The couple and their children were sitting in the main room. After listening for a while, Cai Lian understood what the father and daughter were arguing about.
Cai Lian couldn't help but frown. To be honest, she really thought Madam Li was a good person. She was always happy to be friends with her and had a very pleasant working relationship with her.
But the trouble that Madam Li's parents had caused made her feel sorry for her good friend.
After listening, Cai Lian looked at Gu Nian and asked, "Do you still want to get married now?"
Gu Nian shook her head and said, "I'm just being stubborn. I'm not that desperate to get married. Sigh, my love life is so bumpy! It's really hard on my heart."
She was indeed acting out of spite. She had finally developed feelings for Li Muyan, but Gu Ren said she couldn't marry him, and her father even brought up Lu Zheng as an example. She just couldn't stand it.
Lu Zheng is the younger sister's husband, so why do we have to compare the husbands of the two sisters?
She never had a daughter in her past life, and Gu Shouxin never raised a child either, and that's why things have turned out like this.
If Cai Lian were here, Gu Nian probably wouldn't be this rebellious.
This is what children do during adolescence. It's a pity that neither Cai Lian nor Gu Shouxin had ever raised a child. Once they had a child, they immediately faced a rebellious phase.
Lu Zheng suddenly interjected, "Originally, I always thought that Nian Nian and Li Muyan would eventually end up together. But this morning, my people and I found out some things, and after I finished, I rushed over to tell my second uncle, hoping he could advise them to observe the situation a bit more before discussing marriage."
Gu Shouxin looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng continued, "It's about the poisoning incident at the Li residence, Huihui and the other two. Didn't it turn out to be the work of a servant left behind by Madam Li? That servant was dealt with by Madam Li. My men discovered a couple of days ago that Li Muyan's friend, Zhu Mingsheng, was being harassed and threatened, with someone trying to kill him to silence him. My men rescued him. After questioning, they found out that the poison wasn't administered by that servant for Madam Li's sake at all. That servant was seriously ill; the doctor said she wouldn't live much longer, and she wanted to take advantage of the situation to make money. The poison was given to her by Zhu Mingsheng. So, do you think Li Muyan is involved in this?"
Gu En clenched his fist: "I knew it, he's a scoundrel! Ever since he impersonated that glove! Brother Yuan, you're amazing! How did you manage to trace it back to that Zhu guy? I knew this wasn't going to be simple! How could you poison someone and then use two different kinds of poison, treating them differently? Isn't that crazy?"
Gu En looked at Lu Zheng with eyes full of admiration.
Gu Xin frowned: "Why has Brother Muyan become like this? He wasn't like this before!"
For a moment, no one in the room spoke.
Cai Lian sighed, "Oh! Niannian, why, why have you had such a difficult life?"
Gu Nian pursed her lips: "Father, Mother, please don't seek justice for me. I'll handle this myself."
Gu Xin held Gu Nian's hand: "Sister, let me help you!"
Gu Nian remained silent.
She was a little sad and felt that things were unfair. She complained that the original owner of this body had a bad luck with romance, but it turned out that she had the same problem.
She brought this upon herself, and now she can't even find an excuse to curse the author, Gu Erdan.
She simply refused to believe that the poisoning was related to Li Muyan; perhaps it was Zhu Mingsheng who acted on his own initiative!
Seeing Gu Nian's depressed state, Cai Lian felt sorry for her and told everyone to go and rest, as it was getting late after all the commotion.
After the children had all gone to sleep, Lu Zheng and Gu Shouxin got up. Gu Shouxin shared everything with Cai Lian, so Cai Lian was also there.
Besides discovering that Zhu Mingsheng was involved in the poisoning, Lu Zheng's people also found out that the news that he was alive was indeed released by the Li family. Moreover, because of Zhu Mingsheng, the clues led to the two daughters of the eldest branch of the Li family who lived alone.
Just then, Gu Xin ran in: "Could it be Li Shan?"
The three of them looked at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin: "!"
Oh no, I got too excited and accidentally exposed myself.
