212 Finding Someone or Killing Her

Tong Sheng stared at Kong Rui’s face in a daze. After a while, he blurted out, “Master, you’re so beautiful!”

Chao Bai glared at Tong Sheng, who retracted his gaze timidly.

Kong Rui smiled at Tong Sheng. “Thank you!”

When the four of them arrived at the front yard of Fragrant Garden, they saw the Li family’s patriarch standing in the middle of the hall with his chin raised and a disdainful and frustrated look on his face.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and asked the procuress, “Why don’t you all sit down and wait? It’s unlike Fragrant Garden to neglect guests like this.”

The procuress looked at Kong Rui with an aggrieved expression. “Master, you’re finally here! It’s not that I don’t want them to sit down! It’s just that they despise Fragrant Garden for being dirty. Sitting down will dirty their lavish clothes!”

Hearing the madam’s words, a guard beside the Li family’s patriarch was about to fly into a rage from the mockery.

After the Li family’s patriarch nodded softly, the guard’s anger immediately subsided. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

From the way the procuress addressed them just now, these two should be the new owners of Fragrant Garden, and the mother and son behind them should be the people they were looking for.

The Li family’s patriarch glanced at Tong Sheng and his mother, but he didn’t speak.

The Third Elder naturally knew that the patriarch wouldn’t ask first at this time, so he asked, “Are the two of you the owners of the Fragrant Garden?”

Kong Rui nodded slightly and said to the Third Elder politely, “That’s right! I wonder what you’re doing in Fragrant Garden?”

The Third Elder looked at Tong Sheng and his mother before turning to look at the Li family’s patriarch.

When the Patriarch came, he had already said that from the spiritual jade, he sensed that Li Ling had seen the son of the Second Elder’s mistress.

They had been searching for him for so long, but it turned out that he was hiding in Fragrant Garden.

However, were they the mother and son in front of them?

The Third Elder wasn’t sure, so he could only wait for the Li family’s patriarch to speak.

The Li family’s patriarch said calmly, “I’m looking for someone.”

“Find someone?” Kong Rui chuckled. “Is there a need for so many people to come together? Those who don’t know better would think that you’re here to tear down Fragrant Garden!” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

When he heard Kong Rui’s words, the Li family’s patriarch’s expression turned even uglier. “The Li family is a famous family in the Imperial Capital and disdain to do anything sneaky. I’m here today to look for my Li family’s lost bloodline!”

Kong Rui almost laughed out loud when she heard the Li family’s patriarch’s words. “So the people who sneaked into Fragrant Garden a few days ago weren’t here to look for the mother and son? Has Fragrant Garden become unclean because of this lost bloodline? Will it dirty the eyes of the Li family?”

Upon hearing Kong Rui’s mocking words, the Li family’s patriarch was enraged, but didn’t flare up immediately.

He had an important use for that mother and son, so now wasn’t the time to be impulsive!

“Are you the second elder’s mistress?” The Li family’s patriarch didn’t want to deal with Kong Rui anymore, so he looked at Su Niang and asked.

Su Niang was shocked and didn’t know how to answer, so she could only look at Kong Rui timidly.

Kong Rui nodded at her.

However, Su Niang was still hesitating about something.

However, Tong Sheng took a step forward and stood in front of his mother. “The Second Elder of the Li family is indeed my father! But my mother is not his mistress! He bullied my mother!”

When he heard Tong Sheng’s words, the Li Clan’s Patriarch’s expression became a little gloomy.

Su Niang immediately covered Tong Sheng’s mouth and looked at the Li family’s patriarch timidly. “I… I did so willingly…”

Hearing Su Niang’s sobs, everyone present couldn’t help but doubt the authenticity of her words.

Some people felt more hatred for the dead Second Elder.

A sharp-tongued girl at the side muttered in a low voice, “That kind of evil person deserved to die!”

Although her voice was soft, it immediately entered the Li family’s patriarch’s ears.

After the Li family’s patriarch shouted, the girl immediately looked pained.

Seeing this, Kong Rui immediately said to the Li family’s patriarch, “Are you here to find people or to kill people?”

Although the Li family’s patriarch’s expression was still ugly after being questioned by Kong Rui, there was no longer any strong killing intent from him.

The girl coughed a few times and immediately hid behind her companion in fear. Then, she looked at the Li family’s patriarch in terror.
