Liu Yihao didn't return to the Liu family. Where had he been all these years? What was his connection to the deaths of Widow Liu and Xiaoxin?
"That man showed up at the Xu family's gate yesterday. It couldn't be a coincidence!" Yun Xi pursed her lips and said.
Xue Zhan nodded as well. "He's still in the city."
After saying that, he grinned at the indifferent Mo Liandi. "Your Highness, you're the best at finding people secretly. For Miss Liu's sake, give us a hand, will you?"
Mo Liandi put down the teacup in his hand and made a gesture towards the darkness. A figure flashed in front of everyone. Who else could it be but Ye Zhe?
Seeing Mo Liandi being so cooperative, the smile in Xue Zhan's eyes deepened.
They didn't know what role Master Xu played in this matter yet, but it was certain that he was involved in Liu Yihao's death a few years ago.
"Does that mean the person Widow Liu wanted to see that day was Liu Yihao?" But this thought flashed through her mind and was immediately dismissed. "No, if it was Liu Yihao, why would they act so secretly?"
Could it be that the person Widow Liu wanted to see was someone else?
Xue Zhan and Mo Liandi exchanged a thoughtful look. "We probably won't find the answer until we find Liu Yihao."
He must know something about Widow Liu's death.
Yun Xi suddenly spoke up. "Who is the mastermind behind the Xu family? Is it that Princess Anning from the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion?"
This woman had provoked Liu Liu repeatedly before. She was a typical white lotus, pretending to be innocent and weak while secretly plotting against others!
Yun Li's eyes were also full of curiosity. She immediately looked at Mo Liandi beside her.
Hearing this, Xue Zhan couldn't help but feel amused. He opened his folding fan with a 'snap'. "Interesting. Why do you assume it's Princess Anning?"
Yun Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "I'm not stupid. Princess Anning pretended to be innocent before. She seemed to be speaking up for Liu Liu, but in fact, she was just fanning the flames of the common people's anger."
Moreover, this woman had been jealous of Liu Liu for a long time. It wasn't surprising that she would do such a thing.
Yun Li also nodded seriously. "Princess Anning is not a good person. But I'm afraid she alone isn't capable of spreading the rumors so widely. I'm afraid the Marquis of Huaiyuan is also involved."
This father - daughter pair were birds of a feather, colluding with each other. They were complete villains!
Xue Zhan's eyes were full of admiration. The light in his eyes shone as he looked at the two of them. Although these two kids were annoying at times, he was determined to win them over!
Liu Rumei had a faint smile on her face. "No matter who it is, we'll face them head - on. We'll always find a way to solve the problem."
However, if it was really the Marquis of Huaiyuan, it would be better. The Marquis was only targeting her, trying to get the position of the Princess of the State of An. If it was someone else, they might want more.
They probably wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity.
Mo Liandi's eyes flashed with approval as he looked at Yun Xi and Yun Li. They hadn't wasted his time after all. The Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion must be involved. There were also some others who were trying to stir up trouble and achieve two goals with one arrow!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold Liu Rumei's soft hand on the table and said calmly, "I'll solve this matter as soon as possible."
Xue Zhan gave a leisurely smile and said to Xiao Heyuan beside him, "See? This is a man who values his lover over his friends. I've grown up with him, but I've never seen him like this!"
Xiao Heyuan gave an embarrassed smile. He knew that Lord Xue was no match for Mo Liandi, but he just couldn't help provoking him.
A smile played on Mo Liandi's lips. "Liu Liu is going to be my future princess. Naturally, she's different. What? Does Lord Xue want to be my princess too?"
Xue Zhan was slightly stunned, his face full of disbelief. After a while, Mo Liandi's voice came again. "It's really a pity. I only have Liu Liu in my heart. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Lord Xue."
Liu Rumei couldn't help but giggle when she saw Xue Zhan's shocked expression.
She didn't know that Mo Liandi could say such things.
The brothers Yun Li and Yun Xi also looked at Xue Zhan with a more scrutinizing look. No wonder Lord Xue was always hanging around Mo Liandi. So this was his intention?
Xiao Heyuan was even more direct. He quickly took a step back and secretly distanced himself from Xue Zhan.
Xue Zhan's lips twitched slightly. Feeling the three strange looks, he quickly said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. My sexual orientation is normal!"
Mo Liandi hooked his lips into a smile, his eyes full of meaning. "Really?"
"Of course!"
"Since that's the case, then listen to Aunt Qiao obediently and find a good marriage. That will put my mind at ease."
Xue Zhan jumped up immediately. He pointed the folding fan in his hand at Mo Liandi's nose. "Good for you, Mo Liandi! You've been waiting for me here! Whether I get married or not is none of your business!"
Mother was really unreasonable. Her son was handsome, suave, talented, and elegant. How could he not find a wife?
Only then did Liu Rumei understand. It seemed that Aunt Qiao was forcing Xue Zhan to get married!
Mo Liandi said calmly, "Lord Xue has been reluctant to get married for so long. I've been very worried. I thought Lord Xue might have some hidden illness. But after hearing what you said just now, I'm really shocked. To help Lord Xue turn back from the wrong path, I'll definitely find a good marriage for Lord Xue with Aunt Qiao!"
Xue Zhan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he got married, how could he still live a care - free life?
"Mo Liandi, you haven't even solved your own problems yet. Stop meddling in my business."
If he really pushed him too far, don't blame him for disregarding their brotherly affection!
Mo Liandi gave a meaningful look at Liu Rumei beside him. His eyes were full of tenderness. "As long as Liu Liu is willing, I'll marry her at any time!"
A look of uneasiness flashed across Liu Rumei's face. She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip to hide the embarrassment in her eyes.
Seeing Liu Rumei like this, Mo Liandi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes full of helplessness.
Xue Zhan snorted, his tone full of threat. "Miss Liu is a rare and wonderful woman in the world. If I want to get married, I'll marry Miss Liu!"
Mo Liandi, if you dare to interfere, I won't show any mercy. He didn't believe that after spending so many years among women, he couldn't win over Liu Rumei!
Hearing this highly suggestive remark, a cold light flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. "Lord Xue has really high standards. I'll send the portraits of the unmarried ladies in the capital to Aunt Qiao tomorrow and let her choose carefully!"
Xue Zhan gritted his teeth, his face ashen. He felt that the only regret in his life was befriending this villain, Mo Liandi!
