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

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li rushed into the room, and upon seeing the scene before them, Mrs. Li screamed and fainted.

Fortunately, the nanny and maidservant next to her helped her up.

"Sir, Madam has fainted."

Master Li waved his hand, "Help Madam downstairs first!"

Afterwards, an old woman and a maid helped Madam Li leave.

Mr. Li staggered and grabbed the door frame, tears streaming down his face. His usually dignified face was now filled with only despair and anger.

Who is it!

Who did this?!

Master Li roared angrily.

The servant boy, Xiao Dong, knelt on the ground, trembling. He stammered for a long time, too frightened to utter a single word.

Xiao Dong, Li Yuxuan's personal servant, will suffer the consequences of his master's death.

That's the master's only son...

Master Li kicked Xiao Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, hard and cursed, "Useless thing, are you mute?"

How do you usually take care of the young master?

"Master, I don't know either... what happened?"

When I left last night... the young master was perfectly fine.

Master Li lifted his robe and sat down in the armchair beside him, his sharp and shrewd eyes sweeping over the kneeling servant on the ground.

He wondered if this servant had killed his son.

Then he thought the possibility was almost zero. If it really was this servant who did it, he would have run away long ago. How could he still be staying in the Li residence?

"Xiao Dong, you said the young master was perfectly fine when you left him last night. Was he alone, or was he resting in one of his concubines' rooms?"

This son is not very capable, but he is a womanizer and has taken one concubine after another.

"Reporting to... Master, the young master was with a maid last night. He chased her away, saying he didn't want anyone to disturb him."

The younger one then went back to his lodgings to rest.

The servant glanced up and inadvertently saw the young master's dead body, wondering if the young master had been killed by that maid.

I couldn't help but think to myself: It's definitely not a good thing for a man to be too philandering!

Upon hearing this, Master Li flew into a rage and slapped, "What?"

You're saying the young master is with a maid?

Which maidservant was she?

And why is that maidservant with the young master?

"Xiao Dong, tell me everything that happened to the young master that night."

This son is having an affair with a maid. Aren't all the concubines and mistresses in the backyard enough for him to sleep with?

If outsiders knew that Li Futian's son had been killed by a maid, how could the Li family save face?

The servant continued, "It seems to be a maid from the young lady's room. I don't know if she was stealing something from the young lady's room, but the young master caught her."

We knocked her unconscious, and then the young master kept her.

I don't know about the smaller ones.

The servant glanced uneasily at the grief-stricken young lady.

Before the servant could speak again, Master Li angrily turned to his daughter, "Nanyu, how could your brother...?"

Xiao Dong said that maid was from your room, what exactly happened?

Li Nanyu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, "Father, actually that maid wasn't from my room..."

Master Li waved his hand, signaling everyone else to leave.

Only his trusted steward remained.

Then, his face turning ashen, he continued, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Li Nanyu struggled to move to the chair, knelt before her father, and slowly recounted everything: the King's order, Tao'er and Ayan's escape and their identities, and the King's warning.

"You mean that vile maid named Tao'er killed your brother, my only son?"

Master Li simply couldn't believe it; how could a weak, lowly maidservant possibly kill a grown man?

Li Nanyu's voice was hoarse as she sobbed uncontrollably, "Father, yes, my brother must have been killed by that vile maid."

No one but her would have the guts to do that!

She's taking revenge on me, and on the Li family.

The daughter was wrong; she didn't know she would endanger her brother's life.

If I had known this would happen, my daughter would have sent the young master and the others to Prince Cheng's residence immediately.

Li Nanyu confessed with every word, her heart filled with boundless hatred.

He swore in his heart: I will never let this wretched maid go!

Master Li slammed his fist heavily on the table: "That wretched woman!"

How dare she kill my son, Li Futian!

I will tear her to pieces!

Report this to the authorities!

Report this to the authorities right now!

Master Li stood up angrily and started shouting.

"Father, no... "

"I can't report this to the authorities..."

Li Nanyu stopped her father, her tone resolute.

Why?

Your brother was brutally murdered, yet the killer remains at large. Why didn't you report it to the authorities?

"Because King Cheng didn't want them to die."

Why?

Li Nanyu shook her head. "My daughter doesn't know either. She just senses that Prince Cheng doesn't want them to die, as if they are very important to him."

Now that we've lost him, he's extremely angry.

If we report this to the authorities, the matter will escalate, and King Cheng will certainly be displeased. He won't let the Li family off the hook then.

Master Li's expression changed: "But..."

Your brother's revenge...

Li Futian was unwilling to accept this...

"Of course, the revenge for killing my brother must be taken, but it cannot be done openly."

A ruthless glint flashed in Li Nanyu's eyes.

"Nanyu, what do you mean by that?"

Li Futian narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with doubt and suspicion.

"Father, this matter can only be investigated secretly."

The lowly maid and the young master both jumped into the Zimu River, their fates unknown.

If they die, they're lucky; they're lucky to have died like this.

If they are still alive...

"If you were still alive, what would you do?"

Li Futian continued to ask.

"Kill him!"

To prevent future troubles!

Li Nanyu made a swift, decisive cut.

"If they were still alive, I would love to tear them to pieces."

Master Li cursed through gritted teeth.

Li Nanyu shook her head: "We can't take action ourselves."

King Cheng has already warned that if anything goes wrong again, the Li family's business will be...

Father, we cannot offend Prince Cheng in this matter, otherwise the Li family will not have a good future.

Although Yu Xuan is gone, the Li family cannot fall.

"Nanyu, do you have a specific plan?"

Furthermore, if that lowly maid and the young master are very important to King Cheng, and we kill them both, won't King Cheng seek revenge later?

Li Futian is a businessman; profit is his top priority.

However, he was unwilling to offend any powerful or influential person, because even if he had money, he couldn't compare to those with power and influence.

"Father, now that lowly maid and the young master have both jumped into the Zimu River, and the Prince Cheng's guards are still looking for them."

As long as we find them faster than them, and then kill them and throw them into the Zimu River, the people in the Prince's Mansion will only think that the two of them drowned. What does that have to do with our Li Mansion?

Besides, we can't do it ourselves, otherwise we'll be implicated sooner or later.

"Nanyu, tell me your idea, and I'll see if it's feasible!"

Li Futian glanced at his tragically dead son, feeling a mix of anger, hatred, and heartbreak.

Fortunately, he has a grandson, otherwise...
