about this, she thought it was too ugly, so she quickly asked the Zhou family master to take her to Lincheng.
Although Li Bing hated Lou Huan to death, he still buried her properly. No one from Lou Huan's family came, and they were too embarrassed to seek favor from Li Bing. Li Bing also buried the divorce letter he had written earlier in the grave.
Li Junlan, Li Qingzhu and Li Ruomei, three siblings, had no feelings for their mother. According to Chen Bianbian's digging into the original owner's memories, Lou Huan loved his eldest daughter Li Caiju the most, and he either beat or scolded the other three.
She said that the three of them looked like their loser father, and not like her at all. Only Li Caiju was the most like her, so she loved her the most.
Although the three siblings did not like their mother, they still saw her off to the last place despite being ridiculed by everyone.
After Lou Huan's death, Li Junlan had reached marriageable age and had been engaged to Shangguan Yan for a long time. Li Bing decided to send Li Junlan to the capital to get married to avoid being laughed at here.
Li Junlan was introverted and sensitive. Li Bing was afraid that she would become depressed and that marrying to the prosperous capital might change her personality. Although Shangguan Yan was only a small thousand households, they were relatives and he knew her well.
Not long after Li Junlan got married, Li Bing resigned from his official position, took his young son and daughter and lived in a remote village under an assumed name, and went back to his previous job as a county magistrate, teaching and educating people.
Li Junlan, who married to the capital, was in a daze. She didn't like Shangguan Yan, but only liked Shangguan Ning. So she was depressed after marriage and didn't care about her father Li Bing's affairs at all.
Zhang Shurou looked down upon Li Bing's annual gifts and letters, and asked the servants to deal with them, so Li Junlan did not know that Li Bing had resigned.
So now Chen Bianbian's memory of her father is only the memory before she got married.
It seems that this father cares about Li Junlan very much, otherwise he would not send gifts every year. In the past, she didn't care and always asked people to send more money and cloth as gifts in return, but now she found out that this father actually knew that she was pregnant.
This proves that he has been asking people to find out about his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have known she was pregnant and sent these children's toys. If the journey wasn't too far, she would also like to meet the father.
"Xiaoyue, can your Purple Flame Feather go directly to your grandfather's county town?"
"No, you can only go directly to any place in Ziyan Country."
"That's a pity, otherwise you could go see him right away."
"Why not just ask his whole family to come to Yuecheng together?"
"Will they come?"
"You've never invited him before. He's afraid you'd despise him, so how dare he come?"
"How could I dislike it? Who do you think I am?"
"You are now the wife of a great general, and he is just a teacher. Of course he is afraid that you will despise him."
"Then I will write a letter right away and have it delivered."
"Leave it to me! Xiao Lan is here. They fly fast like birds. He can reach the destination in less than a day, which would take a month."
"You have the Purple Flame Feather, so you can also turn into a bird, right? You two can go together!"
"I, I haven't changed. I don't really accept myself turning into a bird."
"Just change! Try it, I want to see it, hurry up."
Chen Bianbian shook Shangguan Yue's arm anxiously.
Shangguan Yue couldn't persuade Chen Bianbian, so she had to take out the Purple Flame Feather from the mobile space and chant a spell.
The room was suddenly filled with bright light, and a ball of colorful light circled around Shangguan Yue three times. After the colorful light disappeared, Shangguan Yue, who was sitting on the chair, turned into a colorful bird.
With a long rainbow-colored tail, purple-blue eyes, and a rainbow-colored crown on its head, the badminton ball emits different lights under different light.
It was obvious at first glance that this was no ordinary bird; anyone who saw it would want to own it.
Chen Bianbian was stunned. She picked up the bird and stroked its feathers. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that this was real, but an illusion.
"Okay, Bianbian, write to me quickly."
Shangguan Yue was a little uncomfortable with becoming so small, the same size as a small squirrel. Fortunately, after looking in the mirror, she found that the bird was indeed very beautiful and special, so she could still accept it.
"Oh, oh, okay, I'll write it now, I'll write it now."
Chen Bianbian was very envious of Shangguan Yue's ability to transform, but unfortunately she couldn't. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to give birth to a child, and it would be much nicer to lay bird eggs. Fortunately, she didn't feel any pain during childbirth, so it didn't matter.
But laying eggs still requires hatching, which seems even more troublesome. Forget it, why think about that! She has to go write a letter.
