Bai Jiaojiao's words made Bai Shiqing's heart skip a beat: "You mean...?"

Yang Changping was extremely stressed trying to find out who gave Yang An those false messages back then, while Bai Zhiman was also at home thinking so hard that he almost lost all the hair on his head.

The only reason Yang An could believe the news so readily was because he had a certain status and his words carried weight. But why would such a person discourage a young girl?

Another possibility is that this person has an extremely close relationship with Yang An, and Yang An would subconsciously believe 80% of what she says. In addition, given the impact of this news on Yang An, she simply has no room for doubt.

Bai Jiaojiao said, "They have a superficial relationship, but they probably hate each other to death in their hearts."

She was referring to both Ding Shifang's feelings for her and Qi Yu's feelings for Yang An.

Having experienced it firsthand, Bai Jiaojiao found it hard not to think this way.

Bai Shiqing immediately said, "Didn't the gift that Big Brother sent to Little Stone include a letter that Dad wrote to Grandpa? We should tell Uncle about this and let him reread the letter based on our guess."

Because so much time had passed, Bai Zhiman no longer had many unrelated people in his memory. Whenever he thought of something, he would immediately call Grandpa Yang, and the fragmented information was hardly of any use.

He hadn't slept for several days and wrote a long letter, starting from when he met Yang An. He wrote down everything in detail, from the people he had met around Yang An to the people Yang An had mentioned to him, as long as he could remember them, as if it were a diary.

Bai Jiaojiao said, "Okay, let's go tell them right away!"

Shen Heng, holding Shen Shi, spun around on the ground as he said, "Aren't the Yang family and the Qi family on good terms? What if your uncle doesn't believe us? After all, your aunt is here today. If there's anything wrong with Qi Yu, she'll definitely be able to tell."

Bai Shiqing retorted, "My aunt still thinks Qi Yu and my mother have a good relationship. Isn't she obviously being fooled by her? She definitely won't realize it."

Bai Jiaojiao also said, "No, this matter involves my mother. As for how much my uncle and grandfather care about my mother, even if my sister and I's guesses are very far-fetched, they will definitely investigate."

"Then I'll make the call now."

Bai Shiqing is an impatient person who can't wait even a second.

Yang Changping had just settled down at home when he received a call from Bai Shiqing.

"Uncle, didn't you and Dad analyze that someone close to Mom deceived her back then? Now Jiaojiao and I suspect that person is Aunt Yu!"

Yang Changping's skin tightened upon hearing this: "Why do you say that?"

"Her behavior today is nothing like that of my mother's old friend. Jiaojiao looks so much like my mother, and when she first saw Jiaojiao, she wasn't even surprised. You can ask my aunt if you don't believe me. Uncle, I think you can investigate in this direction."

“But your Aunt Yu had a very good relationship with your mother back then, and the Qi family also said that when your mother first disappeared, your Aunt Yu was depressed for quite a while.”

Yang Changping turned Yancheng upside down, but he didn't conduct any investigation into the Qi family.

The Yang and Qi families have been friends for three generations. Whether on the battlefield or after the war, they have always been loyal to each other. Yang Changping could never suspect them.

"Uncle, you can know a person's face but not their heart. I beg you to investigate this matter. I hope it's not true. Please take another look at the letter my father wrote to you and examine it carefully in this direction."

"Shiqing, don't worry, I'll go see."

After receiving confirmation from Yang Changping, Bai Shiqing hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Changping was filled with mixed feelings. On one hand, he felt incredulous, and on the other hand, he felt betrayed by Yang An. But at the same time, he was excited as if he was getting closer to the truth.

He had read that letter before, but now he was going to read it again with a different mindset.

.

Shen Heng wanted Bai Jiaojiao to have a double postpartum period, but later compromised and let her stay until half a month later when Bai Shibao got married.

The three Bai siblings and Yang Changping and his wife boarded the train to Shili Village at the same time. Because of his advanced age, no one dared to say what would happen if Old Master Yang sat on the train for a whole day, so he stayed in Yancheng with Yang Fenglin.

His purpose in staying in Yancheng was to receive some information.

Ever since Bai Shiqing called and tried to pin the matter of Yang An from back then on Qi Yu, Yang Changping found that things were getting increasingly out of control during his investigation.

The group of them, with three little kids, were all in a flurry of activity. Fortunately, Li Yang and Li Yun were a bit older now, and giving them some toys and candies and snacks that they didn't usually get to eat was enough to keep them quiet for a while.

Bored on the train, the two children soon fell asleep. Bai Shiqing whispered to Yang Changping, "Uncle, what about that thing I told you last time? Have you heard anything about it?"

“I’m still investigating. I have to make sure this is absolutely perfect.”

Bai Shiqing understood the hidden meaning in Yang Changping's words: they had already found Qi Yu, but needed more corroborating evidence.

Half a month has passed since then, and Bai Shiqing still doesn't know what it is that has made Yang Changping ponder for so long.

"Come on, Shi Bo, hold your nephew for a while and learn in advance, so you won't be clueless when Xin Yan gives birth!" Bai Shi Qing handed Shen Shi to Bai Shi Bo, letting Shen Heng and Bai Jiao Jiao rest for a while.

Bai Shibao carefully took the soft little baby, afraid that he might strangle the child if he used too much force.

However, Shen Shi's resilience seemed quite good; even while being held by his uncle, he reached out to Bai Shibo.

The seven of them gathered together, chatting and laughing, and time flew by. With the children entertaining them, it felt like no time had passed.

When everyone got out of the car, they saw that in addition to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, even the Guan family members had come over.

This was Bai Jiaojiao's first time meeting Guan Xinyan. Seeing her brother's face, which looked like an apple, as he stood there scratching his head and grinning foolishly, she was too embarrassed to go over and say a word to him. They didn't look like a couple who had already met each other's parents, submitted their marriage reports, and gotten married.

"You brat, why aren't you going over there yet?"

Bai Shiqing gave him a push from behind, and Bai Shibao finally reached the Guan family: "Uncle, thank you for coming with Xinyan."

“Our home is right here, there’s no trouble at all. Let’s go, let’s head back.”

Because of her pregnancy, Bai Jiaojiao didn't return to Shili Village last summer and Chinese New Year. This time, seeing Bai Shihai and Deng Min, she missed them quite a bit.

After Bai Shihai met his uncle and aunt, Yang Changping inquired about their recent situation.

"I have to thank my uncle a lot. Now Xiaomin and I are working in town, which makes things much easier."
