Chapter 1142 - 923 The Truth 2 (End of the Month Request for Monthly Tickets and Extra Updates)_3
"Madam! Madam, something terrible has happened, a big crisis!"The Li Family’s steward rushed in hurriedly from outside, shouting loudly that something terrible had happened.
He repeatedly called for the madam.
"What terrible thing has happened?
Li Bo, can you speak properly?"
Madam Li rubbed her temples with a headache.
"Madam, it’s truly a big crisis. I went to find the master, but they absolutely refused to deliver the message. Later, I tried bribing with a lot of money, yet no one dared to take it. I suspect something might be amiss here. There’s a big crisis brewing!"
Li Bo’s words finally made Madam Li aware of the urgency.
"What are you saying? What exactly has happened?
In the past, such things never occurred!"
"Indeed, madam, it appears our Li Family is in grave trouble now. Please think of a solution quickly!"
"Madam, please think of a solution!"
Others also anxiously urged her.
"Stop clamoring, all of you return, collect the valuables, and find reliable people to hide them carefully. Don’t let any news leak. I will try to figure out what exactly happened."
When Madam Li spoke these words, everyone present turned pale with disbelief and exclaimed, "Can’t be true, madam, are we... are we going to be raided?"
The second Madam of the Li Family covered her mouth in shock, and afterward, everyone’s face turned deathly pale!
"Weren’t you all here begging me to think of a solution?
This is my solution: you’ve all come here to make a fuss, just to find out if the second master’s arrest is related to the master?
Is our Li Family going to be raided and punished?"
A group of people remained silent, none daring to speak up.
"If you are truly worried, then do as I say. If you’re not worried, stop whining here and get back to your rooms, don’t add to my troubles!"
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Li Bo, prepare the carriage for me. I’m going to the National Master’s Mansion!"
Madam Li boarded the carriage and hurried towards the National Master’s Mansion.
"Madam has arrived."
Knowing the importance of the matter, Li Bo personally drove the carriage.
"Li Bo, take the master’s note to the gatekeeper, tell them I have an urgent matter to discuss!"
Li Bo left, only to return empty-handed.
"Madam, the people at the National Master’s Mansion refused to see us, they wouldn’t even accept our note! What should we do?"
"What did you say? The people at the National Master’s Mansion refused to see us?"
"Yes, the National Master’s people heard it was from the Li Mansion, they outright waved us away, saying if we don’t leave, they’ll release the dogs on us!"
"The National Master’s Mansion, they’re overreaching!"
Madam Li clutched her handkerchief tightly, nearly tearing it apart.
"Li Yanyan, let’s go to the hall, let Li Yanyan speak for us, and take us to see the National Master!"
Li Bo immediately turned the carriage towards the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, the doorkeeper, hearing it was for Li Yanyan, didn’t dare delay.
After all, she was the disciple of the National Master, someone no one dared offend.
In the hall, students were having their midday rest when Li Yanyan heard someone was looking for her, she asked.
"Do you know who it is?"
"They said it was the first Madam of the Li Family!"
"Tell them I’m playing with the young princess of the Prince’s Mansion, and you couldn’t get near me to deliver the message!"
The young princess of the Prince’s Mansion tilted her head in confusion, "Yanyan, lying is bad, my mother says those who lie are not good children!"
Li Yanyan quickly explained, "My master told me, if someone from the Li Family comes to the hall looking for me, I should say this, that I cannot meet them!"
The young princess tilted her head again in confusion, "Isn’t your master teaching you to lie?"
"I... I don’t know, all I know is I must listen to my master."
"Mm, mm! You’re right, listening to your master can’t be wrong!"
Upon hearing that Li Yanyan couldn’t come out to see her, Madam Li gritted her teeth.
"Let’s go! Back to the mansion!"
Madam Li hurried back to the mansion and rushed to the courtyard of Li Laotai’s family.
Ever since Li Yanyan and the National Master went to Yunhang, the Li Family’s treatment of this family had worsened significantly.
Originally, the maids and servants in this small courtyard were there to serve this family.
But now, everyone in the courtyard had been withdrawn, and occasionally, some people hid to keep watch.
Especially keeping an eye on Li Laotai, who was trouble personified, constantly relying on her granddaughter being a Lucky Star, acting as if she were the matriarch of the Li Mansion, making all sorts of demands to the first madam.
So Madam Li employed some tactics, managing to keep Li Laotai subdued, staying within her courtyard all day, diligently caring for her son and her bedridden, blind daughter-in-law.
