“I really don’t want it to be Auntie Wei. If it was really her, then wouldn’t it mean that she had played the Xie family for a fool all these years?”
Xie Xinghe had been thinking about this. What if it was Li Zhiwei?
All the elders in the family would be livid.
“But, brother-in-law, theoretically speaking, the Li family is the most suspicious, aren’t they?”
Xie Xinghe sighed. Yes, any normal person would doubt the Li family after encountering such a thing.
How difficult would it be for the Li family to prove their innocence?
Unless the Li family didn’t have a hand in this…
However, if the Li family was innocent, then who did it?
Was it Lu Jijun?
Lu Jijun was just a minor doctor back then. Could he have such power and influence?
“What are you going to do about Tianxin?” Xie Xinghe suddenly changed the topic.
Li Qingcang was startled, then answered honestly, “I’m going to wait for Tianxin to turn 20. Then, I will propose marriage.”
“Won’t it be too early to get married at 20?”
Xie Xinghe was in a bit of a dilemma.
On one side, there was Li Qingcang, his brother-in-law. On the other, there was her younger sister, Ye Tianxin.
Whose side should he choose?
“I’m just afraid of Uncle causing trouble.”
Li Qingcang confessed the truth to Xie Xinghe. Xie Xuning, obviously, wasn’t easy to deal with. What would Li Qingcang do if Xie Xuning did something to obstruct their relationship?
Was it really possible for Li Qingcang to challenge Xie Xuning?
“Uncle might want Tianxin to live with him for a few more years. He has just found his daughter.”
Xie Xinghe thought that, his Uncle aside, even he himself hoped that his daughter wouldn’t marry so young.
He hoped that his daughter would stay with them for a while and live a stable life. Wouldn’t it be nice to be a princess who was doted on and pampered by her parents?
“Brother-in-law, you have to help me then.”
Li Qingcang felt really regretful. He should have understood his feelings earlier, and then snatched Ye Tianxin so Xie Xuning wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
“I can’t help with this.”
Xie Xinghe sounded apologetic as he raised his hands.
“Brother-in-law, if you don’t help me, I will complain to my sister,” Li Qingcang threatened.
Xie Xinghe smiled. “My good brother, it’s useless for you to complain to my wife.” Xie Xinghe walked towards Li Qingcang’s side, put a hand on his shoulder, and told him in a low voice, “Be good to Tianxin and treat her better than Uncle does. Soon, Uncle will see that you’re quite acceptable, that you treat his daughter well.”
“I’ll listen to you, brother-in-law.”
Li Qingcang was very happy. At present, the question was: How should he treat Ye Tianxin well?
“Brother-in-law, what should I do then?”
Xie Xinghe couldn’t help but smack his forehead upon hearing Li Qingcang’s question. He finally understood why his wife often said that her brother was a bit stupid.
…
…
Even though Xie Xuning was in Jiameng Town, he was still informed about the imperial capital’s affairs. When he learned that the charred and unrecognizable corpse belonged to Lu Jijun, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.
He also got worried about his safety. If he and Li Qingcang had found out later, then Ye Tianxin might no longer be in this world.
Beforehand, he hadn’t anticipated that the mastermind would be able to do things to this extent.
“Xuning.”
Grandmother called out and interrupted Xie Xuning’s thinking.
