Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Li Yan’s brother, Li Zhan, that Pei Xuanxin found out that Li Yan had interacted with Qi Fei and the others behind his back.

Li Zhan disappeared from Hele Village for several months.

Previously, the Li family had even asked someone to look for Li Zhan. Unfortunately, there was no news at all.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhan, who couldn’t be found anywhere, actually returned after knowing that Pei Xuanxin had returned home in glory.

Pei Xuanxin accidentally saw Li Zhan and followed him.

After Li Zhan returned, he went to look for Li Yan immediately.

After Li Yan saw Li Zhan, she didn’t welcome him into the house. Instead, she looked around and pulled him to a quiet place outside.

“Brother, why are you here?” Li Yan looked at Li Zhan as she said with disdain, “Why didn’t you change into better clothes? Look at you now. You’re embarrassing me!”

When Li Zhan heard Li Yan’s words, he smiled ingratiatingly.

“Sister, look at you. You must have a lot of money! I’m a little tight on money now, so give me some money to spend!”

Li Yan frowned when she heard that Li Zhan was here to ask for money again. “Brother, don’t forget that when you brought Young Master Qi to me, he gave you a lot of money! Where’s the money?”

“I spent it all!” Li Zhan smiled awkwardly as he rubbed his hands.

Li Yan immediately lectured her brother, “Spent it all? Brother, you gambled it away again, didn’t you? If you continue to act like this, no matter how much money our family has, it won’t be enough for you to gamble!”

Li Zhan threatened, “Hmph, don’t look down on me just because you relied on him to become successful! Don’t forget that I know everything about you and Young Master Qi! If I tell him that you helped Young Master Qi scheme against him and asked him to help Young Master Qi do the exam questions, will you still have a good life?”

When Li Yan heard this, she was immediately shocked. Then, she looked around.

After confirming that there was no one around, Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Yan said as she took out two taels of silver, “Brother, what are you doing? If you ruin my life, will you have a good life? I only have two taels of silver here. Take it and use it first! However, this is the last time! Brother, if you gamble again, I’ll tie you up and hand you over to Father and Mother to teach you a lesson!”

When Li Zhan heard Li Yan’s words, he took the silver with a smile. Then, he said, “Don’t worry! I’ll definitely earn a lot of money this time! When the time comes, I will give you money to spend!”

With that, Li Zhan left with the silver.

As Li Yan watched her brother leave, she stomped her feet. Then, she turned around and returned to the house.

After the two of them left, Pei Xuanxin walked out of a very hidden place.

Pei Xuanxin heard Li Zhan and Li Yan’s conversation clearly.

At this moment, Pei Xuanxin’s face was filled with gloominess as he clenched his fists.

He really didn’t expect this!

He wanted to take good care of his wife, but she had been using him.

Help Young Master Qi do exam questions?

In that case, Young Master Qi had designs on him right from the beginning?

The tutor sessions were all a ruse.

Pei Xuanxin thought of the cheating scandal in the capital and the test questions that Li Yan had brought back in the capital.

He figured out everything that he couldn’t figure out in the past.

No wonder after the cheating scandal was exposed, he wanted to report those test papers, but Li Yan snatched them away and burned them.

At that time, he foolishly thought that Li Yan didn’t want him to be suspected.

Unexpectedly, from the beginning to the end, Li Yan only didn’t want what she had done to be exposed.

Thinking of this, Pei Xuanxin was filled with anguish.

He thought that he had found a good wife, but he didn’t expect to marry a scourge!

Fortunately, his benefactor had reminded him this time. Otherwise, he would have continued to be deceived by Li Yan.

If he became an official in the future, but Li Yan kept dragging him down and secretly doing shady things he didn’t know about, would he really be able to escape accountability if something happened?

He would probably be the first to be dealt with.

Thinking of this, Pei Xuanxin ignored his anguish and became rational.

This matter had to be handled properly.

If he didn’t handle it well, his life would be ruined.

After all, although Li Yan and Qi Fei were the ones who did the cheating, strictly speaking, he was also indirectly involved.

Even if he reported it now, what awaited him would be losing everything he had.

Pei Xuanxin was unwilling to bear such consequences.

He had studied hard for so many years and worked hard for so many years, so his life definitely couldn’t be ruined by a woman.

For the first time, Pei Xuanxin had the idea of divorcing his wife.

However, after thinking for a while, Pei Xuanxin gave up on this idea. The timing wasn’t right!

Thinking of this, Pei Xuanxin could only restrain his emotions and pretend that he didn’t know anything before going home.

After Li Zhan received the money, he felt relaxed.

“The fortune teller said that I’ll definitely become rich these few days! Now that I have these two taels of silver, if I go to the casino again, all the silver will go to my pocket!”

Li Zhan was daydreaming as he walked towards a nearby casino.

Just as he was about to arrive, a girl suddenly ran out and grabbed Li Zhan’s clothes.

“Brother, I’ve finally found you. Do you know that Father and Mother have been looking for you for the past few months?!”

Li Zhan looked over. It was none other than his sister, Li Qin.

Li Xiaoran happened to pass by in a carriage and accidentally saw Li Qin and Li Zhan pulling each other on the street.

“Stop!” Li Xiaoran suddenly shouted.

Zi Zheng, who was driving the carriage in front, quickly stopped the carriage.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Cheng, who was resting, asked when he heard Li Xiaoran’s voice.

“I saw Li Zhan and Li Qin. The siblings were pulling each other on the street,” Li Xiaoran replied as she watched.

At this moment, Li Zhan shook off Li Qin’s hand and threatened fiercely, “Xiao Qin, hurry up and go home! Don’t tell Father and Mother that you saw me.

Otherwise, I will hit you every time I see you in the future. Do you believe me?”

With that, Li Zhan raised his hand to scare Li Qin.

Li Qin hadn’t been doing well recently.

The Li family’s life was getting worse and worse.

Li Qin, who always slacked off and played around in the past, was also forced to work.

Faced with her brother’s threat, Li Qin thought of something and said, “Brother, if you give me some money, I won’t tell Father and Mother!”
