Mrs. Li invited Qi Qingxi and Gu Yu to a private room upstairs.

"This is a dowry shop given to me by my natal family. The shop is full of my own people, so it's easier to talk."

As soon as Qi Qingxi entered the store, she began to look around, carefully confirming that Mrs. Li had brought no one else besides herself and the two servants.

But now that Gu Liang has returned to Gu Yu's side to work, with Gu Yu's skill as a master and servant, unless she brings a large group of masters, she can't easily deal with them.

Mrs. Li brought tea and snacks and put them in front of Qi Qingxi, but Qi Qingxi was unwilling to waste time with her on these things.

She asked directly: "Do you have the things Madam mentioned in the letter yesterday?"

"Naturally." Mrs. Li took out a booklet from her sleeve and put it on the table.

But she didn't hand over the booklet directly to Qi Qingxi, she stretched out her hand and pressed on the booklet: "I can give these evidences to you two, but I have one request."

Qi Qingxi and Gu Yu looked at each other, and Gu Yu nodded to Qi Qingxi.

Only then did Qi Qingxi speak: "What do you want to say?"

"Everyone in the Li family deserves it, but I dare to guarantee with my life that my children have never done anything harmful to the world, and they know nothing about the things their grandparents did. So I can help you deal with Li. Home, I just want to be able to escape safely with my children. At that time, I will take them out of the capital and find a small village to live a peaceful life."

Qi Qingxi scoffed at Mrs. Li's words.

As a child of the Li family in Ansui, I enjoy the convenience and wealth brought by the Li family's money everywhere in my life. How can I take it all away without doing any bad things? This pair of children of those who have been abused by their Li family How unfair.

Not to mention far away, just talk about the brothers and sisters of the Qi family.

Originally, they could live a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing, but in fact they were so miserable that they were almost sold off, and they were so miserable that they almost starved to death without food.

But Qi Qingxi decided to let them go.

For one thing, she knew how much it would cost a woman in this era to break up with her husband's family.Mrs. Li can make such a big decision to break with her husband's family, she has to show something for this heroic act.

Secondly, if it is true what Mrs. Li said, her children are all ignorant and have never done anything harmful to nature, then she will naturally let them live.

However, it is impossible for her to listen to Mrs. Li's one-sided words. She has to read the evidence in hand and Gu Yu's subsequent investigation.

"I can promise you, if your children are really ignorant, I will let you go."

But even if Qi Qingxi responded like this, Mrs. Li still didn't let go of her hand on the booklet. She looked at Gu Yu: "Where is Mr. Gu? It's not that I don't care about Miss Qi's words, but I didn't expect Mrs. Gu Come back too. I think your family intends to hand over this case to Mr. Gu, so Mr. Gu's guarantee will be more realistic."

Gu Yu and Mrs. Li looked at each other, pointed to the booklet on her hand and said, "I'll read it."

Mrs. Li was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then withdrew her hand that was pressing on the booklet. She glanced at the servant woman beside her, and the servant woman immediately stepped forward to pick up the booklet in her hand and handed it to Qi Qingxi with both hands.

Qi Qingxi directly handed over the brochure to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu gently took the brochure from Qi Qingxi's hand, took it in her hand, flipped through a few pages at random, and then threw the brochure on the table.

Mrs. Li was taken aback by Gu Yu's action. She dared to risk her life to guarantee that everything written in this booklet was true, and it was all the evidence she had worked hard to collect.

She really didn't understand what Gu Yu's action meant.

Gu Yu: "I have seen the sincerity, and I will agree to your request."

Mrs. Li's originally suspended heart slowly let go, and immediately she asked the question in her heart: "I saw Mrs. Gu and just flipped through a few pages at random. I don't know, but what's wrong with my booklet?"

Gu Yu said lightly, "No problem."

He only agreed to her request after turning over two pages and found that there was no problem.It's just that these evidences pale in comparison to the evidence he sent people to investigate.

Compared with the murder, the things in this booklet are not worth mentioning at all.

Gu Yu yelled out the door: "Gu Liang, bring someone in."

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and Gu Liang walked in with a veiled woman.

The woman bowed to everyone.

Gu Yu also didn't want to talk nonsense to that woman, pointing at Mrs. Li and said to her: "This is Mrs. Li who wants to kill her relatives righteously. You just need to tell what happened to you. Mrs. Li is willing to help you if you want to come."

The woman nodded, and slowly reached out to take off the scarf on her face, and the outline of her face slowly appeared in everyone's eyes.

Until the right half of her face was exposed, Qi Qingxi couldn't help but her heart tightened. She knew that this was the mark left by being burned by the fire.

Gu Yu seemed to have expected this situation, and had already grabbed Qi Qingxi's hand and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. The warmth of the palm was continuously transmitted to Qi Qingxi's hand, which made her feel at peace instantly.

Mrs. Li also felt nervous after seeing the woman's appearance, but she had lived for so many years after all, and was used to the dirty things of the Li family, so she expected that what the woman would say next would be the same. It was related to the Li family, and it was even worse than what she had known before.

Even though the two servants who followed her were people she trusted very much, and even if she knew about it, she might not be able to hide it for a few more days, but in order to save the last bit of face for her children, she still pushed them back and let them Stand guard outside the door.

After the two maids exited the room and closed the door, Mrs. Li said to the woman: "If there is anything, just say it."

The woman's face was full of pain since she took off her veil. After hearing Mrs. Li's words, it took a long time to come back to her senses, and slowly opened her mouth to tell the past that had caused her pain for more than ten years.

An Sui's current elder of the Li family, the husband of Mrs. Li in front of them, the second master, Li Qiuyue's own father, together with the deceased old master of the Li family.The three had sex with prostitutes in a rural house in Ansui many years ago, and accidentally strangled one of the women to death.

In order to annihilate the evidence, the three bound the hands and feet of the other prostitutes and sealed the door, and finally threw a fire in front of the door and burned the few inside to death.

However, there was a prostitute who once suffered a loss when she went out to serve customers. Since then, she has been very vigilant. In order to protect herself, she went to a craftsman to make a hairpin with a hidden dagger.

It was precisely because of this vigilance and this hairpin that she was able to save herself successfully.

But the dagger hidden in the hairpin was too small, and she barely cut the rope tied to her body when the fire spread to her side. When she wanted to save others, the fire was too big to do anything, and she didn't even want to run away quickly. Even she herself will be buried in the sea of ​​fire.
