Time flies, and it is early summer before we know it.
It has been nearly five months since Xiao Shaoxing last came, so what Ah Xiu originally said about him coming every three months is not true.
Su Li recalled the conversation between Xiao Shaoxing and Li Yuzhi that she had heard before, in which they said that a lot of things had happened in the capital and that the prince was keeping pestering Prince Ning.
That might be the reason why Xiao Shaoxing did not arrive here on time.
According to the original timeline, the gold mine would be exhausted in less than five months. She couldn't waste any more time and had to find a foolproof way to get down the mountain...
Su Li looked towards Li Yuzhi's residence on the mountain.
In the past six months, Li Yuzhi came to see her from time to time and gave her various things from time to time.
Su Li had experiences in her previous life, so she naturally understood the love between men and women. Although Li Yuzhi did not say it explicitly, she could probably guess, or feel, his feelings for her.
Li Yuzhi is the general manager of the Xishan Mine and his power is no less than Xiao Shaoxing. It would be best if she could use him to take her down the mountain.
However, if she wanted him to take her down the mountain, she had to have a good excuse, and she had to think carefully about this good excuse.
After all, according to her investigation over the past six months, Li Yuzhi had hardly left the mine in these years. It was not easy to find an excuse to ask him to take her down the mountain.
And given his cautious nature, if she wasn't careful, she might arouse his suspicion. She still remembered that he had someone monitoring her for nearly two months.
Su Li walked towards the kitchen while thinking.
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
Got it!
In the afternoon, Su Li chopped firewood all afternoon. After dinner was ready, while Aunt Sang and others were serving food to the slaves, she put down her axe and went to Li Yuzhi's residence.
At this time, Li Yuzhi should be having dinner in his yard.
Um?
As soon as I reached the stable, I caught a glimpse of a luxurious carriage parked inside.
That's Xiao Shaoxing's carriage!
He is coming?
She came here yesterday, but Xiao Shaoxing's carriage was not there, so he just arrived?
Su Li didn't delay any longer and went up the mountain immediately.
She went to Li Yuzhi's yard first, but he was not there.
She went to the courtyard where Xiao Shaoxing lived last time. Of course, that was not Li Yuzhi's courtyard, so she didn't dare to go there.
She hid far away and saw two followers guarding the gate of the yard.
Su Li walked around to the back of the yard and quietly approached it after confirming that there was no one there. Then he climbed up the wall, jumped lightly into the yard, and then stuck close to the base of the wall.
There was no sound, either no one was talking in the room, or this was not the room.
She tiptoed forward the distance of a room, but still there was no sound.
Then he moved forward to the distance of a house, and at this time, he finally heard a sound.
Su Li was pleasantly surprised and looked around before moving closer to the wall to listen carefully.
In the study, Xiao Shaoxing was leaning against the desk. Opposite him was Li Yuzhi, who had an incredible expression on his face.
"Dad, how could you just kill so many innocent people? They knew nothing, they were innocent, and they were waiting to go home and reunite with their families..."
Xiao Shaoxing looked unhappy: "That was Prince Ning's order. From the beginning, Prince Ning had no intention of keeping those people."
"Dad, do we have to kill him? Can we ask Prince Ning for help..."
Xiao Shaoxing scolded: "You are too soft-hearted! Let them go. Do you want to kill Prince Ning and my Qingping Marquis Mansion?"
"father……"
"Yuzhi, you've been smart since you were little. Didn't you already know that these people were destined to die? If not, why would you be so kind to them? Why would you even celebrate the New Year with such grandeur?"
Li Yuzhi was stunned and speechless for a long time.
He did know that from the beginning, every time his father came to the mountains, he had no intention of hiding his identity, from when someone tried to escape and was shot dead by his father's order, from when a slave died in an accident and his father claimed to have sent the ashes back to his hometown, but then had them discarded...
He knew that these people would not be able to leave the Xishan Mine alive.
He knew, so he did his best to be good to them and gave them as much freedom as possible in the mountains...
He knows...
But what else can he do besides doing these?
One is Prince Ning, who is the future support of the Qingping Marquis’ Mansion.
One is his father. He was destined to stand with them since birth...
Xiao Shaoxing patted his shoulder and said, "You have already compensated them, they should be satisfied... Although you are a concubine's son, there is no child in the Qingping Marquis's Mansion who is more promising than you. From now on, the Qingping Marquis's Mansion will be handed over to you. Don't let your father down..."
"I have something to do in the capital, so I'll leave early tomorrow morning. The next time I come back, it will probably be when the gold mine is completed. By then, you should be prepared..."
"Let's go back..."
Li Yuzhi returned to his residence in a daze and sat blankly by the bed for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and ran down the mountain.
At night, as soon as Su Li returned to her residence, A Xiu asked her with concern.
"Sister Mo, where did you go just now?"
She said casually, "I felt sick in my stomach while chopping wood, so I came back to the toilet."
"What's wrong with you? Did you eat something bad?"
Su Li shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, everything is fine now."
"Oh, that's good. You didn't eat dinner, so I brought you some food. Come eat it!"
As soon as Su Li came in, she saw the food on the table and knew that it must have been left for her. She was touched. A Xiu was simple and kind by nature and had always been very good to her.
After leaving, she will definitely come back to save her, and Aunt Sang...
