Chapter 202 What Does Mr. Xue Want?
"My name is Li Mingxi, nice to meet you, Mr. Xue." Li Mingxi bowed shyly and waited for Xue to speak.
She had mixed feelings at the moment. "My mother pushed me out like this. I was really unprepared. I didn't know if Mr. Xue would like it."
"Not bad." Xue Li looked her up and down and nodded with satisfaction. He seemed to be very interested in Li Mingxi. After pondering for a moment, he said, "It's worth twenty taels of silver. What about the remaining twenty taels? If your family can still give away a little girl like this, I don't want the money."
When Hua heard this, he felt mixed emotions, but he still couldn't agree with Xue Li's words.
"I only have this one girl, where can I find a second one for you?" Hua's eyes widened in anger at this sentence.
One is not enough? There are two more? This Xue Li is really not a good person!
Xue Li was stunned. "That's your business, not mine. I don't care where you go to find a second one for me. Either you hand over the money, or you hand over the person, or you can give me a satisfactory answer. One of the three must satisfy me. Otherwise, you still have to go to my government office."
It sounds casual from what Xue Li said, but for ordinary people, this incident is already a disaster!
"We can't come up with forty taels of silver. Since Mingxi is a girl that you like, then, young master, can you please see if you can..." Old Master Li forced a smile and looked at Xue Li ingratiatingly.
This time Li Zhengxue didn't get crazy, didn't say no, and didn't say it was against the rules.
Everyone in the Li family's old house thought that it would be a good thing to be Xue Li's concubine, including Li Zhengxue, who claimed to be well-read in the books of sages.
Therefore, they sincerely hoped that such a good thing would fall on Li Mingxi. At least Li Mingxi was a member of the Li family's old house. If she followed Xue Li, no matter what, the people in the Li family's old house, including Li Zhengxue, would benefit!
From the beginning, Mr. Li saw that Xue Li wanted to have something happen between him and Li Mingxia, but he thought it was just for the sake of novelty. He also thought that he couldn't let Xue Li take advantage of him for nothing. At least he had to let Li Zheng learn something practical as compensation. Now it seems that this is not the case.
"What? Like? Mr. Li, I just said you were a smart man, how come you became confused in such a short time? I want to laugh after hearing these two sentences you said."
Xue Li pointed at Li Mingxi and said, "I thought you wanted to sell this girl to me to pay off your debts. It turns out that I was wrong."
Mr. Li was stunned. Sell her to? If she became a concubine, it would be no different from being sold to Xue Li. There was nothing wrong with saying that.
"Yes, sell..."
"Mr. Xue, what do you mean?" After all, Hua was a mother. She realized that something was wrong with Xue Lihua's words and asked in a sharp voice!
"Twenty taels of silver, and I'll give this girl to you. It just so happens that our Song family has a place where we can sing songs. I think she may not look very good, but she has bound feet, so she's still passable. What do you think?"
Li Mingxi blushed, glared at Xue Li fiercely, covered her face with a handkerchief and ran out without looking back.
It goes without saying where the song was being sung. It was a brothel or a place where people sold their bodies or not. For a young girl like Li Mingxi who hadn't even left the house, it was unacceptable.
What's more, Li Mingxi herself had some little thoughts. When she was pushed out by her mother, she secretly stared at Xue Li for a long time. She felt that this man was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen. And looking at the things he brought, it showed that he must have a very rich son. As for whether he was a concubine, Li Mingxi didn't care. As long as she could enter a rich family, what her identity was, did it matter?
She heard what Mr. Li and Xue Li said, and knew that Xue Li had taken a fancy to Li Mingxia. She thought Xue Li must think that Li Mingxia was pretty, so wasn't she much prettier than Li Mingxia? It must be because she stood too far back just now, so Mr. Xue didn't see her clearly. As long as Mr. Xue saw her clearly, he would definitely not miss Li Mingxia anymore! She might not be a concubine by then.
How could Li Mingxi, who had such thoughts, bear it after hearing what Xue Li said? This was a great insult to her.
"Xue Li! She is my biological sister, what do you mean by saying this! Do you take me seriously?" Li Zhengxue was furious and was about to fight with Xue Li. Li Dalang and Old Man Li quickly stopped Li Zhengxue, fearing that he would really hurt Xue Li.
"Why should I take you seriously? Who are you?" Xue Li couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Li Zhengxue, who was being pulled by Li Dalang and Old Man Li and had an angry look on his face.
He is now a little curious about how the Li family raised Li Zhengxue. It is a good thing that he cannot be an official since he cannot see the situation clearly. If he really becomes an official, he will probably not survive more than three days and will be skinned and thrown back.
"That girl, I only gave her twenty taels of silver because of her bound feet and her young age, otherwise why would I look at her? You want to compare such a piece of shit with Li Mingxia, are you crazy and confused?"
Old Master Li took a deep breath, and his last hope was shattered after Xue Li said this.
He knew that Xue Li only wanted Li Mingxia now.
"Master Xue, is it true that you don't like anyone except that girl Ming Xia?"
At this point, Xue Li was too lazy to continue pretending, nodded, and said: "Why do you think I came today? It's for Li Mingxia. Do you really think these rotten fish and shrimp in your family are worthy of these things?"
Li Zhengxue finally calmed down this time. He sat dejectedly on a stool beside him with his head hung down.
"May I ask, Master Xue, what do you want when you take a fancy to our girl Ming Xia? Do you want to marry her as a concubine? Or keep her outside, or -"
The words were not finished, but they were already very clear and everyone knew what they meant.
Xue Li became a little interested. He looked at the old face in front of him and his tone softened a little.
"What if I just want to play for one night? What do you say?" Xue Li glanced at Mr. Li calmly and asked.
No one in the room, including Li Zhengxue, reacted to this statement. Old Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Old Master Li gritted his teeth and looked at Xue Li for a long time without saying a word.
