The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 201 3 Visiting the Thatched Cottage

A sweet voice reached Lord Li's ears, which quickly woke him up. He kicked his subordinate hard.

"It's true that more success than failure leads to failure!"

Lord Li cursed angrily, expressing his dissatisfaction.

If you think she is an ugly woman, can't you just keep it to yourself? Why do you have to speak it out loudly?

With the scars on his face, he must have been subjected to such insults for many years, so he would easily hear a similar sound, even if it was very quiet.

The subordinate was a little confused by Lord Li's sudden anger, but he still lowered his head and looked like he admitted his mistake.

"I'll be talking later, don't interrupt me. Otherwise, I'll deduct your salary when I get back."

Lord Li warned harshly, causing his subordinate to shudder and swallow.

Although he is a subordinate that Lord Li only uses occasionally for investigations, his monthly salary is higher than those subordinates who are used frequently.

Sometimes you can even receive some rewards from Lord Li.

After all, those of them who specialize in investigating and working for government officials always have some risks. If they encounter someone vicious and cruel, they might never come back.

Seeing the scarred woman hurriedly putting the scarf back on her face, she walked slowly towards Lord Li with a bamboo basket in her hand, her eyes alert. It seemed that there was a pair of scissors used in her work in the basket.

"Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I am Li Huaisheng!"

Lord Li's expression immediately became amiable, with a smile on his face.

He seems to have no purpose and is extremely kind.

"I wonder why you two are here?" Mu Wanxi frowned immediately. Her clear and penetrating eyes became more and more bewitching the closer you looked.

It seems to have magic, making people want to keep staring at it.

The subordinate had been staring at her since she put on the veil, completely attracted by her beautiful eyes. However, when he thought of the face with three striking scars, he stopped staring in disappointment, leaving only endless lamentations and regrets.

It would be great if such a beauty was not disfigured.

"I wonder why you two are here?"

Mu Wanxi did not open the door, but stood behind the door in the yard and asked the two of them.

She could only look at the two people's faces and clothes through the crack in the door.

They were not dressed like ordinary people like them, but rather like those of regular merchants or wealthy families. But she didn't understand why such a family would appear outside her house.

It seemed like he knocked on the door several times.

Especially the one next to Li Huaisheng, who was obviously someone's subordinate. His body was always slightly bent and he never straightened up.

She was very familiar with the demeanor of such a familiar servant, which made her treat this subordinate better. But when she thought about it, it seemed like he was the one who called her an ugly woman just now.

Suddenly I felt a chill, and my eyes became more indifferent.

"I'm waiting just to verify one thing."

Lord Li said softly, with a smile still on his face that had not faded at all.

He guessed in his heart that this woman might really be from the same family back then, otherwise how could she have such a conspicuous scar.

In this place where people live and work in peace and contentment, how could such a thing as hurting someone's face happen? Won't the government do anything about it?

The officials here don't seem to be very powerful, maybe they don't dare to intervene?

Upon hearing that the two had come to verify something, Mu Wanxi, who was dressed in almost elegant attire, suddenly had a cold face, with even more hatred on her face.

How could these people be so annoying? She had followed her family so far away, yet they were still found.

Why is God so unfair to her?

She couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred, and even the hem of her dress was lifted up by the power of hatred.

Upon hearing this, Lord Li immediately explained, "We are here to seek justice. This is about a person's life!"

His face was solemn, with a look of calm and confidence, as if he could do anything to achieve this goal.

"Fairness? How ridiculous! Is there still fairness in this world?"

Mu Wanxi sneered a few times, turned around and left as if she didn't care at all. The negative aura in her body swept over like a hurricane, making Lord Li look more solemn.

"It's hard to communicate! The resentment in her heart is too deep."

Lord Li looked at the blue figure going away, which looked somewhat lonely and cold, with a complicated expression. He felt a breath of relief in his heart, which was difficult to relax, and he felt a little sentimental.

"Yes! Is there really justice in this world? Qin Chenyang, who worked diligently for the military and the people of the Northern Dynasty, was framed and imprisoned. He didn't even realize what he had done wrong until he was in prison..."

"In ancient times, there was a man who visited the thatched cottage three times. Today, there is a man who visits the door three times, just for the dying man!"

After thinking for a while, Lord Li suddenly understood something. He looked at the back of the woman in light blue with a burning gaze, as if he had made up his mind.

"Sir! Her attitude is too arrogant. She even refused to open the door."

The subordinate was a little angry and felt indignant for both Lord Li and himself.

"Shut up! What do you know? This is the behavior of someone who has experienced a lot of grief. It means that she has suffered a lot of injustice before. Now the purpose of my coming here is to seek justice."

Lord Li said this in a solemn tone, then turned and left, deciding to come back tomorrow.

Seeing the master suddenly leave, the subordinates were a little confused and followed him immediately.

"Sir! Why did you leave? Is it that family?"

……

The next day, the spring weather was bright and sunny, the sun poured down and gradually brought warmth.

Lord Li, who was walking towards the place where the woman and her family lived, changed his clothes and dressed himself exactly like the local people. Even the hair bands he used were the same, just ordinary strips of cloth.

"Sir, do we really need to dress like this? It seems a little ugly."

The subordinates were extremely dissatisfied when they looked at the clothes they were wearing. It turned out to be linen that was not used in the mansion. The texture was rough, but it was well sewn and there was nothing strange about wearing it.

He just couldn't adapt.

"Stop talking nonsense! Just follow me."

Lord Li glanced at his subordinate coldly. In fact, the clothes were not ugly, it was just that the subordinate wore them ugly.

He was dressed like a scholar who had studied for many years but failed to pass the imperial examination. His features were bright and his appearance had a refined elegance.

This is the aura he has acquired after many years in officialdom, and it is something that his subordinates, who work for others, cannot learn.

Looking at the elegant courtyard door right in front of him, he raised his hand and knocked gently again.

knock --

knock --

I knocked on the door several times, but no one came out to open it.

The more Lord Li looked at it, the more puzzled he found it. Why was this?

There is obviously someone in the yard, why doesn't he come to check on the door?

Is it because no one usually comes here?

Then, he knocked again with a look of disbelief. After all, he had roughly confirmed that this was the family of the woman from that year.

It was the same scene as yesterday. The woman walking from the backyard path was wearing a light red gauze skirt with a pale white petal pattern on it. She still had a white hairpin on her head, walked lightly, and held a basket in her hand.

"Why is it her again?"

The subordinates looked at the visitor with a strange expression.
