Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Hoping to Return to the Li Family Soon

Yue Qingqing had figured it out, but Li Ruyun just couldn’t.

The two were picked up and dropped off by Li Fuhong’s company car to and from school.

After a cheerful greeting to Zhuang Lan, Li Ruyun turned her head to board the car.

Her face suddenly darkened.

Li Ruyu and the driver had already grown accustomed to her changing expressions.

Unable to resist, Li Ruyu asked, "Did your cousin upset you?"

Li Ruyun kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

She had been probing for information about that girl named Yue Qingqing but hadn’t discovered anything useful.

Zhuang Lan had only told her to focus on her studies and that there was no need to get involved with his classmate.

But Li Ruyun still felt uncomfortable.

If Zhuang Rouhui were there, she would have certainly remarked, "Like mother, like daughter," as both had similar feelings and reactions after seeing Yue Qingqing.

It was a dislike that was etched in their bones.

Li Ruyun particularly hated the girl’s face.

She herself was supposed to be unique, without any need for a duplicate.

Yet Li Ruyu just had to touch on the most sensitive topic.

"It’s no wonder you kept asking, that girl really does look too much like you. I might even mistake her for you if I saw her suddenly."

"Shut up!" Li Ruyun glared at him. The boy had long been used to it, so he turned his gaze to the fast-retreating scenery outside the window and stopped provoking his sister.

The car first stopped in front of the Li Family’s ancestral home.

After getting out, Li Ruyun’s face was once again full of smiles.

She threw herself into the old lady’s arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Grandma, Ruyun has missed you."

The old lady in the Tang suit nodded with a smile and then went to hug her eldest grandson.

"How was the first day of school today?"

Before Li Ruyu could speak, Li Ruyun already sweetly smiled and said,

"It was very easy. The tutor dad found for us had already taught us all those things."

Sitting beside them, the grandfather was very pleased, "Good, you are all children of the Li Family. You must not slack off in your studies, cough cough."

As the older man coughed a few times, Li Ruyun immediately went to soothe him, concerned, "Grandpa, are you feeling uncomfortable, is your throat still itchy?"

Being cared for by his granddaughter brought a smile to Li Jiaguo’s gaunt face.

"It’s an old problem, never mind, our Ruyun is still so considerate."

After having the maid serve a cup of tea to moisten the old man’s throat, the old lady casually asked a few more questions and then stood up.

"It’s about time; we should head to the rear hall."

Unlike the increasingly modern buildings in Zhuancheng, the Li Family’s ancestral house still preserved the decorating style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It also preserved some of the old customs.

Passing through an antique corridor, there was a small ancestral hall in the rear hall.

From top to bottom, cabinets were arranged in order according to generational seniority.

This was the Li Family’s ancestral hall, where from the names engraved on the spiritual tablets, one could see they were all male.

Naturally, daughters who married out could not enter here.

However, the spiritual tablet placed at the very bottom bore the name of the only girl.

— Li Ruzhen

Judging by the newness of the spiritual tablet, it was clear it had been added in recent years.

Every beginning and middle of the lunar month, the family members all came to offer incense.

Even Li Ruyun was no exception.

Watching the grandfather carefully light the incense and place it into the censer.

The gaze of the old lady swept over the two children kneeling below, contemplative.

"If your sister were still here, she would have gone to school with you too."

"Unfortunately..."

Li Ruyu had already finished kowtowing and stood up, brushing off the dust from his knees.

"Grandma, didn’t you say that our sister was stolen? Could she still be alive?"

The old lady narrowed her eyes, "Who can be certain? But if she is alive, I hope she can return to the Li Family soon."
