Chapter 746: Falling into a Desperate Situation (1)_1
"Don’t be afraid, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you." Lady Mu looked at her kneeling son and daughter on the ground, her heart aching like a knife was twisting in it.
"My, sister-in-law, you do have a big mouth." Lady Jin rolled her eyes at her unabashedly, "At this time, you’re still spoiling them. They’ve committed a capital crime. What are you going to use to save them?"
Lady Mu coldly gazed at Lady Jin. "They are my children. How I save them is not your business."
"Goodness, listen to her, brother." Lady Jin exaggeratedly cried out, "Even at this stage, she doesn’t know how to repent. If the Prince finds out, our Li family’s remaining bit of favor might be lost."
"Mother." Li Jieyong sighed and tried to appease Lady Mu.
The concubines of the main house all began to cry at Lady Mu’s words, pleading with Marquis Li, "If we lose even the last bit of kindness, our entire Li Family will be doomed."
"Master, the eldest son and eldest daughter are your children. So is Teng. Teng has made no mistake, you can’t let him bear the punishment of the eldest son and daughter."
...
Immediately, the cries of the concubine’s legitimate and illegitimate children followed.
Li’s servants all hid far away, all of them were frightened at heart. Each of them secretly praying, hoping that the calamity brought on by the two masters would not involve the innocent servants.
"As long as I’m here, no one in the residence dares to touch a hair on your head." Lady Mu’s face was determined. The look in her eyes towards Marquis Li held deep disdain. This man was the most selfish, always thinking of himself first when something happened.
