Chapter 340 Let's meet then.
"Once the wine is ready, that's all," Chen Wenfang put down her bowl and instructed Sister-in-law Nie to keep an eye on it.
"Let's go, let's go see them." Chen Wenfang patted her skirt, walked out with her head held high, and knew that what was coming would eventually have to be faced.
As soon as Chen Wenfang appeared, Li Wei's eyes lit up instantly. He opened his narrow eyes wide and thought she seemed much prettier and more charming. He couldn't wait to take her away.
"It's her! Chen Wenjing, you little bitch, where do you think you're going?" Li Wei shouted excitedly, his body involuntarily reaching out to grab her.
Li Feng reached out and blocked it for him.
Brother Nie and the others clenched their fists tightly, ready to make a move at any moment.
"Who are you calling a liar? Watch your mouth!" Uncle Hu was furious. He picked up his broom, ready to hit someone. He and Aunt Hu were startled by the name Chen Wenjing; she really was also named Jing'er. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to roll up some mud; it felt so good to hit people with that stuff.
"Shut up, all of you!" Li Feng narrowed his eyes, looked at the woman in front of him, and slowly said, "Madam Chen, I don't care if you remember or not, we've all met you. You are indeed Wei Ge'er's concubine, there's a written agreement. You'd better come with us obediently."
"Go to hell!" Chen Xuanyu and his kids happened to come over and started cursing.
"I don't care who you are, get out of our house right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Xuanyu's baby face turned pale, he seemed to be furious. Shiwu and Xiaohao also looked extremely ugly.
A group of children followed behind, along with four elderly people.
Li Feng looked at the group of elderly, weak, women and children, gave a disdainful sneer, turned around and bowed halfway to the several masters who looked older, and said in a grand manner, "Our Great Song Dynasty has had laws since ancient times. Wei Ge'er, take out the document for buying a concubine? Let everyone take a look."
Li Wei quickly took out a document from his pocket, opened it triumphantly, and showed it to everyone, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Chen Wenfang remained calm. She had seen this face in her past life, but she never expected to see it again in this one. Damn it, could she really be this unlucky? She couldn't escape the people she hated in her past life, could she? It took her two years to get a divorce, and now she has to get one again? He dares? I'll kill him.
"This old man has come to take a look!" an aged voice rang out.
Chen Wenfang turned around and saw a group of people from Wangjiazhuang. The village head, Wang Youcai, was helping his father, who was also the oldest clan leader in the village. They had all come over because they had heard the news and came to help and support him.
Chen Wenfang gave a slight bow. Just as the old clan chief was about to speak, a horse neighed from afar, "Hee-li-li!" Wang Erniu was back! Chu Yi and the others were all back! Accompanying them were dozens of soldiers, as well as the two adults, Ah Li and Ma Liu, who were very conspicuously dressed in official robes. Everyone dismounted and greeted each other.
Brother Nie breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, except for Li Feng and the others who looked constipated.
The old clan chief, trembling, led everyone in a fist-and-palm salute, which Ah Li silently returned.
Seeing this, Li Feng and the others had no choice but to also bow.
After bowing, Li Feng spoke first, "Since this official works in the yamen, he must know that we have the documents for buying a concubine, so this Madam Chen is our concubine and must leave with us."
"Let me see it!" Without explaining, Ah Li reached out and took the indenture from Li Wei's hand to examine it carefully.
Everyone remained silent, waiting for Ah Li to speak.
After Ah Li finished reading it, he handed it to Ma Liu next to him, who nodded after confirming it.
Ah Li then spoke up, "The document is genuine."
"Haha," Li Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I told you, she's mine. What do you say now? No more words, come with me."
"You wish! If you want to take my mother away, you'll have to get past me first!" Chen Xuanyu roared, raising his crossbow. A group of children beside him followed suit, each raising their crossbows, instantly creating a murderous atmosphere.
With their momentum building, the adults naturally wanted to protect the children. Brother Nie immediately drew his knife, and Lü Xiong made a dashing turn and stood in a horse stance to block them.
"What are you doing? Fighting isn't for you little rascals."
Chu Yi and Shi Tou stood on either side of the children. Wang Hanyang and Xiao Guang stood next to Brother Nie.
With a grim expression, Wang Erniu took Chen Wenfang's slightly cold hand in front of everyone and said, "Let's see who among you can take her away today."
“Him!…” Li Wei was furious, and pulled Li Ming next to him with a look of utter despair, “Dad! Look at him.”
Li Ming glared angrily at Wang Erniu, then tugged at Li Feng's sleeve.
Li Feng understood, and looked at Ah Li, saying, "Sir, even if there are more of you, you can't be unreasonable."
Ah Li smiled and said, "Master Li, even if this indenture is real, how can you prove that Chen Wenjing on it is indeed Madam Chen? Can the broker come and explain?"
“Of course! He can testify.” Li Feng smiled slyly, and a skinny, cunning-looking man emerged from the crowd.
"Greetings, Lord Li. I am Wu Er, a broker from Qingshui Town. I know you, sir. I can confirm that Madam Chen is indeed Chen Wenjing. It was I who sold her to Li's eldest son." Wu Er said with a shameless smile.
Ah Li did recognize him, and nodded, but then asked suspiciously, "Then why did Madam Chen leave the Li family? It's been three years, and you haven't looked for her. And who is this child?"
Li Feng looked at Li Wei.
Li Wei hesitated and said, "She... she didn't uphold the virtues of a wife and eloped with someone. It's her fault."
"Oh? What are you going to do with her if you take her back? Such a mistake is probably punishable by being drowned in a pig cage!" Wang Erniu's voice was extremely loud, and his suppressed anger made his hands unconsciously tighten.
Chen Wenfang pinched him a little too hard, so she shook her hand. Only then did Wang Erniu realize what was happening. Chen Wenfang then gently patted his hand to tell him that she was fine. Wang Erniu put his arm around her shoulder to show his concern.
Chen Wenfang was startled to realize his worry and quickly intertwined her fingers with his. But she really was just there to watch the show. Who was she afraid of now? With so many relatives, several experts in charge, and an official husband, unless the emperor really wanted to kill her, no one could do anything to her.
Li Wei was even angrier when he saw this, but the woman's unapproachable demeanor still had a unique charm. Mo Ming couldn't bear to do anything to her and kept her for his own pleasure. "It's not that bad. Considering she's the mother of the child, a punishment will suffice."
A glint flashed in Li Feng's eyes as he looked at Wang Er in his armor. Wen Zhouzi bowed and said, "Although she is a concubine, my Li family will still treat her with courtesy. However, General, no matter what, she is just a vulgar woman with questionable morals. She is worlds apart from you. Why keep her in your sight? Why not let her go? My Li family will be eternally grateful. Otherwise, no matter what, she is still a member of the Li family. Even if a prince came, we would still fight for her!"
