Chapter 223 Get rid of the weak spot first
"Sister Yaoguang, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Xue, and Brother Yangyang will be fine, right?"
Yi Ge'er looked up and stared at Li Yaoguang, his eyes full of worry.
Li Yaoguang raised her hand and rubbed the little guy's head, smiling and responding: "Don't worry, Yi'er, everyone will be fine. Yi'er is also great, a smart and good boy. Now you eat well, sleep well, and leave the rest to your sister, okay?"
"Yeah." Brother Yi nodded, still worriedly holding Li Yaoguang's hand and expectantly said: "Then Sister Yaoguang must rescue Uncle Cheng and the others."
In Yige's eyes, Li Yaoguang is a very powerful person. If not for her, they would not have been able to escape from the North, so the little guy's eyes are full of unreserved trust.
Li Yaoguang felt soft-hearted and nodded heavily in response. Only then did the little guy continue to eat with peace of mind.
After comforting the little one, Li Qifeng called Li Yaoguang aside, and asked behind his back to his brothers and sisters, "Yaoguang, what are your plans next?"
Li Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the Marquis' Mansion first to investigate the situation."
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
"That's not necessary."
"Why? I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."
"Brother, I want to visit the Marquis' Mansion at night. It would be bad if too many people were there. And if we were discovered, they wouldn't be able to make a fuss about me. If you were there, they would accuse you of trespassing and plotting something bad. How would you live your life?"
"But……"
"Oh, there's nothing to worry about, big brother. Although the mansion is dark, it's not a den of dragons and tigers. I have bribed people inside, so don't worry."
"Okay then. I'll walk you to the door and wait for you outside. If you don't come out, I won't come back."
Seeing that the other party insisted, Li Yaoguang had no choice but to nod. The brother and sister explained the situation at home, and Desheng stayed behind while they went out with Black Whirlwind.
Before going to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Yaoguang took a detour to the Flower Street where there was no curfew and bought a lot of food.
Seeing how Yi Ge'er was wolfing down her food, it seemed likely that her relatives had not eaten or drunk anything for the day. Li Yaoguang specially brought a food box with her. In addition to the food from the restaurant, she also bought two roast chickens that her uncle loved, and several packs of snacks. The brother and sister each carried a food box to the corner gate of the marquis's mansion.
Li Yaoguang successfully shouted open the corner gate and thanked Mrs. Yu for her help. When she learned that Li Qifeng was waiting for someone, Mrs. Yu thoughtfully arranged the man and the wolf in the empty gatehouse at the corner gate so that Li Yaoguang could feel at ease.
Seeing that the place was free to move forward and backward, and that his brother would be able to escape safely in case of an accident, Li Yaoguang felt relieved. He took the two food boxes and went directly to the ancestral hall pointed out by Yu Pozi.
Walking in the marquis's mansion where there were no servants patrolling at night, Li Yaoguang couldn't help but sigh that the Zhenwei Marquis's mansion was truly in decline.
At this hour, most of the masters and servants in the mansion had gone to bed. She didn't meet anyone on the way here. When she arrived, the two old women who were supposed to be guarding the door of the ancestral hall were nowhere to be seen, which made things convenient for her.
Li Yaoguang glanced at the closed door, put away the food box, and walked around the ancestral hall to check it out. He found that the ancestral hall here was much inferior to the one in Kyoto. It was a simple entrance and the courtyard was unreasonably small.
Turning back to the door, the big copper lock on the door was simple and easy to knock, but in order to prevent being discovered, Li Yaoguang did not touch the lock at all. Instead, he took out the ladder that had been used so many times, placed it in front of the door, and climbed over the wall.
While Li Yaoguang was busy, a couple sitting on the floor in the ancestral hall were talking and fanning their son who was curled up on two cushions and sleeping.
"Su Lang, I'm really worried about Guang Jie. Given the character of the Marquis's family, I'm afraid that..."
"It's okay. Sister Guang is smart, and she has the Cheng'en Mansion behind her, as well as Shen Yue and Ji Mo. These are all capable children, and they are there to protect Sister Guang. With them around, Sister Guang will not suffer any loss."
Although Cheng Su's words were solemn, they were indeed words to comfort his wife. After all, profit comes first in this world. He did not expect that Xinhai Pavilion would be so big, so well-run, and so profitable. He was also afraid... No, no, no, no, no, my niece is so smart. If she dares to do it, she should have a backup plan.
Cheng Su hurriedly comforted himself and shook off the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
Yu Meixue has always believed in her husband and niece, so she felt relieved when she heard her husband say that. But then, looking at her son who was sleeping with a frown on his face, Yu Meixue started to worry about something else.
"Alas, although kneeling in the ancestral hall is painful, at least the whole family is here and we can watch. Poor Yi Ge'er, I wonder how the child is doing now?"
Speaking of Yi Ge'er, Cheng Su also became worried. Before he could comfort him again, a familiar voice suddenly sounded like nature's sound, which instantly made the couple perk up.
"Aunt and uncle, don't worry. Brother Yi is very smart. He sneaked out to tell me the news."
"Guang'er?"
"Sister Guang?"
"How did you come?"
The couple shouted in unison, extremely delighted, and stood up together to greet him.
He stepped into the ancestral hall lit with incense and candles, and in the not-so-bright light, he looked up and down at the two people and the little one on the futon, "My family is in trouble, how can I not come? Aunt, uncle, are you all here? Have you been bullied?"
The couple shook their heads vigorously: "Everything is fine, everything is fine, we are fine."
Seeing that the family of three were indeed fine and did not look like they had been punished, Li Yaoguang's heart finally settled down.
"Everything is fine, aunt and uncle, you are all hungry, right? I know you didn't eat, so I went out to buy some delicious food, including my uncle's favorite roast chicken, and aunt and Yang'er's favorite cakes. Aunt, quickly wake Yang'er up and let him eat something before going to sleep, otherwise an empty stomach will hurt his body."
After Li Yaoguang's interruption, Yu Meixue hurriedly responded and went to call her son.
Li Yaoguang took out two food boxes from the space, but did not put them on the altar. Instead, he placed them on the ground in front of him. While setting the table, he also whispered to Cheng Su who offered his help.
"Uncle, what are your plans for today?"
Cheng Su paused while holding the plate and looked at his wife and children beside him. The gentleness in his eyes disappeared and turned into fierceness. He had already made a plan and looked at Li Yaoguang solemnly.
"Sister Guang, your uncle knows that you are capable, and I want to ask you for a favor."
Li Yaoguang followed seriously, "You go ahead."
"Can you think of a way to get your aunt and Yang Ge'er out of the Marquis' Mansion legitimately?"
"Get it out?"
"Yes, use any method, as long as we can get the person out safely, and quickly!" As long as his biggest weakness is solved and he can get out of this wolf's den, he will risk everything.
Li Yaoguang couldn't help but worry when he saw the madness in his uncle's eyes, "Uncle, please don't do anything rash, these are actually just small matters."
Seeing the deep worry in his child's eyes, Cheng Su felt sad. He suddenly smiled, raised his hand and patted Li Yaoguang's shoulder to comfort him.
"Hahaha, silly child, your uncle hasn't had enough of the good days ahead of him, so don't worry, I won't do anything stupid!" If I have to do something, it will be something big!
