Butler Luo finally rushed back after finishing his business in other cities.

After I came back and heard what the servants said, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat. It seemed that something really happened, otherwise Lihua wouldn't have come to me so anxiously. What should I do now?

I didn't expect that woman to be so capable. She guessed something just by seeing me once. As expected of the women in the backyard, none of them are kind. All of them are bad.

"Xiao Lin, arrange for someone to investigate the woman's current position and what she probably knows. I also need to know everything she has done, the people she has arranged to go out, and the people around her."

Xiao Lin: "Master, don't worry, I will arrange this matter right away."

Butler Luo sat on a chair, thinking deeply. He was thinking about what to do next. If nothing was found out, that would be the best. Without evidence, there was nothing he could do. But if it was found out, what should he do? The other party was the county magistrate, and he was just an ordinary man. Besides, Lihua would be imprisoned, or even exiled or put in a pig cage. This matter could not be left unchecked. He could not let this old woman continue to investigate.

It seems that I still need to meet Lihua.

Two days later, Lihua finally met Butler Luo.

Lihua: "You damned devil, where on earth have you been? You've made me worry for so long. What do you think we should do now? The Second Madam has become suspicious and even came to my yard to test my opinion. I don't know what to do."

Housekeeper Luo: "Don't worry, it's useless to worry. It won't solve the problem. Now we should think about how to deal with the matter. It would be fine if there is no evidence. She wouldn't dare to talk nonsense without evidence, for fear that something would be found out. Then the two of us would be miserable, especially our child, who might not be able to be saved."

Lihua said anxiously, "It's all my fault. Why did I meet you at that time? Really, I'm asking for trouble. It's so annoying. Our son is the same. How come your genes are so strong? He looks like you and not like me at all. It's okay now. When he grows up, I'm afraid some people will say that our son really doesn't look like the master, not at all. There were actually some such rumors in the mansion before, but they were all said by the servants and I suppressed them."

"But now, it is the Second Madam who is causing trouble. And this matter is indeed true. It has not yet reached the master. If it does, I am afraid that the master will investigate it more seriously in the future. After all, he is an official, and it is easy for him to investigate if he wants to."

Steward Luo smiled coldly, "It's because your current master is incompetent that you are the only one who gave birth to a boy in all these years. Lihua, have you ever thought that maybe he can't give birth? After all, it's hard to say. What do you think?"

Lihua: "How is this possible? The master has other children."

Housekeeper Luo: "Yes, he has other children, but don't forget that your master only has one or two daughters, but don't forget how many women he has. There are several in the mansion, and it's possible that he has other women outside, or he may have met other women in brothels. He has very few offspring."

Lihua seemed to be thinking about something, and was also thinking about this question in her mind.

Housekeeper Luo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lihua like this. "It seems that I am still capable of making you give birth to a son."

Butler Luo was still thinking that every time he found a woman, he could make them give birth to a baby for him. It would be a pity if he didn't become a county magistrate. It would be great to be rich and powerful. Unfortunately, he didn't have that fate. It looked like his sons didn't have that fate either.

Lihua: "Okay, let's not talk about this issue. Let's put it aside for now. The focus now is on the Second Madam."

Butler Luo: "What else can we do? If she finds out, we can only kill her. If she doesn't find out, that's the best. If there is no evidence, we can just deny it. I'm just afraid that woman will find out something. Also, you should be careful with the people around you. I'm afraid there are spies around you."

"My people found out that the Second Madam knew everything that happened in your courtyard. I don't believe it if there was no spy. Even when we met, the Second Madam might know about it, so you should be brief and try to finish your story. We are both going back to our homes."

Lihua was shocked. There were many elderly people in her yard who she had employed for many years. How could there be a spy? Moreover, she had checked the family background of all of them and found them to be innocent.

Housekeeper Luo understood Lihua's expression. "Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first. I'll take care of this matter. If it's inconvenient for you to do it in the inner house, let me do it. Also, it's best to see each other less often. Meeting once will be riskier. If there's anything in the future, I'll arrange for my servant to find you."
