Zuiqingfeng Winery.
Another batch of new wine was brewed successfully.
The fragrant smell of wine escaped. The busy men wiped the sweat from their foreheads and carefully carried the big wine jars into the basement.
The basement of Zuiqingfeng Winery is as wide as a spider web. Most of it is a wine cellar where old wine is stored, and some of it is a dark room where hidden guards move.
The main industry of the hidden guards of Sixiang City such as Wanyishan is this winery, and it is also the headquarters of the hidden guards of Sixiang City.
They are both hidden guards and true brewers, and these two identities are not in conflict.
In a closed secret room, Zi Yan sat on a tiger leather chair, with her feet raised on the table in front of her, and a bi shou dazzled between her fingers, like an elf dancing, which was fancy and beautiful. , does not reduce the lethality.
Li Qingyuan, who was sitting not far across from her, was not as leisurely and calm as Zi Yan. There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Snapped!"
The bishou in Zi Yan's hand flew up.
The hair on Li Qingyuan's whole body stood up, and his body stiffened at this moment. The fear and horror made his heart hurt, as if a huge hand reached out from his chest, grabbed his heart and squeezed it hard.
It wasn't until the bi shou scratched his earlobe and hit the center of the target behind him that he let out a heavy breath and rolled his eyes, like a landed fish being thrown into the water again and coming to life.
At this time, another bi shou appeared in Zi Yan's hand, which was almost exactly the same as the previous one. The blade reflected the light, shining a bright light in Li Qingyuan's eyes.
"Li Qingyuan is the second son of the head of the Li family in Sixiang City. His mother is a concubine and a concubine. He has never been taken seriously by the head of the family. He lives in the shadow of the eldest brother of the Li family, Li Qingsong, and is always worried about being bullied by Li Qingsong."
After Zi Yan finished speaking, she stared at Li Qingyuan's eyes. Although her face was expressionless, it brought a great psychological deterrent to Li Qingyuan.
Li Qingyuan opened his mouth, but his lips interfered. There was a bitter taste in his mouth. He wanted to speak, but he was too dry to say anything.
"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Jiang. I come from the imperial court. You can call me Mr. Jiang..."
"Snapped!"
Zi Yan clapped her palm, and the bi shou spinning in her hand stabbed straight into the table and submerged into the wood. She put down her long legs, put her hands on her chest, overlapped them, and her eyes were like a handful. Staring at Li Qingyuan like a knife.
"Li Qingyuan, are you willing? Are you willing to be suppressed by your elder brother and be misunderstood and looked down upon by others?"
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Qingyuan's mind roughly and without any tricks.
Are you willing?
He is not willing to give in!
Thinking of his eldest brother Li Qingsong, wanting the attention of the eldest lady, and thinking of the disdain and contempt for him from the powerful people who came to his home, the suppressed fire in his heart suddenly burned brightly.
Why can he only be a playboy? Are you worried all the time?
Why is it that the eldest brother Li Qingsong takes over the family's business? Just because he is a bastard?
A concubine is also a human being, a true son of the head of the family, a true son of the Li family.
His fists were clenched so hard that his nails were digging into his flesh.
But he didn't know whether he should speak or not. He was unwilling and he was not a fool.
The "Young Master Jiang" in front of him had a handsome and enchanting face, and a pair of fox-like eyes. Although he was beautiful, he always worried that he was a devil and that he would fall into the devil's trap.
"Don't you dare to admit it? Or are you afraid that I will be a monster and eat you?" The corner of Zi Yan's lips curled up, and she said lightly: "Li Qingyuan, this is your only chance. Think about it carefully, are you willing?" Cooperate with me to change your destiny, or choose to protect your eldest brother and face death calmly?"
"In addition, if you choose to die, your death will be worthless, and no one will remember you, except your mother who will not be reincarnated in the underworld after she died unjustly..."
"What? My mother, she...she died unjustly?" At this moment, Li Qingyuan's mind was full of these words.
To say who has been really nice to him since he can remember, there is only one person, and that is his mother who was unexpectedly visited by the head of the family.
His mother was originally just a cook. Although she was good-looking, her status was too low. If she had not given birth to a child for the Li family, she would not be qualified to enter the Li family.
Later, when Li Qingyuan was twelve years old, his mother died of illness.
From then on, no one taught him anymore, and he also embarked on the path of sensuality.
"Yes, your mother was killed by someone." Zi Yan said lightly.
"Impossible, my mother died due to illness, she was not harmed by anyone." Li Qingyuan's eyes widened and he gasped for air.
"Li Dahu, bring someone to prove it." Zi Yan stretched out her fingers and tapped on the table a few times.
Afterwards, Li Dahu left the room, and not long after, he brought someone out from the next room.
The man plopped down on his knees as soon as he entered the room.
"Mother Wu? Are you still alive?" Li Qingyuan glanced at it, and the figure hidden in his memory gradually began to become clearer.
This gray-haired old woman was a nun who served the ladies in the Li family back then, named Aunt Wu. Li Qingyuan was deeply impressed by her because when he was very young, it was this Aunt Wu who was used by the ladies for a while. She was assigned to serve his mother. After all, his mother had merit in giving birth to a son and was promoted as an aunt.
Later, his mother died, and Grandma Wu disappeared. It was said that she was driven away. Later, someone reported that this person died outside.
At this point, no matter how much he didn't believe it, Li Qingyuan knew that something was wrong.
Since Grandma Wu, who should have died long ago, is still alive, will her mother die of a normal illness?
"Mother Wu, how did my mother die?" Li Qingyuan couldn't wait.
"Second Young Master, don't blame me. I was forced. If I don't do it, I will die, and my whole family will die..." Aunt Wu knelt on the ground and suddenly started crying.
"Tell me, how did you hurt my mother!"
Li Qingyuan stood up suddenly. He was not tied up. He did not dare to move because of fear before. Now in the extremely angry situation, he could not care about anything. He slapped the armrests of the chair with both hands, walked over quickly and kicked Then he kicked Nanny Wu to the ground.
"Madam forced me to do it. I didn't mean to do it. It wasn't intentional." Aunt Wu fell to the ground, twitching like a shrimp, her eyelids rolled back, and her whole body was shaking.
"Li Qingyuan, no need to ask, your mother was poisoned to death by arsenic." Zi Yan said lightly.
"Really? Old thing, was my mother poisoned to death by arsenic?"
"Second Young Master, don't blame me, don't blame me." Aunt Wu was still rolling her eyes.
