On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.
A few days ago, Lu Qiqi finally managed to release all the yaks, fat sheep, and gray rabbits that had been left in the tiger's mouth from her spatial storage.
Now that's great, the whole family is excited about it, and most of them have returned to the veterans' village to herd cattle and sheep.
Xi Bao, in particular, was rolling around on the ground with boundless joy.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Xibao returned home, she secretly took out a hibernating snake from her pocket, which almost scared Li Shi into fainting.
The next day, Li dragged Xibao back to the house.
Fearing being implicated, Lu Qiqi took Lu Yao back to the house as well.
"Ah Yao, the sun is shining brightly. Let Nineteen help us move two deck chairs to the yard so we can sunbathe and get some calcium."
Lu Qiqi had just finished lunch. She had been sleeping very well for the past two days, which made it impossible for her to take a nap these past two days.
She called out to Lu Yao, who was squatting in the corner playing with ants with Xi Bao.
Upon hearing her sister's voice, Lu Yao seemed to instantly switch to a radar, standing up and loudly replying, "Okay."
When Xi Bao saw Lu Yao walk away, she quickly chased after her.
For a moment, only Lu Qiqi remained in the courtyard.
Nineteen moved quickly, arranging four deck chairs in a row in the yard.
As Lu Yao lay down to sunbathe, she remembered her sister's words and turned her head to ask, "Sister, what did you mean by sunbathing to supplement calcium? What does it mean to supplement calcium?"
Lu Qiqi was surprised that Lu Yao hadn't changed her curious nature after all this time, and vaguely said, "It just means that getting more sun will make you grow taller."
Upon hearing this, the three children lying on the chairs all looked on with understanding after hearing Lu Qiqi's words.
Especially for Xiao Xibao, she even plans to sunbathe every day from now on, and maybe sunbathing under the moon will also help, and she can even see the stars.
Of course, she also took action, staying up late at night to hold two wolf cubs and howl like a wolf, which terrified Lu Dahai and Li Shi. Li Shi chased after her all night.
Seeing that her movements at night were not going smoothly, she changed her strategy and sunbathed herself until she was as dark as a little coal ball. When Li showed her the mirror, she cried for three days in a row.
It made everyone laugh.
Of course, that's all in the future, since it all happened after Lu Qiqi went to the new capital.
At that time, the four of them were lying on deck chairs, leisurely sunbathing.
While they were sunbathing, Lu Qiqi gave each of the three girls a handkerchief to cover their eyes, so as to prevent the strong light from hurting their eyes and to provide physical sun protection.
About an hour later, Lu Qiqi felt drowsy from the sun and got up first.
Turning my head, I saw that the three deck chairs next to me were empty; the three people had long since disappeared, clearly unable to bear the boredom of sunbathing.
Just as she was about to go back to her room, she heard Xi Bao's voice.
"Sister Qiqi, Sister Qiqi, come quick! Someone's trying to take you away!"
Xi Bao's words successfully stopped Lu Qiqi.
She just didn't understand what it meant for someone to want to take her away.
However, once she led Xibao into the hall, she understood everything.
The visitor claimed to be the steward of the Marquis of Lin'an's residence, and was accompanied by Manager Yang of Tongfu Pawnshop.
"So alike! It's so incredibly alike!"
Manager Chen looked at Lu Qiqi and couldn't help but say.
After the two explained, Lu Qiqi learned that it was because the emperor had personally bestowed upon her the title of Princess of Kangle County in court, which had aroused dissatisfaction among the civil officials.
This caught the attention of the heir apparent, who was also her maternal uncle.
Through Zeng Shi, Lu Qiqi already knew everything about her mother Chen Shi's identity.
She remained remarkably calm despite Manager Chen's tearful state, showing no surprise whatsoever.
This, on the contrary, made Manager Chen feel a deep respect for Lu Qiqi, and he was surprised that Lu Qiqi had such composure at such a young age.
Fearing his credit would be stolen, Manager Yang stepped forward and said, "Miss, the Shu brocade with the painting of a lady you're looking for is currently in your maternal grandfather's residence. We've been searching for you for a whole year!"
As he spoke, Manager Yang's voice became somewhat hoarse, "Fortunately, Miss's spirit in heaven has found you and your sister."
Lu Qiqi understood everything that had just been said; it was simply that Tongfu Pawnshop was a property of the Marquis of Lin'an.
But when did she suddenly have an older sister?
"Wait a minute," Lu Qiqi interrupted Manager Yang, "what's this 'sister' you're talking about?"
This surprised Manager Yang, who turned around and glanced at Steward Chen.
Manager Chen also sensed something was amiss, so he stared at Lu Qiqi's face and tentatively asked, "Naturally, it's Miss Changping, your own sister."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that someone was impersonating a phoenix, putting on a whole act of imposter.
The Lu family, the Li family, and Lu Dahai were all present. When they heard Lu Changping's name, they all showed anger on their faces.
Especially Madam Lu, who stood up indignantly and said, "Lu Changping is Lu Dazhuang's daughter, how could she be Qiqi's sister?"
"Qiqi doesn't have a murderous older sister; she only has a younger sister. How could your Lin'an Marquis's mansion mistake someone else for someone else?"
This statement was, unsurprisingly, a bombshell, like a thunderbolt thrown into a river, causing a huge splash.
Manager Chen and Shopkeeper Yang were also taken aback. They never expected that the young lady whom the Marquis of Lin'an had been searching for for a year was actually an imposter!
And he's a murderer!
The murder caused quite a stir in Luzhou Prefecture, but with so many refugees at the time, such incidents were frequent, and it was impossible to apprehend the murderers one by one.
Lu Qiqi, thinking of Lu Changping, not only took her identity but also lied to the Marquis of Lin'an, telling him that she had died on the way to escape famine, in order to prevent her from being discovered.
The thought of Lu Changping killing the original owner and causing so much trouble filled her with rage.
After a moment, she took a breath and said, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Eldest Aunt."
I'm taking Ayao ahead of schedule to the new capital to expose Lu Changping's facade.
She wanted to personally bring Lu Changping down, avenge the original owner of the body, and find out what exactly happened to Chen on the way to the wedding!
Why is it that Ms. Chen has a home but cannot return to it?
