Li was not surprised when he heard that they were leaving, but he was surprised to hear these words coming from Li Shuang's mouth.

Li supported his chin with one hand and looked at the little girl in front of him who wanted to bury her head in his chest. "Have you decided?"

Li Shuang nodded.

"Do you want to leave? I'm asking you."

Li Shuang shook her head honestly. She didn't want to leave. She wished she could stay with Li for the rest of her life.

"So you are willing to sacrifice yourself for your friends? That's really great." Li smiled contemptuously, "As for the repayment you mentioned, would I be short of this little money from you? It's just raising a few children. If you can't do it, sooner or later someone else will be able to do it. It doesn't have to be you."

Just when Li Shuang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Li's words took a sudden turn.

"But do you think you can walk out of this yard alive?" The branch in Li's hand scratched Li Shuang's neck vaguely, "How about we play another game? I'll sit here and allow you to run for five breaths. Let's see if I can kill you directly."

Hearing Li's words, Li Shuang was so frightened that she knelt down in front of her with a plop, tears welling in her eyes but she dared not let them fall, "Li Shuang knows she was wrong, please punish me, Miss."

When a few people not far away saw Li Shuang's action, they were so scared that they jumped up on the spot, and hurriedly ran over and knelt down.

Li didn't even bother to glance at them, and took a sip of the tea Chunmei handed over, "Sister Mei, do you think I'm too gentle to them?"

"Miss, you are indeed too nice to your servants." Chunmei nodded in agreement.

The princess had been playing with slaves since she was a child, and she had no idea how to behave like a master, let alone teach slaves. Although her temperament had changed a lot after she woke up, she didn't care about the master-servant relationship, as could be seen from Wei Shiliu's relaxed attitude in front of the princess.

"Is that so?" Li reflected on herself deeply. As expected, she was only suitable for fighting and killing. Teaching children had to be left to experienced people.

"Sister Mei, you are now in charge of these guys. You can beat them or kill them as you like. Oh, and make them sign a contract before you kill them, so as to avoid trouble in the future."

Li's words perfectly portray the image of a rude and powerful person who does not regard the lives of his servants as human lives.

"Yes." Chunmei responded in a low voice, and enthusiastically led the four people to the side to give them a lecture. She had never thought that after leaving the palace, she would be able to become a teaching nanny one day.

You know what, the effect of training servants from the palace is different.

After a few days, the four little ones became as well-behaved as quails. They would be instinctively afraid of Chunmei. Even the crybaby Liyun could only do her work carefully with red eyes, not daring to shed a single tear.

"Miss, this is their indenture." Chunmei handed the indenture to Li, and emphasized, "They signed it voluntarily."

Li, who originally had no intention of leaving anyone behind, sighed, "As expected of Sister Mei."

Hearing Li's praise, Chunmei felt like she was floating, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face. "Miss, what are the follow-up plans for these four people?"

"We still need to keep up the physical training, and hire someone to teach them literacy and arithmetic." Li looked at Chunmei seriously, "I'm short of money."

Chunmei really wanted to pinch Li's cute little face, but she could only suppress the itch in her heart because of the difference in status. "Lifeng and Liyue can already do some simple work. The two brothers have read some books before, so arithmetic is not too difficult for them."

"Learn for a while first. If these two are good, give them to Shi Yaojue." Shi Yaojue is a bit of a spendthrift, but he is quite good at business. Learning by observation is the best way to teach.

"Shi Shi? But the general..." Chunmei was a little worried when she heard this. At this time, the prince and the general were good friends. If Shi Shi knew about it, wouldn't it be the same as the general knowing about it? After all, the princess divorced... ah, it was the princess and the general who divorced. What if the general was still angry and came to trouble the princess?

"He is busy dealing with my royal brother and has no time to care about me. Besides, even if he wants to cause trouble for me, he has to find me first." Li shrugged indifferently. She never thought of avoiding Yu Xun. If she really wanted to hide, Yu Xun would not be able to find her even if he turned the entire Qianwu Dynasty upside down.

But Yu Xun couldn't find her. What if he started with Chunmei again? Thinking of how Chunmei looked in the dungeon that day, Li felt annoyed. "I'm going out with Butler Hua in a while. We'll arrange a place for these four little ones by then. I'll send Sister Mei back to A-Yu."

Chunmei also knew Li's concerns and nodded in agreement. She could calm down and practice well when she returned to the palace. During this period, she practiced for a long time according to the formula taught by the princess, but there was still no change in her body. Although the princess told her not to be impatient, Chunmei still wanted to practice as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Shi Yaojue had just received the letter from Wu Huang, and the so-called "disappeared" person in the letter appeared at his doorstep.

"Sister-in-law...A-Li, you, you, you?" Shi Yaojue looked at Li in front of him in shock, and kept looking at the two people behind her, "You gave birth to a baby? And two in one go?!"

"Where can I give birth to such a big baby?" Li raised his hand and slapped the back of Shi Yaojue's head while he was talking nonsense. "Are you awake?"

"Ahaha, wake up." Shi Yaojue also wanted to slap himself. These two children were obviously the same age as Li, so why did he think of them as illegitimate children? In fact, when getting along with Li, this person was too mature, making people always forget her real age.

Shi Yaojue quickly invited the person into the house, "Didn't Ah Li return to the capital? Why are you in Chaozhou again?"

"Don't say you don't know about what happened between me and your brother Yu Xun." Li glanced at him and reached out to take the tea he handed over.

"Actually, I just found out about it not long ago." Shi Yaojue looked away awkwardly.

Chaozhou is quite far away from the capital, and even sending a message by carrier pigeon would take some time. What's more, Yu Xun would never share these trivial matters with him. If it weren't for Wu Yan's letter, he really would not have known about it.

"Let's not talk about him for now. I asked someone to bring some exotic wine for you to try." Li gave a look to Li Feng behind him, and the latter quickly handed over the wine jug in his hand.

When he heard that it was an exotic wine, Shi Yaojue's eyes brightened. He no longer wondered why Li was here and quickly opened the seal of the wine and took a few sips.

The rich aroma of wine filled the entire room the moment Shi Yaojue opened it. Shi Yaojue couldn't help swallowing a few times, "Strong liquor."

Li: "Why, you don't like it?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Shi Yaojue quickly hugged the wine jug into his arms, fearing that Li would change his mind and snatch it back from him.

"As long as they like it." Li stated his purpose without further delay, "These two people will follow you to learn business in the future. As a salary, I will have someone send a few jars of this strong liquor over every year. What do you think?"

Fortunately, Shi Yaojue was still rational and was not overwhelmed by the aroma of the wine. He looked at the two people curiously, "Who are these two?"

"Nu Lifeng and Liyue, kowtow to the prince." The two of them knelt hurriedly and saluted.
