“I’m a young master, what wish do I have that I can’t fulfill and need to make a wish to achieve?” Sun Qi said smugly, opening his fan with a “whoosh” and fanning himself twice.
Then, belatedly, I realized I was cold and quickly closed the fan.
Sun Qi reluctantly put away his fan and pulled his coarse cloth clothes tighter around himself.
He came out suddenly, without even bringing a change of clothes. He was still wearing He Shitou's clothes, which, although new, didn't fit him very well.
He Shitou was more robust than Sun Qi, so he needed to tie a belt around his waist to keep warm.
He Shitou curled his lip when he heard Sun Qi say that.
"I don't believe it, Brother Sun. Have all your wishes come true?"
Zhao Wanzi sighed, "It's so good to be born into a rich family. You can have a life of luxury from a young age and have whatever you want."
Zhao Xiaolu and Zhao Xiaolan remained silent, their hearts filled with longing for their loved ones.
Two days later, the two planned to visit their mother's grave, burn incense and paper money for her.
Li Qianqian seemed a bit preoccupied, wondering if her stepmother would take her anger out on her and treat her father badly.
Thinking about this, Li Qianqian felt even heavier.
Of the four girls, all but Zhao Wanzi seemed preoccupied.
He Shitou didn't know how to comfort her, so he finally managed to say, "I'm going to heat up the bathwater."
Zhao Wanzi also felt a little tired. "I'm going to play with my sister. You guys play."
After saying that, Zhao Wanzi left.
The two sisters, Zhao Xiaolü and Zhao Xiaolan, also went back to the house, saying they wanted to fold more gold and silver ingots so they could visit their mother's grave in a couple of days.
In the large courtyard, only Sun Qi and Li Qianqian remained.
Li Qianqian stared worriedly at the plump, white snowman, while Sun Qi hesitated to speak.
"Miss Li, I know a renowned doctor whose medical skills are quite famous. Perhaps he can help you."
Li Qianqian immediately snapped out of her daze, her eyes lighting up.
"Really?" But after thinking about it, she realized that she had previously hired many self-proclaimed miracle doctors for her father, but none of them had any effect.
Sun Qi, brimming with confidence, analyzed, "Miss Li, is it possible that your father isn't sick, but rather... poisoned?"
Li Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise.
Poisoning? Was her father poisoned?
But who would poison her father? The most likely candidate is her stepmother, but what benefit would her stepmother gain from poisoning her father?
Seeing that Li Qianqian looked confused, Sun Qi and Li Qianqian went to the kitchen where He Shitou was tending the fire and sat down to sort out the problem.
Sun Qi's statement wasn't without reason.
“Miss Li, actually, this kind of thing is quite common. My father has many concubines in his courtyard, and there are countless cases of women being drugged, miscarried, or even dying…”
Sun Qi rattled off all her embarrassing stories without holding anything back.
The situation in Master Li's family is probably simpler than that in the Sun family. Li Qianqian is already so grown up, so even if her stepmother is vicious, she wouldn't poison an adult to death.
Moreover, Miss Li is a young woman, and her stepmother has already given birth to the only son in the Li family, so her position is very secure.
Therefore, there is only one possibility...
Li Qianqian was shocked and pressed for an answer: "What possibility? Does Young Master Sun mean..."
“Li Kelan is very likely not your father’s child, but your stepmother’s child with someone else…” Sun Qi said, but of course, this was all just his guess.
However, his guess was not entirely unfounded.
This is something he can't tell Li Qianqian yet.
Li Qianqian's face turned pale, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
He Shitou was tending the fire while eavesdropping. However, he was also so shocked by the explosive news that he was speechless.
Li Qianqian was silent for a moment before recalling, "But when my stepmother gave birth to Kelan, I watched her belly grow bigger every day..."
At that time, Li Qianqian was about two or three years old.
Originally, Li Qianqian didn't doubt this matter, but when she recalled when she was two or three years old, she became a little uncertain.
The day after her mother passed away, her father married Gao Yinzhi.
“Hey…” Sun Qi interrupted Li Qianqian, “Miss Li, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth.”
That statement does indeed make some sense.
Li Qianqian was at a loss for what to do. If what Young Master Sun guessed was true, wouldn't her family, or even her father, be in great danger?
"Young Master Sun, what is my stepmother's reason for poisoning my father?"
He Shitou threw a piece of firewood under the stove and interjected, "That must be because your dad found out a secret he shouldn't have known, otherwise why would he?"
Sun Qi nodded in agreement; He Shitou, that blockhead, had finally come to his senses.
Why is Miss Li so dense? He's given such obvious hints.
No, rather than saying she's clueless, it's more accurate to say this rich young lady is too naive.
Seeing Li Qianqian's worried expression and the fact that she was about to cry, Sun Qi took a breath and comforted her, "Miss Li, don't worry, the above are all just my guesses..."
“But I think your guess isn’t impossible…” Li Qianqian’s eyes were brimming with tears.
When she looked at Sun Qi, she looked like a pitiful little kitten.
Sun Qi's breath hitched. "Maybe... well..."
Before he could figure out what to say, He Shitou grabbed his shoulder from behind and patted his chest to assure him.
