Spring River Chasing the Moon

Li Muzhi's words were like a bomb, exploding in Chen Lili's heart.

She couldn't help but think of the injustice and inner grievances her husband had suffered in the past few years.

"Dad, Mom..." There was disbelief in Chen Lili's tone, as well as a hint of expectation and caution.

She hoped that Luo Zhong would no longer suffer from his mother's favoritism, but she knew that it was useless to just speculate on this matter.

"The difficulty now is that we can't rely on our own guesses to suspect anything, especially since the Nan family won't cooperate with us."

"What we can do is, first, determine whether the two children were truly taken away by mistake. If our suspicion is correct, then secondly, whether the mistake was accidental or intentional... we also need to investigate thoroughly."

Chen laid out the matter and analyzed it in detail.

"You and Zhong have been married for several years. Have you noticed anything wrong in the Luo family?"

Chen Lili shook her head. It was not that she couldn't think of anything wrong, but there were too many things happening, and they had become part of daily life, and she had even become accustomed to it.

"There are so many things. She constantly blames Ah Zhong and doesn't care about him at all. When she has money, she gives it to her eldest son, and when she doesn't have money, she asks her youngest son for help. She doesn't even care about Youyou at all... I can't understand it, and I can't accept it."

"If you can't love every child equally, why have three?"

"Now that this has happened, all the things that were previously incomprehensible have become reasonable."

"Judging from her attitude over the years, if the child was really swapped, it must have been intentional. She doesn't consider Ah Zhong her own child."

"but……"

Chen Lili thought of her father-in-law, Luo Jiasheng.

"But my father-in-law is very good to Ah Zhong. In fact, he favors Ah Zhong the most among the three children. It's just that he rarely takes care of the trivial matters of the household."

Chen Lili was very conflicted. According to her observations over the years, Luo Jiasheng was not the kind of person who was very thoughtful. He was always open and honest in everything he did. How could he hide something so deeply?

Li Muzhi saw what his daughter was thinking and reminded her at the right time.

"Maybe, Ah Zhong's father doesn't know about this either?"

Chen Lili was stunned when she heard Li Muzhi's words.

She suddenly felt a chill on her back. This was too ridiculous.

"I'm getting goosebumps now. Mom and Dad, are we really not going to tell the Nan family? If this is true, then Yang Qian is making her own child the son of the Nan family and letting other people's children work like slaves for her. This is such malicious and selfish harm."

Chen Ze and Li Muzhi also began to hesitate...

"Li Li, do you think You You might know something?"

Chen Ze suddenly asked.

"Yes?"

Chen Lili wondered why his father suddenly asked this.

"Your mother and I have analyzed it. Ever since Youyou came to us alone that day, we seem to have gradually seen through Yang Qian."

"If it weren't for Youyou, maybe your mother, Zhong, and I wouldn't have made up our minds to return to South City. Do you think all this is just a coincidence?"

"Your mother thinks that Youyou must have known something, so she expressed all the bad things Yang Qian did to her because she realized that Yang Qian might not be her grandmother and she couldn't trust her anymore."

Li Muzhi continued with what Chen Ze said.

"Don't think that the child is young and doesn't understand anything. Youyou is a sensitive child. I believe she has long felt Yang Qian's bias towards her. She never mentioned it before, and didn't even cry or make a fuss. She has always been very close to Yang Qian. But now her attitude towards Yang Qian is completely different. I believe she must have learned something that has fundamentally changed her inner feelings."

Chen Lili originally didn't want her daughter to be involved in this matter, but she had to admit that what Li Muzhi said made sense.

Indeed, she has recently discovered that Luo Youyou's personality has changed a lot, and she still has to find a solution from the root of the problem. After all, they have no better solution.

Luo Youyou slept until dawn. He didn't get enough rest the day before yesterday, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow yesterday.

When she sat up from the bed, Chen Lili pushed the door open and came in.

She was afraid that Luo Youyou was still asleep, so she moved gently and softly.

"woke up?"

Seeing Luo Youyou sitting in the middle of the bed in a daze, Chen Lili's heart softened.

"Mother."

Luo Youyou stretched out her arms, wanting Chen Lili to hug her.

Chen Lili immediately stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hug Luo Youyou in her arms.

The two of them stayed together for a while before letting go.

"Mom, don't you have classes today?" Luo Youyou found that it was past work time, but Chen Lili was still at home.

Chen Lili paused while she was putting on her clothes, and continued to button up Luo Youyou's clothes.

"Mom doesn't have classes this morning, so can I stay home with you?"

"Great."

Luo Youyou jumped up excitedly.

At the same time, she knew that her mother must have discussed it with her grandfather and others, and now it all depended on her acting skills.

After breakfast, Luo Youyou deliberately did not go directly into the studio, but sat in the living room, drinking water slowly.

The three adults standing by looked at her, not knowing how to start.

"Yes, grandpa is asking you, do you think grandma is okay?"

Chen thought about it for a long time and felt that he shouldn't be too direct.

When Luo Youyou heard this question, he didn't say anything, but his expression seemed not as bright as before. He lowered his head and drank water, as if he had a lot of grievances but couldn't say them out.

"I don't like it... Grandma..." After a long silence, Luo Youyou finally spoke, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, as if she was afraid of being scolded for saying that.

Chen Lili and the others saw this and became even more dissatisfied with Yang Qian.

"Did anything happen when Youyou and grandma were at home? Or did Youyou hear or see anything?"

Li Muzhi approached Luo Youyou, reached out to stroke her head, and coaxed her patiently.

"For example, did Grandma tell you anything about Dad?"

Luo Youyou thought for a while and nodded.

"Grandma told my uncle that we shouldn't have brought Dad home. We should have left him outside to fend for himself."

"Grandma is so bad. I don't like her."

Luo Youyou's words surprised the three adults, and they were about 80% sure of their guess.

"Yes, yes, are you sure grandma really said such words to uncle?"

Chen Lili asked again. It was such a big thing, and she was afraid that Luo Youyou might have remembered it wrong or not fully expressed the original meaning.

Luo Youyou nodded firmly.

"Grandma also said that Dad would never achieve anything successful in his life."

These words were all fabricated by Luo Youyou. Yang Qian only told the secret of the child swap to Luo Jiasheng before her death, and did not tell anyone else, including Luo Youyou's uncle. She was afraid that if others let the secret slip, her children would never be able to enjoy wealth and glory again.

Chen Lili and the others didn't expect that Yang Qian's mind was so vicious. Li Muzhi hugged Luo Youyou tightly and patted her back as if to comfort her.

Chen Ze slapped the armrest of the chair, startling everyone.

He thought that Youyou had been curious about Nanzhou Yue's affairs. It must be because Yang Qian had been paying attention to Nanzhou Yue's family for so many years, so Youyou stayed by her side. Even such a young child knew that Nanzhou Yue was a big shot in Nancheng.
