Officer Feng asked happily, "Does Madam Ye have anyone she suspects?"

Ye Caiping nodded: "Gu Han, from Lijia Village."

If it's Gu Han, then that's the right one!

According to the trajectory of his previous life, at this time, Gu Han, with the help of the Duchess, had already arrived in the capital with Li Jiaojiao.

Although the Duke of Pingguo's mansion was no longer as glorious as it once was after the old Duke's death, it still retained its prestige and influence.

They did manage to protect Gu Han and Li Jiaojiao.

Later, through Li Jiaojiao's X-ray vision, they uncovered evidence that her stepmother had framed Gu Han. With the help of the Duchess of Pingguo, they were quickly exonerated and regained the position of heir apparent.

From then on, his life took off. With the help of Li Jiaojiao and various influential people, he rose to the position of regent in just two years.

In this life, he is not only lame, but also a servant in the Li family, unable to even reach the outskirts of the capital.

I wonder if, as the male lead, he will feel the same anxiety as Li Jiaojiao, deeply experiencing the power of the plot and being unable to change it.

However, whether he can feel it or not, at least in his previous life he was the master of the Li family, but in this life he is a servant. No one would be able to stay there, so it is understandable that he wants to seize the opportunity.

Officer Feng asked excitedly, "Does that Gu Han have any conflicts with your family?"

"I guess so. It's definitely right to investigate him first."

"Alright. Brothers, follow me to Li Family Village!"

...

The Li family —

Granny Li was standing in the courtyard, cursing and swearing: "That cripple is hiding somewhere, slacking off. He doesn't wash his clothes, doesn't sweep the floor, and even his two old sows are squealing with hunger! It's almost noon now, and he still hasn't gotten back to cook. He's really gone too far!"

Li Zhiyuan and Li Ziming were both on leave this time, and were sitting in the main room with long faces.

Li Jiaojiao's eyes were gloomy as she hid in her room, clutching a letter tightly in her hand.

She found this on the floor when she woke up; it looked like it had been slipped in through the crack in the door.

"What are you arguing about, scholar's wife?" At this moment, an aunt stood at the door and peeked inside.

"Are you looking for that cripple? Last night, my outhouse was full, and my son went to the field to relieve himself. I saw a figure in the distance, who looked like he was carrying a bundle and was limping towards the town."

Granny Li exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Li Zhiyuan walked out of the main room with a grim face: "That cripple got away?"

Seeing their frightening expressions, the auntie became scared and turned to leave.

Silence. The entire courtyard was eerily quiet.

Finally, Granny Li burst into tears: "That ungrateful wretch has run away! Now... who will do the housework?"

Li Zhiyuan and Zhang Shuiniang, mother and son, also lost their tempers. The family had finally managed to settle down. Now that the person had run away, who would do the work?

Granny Li preemptively said, "Alright, alright, Li Jiaojiao, this is the person you picked up! You haven't paid back the money for his meals yet, so you'll be doing the housework from now on!"

Li Jiaojiao smiled coldly. She wouldn't suffer this loss! Nor would she expect her mother and brother to suffer it!

She rushed out suddenly and threw the letter in her hand at Granny Li's face:

"Gu Han ran away! But he left me a letter. In it, he said he was going to do something big and take back everything. Once he succeeds, he'll bring me home in grand style, like an eight-person sedan chair, to be his young mistress!"

That's exactly what the letter said.

What's wrong with you?

Li Jiaojiao and Granny Li were arguing, but Li Zhiyuan picked up the letter. Li Ziming and Zhang Shuiniang also came over to read the contents of the letter together.

"Shut up!" Li Zhiyuan finally shouted, stopping them.

Li Jiaojiao: "Dad, you've seen this letter too, haven't you?"

Granny Li: "I'll spit on you, you shameless wretch! What future can a cripple like you have? And you're going to marry me? You shameless slut!"

Li Jiaojiao looked at Li Zhiyuan and said, "Dad, I'll just ask you one question: do you think Gu Han is like an ordinary person? His appearance, his demeanor! And his handwriting, do you think a beggar could have that?"

Li Zhiyuan had long felt that Gu Han was a little different, but he was afraid that he was wrong. In addition, someone did need to do the work at home, so he ignored Gu Han's difference.

Now that I've seen this letter, I'm starting to have some doubts.

After thinking it over, he realized that someone had to do the chores around the house. He naturally couldn't let Zhang Shui Niang suffer, so he could only let Li Po Zi suffer. This letter was meant to keep Li Po Zi in check.

He roared, "Mother, stop making a scene! Stop calling him a cripple! I knew he wasn't an ordinary person; he's off doing something big!"

Granny Li frowned: "Really?"

“How could I, a scholar, misjudge someone? In a few months, he will return in glory and marry Jiaojiao to become a young mistress. Then we will all enjoy the good life together.”

Granny Li immediately perked up.

Li Zhiyuan continued, "Jiaojiao is about to become a young mistress, so she can't do heavy work. Shui Niang is weak, so she can't do it either. Zi Mo still has to study with me. So, for the time being, please bear with the hardship of doing chores, Mother."

Granny Li's face changed immediately: "What? But..."

Li Zhiyuan's face darkened: "Mother, don't you want to enjoy life anymore? You'll have to suffer for a while now. Once Gu Han comes back, we'll buy some servants to take care of you. If you make a fuss now, once Jiaojiao gets married, we won't pay any more attention to you."

Granny Li was skeptical; it sounded nice, but who knew if it was true?

Li Jiaojiao put her hands on her hips and said, "Grandma, it's all true! Gu Han has gone off to do something big. When he comes back, we'll be able to live a good life. Otherwise, why would he leave me a letter when he's already run away, right?"

Granny Li was taken aback.

Even Li Zhiyuan, Li Ziming, and Zhang Shuiniang were stunned. Yes, he hadn't sold himself to them. He ran away, so there was no need for him to leave a letter.

He left a letter, proving that he really went off to do something important!

Thinking about it, the Li family members felt a surge of heat in their hearts. If that were really the case, then the immense wealth and honor would be theirs to enjoy!

"Is Li Zhiyuan here?" A deep voice rang out at that moment.

Li Zhiyuan and his entourage were startled. Turning around, they saw a group of constables walking in.
