I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

To everyone's astonishment, Butler Li slid in and knocked Zhou Xubai to the ground.

The situation became awkward for a moment.

"Um, in the heat of the moment, I couldn't stop!"

Butler Li explained briefly and hurriedly helped Zhou Xubai up.

"Sir, if you're going to stab someone, stab me!"

Zhou Xubai rubbed his lower back incessantly with both hands and said irritably:

"Old Li, what are you doing here causing trouble? Don't you know that my child was switched by my older brother's family back then?"

However, to his surprise, Butler Li actually nodded.

"I know!"

Before Zhou Xubai could ask, Butler Li turned his gaze to Zhou Shi'an.

The next moment, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Young Master, it was I who sent Young Master Shi Jin to the Northeast back then!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room stood up, completely unable to believe what they had just heard.

Butler Li had worked for the Zhou family for nearly thirty years, and had even saved Zhou Xubai's life back then.

No one could have imagined that he would be involved in the child swapping incident years ago.

"Old Li, what did you say?"

"Butler Li, why did you do this?"

Faced with the couple's questions, Butler Li remained silent for a few seconds.

"This is a long story, let me tell you one."

Everyone: "..."

Wow, today's events have been quite bizarre and convoluted.

Why does everyone have a story?

Zhou Shi'an frowned and went forward to help Steward Li.

"Uncle Li, stand up and speak."

This wasn't because he was a saint; after all, he was someone the other person had watched grow up.

In his heart, he had long regarded Steward Li as a family member, so how could he allow an elder to kneel in front of him now?

However, Butler Li's legs seemed to be rooted to the ground, and even Zhou Shi'an could not easily lift him up.

"Young master, a mistake is a mistake. When you're in this business, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you get beaten."

These are the rules of the game; rules cannot be broken. Please let me finish what I have to say.

At this moment, Steward Li changed his usual kind demeanor and unconsciously revealed a hint of banditry.

Seeing this, Zhou Shi'an didn't dare to continue persuading him, and instinctively took a step back to the side.

"Actually, my original name was Li Changqing. Back then, I was the youngest Double Flower Red Pole in the Hong Kong Hung Society."

Because of his youthful arrogance and love of fighting, he secretly made many enemies.

My only sister was killed in revenge by our enemies, her body mutilated and torn to pieces.

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Butler Li's eyes.

"In a fit of rage, I single-handedly wiped out three rival factions with a single sword strike, and I can't even remember how many people I killed."

Although I have avenged my great enemy, I have lost the spirit of a young man.

Disheartened, I left the Hongmen and came to Kyoto.

Upon hearing Butler Li's words, Zhou Xubai's eyes widened instantly.

"Damn, no wonder you were able to save me from over twenty thugs back then. You were that fierce before?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and suddenly raised his voice.

"That's not right, it wasn't me who killed your sister, why are you blaming my son?"

Faced with Zhou Xubai's questioning, Butler Li seemed to recall some sad memories, and his expression became somewhat dejected.

"My sister and I never knew who our parents were when we were little. We were only able to have enough to eat thanks to Longtou's adoption."

The young lady never looked down on us siblings; in fact, she took good care of us.

Unfortunately, she fell in love with the wrong person.

Hearing this, everyone was completely bewildered, still not understanding what this had to do with him swapping children.

Wen Shuran's eyes turned cold as she stared intently at her husband.

Zhou Xubai glanced at Butler Li with a strange expression: "Um, that young lady you mentioned, could it be that she's fallen in love with me?"

Was it because she hated me out of love that she made you switch my child?

"Wait a minute, I haven't been in contact with any other women. Could it be a crush?"

Butler Li: "..."

If he hadn't known Zhou Xubai's unreliable personality, he would have definitely stood up and fought him to the death based on what the other party had just said.

He shook his head and continued, "I saved you by chance back then, even though I thought you were ignorant and unreliable."

But I envy you, because you live a very clear and insightful life.

I thought everything was on the right track, and I could start a new life.

But when my wife was nine months pregnant, I received a phone call from my eldest daughter.

At this point, Butler Li turned his gaze to Zhou Shi'an.

"The young lady said that she blocked someone's way and was chased all the way to the mainland."

Because the other party is so powerful, I'm the only person she can trust.

I hope that, considering our past relationship, I can protect her unborn child.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

Zhou Shi'an seemed to have figured something out, and said with a serious expression, "I... am the child of the young lady you mentioned?"

"Yes!" As soon as Butler Li finished speaking, Zhou Xubai grabbed his collar.

"Damn you, Lao Li, I treated you like a brother, and you switched my child because of this?"

You could have just said it directly: it's not like the Zhou family can't afford to raise a child!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xubai realized that he might have gone a bit too far.

He quickly turned around and looked at Zhou Shi'an apologetically:

"Son, don't misunderstand, Dad didn't mean anything by it."

Zhou Shi'an shook his head and remained silent.

Butler Li sighed deeply: "It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on us."

Two weeks before the eldest daughter's due date, I arranged for her to stay at the Zhou family's hospital.

Unexpectedly, she gave birth on the same day as the lady of the house.

However, the young lady suffered from hidden injuries during her escape, and lacked the will to survive.

She passed away shortly after giving birth.

At this point, he turned his gaze to Wen Shuran.

"Madam, do you remember when you went to the emergency room after giving birth?"

Wen Shuran's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she still nodded: "I remember. What does this have to do with you switching children?"

"Oh dear~~~ I had just walked out of the delivery room with my baby when I heard that the young mistress of the Zhou family had been rushed to the emergency room due to a difficult childbirth."

In a moment of panic, I casually placed the young master on a bench in the corridor.

However, halfway there I realized that the child was the young lady's only bloodline.

Fearing something might go wrong, I rushed back to check.

As they were talking, Butler Li looked at Wang Guilan with a strange expression.

"I never expected to witness the children being switched."

I quickly hid in the shadows, and an absurd idea popped into my head.

Since the child has already been switched, why not go with the flow and leave the young master in the Zhou family for better protection?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin, who had been silent all along, immediately objected.

"Old Li, since we're already making a mistake, why did you decide to send me to that freezing, desolate place in Northeast China?"

"Don't you know I almost froze into an icicle?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Butler Li gave Zhou Shijin a complicated look.

"There's nothing I can do. The Zhou family is very powerful, and I figured things would eventually come to light."

The young master's background is already a sensitive issue, and I was afraid he would be in dire straits at that time.

Therefore, you were entrusted to your good brother with whom you had a life-or-death bond, who is also your adoptive father, Zhou Dafu.

Butler Li's last words instantly silenced everyone in the room...
