After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Chapter 662 Extra 1: Li Xue's Investigation (BG)

Upon learning that the eldest lady had suddenly passed away due to illness, Li Xue's first reaction was disbelief. Someone must have harmed the eldest lady!

Ever since the Chen family came to seek refuge, especially since the Madam and the second daughter often came to the house to accompany the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter's health has become worse and worse!

The eldest daughter knew that her health was not good, and her son-in-law was about to achieve great things, so the eldest daughter only thought about her son in her last few years!

"Mrs. Qiong, you love jewelry the most, and you have a talent for business! I have something I want to entrust to you..."

The eldest daughter sorted out her dowry and the gifts that had been sent to her by her descendants over the years and placed them all over the yard.

"Mrs. Qiong, I will ship these things out in batches. These are the escape routes I leave for Jingchen!"

Now the son-in-law has four sons. The second son born to the concubine Liu is only one year younger than his own young master Jingchen!

In the future... I'm afraid that Master will have more sons. Master Jingchen is already in a difficult situation as the eldest son. If he loses his mother...

The eldest lady has accompanied her brother-in-law all the way and has given up on him a long time ago. But no matter what, if her brother-in-law ascends the throne to become emperor, the crown prince must be her own Master Jingchen!

"The emperor is ruthless. Jingchen will have no one to protect him in the future. It will be difficult for him to take any steps! I have no other choice but to prepare more money for Jingchen!"

Madam Qiong looked at the boxes full of gold, silver and jade, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the eldest lady. She would definitely not let the eldest lady down!

"I'll let Li Xue go with you. She's very good at martial arts and can protect you at the critical moment!"

Although most of the country has been conquered by the Liang army, there are already many refugees and bandits. It would be safer for Qiong Niang to have Li Xue accompany her.

Li Xue didn't know how to do business, she only had martial arts skills. Usually, Feng Yao gave her guidance and care. Madam Yan and Madam Qiong also took good care of the two maids, so she gradually became a little lax.

It was not until a month later when she and Madam Qiong left the Liang Mansion that Li Xue realized the final sadness of the others and understood the good intentions of the eldest lady!

Li Xue wanted to rush back to the Liang Mansion immediately. She wanted to find out the cause of the eldest lady's death, but she was worried about Madam Qiong!

Madam Qiong also wanted to come back immediately, but she could no longer appear in front of the Chen family. She could only let Li Xue, who was good at kung fu, come back to pay homage to the eldest lady on her behalf!

"Li Xue, I can do this myself! You must light a stick of incense for the young lady and kowtow to her!"

"I suspect something has happened to Yan Niang and Feng Yao, otherwise they would have sent a message. When you go back this time, stay by Master Jing Chen's side to protect him!"

"I……"

Li Xue was in a difficult situation. She was also worried about Madam Qiong, so she had no choice but to go back to Liang Mansion to check the situation first!

When Li Xue learned that Feng Yao had died to save Master Jingchen, she knew she had to stay.

"Shen Zhi is investigating the Chen family..."

Madam Yan finally found an opportunity and sent a letter out of the house. Li Xue was investigating outside on her own and it was easy for her to run into Shen Zhi.

That day in the cave on the top of the mountain, Li Xue recognized Shen Zhi at a glance, but... Li Xue couldn't understand why Shen Zhi chose to worship the eldest lady so late at night.

Li Xue couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to ask!

If this matter were to be known by other people, it would ruin the eldest lady's reputation!

Therefore, Li Xue did not tell anyone about what happened in the cave on the top of the mountain, including Madam Yan and Madam Qiong!

"Shen Zhi! I'll meet you tonight!"

When Li Xue arrived at Shen's house, she found that Shen Zhi's yard was quiet, but the door of the study was open.

"Mr. Shen has been waiting for Miss Li Xue for a long time!"

Shen Zhi and Li Xue reached a cooperation intention and decided to work together to investigate the real cause of Mrs. Chen's death. Li Xue then temporarily lived in Shen's house!

……

A few months later, Shen Zhi presented the results of the investigation to the general, and the rest of the matters were no longer Shen Zhi's business!

Shen Zhi now just wants to go home as soon as possible because Li Xue is locked at home!

When Li Xue found out the truth, she wanted to tell Master Jingchen and Madam Yan immediately. Shen Zhi had to stop her because he was afraid something might happen!

Mrs. Chen's health was not good to begin with, but she died at such a young age, which must have been caused by someone.

But... the person who did it was not Miss Chen Er as everyone suspected, but the mistress of the Chen family!

As soon as Li Xue was untied, she swung her right fist out. She actually believed Shen Zhi's lies. What evidence could she get by going back to his study with him!

Shen Zhi leaned back to dodge when he saw this, but Li Xue's left arm had not been completely untied at this time, so Li Xue had to turn around and untie the rope first.

As Li Xue untied the rope, she stared at Shen Zhi! Shen Zhi stood there quietly, waiting for Li Xue to untie the rope.

Shen Zhi and Li Xue had a fierce fight, but Li Xue was ultimately defeated by Shen Zhi!

Shen Zhi grabbed Li Xue's left arm with his right hand and pulled Li Xue's entire arm behind his back.

He grabbed Li Xue's other hand with his left hand and used his height advantage to lock Li Xue's neck.

Li Xue was pressed against the wall of the study, her left arm was unable to move beside her, and her right arm was also tightly controlled.

"Shen Zhi! What exactly do you want?"

"I just don't want you to act impulsively. The general already knows the truth and has sent people to protect Master Jingchen!"

"So what? Will he avenge the young lady? He won't!"

"Li Xue, be careful with your words!"

Shen Zhi scolded Li Xue harshly. Originally, Shen Zhi shouldn't have said much about his position and identity, but... he didn't want Li Xue to go and die!

"Li Xue, listen to me quietly for a few words. If you still want to seek revenge after I finish speaking, I will never stop you!"

"What do you want to say?"

Li Xue knew that she was impulsive at the moment. Even if she left the Shen residence, she would not really go to find the young master from the capital.

In fact, Li Xue really needs someone to give her some advice now, but Li Xue can't find anyone more suitable than Shen Zhi.

"Your top priority is not to avenge Madam Chen, but to ensure the safety of Master Jingchen and that his status as the eldest son will not be threatened!"

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Master Jingchen is still too young. You broke into the Chen family alone. How likely do you think you are to come out safely?"

"Don't tell me, are you confident that Madam Yan will protect Master Jingchen all by herself until he grows up? Will she protect Master Jingchen and fight for the supreme position in the future?"

Shen Zhi lowered his voice and moved closer to Li Xue. These words were really not what he should say!

At this moment, the two of them were very close to each other and could feel each other's breath. If someone saw them, they would definitely think that they were hugging each other.

Li Xue also knew the inside story, and no one else knew it except Shen Zhi. General Liang might not want Young Master Jingchen to know the inside story.

Once this matter leaked out, Shen Zhi didn't want to receive the next task, which was to silence Li Xue.

"Please let me go! I won't be impulsive anymore! I'll go back to protect Master Jingchen!"

After hearing what Shen Zhi said, Li Xue quickly calmed down. She had to ensure the safety of Master Jingchen first!

Li Xue, who was almost at the door of the study, suddenly stopped, raised her sore arm and tidied up her messy hair.

Li Xue turned around to face Shen Zhi and bowed politely to express her gratitude!

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!"
