After Gu Xin recovered from a serious illness, she discovered that her whole family had changed.
Her father, who was a gambling addict and nearly sold his wife and daughter, said he would nev...
Seeking refuge with family.
However, Butler Li told them a reality.
The reality is that the Li family's ancestors had done the Feng family a favor. Even if the Feng family knew about it, they would neither punish him arbitrarily, because he was not a servant of the Feng family, nor would they send him to the yamen, because if this matter became a big deal, it would only affect the Feng family's reputation.
At that time, he might just lose his job with the Feng family. He has saved quite a bit over the years, and at worst, he can take his wife and children back to the countryside to farm. It won't have any impact on him.
But once this matter becomes public, it will have a huge impact on the sisters. It's hard to say whether they will be able to get married. Even worse, according to the Feng family's rules, the two of them may have to spend their lives as Buddhist monks and nuns.
The Feng sisters were intimidated by these words and never said they would tell their family about it again.
Originally, Steward Li could have continued like this, but the two sisters secretly plotted to get rid of him, which was discovered by Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi was someone that Butler Li had personally trained. Butler Li didn't believe it at first, after all, he thought the two sisters were timid.
But when he overheard it with his own ears one time, he was filled with murderous intent.
The sisters' plan was to have another man ruin the reputation of Butler Li's wife, making it public knowledge, so that Butler Li would definitely slink away with his men.
Even if Butler Li's wife were to commit suicide and succeed, and she were to die, it would still be a blow to Butler Li, and he would definitely leave.
Therefore, Steward Li had the idea of getting rid of the two sisters.
He knew that Miss Feng the Third always beat and scolded Que'er, unlike Miss Feng the Fourth who would put on a show for the maids below.
Therefore, Steward Li bribed Que'er with benefits.
Que'er was unwilling at first, so Steward Li deliberately went to find Miss Feng, then forcibly took her without saying a word, and then beat her severely. He knew that Que'er would definitely be beaten badly the next day.
Sure enough, the next day, Miss Feng vented her anger on Que'er.
Because Steward Li beat her so badly this time, Miss Feng thought she was going to die. So, after she recovered, she treated Que'er even more cruelly.
Que'er's wounds were no less than those of Miss Feng. That time, Miss Feng had really gone all out. It wasn't that Que'er thought she was about to die, but that she truly felt that if Ying'er hadn't suddenly come to find her, Que'er would have been beaten to death.
After Que'er recovered from her injury, she went to Steward Li and agreed to his suggestion.
Then Butler Li discussed the plan with Xiao Shunzi, and Xiao Shunzi was chosen to play the role of the man in black.
Xiao Shunzi happens to be the one connected to Qi Moyu. He met Qi Moyu at a banquet. Xiao Shunzi was personally taught by Butler Li, and his physique and martial arts skills were excellent. Qi Moyu took a liking to him at first sight.
Xiao Shunzi also fell in love with Qi Moyu, but Xiao Shunzi knew about Yun Zhu's existence. Xiao Shunzi had also argued with Qi Moyu about Yun Zhu, and Qi Moyu naturally tried to appease him with the same words he used to appease Yun Zhu.
Unlike Yun Zhu, Xiao Shunzi didn't have years of feelings for Qi Moyu, so he saw things more clearly. He knew that Qi Moyu was lying to him, and he hated Qi Moyu because of his love for her. After discussing the plan with Butler Li, he suggested that Qi Moyu be involved so that they could create the illusion that either Qi Moyu or Yun Zhu was the murderer.
After careful discussion, the two finalized their decision.
