"If it hadn't been dug up by a few playful kids, who knows how long it would have taken for it to be discovered!"

"Murderer! These rich and powerful people are selfish and self-serving. They must have been killed because the painter discovered some secret of theirs!"

"murderer!"

As the child spoke, he led his friends to throw stones at them, and when they ran out of stones, they threw mud.

Li Mofu was too late to react, and the hood was still put on him by Guozi.

"What are you talking about!" Mo Yi walked towards the children with a ferocious look, and the children scattered.

By the time Li Mofu reacted, the pedestrians on the street were pointing and talking at him, and they were standing in the middle of the road as if they were some criminals.

"Young Master..." This was the first time Guozi encountered such a thing. He frowned and looked a little panicked.

Mo Yi chased the kids for a few steps, but finally gave up. He had to quickly persuade Li Mofu to go back to the yard first.

Unexpectedly, Li Mofu suddenly let out a strange cry, then pointed at the crowd and shouted, "Damn it! These kids from South Village are really bullying me because I'm old and weak!"

"You useless adults who can't even discipline children, who only know how to eat, drink, poop and urinate, don't let me know whose child is talking nonsense, or I'll spank him until his butt is bruised!!!"

The little brat who was eavesdropping behind the crowd ran away, while Li Mofu was still roaring in the middle of the road, "Damn it! I'm so pissed off!!"

The people around him probably thought that Li Mofu was too violent, so some of them dispersed, but many of them were still teasing him.

"Sir, let's go and go back first." Guozi pulled Li Mofu and persuaded him in a low voice.

Li Mofu cursed and complained as he followed Guozi back to the yard.

As soon as Li Mofu and Guozi closed the door after returning home, he immediately frowned and asked Mo Yi, "What did that little brat just say? Is it true?"

Mo Yi just pointed to the hall, indicating that it was not safe in front of the door. He was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he went back to the hall to talk.

Li Mofu hurriedly led his people to the hall, and happened to meet Nanny Liang who came out in a panic.

Nanny Liang's face was tense. Seeing Li Mofu and the other two, she quickly called out in a low voice, "Master, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong?" Li Mofu frowned.

Nanny Liang ran over and pulled Li Mofu back to the hall. Li Mofu was completely confused.

After Li Mofu sat down, Nanny Liang began to speak, "Sir, as soon as you left, the young master sent Mo Zhu back to the courtyard to tell you not to go out. He said there were a lot of hostile rumors out there, and he was afraid that someone behind these rumors might implicate you. I hurriedly sent Mo Zhu back to look for you. Luckily, you're all right. By the way, why wasn't Mo Zhu with you?"

"...Because we came back on our own," Li Mofu frowned and looked at Mo Yi, "Do you want to go see Mo Zhu?"

Mo Yi shook his head, "It's okay. There was such a commotion on the street just now, and Mo Zhu knew he was back once he asked around."

Li Mofu nodded in response, then asked, "What on earth was that kid on the street talking about just now?"

Nanny Liang looked at Li Mofu and then at Guozi, "Did you encounter anything on the street?"

"Don't worry, Ma'am. A group of kids just threw stones at him on the street. He wasn't hurt," said Guozi.

So everyone looked at Mo Yi, as if waiting for Mo Yi to explain what was going on.

Mo Yi was helpless, frowning and briefly explaining, "Didn't they find a misplaced face painted on the beam of the pavilion in the backyard a few days ago?"

"You found the painter and killed him?" Li Mofu thought about what the group of children said and imagined it in his mind.

Mo Yi pursed his lips. He hadn't even finished what he was saying!

"Of course not," Mo Yi waved his hand in denial. "I had just found a clue about that person and reported it to the young master. Just as I was about to go look for him, someone came to report that a body had been found by Reed Lake."

"The body was identified as that of the painter. He had sneaked in among the carpenters we hired to renovate the yard. Mr. Li and the young master hadn't arrived yet, so we didn't pay much attention to him."
