Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"You bastard!"

Zhao Ergou is your personal servant. He said so, how could it be false?

"How dare I warn you? You still dare to act recklessly!"

Li the rich man was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father, I didn't, I really didn't, I didn't even touch that girl's hand."

If you don't believe me, you can ask her!

As for the servants, they didn't even encounter those two people; instead, they were beaten so badly they cried for their parents.

Father, it's actually this girl who has poisoned their eyes. They're afraid of dying, so they're slandering me like this.

Dad, I'm your son!

You don't trust me, but you trust these outsiders instead.

Look at our son! Look what he's been beaten up like this!"

As Li Yulong spoke, he rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing bruises.

Li the rich man was stunned, thinking to himself that this girl was too ruthless.

Although his son was also a good-for-nothing scoundrel.

At this moment, Tao'er spoke coldly, "Master Li, you must know your son's character better than we do."

I do not deny that the injuries on his body were inflicted by me!

But he was the one who tried to take advantage of me first, and all I did was defend myself.

Fearing that Li the rich would blame his sister, Liu Tiezhu quickly explained, "Master Li, what my sister said is the truth. It was the second young master Li who bullied her first, and my sister had no choice but to take action against him."

"If you insist on avenging your son, then I will stay and accept your punishment."

I can't let my little sister get hurt even if something happens to me.

Chen Shuigen quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Li, this whole thing is my fault, this old man."

I originally came here to discuss buying your house in Xinghua Village.

I never expected something like this to happen.

However, I, this old man, can assure you that this matter is indeed not Tao's fault.

"You're so kind, please don't make things difficult for these two children."

"Father, don't listen to their nonsense. They're not here to talk to you about anything important."

They came prepared!

That vile woman carries poison. Look at these servants; they've all been poisoned by her.

Father, please don't let them go! They have ulterior motives and are harboring evil intentions!

You should arrest them immediately and send them to the authorities to prevent future trouble.

Li Yulong recalled what had just happened; these henchmen were now blind.

What else could this be but poisoning?

He was secretly pleased, finally able to turn the tables and take the lead.

Upon hearing that it was poison, the bound servants turned pale with fright and knelt down in unison, pleading, "Please, young lady, give us the antidote!"

"We were only following orders from the Second Young Master; we didn't actually intend to kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Li the rich man's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Miss, even if you want to defend yourself, you can't poison my servants, can you?"

Isn't this a bit too cruel?

"Please, young lady, provide the antidote and help them cure the poison!"

Although these servants followed the second son in committing atrocities, they should not all lose their lives.

Tao'er knew they all thought the chili water was poison, so she explained, "Master Li, they weren't poisoned, so why would I have an antidote?"

This is our first meeting, and I have absolutely no prior connection with the Li family. Why would I bring poison to your Li family?

Those aren't poison, they're just pepper spray!

Just have them rinse their eyes with plenty of water!

Master Li waved his hand, "Go and fetch a few basins of clean water."

The servants quickly washed their eyes and found that the pain had subsided and they could see again.

When Master Li saw it, he believed what Tao'er said; she had not poisoned them.

"Master Li, now you see, this is not poison!"

Your son has been lying to you all along!

If it weren't for the fact that this rich man Li wasn't the kind of person who would leave without distinguishing right from wrong, she would have left long ago.

"You're talking nonsense, you slut!"

You are the one who slandered me and framed me.

You clearly wanted to be the second young mistress of the Li family and tried to seduce me!

I don't want you, yet you slander me and hurt my people!

Father, don't believe her..."

Li Yulong started making wild accusations.

Tao'er was taken aback. She never expected that Li Yulong could lie so easily. It really opened her eyes.

Even when she's about to die, they still want to smear her with dirty water!

"Young Master Li, you bastard! How dare you slander my little sister! You're asking for death!"

Liu Tiezhu felt his blood boil and, after cursing, was about to step forward and beat Li Yulong.

But they were stopped by a young man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He spoke humbly, first bowing to Li the rich man and calling him "Father".

Then he turned to Liu Tiezhu and said, "Young man, please have mercy."

It was indeed my elder brother who was rude first and insulted your sister.

I apologize to you on his behalf.

Tao'er looked at the young man in brocade robes in front of her, her eyes full of questions.

"Miss, I'm sorry, my name is Li Chenhao, and I am Li Yulong's younger brother."

I hope you can let my brother off this time.

He was spoiled from a young age, so he became somewhat willful and reckless.

"Li Chenhao, who do you think you are? Get the hell out of here!"

Not only did you not help me, you even apologized to these lowly people?

Are you out of your mind?

"Does our Li family still have any face left?"

Li Yulong started cursing at Li Chenhao.

Tao'er then realized that they were two brothers, and so at odds.

Ignoring Li Yulong, Li Chenhao instead cupped his hands and said to his father, Li Caizhu, "Father, what this young lady said is true. It was indeed my elder brother's fault."

I just overheard my older brother saying he was wrong, that he wouldn't do it again, and that it was some kind of misunderstanding.

"Father, I didn't. Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense. He's just jealous that I have a mother who loves me, while he doesn't."

He deliberately tried to kill me!

Li Yulong pointed at Li Chenhao and started cursing.

Two loud slaps!

"You bastard, how could I have given birth to such a dog!"

Chenhao is your own brother, how could you insult him like that?

Have you forgotten everything I taught you?

Guards, lock the second young master in the ancestral hall and make him kneel and reflect on his actions for a month.

They were not given food or water for three days!

No one is allowed to visit, including the wife!

Second brother, have someone keep an eye on your eldest brother and make sure he doesn't run away.

Master Li was so angry that he waved his hand and gave the order.

"Yes, Father."

Li Chenhao responded, and Tao'er saw a smug smile on his face.

Liu Yulong was dragged away by the servants.

Then Mr. Li apologized to the three of them, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry you had to see this!"

What a misfortune for our family!

What a misfortune for our family!

Village head, young lady and young man, the three of you, come with me to the main hall for a meeting!

"Didn't you just say you wanted to buy my house in Xinghua Village?"

Chen Shuigen looked at Tao'er and asked her what she thought.

Tao'er nodded. "Grandpa Chen, since Master Li has said so, let's go talk about buying the house!"

Master Li led them to the main hall, where he ordered his men to serve them refreshments and tea, showing great courtesy.
