Chapter 12 - II
Li Tianyan, who had not gone far, heard clearly the conversation between Hong Man and Li Wan. He paused slightly before continuing to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
He thought that the person who poisoned the original body to death was someone from Madam Li. Now it seemed that Hong Man really didn’t want Li Tianyan to die. At most, she just wanted to destroy his body. Who was the person behind the deadly poisoning?
Li Tianyan didn’t want to embarrass himself if he didn’t understand. At most, he should pay more attention in the future. Anyway, if someone wanted to attack him again, it wouldn’t be easy to succeed.
Li Tianyan walked back leisurely. The closer he got to Qingzhu Courtyard, the more he felt something was wrong. A few mixed smells were intertwined with the familiar fragrance. Could it be a stranger had entered Qingzhu Courtyard?
.
“Have no one taught you the rules of the Li Mansion before?”
“I asked Xiao Liu to sleep in the same room with me, and I asked him to sleep on the bed with me. It’s all my fault. Don’t hit Xiao Liu.” Already knowing that he was the one causing the trouble, Cheng Qi pushed away the people and ran to hug Xiao Liu, still crying.
“Young madam, please don’t come over here, be careful of getting hurt.” Xiao Liu persuaded him when he saw Cheng Qi being pushed away by the servant.
“Young madam, please don’t make things difficult for us; otherwise, it will be bad if we accidentally hurt you. Everyone has to follow the rules. If we don’t punish Xiao Liu today, then all the servants in the house will follow suit. What will happen?” After finishing speaking, Aunt Xing looked at Xiao Liu with her slender eyes.
“You have reached the age. It just so happens that Li Shen in the mansion hasn’t found a suitable one yet. If you agree to marry Li Shen, we will forget about today’s matter.”
Li Shen used to be a guard in the mansion and had already reached the fifth level. Unfortunately, after he injured his leg, he could only work as a servant. Even after turning seventy this year, he was still single. In the past two days, he quietly approached Aunt Xing and gave her some money, hoping she could help find him a wife.
“I belong to the third young master. Only the young master can decide whether I will stay or go.” Xiao Liu replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
“You’re still stubborn now.” Aunt Xing ordered a few servants, “Beat me hard. If he’s knocked unconscious, just carry him away.”
Hearing this, the two men holding Xiao Liu guarded him, one on the left and the other on the right. The shuanger was pinned to the ground, and a servant raised his stick to hit him, but the stick in his hand suddenly disappeared before it fell. Before anyone could react, several servants were hit with a stick on the back and fell to the ground.
“What are you doing in my courtyard?” Li Tianyan glanced around with a stick in his hand. These servants were all third-level warriors. If he hadn’t come back, Cheng Qi would have been overwhelmed.
“They want to beat Xiao Liu to death, young master, I beg you, don’t let them bully Xiao Liu, please save Xiao Liu.” Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan as if seeing a life-saving straw and said incoherently.
After hearing this, Li Tianyan glared at the strong woman in front of him. The little shuanger didn’t say a word when he was whipped, but today he was crying like this. Li Tianyan could even feel Cheng Qi’s despair. What on earth could make him so scared.
“Third young master, don’t listen to what the young madam said. I just follow the rules and punish the servants who don’t follow the rules.” Aunt Xing looked at several servants who fell to the ground after being hit by Li Tianyan with a stick, and her face became restrained a lot.
“What did he commit that would alarm you, a servant from the inner courtyard, and make you come all the way to Qingzhu Courtyard to discipline my servants?” Li Tianyan didn’t believe her words, why would she ask the third-level warrior to punish someone? Even ordinary people could be killed with just a few blows from a third level warrior, let alone a shuanger.
