"In that case, I really want to meet her." Ye Haoxuan nodded his head.
Li Luru saw him come out of the room and learned that he was going to question Lian Xueâer, so she hurried after him, "Hey, take me along."
"You? What are you going to do?"
Li Luruâs eyes darted around, "Iâm going to help you with the interrogation." Hehe, sheâd never admit she was just curious.
Nor would she mention that she actually wanted to hear what the fake Lian Xueâer had to say. Later this afternoon, she even needed to do needlework for Ye Haoxuan.
Is this needlework something you can just give away? Saying itâs gratitude, she didnât believe it.
"You help me with the interrogation?" Ye Haoxuan just chuckled, "It would be good enough if you donât make a mess."
"I promise not to make a mess, Iâll just listen in." Li Luru raised her hand and said, "Once I leave the room, Iâll immediately forget what Iâve heard."
"Hmph!"
Ye Haoxuan didnât say whether he agreed or disagreed, so she just assumed he agreed.
"Speaking of this Feng Suyun, she really is trouble. You say she sought refuge with the Lian Family, eating and dressing well at their expense. The Lian Family got nothing good out of it, not to mention lost their lives because of her."
This Feng Suyun is actually the fake Lian Xueâer.
Ye Haoxuanâs subordinates brought back the real Lian Xueâer and her brother, and then they learned that the fake Lian Xueâer was actually named Feng Suyun, a distant relative seeking shelter with the Lian Family.
It later matched what Zhong Yongqian said.
Zhong Yongqian spotted Feng Suyun from a distance while he was inspecting the riverbank.
Among a group of girls in coarse cloth, Feng Suyunâs looks were particularly striking, making her hard to ignore.
And when he took a second look, he felt she seemed very familiar, thinking for a long time before remembering, isnât this the Miss Ye he had seen at the Situ Residence?
When Zhong Yongqian saw Ye Rongyue, he was some distance away, hence when he saw Feng Suyun, he didnât realize that Feng Suyun didnât actually resemble Ye Rongyue much.
Zhong Yongqian was always skilled at scheming, having a distant connection with the Situ Residence, he had been diligent in maintaining relationships over the years, thus they would often leak some news to him.
For example, the Ye Familyâs Miss had disappeared, or His Highness Prince An had arrived in his jurisdiction.
But these didnât satisfy Zhong Yongqianâs desires; he wanted to climb the official ladder and make a fortune, yet the Situ Family never promoted him.
So when he saw Feng Suyun, he cried tears of joy, thinking he had finally emerged after enduring for so many years.
Finding the missing Ye Familyâs Miss, this was a heaven-sent opportunity for him.
However, just when he thought he could cozy up to the Ye Family and soar to the top, the investigation revealed that this was not the Ye Familyâs Miss at all.
Zhong Yongqian was quite frustrated, regretting for a long time at home, but it was his smart wife who said, considering the Ye Familyâs Miss has been missing for so long, they probably wouldnât find her, so here was a ready-made substitute, wasnât it heavenâs compensation to the Ye Family?
She then suggested to Zhong Yongqian, "We should bring her in, instruct and train her a bit, with that appearance, fearing the Ye Family wouldnât be able to tell the difference. When the Ye Family brings her back, itâs even better if they donât expose the truth; the Old Master will then have support. If the truth gets exposed, it wonât have any connection to us. Weâve never interacted with the Ye Familyâs Miss, so how could we recognize her? Itâs merely a small advantage based on looks. Besides, we mean well, right?"
Zhong Yongqian thought it made sense and said, "But the Lian Family probably wonât cooperate, and even if they do, wouldnât that mean I have a hold over the Lian Family? Country people are timid, but what if one day their appetite grows?"
