Qingzhu was holding several oil-paper bags in both hands, with residue from the cakes he had just eaten at the corners of his mouth.

When they returned to the Jiang Mansion just now, the two had changed back into women's clothes. Jiang's father and mother were no longer surprised by the fact that Jiang Li and Qingzhu dressed up as men and wandered around outside.

"The General's Mansion."

"Miss, that brothel..."

"Go back in three days to find out."

In addition to finding out what clothes the girls in the brothel wear, Jiang Li also learned a piece of news. The night of three days later is the day when Jinse Tower will re-elect its courtesan, and it will definitely attract the masters and young men from Jiangnan to watch.

Jiang Li believed that the clothes in the dark room would be worn by the girls in the brothel. As long as she could see those clothes in Jinse Tower, it would prove that the upright General Zhengbei in the eyes of the world had private transactions with the brothel.

Although this cannot directly trip up the General's Mansion to avenge the original body, the evidence accumulates little by little, and sooner or later the General's Mansion will capsize in the gutter! Jiang Li heard the voice of a child as soon as she walked near Nanyuan.

"You evil woman, you killed my mother, took my father away, drove my grandmother crazy, and set a poisonous snake on her to death!"

The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Zhiheng.

After hearing Zhou Zhiheng's words, Qingzhu's eyes widened, and he was furious and wanted to catch him on the spot! "Snakes are poisonous and can kill people!"

Another childish voice came from the front, as if trying to stop Zhou Zhiheng's behavior.

"Get out of the way! I'm going to let the venomous snake bite this bad woman to death!"

Zhou Zhiheng pushed the man away and put the poisonous snake in his hand into Nanyuan.

Watching the venomous snake with tongue spitting out venom crawling into Jiang Li's yard, Zhou Zhiheng stood up and clapped his hands, with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, you hear me? If I find out that you told anyone, I will release poisonous snakes into your and your grandfather's rooms next time!"

Zhou Zhiheng warned the little boy who had just stopped him. He looked like a little devil. How could he have the innocence of a five-year-old child? After warning the little boy, Zhou Zhiheng took his short legs and left Nanyuan along the way he came.

The little boy did not follow directly. He clenched his fists, bit his lower lip, stood at the gate of Nanyuan, and looked into the yard again and again.

He originally wanted to remind the people living here that there were poisonous snakes in the yard, but the door of Nanyuan's room was closed and it was obvious that no one was there.

But he was too timid to go in and catch the poisonous snake. The little boy stood outside the door and hesitated for a moment. Then, he suddenly ran to the front yard.

Boom——

The little boy ran so fast with his head down that he didn't notice someone in front of him and bumped into Jiang Li's leg.

When the little boy fell down with his butt sticking up, Jiang Li quickly bent down and grabbed his arm, thus preventing the little boy from having close contact with the ground.

The little boy's black and white eyes met Jiang Li's gaze and he stared at her blankly.

Looking at the little boy in front of her who was staring at her in a daze, Jiang Li curled her lips and squatted in front of him with gentle eyes.

"Whose child are you? Why are you here?"

The little boy looked at her eagerly and asked crisply, "Sister, do you live here?"

Jiang Li nodded and liked the little boy with clear eyes in front of her very much.

"There's a snake in the yard, don't be afraid, sister. I'll call grandpa to catch it!"

Although Zhou Zhiheng warned the little boy not to tell anyone about the poisonous snake before leaving, the kind-hearted boy told Jiang Li about it without hesitation after seeing her.

"Aren't you afraid that Zhou Zhiheng will release snakes into your and your grandfather's room?"

Jiang Li heard the conversation between the two clearly and looked curiously at the little boy in front of her whose height just reached her thigh.

Jiang Li and Qing Zhu were both amused by the little boy's words, and they laughed and the little boy laughed too.

Jiang Li couldn't help but rubbed the little boy's head and said with a smile: "You are so good, I will reward you with some cakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingzhu held the oil-paper bag in his hand and handed it to the little boy: "Pick whatever you want, there are all kinds of flavors."

The little boy was a little reserved, and finally Jiang Li took an oil-paper bag and stuffed it into his hand.

"Take it and eat it. By the way, I'm not afraid of snakes, so you don't need to ask your grandfather to come and catch them."

After sending the little boy away, Jiang Li and Qing Zhu returned to Nanyuan. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw a green snake coiled in the corner, spitting out its tongue and staring at them hungrily.

"Miss, are you going to do it or should I?"

Qingzhu remained calm and said, "Playing with snakes is something they did when they were kids, okay?"

"Let me do it."

Jiang Li rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the green snake coiled in the corner without changing her expression.

The green snake spit out its tongue at Jiang Li with a provocative look on its face. It did not run away even when Jiang Li walked in front of it. The snake's tongue became longer and longer, and it was ready to attack Jiang Li with its fangs at any time.

Jiang Li walked to the front of the green snake, stopped, bent down, accurately pinched the green snake's vital point, and lifted it up from the ground.

Even when she grasped the green snake's lifeline, it didn't react to what was happening, and there was confusion in its little eyes.

Jiang Li snorted and laughed, then carried the green snake towards the room, pulled out its fangs with scissors, and threw it into the small basket that she had previously used to store needles and thread.

The green snake, which had been watching with eager eyes, wilted in an instant, coiled up its body, and shrank in the basket without moving.

"Miss, that kid is really evil. He is so young but he can do such a vicious thing. He dared to release a snake in the yard today and set fire to the yard tomorrow! We can't just let it go like this!"

Qingzhu put the oil paper bag she brought back from Jiang's house on the table and walked towards Jiang Li angrily.

"Don't worry, your lady, am I the kind of person who will swallow my anger? Don't you like playing with snakes? Then find a time to let him play with them to his heart's content."

Jiang Li leaned over and poked the wilted green snake in the frame, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"That's right, he should be taught a lesson! We can't just let it go because he's still a child!"

Qingzhu nodded vigorously in agreement. If he didn't learn his lesson now, who knows where he would go when he grows up! "Okay, let's put this aside for now. Go to the accounting office and get all the account books from the general's mansion. I need to check the accounts."

"Got it, miss. I'll go to the accounting office right away."

At that time, on the other side.

Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue also returned to the general's mansion from the brothel.

At present, the two of them have basically confirmed that the clothes in the dark room are prepared for the girls of Jinse Tower, and they only need to wait for three days to confirm it with their own eyes.

"master……"

"Snake! Help, there's a snake!"

Feng Jue had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Jiang Li's exclamation.

After hearing Jiang Li's voice, Shen Tingsi walked forward quickly. As soon as he reached the gate of Nanyuan, he saw Jiang Li running out of the room.

Jiang Li looked panicked, and rushed straight towards Shen Tingsi, finally hugging his neck and hanging on him...
