After Zhao Tangming left, Luo Xiaoran hurried home to find Sun Qingyuan and asked if there was any misunderstanding between them.

After Sun Qingyuan assigned two large characters to Luo Xingchen, he came out leisurely and followed Luo Xiaoran to the front hall.

Sun Qingyuan sat down on the stool with such skillful movements and relaxed posture that Luo Xiaoran thought this was the Sun Mansion instead of the Luo residence.

As soon as the private school is built, I will send Sun Qingyuan there immediately, Luo Xiaoran thought.

"I don't have any grudge against him, but he and my dad grew up together naked." Sun Qingyuan said lazily.

"Oh?" Luo Xiaoran also became interested and found a stool to sit down. "Tell me more about it."

"This Zhao Tangming is my father's neighbor. The shabby house I live in Hedong Village is where my father used to live. So it can be considered our ancestral home..."

"Just pick out the main points!"

Luo Xiaoran warned Sun Qingyuan with her beautiful eyes and cold eyes. Although her tone was calm, it made Sun Qingyuan feel a chill on his back and he couldn't help but sit up straight.

“Zhao Tangming and my father were both poor children, so we both wanted to earn more money so that our family could have enough food and clothing.

To this end, my father went from street to street doing business.

Zhao Tangming and my father's ideas are completely different. They always say "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans". They are farmers now, so how can they lower their status to become merchants? They should study, take the imperial examinations, and become scholars respected by everyone.

The two people had different ideas, so they parted ways.

My father might be a good businessman. His business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has fulfilled his promise to provide my family with food and clothing.

However, Zhao Tangming was not a good student. After so many years of taking the imperial examinations, even my father's son, Sun Qingyuan, passed the exam and became a scholar, but he was still just a student.

Zhao Tangming ran away as soon as he heard my name. He probably felt ashamed because of his past with my father!"

Luo Xiaoran nodded, and then she understood the whole story.

"Then will you look down on him?" Luo Xiaoran asked again.

Sun Qingyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly, "Why should I interfere in the affairs between two old men?"

After saying that, he walked towards the study room at the back, leaving Luo Xiaoran behind with a slightly helpless look.

"By the way," Sun Qingyuan stopped as he was about to leave the hall, turned around and asked, "Why haven't I seen that little girl Du Kongqing these days?"

Luo Xiaoran's beautiful eyes sparkled, her red lips curled up slightly, and she said loudly: "What are you interfering in between us girls?"

Sun Qingyuan was choked, but due to Luo Xiaoran's pressure, he left without saying anything.

Fate is so wonderful. Not long after Sun Qingyuan left, Du Kongqing, whom he was talking about, came.

As soon as he entered the door, he quickly poured two cups of tea and drank them down, then he excitedly reported to Luo Xiaoran:

“I saw someone with a broken hand!”

"Who?"

"Li Xinghua."

"Zhang Erhe's wife Li Xinghua?" Luo Xiaoran asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's her!" Du Kongqing answered affirmatively.

“I saw that her left hand was wrapped with a piece of cloth and her movements were very stiff.

When I asked her what happened, she just said that she cut her hand while cooking yesterday, but her expression was quite unnatural, so she must be lying.

Luo Xiaoran nodded, "I sent her man to see the official, she had a motive to harm me.

In addition, the village chief said that it was too dark and he could only barely see that the person who destroyed the wooden bridge was of a strong build and guessed that it was a man.

Although Li Xinghua is a woman, she is tall and strong and fits the description of the village chief. It is most likely her. "

At this time, Du Kongqing had announced to the public that he had "recovered from his serious illness". The red rash on his face disappeared without a trace. He took off his veil, revealing his little face that had turned a little pale from being covered.

She frowned, somewhat incredulous:

"That day An Ruquan came to my house to cause trouble, and Yu Hongmei was clamoring for me to be his concubine. Li Xinghua also spoke up for me and contradicted Yu Hongmei. She seemed like an upright person."

"Eh——" Luo Xiaoran said in an exaggerated tone:

"Yu Hongmei started a commotion at your doorstep, asking you to be An Ruquan's concubine, so why were you so kind as to let her take a ride to the county town?"

Hearing Luo Xiaoran's doubts, Du Kongqing's face almost turned green:

"I remember she was talking nonsense at the door of my house, but when I met her that day, I thought I had seen a ghost at first sight. I wanted to take a silver needle and die together with the female ghost."

Du Kongqing still feels a little scared when he recalls the day when Yu Hongmei wandered around the village with disheveled hair.

"Xiao Ran, you don't know, she looked so pitiful, I let her get in the car out of pity, but who knew she was going to the county town to file a complaint against me!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past. Human nature is complicated. You should be able to fully understand it just from Yu Hongmei.

So let's ask Li Xinghua in person why she would destroy the bridge and harm others! "
