Li Mansion.
Chen Siyuan arrived at the Li residence in a carriage.
She's like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden now.
Having visited the palace several times, Chen Siyuan felt that the Li residence was comparable to the palace.
They got off the carriage at the gate and walked for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but still hadn't seen anyone.
All I saw were neatly dressed maids and guards passing by.
Ha ha--
If someone hadn't brought her here, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have believed that Huzhou actually had a place comparable to the imperial palace.
This trip to Huzhou has truly broadened my horizons.
As the head housekeeper of the Li family walked along, she asked, "How did Young Master Chen come to know my eldest son?"
Chen Siyuan smiled inwardly; it was indeed no simple matter that she had come to the Li residence.
Thinking of the expression on the art gallery owner's face, and the expression on the disfigured woman's face, she knew that this Li family was not simple.
After the person left yesterday, Yang Lei immediately investigated that person and learned the general outline of the situation.
Li Mansion.
The Li family is incredibly wealthy in Huzhou, and it's fair to say that almost all of Huzhou's enormous business opportunities are controlled by them.
She had witnessed the prosperity of Huzhou; how could it have fallen into the hands of the Li family?
That's clearly unlikely.
The so-called "wealthy and powerful" is just an appearance that others see.
Only Li Huarong, the head of the Li family, knows how many people are behind this.
Li Huarong has two sons, the eldest son Li Yitang and the second son Li Yiyi. Li Yitang is the father of Li Ming, the eldest grandson of the Li family whom she stabbed last night. Unfortunately, Li Ming's parents were killed by bandits in Fuzhou a few years ago. Li Huarong, who originally planned to hand over the Li family to Li Yitang, once again took up the family.
When Chen Siyuan first received the news, she found it strange.
Since he intended to hand it over, his second son, Li Yiyi, was also a person with his own opinions. Why did he not become depressed after losing his eldest son, but instead hold on tightly to the Li family?
Several years have passed, and Li Huarong has been struggling to support the entire Li family.
This made Chen Siyuan even more confused. Since it was so tiring and she was getting old, why not give up?
At first, Chen Siyuan thought Li Huarong was greedy for money and wanted to have everything, but it seems that's not the case.
Li Ming was so devastated by the death of his parents that he transformed from an ambitious and promising young man into the tormenting and deranged person he is today.
What Chen Siyuan couldn't understand was that Li Huarong had been very annoyed by her grandson's self-destructive behavior in the past, and had used family discipline several times, but to no avail.
Not long ago, it seemed that he had given up on this eldest grandson and gradually turned his attention to his second grandson, Li Ze.
During this period, the second son, Li Yiyi, was not involved at all.
That's strange.
Chen Siyuan also came from a merchant background, so she knew a little about the ins and outs of the business.
Based on the information she had obtained, she felt that the Li family was hiding something.
After learning Li Ming's identity, Chen Siyuan also felt that she might have stumbled upon a stroke of good luck.
Throughout the journey, the woman claiming to be the housekeeper kept testing Chen Siyuan, who pretended not to notice.
When asked such a sensitive question, Chen Siyuan didn't think much and said directly, "I was a little tired from playing, and when I came out I saw someone self-harming."
Butler Hua stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen Siyuan. "Self-harm?" Looking at the young boy in front of him, he was indeed immature and had not grown up.
Arriving at the Li residence, the fact that he could still utter the words "self-harm" shows how simple-minded he is.
Yang Lei followed behind, and was surprised that Chen Siyuan spoke so frankly about 'self-harm'.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have believed it to be true.
"Oh, it's nothing really. I used to practice martial arts when I was little and I would hurt myself sometimes. If my mother hadn't stopped me, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
"Your mother?"
"Yes." A smile appeared on Chen Siyuan's innocent face, a smile as excited as a child who had just received candy. "My mother is so good to me. She will grant me whatever I want."
"Is that so?"
“However, my father is not good, he is too strict. This time, I secretly…” Chen Siyuan suddenly covered her mouth and looked at the housekeeper Hua warily.
Butler Hua seemed to immediately understand what he meant and quickly changed her tone, "Young Master Chen, what brings you here this time?"
"Go ahead and play!" he said confidently.
The housekeeper glanced at Chen Siyuan, then looked at Yang Lei who was following behind.
Yang Lei didn't even glance at the man, only staring at what was in front of him.
Soon, Chen Siyuan followed Butler Hua to Feiyu Hall.
“Young Master Chen, our eldest young master is inside, now…” Butler Hua said from the side, when suddenly a wolf howl came from inside, “Let him get in!”
Li Ming.
A familiar voice, filled with overwhelming anger.
Chen Siyuan knew that her words had worked.
So much time has passed, and countless doctors have come, but they all seem to say the same thing: there was no poisoning, just an abdominal injury.
This is exactly the result Chen Siyuan wanted.
She wasn't poisoned, and there wasn't time at the time, so she could only use this excuse to fool someone.
Fortunately, this tactic worked, and he successfully arrived at the Li family's residence.
She believed that since Su Wen said Qiao Yuchen was last seen at that art gallery, and given Li Ming's twisted nature and the Li family's influence in Huzhou, as long as they could break through Huzhou, they wouldn't be unable to find Qiao Yuchen.
Chen Siyuan only thought of this after meeting Su Wen.
Su Wen is, after all, a member of the Dali Temple. His arrival this time is to purge corrupt officials, and his appearance will attract a lot of attention.
It's too difficult for him to get useful information.
On the contrary, he himself, a businessman by origin and a spendthrift, saw Huzhou as a place with such great business opportunities, which was the perfect time for him to make his mark.
Having successfully arrived at the Li family's residence, we can say that we have truly entered Huzhou.
If you meet Li Huarong again, it would be best to get his help; that would mean you've already succeeded halfway.
Chen Siyuan believed that Li Huarong had close ties with the local government and was highly likely to know the inside story.
Chen Siyuan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and seemed oblivious to the roar reaching her ears. She swaggered in and gave the disheveled Li Ming a big smile.
"Young Master Li, you're too perverted. How could you try to commit suicide?" He said this in a very casual manner.
Li Ming's face turned pale with anger. Just as he was about to retaliate, he aggravated the wound on his abdomen and howled in pain.
Seeing this, the housekeeper ignored Chen Siyuan and rushed forward to help.
They called for a doctor and hurriedly summoned others to help.
In an instant, the spacious room became crowded.
Chen Siyuan and Yang Lei kept retreating.
They watched the scene unfold before them as if it were a play.
Chen Siyuan was quite certain that Li Ming in front of her wasn't faking it; this man was truly a pervert.
A hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes. He knew he wouldn't get any useful information from someone like that, so he could only place his hopes on Li Huarong, hoping that this strange old man could give him some useful clues.
