Chapter 65: The Intricate Relationship Between the Wealthy

Chu Yunfei left the fifth lady and Li Jianye alone in the hall. Because Li Jianye, the first person to find out that Li Dashan was missing, it was necessary for him to understand the situation at that time from Li Jianye's mouth. However, Li Jianye could provide few useful clues, and he could only confirm that Li Dashan disappeared after the fifth watch and before dawn. In other words, Lee Daseon disappeared after about half an hour of solitude. Unlike the previous cases, the door of the Li family was concealed, indicating that Li Dashan may have been taken away from the front door.

As soon as the conversation with Li Jianye ended, the fifth lady hurriedly asked, "Do you really think that my father-in-law is different from those kidnapping cases?" But how to explain the kidnapping letter? Do you say ......"

The eldest prince looked at the fifth lady with a stunned expression, he couldn't understand what the fifth lady said at all.

Chu Yunfei comforted, "Actually, we don't have any definite evidence at the moment. However, judging from the information that has been investigated so far, the kidnapping case of Li Dashan is obviously different from those kidnapping cases. However, as long as you cooperate with us, I believe that this case will soon be investigated. ”

"Why should I trust you?" The fifth lady is worthy of being a shrewd family member, and every word she says is straight to the point.

Li Jianye said coldly, "Fifth aunt, at the moment, we don't trust Prince Chu and the government, who else can we trust?" Do I count on you? I'm afraid that now you can't let my father come back, so that you can dominate the power of the Li family forever. ”

The fifth lady stared at Li Jianye with a pair of red eyes, as if she was full of complaints, and sighed for a while before she said slowly: "Eldest prince, you are the future leader of the Li family, how can you say such a thing?" At the moment, I'm just taking care of the housework for the master, and if you want to talk about the housekeeping, hasn't the master already handed over part of the business to you to take care of? ”

This is the scene that gives Chu Yunfei the most headache, and it is also the reason why he has always disliked dealing with businessmen. Although these people have a lot of money, for the sake of the small profits in front of them, they will not give up easily if they don't fight to the death, especially a family like Li Dashan who has many concubines. He even wondered how Li Dashan's good name came about, and if he was really a famous good person, why did he still make so much trouble for himself?

Since the kidnapping case of Li Dashan may have nothing to do with Green Peony, it is inevitable to conduct an investigation from within the Li family. Before Chu Yunfei's further investigation began, the fifth lady said something quite meaningful, "I think...... Maybe it's a prank by the old man. His heart is on Xiao Liu, who can guess Xiao Liu's flowery intestines? I think she just took a fancy to the Li family's money and married the master. I think it's still up and down from Xiaoliu, right? You tell me? The eldest son? ”

Unexpectedly, Li Jianye's face turned red all of a sudden. I said a word for a long time. The fifth lady didn't seem to intend to continue on this topic, but turned around and went out, and found the two family members who had been guarding Li Dashan's side for the past few days. After all, it was these two people who saw Li Dashan last that day.

If you only look at the physique of these two family members, you can judge that Li Dashan is very thoughtful. These two people are vast and powerful, even if they don't know kung fu, ordinary people can't get close to them. Chu Yunfei interrogated for a long time, but they didn't know anything, because they had not left Li Dashan's side for the past few days, and they were always tense, and they were easily tired. On the fifth watch of the day, they went back to their rooms and fell asleep. It wasn't until I heard the eldest prince's cry for help that I knew that the master was gone!

Inquiries about other members of the Li family did not get particularly useful clues. However, Chu Yunfei found that everyone was silent about the relationship between his concubine Ping'er and the eldest son, even Qiao'er and her mother, the third lady, who rushed to Meixiang Xiaozhu in person to ask Chu Yunfei for help, were reluctant to say more, which deepened Chu Yunfei's curiosity.

Ping'er seems to be ignorant of all this. Chu Yunfei deliberately mentioned the eldest son, but Ping'er replied without leaking, she only said that she spent most of her time taking care of Li Dashanren and had little contact with the eldest prince. This made Chu Yunfei even more curious, and he faintly felt that Ping'er was more thoughtful than he imagined, and there must be an untold story hidden on her seemingly simple and ecstatic face. In order to investigate clearly, Chu Yunfei deliberately asked Mei Yingxue to find a way to get close to Li Qiao'er and find a breakthrough from her.

The hard work paid off, and Mei Yingxue came up with shocking facts from Li Qiaoer's mouth. It is said that Ping'er came to Li's house four months ago, and she herself said that her family suffered a few years ago, and it was Li Dashan who extended a helping hand to them. At present, Ping'er has become an adult and volunteered to be a slave in the Li family's mansion to report the kindness of the Li family. From the first time he saw her, the eldest son Li Jianye's whole heart fell on her, and he wanted to marry her. Ping'er seems to be interested in the eldest son, but she doesn't say it, she just leaves him. Because of his mother's death, he had a good relationship with Qiao'er's mother, that is, the third lady, so he entrusted the third lady to talk to Li Dashanren. Unexpectedly, Li Dashan refused to be wrong with the door. Things suddenly took a big turn three months ago, and Li Dashan suddenly announced that he would take another concubine. It wasn't until the sixth lady came out to greet everyone that the rest of the Li family was shocked to find out that the so-called sixth lady turned out to be Ping'er!

From that day on, the eldest prince avoided Ping'er everywhere. Probably Li Jianye thinks that this matter is too difficult to talk about, and the third lady has always been strict-mouthed, and outsiders will not know. Unexpectedly, this matter had already reached the ears of the fifth lady. The fifth lady was originally dissatisfied with Li Dashanren's concubine, but with this handle in her hands, she naturally had a seizure from time to time, so as to vent her grievances. Li Dashan also seemed to understand that he was a little excessive, and in order to appease his son, he handed over a lot of the family's business to Li Jianye one after another.

When Li Qiaoer said this to Mei Yingxue, she had a look of shame on her face, as if she was the one who did the wrong thing, not her brother and father. Qiao'er sighed again and again: "My father may be old and needs someone to accompany him, so he made such a decision." It's just that he shouldn't take Miss Ping as a concubine, the age difference between the two is too big. I really envy those simple families. It's a pity that such a dedicated good man is rare. ”

Looking at her sad face, Mei Yingxue forcibly suppressed the urge to comfort her and looked at her blankly.

After Mei Yingxue relayed all this to Chu Yunfei, she said word by word in a slightly distressed voice, "What do you think...... This eldest prince and the sixth lady, do they really have any ulterior secrets? If that's the case, it's unacceptable......"

"Are you worried about the Li family? Or are you worried about your sweetheart, Miss Qiao'er? Chu Yunfei quipped.

Mei Yingxue didn't answer. Chu Yunfei knew that everything had just begun, and since Green Peony would pass the book to him, it would mean that the Li family's kidnapping case would never be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
