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

Without even glancing at Li Yulong again, Li the Rich turned around, walked to Tao'er, cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a very polite tone, "Miss Liu, it is my fault for failing to raise my son properly, which has frightened you."

I didn’t know this unfilial son would dare to cause trouble. I will definitely discipline him properly when I get back!

Consider these things as an apology.

Li the rich man was indeed furious. His face was as dark as a black inkstone, and he wished he could beat his good-for-nothing son to death.

Not only did he embarrass himself, but he also offended Miss Liu!

That's the God of Wealth, how can we offend him!

He waved to the back, and several people carried in some wooden boxes.

The villagers were very curious, craning their necks to see what good things Li the rich man had given them.

"Open the package and let Miss Liu take a look."

Li the rich man waved his hand and spoke.

When I opened it, I was filled with sighs again.

The box contained several bolts of high-quality cotton fabric, as well as two bolts of brightly colored Shu brocade from Jiangnan.

Most of the Shu brocade from Jiangnan was presented as tribute to the ladies of the palace.

This time, the wealthy Mr. Li's apology was truly sincere.

There were also snacks, tea, brown sugar, wheat flour, and even refined rice—all practical and useful items.

Tao'er thought to herself, "This rich man Li is really generous!"

This time, he might become famous even if he didn't want to.

However, this is also a good thing. Even a wealthy family like Li Caizhu treats her so politely, so others will no longer dare to look down on them.

She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Li Yulong on the ground, then at Li the Rich, and nodded. "Master Li, then Tao'er will accept it without hesitation. After all, my parents were quite frightened by this incident."

Li the rich man was taken aback, then laughed: This girl is really interesting!

They didn't even exchange a couple of polite words.

However, this girl was courageous and capable, and her family's pharmacy and restaurant business improved significantly because of her.

The second son also gained the favor of a nobleman because of that ginseng, and from then on, the Li family was no longer just a simple wealthy merchant family.

"Hahaha……

If Miss Liu says this, it means she accepts my apology, then I'm at ease.

"In the future, if you have any good medicinal herbs or good game, you'll still send them to the Li family's shop, right?"

If this matter upsets the girl and she refuses to do business with their family, he'll beat this unfilial son to death when he gets back!

"Of course, as long as the Li family's shops are still managed by Young Master Li."

If it were someone else, I would definitely change my mind.

Mr. Li, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I see that it wasn't easy for you to accumulate this family fortune over the years.

Just a word of advice: you must be very careful when choosing a successor, otherwise your century-old business could be ruined in an instant, which would be a huge loss.

I'll let this matter drop today out of consideration for the relationship between Master Li and the Second Young Master.

Li the wealthy man immediately cupped his hands and said, "I will remember Miss Liu's perfect match."

Don't worry, I've already handed over most of the shops to my son Chenhao to manage.

I used to cling to the old ways, but now I realize that sometimes you have to break with the old ways.

"Since Mr. Li has figured it out, it's not too late."

We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!

Tao'er smiled and nodded, then glanced disdainfully at Li Yulong kneeling on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Li Yulong immediately stood up, pointed at Tao'er, and cursed, "You shameless hussy, how dare you sow discord in front of my father and spout nonsense!"

I'll beat you to death!

After saying that, he was about to rush in front of Tao'er when Li Chenhao, who had flashed over, kicked him to the ground.

"Brother, you've already done something wrong, offending Miss Liu and her family. How could you hit her?"

"Li Chenhao, who do you think you are?"

You dare hit me!

You bastard!

You're just as despicable as your mother!

You should just die and find peace, just like your mother!

"Let me tell you, don't even think about taking my place! I'll have my mother kill you!"

Li Yulong got up in a fit of rage and started cursing.

Go ahead and curse!

The harsher the scolding, the more determined your father will be to give you up!

Li Chenhao sneered inwardly, then put on a look of utter grief, "Big brother, I have always respected you and always put you first."

Why do you still curse me and insult my mother?

My mother has been dead for so many years, how could you do this...?

I never intended to compete with you for anything, how could you treat me like this?

Li the rich man was so angry that his veins bulged. He grabbed his eldest son and slapped him several times before throwing him to the ground, cursing, "You bastard! He's your own brother! You're cursing him to die?"

And your mother, is this how she always taught you?

I'll beat you to death!

Li the rich man was still not satisfied and looked around, looking for a stick.

Ayan emerged from the crowd at some point. "Grandpa, are you looking for a stick?"

He was holding a stick as thick as a fist.

"Thank you, little one!"

Li the rich man took the stick and, without any hesitation, immediately ordered, "You guys hold him down. I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"

Let him know who's in charge!

Two servants came out and pinned Li Yulong down, preventing him from moving.

He could only desperately beg for mercy, "Dad, please don't hit me, I know I was wrong!"

Unfortunately, it was no use; Li the rich man was already furious.

Li Chenhao was overjoyed, but he still pretended to pull his father, saying, "Dad, don't get sick from all this."

My brother probably didn't mean it; he used to say things like that to me all the time, I'm used to it!

On the surface, they were pleading for leniency, but in reality, they were adding fuel to the fire and filing a complaint.

Li the rich man was stunned. "Chen Hao, what did you say?"

"Does Yulong often say that to you?"

"Yes, he often said that in front of the servants, and his stepmother would just watch and laugh."

They even made me live in a pigsty and wouldn't let me eat!"

Li the rich man was absolutely furious.

Pushing Li Chenhao away, she said, "Chenhao, you've suffered so much these past years."

"Get out of my way, I'm going to beat this unfilial son to death!"

And so, Li the landlord continued to beat the pig, and its pig-like screams echoed throughout the courtyard.

Tao'er initially watched the show quietly, but Li Chenhao was quite adept at using others to do his dirty work, which secured his position in the Li family.

He seems to be a cunning and scheming guy, but fortunately he doesn't have any ill intentions towards their family.

otherwise……

Having watched the spectacle for a while, Tao'er, fearing someone might die, quickly had someone pull Li the rich man away.

Li the rich man finally regained his senses and dropped the wooden stick.

Then he waved to the servants behind him: "Take him back and lock him up. He is not allowed to leave the room without my permission."

Once it's ready, dump it in a village on the outskirts of town.

Several servants quickly got up and helped Li Yulong out.

Li Yulong had already fainted; he was unaware that his recklessness had ruined his life.

The noisy courtyard finally quieted down.

The villagers gradually dispersed, still discussing what had just happened as they walked away. They said that Master Li had finally done something sensible, and that Tao'er was a capable girl who had even managed to buy a house.

Most of the people had left, and Li Chenhao was the last one to arrive.

As he was leaving the hospital, he glanced back at Tao'er, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said two words: "Thank you."

Tao'er was taken aback for a moment, then understood. She smiled at him but didn't say anything.

Li Chenhao smiled, then turned and left.

The eldest brother came over and asked, "Little sister, what brings Master Li and Second Young Master Li here?"

And they even sent so many apologies?

The second brother explained with a smile, "Big brother, it was my little sister who told me to tell Young Master Li."

I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

My little sister is truly a brilliant strategist!

"Little Peach Girl, you scared your mother to death just now!"

"That young master Li brought so many people."

Zhang Su'e had just thought her daughter was going to be bullied.

"Mother, with me here, I won't let anyone hurt us again."

"Su'e, our daughter is very clever!"

You won't be bullied.

If they dare to lay a hand on us, the three of us men will fight them to the death!

Liu Daniu comforted his wife.

"And me too, they might not be able to beat us!"

I won't let them bully the girls or you.

Qingge clenched her fist.

"And me..."

"And me..."

"We must all protect Sister Peach!"

Ayan and Huanhuan ran out of the house at some point.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing her family so happy, Tao'er smiled too.

It feels so good to have family here!
