Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 210 Young Master Li

Yunyi's lips twitched as she listened. Although the original owner's mother was no longer there, it seemed that her legends were almost everywhere.

"You mean that woman took the pills out of a bracelet like this?" Yunyi examined the bracelet on her wrist. She had studied it before, but she hadn't found any mechanism or anything like that.

“Yes.” Li Guangzhao nodded. “Although a long time has passed, I still remember that bracelet vividly. Besides being dark, the pattern on it was also unique. I thought to myself, ‘This fairy is different. Even wearing such an ugly bracelet, she still looks beautiful.’”

Yunyi nodded, saying that what she said made some sense: "Did you see how she took the pills?"

“I remember she did this and then that…” Li Guangzhao gestured, “and then the bracelet broke in the middle, and it was empty inside, from which a golden pill was poured out.”

Yunyi took off the bracelet and tried to turn it around in the same way Li Guangzhao had done, but the bracelet didn't move at all. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Perhaps this is just a beautiful misunderstanding?"

“Impossible.” Li Guangzhao shook his head.

Yunyi could only change the subject: "Weren't you looking for your advisor? I think I know where he is."

"Where is it?" Sure enough, Li Guangzhao's attention was diverted.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be in... the courtyard with the sycamore trees in the back."

Upon hearing this, Li Guangzhao turned and left.

Yunyi thought about it and decided to go and see what was going on, after all... she had also contributed.

There were already quite a few people in that abandoned courtyard, because Wang Kai had brought his constables over, but they all retreated as soon as they entered. They were wondering how to report to Li Guangzhao when he himself arrived.

Upon seeing this, Li Guangzhao closed his eyes slightly, then pushed open the door and went inside.

On the rooftop, Hong nudged Yunyi: "Young Miss, what happened?"

"It's just that someone is having an affair."

Hong Yi shrugged and said, "My God, this Lord Li is quite pitiful."

“Who can argue with that?” Yunyi nodded. “Being a woman isn’t easy.”

"Huh?" Hong frowned. "Miss, your exclamation is wrong. She's acting recklessly, how can you say it's not easy?"

"What if men are promiscuous?"

Hong was taken aback for a moment.

“If it’s a man, even if he’s married, he can just take a concubine. No one will say there’s anything wrong with a man sleeping with a woman. But if a married woman is promiscuous, then she’s doomed.” Yunyi took a deep breath. “I’m not saying that it’s right for a woman to have an affair. In fact, both types of promiscuity should be criticized. I’m just lamenting the unfairness.”

“What the young lady said seems to make a lot of sense, but that’s how it has always been.”

Yunyi didn't say anything more. After all, Hongyi was a person of this era, and everyone generally believed that men should have three wives and four concubines, while women should depend on men. Her opinion was not wrong; it was just a characteristic of the times.

Although she possessed abilities slightly beyond those of the average person, she was still unable to change society as a whole.

The unconscious man, woman, and maid in the room had all been awakened by being splashed with cold water.

Master Liu was so frightened that he wet himself, while Madam Li, Zheng Guilan... perhaps knowing that she was doomed, did not cry or make a fuss, but only begged to live, using her child as a plea.

For reasons unknown, Li Guangzhao did not kill anyone, but instead ordered his wife to be imprisoned. As for Liu the clerk... he was temporarily locked up in jail.

"Dad, what happened?" The son and daughter rushed over after receiving the news.

"This has nothing to do with you. Go back."

"That's Mother! How can we say there's no connection?" The eldest son, Li Zhongyu, raised his voice. "Father, is there some misunderstanding?"

Zheng Guilan, who had been calm, became anxious upon seeing her son and daughter: "Ayu, let's go back."

"Mother, tell Father it's a misunderstanding, please tell me."

Zheng Guilan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Li Guangzhao looked at his eldest son, his feelings incredibly complicated: "They've caught them in the act, what misunderstanding could there be?" He glanced at Zheng Guilan and Liu Bencai, "I never expected them to be so bold as to commit adultery right under my nose. Do they think I'm stupid?"

“How could this be?” Li Zhongyu frowned. “Mother has always been quiet and gentle, how could she…”

"With so many people watching, do you think I would wrongly accuse her?" Li Guangzhao shouted sharply. "Go back."

Li Zhongyu's words were immediately choked in his throat, and his youngest daughter, Li Cuixia, shrank back, after all, she had never seen her father so angry before. She then tugged at her brother's sleeve: "Brother, let's go back."

"But……"

"Brother, we can't solve this problem."

"No, that's Mother! That Liu the clerk must have coerced her!" Li Zhongyu shoved his sister aside. "Father, I want to ask him..."

“Alright,” Li Guangzhao suddenly calmed down. “Ask away.”

Li Zhongyu walked over step by step and stopped in front of Master Liu: "Master Liu, my father has always treated you well, why did you frame my mother like this?"

Liu Bencai opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.

“My mother has always been timid. What excuse did you use to threaten her into submission to you?” Li Zhongyu stared intently at Liu Bencai. “Speak!”

"I...I drugged her." Liu Bencai looked at Li Zhongyu, and finally gave a bitter smile. "Sir, it was despicable of me. The lady was coerced by me. I only wish to die." As he spoke, he pushed away the yamen runners holding him and crashed into a pillar next to him.

Before anyone could react, Yunyi had already anticipated it. So, the moment the other person hit the pillar, the small stone in her hand flew out and hit the back of the other person's knee, causing him to kneel down with a thud.

"Young Miss, how did you know he was going to commit suicide?" Hong Yi's eyes lit up.

"His son is pressuring him," Yun Yi clicked her tongue twice. "I didn't expect this man to truly love that Madam Li. But it's too easy for him to die like this." If he dies, there's no way to implicate Liu the Rich Man, and Wu Cuicui will still be at large. How can that be allowed?

"His son? Forced him? My God, could this young master Li be..." Hong Yi covered her mouth in surprise, clearly shocked, "And, he even knew it himself?"

Yunyi didn't speak. Judging from his current behavior, this young master Li must know about his background. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced Master Liu to die in order to protect his mother. He's smart and ruthless, but unfortunately, he used his intelligence in the wrong place. However, she didn't want to see what would happen next. She then yawned and said, "Let's go back to sleep."
