258 Exposed
Hearing her mother’s lecture, Li Xiaoqing replied with a bitter expression, “Mother, don’t worry. It’s not that I don’t know how to cherish it!”
Li Xiaoran looked at her sister and immediately laughed.
“You should have thought twice before you spoke so you wouldn’t get scolded by our mom!”
After saying this, Li Xiaoran looked at her mother and counseled her.
“Mom, it’s not like you don’t know what Xiao Qing is like! With her good appetite, it’s impossible for her not to cherish food!”
Zhao Xiu remembered this after hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, so she softened her tone.
“Xiao Qing, I’m not blaming you. I’m just reminding you!”
Li Xiaoqing wasn’t angry. Actually, she knew that her mother was saying this for her own good, so she said sensibly, “Mom, I know what you mean! Don’t worry, I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life and cherish the food!”
After breakfast, Li Shun thought for a moment and took out the tools he had bought for carpentry.
Previously, he had wanted to make a dowry for his daughter, but before the new year, he only managed to cut firewood into wooden boards.
Since he had time now, he had to start preparing dowry for his daughter.
Li Shun wanted to see if his carpentry skills had declined or not. If he took up carpentry again now, he could have another way to make a living in the future.
Li Shun remembered what his father-in-law had said to him.
Li Shun thought about it for a few days and felt that his father-in-law, Zhao Huaishan, was right.
As a man, how could he rely on his son-in-law to support his family?
Even if Luo Cheng was willing to raise them, as a man, he still had to bear financial responsibility.
He had to plant the land and pick up his carpenter’s skills.
From today onwards, he had to work hard to earn money to support his family.
Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing were very curious about what their father was going to do, but Zhao Xiu pulled them aside.
“Don’t disturb your father. He wants to practice his carpentry skills! We’ve been away for so many days. I wonder what’s going on at the shop. Let’s go and tidy up today so that we can open business again in a few days!”
Since their mother had already spoken, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing naturally followed along.
Luo Cheng was busy preparing for the wedding, so he could only let Luo Ziyang follow Li Xiaoran and the others to the shop.
What made Li Xiaoran baffled was that Yuan Cheng, who was usually very diligent, didn’t open the shop today.
In the past, Yuan Cheng had always opened the shop very early so customers could eat warm steamed buns in the morning.
However, when they came over today, the door of the shop was closed. There was no movement inside.
After opening the shop door with the key, Li Xiaoran and the others walked in.
“Yuan Cheng, Yuan Cheng, where did you go? Why didn’t you open the shop today?” Li Xiaoran shouted with a frown.
No one answered. The shop was silent.
Luo Ziyang also realized that something was wrong, so he came to Li Xiaoran’s side and looked around.
“Cough, cough, cough. I’m sorry. I caught a cold. I woke up when I heard someone calling me just now!” At this moment, a voice came from Yuan Cheng’s room.
Although it was Yuan Cheng’s voice, Li Xiaoran felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, another wave of emotions appeared in Yuan Cheng’s room.
This wave of emotion contained tension, fear, and anxiety.
At that moment, the door opened.
Yuan Cheng walked out from behind the door. His entire body was wrapped tightly, only revealing his face.
Although they had the same face, Li Xiaoran felt that this person seemed familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
“Ziyang, capture this person!” Li Xiaoran suddenly said.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Ziyang immediately grabbed him.
After tapping this person’s acupoints, Luo Ziyang gave him some Soft Tendon Powder.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve caught him and drugged him with Soft Tendon Powder. It’s fine now!”
“Go and search the closet in the room. There should be another Yuan Cheng inside!” Li Xiaoran looked at the imposter in front of her and said.
“Huh?” When Luo Ziyang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he quickly ran in.
As expected, Luo Ziyang saw another Yuan Cheng tied up and gagged in the closet.
“Wuwuwu!” Yuan Cheng shouted when he saw Luo Ziyang.
Luo Ziyang quickly took out the gag from Yuan Cheng’s mouth and asked, “Are you alright?”
Yuan Cheng replied anxiously, “I’m fine. It’s just that the back of my neck is a little sore. I blacked out after being smacked by that person! When I woke up, I was already locked up in here!”
As Luo Ziyang listened, he untied the ropes on Yuan Cheng’s hands and feet.
After quickly putting on his clothes, Yuan Cheng walked out with Luo Ziyang’s help.
When Yuan Cheng saw that there was actually someone in the courtyard who looked exactly like him, he was immediately shocked.
“Good lord, did my parents give birth to a twin brother?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
Yuan Cheng had a good mentality.
He had just been kidnapped, but his mood wasn’t affected at all. He even had the mood to ponder if he had a twin brother!
“Look carefully. Do you really think this is your brother?” Luo Ziyang rolled his eyes at Yuan Cheng and reminded him.
Yuan Cheng squatted down and sized her up carefully before saying, “I can’t tell. He looks exactly like me!”
“He’s in disguise! And if I’m not mistaken, this person is someone I know!” With that, Li Xiaoran stared at the fake Yuan Cheng on the ground. “Isn’t that right? Fang Wanli! Oh, no, maybe I shouldn’t call you Fang Wanli because you’re not Fang Wanli.”
When the fake Yuan Cheng on the ground heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he stared at her in shock.
“How do you know? That’s impossible. No one can see through my disguise!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she sneered.
“Perhaps your disguise can indeed fool others. Unfortunately, you can’t fool me!”
“Send someone to call your brother over! We have to let your brother handle this!” With that, Li Xiaoran entered the shop to tidy up.
Luo Ziyang nodded and helped Yuan Cheng to another place to sit down and rest. Then, he went to find the secret guard to pass the news to Luo Cheng.
Soon, Luo Cheng appeared in the shop.
“Is it really Fang Wanli, who we caught previously?” Luo Cheng asked Li Xiaoran as soon as he came in.
“He’s not Fang Wanli. He’s probably an imposter! I’ll have to trouble you to interrogate him!” Li Xiaoran said.
