"Miss Li, don't worry. We are all righteous people and will absolutely not allow your wicked stepmother's evil scheme to succeed. Young Master Sun will take care of this for you!"

"Hey you..." Before Sun Qi could even argue, He Shitou covered her mouth.

"Brother Sun, can you bear to see Miss Li suffer injustice? Can you bear to see this world so unfair?" He Shitou asked in quick succession, not giving Sun Qi a chance to speak at all.

It's as if he'd become a sinner for all time if he didn't help.

Left with no other choice, Sun Qi was forced to agree to the terms.

It just so happens that the family's carriage is going to the city tomorrow, so he can take the opportunity to find out what's going on in the city.

Li Qianqian had been away from home for several days and missed her father very much. Reluctantly, they had to let Li Qianqian go with them to see if they could have a chance to go home and visit.

So the next day, Tao Shi, He Tiantian, Miss Li, and Sun Qi were in He Tiantian's carriage.

Miss Li disguised herself specially, wearing a veil and a hat. Now that everyone is bundled up in winter, it won't arouse suspicion.

Sun Qi specially changed into the same clothes he had worn when he arrived, transforming himself into a handsome young man once again.

However, he found it too cold and refused to ride his prized horse, insisting on squeezing into a carriage with a group of women.

Outside, He Shitou and Zhao Xiangbei were rushing to catch the train. Although they were facing the wind and snow, they could at least chat together to relieve their boredom.

Because the snow made the roads difficult to travel, it was almost noon by the time we reached the city.

The journey took more than two hours, and the passengers' bottoms were practically shaking off the wheels.

Upon reaching the city gate, everyone split into two groups.

He Tiantian went shopping with Tao Shi and Zhao Xiangbei, while He Shitou, Sun Qi, and Li Qianqian went to the Li residence to inquire about the situation.

Sun Qi also needed to return to the Sun residence to inquire about the aftermath of his father's wedding.

The two groups said goodbye to each other and gave each other several words of advice.

This was the first time He Shitou had done something like this, and he seemed very mysterious.

They looked around curiously as they walked down the street.

Young Master Sun couldn't help but call out to him, "Hey, Brother He, can you be normal for once? You're acting like this in broad daylight, be careful someone doesn't mistake you for a thief."

He Shitou chuckled twice and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Hehe, I just have something to hide."

Sun Qi rolled her eyes, and Li Qianqian followed nervously behind.

The three of them first arrived at the Sun residence, where He Shitou and Li Qianqian waited at a teahouse outside the residence.

The private room where the two were located was on the second floor of the teahouse, and the main gate of the Sun residence could be seen from the window.

From even higher up, you can see the servants sweeping and cleaning inside the Sun family compound.

It was He Shitou's first time in such a grand place. He happily sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

Li Qianqian, on the other hand, was quite nervous, standing by the window looking in the direction of the Sun residence.

He Shitou took a sip of the liquor and was immediately stunned.

"Wow, the tea here is definitely different from the tea at the roadside stalls."
