Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Chapter 746: Disadvantage_1

Hearing his father’s response, Li Mingrui finally let out a breath he had been holding. He slowly released the steward’s collar and fainted from the pain.

"Quickly! Carry the young master inside! Quickly!" Li Mao’s face changed drastically.

Watching his son being hurriedly carried into the courtyard by the servants, Li Mao’s face darkened. He clenched his hand behind his back and whispered to the steward standing beside him: "Go to Jiuchuan Alley and find the old man. Send him immediately to the Princess of Zhen’s mansion. If the Princess of Zhen doesn’t take his life..."

Li Mao’s voice paused and lowered significantly: "When the old man returns to Jiuchuan Alley, put something in his medicine to end it."

The steward was quite surprised: "But... but when the young master wakes up, won’t he be furious?"

Li Mao narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy cold: "Mingrui is the eldest legitimate son of the Li family. He cannot have any weakness!"

Initially, Li Mao only thought that the old man had a life-saving grace for his wife and son, and had forgotten his past, unable to even find his own home. It wasn’t impossible for the Li family to provide for his old age.

But now, this old man had led his decisive son to protect him so fiercely!

Li Mao was not foolish and understood his son well. Li Mao feared that to protect the old man, his son had stabbed himself before the Princess of Zhen.

Li Mao could not tolerate anyone who could have such an influence on Li Mingrui!

Li Mingrui was the future of the Li family.

"But, Prime Minister, doing this... when the young master wakes up, he might take his anger out on me!" The steward was still deeply fearful of Li Mingrui. Despite the young master appearing gentle and refined, he was ruthless at heart.

"Blame the Princess of Zhen!" Li Mao turned to the steward. "This way... Mingrui will naturally hold a grudge against the Princess of Zhen. Moreover, after this incident, Mingrui will understand the Princess of Zhen’s methods are as formidable as gods and demons. He will no longer underestimate her just because she is a woman, and will be cautious and vigilant in the future. This might not be a bad thing for our Li Mansion!"

Hearing Li Mao’s reasoning, the steward nodded in agreement and immediately took people to Du Residence in Jiuchuan Alley to find the old man.

Indeed, as Li Mingrui had expected, the old man was at Du Residence. However, the old man was not injured. He was trembling all over, holding his head, his face pale, as images both strange and familiar flooded his mind.

A cold-faced little girl practiced long swords and short knives diligently in a university courtyard. Despite her face turning blue from the cold, she did not give up. A tall, smiling teenager handed her a bowl of hot soup, brushed away the snow from her head, and said: "Drink the soup and stop practicing! Go inside to rest and warm up!"

The little girl wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes resolute: "Master said not to rest until I’ve practiced for two hours."

"Master is always strict in words but soft in heart. This meat soup was sent by the master."

Upon hearing this, the little girl’s clear eyes looked in his direction.

The old man pressed his head tightly, recalling the girl who called him "Master" today... the one who almost got her arm cut off by him. Her gaze was exactly the same as that of the little girl in his memory.

Then... who was that boy?
