"As soon as he left, I immediately climbed out of the window. I waited for a while under the windowsill, and soon I heard someone open the door and enter the house."

Li Yuanqiao is a young talent, and he feels ashamed to talk about these things.

But since they had plotted against him in this way, he would have to see how they would reap the consequences of their actions.

"Afterwards, Fang Yuqian called out "cousin" a few times at the door. Seeing no one responded, she opened the door. Unexpectedly, she was pulled inside by someone inside."

"The room was dimly lit, with the doors and windows closed. She must have thought that the man who pulled her was me, so she didn't resist."

"I thought the man was my second brother who had just left and returned, so I didn't listen to him and left quickly. When I came out, I saw my sister running to look for me in a hurry."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "I feel relieved to see that my brother is okay."

Li Yuanqiao hummed.

"The first thing my sister asked me when she saw me was whether I had drunk the poisoned wine. I said no. She also said that was strange because Li Yuanming hadn't drunk it either."

Li Shuangwan took over the conversation: "At that time, we both realized that something was wrong. My brother is fine, Li Yuanming is fine, so who drank the poisoned wine?"

Li Yuanqiao took over the conversation: "We were worried, so we took a detour to the main hall. We stood outside the wall for a long time and found that everyone was there except Second Uncle."

"In order to verify whether this was true, my sister and I quickly returned to the west wing and asked the housekeeper to check. The housekeeper pushed the door open and went in, and came out a short while later, saying that the people inside were indeed my second uncle and Fang Yuqian."

Li Yuanqiao lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, we don't know how things have developed to this point. If we knew..."

Without waiting for Li Yuanqiao to finish his words, Li Huaiying snorted and said, "Humph, this matter is not your fault, there is nothing to feel guilty about. They shot themselves in the foot, it is their own fault, they cannot blame anyone else."

Li Shuangwan looked at his father in surprise, thinking that his father would blame them for things having developed to this point.

However, what Li Shuangwan found strange was that Li Yuanming had clearly confirmed that his brother had been poisoned by the aphrodisiac incense, so why did he still light the poisoned incense?

Zhu Anhe was so angry that tears streamed down her cheeks: "Lao Ying, you have seen everything that happened today. The second branch of the family has really gone too far. They have been calculating against us everywhere and trying to drag us into the quagmire all the time."

"The old lady has such a vicious heart that she even dragged all my family members here. She is going to ruin Yuan Qiao. Over the years, all the delicious and useful things have been given to the second house, but what's the result? She raised a bunch of ungrateful people!"

"I just can't understand. Although you are not her biological son, you have been treating her like your own mother for decades, and I have always been treating her like her own mother-in-law. How come I am not as kind as she is? Why are you scheming against us like this?"

"This one must score!"

Li Shuangwan's face was full of anger: "Dad, this is an opportunity they have brought to our doorstep. Even if we propose to separate the family, the old lady won't say anything."

If this family doesn't divide up this time, even my grandfather's family will look down on them.

Li Huaiying nodded: "I will go and tell the old lady that from now on, the first and second houses will only have the same surname."

He no longer called old lady Fang "mother".

At this time, Mo Lin came back with a letter in his hand and came to Gu Xingyan: "Master, there is a letter from Xixiang City."

"It is said that they have found out the truth about the death of the old general's wife, and there are some other things. Master, you should read it yourself."

Maureen looked a little strange.

Everyone's eyes turned over here.

Gu Xingyan quickly unfolded the letter to read it.

The letter seemed to be written in a hurry, with only a few simple words, but it was truly shocking.

Li Shuangwan's eyes were also fixed on Gu Xingyan.

Xingyan had told her a long time ago that he had sent people to Xixiang City to investigate the death of his grandmother.

He also sent people to investigate how Fang became his grandfather's concubine.

After all, this happened more than 40 years ago. I thought it would take at least two to three months to investigate, if not half a year. But now, only more than a month has passed, has the matter been solved?

Therefore, she noticed every subtle change in Gu Xingyan's expression.

Even though Gu Xingyan tried his best to stabilize what he saw, the expression in his eyes had already begun to slowly crack.

He raised his eyes and looked at everyone, not knowing how to start.

"What, what happened? Xingyan, what did the letter say?"

Gu Xingyan pursed her lips and handed the letter to Li Shuangwan.

Li Shuangwan took it and glanced at it, his expression changed drastically: "How, how is this possible!"

If this is true, then why are Chunning's eyebrows and eyes so similar to hers?

It’s because he is Li Shuangzhi’s son.

And is Li Shuangzhi the second uncle’s daughter?

But now, what does the letter say?

How can this be!

Seeing his daughter's big reaction, Li Huaiying took the letter in confusion. After reading it, he flew into a rage: "Ridiculous, this is impossible! It must be a mistake."

Gu Xingyan knew that it would be difficult for them to accept it for the time being, but since the people he sent out had already sent the letter back, there was solid evidence for the matter.

Li Yuanqiao and Zhu Anhe read the contents of the letter and their eyes widened in shock.

Gu Xingyan asked Mo Lin: "Where are they?"

Mo Lin hurriedly replied: "My Lord, the letter was sent back by carrier pigeon. They set out three days ago. They also brought a group of witnesses with them, so they didn't leave that quickly."

"But don't worry, Master. It will take about twenty days at most for the people to arrive."

Gu Xingyan said in a cold voice: "Tell them to speed up. I will give them half a month at most. After half a month, I will meet them in Shengjing City."

"Yes."

Mo Lin ran out of the house.

Gu Xingyan saw that everyone present had a very ugly expression on their face.

It seems that half a month is too long for Morin to notify them.

He stood up and said, "Uncle, Aunt, please don't get angry. I'll go to Xixiang City myself and come back after I figure out what's going on."

Li Shuangwan looked up at him. He had to go to Xixiang City at full speed and find out the whole story. It would take at least ten days to make a round trip.

"Xing Yan, you are an envoy from Daliang, you cannot leave Shengjing easily."

Gu Xingyan reached out and stroked the girl's head: "Let Mo Lin disguise himself as me and let him come to your place every day. No one will notice."

Li Shuangwan hurriedly said: "Why don't I go with you?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "I can go alone, you stay here with your uncle and aunt."

Li Shuangwan thought about it and nodded.

Li Huaiying's face was completely dark at this moment: "Your Highness, please help me with this matter."

"It's what I should do." After saying that, he glanced at Li Shuangwan.
