"really?" you seem to know her well. " su chen hao's eyebrows gently rose as he said faintly.

madam lian's expression froze for a second, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she quickly replied: "miss baozhu is someone madame has taken a liking to, and is also the daughter of a close friend of madame, so her character must be pretty good. didn't eldest young master also take a liking to her because of this? "

"that's true, the pearl is indeed a very special woman." su chen hao nodded his head in agreement.

"as long as eldest young master likes it, it's good that you've let your mistress down. madam has always been worried about the eldest young master's marriage. " sister lian said with a smile.

"oh right, aunt lian, since you mentioned my marriage, then let me ask you, do you know what happened to my two children? mother never told me clearly about my relationship with luo qingyun. since she was my child's mother, why did she marry kai ze? " su chen hao looked at the smiling face of his wife and purposely asked.

"this …" madam lian blinked and purposely avoided speaking, "eldest young master, i can't tell you about this either. if you want to know, you'll have to ask madam about it." however, there is something i want to remind you of. since you have decided to marry miss jewel, then don't think about the past anymore. "now that's what's so important, don't you think?"

"yes, you're right. i also know that the pearl is a very good choice, so i will definitely give her a grand wedding and not let her down. " su chen hao said with a serious expression.

when sister lian saw that he was so serious, she spoke a lot of good words for zheng baozhu. when she found out that they had chatted too much, it probably took up su chen hao's time, so she left.

what she did not know was that after the conversation between the two of them tonight, her ident.i.ty had already left a huge question mark in su chen hao's heart.

when he returned to the study, su chen hao picked up the phone on the desk. just as he was about to make a call, he saw that there were quite a few missed calls.

the call was from qiu ye, who seemed very anxious. seeing that he didn't pick up the phone, he even sent him a message, telling him to return the call.

without time to think, he immediately called back, and the call was immediately picked up. qiu ye's excited voice came from inside: "ceo, there's new news from old hu."

"what news?" su chen hao asked.

"about half an hour ago, zheng baozhu gave sister lian a call." qiu zhu said.

"half an hour ago? that is, we just got home not long ago. " su chen said as he looked at the time on his watch.

"yes, i was wondering. it was zheng baozhu who called aunt lian the first moment she got home. do you think it's too suspicious? sister lian is only the housekeeper of the mansion, why is zheng baozhu in such close contact with her? when she called her at this time of year, it was to tell her that the matter of your wedding had been settled. " qiu ye a.n.a.lyzed.

"i was talking to aunt lian just now, and she didn't say a word about this phone call." su chen hao said.

"it seems like there really is some sort of ulterior motive between the two." then, he thought of something else: "by the way, didn't old hu send someone to investigate aunt lian's hometown? the investigation team also sent back some news today. they said that sister lian's family members were only an old mother in her eighties and a disabled brother in her fifties. the two of them relied on each other to survive. sister lian had not returned home for many years and she had not sent any money back either. when the old man spoke of his daughter, sister lian, he only shed tears. he even said that he shouldn't have let her go out to work that year and harmed her … you said that when sister lian followed madam ye, she earned quite a bit of money a year, why didn't she care about her family at all? it's really weird. "

"wait a minute, are you saying that sister lian's mother and brother are both alive?" when su chen hao heard the news from qiu ye, he immediately frowned.

"that's right. however, the old lady's health isn't good, so she won't be able to live much longer. the only thing the old lady is worried about right now is her crippled son. she fears that after she dies, he won't be able to rely on himself …"

"why did the old lady say that she shouldn't have gone out to work and harmed her?" su chen hao had yet to fully digest the information in qiu ye's words.

"i don't know about that, but if not, i'll have old hu's men carefully ask around and see if they can find anything." qiu zhu said.

su chen hao nodded and hung up the phone. his expression, however, became more serious.

'sister lian, could she be the one that tried to harm me from behind? '

every time he heard her speak, he could feel her sincere expression. could it be that her loyalty to her mother and all her years of company were just a disguise?

but if she did, what was her motive?

to her, the su clan was probably just a favor, there was no hatred.

that was the only thing he could not figure out at the moment.

the next day, at 10 am.

in the apartment, luo qingyun was playing with the two children in the garden.

sis wu was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for lunch.

the doorbell rang. sis wu came out of the kitchen at once to take a look at the entrance. when she saw the person standing at the entrance, her expression turned cold.

she wanted to pretend that she didn't hear him and ignore him. she didn't know if the person at the door had guessed her thoughts, but she took out her phone and typed a few words into it. then, she pointed at the camera and displayed those words in front of her.

"luo qingyun, i know you live here. open the door, the madam has a message for me to bring to you."

sister wu was hesitating on whether she should open the door when luo qingyun heard the doorbell. she walked over with yuan yuan in her arms, "sister wu, who's here?"

sis wu was about to answer when she saw the figure on the display screen.

"sister lian, why is she here?" she asked with a puzzled expression.

"madam, from the looks of it, she did not come with good intentions. let's not let her in." sis wu said.

"since she can find this place, then she definitely has a way to get in. we can't stop her even if we wanted to. open the door, let's see what her purpose in finding this place is." luo qingyun did not want to hide from her. instead, she was very curious about the reason why she came to find her.

hearing this, sister wu had no choice but to open the door. luo qingyun then handed yuan yuan to sister wu: "sister wu, take the children and play in the garden. don't come down."

"are you all right, ma'am?" sis wu said with a worried expression.

"don't worry, isn't she also alone?" luo qingyun patted her shoulder and said.

sis wu saw that she seemed to be mentally prepared, so she didn't try to persuade her. she only silently carried yuan yuan upstairs.

five minutes later, madam lian knocked on the door. luo qingyun stood at the door and personally opened it for her.

when the two met, sister lian sized her up. she didn't wait for her to invite him in; instead, she walked in by herself.

"if i remember correctly, you were taken away by the second young master. i didn't expect you to be living in the eldest young master's apartment. this is truly strange. " originally, when she got a private investigator to investigate luo qingyun's residence and found out that she lived in an apartment named su chen hao's name, she couldn't believe it. however, now that luo qingyun was really here, the suspicion in her heart immediately rose.

she even started to suspect if su chen had recovered his memories, which was why he placed luo qingyun here. otherwise, it would really be impossible for luo qingyun to live here instead of with su qize.
