After a while, Li Junsheng and Zhao Xueqin came back. After reading the letter, they had the same serious expressions, but there was nothing they could do for the moment.

"Xiao Zhao, have you really decided to go?" Zhao Xueqin knew her son's nature very well. Although he knew that he could not stop Li Zhao from going to the meeting, he still couldn't help but said with some worry.

"I know my parents said this because they were worried about me, but it concerns Lan'er and my happiness. If I choose to be patient, I will regret it for the rest of my life, so I have to go." Li Zhao said firmly.

"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, your parents support you and hope that you can bring Ruolan back safely. But for the sake of safety, you'd better bring a few people with you. At any rate, there will be some protection this way.

Take care of him." Li Junsheng saw that his son had made up his mind. Although he couldn't bear it, he was very happy.

"Thank you parents for your support, but I don't plan to bring anyone with me this time. Since I agreed to their request, I have to fulfill it." Li Zhao responded again.

"Brother Zhao, I don't have a problem if you don't bring anyone else with you, but I have to go because besides Sister Lan, there is also my Xiaolin here." Wang Ziyi interjected at this time. And his reason was useless.

After arguing, Li Zhao finally had to agree.

"Without further ado, I plan to leave tonight." Li Zhao thought for a moment and said.

"Don't be so anxious. It's not too late to take a rest before leaving tomorrow morning!" Zhao Xueqin advised.

"It will be too late to leave tomorrow. Only by arriving in Beijing earlier can we be more fully prepared." Li Zhaoyou finally responded.

So, Li Zhao took Wang Ziyi and set off overnight after dinner. Naturally, the reason why he left in such a hurry was to learn more about Li Yonghao's purpose, so that he could make plans and arrangements for the future.

.

By the time they got off the plane, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. After finding the hotel they had booked and checking in, they took the time to rest. However, Li Zhao got up after sleeping for three or four hours, and just after washing, the door of the room was blocked.

There was a knock, and after opening the door, he saw Xiao Nai standing outside the door. This was also the person he had contacted last night. But in his original imagination, their meeting should be at least after 7 o'clock, and now he

This look is somewhat embarrassing.

"Fourth brother, you're really early!" Looking at the five o'clock clock on the wall, Li Zhao said rather helplessly.

"What's the matter? In your impression, do you think that a young man from an aristocratic family like me should wake up very late? In fact, I usually do what you think, but think about it, if I come here at this time, I might be able to

Seeing your embarrassment, I made preparations in advance, and you didn't disappoint me!" Looking at Li Zhao's deflated look, Xiao Nai couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Zhao, what time is it! Someone is coming to the door." Wang Ziyi suddenly said with a sleepy look on his face, but his words did a good job of resolving Li Zhao's embarrassment.

But after he saw the person coming clearly, he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out to be the fourth master, what a surprise!"

"Forget it, let's get down to business! To be honest, your affairs can't go on like this forever. Do you still expect Sister Lan to follow you incognito and then replace her with someone unknown to the girl's parents? So in my opinion

, Mr. Li's appearance is not a bad thing. Since you are marrying his daughter, you will eventually have to pass his test.

After you told me about what happened last night, I learned more about the arrangements of the Li family. Based on my understanding of Mr. Li, I feel that although he seems to be unfriendly to you on the surface, in fact he should

He doesn't have much malice towards you, otherwise you wouldn't even have such a chance. And the reason why he did this is to test you." Xiao Nai now began to analyze seriously.

stand up.

"Really? Although I have a similar feeling, I still feel uneasy. I always feel that things are not that simple." Li Zhao said still hesitantly.

"Brother Zhao, don't think too much. If I had such an outstanding baby daughter, I wouldn't take advantage of you easily. After all, you are equivalent to robbing him of his most beloved baby. This father-in-law and son-in-law

A battle between you is inevitable, not to mention that you were not his favorite son-in-law candidate from the beginning. He did not fall out with you on the spot, which is enough to give you face. So you can only overcome this level by yourself.

I can't be of much help." The meaning of Xiao Nai's words was already very clear, and he was obliged to help if he could, but some things became overreaching when he went one step further.

"Thank you, fourth brother!" Li Zhao suddenly realized.

Before the bride gets married, she usually goes back to her parents' home, and then the groom leads the wedding team to pick her up. Li Zhao originally understood this, but because he cared too much and the Li family's sudden action, he became a little confused.

Fang Cun didn't have a sudden enlightenment until he heard Xiao Nai's analysis. Now that he thinks about it, although the form of his solo meeting this time is a little different, the actual nature is still the same.

Although it was still early, Li Zhao would not waste it in vain. He had already made a plan with Xiao Nai, and he just took advantage of this day to get familiar with some of the operations between the big families, and Xiao Nai also collected relevant information about it.

All the information about the Li family was revealed. For this reason, Xiao Nai took Li Zhao and Wang Ziyi to quietly investigate the area around No. 58 Xicheng Lane, the address listed on the address. However, in addition to discovering that it was a huge private mansion,

, but the internal situation could not be investigated clearly, and there was no sign of anyone here, so they had no choice but to go back first.

The three of them then discussed the test that the Li family might give him tomorrow, but in the end they didn't have much of a clue, and the only thing they could do was to make more preparations.

The next day soon arrived. After bidding farewell to Xiao Nai, Li Zhao and Wang Ziyi arrived at No. 58 Xicheng Lane again before noon as agreed. Although he did not know when the Li family would come to meet them,

But he still believed that the other party would not deliberately play tricks on him. The two of them waited here for almost half an hour before the door was slowly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out and greeted him.

They both go in.

Li Zhaochu, who followed the housekeeper in, didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that this was just an ordinary large villa at most. But as he walked inside, he felt more and more extraordinary that this courtyard-like house was larger than it looked from the outside.

It looks more than twice as big.

It took a lot of effort just to walk out of the big house at the front. What came into their eyes was a large and wide courtyard that could not be seen from the outside. It was said to be a unique place.

It's not an exaggeration at all. As the target person, the old man of the Li family was sitting leisurely at the end of the courtyard directly in front of them, and the two daughters Li Ruolan and Li Ruolin were accompanying him along with a group of domestic servants.

Seeing Wang Ziyi who was following Li Zhao, Li Yonghao couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Li Zhao, didn't I tell you that you were the only one allowed to come here alone, why did you bring others with you?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Brother Zhao. I insisted on coming here. Just think that I came here alone. But my target is not Sister Lan, but your other daughter, so I should follow you."

The request you mentioned is not a conflict." Before Li Zhao could respond, Wang Ziyi pointed at Li Ruolin and defended.

Faced with such unexpected remarks from Wang Ziyi, Li Yonghao was stunned for a moment. However, he reacted very quickly, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you not only yelled at my eldest daughter, but now you also yelled at me.

My little daughter is also thinking about it!"

"Please don't get excited, Mr. Li. Although my sworn brother and Ruolin also have a good impression of each other, their affairs..." Seeing Li Yonghao's expression was different, although Li Zhao knew that he still looked like a clay bodhisattva, but

Shi Ye had to bite the bullet and come out to smooth things over.

But Li Zhao also felt that the more he talked, the more wrong he was getting. Just when he was not sure how to end it, Li Ruolan on the opposite side immediately came to the rescue and said: "Dad, just consider him passed! We can talk about Lin Mei's matter later, but no matter what

In this way, Xiaozhao can indeed manage to fulfill your request this time. Even if you don't see him being so sincere, I think of my daughter and..."

When Li Ruolan said this, her voice couldn't help but lowered. The last few words were probably only heard by Mr. Li who was closest to her. Li Ruolin actually wanted to join her sister in persuading her, but she was afraid that the more she helped, the more trouble she would make, so she didn't dare to speak.

.But fortunately, Li Ruolan's last words seemed to have an effect, which made Mr. Li at least soften his expression.

"It's not okay to pass the test so easily. That would be too cheap for this kid." Li Yonghao paused when he said this, and then looked at Li Zhaodao: "But for the sake of my two daughters' pleading, plus you also

Since you have kept your promise, I reluctantly consider you qualified to accept the test. However, because of your brother, I must increase the difficulty of your test, from the original two tests to three. I don’t know.

Are you ready?"

"No problem, let's ask the head of the Li family to come up with the topic!" Although Li Zhao knew that he might have to face a more stringent test, he did not regret it and responded boldly.

"Okay, I guess you are brave! These tests may be very simple, or they may be difficult. As for the specific situation, it depends on your judgment. The first question should be very simple, you just have to use a stick of incense.

Come to me within the time limit." Li Yonghao asked.

"Master Li, I heard you right. The distance from me to you is only ten meters at most!" Li Zhao said with a questioning look on his face.

"Then give it a try!" Li Yonghao had a calm expression on his face.

After hearing what Mr. Li said, Li Zhao couldn't help but become more confused, and even began to doubt whether there was fraud in it.

"Brother Zhao, come on! I don't think he can do any tricks at such a close distance. Besides, one stick of incense is more than enough time." However, Wang Ziyi spoke up at this moment.

In this way, Li Zhao did not doubt that he was there, and started to take his first step. However, from the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Li Ruolan opposite him, winking at him secretly, with a hint of worry in his expression.

Seeing this, Li Zhao couldn't help but feel the warning signs reappear in his heart. However, he was already halfway through the journey and it was obviously unrealistic to go back. He suddenly thought that if he wanted to pass here smoothly, the path he would take would not be a straight line. He was thinking about the next step.
