Li Anshu's eyes blurred, and tears welled up.

Li Anqi looked at Juru.

"Ju Ru, lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Carrying a knife, Li Anqi ignored the terrified stares of the servants of the Wu family along the way and arrived at the courtyard where Li Anshu lived.

The doors to the rooms inside the courtyard were tightly shut, and soft, seductive music could be heard coming from within.

Without even thinking, it was clear that Wu Gong and his so-called concubine were engaging in illicit sexual activity in Li Anshu's room.

Li Anqi gripped the knife hilt, lifted her skirt, and prepared to kick down the door.

Shi Ming suddenly stepped in front of Li Anqi: "Your Majesty, please reconsider."

"Step aside!"

"Your Majesty, even if you disregard your own safety, you must consider Madam Wu. Madam Wu is still in the Wu family. If Your Majesty kills Wu Gong, Madam Wu's future will likely be even worse than it is now."

Li Anqi was slightly surprised.

She never expected these words to come out of Shi Ming's mouth.

Li Anqi looked at Shi Ming and seemed to see a bit of Zhilan's shadow in her.

Li Anqi remained silent for a while, then lowered his head in thought.

Shi Ming is right. He can disregard his own consequences, but he has to consider An Shu's situation.

Now that An Shu is the rightful legal wife of the Wu family, she cannot easily sever her ties with the Wu family.

If I kill Wu Gong, the old lady of the Wu family probably won't let An Shu off the hook.

At that time, Anshu will simply have gone from one hell to another, unable to find true liberation.

Li Anqi remained calm and threw the knife into the bushes.

Seeing that Li Anqi seemed to be giving up, Li Anshu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Li Anqi then said to Xiao Shunzi, "Go find some oil and torches!"

Xiao Shunzi responded and ran out of the yard at lightning speed.

Before long, the servants of the Wu family who had heard the commotion gathered outside the courtyard, all looking on with a sense of excitement and eagerness to see what would happen.

Xiao Shunzi squeezed through the crowd and returned to the courtyard with a bucket of oil and a torch.

Xiao Shunzi handed the torch to Li Anqi, and then went around the house, splashing oil on it.

Seeing Li Anqi holding a torch and lighting fires around the house, Li Anshu's panicked heart rose again.

The main house was engulfed in flames, which grew larger and larger, and the smoke became thicker and thicker.

The soft, seductive music in the room suddenly stopped.

Just then, Li Anqi kicked open the door, poured oil on the bed with his left hand, and threw a torch over with his right.

Before Wu Gong and his concubine could react, flames erupted from their naked bodies!

The two screamed in surprise, coughing as they were choked by the black smoke.

"Fire! Someone come quick! Cough cough cough cough!"

"Ahhhh!"

The two, disregarding their nakedness, rushed out of the house and jumped into the water lily tank in the yard in full view of everyone.

Perhaps because the two of them made too much noise, the water lily tank suddenly shattered.

The two were naked and dared not enter the burning house, so they could only hug each other, exposing their bare buttocks.

The servants of the Wu household covered their mouths and chuckled as they carried water to put out the fire.

Wu Gong turned around angrily and shouted, "If you dare to look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Seeing Wu Gong's anger, Li Anshu instinctively trembled and lowered his head.

Li Anqi stepped forward and gently took Li Anshu's hand.

When Old Madam Wu arrived in a hurry and saw the two filthy people, she quickly covered her eyes with her sleeve and told two servants to take off their clothes and put them on Wu Gong and his concubine.

"I am new to the Wu residence, and I never expected that the Wu residence would receive me in this way!" Li Anqi preemptively spoke up.

Madam Wu was momentarily speechless, and bowed softly, saying, "Greetings, Lady Chess."

Madam Wu glanced at Li Anshu and said in a feignedly polite tone, "Your Majesty knows perfectly well why this house is on fire. Why pretend to frighten this old woman?"

"Does anyone know why this house caught fire?!" Li Anqi's voice was strong and slightly intimidating.

The servants of the Wu household paused slightly, stealing glances at Li Anqi's sharp expression, but none dared to respond.

"The Wu family is so rude. If they frighten me, can you bear the consequences?!" Li Anqi looked directly at Madam Wu.

Seeing Li Anqi's solemn expression, Madam Wu felt a slight sense of fear.

"I saw it! You're the one who set the fire!" Wu Gong, who had already changed his clothes, pointed angrily at Li Anqi.

"How dare you! You dare to offend the Chess Queen, you must have a death wish!" Xiao Shunzi shouted as he stepped forward.

Madam Wu's expression suddenly changed, and she rushed forward and slapped Wu Gong twice!

"You unfilial son! Open your dog eyes and see clearly! This is the Lady of the Prince Xiao's Mansion!"

As Madam Wu spoke, her eyes glanced to the side, emphasizing the three words "Prince Xiao's Mansion".

Wu Gong's expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Li Anshu and Li Anqi, biting his cheek reluctantly.

With a smile, Madam Wu turned to Li Anqi and said, "To speak of rudeness, Your Highness did not send a formal invitation beforehand. If you had sent one, how could the Wu family have allowed Your Highness to witness such shameful events and have been so frightened?"

Li Anqi frowned: "Are you saying, Madam, that I was rude?!"

"Hehe, no, no. How could this old woman dare to offend Lady Chess?"

"My sister has suffered endless humiliation in the Wu family! If I were to send her a formal invitation, wouldn't she have to swallow her grievances and live a life without ever seeing the light of day?!"

Although Li Anqi restrained his anger, it still made those who heard it turn pale.

Hearing Li Anqi say this, Wu Gong finally understood Li Anqi's intention in setting fire to cause trouble.

With a ferocious expression, he raised his hand and strode forward to slap Li Anshu.

"You filthy bitch! I knew it was you who caused this mess!"

Li Anshu trembled uncontrollably, his lips turned deathly pale, and he instinctively hid in Li Anqi's arms, not daring to look at anyone.

"stop!"

Li Anqi remained calm under pressure and shouted to stop them.

Her expression was chilling, and her voice was deep yet powerful, like an iron awl piercing to the bone.

"In my opinion, your worthless life is coming to an end!"
