The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Ah?!" Wu Yuqi looked at Li Asi in confusion, "This is what my aunt asked me to do!"

"Do you think Wu Hongli will admit it?" Li Asi said, "Wu Jinshan is her second uncle, and she, the head of the family, may not dare to admit that she poisoned her elders. So she definitely doesn't want you alive. With the strength of the Wu family, Without the protection of the Li family, it would be useless for us to escape to the ends of the earth."

There was a hint of panic in Wu Yuqi's eyes, because this was something she had never thought of. How could a girl like her, who was inexperienced in the world, imagine how dangerous the world was?

"What should we do? Are we going back... to the Li family?"

"It's impossible." Li Asi shook his head and said, "Do you know why the Marquis is willing to let us out?"

"Master Marquis...isn't it because Madam let us go?"

"Humph, Madam is kind and will let us go. But based on my understanding of the Marquis, in order to protect Li Zhai, let alone Madam, even if the Young Master is here, he will contradict him. It is only right that the Young Master and the Madam rely on him. It’s because of this. He has authority, determination, and loyalty, but he has no mercy!”

"Then why did he let us out?"

"Because he knew that we had nowhere to escape. If the Li family didn't kill us, the Wu family would kill us. He let us go to fulfill his wife's reputation of benevolence and righteousness. He took the opportunity to establish family rules and set up a family reward and punishment fund, but we ended up... There is no way to escape death. This is the palace and calculation of the Marquis.

The more Wu Yuqi listened, the more frightened and chilled he became. How could people's hearts be like this?

"Axi..." She hugged Li Axi tightly, leaned against him, and put her face against his, "Go back, you were promoted by the young master. As long as you admit your mistake, neither Madam nor the Marquis will do anything." I'll blame you."

Li Axi didn't speak, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Axi, you don't have to worry about me. I will go back to the Wu family. My surname is Wu. Wu Hongli and my mother are sisters. I am the granddaughter of the old man of the Wu family. They will not do anything to me."

Li Asi shook his head firmly: "No, I won't leave you alone. We will go together if we go."

"Ah? You want to go to Wu's house with me?" Wu Yuqi looked surprised.

"Yes, I will go with you, but not now." Li Asi suddenly stood up, "You wait here, don't go away, I will go back to get something."

After that, he disappeared into the night without looking back.

It's late at night, and the lights of the city in the distance are extinguishing in patches, leaving only sporadic lights.

……

At dawn, Li Asi came back, carrying a black schoolbag in his hand.

"What is this?" Wu Yuqi asked.

Li Axi sat down, opened the bag, took out something from it, and wrapped it in pearl cotton.

He carefully opened the layers of pearl cotton, revealing a fairy statue.

At this time, the sun in the east had just risen, and the rays of rays came over and shone on the statue of the god, creating layers of strange colored lights.

The carvings of the statues are exquisite and lifelike, as if they are coming to life.

"What is this?" Wu Yuqi asked.

"I don't know what this is, but obviously, this is what the Wu family wants." Li Axi said.

"What does the Wu family want?" Wu Yuqi was even more surprised.

"The Wu family captured Zhou Shaoyi, and his wife wanted to exchange Wu Jinshan for hostages with the Wu family, but the Wu family refused. Wu Jinshan was Wu Hongli's second uncle, and the younger brother of Wu Jincheng, the old man of the Wu family. He had a very important position. The Marquis judged that Zhou Shaoyi had what the Wu family wanted. It’s a very important thing, and it’s hidden in the house we bought from him.”

"In order to keep it quiet, the Marquis asked me to look for it myself. It only took me half a day to dig it out from under the old locust tree in the northwest corner of the house. Before I had time to report it, something happened to you."

Li Axi said while observing the statue.

"You...you went to Li's house to steal something. It's still such an important thing. If Butler Hou finds out..." Wu Yuqi said worriedly.

"It's okay. I'm familiar with the Li family's surveillance and formations. They won't know about it. With this thing, you have done a great service for the Wu family. They shouldn't kill you."

"But..." Wu Yuqi always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't explain it.

……

Wu Hongli and Li Chengzhong looked at the fairy statue placed on the table.

"Is this really the statue of Pure Light Goddess?" Li Chengzhong asked.

Wu Hongli took out an antique bronze mirror inlaid with gems and pointed it at the statue.

The gems on the mirror emit a strange light, which shines on the statue of the god, creating a halo of strange colors.

Wu Hongli did not look at the statue, but looked at the mirror.

In the mirror is the mirror image of the statue, which actually shows clearer details than the statue in front of him.

"That's right, this is it. It's exactly the same as the decoration on the portrait, and it's a mirror image. No one can imitate it." Wu Hongli said.

A trace of greed flashed in Li Chengzhong's eyes: "That girl was able to steal things from the Li family. It's incredible!"

"That girl couldn't steal it. This is Li Axi's credit and his certificate of surrender."

"It seems you want to reuse this Li Axi?"

"Why don't you use someone who was abandoned by the Li family? Not to mention a talent!"

"But don't forget, his surname is Li!"

"Haha, I investigated this person a few years ago. He turned out to be the security guard of the house in Beijing. He was taken to the Li family by Li Muchen. It was just a coincidence that his surname was Li. Wu Yuchun was Li Axi's first love, and Qin Shuyi was the ghost-hand man. Using this relationship, he arrested Wu Yuchun's family and forced her to work as an undercover agent in the Li family. After being exposed, Li Asi personally killed Wu Yuchun. Do you think he hated the Li family or Li Muchen when he stabbed her? "

Li Chengzhong suddenly said: "Ah, so to speak, he is a cruel man! But if he kills his girlfriend for glory, he may not be loyal to the Wu family; if he can betray the Li family, why can't he betray the Wu family?"

"Hmph!" Wu Hongli smiled disdainfully, "The Li family is the Li family, and the Wu family is the Wu family. With this," she held up the statue of the goddess Jingguangtian on the table, "when I complete the practice of the goddess Jingguangtian, who will Who dares to rebel against me? "

Li Chengzhong said with a somewhat flattering smile: "That's natural. My Majesty the Queen will rule the world with force for generations to come! Your Majesty the Queen, please take the Pure Light Goddess statue to Wutai Mountain and help me light the wick of the ancient Buddha. , I will serve you at all times!"

"Why are you anxious? Your ancient lotus lamp has been sleeping in the ancient Buddha cave for tens of thousands of years. It doesn't matter for a moment. I will go into seclusion tomorrow. When I practice the Pure Light Goddess Dharma, after I am released from seclusion, I will bring peace to the capital and replace the Li family. I’ll accompany you to Mount Wutai.”

The muscles on Li Chengzhong's face twitched a little, but he still tried his best to maintain the smile. The greed in his eyes became stronger and his voice became more charming. He suddenly knelt down, threw himself on Wu Hongli, hugged her and said, "My Queen, then today Please let me serve you well tonight. When you become the Pure Light Goddess, I’m afraid I won’t be worthy of you. I will only dare to watch from a distance and won’t dare to play with you!”

As he spoke, he tucked his bald head under his skirt.

Wu Hongli giggled crazily.
