The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Chapter 45 can only be considered a beast, not a human being.

"Yes."

Qiuyue waved her hand, signaling the maids to begin searching the room.

Aunt Gao's expression was somewhat distorted and ferocious as she shouted loudly.

"I'm a concubine, after all! How dare you search me as you please?! Tomorrow I'll go tell the master and let him see what kind of person this seemingly well-mannered second young lady of the Jingguo Mansion really is!"

"Since I dare to do it, I'm not afraid of the consequences." Li Anqi's eyes showed no fear, and he was full of confidence.

"Miss." Liu Yun, with a solemn expression, handed three witchcraft dolls covered in needles to Li Anqi.

Li Anqi frowned slightly as he looked at the witchcraft dolls.

"Miss, look." Qiu Yue found an empty oil can and handed it to Li Anqi.

Li Anqi put down the witchcraft doll, smelled the empty oil can, and noticed the smell of rapeseed oil inside.

Li Anqi's gaze toward Aunt Gao carried a chill.

Why did you kill Granny Fang?

Aunt Gao stammered, "What makes you say I killed Granny Fang? It was just an empty oil jar, what does that prove?!"

"Did someone instigate you?!"

Li Anqi's words were only slightly harsh, but they frightened Aunt Gao and Liuyun so much that they both trembled.

Aunt Gao looked into Li Anqi's dimly lit eyes, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice, "It's...it's Zhao..."

"Qi'er, what are you doing?"

Li Anqi turned around and saw that Zhilan had already invited Li Miao over.

"Master, master!"

Aunt Gao cried out and knelt down, weeping.

"My lord, you must do me justice!"

Li Miao walked up to Li Anqi, somewhat puzzled.

"This is how the same thing?"

Li Anqi bowed slowly.

"Father, Anqi has found evidence regarding the murder of Granny Fang in the watchman's quarters. The murderer is Aunt Gao."

"She's just a servant, why make such a fuss?" Li Miao seemed a little reluctant to help Aunt Gao, who was crying so pitifully.

Li Anqi's heart sank suddenly.

“Grandma Fang used to be a servant of Consort Xu. Anqi thought that perhaps Grandma Fang knew some secrets about Consort Xu’s death, which is why she was paying special attention to it.”

Upon hearing Li Anqi mention Aunt Xu, a trace of sadness appeared on Li Miao's haggard face.

He sighed, "When Shuyuan was keeping watch for her father back then, she caught a cold and has been ill ever since. Her health has never been good. She already did everything she could to give birth to you and Shu'er. Aren't you overthinking it?"

Li Miao believed that Xu Shuyuan's worsening condition was due to having given birth to two children.

No wonder Li Miao has been so cold to the original owner and Li Anshu since Xu Shuyuan died.

“Alright. Even if Aunt Gao killed Granny Fang, there’s no need to be so harsh. A small punishment will suffice,” Li Miao said.

Li Anqi gripped the handkerchief tightly.

Yes, Granny Fang is the lowest-ranking servant in the mansion, and she's quite old.

In their eyes, it was just like their old cow dying.

Ultimately, they can only be considered beasts, not human beings.

Li Miao suddenly noticed the three witchcraft dolls on the table.

He raised an eyebrow and asked urgently.

"what is this?"

Aunt Gao's crying and shouting suddenly stopped, and her whole body trembled like a leaf.

Li Miao recognized the three witchcraft dolls, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He was filled with anger, his eyes reddened, and he stepped forward and slapped Aunt Gao twice.

"You vicious woman! You actually tried to curse Xiu'er, Qi'er, and Madam to death! Just how cruel and cruel do you have to be to do such a thing?!"

Li Miao threw the witchcraft doll at Aunt Gao's face.

"Master, spare me! Master, spare me!" Aunt Gao cried and begged for mercy, her hair disheveled, her arrogant demeanor completely gone.

“And An Cai, Father,” Li Anqi said.

"What happened to An Cai?!" Li Miao asked.

“An Cai was used by Aunt Gao as a tool to ask my father for a reward. He was abused by Aunt Gao for many years. Except for his face, there was no good part of his body. An Qi has already sent An Cai to Aunt Xia’s place. It’s good that Aunt Xia can apply some medicine to An Cai.”

"what?!"

Li Miao looked incredulous, and his anger flared even more. He grabbed the teapot and smashed it to pieces in front of Aunt Gao.

"what!"

Aunt Gao was so startled that she leaned back.

He then immediately knelt down and took a few steps forward, letting his knees be cut by the shards of porcelain.

Aunt Gao hugged Li Miao's leg, her cries heart-wrenching.

"My lord! I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again! My lord!"

Li Miao was already furious, and kicked Aunt Gao away. His hand trembled slightly as he pointed at Aunt Gao.

"Even tigers don't eat their cubs! You have a handsome appearance, but your heart is like a snake or a scorpion. How could you be so cruel to your own son?!"

Aunt Gao sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, clutching her bleeding knee, her makeup ruined by crying.

Li Miao pointed at the witchcraft dolls: "Take these and burn them!"

Liu Yun immediately took the witchcraft doll away.

Li Miao looked at Aunt Gao with great distress.

"Guards! From now on, without my order, this wretched woman is not to leave this room!"

"Yes."

"No, no! My Cai'er, my Cai'er is still outside!"

As Aunt Gao spoke, she stood up, supporting herself on the stool, and came toward Li Miao, but was pushed back by the two old women and fell onto the porcelain shards.

"Ah!" Seeing the blood spurting from her palm, Aunt Gao let out another sharp scream.

Li Anqi stared intently, his brows furrowed.

Seeing Aunt Gao's fate, he thought to himself that he had avenged Granny Fang.

"Bitch!"

Li Miao flung her sleeves, angrily cursed Aunt Gao, and strode out the door.

Li Anqi followed behind Li Miao.

"Father, please calm down. Cai'er is in Aunt Xia's courtyard. Would you like to go and see her?"

Li Miao glanced at Li Anqi, then said with a stern face, "Let's go!"

In Aunt Xia's room.

Aunt Xia was carefully applying medicine to Li Ancai, while Li Anhua was amusing Li Ancai by playing with a rabbit figurine.

Ang Lee was amused by Ang Lee's painting and chuckled.

The tear stains on his face were still wet, and it was clear that he had just been crying.

Seeing this scene seemed to bring Li Miao considerable comfort.

But when he saw the bruises on Li Ancai's body, his face turned even paler.

"Father!" Li Ancai saw Li Miao and quickly got out of bed. "Greetings to Father."

Aunt Xia and Li Anhua also bowed.

"Father."

"master."

Seeing Li Ancai so obedient and well-behaved, Li Miao smiled.

He stepped forward, picked up the little boy, and lifted him high.

"Hahahaha~" Li Ancai endured the pain and laughed with a strange expression.

Li Miao realized that something was wrong with Li Ancai, and remembering the injuries on Li Ancai's body, she immediately put him down and gently pinched his little face.

“Cai’er, my dear, Aunt Gao is going on a long trip soon, and her courtyard is in need of repairs. Why don’t you stay with Aunt Xia for a few days?” Li Miao said.

When Li Anqi saw Li Ancai looking at him, he smiled and nodded.

Li Ancai looked at Li Miao and nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Li Miao said to Aunt Xia, "Although Hua'er doesn't have any particular strengths, she lives the most comfortable life, all because you take such good care of her."

Aunt Xia quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will treat Cai'er the same way I treated Hua'er, and I will take good care of him."

Li Miao said softly, "Then I'll leave Cai'er to you. I'll come to visit you often in the future. If you need anything or need anything, just let me know."

Aunt Xia smiled and said, "That's enough. Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Li Miao nodded, picked up the Rabbit God and started playing with Li Anhua and Li Ancai.

Aunt Xia looked up at Li Anqi with a kind expression and a hint of gratitude.

Li Anqi nodded slightly to her.

A month has passed since I went to Shanji Cloth Shop.

During this period, Li Anqi drew several more design drawings for Shan Xingwen.

It covers dozens of different types of flowers, with different colors and designs.

In addition to flowers, Li Anqi also designed some unique patterns for hairpins and hair ornaments.

For example, she used gold to make different styles of flower calyxes to enclose gemstones or pearls as flower stamens.

Then use gemstones and pearls to make tassels and add them to the hairpin.

Luxurious and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful.

Shan Ji Silver Shop in Beijing officially launched its velvet flower hairpins.

In just three days, it became a sensation throughout the capital.

After returning home from court, Li Anxiu went straight to Li Anqi's courtyard.

"Second sister, look what I brought you."
