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

Madam Li sneered, "How do you know if she has any skills? Don't forget that she, a little girl, killed your own brother!"

"Your brother is at least a grown man; it's much harder than him killing your father, isn't it?"

"Mother, how come they're the same!"

The reason that lowly maid killed her brother was because…

"Alright, Mother, I won't say any more to you. Now, please take me to see Father..."

Li Nanyu was filled with doubt, wondering who had killed her father.

"What are you looking at...?"

You don't deserve to be his daughter!

You killed him, you killed your brother...

You're a jinx!

"Get out of the Li residence..."

At this point, Madam Li no longer felt any maternal affection for her daughter.

Li Nanyu also became agitated: "Mother, how can you blame me for this?"

If it weren't for my brother's lustful desires and his insistence on forcing that lowly maid, how could such a thing have happened?

"It was my brother who brought this upon himself!"

"What...what did you say?"

Your brother's body is barely cold, and you dare say such a thing?

Madam Li looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Li Nanyu said loudly, "Mother, I am telling the truth."

You spoil him too much, giving him whatever he wants, which has fostered his unruly personality!

If you hadn't done that, how could he have done such a thing?

Even a minor official of the sixth rank only got his position because of the Xiao family's influence.

You've raised him into a useless piece of trash!

"Shut up!" Madam Li raised her hand and slapped Li Nanyu hard across the face. "You unfilial daughter!"

That's your own brother!

Li Nanyu covered her face, her eyes filled with resentment: "So what if he's my own brother?"

In his eyes, I was just a stepping stone!

Now that he's dead, you're blaming me?

Madam Li was so angry that she trembled all over.

you………

You ungrateful wretch...

The Li family raised you to adulthood, and this is how you repay them?

Li Nanyu sneered, "Mother, I don't want to argue with you about these things. Now that the person is dead, it's meaningless."

Besides, I've already given the Li family so much help over the years, so I don't owe you anything.

Please stop taking your anger out on me. Instead, think about how to arrange Father's funeral!

Looking at her unfamiliar daughter, Madam Li felt a chill in her heart: "Fine..."

it is good……

Since that's what you think, then get out of the Li family!

I don't have a daughter like you!

Li Nanyu laughed, a laugh tinged with sarcasm. "Get lost?"

Hahaha………

Now my younger brother is dead, my father is dead, and I'm the only one left in the Li family.

Only I can avenge my brother, only I can avenge my father, only I can hold this family together!

Madam Li was so angry she could barely speak, and scoffed, "What can a woman like you do?"

Li Nanyu straightened her back and asked, "What's wrong with the woman?"

I'm much smarter than that idiot brother of mine.

My brother is dead, but we still have my nephew Chong'an.

I will nurture him into a capable person and let him inherit the Li family business.

Now, the Li family needs me to take charge.

The entire Li family cannot do without me!

From now on, I'll be in charge of everything in the Li household!

As for you, Mother, please enjoy your retirement in peace!

Upon hearing this, Madam Li trembled with rage.

She never expected her daughter to be so cold-hearted, speaking of her brother's death so casually.

She lunged forward, trying to grab her daughter: "You heartless thing..."

They even dared to think of taking over the Li family mansion.

How could I have given birth to a daughter like you…

Li Nanyu instinctively pushed, and Madam Li staggered a few steps, slipped, and hit her head hard on the corner of the table.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Blood gushed from Madam Li's forehead, quickly staining the ground red.

Her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't believe what had happened, and then slowly lost their light.

"mother……

"Mother?" Li Nanyu reached out her hand tremblingly, but dared not touch her mother who was lying on the ground.

Granny Wang screamed, "Madam! Madam, what's wrong?!"

She rushed to Madam Li's side, checked her breath, and then turned deathly pale: "No..."

She's out of breath...

The lady is dead...

Young lady, you killed Madam…

Li Nanyu stumbled back a few steps, bumping into the wall, her eyes filled with terror: "No..."

It wasn't me...

I didn't mean to..."

Granny Wang raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment: "Young Miss, you killed your own mother... This old servant will go and report you to the authorities..."

Li Nanyu suddenly grabbed Wang Mama's arm, "Mama, don't report this to the authorities..."

Granny Wang struggled, "You wicked, matriarchal daughter, this old servant will definitely report you to the authorities..."

Granny Wang was the lady's dowry maid, and the two had a very good relationship.

Fear and despair overwhelmed Li Nanyu.

She knew that if this got out, she would be completely finished.

In her panic, she saw a celadon vase on the table next to her, decorated with exquisite lotus patterns.

Almost without thinking, Li Nanyu grabbed the vase and smashed it hard against Granny Wang's head.

With a muffled thud, the vase shattered, and Granny Wang's body collapsed limply to the ground, her blood mingling with the porcelain shards.

The room was deathly silent, except for Li Nanyu's heavy breathing.

Dongkui stood in the corner, terrified out of her wits.

She witnessed it all: the young lady killed the madam, and then killed Granny Wang.

She tried to scream, but no sound came out.

He wanted to run away, but his legs felt as heavy as lead.

Li Nanyu slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Dongkui.

Her eyes were vacant, and her face was splattered with blood, making her look like a demon crawling out of hell.

Li Nanyu's voice was hoarse, "Winter Okra..."

You saw what just happened...

Dongkui trembled, tears streaming silently down her face: "Miss..."

I………

I didn't see anything..."

Li Nanyu gave a wry smile: "Do you think I would believe that?"

She slowly walked towards Dongkui, a dagger appearing in her hand at some point, gleaming coldly in the candlelight.

"Winter Okra, I'm sorry... I can't keep you here..."

Li Nanyu's voice carried a hint of apology, but more so a resolute tone.

"Don't blame me..."

Dongkui wanted to escape, but fear had rendered her unable to move.

She could only watch helplessly as Li Nanyu raised the dagger, its cold light flashing, and thrust it straight towards her chest.

At this critical moment, a dark figure leaped in through the window with lightning speed.

The man in black also held a dagger, but his target was not Dong Kui, but Li Nanyu.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a thin line of blood appeared on Li Nanyu's neck.

Her movements suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but only made strange noises.

Then, her body slowly fell to the ground, and the dagger in her hand clattered to the ground.

Dongkui was shocked and terrified. She stared blankly at the bloody scene before her, then everything went black and she fainted.

The man in black continued searching, found a few pieces of paper in a drawer, glanced at them, and stuffed them into his pocket.

The man in black turned to look at Dong Kui, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He seemed to be hesitating about something, but ultimately made a decision.

He walked towards the winter mallow.

He picked it up, then walked to the candlestick and knocked it to the ground.

The candlelight quickly ignited the curtains, and the raging fire began to spread.

The man in black, carrying the winter melon, leaped lightly out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Behind him, Li Nanyu's room had been engulfed in flames.

The fire spread rapidly, alarming the entire Li residence.

The servants frantically carried buckets of water to put out the fire. Shouts, cries, and the sounds of things collapsing were all mixed together, and the Li mansion was in complete chaos.

By the time the fire was finally extinguished, it was almost dawn.

Three charred bodies were found in the ruins. Based on their location, they were believed to be Li Nanyu, Granny Wang, and Madam Li.

Overnight, the Li family lost all its masters, leaving only the young grandson, Li Chong'an.

The steward suppressed his grief and, while handling the funeral arrangements, sent someone to report to the authorities.

The government sent people to investigate, but the site had been severely damaged by the fire, making it difficult to find any valuable clues.

Ultimately, the case was classified as a burglary, robbery, murder, and arson attempt to cover up the crime, becoming an unsolved case.

The next day, news spread throughout the streets and alleys that the master, mistress, young master, and young lady of the Li family had all died.
