The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"That's not a big deal..."

"Since that's not the case, control your temper in the future and don't yell at Xiaoshu all the time, making others think that we have become enemies with Xiaoshu!"

"I don't care what others think."

"..."

Li Yan shook his head, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and turned directly to their private room.

But Li Shen caught up with him, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you lately? Why do you always say something to me? You were never like this before!"

Li Yan slapped his hand away and ignored him.

He had previously carefully investigated those who claimed to have seen Xiaoshu pushing Yuer into the water.

Although nothing was found, something strange was discovered.

Those people's statements were almost exactly the same!

But even if those people were standing in the same direction and saw the same scene, their accounts could not be the same!

Because everyone has their own speaking habits and ways of expression, and because of their different identities, their knowledge will also be different, so their statements after being questioned will naturally not be the same!

However, no matter how much he investigated, he did not find any close connections between those people, so it was unlikely that they had colluded with each other in advance.

So he was at a loss for a while.

It wasn't until the fourth brother explained to them what happened before and after the fight between the third brother and Ning Jin that he mentioned the word hypnosis!

Although that made him understand why those people said the same thing, it also made him fall into other questions.

That is, even if Yu'er not only hypnotized Ning Jin, but also dragged Xiao Shu into the water to frame her in order to alienate Ning Jin and Xiao Shu, when did she hypnotize those people?

He asked many people who attended the banquet that day, and those who saw Yu'er and Xiaoshu said that Yu'er and Xiaoshu were almost inseparable that day!

Then he was at a loss again and didn't know how to face Yu'er!

Naturally, he felt very dissatisfied with the third brother who still defended Yu'er and blamed Xiaoshu as always!

Elsewhere, Li Shu greeted Yin Wanyu and took a seat at her suggestion. After a while, Yin Wanyu finally spoke, "There's a new play called The Villain at Kongquetai recently. Have you heard of it?"

Li Shu shook her head.

Yin Wanyu slowly began to tell her, "The heroine in that play was abandoned by her father before she was even born. But her mother told her that her father was missing. So when she grew up, she went through untold hardships to finally find her father, only to discover that he already had another family and had become a powerful figure in the capital thanks to the woman's support. When she went to his house, not only did his father disown her, he even wanted to kill her to silence her. So, after she escaped with the help of others, she decided to change her name and appearance and return to the capital for revenge..."

At this point, Yin Wanyu paused and looked deeply at Li Shu before continuing, "Her method of revenge is to travel to the border, approach her half-brothers, and the husband of her younger sister, who was raised with such care by her father. Then, she will marry her brother-in-law, take away everything her younger sister has, and then poison her brother and father to death."

Take away everything my sister has?

When Li Shu thought about how Xie Yu had taken away everything from her in her dream, she couldn't help but become interested in the play.

Yin Wanyu continued, "Today's performance is the third. I've been invited to see it once before, but I found it very interesting, so I sent you an invitation. I think... you will find it very interesting too. After you finish watching, we can talk business."

Li Shu's heart skipped a beat.

The real thing should be to adopt her as his granddaughter, right?

Before she could say anything, there was already movement on the stage.

The stage of Peacock Terrace is the largest among all the theaters in Beijing.

It can accommodate hundreds or even more people performing at the same time.

At this time, the first person to appear was a lady dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was surrounded by her maids and looked forward to it.

The next person to appear was a general wearing armor and riding a maroon warhorse. He was holding a woman in white in his arms, and was followed by twenty or thirty guards.

For some reason, she immediately thought of the day when Ning Jin returned triumphantly.

She dressed up early in the morning and looked out at the gate of the mansion.

The moment she heard the familiar sound of horse hooves, she was so happy that she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly directly to him.

Then, the moment he rode into her sight, she saw a woman in his arms, and her heart sank instantly.

Because it's not so much that he is chaste as it is that he has mysophobia and he hates any woman except her and his mother touching him.

If that woman wasn't very important to him, he wouldn't have been able to ride back with her in his arms like that.

But she never thought at that time that he would just say "I'm back" to her and then carry her into the mansion.

So at that time she was already thinking that he might have fallen in love with that girl.

But Xie Yu said that Ning Jin was so anxious because the wound on her body had broken and needed to be treated with medicine and re-bandaged as soon as possible.

She also kept asking her not to misunderstand, saying how much Ning Jin missed her while he was away and how he talked about her all day long.

Ning Jin also repeatedly stated that she and Xie Yu were innocent, and only then did she put aside her doubts...

Thinking of this, Li Shu realized that she had been distracted by recalling the past. When she looked at the stage again, the lines spoken by the woman in white on the stage were "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand. Brother Xu is just too loyal, so he treats me, his savior, extra well. He only has you, sister-in-law, in his heart."

Li Shu was too familiar with those words!

Whether in the past or in her dreams, Xie Yu was always on her lips!

So she immediately turned and looked at Yin Wanyu.

Unexpectedly, Yin Wanyu was looking at her and immediately asked her with a smile, "Do you see the interesting part of this play?"

Li Shu nodded, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because she cared a lot about why Lin Yuan had never mentioned this play to her!

After Yin Wanyu looked at her deeply, she signaled Yaofang to close the doors and windows in front of her.

After the outside noise was partially blocked out, Yin Wanyu said, "It's more interesting to watch a play from the beginning. I'll come with you another day to catch up on the first and second acts before watching this third act. Now let's get down to business."

Li Shu nodded again.

But what she thought was that after the discussion she had to go find Lin Yuan and ask him about it.

However, she thought Yin Wanyu would directly tell her that she wanted to adopt her as her granddaughter, but Yin Wanyu asked her, "When your mother was alive, she probably never told you that I knew her and that we were quite close, right?"

At the same time, Lin Yuan was grabbing Lin An's ear and asking, "Tell me, why did you hide such an interesting play from me?"
