In fact, she had wanted to ask Chu Li about this for a long time, but Chu Xuanche had been there recently and got along well with her, so she didn't know how to bring it up, so she had never asked.

She had been waiting, waiting for Chu Xuanche to receive a secret mission and leave.

Even if Chu Li sent a letter, she planned to go to see him in the next two days.

"Caiyu, I have to go out for a while."

Caiyu asked worriedly, "Is this... okay?"

"It's nothing, this is a good thing. Caiyu, I'll tell you when everything is settled."

The little girl is simple-minded and the secrets in her heart can be easily seen through.

So Ruan Xinchen told her.

She changed into riding clothes, got a horse from the stable, and quickly headed for Chengchu Li's manor.

It was the same servant who took over her leash, and it was the same maid who waited at the door. When she saw her, she took her into the inner room.

Inside the house, Chu Li was still sitting in the wheelchair, looking like a disabled person.

Ruan Xinchen guessed right, his leg was only injured for a day, and it's been more than a day, and he's still in a wheelchair?

He is just pretending, pretending to be disabled.

The throne may be handed over to a disabled person, and only when he is disabled will the artillery fire hit him.

This way, he can save a lot of trouble.

Next to Chu Li stood a middle-aged man.

Judging from his attire, he is a businessman.

Ruan Xinchen's eyes fell on the middle-aged man.

"He is the one who saved Cui Er that year."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Miss, my name is Liu An. May I ask if your name is Ruan Xinchen? The second young lady of the Ruan family, your biological mother is Madam Ruan's sister, Cui Ming."

Ruan Xinchen nodded repeatedly, "I am Ruan Xinchen, Uncle Liu, where is Aunt Cui? Is she okay these years?"

Liu An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Aunt Cui you are talking about should be my wife. When I came to the capital to discuss a deal, the other party slandered me for selling inferior goods as good ones and taking things without paying the money. I was still young that year and knew all the tricks in the business world. I thought the other party was right and I had to go to them to argue. But I thought that they beat me up and threw me into a mass grave with only one breath left.

It was there that I met Cui'er. Like me, she was beaten with a stick and died. We were lucky. It rained heavily that night and the cold water woke us up. We spent a night together to get out of the mass grave and settled down in a nearby farmer's house.

The farmer was an old couple, and they were very kind. After accepting my jade pendant, they hired a doctor and bought medicine for us. After my injuries healed, we sold all the valuable things we had and headed south together. It was a tough journey..."

At this point, he paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Having said all this, in the end she survived. After returning to my home, I told my family about what happened in the capital, and they helped me get back at my expense. Later, I married Cui'er.

Originally she kept silent about her past, but after she gave birth to our first child, I had to go to the capital again. The night before I left, she told me her identity. It turned out that she was a maid in a wealthy family. She was framed, and the master beat her with a stick and threw her into a mass grave, which is how she met me. "

Ruan Xinchen was horrified when she heard him talk about his past with Cui'er.

It's also lucky. Both of them are lucky.

Cui Yun must have intended to kill Cui'er. He might have thought that he had beaten her to death, so he had her abandoned.

But unexpectedly, a cold rain woke her up, and she met Liu An again, so she was lucky enough to survive.

"Cui'er has been thinking about you all these years. She told me about her life story so that I could help her find out about you. She said you were the child of your old master, and that the master had died, so she was worried about your well-being."

"Ask about me?"

Liu An nodded and said, "She is most relieved about you. When she came to the capital last year, she heard that you were married. I said you married to Prince Gong's Mansion, and she didn't believe it. She said she believed that Madam Ruan would marry you into such a good family, and asked me to find out what traps there are in Prince Gong's Mansion, and to find out if you are living well. Well, it's just after the New Year, and I hurried here."

Ruan Xinchen was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I'm doing well. The prince of Prince Gong's Mansion treats me very well."

Hearing her say this, Liu An felt relieved.

Chu Li, who was in a wheelchair, looked extremely unhappy.

Ruan Xinchen added: "Mrs. Ruan was kind enough to marry me to Prince Gong's mansion. Some of the reasons will be explained at once."

Liu An nodded, "As long as the young lady is doing well, Cui Er will be relieved."

Ruan Xinchen hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Uncle Liu, has Aunt Cui ever told you about my mother?"

Liu An shook his head, "No, she said your mother had died and was worried that you would be bullied. Later, she found out that you were taken away by the old lady in the mansion to be raised by her personally, and then she was relieved."

It turns out she didn't tell him.

That's right. It sounds like the Liu family is just an ordinary merchant. It's a fight between the people and the officials. What's more, the Ruan family is powerful. How can they win?

Her mother and brother were brutally murdered, and now she has the ability to avenge them.

She needs Cui'er's permit to come to the capital.

This will inevitably disrupt her peaceful life.

How can I tell Liu Si about this?

Ruan Xinchen thought that Cui'er and Liu Si had never appeared in her life. Maybe Liu Si heard that she was sent to Prince Zhan's Mansion for a surprise, but in the eyes of others, she and Chu Li had a very good relationship.

She wanted to disrupt the happy life, so she didn't show up, right?

Ruan Xinchen was hesitating here, trying to decide how to start the conversation.

Chu Li, who was in a wheelchair, had already made the decision for her.

"Liu An, Cui'er's master, the biological mother of this young lady, died in a strange way. They pinned the crime of murder on Cui'er, so Cui'er was beaten with a stick and buried in a mess. Do you think it was Cui'er who did it?"

Liu An's face changed drastically when he heard this. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's possible. Cui'er is kind-hearted and misses her old master very much. She has always been thinking about the young lady. She may have done something murderous. If so, she would also ask me to inquire about the young lady every time I go to the capital."

After saying that, Liu An turned to Ruan Xinchen and said, "Miss, you must not listen to nonsense."

Ruan Xinchen looked at Chu Li and glared at him.

Then he hurriedly comforted Liu An, who was frightened and pale.

"Uncle Liu, I believe Aunt Cui. Our enemies are too powerful. You can tell me, I know. But that was in the past. Now I have the ability to avenge my mother and brother, but I need witnesses. I know Aunt Cui can come to the capital and explain what happened clearly."

Liu An was stunned for a moment, then retracted his gaze and hesitated for a while before saying, "I have to discuss it with her."
