"Everyone, this is it for today. Everyone, please go back. Do not act rashly without my order."

After saying this, Madam Li left with Madam Hu, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Madam Li brought Madam Hu to the back corner gate of the Li Mansion and saw a man lying there, obviously exhausted from the journey.

Maybe because he had drunk some water and eaten something, his mental state was much better than when he first arrived.

"Are you the one who reported that Lishui is safe?" Mrs. Li asked directly.

The man wanted to stand up and salute, but he was too weak to stand up. Madam Li waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need to salute.

After being pardoned, the visitor spoke, "I'm Xiao Gouzi, guarding the Li River. According to the plan, the Li River should have flooded three days ago. However, there was no movement on the Li River. I wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but as soon as I approached the Li River, I found that people were guarding the entrance and exit, allowing only entry but not exit. I realized something was wrong, so I hurried back to report."

He spoke haltingly, and it was obvious that his throat was dry from exhaustion.

"Madam! Could it be that the plan was discovered in advance, and someone in Lishui has been arrested?" Madam Hu knew the whole story. She thought quickly and came up with her answer quickly.

Over the years, she has been by the lady's side and has handled many matters, big and small.

She has her own ideas about emergencies.

Mrs. Li was calmer than before.

She pondered for a moment before saying to Madam Hu, "Hurry up and find Shadow. Have them split into three groups. If my prediction is correct, someone is heading this way right now, aiming to capture me."

"Let Yingzi and his men rob and kill anyone coming from Lishui to Yangzhou. It doesn't matter if we don't know who they are. We'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

"I'll do it right away."

Nanny Hu left in a swift and decisive manner.

Mrs. Li stood there thinking for a moment, then straightened her clothes and walked towards the backyard.

When she came to the bedroom, she happened to see Master Li touching the buttocks of a little maid.

He jokingly said this in a light tone.

What? Let me touch it and I’ll buy you flowers.

Seeing his wife come in without knocking, Master Li's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal. "Why is Madam here? Didn't we call people to discuss matters today?"

The little maid who had been taken advantage of saw the real lady coming and quickly retreated with a pale face. She didn't dare to stay even a quarter of an hour.

Madam Li didn't even spare the maid a glance. Instead, she walked over to sit next to Master Li and asked with a hint of annoyance, "Xiang He has only been in the mansion for a little over two months, and now she's already lost her life. I heard from Madam Hu that this month, Xiang He is already the fourth one. Master, shouldn't you be more restrained? That's a human life, not the life of some random person."

Being questioned in person, Master Li's face turned sour. "Princess, I'm just an ordinary person who likes a little bit of romance. When the passion is strong, I can't control myself. In the end, it's because those maids are too young to withstand such romantic affairs. You want to control this too? I have never cared about what you do outside. Hasn't our relationship always been like this? You didn't say it before, so what do you mean now?"

Madam Li frowned, her tone carrying a hint of anger, "Don't call me princess! What kind of princess am I?"
