With a bang, all the inkstones and brushes on the table fell to the ground. Li Shicheng was furious: "Who did it? Go check it out!"

"I'll go right away, right away," the servant hurriedly left, fearing that he would be punished by Li Shicheng if he was a moment late.

Feng covered her eyes and sobbed behind the head of the Li family. After everyone left, she threw herself into his arms and cried miserably.

"Master, you have to make a decision for Qiu Cheng. Our daughter is the most lively and lovely, but now she is lying in bed. When I think of Qiu Cheng like that, my heart is bleeding, wuwu."

Li Shicheng had a sullen face, and his tone could not hide his anger: "What did the doctor say?"

Feng wiped her tears and said, "The doctor said our daughter was frightened and might have a fever later. Master, our daughter has never suffered such a hardship since she was a child. You have to feel sorry for her."

"How can I not feel sorry for my daughter? Let's wait for the people below to investigate what happened. How dare someone in such a small desert village kill someone from my Li family? Do they really think that my Li family is easy to bully?"

In Zhou Huai, not far from the Li family, Li An received news from Zhang Wu early in the morning. After finding out the reason, he found Zhou Huai and told him about it.

Zhou Huai was reading in the room. He chuckled when he heard this: "That's indeed Shi Wei's style. What about the Li family?"

"Li Shicheng has already sent people to investigate. However, even if he knows that he is not in the right, he will not let it go easily. Miss Song will most likely be in trouble."

Zhou Huai closed the book, leaned back, and laughed magnetically: "Based on my understanding of Shi Wei, the Li family is not a problem."

Li An looked up at Zhou Huai: "Then we don't care?"

"Let's talk about it after there's any movement from Li Shicheng."

"Yes, I will have someone keep an eye on Li Shicheng. Also, do you want to let Miss Song know so that they can be prepared?"

Zhou Huai waved his hand: "No, I believe her."

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu, who were mentioned by the two families, were drinking tea in the main room as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Wu was also worried that the Li family would come back to cause trouble, but seeing Song Shiwei's indifferent expression, he felt that it was really not a big deal.

Huang Ying knew that the two had been out, and guessed that it was probably related to the Li family, but she didn't know what they were doing out there. Now she and Feng Ru were embroidering in the room.

Thinking of the giant Li family, Huang Ying felt uneasy. As she was thinking about it, she felt a sharp pain and cried out.

Feng Ru quickly put down her needle and thread and walked to Huang Ying: "Ah, sister-in-law, you are bleeding."

After saying that, Feng Ru hurriedly took out a handkerchief from the drawer, and then rushed out to fetch some water: "Sister-in-law, take a quick shower. The pain will go away if you rinse with cold water."

Huang Ying smiled slightly: "Thank you, Ruer."

Feng Ru smiled and shook her head. She picked up the small bowl in the basin and slowly washed Huang Ying's fingertips. While washing, she said crisply, "My mother said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart. When I first started embroidering, I always pricked my fingers. It was so painful. Sister-in-law, are you feeling better now?"

"Much better. Ru'er is really smart. She even knows this method. After taking a cold fruit bath, the pain is gone."

Feng Ru smiled shyly: "My mother also taught me."

Huang Ying couldn't help but feel pity in her eyes when she heard Zhang Wu talk about Feng Ru's life story.

At this moment, Li Shicheng had also found out what happened. When he learned that the source of this matter was his wife, he immediately clenched his cheeks and punched the round table: "Zhang Wu, good, very good, a country boy dared to kill someone from my Li family. If I don't teach him a lesson, you really think my Li family is a paper tiger."

"Someone, call Li Er over to me."

The servant waiting outside the door responded quickly.

Several aristocratic families all have guards who are responsible for patrolling and guarding the mansions. Madam Li has no right to mobilize the guards, so she can only let the servants in the mansion find trouble for Zhang Wu. She originally thought that he was just a poor boy in the village who was powerless, but she never thought that he was actually armed.

This matter was originally Mrs. Li's fault, but as a noble family, the dignity of the Li family cannot be challenged.

Li Shicheng would not let Zhang Wu go easily, nor would he let the boy's sister that the maid mentioned go. Although Li Shicheng did not quite believe that a teenage girl could pick up a sword and kill people, they were a family after all. Anyone who killed someone from the Li family must pay with his life.

So when Li Er came, Li Shicheng directly asked him to bring five guards with the best martial arts skills and wait until nightfall to go there.

Li Shicheng had just arranged this matter, but after a cup of tea, Li An received the news.

Li An hurried into Zhou Huai's room: "Sir, Li Shicheng is ready to take action."

"explain."

Li An clasped his fists and said, "I just received news that Li Shicheng asked his guards to go to Zhang Wu and Miss Song's house at night, ready to make them pay with their lives."

Zhou Huai's eyes turned cold and he put the bracelet he was playing with on the table, making a dull sound.

"Tell Zhang Wu the news, and don't mention me."

Li An nodded: "Yes, I will go right away. Sir, what about the Li family?"

Zhou Huai sneered: "He is courting death, just wait and see."

"Okay, I'll take my leave."

After going out, Li An went straight to Zhang Wu's house. When he arrived there, he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response, so he had to go to Song Shiwei's place again.

Zhang Wu was a little surprised to see Li An after he opened the door. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here at this hour?"

Just as Li An was about to speak, he saw Huang Ying and Feng Ru coming out from behind Zhang Wu. He pulled Zhang Wu out of the door and lowered his voice, "You are still smiling when trouble is coming. You don't pay more attention to the weak and small ones at home."

Hearing this, Zhang Wu's smile disappeared and he frowned at him: "Li family?"

Li An nodded: "Li Shicheng, oh, the current head of the Li family, has arranged his guards to come and trouble you at night. You should have some idea in your mind. If possible, send Ruer and your wife to your Yue family first."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements. Thank you."

Li An patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "Why thank me? We are brothers. If I didn't know you wouldn't agree, I would have wanted to stay."

Zhang Wu smiled again: "Forget it, I can handle it by myself. Besides, I have my master, so don't worry."

"I'm not worried about you. With Miss Song here, we can easily defeat professional assassins, not to mention a few guards. Okay, I came here to tell you this. I'm going back now."

"Okay, walk slowly."

Zhang Wu stood there and watched Li An leave. He turned around and walked towards the main room after he could no longer see his figure.

Huang Ying was holding an umbrella and feeding grass to the horses in the stable. When she saw Zhang Wu coming back, she asked, "Is the person who just came to see you the Li An you mentioned?"

"Yes, it's him. He wants to tell me something. I'll feed the horses later. Don't let them get wet in the rain."

Huang Ying glared at him and said, "You don't let me do this, you don't let me do that, you do everything, you marry me and take me home as your ancestor."

Zhang Wu laughed loudly: "It's fine to be the ancestor. I'm going to talk to the master first. You come in quickly."

"understood."
