"What kind of woman does he like, could you remind me?"
Aunt Bi smiled sweetly, the traces of her tears still wet at the corners of her eyes, but hints of joy have already appeared.
"Nurse Peng, if I can become the type of woman he likes, and considering the affection we’ve had growing up together, would he not have to love me?"
Nurse Peng was puzzled, "What kind of women Master Li likes, I really don’t know, and how could you become the type of woman Master Li likes?"
Aunt Bi pointed towards Bishui Villa, "It’s quite simple, get close to her and learn from her!"
The earth is covered by an unbroken blanket of darkness. The streets are deserted, and the shops on both sides have closed for the day, extinguishing their lanterns. The whole of the county town seems asleep, sinking into tranquillity.
Cai Wei crawled out from where she was hiding, checked the moonlight, looked at the quiet street, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
At a low call, a mountain-like white tiger suddenly appeared in front of her, stooping down. Cai Wei leapt and rode onto the white tiger’s back.
The white tiger immediately sprung forward like a sharp arrow, heading to the south.
When passing by Magistrate Li’s residence, Cai Wei glimpsed at the hanging white gauze at the entrance. It was only on noon news when it was announced that County Magistrate Li had suddenly passed away, later than news of Gao Jia’s robbery but it was definitely more explosive than his family’s news! This news undoubtedly became the top talk in Yushu County on that day.
There are two very sensational versions about Master Li’s death, which greatly cater to people’s juicy gossip, and has provided lots of amusement to the curiosity of ordinary folks towards noble families!
One of these versions is that County Magistrate Li indulged in pleasure and died of exhaustion with two concubines. The other is that County Magistrate Li had perverse tastes and the two concubines, who couldn’t stand his torture, conspired to murder him!
Which of these two versions is true, and which is false? The public did not know from where to verify, but Cai Wei knew the reason.
Master Li got himself killed by indulgence!
She had given them such a strong dose of medicine last night. Just smelling that medicine is overwhelming, let alone spilling so much of it on themselves. The scandal of Li Mansion did not come out until noon because Master Li had been on the road to death throughout the morning.
Their home was robbed, and the family was thrown into chaos. When everyone found County Magistrate Li crying and sobbing, he was still having an orgy with his concubines and the maids in the concubines’ bedroom. The servants heard the shameful noises and didn’t dare to interrupt, only huddled at the entrance.
Later, Madam Li felt suspicious as her husband was taking too long. Adding to that, their house had been robbed. She, therefore, did not bother with remaining patient, and rushed in to split her husband from the women.
But to her surprise, she found her husband behaving as if he were out of his senses. Regardless of what she said, he did not listen and just blindly indulged. The two women behaved as if they were crazy, disregarding all decency, and committed indecent acts in her presence. This left Madam Li speechless and stunned.
Later on, Madam Li realized that something was seriously wrong, and tried to pull Count Magistrate Li away but he seemed to be possessed. He punched her and knocked her out, then continued on with his activities...
Later, Madam Li woke up to see Magistrate Li lying rigidly on the bed, he was breathing out but not breathing in!
Because County Magistrate Li died in such a shameful way, the Li family did not disclose anything. They just stated that he had a sudden death during sleep!
But, there were servants whose mouths were not so tight, and they still managed to spill the beans with some exaggerated details, making it the headline gossip in taverns and tea houses.
The Li family also didn’t dare to speak about the robbery, because the amount of money that was lost in their house was substantial. It was all the money County Magistrate Li had embezzled over the years. If the thieves were caught and the amount they stole from the Li’s house was disclosed, even though Master Li was already dead, his family would also be caught in the disaster!
The white tiger ran swiftly, shooting across mountains and cities like a sharp arrow. Finally, before daybreak, they arrived at the capital!
