"What did you just say?"
Qu Li's eyes were full of judgment.
The Li family has a daughter named Li Ran, who is extremely beautiful and charming. Marrying her will bring prosperity to the family!
This is the praise that the world gives to her mother, which shows how beautiful and unparalleled her mother was back then.
But Fang said that her background was different!
“Snap—”
A loud slap landed on Fang's face.
Everything happened so suddenly that Fang's face was knocked to one side and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you throw dirty water on my mother!"
Fang was stunned by the beating. It took her a long time to slowly turn her head. Her cheeks were already swollen and she let out a sharp laugh.
"Li Ran is just like her name. She had already had affairs with other men before she got married. Otherwise, why would someone of her status fall for Qu Yuxing?"
Qu Li felt his mind go blank, his chest heaving violently with shock.
In order to prevent Fang from talking nonsense and saying more humiliating words, she sealed Fang's mute point and dragged her all the way to Qinghe Garden.
She exuded a cold and terrifying low pressure, and the servants who passed by were trembling with fear, fearing that they would become cannon fodder.
But Fang was not afraid at all.
Qu Wenqian is her everything!
As long as she can save Qu Wenqian, she can give up anything!
Qu Li pushed her to the ground with a cold face and untied her mute point.
“Ouch—”
The sound of a tiger roaring suddenly reached Fang's ears, frightening her so much that she almost fainted.
"Speak clearly, or I'll feed you to my big cat!"
Hudan sniffed Fang through the cage, and the fishy stench coming out of Fang's mouth made her vomit in disgust.
Qu Li's face was covered with frost, "Speak!"
Fang was 100% sure before and thought that she could use these two secrets to exchange for Qu Li's chance to treat Qu Wenqian, but now she regrets it very much.
"I……"
Seeing her lips trembling with fear, Qu Li's patience ran out. He leaned over and grabbed her collar, saying word by word, "I ask, you answer! If you dare to lie to me, you'll be fed to the cat!"
Fang nodded timidly.
Qu Li took a deep breath and asked, "Was my mother killed by Qu Yuxing?"
“Yes… and no.”
"I have a bad temper and don't like to listen to nonsense."
"Back then, Qu Yuxing was just a soldier in the army. He wanted to succeed so badly. However, he had no connections, so even if he fought tooth and nail, his reward would only be a few ounces of silver."
Qu Li's voice was cold, "Continue."
"Later, by chance, he saved the Major General of the Left Vanguard Army and became his centurion! After that, he had a smooth journey and became a lieutenant. However, after that, he could no longer be promoted.
When he returned to the capital to receive his reward, Li Ran approached him and said she could give him three brilliant plans to help him rise to prominence, even becoming a marquis or a prime minister. However, the only condition was that he marry her!
Qu Li secretly guessed that Li Ran should have been pregnant at that time. With her beauty and grace that was famous in the capital at that time, the noble families would never marry her. And she was concerned about the reputation of the Li family and would never allow herself to marry down and cause criticism.
Only the ambitious Qu Yuxing is the most suitable for her.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Who is her biological father?
And Qu Wenzhao, whose child is he, Qu Yuxing's?
With Li Ran's personality, would she get pregnant with Qu Yuxing's child?
Fang shrank to the side, and the fishy smell finally disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"With Li Ran's help, Qu Yuxing indeed achieved military merit and was granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister. However, Li Ran didn't marry him out of genuine admiration for him, so naturally, I, his concubine, became the favored one!"
"I'm not interested in these messed up things! I just want to know what happened to my mother's death!"
Fang clenched her fingers.
Since it had come to this, she just told it all.
"It's Qu Yuxing."
Qu Li crossed his arms and glanced at her with a half-smile.
"They say women are the most vicious. Today I've witnessed it!"
Fang felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. She lowered her head and said nothing.
"How much do you know about my biological father? Or rather, how much does Qu Yuxing know?"
"I don't know. I only know that he must be a very powerful figure. I don't know anything else!"
She wanted to talk to Qu Li about treating Qu Wenqian, but when she met those cold eyes, the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
"I will investigate my mother's death! This medicine can alleviate Qu Wenqian's symptoms. Take one tablet three times a day!"
She planned to go to the Shadow Pavilion and ask them to investigate thoroughly.
As for Fang and Qu Wenqian, both mother and son had bullied her and Qu Wenzhao.
She's not that generous!
Just keep Fang, she is still useful.
Looking at the white pills in her hand, Fang's heart was beating fast.
"Can't trust it?" Qu Li raised his eyebrows.
"No, I just..."
"Qu Wenqian has syphilis, and Chinese medicine is slow to take effect! However, you should also know that once you contract this disease, it won't heal easily! If you don't believe me, you don't have to take it!"
Fang clenched the pills in her hand and said repeatedly, "I don't disbelieve it!"
"When you go back, ask Qu Yuxing and see if you can find out anything about my biological father!"
"good!"
When Fang stood up, her legs were weak and she almost fell.
Qu Li was worried and in a bad mood.
Hudan and Goudan kept whispering to her, trying to comfort her.
She smiled and patted their heads, "I'm fine!"
After feeding them some meat jerky made with spiritual spring water, she returned to her room.
The night was dark, and she disguised herself as an ordinary passerby and left Prince Chen's Mansion.
The deputy pavilion master greeted her with a smile and poured her a cup of tea.
"Young Master, what brings you here today?"
"Help me check Li Ran's past!"
"Isn't Li Ran your... ahem... Princess Chen's biological mother?" The Deputy Pavilion Master almost blurted out his words and coughed lightly.
"Check carefully! Please."
"After all, it's been a long time, and it might take some time and effort to find out."
"That's fine."
She guessed that Qu Wenqian should have taken antibiotics by now.
Western medicine works quickly, but it doesn’t produce results immediately.
At the latest, it will take two days for Fang to find that Qu Wenqian's symptoms have eased.
The medicine she gave Qu Wenqian was only enough for three days, which meant that Fang would definitely come again after three days.
With the Shadow Pavilion and the Fang family working together, she believed that they would soon be able to find out everything about their biological father.
She wanted to ask if he was still a man, as he actually abandoned his wife and children.
Since you don’t want to take responsibility, you shouldn’t have cheated in the first place!
The deputy leader personally saw her off. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she hesitated for a long time after returning. Then she picked up the pen, wrote a short letter in code, and opened the cage to take out the carrier pigeon.
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings twice and quickly disappeared into the vast night...
