As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen froze instantly.

The heart felt like it was stabbed by something.

He touched the jade pendant on his chest from his mother, took a deep breath, and said, "I will go back, but not now. The day I go back will be the day when the murderer dies!"

If he can't carry the murderer's head and pay homage to his mother's spirit in heaven, what face does he have to go home?

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You can decide how to decide."

After gulping down the tea, the drunkard walked upstairs again, preparing to take a nap.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, sat on a chair and began to meditate.

Thinking about his revenge plan.

"What are you thinking?"

At this time, Li Qingyao suddenly walked in and waved his hand in front of Lu Chen's eyes.

"Huh? When did you come in?"

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, a little surprised.

"You don't even know that such a big living person came in. Could it be unrequited love? Is it me? Or Concubine Cao Xuan?" Li Qingyao asked meaningfully.

"neither."

Lu Chen shook his head.

Regarding this kind of proposition, he is not stupid enough to throw himself into a trap.

"Why, do you have someone else in your heart?" Li Qingyao looked suspicious.

"of course not."

Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly changed the topic: "You came here early in the morning, isn't it just to tell me this?"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm that boring?"

Li Qingyao rolled his eyes: "I came here to share the good news with you. Our lineage has been determined to return to the Li family in Jiangbei. From now on, we will be the heirs of a wealthy family."

"Oh? Really? Congratulations." Lu Chen smiled.

"It's not that simple."

Li Qingyao smiled proudly: "Our lineage not only returned to the wealthy family, but the patriarch Li Shijie also specially listed me as a candidate heir, and competed with the rest of the descendants for the position of future patriarch!"

"Listen to what you mean, as long as you perform well, you might even become the head of a wealthy family?!" Lu Chen quickly reacted.

"That's right!"

Li Qingyao snapped his fingers and smiled excitedly: "I don't know how many people dream of being qualified to be the successor. I didn't expect that the clan leader actually chose me. It's really an unexpected surprise!"

To be honest, she had no expectations about returning to the Li family.

Because she knows very well that even if she returns to a wealthy family, as a side relative, she still cannot be reused.

However, it is different now. The position and weight of the patriarch's candidate heir in the family is completely different from that of ordinary heirs. JrNovels.com
