The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Li Shouhua always had a question, which was why Wang Gang had been helping the Li family.

At first, Li Shouhua thought that Wang Gang saved the Li family from danger because he saw injustice and came to the rescue.

But as they came to Bian Jing, Wang Gang would spare no effort to help them whenever they encountered trouble. After one or two times, Li Shouhua had to doubt Wang Gang's purpose.

It’s not that Li Shouhua has a mean heart, but the mother and daughter of the Li family have encountered too much deception and betrayal along the way, and Li Shouhua is afraid.

Wang Gang could basically guess what Li Shouhua was thinking, but he also had his own secrets.

"Ms. Li, please rest assured. I have no ill will towards the Li family, and I have no covetous intentions towards you sisters." Wang Gang said sincerely.

Behind the screen, Li Shouhua's figure moved, then quickly calmed down and said, "Sir Wang, you and I are not related, and your repeated help not only makes me feel uneasy, but also easily causes misunderstandings from others.

After all, my sisters are still unmarried. If they spread a bad reputation with Lord Wang, it will inevitably affect their future marriages."

Wang Gang sighed: "Mrs. Li is so devoted to her sister, has she never thought about her own happiness?"

Li Shouhua said without hesitation: "I have been calm for a long time. I just want my mother to be safe and my sisters to have a good home."

Wang Gang sighed: "Mrs. Li is only in her early twenties. You still have a lot of time to live. Why don't you think more about yourself?"

Li Shouhua said: "Master Wang, please don't worry about this. Please answer my question just now."

Wang Gang saw that changing the subject was ineffective, so he could only say: "I can only tell you that I was entrusted by someone to help the Li family."

Li Shouhua was about to ask who had entrusted him to do this, but Wang Gang interrupted him and said, "The other party is of a very high status. It may not be a good thing for you to know. Don't ask me anymore. I will never tell you."

The room soon fell silent. Li Shouhua spoke after a long while: "Can I know if the other party has any ill intentions towards my Li family?"

Wang Gang said righteously: "I can only say that the other party has only good intentions towards the Li family, and absolutely no ill intentions!"

Li Shouhua suddenly became excited and said anxiously: "The other party is a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old!"

Wang Gang knew that Li Shouhua was thinking of his younger brother who was washed away by the flood and disappeared.

"Mrs. Li, please don't ask anymore. I really do this for your own good and the Li family. That person has a special identity, and it will not benefit you if you know too much about him." Wang Gang sighed.

"I just want to know whether he is a man or a woman, and how old he is. Is that not enough?" Li Shouhua's voice trembled slightly, and there was no trace of the calmness she said.

Wang Gang's heart trembled, and he felt a little bit reluctant, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I swore that I would never reveal the other party's identity information. Please don't embarrass me, Madam Li."

Li Shouhua did not hide behind the screen this time, but walked out directly, his eyes slightly red, and said: "Master Wang, did you guess what I was thinking!?"

Wang Gang took a half step back and distanced himself from Li Shouhua. In fact, they were now in a discord with each other.

"Mrs. Li, please respect yourself." Wang Gang said seriously.

Li Shouhua stopped and a line of tears slid down his face.

"My family has been looking for Fan'er for many years, and my mother has been praying in every temple, just praying that my poor brother can be safe and healthy." Li Shouhua said sadly:
"I don't ask for a family reunion, I just want my brother to be alive."

Wang Gang felt Li Shouhua's deep longing for him, but knowing too much about some things would be bad for the Li family.

"Madam Li, I can only tell you that he will come to Bianjing to meet you in a year at the latest and three years at the longest."

Li Shouhua's eyes lit up. Although Wang Gang did not say it explicitly, she understood the implication of his words.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li Shouhua said gratefully.

"You're welcome. I have a life-long friendship with that man. He asked me to help the Li family. If you need anything, just let me know." Wang Gang said, patting his chest.

Li Shouhua shook her head. She was so confused at the moment that she couldn't think of anything else.

Wang Gang could only say goodbye. When he opened the door, Qiong Nu was standing there with a complicated expression.

"Goodbye." Wang Gang left quickly, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would reveal the man's identity. As soon as Wang Gang left, Qiong Nu rushed into the room and asked Li Shouhua excitedly: "Sister, is Fan'er really not dead? Why didn't he recognize us for so many years?"

Li Shouhua covered his chest and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Qiong Nu, you must keep in your heart what you heard today. Since Lord Wang said that the man will meet us, it will only take three years. We can wait." Li Shouhua advised.

"Should I tell mother?" Qiong Nu said at a loss.

"No, not yet." Li Shouhua said seriously: "Fan'er's identity has not been confirmed yet, don't tell mother yet, so as not to be disappointed."

"But if it really is Fan'er, will mother blame me when she finds out?" Qiong Nu said nervously.

"Lord Wang has not given in yet, and I am not sure. Let's talk about it after some time." Li Shouhua said seriously.

Qiong Nu couldn't help but think of the only person in the Li family who treated her well.

"Fan'er, is it really you? Why didn't you come back all these years?" Qiong Nu thought to herself, "Do you know how hard it was for me when you were away?"

…………

Li Leshan walked on the street in a daze, his mind full of thoughts about Wang Gang and his elder sister.

"Why is it Big Sister!"

"Does Lord Wang really like my elder sister?"

"What should I do if my eldest sister marries Lord Wang?"

Li Leshan was extremely confused at the moment and didn't pay any attention to the situation around him. He unknowingly came to the most prosperous street in the inner city of Bianjing.

In his trance, Li Leshan accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch."

"You don't walk very far..."

A man who was bumped into by Li Leshan originally wanted to curse, but after seeing Li Leshan's appearance clearly, he immediately stopped talking.

Li Leshan also came to his senses at this time and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

The man chuckled and teased, "Where did you come from, little lady? Are you shopping alone?"

Li Leshan frowned when he heard this, feeling like he had met a scoundrel, and immediately wanted to leave in displeasure.

"Hey, don't go!" The man took a quick step forward and stopped Li Leshan.

"What do you want to do in broad daylight?" Li Leshan is not a soft persimmon. He dares to charge at the bandits with their knives, so how could he be afraid of a mere scoundrel?

"Hey, don't be upset, little girl. I just want to treat you to a drink." The man said in a mean way.

"Get out of here, or I'll beat you to a pulp." Li Leshan was already in a bad mood and naturally didn't want to get entangled with the man.

"Oh, the young lady has quite a temper." The man said proudly: "Do you know who I am?"

Li Leshan snorted coldly: "Do you know who I am?"

The man laughed and said, "I like your temper, young lady. Come home with me obediently. I, Yang Jiulang, will ensure that you will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life."

Li Leshan's mouth twitched, and he picked up a stick from the stall next to him and hit the man hard on the head.

"Ouch!"

Seeing that the other party didn't know him, Li Leshan fought without restraint! (End of this chapter)
