Nanny Chen's face was gloomy. Looking at Hexi's sallow face and thin body, her eyes were slightly red. It was all her fault that she was useless and that was why the young lady was in such a difficult situation.
He Xi said, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll take care of the food and money. Ask Mo San to bring Li Si to see me."
Soon, Li Si, who looked haggard and thin, was brought to Hexi.
As soon as he saw He Xi, he trembled all over, his eyes were full of fear, and he rushed over and began to kowtow: "Miss, I was wrong, I shouldn't have listened to my uncle and hurt you, please forgive me!"
Li Si witnessed his uncle's tragic death with his own eyes. In the past few days, he saw Mo San and others who had dull and empty eyes and obeyed He Xi's orders. At this moment, he was extremely terrified of the female evil star in front of him.
He Xi slowly stood up, walked in front of Li Si, and looked down at him: "You can ask me to spare your life, as long as you tell me who is Zhang Zongguan who sold me to Taotie Pavilion?"
"It's... it's Zhang Dezhong!" Li Si dared not hide it, and quickly answered in a trembling voice, "He is my husband's mother's cousin, and he is very important to the eldest young master and the second young lady in the mansion. In the past six months, he was also responsible for the supplies sent to the other courtyard. I... my uncle and I listened to his instigation, so we helped him knock the young lady unconscious and sent her to the city! But, selling you to the Taotie Pavilion really has nothing to do with me! Miss, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again!"
A fierce look flashed across He Xi's brows, and he said calmly, "Where can I find Zhang Dezhong?"
Li Si hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyelids and said tremblingly: "I don't know either. How can we, the little minions, know the whereabouts of a big shot like Zhang Zongguan... Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, He Xi had already kicked him over and stepped hard on his chest with his left foot. "I forgot to tell you that I always have a bad temper. If anyone dares to lie to me, I won't kill you, but I will definitely make you live a life worse than death!"
"I say! I say! Miss, please spare me!" Li Si screamed for mercy at the top of his lungs, "I don't know where Manager Zhang lives, but he goes to Changlefang to gamble every day. I really don't know anything else. Miss, please spare me!"
Zhang Dezhong! Nalan Feixue! He Xi sneered and suddenly raised his hand. Several silver needles instantly sank into Li Si's brain.
Li Si screamed "Ah" and stared at He Xi with fear and hatred in his eyes: "You... you said you would forgive me..."
Before he finished speaking, the light in his eyes had disappeared, and he became a puppet without any ability to resist.
He Xi sneered and said slowly: "I said I would spare your life, but I didn't say I would let you live like a human being."

At noon, the busiest streets in Yanjing City were bustling with people coming and going and hawkers shouting their wares.
The busiest place is the entrance of Changlefang.
Changlefang is not just a gambling house, it occupies almost half of the street in the city. In addition to the gambling house, its business scope also includes restaurants, dance halls, treasure houses and slave markets.
Therefore, there are always all kinds of people coming and going at the entrance of Changlefang, including many well-dressed and elegant men, and beautiful and charming women.
However, at this moment, everyone's eyes in front of the Changlefang gate gathered at the same place. (To be continued)
