"I beg the princess to show mercy and spare my son Wencai..."

Li Shiliu sat there quietly, looking at Li Yue'er kneeling in front of her, with a disdainful and sarcastic smile on her face. She knew very well that Li Yue'er had been domineering in Yuanjing City because of Tong Guoan's favor, and now she finally tasted the bitter fruit.

Just when Li Shiliu was left alone in the old lady's yard, the Dali Temple Minister Meng Qisui sent people to search Tong Wencai's yard in Tong Mansion with great fanfare, which plunged the entire Tong Mansion into chaos.

After a search, they actually found a lot of things that could not be revealed. These things undoubtedly put Tong Wencai in a very unfavorable situation. If things went wrong, Tong Wencai might be sent directly to see the King of Hell.

In addition, Tong Wencai's personal servant and the manager of the courtyard were also taken away.

If Tong Wencai was not a genuine royal relative, he would have been taken away by the people from the Dali Temple long ago.

Fortunately, the manager of Tong Wencai's courtyard was loyal and took care of all the matters, but even so, Tong Wencai was still under strict supervision.

The situation at this moment is extremely critical for Tong Wencai. If it is not handled in time, he may be in danger of his life soon.

However, the biggest supporter of Li Yue'er and her two sons - the Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan - was not at home at the moment, but was fighting bandits in other places.

Faced with such a situation, Li Yueer was extremely anxious. She knew that Tong Guoan could not come back in such a short time, and her only precious son Tong Wencai was very likely to lose his life. In desperation, she could only muster up the courage to ask Li Shiliu for help.

However, Li Shiliu did not have much affection for Li Yue'er, but she was still useful.

"Mrs. Li, you are a smart person. You know exactly what kind of person your son Tong Wencai is. You also know the consequences if his deeds are verified.

Since this matter has been brought to the Dali Temple, even though I, as your sister-in-law, want to help, I am afraid I am powerless.”

As soon as Li Shiliu said this, Li Yue'er, who was originally full of expectations, suddenly felt disappointed.

She knew that what Li Shiliu said was true, but she couldn't watch her only son die.

So she gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.

"As long as the princess is willing to help Wencai today, I am willing to offer you ten thousand taels of gold. From now on, the three of us, mother and son, will follow the princess' lead."

Hearing this, Li Shiliu sneered in her heart.

Li Yue'er really took the bait!

She deliberately put on an awkward look and said, "Oh, even if the money is gone, the people are happy. Aunt Li really loves her son dearly.

However, although a lot of gold is a lot, it may not be enough to solve the current problem.

And I also need to consider the risks and costs involved.”

When Li Yue'er heard this, she immediately understood what Li Shiliu meant.

She quickly added: "I am willing to do my best to compensate all the victims' families and ensure that they will not pursue this matter again.

This way, it will be easier for the Dali Temple to handle the situation."

Li Shiliu nodded slightly to show her satisfaction.

She continued, “Aunt Li, you know, this matter involves many aspects.

If you want to solve it completely, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Especially the Dali Temple Minister Meng is not easy to deal with. Let me ask someone first. If the Dali Temple is really unable to make concessions, I can only find a way to send Master Tong away. At least he can save his life. Don’t you think so?”

Li Yue'er nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude and expressed her willingness to follow Li Shiliu's arrangements.

She knew very well that Li Shiliu was her last straw. If Li Shiliu was unwilling to help, then she could only watch her son die.
