Chapter 1 The Mistress of the Marquis's Mansion

"Madam, Old Madam, the Marquis has gone missing after being caught in a flash flood on his way back to the capital..."

Luo Xi: !!!

A flash flood? Chen Li is probably in grave danger.

Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't bear it, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Luo Xi had someone help the old lady to lie down on the couch and also had someone fetch a doctor.

She then sent people to find Shen Li, demanding to see him alive or dead.

Two months later, neither the people sent by the imperial court nor those sent by Luo Xi could find Shen Li, and they all assumed he was dead.

The old lady only had one son, Shen Li. Her health was not good to begin with, and now that Shen Li was gone, her health deteriorated day by day.

Luo Xi tried to persuade her, but the old lady couldn't think straight, and there was nothing she could do...

Three months later, the old lady, overthinking, couldn't take it anymore and died...

Six months later, Luo Xi visited her maternal grandfather's home in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan...

That day, Luo Xi went out into the street with two maids who knew martial arts.

As Luo Xi passed through a small alley, she spotted someone with sharp eyes—a very familiar man, her husband, Chen Li…

He was dressed in coarse black clothes, and his shoes were covered in mud. He also had a large basket on his back, which contained a large piece of wild boar meat, probably to be sold.

He was accompanied by a pretty girl.

At that moment, he held the girl's hand tightly, his face beaming with happiness...

Luo Xi: !!!

He's not dead.

If Shen Li is not dead, why doesn't he go back?

Could it be because of that girl?

Impossible. Shen Li is ambitious; he would never give up everything for a woman.

Luo Xi thought for a moment, then took a step and walked towards Chen Li.

A short while later, Luo Xi walked up to Shen Li. She didn't say anything, but just stared into his eyes.

Su Wan'er: !!!

Who is she? Does she know Brother Li San?

For some reason, she felt a little worried, and she gripped Chen Li's hand tightly.

Shen Li lost his memory, and Su Wan'er rescued him and named him Li San.

When Shen Li saw Luo Xi standing in front of him, his eyes showed amazement, doubt, but even more so, anticipation. "Miss, do I know you?"

He has amnesia and doesn't know his own name.

He desperately wanted to know who he was and whether he had any relatives left.

Luo Xi: !!!

Don't you know her?

Amnesia? That would be perfect.

Now, she is the only mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

Shen Li was on his way back to the capital after an accident while investigating matters in the north for the Emperor. Out of remorse, the Emperor offered her substantial compensation...

If Shen Li were to return, he would become the most powerful man in the Marquis's mansion, and he would certainly bring back the girl beside him.

The number of masters in the Marquis's mansion increased from one to three. Most importantly, she had to listen to Shen Li's words, which was frustrating to think about.

Since Shen Li wasn't dead, she decided to let him truly die, lest he regain his memories and bring people back to disturb her peace...

Luo Xi shook her head. "I don't know him."

Shen Li: "........."

He was extremely disappointed.

He still thought she knew him and was his relative.

Luo Xi's gaze fell on the wild boar meat he was carrying on his back. "Is this meat going to be sold?"

Chen Li: "Yes."

He looked at Luo Xi, whose clothes clearly indicated she wasn't an ordinary person, and asked, "Do you want it?"

Luo Xi thought of something, her eyes flashing slightly, "Yes, I'll take them all."
