As soon as he entered the door, he was called over by Shen Zhaojiang's servant.

It turned out that after Shen Zhaojiang returned home, he heard Zhao exaggerate that Fang Yao refused them to participate in Fang's memorial service. He was furious and had no place to vent his anger, so he took it out on Shen Li for leaving without permission.

The maids wanted to go with Shen Li, but Shen Li didn't need them. She asked them to go back and notify He Gu to prepare dinner. She followed the servant and walked slowly to the study.

Just as she reached the door, a blue-and-white porcelain teacup fell from inside and shattered at her feet.

Shen Li stopped and glanced coldly at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"You evil creature, where have you been?" Shen Zhaojiang said angrily, standing at the door.

Shen Li raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him, and did not answer.

If she dares to come alone, there must be a reason why she comes alone.

I've heard for a long time that the Shen family has two secret guards, said to be gifts from the Prime Minister, but my uncle's secret guards are obviously better.

She was confident and not afraid of Shen Zhaojiang ordering his men to use force, and she knew that the old lady and Zhao were waiting to see how Shen Zhaojiang would deal with her.

Just now, she asked Gu Zi to light a fire in the kitchen. In another quarter of an hour, the fire should be lit.

"Are you talking to me, sir?" Shen Li used her foot to pick up the broken porcelain. "Such fine porcelain, what a waste."

Shen Zhaojiang was so angry that his face turned blue.

No wonder both my mother and Mrs. Zhao said that she was a debt collector. She was as disgusting as her mother. Judging from the way she spoke, she didn't behave like a daughter at all.

"Come here, tie up this disrespectful bastard and give him a good beating according to the family rules. Don't think that just because you have the Emperor's support, no one can stop you. In this family, you won't be allowed to be arrogant."

The servants and guards all knew Shen Li's status in the mansion. No one was surprised by the master's order, and no one hesitated. Immediately, two servants came over and reached out to trap Shen Li.

Gu Lu was ready to take action, but he saw Shen Li move his feet, pick up two pieces of broken porcelain, and turn them casually. The broken porcelain pieces flew towards the servant at lightning speed.

With two swishes, the broken porcelain pierced through his clothes and hit the servant's legs.

The servant screamed twice and fell to the ground. His gray clothes were instantly soaked with blood, which was a shocking red.

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Zhaojiang and the servant didn't see clearly what happened and were stunned by the unexpected situation.

The Shen Mansion's secret guards on the roof thought someone was protecting Shen Li in the dark, and looked around vigilantly.

Only Gu Lu hid in the tree in disbelief and silently retracted the hidden weapon in his hand.

My cousin actually knows martial arts!

Suddenly remembering the antidote Shen Li asked him to deliver to the general, Gulu decided to go to the general's mansion again tonight.

The servant on this side was rolling on the ground holding his legs, while over there, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the direction of the kitchen, and soon flames appeared.

The fire quickly shot up into the sky, and panicked shouts rang out in the yard: "There's a fire! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

Shen Zhaojiang could hardly believe his eyes.

The blazing fire made him feel terrified. He recalled the scene of the master being burned on the woodpile today. It was so shocking that cold sweat broke out from his back for no apparent reason.

Subconsciously, I looked at Shen Li. Shen Li was standing with his hands behind his back, looking coldly towards the kitchen.

It was a face exactly like Fang's, but it had a coldness and determination that Fang had never had.

Just as she was about to have someone beat her, the servant was injured.

Just as we were about to give her a good beating, a fire broke out in the kitchen.

What kind of coincidence is this?

Thinking of what his mother said, he shuddered.

Everyone ran to put out the fire, and the old lady and Zhao's place were in chaos.

No one bothered to tie up Shen Li, and she returned to the corner courtyard on her own.

The fire was finally extinguished and everyone came to Yanshou Hall.

The old lady looked at Shen Zhaojiang in shock and said, "The people in the kitchen have been tied up. We'll have someone investigate how the fire started."

Shen Zhaojiang remained silent.

Zhao covered her heart and looked at him strangely: "What's wrong, Master?"

Shen Zhaojiang sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "Just when I was about to beat that evil creature up, the servant got injured."

"Injured? How could he be injured?" Zhao stood up from the chair in surprise.

She thought that while putting out the fire, Shen Li had been locked up in the ancestral hall.

"I don't know. I got injured for no apparent reason," Shen Zhaojiang's voice was filled with fatigue. "It was around that time that the fire started in the kitchen."

The old lady and Mrs. Zhao were silent, and the strange atmosphere came over them again.

Wan asked timidly, "Aren't there secret guards? Did they ask what's going on?"

"I asked. The secret guards thought someone was protecting him in secret. They checked and found nothing."

"It can't be a coincidence, right?" Zhao was unwilling to believe that Shen Li was really wearing a protective body.

"How can coincidences happen so many times?" The old lady and Mrs. Wan said in unison.

They didn't want to believe it, but things were so strange that they had to think more about it.

Shen Zhaojiang couldn't figure it out either. "She grew up in a farm in the countryside. We sent people to inquire about her before we took her in. They all said she was a little mentally retarded and frail. What kind of abilities could she have? Even if Fang Yao sent people to protect her after she came to Beijing, wouldn't it be those two girls? Besides, our secret guards were watching her from the roof of the study just now. No one helped her, so the two servants were injured and bled a lot. One of them almost fainted. And her maids are all in the corner courtyard, far away from the main kitchen, so they didn't start the fire."

After Shen Zhaojiang finished speaking, Wan, who had always been slow-witted, became even more confused. "So is this a coincidence, or is Fang still here and protecting her?"

Shen Zhaojiang didn't say anything. His mind was in a mess, even after he was frightened by the master's corpse.

"Then, is it possible that the General's Mansion also sent secret guards to her?" Zhao racked her brains, but still refused to accept Wan's statement.

If Fang didn't leave, she would have no way to harm that little bitch.

Shen Zhaojiang slowly raised his head, his chaotic mind full of doubts, "Could it be that there have been secret guards helping her since she first entered the mansion?"

......

General's Mansion.

After listening to what Gu Lu said, Fang Yao was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and remained speechless for a long time.

"You mean, my cousin saved the Queen Mother's sister today?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The old lady was already dead, but my cousin got some strange silver needle from somewhere and inserted it into her, then pressed it for a while and brought her back to life."

"You still say that my cousin knows martial arts? How is that possible?"

"I dare not speak nonsense in front of the general. I saw it with my own eyes." Gu Lu knelt on the ground, almost patting his chest to assure, "Shen Zhaojiang ordered the servant to tie her up. Before I could make a move, I saw the cousin move her feet and pick up two pieces of porcelain to hit the servant. The servant was instantly hit and fell to the ground. The force was so strong that in my opinion, Qiluo and Qili were no match for the cousin."

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Fang Yao still couldn't believe it.

He walked out from behind the table, turned around twice, and muttered to himself.

"General, do you still remember that when your cousin sent someone to deliver the antidote to you, she said that she was the one who caused Yuan Zhilin's pain?"

Fang Yao stopped and stopped talking.

Yes, he was wondering at that time, how could Li'er, a little girl, poison Yuan Zhilin without being discovered?

But what if Li'er really knew martial arts as the secret guard said? What if she had hidden weapons?

Everything makes sense now.

"Tell my cousin to come to the general's residence tomorrow and tell her that the old lady wants to see her."

"Yes, I understand."
