Li Nian was also very shocked after hearing what Xiao Yunchen said.
She turned to look at the man beside her: "Did Wen Luoxin really marry Qi He?"
When Xiao Yunyu thought of Wen Luoxin, he felt a little angry.
"She was doomed! The Dali Temple had already convicted her, but I didn't expect that idiot Qi He to show up and take her home, even risking his own life to protect her."
He looked at Li Nian with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "At that time, I only wanted to kill her to avenge my wife, but unfortunately Qi He had military merits, and he wanted to protect her. Even the emperor had to give him some face. My second brother and I took this opportunity to let Qi He marry Wen Luoxin."
Li Sisi listened to Xiao Yunyu's explanation with her bright eyes wide open in shock.
She looked at Li Nian, and the two best friends exchanged glances.
The male protagonist and his male co-star conspired to marry the female protagonist to someone else? Could this plot be any more outrageous?
Li Nian looked up at the man next to him. Does this male protagonist really not like the female protagonist at all?
She looked at Xiao Yunchen again. "What a lovelorn second male lead!" How come he doesn't like the female lead anymore?
Xiao Yunchen's expression softened a bit. He looked at Li Sisi steadily and asked calmly, "Is Sisi the chief clerk now?"
Hearing this, Li Sisi raised her chin: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yunchen smiled gently and continued, "That's great. You just said you would help me investigate the prefect?"
Li Sisi blinked, a little bewildered, but still nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I work in the government office, so of course I have to cooperate with you, the inspector, to investigate official affairs."
Xiao Yunchen waved his clothes lightly like flowing clouds. His slightly sickly and pale face did not show a trace of gloom, but instead made people feel that his face was gentle.
He looked at Li Sisi and said softly, "If that's the case, let's go."
Li Sisi asked doubtfully, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Yunchen faced her, a gentle smile on his lips like a spring breeze. "I'm going back to the government office to handle official business. From what Sisi said, I think she knows something about the prefect, or perhaps she has evidence of his guilt. We should hurry up to avoid any more trouble."
"After I went to the government office today, the prefect will definitely try his best to destroy the evidence. We have to be in the government office in person to intimidate the prefect and make him dare not act rashly." As he spoke, Xiao Yunchen had already led Li Sisi out.
As he walked, he continued, "I'm new here, and I'm not as familiar with many things as Sisi. I'll need your care in the government office from now on."
Li Sisi listened to his official words and was a little confused for a moment.
What she imagined was that if Xiao Yunchen knew that she had faked her death to deceive him, he would definitely be angry, would definitely question her, or even cry out of grievance?
That’s the result?
"Don't worry, as long as I can help, I will do my best to help you."
As Li Sisi spoke, she glanced at Xiao Yunchen out of the corner of her eye.
Noticing that he was glancing at her sideways, she gave her a beautiful, clean smile, her tone trusting and relying on him: "Thank you very much, Sisi. With your help, I will definitely be able to bring the corrupt officials to justice sooner."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure."
The warm midday sun shines on the two people walking side by side in the street, and the shadows on the ground are paired.
When passing by the gate of Pei's house, Pei Yanli happened to come out.
"Brother Xiao, Sisi, are you planning to go to the government office?"
Xiao Yunchen stopped, looked at him sideways, and asked, "Brother Pei, do you want to come too?"
Pei Yanli heard this and silently observed the two of them with his cold eyes. He replied, "Of course we have to go together. Brother Xiao's horse is still in my yard."
He looked at Li Sisi again and said, "Sisi, you haven't had lunch yet. My mother left some rice in the pot to warm it up for you. Go to the kitchen and eat some. I've fed your horse some grass. After you've eaten, you can ride to the government office. There's no rush."
Li Sisi listened to his arrangements and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you and Xiao Yunchen go first." After that, she turned and walked into the Pei family.
Xiao Yunchen watched the interaction between the two, his slightly drooping eyelashes hiding the darkness in his eyes.
After getting on the horse, he and Pei Yanli walked out of the street one after the other.
When he arrived at the government office, Ru Liu was already waiting in the study and reported to him everything he had found out that day.
Xiao Yunchen listened silently, no emotion visible on his cold and handsome face.
Only when he finished his report did he suddenly say, "Chen Fu is not dead."
Ru Liu looked up in shock, stammering, "How, how is this possible!"
Xiao Yunchen looked at his incredulous expression and ordered in a deep voice, "Her name is now Li Sisi, and she works as a clerk in the government office. Go and investigate carefully who she has come into contact with since arriving here, and what her relationships are with them. Investigate every detail."
Ru Liu was so shocked that her mouth opened and she nodded in panic.
