Li Ziqiang pretended to roll his eyes at Li Sanxing and said
"You know your grandfather's personality. Even if he knew this divine messenger was fake, he would still keep him around. Don't you understand?"
Hearing Li Ziqiang's ambiguous words, and based on his own imagination, Li Sanxing looked at his second uncle in shock and said...
"You mean Grandpa did it for that extraordinary woman, Qinglu, who appeared at the banquet?"
"You brat, what are you saying? Is your grandfather that kind of lecherous man? You said all this, don't drag me into it..."
Li Ziqiang quickly denied it, thinking to himself, "How could I have guessed that was your problem? All the words came from your mouth. I don't know anything!"
Li Sanxing rolled his eyes at Li Ziqiang, thinking to himself, "You didn't say it, but that's what you meant..."
"Second Uncle, words alone are not enough. How can you be so sure that the other party's identity as a divine messenger is fake?"
Li Sanxing wasn't stupid; he wouldn't believe everything Li Ziqiang said. After all, the rivalry between the two families had always existed, and although they lived under the same roof, their relationship wasn't harmonious...
As if he knew Li Ziqiang would ask this question, he beckoned to Li Sanxing and pulled up a corner of his shirt, just enough for Li Sanxing to see what was inside...
"This...this is..."
"Shh..."
Li Ziqiang stopped Li Sanxing from speaking, and then said mysteriously.
"Now you should believe me, right? If I wasn't sure, why would I go to your grandfather and tell him that the divine messenger's identity is fake? Otherwise, knowing your grandfather's personality, if I ruined his plans, he'd kill me..."
Li Sanxing nodded, completely agreeing with his second uncle's words. He knew his second uncle's personality well; unless he was absolutely certain, he would never confront his grandfather directly. After all, his grandfather had been a shadow looming over him since childhood, and he was terrified of him...
"How outrageous! They actually dared to scam the Li family! Today I'll show them that the Li family isn't so easy to enter..."
He then headed straight for the guest room…
Watching Li Sanxing's hurried departure, Li Ziqiang's lips curled into a cold smile...
Regardless of Zhu Yougui's purpose in finding him, he couldn't possibly follow his plan completely. Otherwise, if he were truly tricked, he wouldn't even know how he died. By dragging his elder brother's son into this mess, he was essentially arranging a way out for himself...
After doing all this, Li Ziqiang walked towards his father's study...
Knock knock…
"Father, it's me, Ziqiang..."
Li Ziqiang knew his father was in the study, so after knocking, he immediately identified himself…
After a long silence in the study, Li Tiande's somewhat impatient voice finally broke the silence:
"Ziqiang, why aren't you resting? What are you doing here?"
He thought Li Ziqiang had come to him to complain about what happened at the banquet, so he was very reluctant to see his son…
"Father, I have something important to report to you!"
Li Ziqiang said seriously!
Silence fell in the study once more, but this time it didn't last long. A soft sigh was heard, and then Li Tiande calmly spoke.
"Come in..."
Li Ziqiang pushed open the door and entered, seeing his father holding a painting and examining it carefully. This made him curious, wondering when his father had acquired another masterpiece and was valuing it so highly…
"Speak, what is it..."
Li Tiande asked without looking up, his eyes fixed only on the painting in front of him…
Only when he got closer did Li Ziqiang realize that the painting was not a masterpiece by a master at all; it was clearly a portrait of Qinglu painted by his own father…
This made Li Ziqiang's expression somewhat strange. He felt that his father must be completely infatuated with Qinglu. At this moment, he hesitated, wondering whether he should reveal the matter of the fake divine messenger. What if he touched his father's sore spot and then suffered the consequences?
"Father, didn't you ever doubt the identity of this divine messenger?"
Li Ziqiang did not reveal his purpose immediately, but instead tentatively asked his father!
"What? Are you trying to save face?"
Li Tiande continued to look at the portrait in his hand and slowly asked a question. He thought his son wanted to get revenge, and his attitude made Li Ziqiang's heart pound, afraid that he would be scolded by his father if he said something wrong...
Seeing that Li Ziqiang remained silent, Li Tiande glanced at him briefly, but quickly looked away, continuing to examine the portrait in his hand…
"If you don't have anything else to do, you should go back first. Your older brother knows the answers to some of these questions; you can go ask him..."
Li Tiande waved his hand impatiently, his attention completely focused on the portrait, and he had no intention of speaking to Li Ziqiang at all…
This made Li Ziqiang hesitate, but he didn't leave. He was really unwilling to leave without saying anything...
Perhaps sensing that Li Ziqiang hadn't left and that his son was watching him for so long, he felt somewhat embarrassed, which made him glare angrily at Li Ziqiang and reprimand him.
"What? Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to call for help?"
Li Ziqiang trembled all over and immediately knelt on the ground and said
"Father, please calm your anger. I have come to report something important to you..."
"Hmph! Hurry up and tell me..."
Li Tiande sat down, put down the portrait in his hand, and waited for Li Ziqiang to continue!
Startled by his father's cold snort, Li Ziqiang nearly wet himself, but finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said firmly.
“Father, I’ve discovered the messenger is a fake…”
After speaking, Li Ziqiang lowered his head, waiting for his father's punishment. However, half a day passed without his father speaking, which made him unable to resist secretly observing his father's reaction...
The father sat there calmly, picking up Qinglu's portrait once more, as if nothing had happened...
This puzzled Li Ziqiang, and he couldn't help but ask again.
"Father, are you just going to let a false messenger run rampant in our Li family?"
"I already told you, you can just talk to your older brother about this. It's not a big deal..."
Li Tiande waved his hand, which was already a way of telling him to leave, but Li Ziqiang was unwilling to leave just like that. He couldn't help but ask further.
"Father, is it because of Miss Qinglu?"
Li Tiande put down the portrait in his hand, looked angrily at Li Ziqiang, and said in a cold voice...
"You've asked enough questions, go back and rest..."
Seeing his father's reaction, Li Ziqiang knew he had guessed correctly, which left him speechless, but he couldn't help but continue speaking.
"Father, what if I told you that the divine messenger and Miss Qinglu had a good relationship, that would also be a lie?"
Hearing Li Ziqiang's words, Li Tiande finally took them seriously. He looked at Li Ziqiang and frowned as he spoke.
What exactly do you know?
