Chu Shangli also knew that it was a bit strange to think this way, but she always felt that this was someone she once knew and was very familiar with -
No, perhaps this line of thinking is truly reasonable - if Bai Xiaoqian's parents were ordinary people, they would never have access to the empire's core technology -
The friendship between Bai Xiaoqian and Chu Moyin didn't seem like a day-to-day relationship—it seemed more like they had known each other for a long time.
However, Wei Shengfan should not know about this, otherwise he would probably have used it to slander Chu Moyin in his previous life.
In other words - the Cheshire Cat, Bai Xiaoqian and Chu Moyin belong to another force in the empire that he is not aware of, but he has met people from this force when he was young?
Even the name seemed so familiar to her——
Although Chu Shangli thought of some other things about the name "Jin", she quickly rejected them.
If he is such a big shot, how can he still be so leisurely?
Although Chu Shangli denied that Bai Xiaoqian's parents were important figures, he also didn't think they were the missing person.
If the figure that really appeared in his mind was indeed, would Ouyang Huanshi really target Qiu Feishuang, who was on good terms with Bai Xiaoqian? Even her father would definitely not allow such a thing—
Besides, Chu Shangli didn't think that Bai Xiaoqian would kill someone personally in her previous life - if her father was that important figure, in fact, Bai Xiaoqian only needed to ask her father -
Chu Shangli did not feel that Bai Xiaoqian had a bad relationship with her father. Instead, he could feel that Bai Xiaoqian's father treated Bai Xiaoqian as a daughter slave.
In order to dispel his own confusion, Chu Shangli slowly spoke: "Jin, could it be the word 'Jin' with the character 'Yan' on the side?"
"What's the difference between the character "言" (meaning "word") and the character "王" (meaning "king")?" Bai Xiaoqian's father said in a nonchalant tone.
"Well - if I must tell you the difference -" Chu Shangli pondered for a moment and smiled, "I just suddenly thought of the deceased heir of the Zishu family - the younger brother of the current son-in-law of the Ouyang family. He seemed to be named Zishujin - with the character 'Jin' on the side of the character 'Yan'."
“…” Bai Xiaoqian’s eyelids twitched unnaturally.
"Hmm? Really?" Bai Xiaoqian's father smiled softly after instructing Tan Xing to put the cake batter patterns scraped out with the mold into the oven. "But I can't say it's just too coincidental—after all, this name is very common."
"Is it common?" Chu Shangli's eyelashes flickered: "I think this is the second time I've heard this name——"
"Maybe you could look through the school's roster, or check the imperial household register—this should have been a very popular name at a certain time. There was that kind of thing—in a certain era, everyone's name was like 'Ruo', 'Xin', 'Nai'—" Bai Xiaoqian's father muttered to himself, "But names with 'Li' in them don't seem to be common—perhaps because it's not very auspicious for a name—"
“…”
Chu Shangli was secretly shocked - although there was no reason.
Here, I am Luo Dongxia, and I didn't suddenly mention the issue of Chu Shangli -
Why did you suddenly mention the word "leave"?
"Compared to that, the name Luo Dongxia sounds much better." Bai Xiaoqian's father smiled slightly.
“…”
Chu Shangli really hoped that he was overthinking it, but these words made him think too much.
Fortunately, Chu Shangli was able to maintain a minimally calm expression, otherwise he would have been exposed -
