"Have you ever thought about telling the emperor about this through your uncle?"
Shanshui thought for a moment and asked.
Master Li nodded, then shook his head, saying, "Back then, the affair between Lord Anyuan and Concubine Fang was orchestrated by me. Concubine Fang was the daughter of a convicted official in Taizhou. When I bought her, she was being sold into a brothel. Later, I found an opportunity to bring her into contact with Lord Anyuan, and she entered his mansion, where she became very popular with him."
"I've tried to do this over the past ten years, but unfortunately, Earl Anyuan didn't recognize me. We knew each other when Earl Anyuan was in Jiangnan. He never doubted that evil woman; he thought she was me. I can only say that evil woman disguised herself too well."
"Oh! We sisters have completely different personalities. That evil woman was able to disguise herself for over twenty years, which is quite remarkable!"
"Do you have any evidence that can convince uncle that you are the woman from Jiangnan?"
Shanshui thought for a moment and asked.
"I was stupid! After she brought me back to the capital, I told her everything. And I thought she was staying at the Duke's Mansion just to flatter the Duke's wife, so I told her everything, just like when we were little. She knew all my secrets."
After Master Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
She has been regretting this over the years.
"So what are your plans next?"
After a moment of silence, Shanshui asked again.
"Child, now that you know about this, you must be extra careful from now on. I've sent people to watch your brother. If there's any unusual change, they'll notify me, and I'll notify you then. Don't have any contact with the Ming family father and daughter. The time A-Yue got into trouble, it must have been that thief woman who wanted to take you away. Just in case. From now on, stay in Taoyuan County and don't go out. At the moment, they only let the Ming family father and daughter guard you."
"The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's maiden name is Lu. The Ming family has been slaves of the Lu family for generations. They are unfathomable. Mingzhu has promised me that she will not attack you and will try to delay the situation for as long as possible."
Master Li said.
"You instigated Mingzhu's rebellion?"
Shanshui asked.
"This girl fell in love with Cheng Jinyan! The kindness of the Cheng family made her change. She didn't know my identity, she thought I was a member of the Dragon Shadow Guard. The Dragon Shadow Guard is the emperor's personal guard, and only the emperor can control this world. She wants to surrender to the emperor and doesn't want to work for the Lu family. She sees no hope. However, there's no telling when she might change her mind. So, after you go back, don't contact her!"
Master Li shook his head and said.
"Besides this, what do you want me to do? How can I help you?"
Shanshui nodded and asked again.
Master Li smiled and shook his head, saying, "Take good care of yourself and A-Yue. When you return, don't tell A-Yue about such complicated matters. She's very simple-minded, and I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it right away, or might be frightened. That wouldn't be good for her or the baby in her belly. I'll come to see you after the baby is born."
"As for the other matters, that's the grudge between me and them, I can handle it myself!"
"My child, I've made sure you're safe now. I'm going to rescue your brother now. All you can do is protect yourself. Don't let me rescue your brother and then capture you again. Promise me, okay?"
