After a while, the door light of the villa was turned on, and a fat man walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

Ai Shutong replied: "Hello, I'm Ai Shutong. Mr. Li Maili asked me to come here to find Li Zhong."

The fat man is Li Zhong whom Ai Shutong is looking for.

He suddenly received a telegram from his master a few days ago. He was very nervous at the time, thinking that something big had happened in Beijing.

You have to know that he usually communicates with his master by letters, and only sends telegrams for urgent matters.

When he opened it, he found that it was Miss Ai, whom the master had previously told him about, who was wanted.

It’s a wanted order issued by the Presidential Palace!

Miss Ai has become a wanted criminal? !

Li Zhong almost had a heart attack.

He quickly telegraphed his master back, asking whether he still wanted to take Miss Ai in, after all, she was now a wanted criminal.

The telegram from Beijing came back quickly, but what was unexpected was that the master not only had to harbor a wanted criminal, but also had to take good care of her himself.

Take good care of this, Li Zhongshi is not sure.

He was smart enough to send a telegram to his father, Li Da Zongguan.

Chief Steward Li also quickly sent him a telegram with five words in total: Treat Ai as you would treat your master.

Although he was very confused, he would definitely obey unconditionally what his master and father told him to do.

So he and his wife had not been able to eat or sleep well in the past two days. They were looking forward to Miss Ai coming soon, but they also thought it would be better if she didn't come...

Anyway, I feel very confused and annoyed.

Li Zhong was surprised to see such a beautiful and slender wanted criminal.

Ai Shutong knocked on the iron railing with her hand, "Hello, sir, are you listening to me?"

As Li Maili's spokesperson in Shanghai, Li Zhong was well-informed and quickly realized, "It's Miss Ai. I'm Li Zhong. Please come in."

Ai Shutong smiled and nodded, and said crisply, "Excuse me!"

She looked at Li Zhong. He looked to be about 35 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, a little fat and a little dark, giving people a very simple feeling.

Li Zhong led Ai Shutong in and said, "More than a month ago, your girl Xia Yu came here. I arranged her on the first floor."

As soon as you enter the door, there is a large foyer with a door on each side and an upward staircase in the northwest corner.

Li Zhong: "Miss, do you want to go see Xia Yu, or come to my place?"

Ai Shutong: "Let me check on Xia Yu first. Which room is she in?"

Li Zhong knocked on the west door. "She lives on the west side, and across the street is where I live."

Xia Yu opened the door and saw Uncle Li and the young lady together. She shouted happily, "Ah——"

"Miss, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long that my hair is turning white."

Li Zhong quickly reminded her, "Xiaoyu, keep your voice down. If you disturb the tenants, they will come to complain to me."

Xia Yu quickly covered her mouth, and Ai Shutong pointed at her with her hand, feeling both happy and helpless.

Then he turned around and bowed to Li Zhong: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Zhong quickly stepped aside and said repeatedly, "No, no."

As he was speaking, the door on the east side opened with a click.

A middle-aged woman wearing a maroon cloth jacket and a bun walked out.

The three of them looked over at the same time. The woman was stunned for a moment, then she moved her feet awkwardly, "Boss, who is this?"

Li Zhong quickly introduced: "Chanjuan, this is Miss Ai who the master asked us to take good care of."

"Miss Ai, this is my wife."

Judging from her facial features, this beautiful lady is much older than Li Zhong, at least five years older.

Judging from the way they dress, it is an old-fashioned style.

Ai Shutong guessed that she usually behaved in an old-fashioned way.

This made Ai Shutong's scalp tingle for a moment, but it soon disappeared.

She thought that she should take Xia Yu away from here as soon as possible and live in her own house in Nanshi.

She had figured it out, so she no longer hesitated and stretched out her right hand, "Hello, Mrs. Li."

Chanjuan obviously had never been treated to such courtesy. She looked at Ai Shutong awkwardly and said, "Miss Ai, I'm not a lady. I'm just a servant of the Li family."

Asking when you don't understand is one of Ai Shutong's strengths. "Then what should I call you?"

Chanjuan: "Just call me Aunt Li. That's what the tenants all call me."

Ai Shutong nodded to indicate that she understood.

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Li Zhong immediately said, "Miss Ai, come sit with us! I'll show you the telegram that the master sent."

Ai Shutong: “Oh?”

She was actually a little curious about what kind of telegram Li Maili would send.

There is a large living room as soon as you enter the door. Ai Shutong took a look around and found that there is not only a kitchen and three bedrooms, but also a bathroom!

She suddenly became excited about her own house. She had been using toilets and latrines for two years.

Li Zhong handed the note with the master's telegram to Ai Shutong.

When Ai Shutong saw this, she was like, oh my god! The Presidential Office has issued a wanted order for me?!

Can’t Liu Shunyu be a generous man?

Why did I run away? Isn't it because I didn't fancy you? You just need to know it yourself. Do you need to announce it to the world?

Don’t you have any dignity?!

"Mr. Li, I will take Xia Yu away tomorrow."

Li Zhong shook his head: "Miss, just call me Li Zhong."

"Besides, you can't leave."

"The master has instructed me to take good care of you. In order to prevent others from recognizing you, it is better for you to change your name temporarily."

Ai Shutong was also afraid of being reported. You know, if you catch a wanted criminal, you can go to the Public Security Bureau to collect the reward...

"Okay, then I'll call you Ai Qiuying!"

She simply used the name of her classmate Zheng Qiuying.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhong shook his head again, "There are six tenants upstairs. Tomorrow they will find out that you are one more person. Then I will have to find a way to explain your origins."

"Why not just call me Li Qiuying, and I'll say you're my master's niece."

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Uncle Li and Aunt Li."

Of course she couldn't be impolite in calling Li Zhong by his name. After all, he was more than a body size bigger than hers. In this era, he could be her father.

Just as she thought of this, she looked up and saw a girl in a lake green embroidered gown with a slanting collar, looking at her with envy.

Li Zhong followed her gaze and also spotted the girl.

"Chun Rong, come and meet the young lady!"

Li Chunrong slowly walked over, and Ai Shutong couldn't help but look at her feet. Damn! Three-inch golden lotus!

She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Li Ma's feet.

Fortunately, Li Ma's feet are normal.

Ai Shutong of this era was a Manchu from the Bordered Yellow Banner, and the Manchus did not have the custom of foot binding.

So before, whether in Qianduju or in Jin Mansion, she had never seen anyone with bound feet.

This was the first time she saw the legendary bound feet after she came here.

Ai Shutong made too much noise.

The other four people in the room had eyes, so they naturally saw her staring at the feet of Li's mother and daughter.
