Wu Qianqian began to hide behind Lu Zhiyuan again, shaking her head.
"Uncle, I really didn't see the second young master. I really didn't see it. That day, the third young master and I talked for a while in the house. When the time came, I found that I had forgotten the time because of talking and my hair hadn't been done yet, so I called the maid. When I came in, who knew that the maid was not there, the third young master helped me do my hair. When someone came to call me, I went out first, and the third young master also left. I really didn't see the second young master."
Lu Zhiyuan felt that the person behind him was trembling, so he turned around and hugged the person in his arms, patting him gently.
"It's okay. I'm not questioning you. I just want to ask about the situation that day."
"I know, but I really don't know..."
Li An came and asked several times, but all failed in the end.
Seeing Wu Qianqian looking like that, it was hard to ask anything, so she had to leave first.
Lu Zhiyuan held Wu Qianqian in his arms and coaxed her, and said softly.
"Don't think too much, brother is not targeting you."
Wu Qianqian said in a low voice, somewhat self-blaming.
"I know, but when I got married to you, something happened one after another and I missed the right time. I was afraid that the uncle is my sister's brother and he doesn't like me. I understand. I'm really afraid that he will blame me for this. Come on, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to serve you anymore."
Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head and kissed Wu Qianqian's forehead, feeling heartbroken.
"Don't talk nonsense about whether you will die or not."
"Master, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just afraid. I've visited the house several times, and it seems that I and the third young mistress know the inside story. I know that my sister has a problem with me, but the third young mistress and I will never target the second young master. We had no grudges against him in the past, so why do we have to harm him? Moreover, it was on my wedding day, which was very unlucky, but I always felt that the uncle’s words were meant to remind me and the third young lady... "
"I know that the master believes in me, but people's words are scary. I am always afraid that the master will always say what he says, and you will believe it."
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes deepened. Wu Qianqian seemed to be complaining, but she said a lot of useful information and made Lu Zhiyuan think a lot.
For example, Li An’s successive tests revealed what his intentions were.
Did he want to use Li Honglin's disappearance to make a fuss? His eldest cousin was not an honest master.
Moreover, although Wu Qianqian is the second wife, she has indeed robbed Li Xutang of a lot of glory. It is inevitable that this eldest cousin will hold a grudge and seek justice on Li Xutang's behalf.
Did he go missing when he said his son was missing? Even if he was missing, why were you staring at Wu Qianqian? How could Wu Qianqian, a helpless little girl, be able to make his son disappear?
The more Lu Zhiyuan thought about it, the more he felt that Li An was looking for trouble and must be harboring something bad.
So he sent two men to follow him to see what he was up to.
Li An found no one in the house, couldn't sit still anymore, and left the house.
The people who followed him came back and reported to Lu Zhiyuan.
"The uncle went to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. Someone met him in the temple."
"Can you see clearly?"
"Absolutely true."
Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand to let people leave, and sat on the chair thoughtfully. He didn't come back to his senses until Wu Qianqian entered the room.
"What are you thinking, sir? I just saw Lian Sheng coming."
Lu Zhiyuan had no intention of hiding it from Wu Qianqian and told his subordinates to keep an eye on Li An.
"I was worried that he had other thoughts about you, but I didn't expect that I actually caught him. Honglin's disappearance must be a good show he directed and acted on his own."
Wu Qianqian looked surprised, "Is it true? If that's the case, then report it to the official as soon as possible. The government officials are busy and busy. What should we do if it comes to nothing?"
Lu Zhiyuan saw her timid appearance, smiled and reached out to pat her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
"This matter cannot be reported to the officials. If the officials find out, it will involve our Ning'an Marquis Mansion. I am fine, but I don't want you to follow me and be afraid."
Wu Qianqian's eyes were red, and she lay in Lu Zhiyuan's arms moved.
"Master, you are the best to me. So what are you going to do about this matter? What if the master uses a guise to ask for money from us, or blackmails us, or asks me to leave the master...
At the end of her speech, Wu Qianqian crawled her head out of Lu Zhiyuan's arms in fear.
His eyes blinked like a frightened deer.
How could Lu Zhiyuan be able to bear the beauty in his arms and be so weak? He was so close to tearing Wu Qianqian's bones into her belly.
He rubbed the person into his arms and comforted him patiently.
"Don't worry, I will never let you leave me. Brother, I will find a way."
Wu Qianqian's words once again reminded Lu Zhiyuan that if he wanted to blackmail him, he would blackmail him first.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhiyuan asked someone to visit Li Andi and find out why he brought people with him to the capital this time but placed them in the suburbs.
This rough idea was enough for him to negotiate terms with Li An.
As Lu Zhiyuan expected, Li An was really up to something, and with just a slight threat, he offered him a lot of benefits.
Lu Zhiyuan took the banknote and returned to his yard humming a tune.
Seeing Wu Qianqian anxiously waiting for her at the door, her heart skipped a beat again.
If it weren't for Wu Qianqian's reminder, how could he have made such a huge fortune.
The Li family has strong financial resources and is generous in their dealings.
This time, in order to stop Lu Zhiyuan's mouth, Li An cut off a lot of flesh.
Lu Zhiyuan felt that all this was because Wu Qianqian was trying to persuade him, so he stepped forward, picked him up, and strode into the room.
After this torment, it was evening. Lu Zhiyuan was fast asleep, and Wu Qianqian quietly got up.
After rummaging through Lu Zhiyuan's clothes, she left the room.
The maids outside were all given to her by Si Ning. Wu Qianqian told them not to wake Lu Zhiyuan and went to Qingfeng Garden.
Si Ning was sitting on the recliner, petting Xiao Bai, while Xiao Xiao was rubbing against Lu Hanxiao's feet, trying to please his master.
Lu Hanxiao, however, showed no expression and just handed tea to Si Ning beside him.
Wu Qianqian saw this scene when she came in, and for some reason she felt a bit envious in her heart.
Although neither of them spoke, she just felt very warm.
When Qiu Ju saw her coming in, she whispered to Si Ning. Si Ning slowly raised his eyes and stood up with a smile.
"The bride is here, how are you? How has the second brother treated you these days?"
"Third Young Mistress, you are so mean. I just came in, and you are making fun of me like this. I am so embarrassed."
After saying that, she saluted Lu Hanxiao. Lu Hanxiao nodded calmly and went to the study, leaving the courtyard for the two of them to talk.
Si Ning pulled Wu Qianqian to sit down, and Wu Qianqian took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over.
"Third Young Mistress, I have done what you asked me to do."
Si Ning took the handkerchief, opened it, glanced at it, took out a pile and handed it back to Wu Qianqian.
Wu Qianqian quickly waved her hand and said, "Third Young Mistress, this is impossible."
"You deserve it," Si Ning said.
Wu Qianqian still didn't dare to accept it, "Qianqian was willing to do things for the Third Young Mistress. She didn't think about anything else. If it hadn't been for the Third Young Mistress, Qianqian's life would have been decided on that day..."
