“What do you think this is all about?”In the security room at the entrance of the manor, a few hired bodyguards sighed as they smoked.
They were all old people who had worked in the GU family for more than ten years. The Li family hired guards who were actually retired special forces soldiers, but this was central China after all. In fact, most of the guards of the wealthy families would not be attacked from the time they entered the service until they retired…
Even so, the Li family was actually quite idle. When they were bored, they began to care about these gossips…
One of the middle-aged men with a crew cut patted his hat and said, “You say this Mrs. Li, it was not easy for her to gain power by relying on her daughter. Even the old master of the Li family came to her door to curry favor with her. It has only been a few days, but her mistress actually came to her door. This n.o.ble family’s matter really looks strange…”. “…”
“Then… didn’t that mistress come to her house to plead for mercy?”One of the youngest newbies, who had just entered the office, asked in a daze.
“She didn’t come to her house to plead for mercy…”. The middle-aged man who had spoken just now rolled his eyes and said, “That’s called pleading for mercy?”? “That was clearly coming to her house to force her to give in. Other people didn’t take his son’s life. To put it bluntly, didn’t she come to her house to fight for her son’s inheritance rights?”? The mistress brought her illegitimate son to the house to beg the original wife to divide the family’s a.s.sets among her son. Do you call this pleading?”
“UH…”the newcomer was stunned. He felt that something was not right… …
“Actually, it’s nothing…”. The middle-aged man with crew cut continued, “That woman has given birth to a son. It’s not like it’s been a day or two since she had the idea of becoming an official. The key is the att.i.tude of the Li family. After the first act of courting, they let the woman in. Isn’t that crazy?”
“What’s so hard to understand?”The oldest veteran in the guard room put out the cigarette in his hand and said faintly, “Isn’t it just bullying madam for being soft-hearted? Madam originally wanted to get a divorce because of the Miss’disappearance. This time, she was persuaded by a few good words. Now that she sees that madam is so easy to talk to, doesn’t she want to take an inch and take a mile?”
“How can she tolerate this?”The one who spoke was the only female soldier among the guards, who had just arrived.
“Madam is a person, you’ll know after you come into contact with her for a long time. She’s too soft-hearted…”the veteran sighed and lit another cigarette, smoking silently, there were some words that were left unsaid. The so-called benevolence did not rule the army. This sentence was also used to describe the female head of the household. If it was a more powerful woman, even if she did not give birth to a son for the Li family, she would not be bullied so miserably, even some servants dared to look down on this female head of the household.
These guards actually had a good impression of this madam of the Li family. First of all, she had never defaulted on her salary and usually did not have much to do. She would not make things difficult for them if they needed to take a leave of absence or something like that, the most important thing was the respect that ordinary wealthy families did not have.
When a special forces soldier retired, he was good at security. His salary was high and he did not have to work hard. However, he did not have any status and was easily treated as a dog. Some proud soldiers were not willing to do this. Although this madam of the Li family was a little soft-tempered.., it had to be said that her upbringing was still very good. She didn’t have the domineering air of a rich lady, and her daughter was also well-taught. Little Jiayi came in and out, and when she saw their uncles and uncles, she didn’t hesitate to call them. This was something that other wealthy families couldn’t compare to.
Being a guard for this mother and daughter was definitely better than being a guard for that overbearing, ungrateful mistress.
Unfortunately… … It wasn’t up to them to decide on this matter…
“Oh right, this eldest daughter of the Li family is actually a member of the sect? The Li family hasn’t known about this for so many years. This matter is really strange. Don’t you guys usually notice it?”The newcomer asked.
“Uh…”the few elders were stunned when they heard this. The oldest person touched his chin and said, “To be honest… I really didn’t notice that Jia Yi is a cultivator…”
The surrounding people nodded and echoed, “This girl comes home on time every day to eat. Where does she cultivate?”
The newcomers were even more curious. They were also curious about the old seniors’att.i.tude toward Miss Li, especially the way they addressed her as if she was their junior.
Just as they were thinking about it, a sweet voice suddenly sounded, “Uncle Qi, it’s not good to gossip about others during office hours, right?”
Everyone was stunned. When they heard the voice, they looked over and saw that Li Goudan had arrived at some point in time… …
At this moment, Li Jiayi was using her original body. She was no different from usual. Her eyes were smiling like a line, causing the few old guards who were startled to immediately feel relieved.
“How did you sneak in?”The old guard who was called Uncle Qi rolled his eyes and asked curiously.
Li Goudan grinned and said, “I also wanted to ask, why did you let people in just like that? Our Manor’s electronic door monitors everything.”
The few guards immediately felt guilty when they heard this. They naturally knew who the little girl was referring to.
In theory, the guests in the manor had to first report to the owner before letting them in. Although Mrs. Li was soft-hearted, she would never let anyone in if the other party was outside the door from the start.
Seeing the few guards lowering their heads in guilt, Li Goudan said with a smile, “Was it my father’s hint or my grandfather’s?”
“Jiayi… can you stop making things difficult for us?”Uncle Qi sighed.
“No…”Li Jiayi shook her head. “You won’t make it through today. Either help us or my father’s side. You can only choose one…”
The few guards were stunned. They felt that the other party’s expression turned cold as she shook her head. For some reason, the temperature in the entire guard room instantly dropped by a few degrees.
The change in the aura of this scene made them astonished. Until now, they finally believed the rumor that this girl was a cultivator. Just this aura and pressure might not even exist among the devil instructors who had trained them in the past.

“Sister… Please give us a way out…”in the living room, a beautiful young woman was crying so hard that her makeup was ruined. A man about the same age as Li Jiayi was kneeling in the living room. Of course, he didn’t have the acting skills of his mother, so, he could only cover his face with his head.
“Madam… Please say something…”the female butler at the side also advised gently, “It’s not a big deal to let the young master kneel all the time…”
At this moment, Zhang Minjun, who had crossed her arms and had a cold expression on her face, felt a complicated feeling in her heart.
He was the young master, so what was she?
From the moment the guards let them in to the moment when the servants did not order the mother and son to eat and stay, to the moment when the butler directly helped to persuade them.
As the young mistress, she really did not have any face… …
Zhang Minjun could not help but smile wryly. Yichen did not pick up the phone either. It was clear that he wanted her to compromise… …
However, if she compromised, what difference would it make from before?
She suddenly felt very tired and could not help but think to herself, how much longer do I have to endure for the sake of my ident.i.ty as the wife of a wealthy family on the surface?
When will this day end?
“When has it ever been up to a servant like you, my mother, to control whether she speaks or not?”
