Liu Ruotian saw that Li Yuqi had not returned for a long time, and he felt that something was wrong. After some hard waiting, Li Yuqi finally returned. As soon as Liu Ruotian saw his smiling expression, he knew that there must be a lot of articles in it. And Li Yuqi saw that he couldn't hide it, so he simply played a two-faced, don't look at his small eyes and timidity, but he is so big, he actually wants to hide from the world. But Li Yuqi is indeed not a person who is good at lying, and Liu Ruotian saw through it in a few words, but Liu Ruotian did not blame him, after all, all this was Liu Ruotian's own fault, and he couldn't complain about others.

Then Liu Ruotian sat on the chair and began to sigh, at this time he was really in a dilemma, he didn't know why he did so many stupid things, maybe this whole thing was a big mistake from the beginning. But the matter has come to this point, no matter how much self-blame is useless, so Liu Ruotian resolutely decided to be content with the times, adapt to changes, and respond to all changes with the same.

Since then, everyone's life has become more and more normal, and the relationship has become more harmonious. Until one day, the appearance of a woman quietly broke this rare peace.

Early summer is coming, most of the people are already wearing summer clothes, and there are no clouds in Chang'an City, birds and flowers.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Liu Ruotian, Li Yuqi, Mei Yuchen, and Mei Jiaxing came to the West Market to play.

The four of them were just about to enter the West Market, but they were disturbed by a loud noise. I saw two official sedan chairs coming slowly from east to west, and a group of officers and soldiers led the way, shouting at the surrounding people and vendors, domineering. When everyone saw this, they all took refuge, and they were very frightened.

The people in these two official sedan chairs are Jiang Xinghe, the protector of the country, and his wife Li Shuqi, who have just returned from the 60th birthday of Zhu Jingqi, the imperial master of the dynasty.

Mei Jiaxing was very curious when he saw this, so he asked the vendor on the side: "Whose official sedan chair is this, and there is such a big pomp?" ”

"Who else? Isn't it the protector Gongjiang Xinghe and his wife Li Shuqi, who will bully and oppress the people! The vendor said indignantly.

Li Shuqi? Is she related to Li Yuqi? Mei Jiaxing muttered in his heart. Just then, the unexpected happened.

Seeing that the four of them were scattered by the oncoming team, Li Yuqi was accidentally knocked down by the officers and soldiers because he couldn't dodge, so he fell and injured the elbow of his right arm. Liu Ruotian was about to go over to find them to theorize, but was stopped by Li Yuqi.

At this time, Jiang Xinghe's sedan chair had been carried into Liquanfang, and the other sedan chair followed by Mrs. Li Shuqi's. Li Shuqi heard someone scolding outside the sedan car, so he decided to lift the sedan curtain to check it.

After Li Shuqi lifted the sedan curtain, he just saw Liu Ruotian who was squatting on the ground to check Li Yuqi's injuries. After Liu Ruotian saw Li Shuqi in the sedan chair, he immediately glanced at her, and kept muttering something in his mouth.

At this moment, Li Shuqi saw an oval red birthmark the size of an egg on the outside of Li Yuqi's right arm. After seeing this birthmark, Li Shuqi's face suddenly changed, because her own brother also had a birthmark on his right arm that was exactly the same.

Li Yuqi saw Li Shuqi staring at him intently, and felt that this woman seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.

I saw the woman looking at Li Yuqi with tears in her eyes, mixed with joy and sorrow, that kind of familiar look always made Li Yuqi feel as if she was familiar with her.

The sedan chair gradually moved away, and Li Shuqi then slowly lowered the sedan curtain, and she was already crying silently at this time.

"Do you know her? Why did that woman seem to be so sad when she saw you? After the team left, Liu Ruotian asked Li Yuqi.

"That look is so familiar, it reminds me of my sister. It's just that my sister and I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't seem to have any impression now. Li Yuqi replied.

"Sister? You also have a sister! How come I've never heard you mention it! Liu Ruotian was even more puzzled. However, he doesn't like to get to the bottom of things like Mei Jiaxing, Liu Ruotian saw that Li Yuqi didn't want to say anything, so he didn't continue to ask.

At this time, Mei Jiaxing and Mei Yuchen walked over. Mei Jiaxing told Li Yuqi that the woman's name was Li Shuqi, and after hearing this, Li Yuqi wanted to know the truth of the matter even more, because he was also very familiar with the name Mei Jiaxing said.

At the same time, Li Shuqi's heart was also full of doubts about this, so after returning home, Li Shuqi drew a portrait of Li Yuqi on paper with his own memory, and ordered someone to secretly search for it in Chang'an City. After many inquiries, she finally learned where Li Yuqi was located, so she secretly sent someone to deliver a letter, wanting to ask Li Yuqi to have a secret conversation in a teahouse in the west of the city, saying that there was something important to discuss. And after Li Yuqi received the letter, he couldn't wait to be invited, and he also wanted to find out the ins and outs of this matter as soon as possible.

Li Shuqi wanted to come alone, after all, the stakes were high, but she was nominally Jiang Xinghe's wife, and in fact, the power was still in Jiang Xinghe's hands. And Jiang Xinghe's discipline over her has become stricter and stricter in recent years, and if she wants to go out to do errands, she must be protected, which is said to be for her personal safety, but in fact, it is just to monitor her every move at all times. In order not to arouse Jiang Xinghe's suspicion, Li Shuqi had to bring a few trusted guards to disguise themselves and accompany her for protection, which also caused her movement to be restricted everywhere, and there was no personal freedom at all.

After coming to the teahouse, Li Shuqi deliberately found a separate room and ordered someone to guard outside, while she was waiting for Li Yuqi's arrival.

When he was young, Li Yuqi went to the appointment on time. He pushed the door open and saw a woman sitting at the table. When she saw Li Yuqi appear, she immediately got up and greeted her with a smile.

I saw that the woman was dressed plainly and behaved generously, about thirty years old. It's just that there seem to be some wrinkles between the eyebrows, and his face is haggard and slightly old, and it seems that his clothes are slightly inconsistent with his appearance, and he seems to have been weathered. It's just that the familiar eyes have not changed, and they can still bring Li Yuqi a kind of spiritual comfort.

The two sat down to ask and answer, and after some understanding, they were surprised to find that they were actually sisters and brothers.

Because they were afraid that the wall would have ears and leak the wind, the two communicated in a low voice from beginning to end. Even if the two were reunited after a long absence, they did not hug each other and cry, but tried their best to suppress all the feelings in their hearts and think about it in the long run.

Unexpectedly, the meeting between the two gradually involved a little-known old matter, a shocking conspiracy.

The cause of the incident began fifteen years ago, when Li Shuqi was only fourteen years old, and his younger brother Li Yuqi was not yet four years old. Because their parents died suddenly after this inexplicably, the two could only rely on their grandfather, who was nearly half a hundred years old.

One day, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly broke into Li's house and searched his house in the name of routine official business, and the person who took the lead was the current Protector Gongjiang Xinghe. As for why Jiang Xinghe suddenly led troops to search a civilian's home, I am afraid that only Jiang Xinghe's mastermind behind this will know.

And when the officers and soldiers searched the Li family, Jiang Xinghe was fascinated by the petite and lovely Li Shuqi. He saw that Li Shuqi was handsome, so his greed suddenly rose, and after he went back, Jiang Xinghe sent people to the door several times to propose marriage, but they were all refused.

Li Shuqi originally thought that he would be annoyed and angry, and then act excessively to cause unnecessary trouble, but he didn't want Jiang Xinghe to make things difficult in every way, but to take good care of her. Not only that, Jiang Xinghe also made a special promise to Li Shuqi that as long as Li Shuqi was willing to marry him, he would be good to Li Shuqi for the rest of his life.

After all, Li Shuqi was still too young at that time, and when it came to wisdom and city, she was Jiang Xinghe's opponent. Although Jiang Xinghe was much older than Li Shuqi at that time, Li Shuqi, who had nothing to do, was still carried away by the so-called sweet love and blinded. The young and ignorant Li Shuqi was deceived by his rhetoric, and Li Shuqi was already in danger at that time, but she didn't know it yet. In Li Shuqi's opinion, his family conditions are not very good, and it is not impossible to marry such a powerful person who can be civil, martial and powerful.

Li Shuqi originally thought that she had finally lived a life of happiness and could finally let her younger brother and grandfather rely on her, but what she never expected was that when she got married, the previous vows and alliances would disappear. Since Jiang Xinghe's conspiracy succeeded successfully, he seems to have changed as a different person, and his feelings for Li Shuqi have begun to fade day by day. Not only that, but in the following years, Jiang Xinghe continued to marry wives and concubines. Li Shuqi had wanted to escape from the wolf's den many times, but he didn't expect Jiang Xinghe to threaten the lives of his grandfather and brother, and Li Shuqi could only compromise in order to protect them.

At that time, because Li Yuqi was young, he didn't know about this matter, and because Li Shuqi had never left Chang'an City for fifteen years, so now the sister and brother can see each other again.

Five years ago, Li Yuqi was chased by the people of the Guogong Mansion for stealing things in Jiang Xinghe's mansion, which was another concubine ceremony of Jiang Xinghe, and such a ceremony has been more than ten times so far.

Li Shuqi learned from Li Yuqi's mouth that her grandfather had passed away many years ago, and Li Yuqi had suffered so much, she wanted to cry, but she didn't. And Li Yuqi was also indignant after listening to Li Shuqi's narration, he wanted to take revenge on Jiang Xinghe, but Li Shuqi told him that Jiang Xinghe has many eyes and ears, and he must not act rashly, so as not to cause further trouble.

Sure enough, at this moment, there was a pair of ears eavesdropping outside the door, but he didn't hear any key information, but the people inside who stayed outside the door for a long time must have noticed.

Li Yuqi vaguely saw a person sneaking outside through the door, who seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, so he came to the door and opened the door suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a person standing by the door. Because the door opened so fast, the man didn't have time to leave in time, and the embarrassed eavesdropper didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing standing here?" Li Yuqi asked Shi Yongning.

"Uh...... Nothing, I ...... I just wanted to come and ask Madame what she needed. Shi Yongning finally prevaricated, and he was so frightened that he sweated down.

Li Shuqi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that it was Shi Yongning outside the door. Shi Yongning has followed him for many years, and he can even be said to be his confidant, he will actually eavesdrop outside, it seems that his side is really killing step by step, and he must not take it lightly.

After Li Shuqi and Li Yuqi discussed, they left the teahouse. On the way back to China, Shi Yongning found that someone was following him, so he chased after him to see who that person was.

It turned out that it was Mei Jiaxing who was idle and curious.

He saw Li Yuqi quietly walking out of the general's mansion, so he secretly followed Li Yuqi to the teahouse. Mei Jiaxing, who found nothing in the teahouse, then followed Li Shuqi to get some information, but was noticed by Shi Yongning, so Mei Jiaxing ran away.

Shi Yongning chased after him, Mei Jiaxing fell to the ground from exhaustion, Shi Yongning put the knife on his neck and forced Mei Jiaxing to follow the reason.

"You...... How daring! I warn you, I'm the son of Mei Chengye, the servant of the ministry, how many heads do you have, dare to do this to me! ”

"Boy, listen to me, if you dare to follow us again in the future, be careful of your dog's life!"

Shi Yongning was about to turn around and leave after warning Mei Jiaxing, but he was bumped into by Liu Ruotian who heard the news.

"Another bullying dog minion! - Yo-he! It turned out to be you, this is really a narrow road! ”

Shi Yongning in front of Liu Ruotian was the arrogant guard who cut his left shoulder and almost killed him, but now Shi Yongning has become the commander.

"Boy, you're trying to get beaten again, aren't you?" The naïve Shi Yongning thought that Liu Ruotian was the milky hairy boy five years ago, and he dared to speak so frivolously!

I saw that Shi Yongning raised his knife and slashed without saying a word, and when he saw the blade flying, Liu Ruotian easily flashed sideways. Shi Yongning thought to himself, why is this kid so flexible?

Before Shi Yongning could come to his senses, Liu Ruotian had already appeared behind him, dislocating Shi Yongning's right arm in an instant. Shi Yongning turned around and picked up the knife on the ground with his left hand and fled in disgrace.

"Brother-in-law! What are you doing here? Mei Jiaxing asked in surprise.

"You also said that if your sister hadn't found out that you were missing in time and asked me to come out and look for you, you might have caused some trouble by now! Don't run around at every turn, it's dangerous, you know! After speaking, Liu Ruotian was about to leave.

"Yo Yo Yo! Don't even call Yuchen? Changed your name to sister? You've finally admitted it! Hahahahaha...... "Mei Jiaxing obviously took Liu Ruotian's words as a deaf ear.

"You, you're really ......" Liu Ruotian shook his head helplessly and sighed, taking the first step. Mei Jiaxing also followed closely and walked in the direction of home together.
