Gu Xin scratched her forehead sheepishly: "I, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was just worried about Brother Yuanyuan."
Cai Lian glared at her irritably and beckoned her to come over and sit down next to her.
After Gu Xin sat down, she said with a serious expression, "Father, Mother, Brother Yuanyuan, I just feel that Li Shan is suspicious, but I don't know what's wrong with her. Sister Li Yue and Sister Li Han are fine. The first time Sisi and I went, I felt that Li Shan deliberately made us fall! Although she didn't succeed in the end and hurt herself. The second time, she wouldn't let me go to Mother, and I was really worried. Later, didn't Madam Li lead people to arrest Father and Aunt Luo? If Li Muyan and Mother weren't in that room, wouldn't that mean she succeeded? Li Muyan was the one who accidentally let it slip, how could that be? Anyway, no matter what bad things my parents do to harm someone, I would never accidentally let it slip to the person they're harming. She definitely did it on purpose!"
Gu Shouxin and Cai Lian: Thank you for keeping this a secret!
Lu Zheng thought Gu Xin's reasoning was sound, but he just couldn't understand how Li Shan, a local girl who didn't even know him, would know his true identity.
Gu Shouxin also felt that Gu Xin was right, but he had thought of the same thing as Lu Zheng.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Xin looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, did you offend Li Shan? Or is Li Shan's maternal grandparents related to your stepmother's side, and you don't remember when you met her?"
Something seemed to flash through Lu Zheng's mind.
Cai Lian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "A Yuan, do you think Li Shan and Xin Xin look alike?"
Lu Zheng shook his head: "I can't even remember what she looks like!"
Cai Lian's question suddenly gave him a direction.
He can be reborn, and so can others; perhaps Li Shan was reborn as well.
The last time he and Xue Qianyu left the Li family, he felt a gaze following him, and he was sure it wasn't Li Muyan.
He recalled his past life and realized that there was no such person as Li Shan, and that his stepmother had no connection with Qingzhou.
Now that he had found the Li family, he naturally went through all the information about them and concluded that they were definitely not related.
Gu Xin answered Cai Lian's question, saying, "Mother, Sisi, Li Shan's dimples when she smiles look like mine, but she's not as pretty as me."
Lu Zheng glanced at Gu Xin, noticing her dimples.
Xin Xin's dimples are especially beautiful. In her past life, someone with dimples like Xin Xin's was a gift from the emperor. She was the emperor's personal maid, serving him for many years, and was just short of becoming an empress.
What did that woman look like? What was her name again?
He only remembered that dimple.
But why did Aunt Lian suddenly ask that question?
Lu Zheng snapped out of his daze: "Thank you for the reminder, Xin Xin. I'll have someone keep an eye on Li Shan in a bit. We'll know for sure if it's her once she makes another move."
Gu Xin rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng: "Brother Yuanyuan, don't thank me. You stabbed yourself to save me, and I didn't even thank you. Have you forgotten what I said? Everyone who bullies Brother Yuanyuan deserves to die! When Dad goes to the capital for the exam, and you go to the battlefield, Brother Yuanyuan, I'll help you bully your stepmother, stepsister, and stepsiblings in the capital. Then, when you've achieved fame and success, riding a tall horse, wearing full armor, you'll come back and give them the final blow! Yay!"
Lu Zheng smiled: "Okay!"
Gu Shouxin was unhappy and jealous. Chouzi secretly pretended to be pitiful for Xinxin.
He asked sullenly, "What if I bully your brother Yuanyuan?"
Gu Xin: "Hmm?...Oh dear, Dad, you're here again! How could you possibly bully Brother Yuanyuan! You like him so much! Sister just ran out because you think Brother Yuanyuan is so nice! Sister is unhappy that you like Brother Yuanyuan so much! How could you bully him?"
Cai Lian laughed. That reaction time was incredible!
