Knowing that Qian Li wanted to change the topic, Uncle Li smiled slightly, then retracted her gaze. "Who doesn't have seven emotions and six desires?

Qian Li pursed her lips, not wanting to mention anything about yesterday's matter.

"I presume that you have already settled the matters of the Ministry Councillor Yang's family?"

"After you left, we found traces of poison in the aunt's and housekeeper's room, as well as evidence of their intimate relationship. Not only did we find out that the son of Ministry Councillor Yang, Yang Yu, died in the hands of these two, and transferred some of his hidden property to them as well. Most importantly, we also found some evidence that these two people were suspected of harming the old lady."

Qian Li pursed her lips, she did not know how to express her opinion on this matter, "Old madam? That day, from the tone of the Ministry Councillor Yang, this aunt should have only taken in a concubine after the Old Mistress died.

Everything else was just as he had expected, but at this moment, this was the only thing that shocked Qian Li.

"It is said that the first aunt was a personal servant of the madame. After the madame died, she took care of Eldest Young Master, day and night. This caused Ministry Councillor Yang to have the heart of a shadow. "Originally, I thought that it would be a great thing, but instead, I caused the death of my only son …"

Qian Li nodded, "It is indeed rather unexpected."

"Yes, but even though Ministry Councillor Yang is extremely confused about these things, I still have to thank Miss Qian Li again. He said, previously, I made you suffer so much, and now, this lady has helped him resolve such a huge problem. If Miss does not accept the compensation, then in the future, as long as Lady Qian Li has any use for him, feel free to tell me …"

Qian Li squinted her eyes, and tried to test the waters.

[I didn't do it for the reward. Even if I did, I wouldn't dare to accept it now that the steward said it.]

"I just don't want myself to be held responsible for a crime throughout my entire life. It's not because of him, so Qian Li can't accept his gratitude."

Then, without waiting for the butler's opinion, Qian Li took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Li came so early, is there anything you need?"

She knew that even though Gong Ming had left like that last night and told her name that he had already left her with an idea, as long as the result was what she wanted, it would all be worth it.

However, following behind that person, she had to be prepared to go to hell from the very beginning.

"I do not have any instructions, although the promised time is a little earlier, but, if we were to say that Miss Qian Li is fine, then we need to go back."

Qian Li nodded, "Alright, we can set off at any time."

"Don't you need to prepare?"

Qian Li smirked, sshe remembered that in her previous life, he was a woman who did not smile at all. She did not know since when she had suddenly fallen in love with such an action, and furthermore, she was never tired of it.

"Qian Li was originally alone, even if she were to suddenly die, no one would know, what does she need to prepare?"

"That's not necessary, at least we are family now. If Miss Qian Li was really that unfortunate, there would be people who would collect the corpses."

Hearing that, Qian Li gave a faint smile, but his smile contained a taunt.

"Then Qian Li will thank Uncle Li in advance. If there really comes a day like this, I really will have to trouble you in the future."

He said, "I remember that I told you before, you can call me Uncle Li. When there is no one outside or when you are not, you can call me Butler instead."

Qian Li squinted her eyes, as expected, this man was the butler of the Duke Palace.

With so many characters to play, it would be difficult for him.

Qian Li did not say anything, but immediately stood up and turned, walking out. But halfway through, she suddenly stopped, and said: "Butler, are you not blindfolded?"

"I thought you could find it."

This time, Qian Li was truly a little angry, and her expression naturally didn't get any better, "I am very grateful to Uncle Li and Prince for giving me a chance to live, but Qian Li really doesn't understand why you two are still trying to probe me in every way possible, since you have already investigated everything that I've experienced since I was young."

"You said that you would give me a chance to choose, but you clearly didn't give me any path of retreat? Seeing that I have chosen to stay as you wish, and that you all suspect that I have ulterior motives, you all went in blindfolded and came out blind. And now, you all actually think that I can go back on my own? "

Qian Li smirked, and then laughed in an extremely mocking manner, "Qian Li thought herself to be a little bit of a three-legged cat, but I never knew that she was strong enough to be able to find her way with her eyes closed. Butler, I just want to ask you all, this endless and extremely repulsive test, when will it end?"

The butler was startled. He did not expect that Qian Li, who was usually a lonesome and quiet person, would actually tell him about this kind of thing so openly.

It wasn't that she hadn't expected that she had already guessed all of this would be a test. She only thought that with her character, even if she had guessed, she would pretend that she didn't know.

Thus, when she spoke so straightforwardly, the butler's old face instantly turned red.

He touched his head, still feeling extremely awkward.

However, she had a grudge towards Qian Li. This girl was smart, but … How should I put it, it's just too... This is too direct, exposing the thoughts of an old man, it really is … Too cute.

"You know everything …"

"What you guys did wasn't all that obvious, wasn't it just to let me find out?"

Where would anyone let an outsider know his secret when they were unwilling to leave her behind? It was a base, identity, and name. Wasn't this telling her that she wouldn't be able to get off the ship now?

If that's the case, then why pretend to let her choose such a choice?

Although he really wanted to find a suitable backer to store his energy, he still had to give her a choice.

It was obvious that these people had no intention of letting her leave from the very beginning.

Wrong...

Thinking about that, Qian Li suddenly squinted her eyes, she looked at the butler and said, "I got it, although you guys gave me the chance to choose, but you guys also said something that I misunderstood, and in fact..."

The butler smiled. "Actually what?"

Qian Li rubbed her chin. What did the butler say before?

They were already a family, so if there really was something wrong with her or if she was dead, he would help her collect the corpse …

So that's what it really meant.

She had been too careless just now, and she couldn't react in time.

Thinking of this, the ridicule on the corner of his mouth gradually turned into a bitter smile. "Actually, if I really choose to leave, you won't let me leave this place alive, right?"

The butler raised his eyebrows. He did not deny or admit it, but with just a glance, Qian Li knew that her answer was correct.

So it was really like that. There really was no such thing as a free show in this world. The more secrets one knew, the greater the price one had to pay.

She was wondering how someone like Gong Ming could give her the right to choose and tell her the name. In this way, even last night when he made a move on her was a test.

His smile became more bitter. Sure enough, walking in the martial arts world, there was no such thing as not being killed. These people had planned everything long ago, just waiting for him to jump down.

The routine was too deep, and it had only just begun, but Qian Li already had a difficult feeling.

"Why are you doing this? I never thought I could walk out of the prison alive from the beginning. Since you gave me hope, why are you giving me so much despair?" "I always thought that meeting all of you would be my good fortune, but now it seems that I just want to overdo it."
