This matter was too serious, and was not something that a maid like her could decide, much less something that she could interfere in.

"Butler Tong …" Is the old master inside? " Cui'er anxiously asked him.

"Master is inside! Is there something Miss Cui Er needs? " Butler Tong looked at her with a troubled expression. Everyone knew that not everyone could casually enter the mansion's old master's study, not to mention a young maid like her!

"I'll have to trouble Butler Tong to help me pass the message. This servant really has urgent matters to discuss with Master." Cui Er said with a hint of tears in her voice. When Butler Tong saw how pitiful she looked, he furiously nodded his head and said, "Then wait here for a while. I will go in and see if old master sees you."

"Thank you, Butler Tong. Thank you, Butler Tong." When Cui Er heard that he was going to help her look, she was overjoyed. If this matter was done well, perhaps she wouldn't have to lose her life. She even became even more respectful towards Butler Tong.

"Master... The second lady's personal maid, Cui Er, was outside seeking an audience. She said that she had urgent matters to attend to with the old master. After Butler Tong entered the study, he respectfully said, without a trace of arrogance in his expression.

Butler Tong had followed Li Xiangnan for more than ten years, and Li Xiangnan had treated him extremely well. Some of the people in the mansion didn't dare to offend him, so even the few ladies respectfully called him housekeeper.

"Did she say anything?" Li Xiangnan raised his head from his book and glanced at Butler Tong as he casually asked.

Butler Tong shook his head and said, "I didn't say, Cui Er said that she wanted to speak to you personally after seeing Master."

"Then let her in!" Li Xiang Nan thought about it for a moment before deciding to put down what he was doing and sit up straight as he spoke.

"Yes." Butler Tong naturally retreated after receiving the order. After exiting the door, he said to Cui Er: "Go in! The old master is waiting inside! " Hearing this, Cui'er felt a tinge of joy, and she smiled as she thanked him before entering the study.

The interior of the study was extremely simple, but it was also surrounded by books similar to those ordinary people's study. The table was placed in the middle, and Li Xiangnan sat on the chair with his hands on the table. There were still some papers on the table that he had not tidied up yet; it could be seen that they had been written by Li Xiangnan.

"This servant greets the old master." Cui Er apologetically bowed. From the moment she entered the door, her eyes had been on her feet and she didn't dare to look around.

She understood the rules of a large family, so she naturally wouldn't do anything that would arouse their displeasure.

"The butler said that you have something to talk to me about. What is it?" Li Xiangnan only glanced at her before inquiring.

Under his gaze, Cui Er's forehead broke out into a cold sweat as she said fearfully, "The second lady has disappeared. When I woke up, I had discovered that the second lady was no longer in the room. Furthermore, some of her jewelry and clothes were gone, and so was Doctor Yu."

When Li Xiangnan heard about Doctor Yu's last words, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Cui Er, as if he wanted to see through her. Cui Er was a bit scared, and her face was a bit pale, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Originally, he had planned to have Li Manting write it down in the name of the Wang family and then directly marry her to the Grand General of the Hussars. But now, she had run away with a small doctor, how could he not be angry.

"Go find it for me, find it properly for me." After Li Xiang Nan spat out these words, he sat back down on his chair like a deflated ball.

Cui Er heard his words and hurried out. Even after she left the study, her body was still shaking.

Within the Peacock Pavilion.

While Yan Luo washed Li Die, it said, "Just now, when this servant went out, I heard that Second Miss and the family's Doctor Yu eloped last night!" Yan Luo smiled. It seemed like it was in a good mood.

"Is that so? "She actually fell for that doctor, all because of Second Sister's temper." Li Die knew about Li Manting's temper. Although she was just a concubine, she had always been picky. To be able to take a fancy to a small doctor, it must be because her second sister changed her personality!

Perhaps everyone had somewhat changed after that incident, but she was still the same as before!

"Girl. You said that Doctor Yu was pretty, but why did the second young lady fall for him? And now they have run off with him. " Yan Luo asked with a puzzled expression.

Although Doctor Yu is a bit handsome, his entire body is exuding a scholarly aura. He is also a very good person. If Second Sister is able to marry him, it would be a pretty good ending." "It's a pity for Li Wanlan and Lu Xinhai. If they had also been able to successfully elope with her, like the two of them, then perhaps they would have been an extremely enviable couple now!

Li Die sighed as she thought about it. She didn't even hear what Yan Luo was saying in her ear.

The servants sent out by Li Xiangnan had not been able to find anyone for a whole day. He could not help but be so angry that he had to throw two cups of tea in order to calm his anger a little.

"Old master, what should we do now?" Housekeeper Tong also had a puzzled look on his face as he said this. This Second Young Miss had already left late or late, but she just happened to elope at this very moment.

"We can only choose between Ping'er and Die'er." Li Xiang Nan closed his eyes slightly, as if he had aged a dozen years in a single night. When people looked at him, they couldn't help but feel their noses turn sour.

"But, Master, these two ladies are both legitimate direct descendants of the family!" After all, Li Manting had been held by Lady Wang since she was young, afraid of being thrown to the ground. It hurt so much.

However, Li Die had been raised in the general's mansion. Although he was from her direct blood uncle's family, he couldn't compare to her family. Therefore, he owed her the most.

This choice put Li Xiangnan in a difficult position. No matter which one it was, she didn't want them to be. After all, marrying meant guarding a widow.

"I know that too. The back of his hand is all meat. I won't feel any pain if you tell me which one to go to." Li Xiang Nan's deep voice sounded, carrying a trace of helplessness and regret.

He couldn't wait to get rid of Li Wan Lan, someone who would only cause trouble but would also implicate his family. He didn't need to keep them.

"Old master, think of a way! After all, no matter what the general does, he has to take some care of it. " Butler Tong thought for a while before consoling her.
