Chapter 21 Shameful Things
However...
The problem is here again.
After all, Mr. Shen is a man who values his reputation.
Although he wants to break off the engagement, he personally promised that he would marry his daughter to Li Beifeng in the future.
All the villagers in the surrounding area know about this matter, and Dr. Li has only been dead for a few years. If he dares to break off the engagement directly and blatantly, he will probably be stabbed in the back.
Mr. Shen doesn't want others to think that he is a person who despises the poor and loves the rich.
So, Mr. Shen can only think of other ways to break off the engagement.
In the past few years, Mr. Shen would come to Lijia Village to visit Li Beifeng every once in a while. In the eyes of other villagers, Mr. Shen did not forget his original intention, and he did not despise his poor son-in-law even if he became rich. He is really a conscientious father-in-law...
However, the fact is that every time Mr. Shen came to visit Li Beifeng, he would remind Li Beifeng indirectly that he should not want to eat swan meat.
Sometimes, he would take Li Beifeng to see the world and take him to the gatherings of the so-called powerful circle to let Li Beifeng see the gap between himself and those powerful children. Shen Yuanwai would ridicule him in a sarcastic tone from time to time.
Li Beifeng's predecessor was also a man of integrity. Shen Yuanwai hinted so clearly inside and out. If he didn't understand, he would be a fool.
So, Li Beifeng, who felt that his dignity was insulted, was furious. He said on the spot that he would cut off contact with the Shen family and become strangers from then on.
It is said that Shen Yuanwai almost clapped his hands and said that it was a deal. He wanted Li Beifeng to swear on the spot.
...
Since then, Li Beifeng no longer had contact with anyone in the Shen family.
However, Shen Qingning, who was kept in the dark, did not know about this.
Li Beifeng suddenly changed his mind and ignored him, which made Shen Qingning feel confused.
Even if she took the initiative to come to the door, she was always driven away by Li Beifeng in a weird way, which made Shen Qingning look confused.
After three or four times, Li Beifeng still ignored her.
So, Shen Qingning's temper also came up!
You Li Beifeng, you dare to ignore me?
Well, I just can't let you go!
So, Shen Qingning, who didn't know why, soon got into a fight with Li Beifeng.
The more Li Beifeng ignored her, the more frequently she appeared in front of Li Beifeng.
She troubled Li Beifeng every now and then, and came to the door from time to time to make sarcastic remarks.
In short... it was just the attitude of a young lady who was not going to get along with you.
It has continued until now.
"..."
Because of this, when Shen Qiao saw Shen Qingning coming to the door again, he was really a little headache.
What kind of moth did she want to do today?
This young lady... is she really idle and has nothing to do?
Li Beifeng now does not have any great malice towards this young lady in front of him.
Of course, there is no goodwill either.
Those past grievances have nothing to do with Li Beifeng now. Li Beifeng will not take it seriously, nor will he vent his dissatisfaction with Shen Yuanwai on her.
But at the same time, Li Beifeng does not think that his previous verbal engagement with Shen Qingning can count.
After all, it was a joke that gradually became a reality, and it cannot be regarded as a serious engagement.
In addition, with Shen Yuanwai's temper, it is absolutely impossible for him to marry Shen Qingning to Li Beifeng.
So...
Although Li Beifeng has no malice towards her, he does not like her very much.
Of course, the reason for not liking her is far more than that.
"..."
"Hey, why don't you reply to me after calling you for a long time?"
When Li Beifeng ignored her, Shen Qingning had already stepped directly into the yard.
The movements were skillful, just like returning to her own home.
She walked up to Li Beifeng, staring down at Li Beifeng who was squatting in the yard, staring at him with a pair of eyes, and snorted in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing sneakily?"
Li Beifeng glanced at her and saw that the young lady was staring at him with an imposing manner: "Do you have any misunderstanding about sneaking? What I do in my yard has nothing to do with you? But you, did I invite you in? This is my home, and your current behavior is trespassing. Do you believe I will go to the government to sue you?"
"You!!"
Shen Qingning was angry.
She opened her beautiful eyes wide, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "Go ahead and sue, go ahead... If you have the guts, you can arrest this young lady and put her in jail!"
Li Beifeng sneered.
Arrest her and put her in jail?
He wanted to too!
But who doesn't know that the county magistrate of Ping'an County has a good relationship with her Shen family?
Especially, it was heard that the son of the county magistrate seemed to be interested in Shen Qingning, and the county magistrate seemed to want to bring them together... It was obvious that they were in cahoots with each other.
When Li Beifeng went to complain to the officials, it was not certain who would be arrested.
Seeing that Li Beifeng did not speak, Shen Qingning thought he was scared, so she snorted and stopped arguing with him.
Shen Qingning glanced around the yard, and then a look of doubt appeared on her face: "Hey, there seems to be something wrong with the yard?"
Li Beifeng's heart skipped a beat... Did this girl discover something?
Although Li Beifeng was very careful in handling the body that night, it was impossible not to see that the ground in the yard had been moved.
Although Li Beifeng concealed it well, for some people who were familiar with this yard... For example, the frequent visitor in front of him, it was obviously not hidden from her eyes.
"What are you doing in the yard?"
Shen Qingning soon discovered that the yard was indeed a little different from before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Don't think too much, there's nothing wrong..."
Li Beifeng waved his hand: "You must be overthinking, don't think too much, go back to sleep and rest."
Shen Qingning looked at Li Beifeng with strange eyes: "I just said it casually, why are you so nervous..."
"Is it?" Li Beifeng remained calm.
"Yes, definitely!"
Shen Qingning has known Li Beifeng since childhood. Li Beifeng's little reaction can deceive others, but not her eyes.
Even though Li Beifeng is no longer the Li Beifeng before, he still retains some habits after integrating the memories of two lives.
These habits were keenly grasped by Shen Qingning.
She looked suspicious: "Did you do something bad behind my back?"
Good guy!
It's worthy of being a childhood sweetheart.
You can guess this?
The other party was just guessing, but Li Beifeng was really guilty.
Li Beifeng's face was calm: "You think too much, what bad things can I do?"
"Humph, it's hard to say!"
Shen Qingning glanced at Li Beifeng: "Who knows if you will do something shameful behind my back!"
After that, Shen Qingning glanced around the yard and suddenly walked towards the room.
The direction she went was the main room where Li Suyi lived.
Li Beifeng was not calm now.
There is still a person hiding in the room!
Li Suyi was still lying in the room. If she saw it, things would get out of hand.
Based on Li Beifeng's understanding of Shen Qingning, if she knew that there was a strange woman in Li Beifeng's room, she would definitely not let it go and would ask to the end.
At that time, if Li Suyi's identity was exposed and Shen Qingning reported it to the authorities, then it would be a mess!
So, Li Beifeng, who felt something was wrong, quickly stood up and stopped Shen Qingning: "What are you going to do?"
"I..."
Shen Qingning was about to speak, but suddenly saw Li Beifeng's slightly nervous expression.
She was already suspicious, and now her eyes became more suspicious.
"Why are you so nervous? Did you really do something behind my back?"
Shen Qingning glanced at the room, staring at Li Beifeng, eyes wide open: "Is there something shameful in the room?"
