Chapter 41 Chapter 41 is a medicine that makes it difficult to get pregnant again...

Gu Wenying came here for business. The three of them sat in the kitchen facing the small garden. Jiang Xiaoci made some tea and handed it to her mother.

Gu Wenying took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "Your aunt and I have been doing the clothing business for about a year. We have made a good profit and are planning to open a counter in a department store to sell clothes."

Jiang Xiaoci has been to the department store several times. Some clothes that she thought were very expensive were selling very well. If she had been in Dahe Village before, she would never have been willing to buy them. But now that she has opened a matchmaking agency, with her normal income, she is willing to buy herself and Brother Han an expensive new piece of clothing during festivals.

What's more, when I occasionally do matchmaking for rich people and receive the introduction fee, I will be more willing to buy it.

She thought this business was great, and said to Han Jingyuan, "Brother Han, let's give our savings to mom, so they can expand the business and we can also have an investment, what do you think?"

Han Jingyuan naturally supported it: "It's good, but we only take the money. If we share a share of the profits with mom, isn't that taking advantage?"

Jiang Xiaoci said, "Why do you think so? Why should I and my mother have to consider all this?"

Gu Wenying joked with them: "As long as you are not afraid of losing money by investing your money in mom, I will give you the amount you invest."

In order to help her mother reach the conclusion of the negotiation more smoothly, Jiang Xiaoci took the initiative to tell Grandma Xie about the matter. "Grandma, if you have any extra money, you can give it to Aunt Cheng or Brother Cheng. It will count as a share. Invest it in my mother's business. In the future, you can keep it as private money for Aunt Cheng or help Brother Cheng get married. Isn't that good?"

Xie Shuju was very clear-headed. If she wanted to open a counter in Beijing, how could she do that without some connections?

This kid doesn't ask for help directly. He first gives out a part of the benefits and then talks about asking for help. He is really smart.

She scolded, "Why are you being so polite to grandma? Grandma can help you find someone."

Jiang Xiaoci shook her head and said, "Grandma, it's not good to always use that little favor to beg others. Besides, you have helped me so much. We are all family. No matter how much you invest, I will give it to the person you designate. As long as I am here, this verbal agreement will always be valid."

Han Shuju didn't expect her son's small flower shop to make money at first. She wanted him to do something he liked and be busy. It would be good enough if he could make a living. In the end, he earned more than working at a regular job.

She also knows that the self-employed people who are looked down upon by everyone now actually earn a lot more.

She accepted Jiang Xiaoci's kindness: "Okay, grandma thanks you in advance. I know someone. Just say you are my granddaughter and go find him."

Jiang Xiaoci thanked them and accompanied her mother and sister-in-law for two days to negotiate the counter matters.

Jiang Xiaoci also suggested: "Mom, if the clothes sell well in the future, you can open a clothing store in a more prosperous place, and open more stores. Anyway, you can supply the goods and bring them here in one trip."

Gu Wenying smiled and said, "Whatever you can think of, Mom can think of. Just take it one step at a time. Don't be impatient."

After agreeing on the time for listing the products, Gu Wenying went back to prepare for the distribution of goods and then brought back the good news that Jiang Xiaoci was pregnant.

…

On the other side, Feng Wenyu had been waiting for several days, but Jiang Xiaoci's mother was there and she was embarrassed to go over.

As soon as Gu Wenying left, she planned to get along well with Jiang Xiaoci.

Jiang Xiaoci was pregnant, so she asked the kitchen staff, who were already preparing for the opening, to stew a bowl of nourishing fish maw soup and add some Chinese medicinal herbs suitable for pregnant women.

Hearing this, Feng Jiuxiang's heart was pounding. She was deeply impressed by this incident. She heard it from the nanny later. In order to please Jiang Xiaoci, her mother went to deliver tonic soup and went out through the back door without locking the door, which led to her being carried away. After many attempts to find her, she caught a cold, had a fever and had convulsions, which caused her to speak and walk very late. She was ridiculed since she was a child, which left her with a deep psychological trauma. It took a long time to fully recover.

This time, she must find out who took her away.

She hid herself in a corner where no one noticed her, and thought about some things she had heard from others in her previous life: her father had always loved her mother, but her mother's personality became worse and worse because she could not give birth to her own children.

Ever since she could remember in her previous life, her mother had always been a little paranoid, but her father had always been tolerant of her.

Feng Jiuxiang also needs to figure out why her mother, who has a father who loves her so much, becomes so unreasonable in the end?

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the nanny talking to someone outside the backyard. The nanny had been with her since the second month after she was adopted, until she was reborn, and was closer to her than to her adoptive mother.

Kong Jinzhu took a big risk by bringing Ji Qinglan in, but her mother had done her a favor, and she had to repay the favor.

She repeatedly stressed: "I have created an opportunity for you, you should hurry up. If you are discovered, don't tell me, otherwise I will not tell you anything in the future."

Ji Qinglan was nervous but reckless: "I know you helped me like this because you owed my mother a favor. I am grateful in my heart. Even if I am discovered, I will just say that I saw the door was not closed and sneaked in. I will never tell you."

"Okay, I just said I was going out to buy groceries, and I'll bring you back secretly now. I have to go out again, so don't delay me."

"Hey, who is this fish maw nourishing soup in the thermos for?"

"Oh, Mrs. Feng wants it. Maybe she's preparing for pregnancy and replenishing her body. She still wants a biological child."

"Got it, Sister Kong, you can go now."

Feng Jiuxiang looked through the gap in her hiding place and saw Ji Qinglan take out a bottle, pour a few pills into it and stir it. She was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.

She recognized Ji Qinglan, who put drugs in the fish maw soup. It was she who had an affair with her father in the previous life. Her father had always proved his innocence, but her mother just didn't believe it.

And her most trusted nanny never said that she had opened the door for Ji Qinglan.

Soon, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Ji Qinglan hid herself and covered her mouth for fear of being discovered.

She saw her mother, unaware of the situation, carrying the drugged soup, out the back door and then locking the door from the outside.

She saw with her own eyes and heard with her own ears that her mother locked the back door from the outside after she went out.

But the nanny said that it was the mother who forgot to lock the door. Later, the mother became mentally unstable and she couldn't remember whether she locked the door or not. But now, Feng Jiuxiang saw that the mother had locked the door.

Soon, she heard the sound of a lock being unlocked outside the door. Then Kong Jinzhu stuck his head out to take a look and left again. However, the back door was ajar. That was the escape route left by the nanny for Ji Qinglan.

Feng Jiuxiang was very angry. Could it be that her father and Ji Qinglan really had a history? So she wants to take her sister away to get revenge on her parents?

Sure enough, within a minute, she saw with her own eyes that Ji Qinglan took her out in her cradle!

It was not until Ji Qinglan carried her sister to the backyard door and was about to step out that Feng Jiuxiang stood up and shouted, "Who are you? Why did you break into my house and steal my sister? Help! Someone broke into the house and snatched the child!"

Soon, several strong men from the kitchen surrounded Ji Qinglan.

Feng Jiuxiang snatched her sister back, held her in her arms, and glared at Ji Qinglan fiercely. It was this woman who caused her to be ridiculed and mocked in her previous life. She would never forgive her.

…

Feng Wenyu still didn't know what happened at home. She brought some nourishing soup and came over to mend her relationship with Jiang Xiaoci, but Han Jingyuan was so abominable. He was always on guard against her, which was so hurtful.

She unscrewed the thermos, filled a small bowl with water, and let Jiang Xiaoci smell it: "Xiaoci, you see I am sincere, this is the best fish maw, I asked the kitchen to stew it for you to nourish your pregnancy. If you are used to it, I will have someone stew it for you every day."

Jiang Xiaoci was puzzled: "Cousin, how did you know I was pregnant? You could even find out this?"

Feng Wenyu hurriedly explained: "I don't have that intention. Remember what you said when you went to the hospital that day? You were so happy and loud that I heard it. I thought you would say it, but after waiting for a few days, no one knew about it except your family."

Jiang Xiaoci raised her eyebrows and smiled, asking, "Cousin, why did you go to the hospital? Are you pregnant too?"

If she really were pregnant with her own child, she would drink this soup by herself no matter how much she disliked it.

She said, "I'm not pregnant. I just went to the hospital to see if I can have a baby. Okay, this soup is fine. I'll drink a bowl for you to see."

Jiang Xiaoci hurriedly said, "No need, cousin, although we had a fight, I still believe that you would not drug me to harm me."

Feng Wenyu glanced at Han Jingyuan, who hadn't changed at all, and said angrily, "It's useless for you to believe it. If Han Jingyuan doesn't believe it, I'm going to prove it to him."

She pinched her nose, drank the half bowl of fish maw soup, and said, "Look, I even drank things I don't like. Do you believe me now?"

Han Jingyuan still didn't believe it, so he gave his cousin some face and brought a large soup bowl, poured the fish maw soup from the thermos into it, emptied the thermos and returned it to his cousin, saying, "It's not time for dinner yet, give it to her when it's time."

Feng Wenyu glared at Han Jingyuan in anger: "He is still my brother, Xiaoci is better than you."

…

Feng Wenyu returned angrily to the restaurant which was almost renovated. The front was for business and the back was for living. As soon as he got home, Chang Deman told him that someone broke in and wanted to steal Xiaotang.

Feng Wenyu was furious: "What are you waiting for? Call the police."

Chang Deman said, "I wanted to call the police, but your wife said there was something going on. I'll make a decision after discussing it with you. The person is locked up in the warehouse and can't run away. We are all witnesses, and the inside story may be something we can't know. You should discuss it with He Zongxu."

Feng Wenyu was suspicious and went to the study to find He Zongxu and asked him why he didn't call the police.

Feng Jiuxiang was also surprised and could not help but followed him upstairs, sat on the stairs and listened to his parents' conversation in the study.

…

He Zongxu first helped Feng Wenyu sit down, considerately massaged her shoulders and temples, and then told her the reason why he did not call the police.

"I have found out clearly these few days. Your biological father remarried and found you a little stepmother, Ji Qinglan. I also asked her about her motive for taking the child. She said that your father asked her to come back to help him get along well. She was confused for a moment and actually wanted to take the child away, then pretend that she found him by chance and brought him back to make you grateful."

Feng Wenyu was so angry that she yelled, "How can anyone treat a relationship like this? Isn't this just making enemies? I would call the police if my cousins ​​provoked me, let alone her. I can't just let it go."

He Zongxu kindly advised her to think twice: "We have invested a lot of money in this restaurant and it will be open soon. If you suddenly call the police and make a scene, it will have an impact on the restaurant. Since she has no bad intentions and we discovered it in time, can we just forget about it this time?"

Having said that, and because Feng Wenyu was having a stomachache, she didn't want to do anything indecent in front of her new husband, so she said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Go talk to her, and I'll go take a bath to relieve my headache."

He Zongxu nodded, kissed her, and said, "My wife is the most sensible. You go quickly, and I will take care of the rest."

…

Feng Jiuxiang unexpectedly heard that Ji Qinglan, who had spread rumors with her father, was actually the woman her mother's biological father remarried. Each piece of news was more explosive than the last, and she couldn't help but follow her father and listen outside the warehouse.

Ji Qinglan was locked in the warehouse. After He Zongxu entered, he locked the door, grabbed her neck, and asked coldly:

"You have married such a rich man, why do you use this wrong way to disturb our family of four?"

Ji Qinglan shrank and roared, "He is rich, but do you know what he did to me? He sterilized me. If he sterilized me, he would be my only support and I would never be able to leave him. How could you cut off someone's retreat like this? I hate him, and I hate you too!"

He Zongxu cut off her next words and warned her: "Now that things have come to this, we can only look forward. I will not pursue what happened today, but this is the last time I will tolerate you. Let me ask you, what did you put in the fish maw nourishing soup that Feng Wenyu gave to Jiang Xiaoci?"

Ji Qinglan was shocked. Didn’t Feng Wenyu drink it himself?

"Is that soup for Jiang Xiaoci? Haha, I thought she made it to nourish herself and prepare for pregnancy. There's nothing in it. It's just a kind of medicine that makes it difficult to get pregnant again. It's good to give it to Jiang Xiaoci. Her family loves her so much, but it's just for her."

He Zongxu's voice was as cold as ice: "You can still laugh? Jiang Xiaoci's family loves her so much. If they knew you gave her that kind of medicine, one of them would kill you."

Ji Qinglan was not afraid at all: "As long as you don't tell me, I won't tell you either. The soup was sent by Feng Wenyu. If anyone wants to kill her, kill her. What does it have to do with me?"

She challenged proudly: "That's right, kill her and her property will be yours. Oh, I remembered that they haven't recognized each other yet, so you can't inherit it. So, you have to ensure that Feng Wenyu will not be retaliated by the Jiang and Han families."

He Zongxu sneered: "You are a bad and stupid person, but you are good to your family. If the kind of thing you said really happened, I will let your second aunt eat ten pills first. You should be lucky that this matter has not been discovered."

…

Feng Jiuxiang's aroma was like falling into an ice cellar. From the conversation between Dad and Ji Qinglan, it seemed that they had a previous relationship, and it was an ill-fated one.

Ji Qinglan was so angry that he wanted to sterilize his mother as well, but the soup was given to Jiang Xiaoci. No matter what the reason was, she couldn't eat it.

It’s just time for dinner now, I hope I can still make it there in time.

In a hurry, Feng Jiuxiang could only think of a flawed idea. She went to her mother's room. Her mother was taking a bath. There was a pair of earrings on the dressing table. She took one and hid it in her pocket.

Then, she ran to the matchmaking agency as fast as she could. There was no one in the front hall, so the person must be in the backyard.

She immediately shouted, "Aunt Jiang, are you in the backyard? My mother lost one of her earrings and I want to see if it's with you. I'll come in and look for it."

In the small kitchen in the backyard, Jiang Xiaoci had just picked up a bowl of hot fish maw nourishing soup. When Feng Jiuxiang saw her about to bring it to her mouth, she was so scared that the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She pretended to slip and used the force of her body to push the dining table away. The bowl of soup that had just cooled down and the soup in the large soup bowl on the table shattered to the ground.

At the same time, Feng Jiuxiang quietly took out the earring from her palm, pretended to have just picked it up from the ground, raised it and said, "Luckily I found it, Auntie, how much is the spilled soup worth? I'll compensate you."

When she bumped into her, Jiang Xiaoci had already been protected by Han Jingyuan and all the soup and water were blocked by Han Jingyuan, so she was fine.

Feng Jiuxiang, a nine-year-old girl, was confused by the sudden action.

Her cousin brought her soup in the morning and she wore the earrings, but she didn't come to the backyard, so how could the earrings be found in the kitchen?

The little girl deliberately didn't let her drink the soup, but didn't want her to realize her intention. She used such a stupid method. It might be the best idea that a nine-year-old child could think of.

Many of the things Jiang Xiaoci did were also irrational, but her family members were very tolerant of her.

Jiang Xiaoci was also very tolerant of the little girl and said with a smile: "Don't panic, Auntie doesn't blame you."

She took a towel and wiped the soup off her face and body, saying, "Auntie won't tell your parents about this matter. Let's just pretend it never happened. You don't have to be afraid."

Feng Jiuxiang was stunned. In her impression, Jiang Xiaoci would never say such a thing.

But at this moment, she was so gentle and considerate. After I said something full of loopholes, she didn't expose it or question me. Instead, she comforted me.

Feng Jiuxiang was even more confused, but fortunately all the soup had been spilled and the crisis was resolved. She bowed 90 degrees and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll go back first."

…

After the child left, Jiang Xiaoci looked at the mess on the ground and felt very distressed: "Brother Han, you asked Fuyunlou to stew the fish maw nourishing soup for the whole morning, and it was just spilled like this, what a pity."

Han Jingyuan had already brought a broom and mop over and said, "The floor is full of broken porcelain pieces. Stand away and I'll clean it up."

Jiang Xiaoci took a few steps back and asked, "You didn't let me drink the soup my cousin sent me. Now it seems that there is something wrong with the soup. What do you think was put in the soup?"

Han Jingyuan said: "I have kept the sample and will ask my mother later. She has a friend in Beijing. We will know the answer after testing it."

Jiang Xiaoci said: "Then we have to do it quietly and don't let anyone know. If it gets out, it will be difficult to find the person who drugged me."

Han Jingyuan nodded: "My cousin drank it on the spot, she should not know about it. Do you think it was He Zongxu?"

Jiang Xiaoci shook her head: "I don't think it's him, because he wouldn't use such a stupid method."

Han Jingyuan thought it made sense: "Yes, according to his mind, how could he use such a stupid method? I think Feng Jiuxiang should know."

Jiang Xiaoci said: "But she won't tell you. Anyway, don't worry too much. I will be careful and won't drink anything sent to me by others."

…

Only one night after Feng Jiuxiang came back, my mother had constant abdominal pain, and her period, which had already ended, started bleeding again.

Dad said that it was because mom was worried about her, so he let her have a good rest for a few days and postponed the opening time of the restaurant. He took good care of mom, made soup for her every day and even helped her go to the toilet, but he just refused to take mom to the hospital.

Feng Jiuxiang felt that at this moment, no matter how attentive the care was, it would not be as good as going to the hospital. As soon as she mentioned it, her mother, who thought it was no big deal, denied it.

In her previous life, my mother did not have any biological children. Is this the reason?

After Feng Jiuxiang turned around, she couldn't stop crying. She quietly went out and came to her and her sister's room. She took her sister out of the cradle and held her tightly in her arms.

No matter what the truth of this world is, she must protect her sister.

Feng Jiuxiang wants to protect her infant sister, and Han Jingyuan wants to protect Jiang Xiaoci and their child in her belly. Neither of them will give in. Han Jingyuan only hopes to hear more of that voice from last time.

…

Jiang Xiaoci received an invitation to her cousin's restaurant opening, and all the merchants on this street received it.

My cousin was sick for a few days. After she recovered, people said that He Zongxu was so nice. He had money and was willing to spend it on his wife. He also took care of his wife meticulously when she was sick. Even Feng Wenyu felt that she was extremely lucky.

Feng Wenyu personally delivered the invitation and said, "We are all at fault for what happened before. You called the police twice, and I called the police once. We didn't invite each other to our wedding. Let's forget about the past. You must come to my opening ceremony."

Jiang Xiaoci agreed to go: "I don't know whether Brother Han will go or not, but I will definitely go."

Han Jingyuan was too lazy to go: "I switched shifts with my colleague this Sunday, so I really can't go."

Feng Wenyu couldn't believe him, so she said, "With all the trivialities and chaos in your police station, is it difficult to ask for a leave at noon? If you don't want to go, forget it. Jiang Xiaoci, you said you would come, so you must come."

Jiang Xiaoci said: "Of course, I will give you a lucky cat, and wish you great wealth."

Feng Wenyu was delighted: "You are sensible. People say that you don't let unhappy things last overnight. It's true. Thank you in advance."

My cousin's restaurant is called Hongfu Restaurant. On the opening day, she invited a lion dance team and set off firecrackers. She also invited all the merchants on this street, so it was very lively.

Jiang Xiaoci came in holding a lucky cat to congratulate them. Feng Wenyu put the lucky cat given by Jiang Xiaoci in the best position behind the bar.

He said, "Look, since you said you were giving it away, I didn't buy anything myself. I'm just borrowing your good words so that we can all get rich together."

Jiang Xiaoci had never been inside the hotel before. After a tour, she unexpectedly saw Ji Qinglan.

She quickly asked, "Cousin, I'm very familiar with Ji Qinglan over there. She's a little unreliable. How did you get to know her and invite her here?"

Feng Wenyu took one look and felt disgusted and didn't want to look at it a second time. In order not to make things difficult for He Zongxu, she did not mention the incident of holding the child that day.

She said, "Ji Qinglan married a friend of your brother-in-law's friend. The woman next to her is called Liao Qiufeng, your brother-in-law's distant cousin. Your brother-in-law invited Liao Qiufeng here, and Ji Qinglan came with her. It seems that she has some business dealings with her. She said she was here to inspect the hotel and bring important guests here to receive them in the future."

Jiang Xiaoci said "Oh" and understood that Liao Qiufeng was probably also a member of He Zongxu's group.

Ji Qinglan also saw Jiang Xiaoci, who was now dressed in jewels.

The necklace around her neck alone is worth as much as Jiang Xiaoci's matchmaking agency's annual income, not to mention the pair of pearl earrings on her ears, the jewel ring on her hand, and the high-end fashion she's wearing.

She came over, no longer as self-conscious and timid as before, and started chatting with Jiang Xiaoci confidently:

"Xiaoci, I helped my second aunt get a divorce. That old man said that love is as deep as the sea. I took out a stack of money, and his two children couldn't wait to persuade him to divorce. In their eyes, the love my second aunt has given is not as valuable as a few banknotes. It's really not worth it. After the banquet, I will accompany my second aunt to your matchmaking agency to register. Please help my second aunt find a partner."

Jiang Xiaoci saw that she had changed a lot, and was just about to ask about it, so she said, "I heard that you left Yuncheng, and now you're back in glory. It seems that the opportunity is quite good."

Ji Qinglan smiled softly and said, "Well, I met a suitable man, we fell in love at first sight and got married soon. Thinking back to the past, I was indeed too naive. If you can put aside your past grudges with Feng Wenyu, can we do the same?"

Jiang Xiaoci shook her head: "That's different. I can't arrange a marriage for your second aunt. You are so capable now, so find one for her yourself."

Ji Qinglan snorted with both anger and laughter: "Okay, I just said that. With my current connections, it won't be difficult to find someone ten years younger for my second aunt."

Jiang Xiaoci: "Then go find it. No need to stress it to me."

Feng Wenyu looked down on Ji Qinglan, a fool who could steal a child to ease the relationship. What kind of good partner could she introduce to her second aunt?

She whispered in Jiang Xiaoci's ear: "I'm telling you, she actually just found an old man, and she has the nerve to come here and show off."

Jiang Xiaoci couldn't help but look in Ji Qinglan's direction a few more times, and suddenly felt that her features were a bit like her aunt's.

My aunt is already 55 years old, and Ji Qinglan is only in his early twenties. If it was my aunt in her twenties, they would probably look more alike.

Jiang Xiaoci always felt that this was not just a coincidence.

…

After the opening drink, Jiang Xiaoci was about to slip away, and Feng Wenyu sent her out, just in time to see Han Jingyuan coming to pick her up.

She was angry and yelled at him, "Didn't you say you didn't have time to cover for the shift? Why are you here again? It's just two or three hours? Are you deliberately not coming to the opening party?"

Han Jingyuan calmly faced his cousin's criticism: "Didn't Xiaoci come over? I see your business is doing well. When you are in such a good mood, you may not want to see me."

Feng Wenyu laughed angrily: "You are right, I just don't want to see you, go pick up your wife quickly."

Jiang Xiaoci thought that since it was only a few steps away from the matchmaking agency, Han Jingyuan must have come to pick her up for something else.

She took Han Jingyuan's arm and walked a little further away before asking, "Didn't you say you were going to switch shifts with a colleague? Why are you back again?"

Han Jingyuan said, "It's not a shift change. I didn't want to come to my cousin's opening party, so I worked overtime at the police station. My aunt came over and said she wanted to talk to us. I was afraid that my aunt couldn't wait, so I came to call you."

So that's how it is. Jiang Xiaoci felt it was a coincidence. She was just thinking that Ji Qinglan looked like her aunt, and then her aunt came.

She said, "I just wanted to ask my aunt if she has any photos of her when she was young."

Han Jingyuan asked: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Jiang Xiaoci said: "Think about it now, do Ji Qinglan's eyebrows and eyes resemble your aunt's?"

Han Jingyuan had received training in the police academy, so he noticed it immediately after Jiang Xiaoci reminded him. However, he felt disgusted with Ji Qinglan in his heart and didn't want to think about it before, but now that he compared them, they did look a bit alike.

The two people thought of the same thing almost at the same time: the identity of the man Ji Qinglan married was very suspicious.

Jiang Xiaoci just heard from her cousin that Ji Qinglan married an old man.

She said, "I heard from my cousin that Ji Qinglan married a very rich old man, and He Zongxu married my cousin, who has a very rich biological father. He Zongxu took Ji Qinglan's child away and then adopted him with my cousin. So, could the old man that Ji Qinglan married be my cousin's biological father?"

This series of arrangements made one or two years in advance were flawless, and Han Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He said: "According to He Zongxu's watertight calculations, this is very likely. It just so happens that my aunt has contacted us again, so let's see if it's about this matter."

…

The two returned to the matchmaking agency and invited their aunt to come in and sit down. Jiang Xiaoci made a pot of good tea. When people came to the house, they all liked to talk in her bright kitchen with a large window that overlooked the small garden.

"Aunt, Brother Han said you wanted to talk. Actually, we have guessed a little bit. Is it related to the rich man that Ji Qinglan just married?"

Seeing that they had guessed it, Zhang Rumei sighed that the young couple were really smart, and she didn't hide it anymore and said directly:

"There are some things I didn't want to say, and some people I don't want to mention anymore, but since Wen Yu's biological father didn't keep his promise, there's no need for me to hide it."

Jiang Xiaoci and Han Jingyuan looked at each other and realized that they had guessed correctly.

Zhang Rumei continued, "Today, Wenyu Hotel held its opening party. I heard that Ji Qinglan also went there. In fact, I have met that girl before. I even went to find out some of her stories. The man she married, Xue Hongdong, is indeed Wenyu's biological father."

Zhang Rumei paused, looking very distressed: "You don't know, just a few days ago, Ji Qinglan did something very outrageous and stupid."

"She actually sneaked into the house through the back door and tried to take away the baby that Wen Yu had adopted. Jiu Xiang called for people to catch her on the spot. She gave a ridiculous excuse, saying that after taking the child away, she pretended to intercept the human traffickers and rescued the child, so that Wen Yu would be grateful to her and establish a good relationship with her so that they could reconcile and recognize each other as father and daughter."

The matter was kept secret so well. It seems that my cousin is really capable in management and was able to keep the chefs in the back of the restaurant who knew about it from saying a word.

Jiang Xiaoci asked hurriedly, "Aunt, what kind of person is my cousin's biological father? Regardless of whether he is a bad person or not, money does not distinguish between good and evil. It only depends on who uses it. Why did you stop my cousin from taking it?"

Zhang Rumei said: "Because I was too scared of Xue Hongdong. All his money was not legitimate and he was very hypocritical. I was young at that time and I met him by chance. I was attracted to him at once. It was not until I became pregnant that I found out that I looked 50% like his first wife, the first woman he loved."

Zhang Rumei shudders every time she thinks of that experience.

"Do you know? In order to save his life, Xue Hongdong pushed his wife to a group of bandits for their enjoyment. After the bandits let down their guard, he escaped. Afterwards, he brought people back to avenge his wife, but I couldn't stand it, so I decisively broke up with him."

Han Jingyuan felt a chill when he heard this and asked, "Aunt, you were pregnant with his child at that time. How could a man like him let you go?"

Zhang Rumei rubbed her arms and still felt scared.

She explained, "My dad and your grandpa are sworn brothers, and he entrusted me to him. Your grandpa has some means, and the world was in chaos before liberation, so he could spend some money to settle some things. So he found a middleman to negotiate with Xue Hongdong, and he and I would never meet again in this life. But I never expected that he would actually send someone to find your cousin. He could even give up his favorite lover, let alone Wen Yu, whom he had never met."

My aunt was still very clear-headed and made decisive decisions, but my cousin did not learn her decisiveness.

Jiang Xiaoci agreed: "In order to save his life, he used his wife to deceive the bandits. If he encounters other problems in the future, he will definitely push my cousin out without hesitation. Aunt, people like him cannot be trusted."

Zhang Rumei said, "I'm just afraid. Xue Hongdong knows that he has done many evil things and doesn't dare to come back, so I let Ji Qinglan come back. You see, the streets have changed dramatically in the past two years. Money is something that can easily blind people. Your grandfather is old, and when my father entrusted me to him, I treated him as my own father. I couldn't bear to make him worry anymore, so I had to discuss this with you."

Jiang Xiaoci and Han Jingyuan now knew some of the previous events and figured out a lot of things.

But after talking so much, my aunt herself didn’t know what result she wanted, so she couldn’t come up with a plan.

Jiang Xiaoci said, "Aunt, the hotel is only a few steps away from my matchmaking agency. I'll help you keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, I'll come over and tell you."

Han Jingyuan assured: "I will also keep a close eye on Ji Qinglan."

This is actually what Zhang Rumei meant. She hoped that these two lucky couples could help pay more attention. It is better than having no one know about it.

"Okay, then aunt thanks you first."

They had almost finished talking about the important things when Qian Meiping from next door happened to be calling someone outside, still using the code word agreed upon between Han Jingyuan and her.

Han Jingyuan stood up and said, "Xiaoci, you are the best at comforting people. Please comfort your aunt. Sister Meiping must have seen some fresh vegetables and brought some for us. I will go out and get some, then go back to the police station. Wait for me to come back and cook in the evening."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhang Rumei felt much better after she told him the secret she had been keeping in her heart. Her tone became more relaxed and she joked, "You two just got married, how come you get along like an old married couple?"

Jiang Xiaoci was actually happy to hear this, and said to Han Jingyuan: "I told you that I always felt like I knew you a long time ago, but you still didn't believe me. I was right, wasn't I? Even my aunt felt the same way."

Han Jingyuan smiled and rubbed her hair, but unfortunately he didn't hear any further conversation. Maybe it was not the right time yet.

Feng Jiuxiang was reborn, so she should have heard about the major events that happened during this period from other people's mouths.

But judging from her rebirth, what she knew might not be the whole truth. It would be better to trust my own investigation than to trust her.

…

After Han Jingyuan came out, Qian Meiping handed the basket of vegetables to Han Jingyuan. It was the first time for her to do such a tip-off, so she was a little nervous. She couldn't help but look around before saying:

"Xiao Han, you asked me to keep an eye on your cousin's family, especially Feng Jiuxiang. Fortunately, you observed carefully. That child looks quiet and honest, but she is really not simple. I heard her tell her family that she went out to play with other children, but she actually took the bus to the train station. Although there are many stops along the way, I just feel that she is going to the train station."

Feng Jiuxiang has the body of a nine-year-old child, but the soul of an adult who has lived for twenty years. Today, there should be something important happening to her.

Han Jingyuan asked, "How long has she been in the car?"

Qian Meiping said: "In less than five minutes, I saw her get into the car and she came right over."

Han Jingyuan nodded: "I'll go after her now. If she really goes to the station, I should be able to run into her."

Qian Meiping was able to help Han Jingyuan, and she felt quite proud that she was doing a good thing for the police.

Han Jingyuan arrived at the station. Fortunately he did not delay and waited for the second train to the train station.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Feng Jiuxiang, who was already held under the arm of an old lady. The old lady kept hitting her in the face and scolding her, "You little girl, you only know how to steal money from home at such a young age, and you even want to run to find your mother. Your mother ran away with a strange man a long time ago and doesn't want you anymore. Come back with me quickly."

The old woman who was a human trafficker was too arrogant, but this trick could scare people. Suspicious passers-by were threatened by her two burly sons and did not dare to step forward.

Han Jingyuan weighed it up and decided that the old woman was not to be feared. He planned to pick the weaker of the two strong men first, and hit him so hard that he could not resist, and then deal with the other one.

He did so. After the two sons who were guarding the old woman on both sides were knocked down by him, four or five people rushed out from all around to assist in the connection.

These people were carrying weapons, including iron rods and daggers. This time, Han Jingyuan was a little overwhelmed.

At this critical moment, a tall figure who had just left the station smashed the bag in his hand hard on the head of the nearest short man, knocking him unconscious, and then joined the fight.

With two against more than many, the traffickers were soon knocked to the ground, wailing. The old woman had little fighting power and was grabbed and handcuffed.

Han Jingyuan patted Jiang Yunzhong on the shoulder, and was surprised and delighted: "Jiang Yunzhong, why are you here? You didn't even call to let me know before you came."

Jiang Yunzhong said, "It's a good thing I'm here. You're alone against so many people, you must be injured. Xiaoci will be sad to see this. She is pregnant now. You have to take care of yourself. Why are you patrolling here alone? You should be with your colleagues, right?"

Han Jingyuan said: "I came here alone today for a personal matter. It's a long story. What about you? Why did you come here alone?"

Jiang Yun replied, "I'm here for official business, and it's a long story."
