The old man said with his eyes half-closed, "Call the third son back later and ask him if he said anything he shouldn't have to Tian Qingqing."

What I shouldn't say is what's under the mansion; if it gets leaked, the consequences will be dire.

"No, the third son wouldn't say that. He's a bit unreliable, but he's not stupid." The old lady still trusted the third son. To put it bluntly, this concerned the lives of the whole family. How could he say that? Su Mo didn't even know about it yet.

"Mom, ask Lao San later." Wu Zhi Qiu didn't believe that Lao San could tell her either.

Everyone was asleep when the third brother sneaked back.

"Mom, why did you call me back secretly? It's like we're meeting with underground party members." The third brother, with his shifty eyes, thought Wu Zhiqi was going to secretly give him some of the family's wealth.

Wu Zhiqi: "I'm asking you, when you were dating Tian Qingqing, did you say anything you shouldn't have?"

The third brother... he had completely forgotten about Tian Qingqing. Caught off guard by the question, he was dumbfounded. "What?"

“It’s that thing over there, have you mentioned it?” Li Mancang pointed to the ground.

The third son suddenly realized, "Dad, I'm crazy! How could I tell Tian Qingqing? Su Mo has been with me for over ten years and has had three children with me, and I've never mentioned it. How could I tell Tian Qingqing? That's a matter that could cost me my head. I wouldn't even say it in my sleep."

Wu Zhiqi: "We suspect that Deng Mingxia is behind this again. Our family only showed off our wealth when you got engaged to Tian Qingqing. That little bit of stuff isn't worth others coveting. Think about it carefully. When you were dating Tian Qingqing, did you make any boastful promises?"

So many years have passed, what does the third brother think? The Tian family was so well-off back then, what did they have to brag about? Besides, he didn't need to brag, it was Tian Qingqing who liked him.

Suddenly, the third brother looked at Wu Zhiqi.

Wu Zhiqi's heart skipped a beat; she had remembered!

Seeing the look in Lao San's eyes, Li Mancang knew that this bastard was the one who had caused the problem.

The third brother, with a shifty look on his face, opened the door and peeked inside, then went to look out the window.

Wu Zhiqi... This isn't a tenement; no one's eavesdropping.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the third brother asked Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi to put their ears closer.

Then, lowering his voice, he said, "Mom, I switched two of the things the Bai family hid. One of them was the bracelet I gave to Tian Qingqing."

Wu Zhi Qiu...

Li Mancang...

Wu Zhiqi said that she felt the bracelet looked better than when she bought it, and now she knew why.

Wu Zhiqi grabbed the third brother's ear and said, "How dare you touch anything? You're so bold."

The third son winced in pain, "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong. I was just unwilling to accept it. Our family put in so much effort and got nothing in return. What a loss! Ouch, Mom, please be gentle."

Li Mancang gave Lao San a couple of hard kicks on the buttocks. This guy was bolder than a donkey, daring to touch anything. If this hadn't happened, he would have kept it a secret for a lifetime.

"What's the story behind that bracelet?" Wu Zhiqi asked, punching the third brother twice.

The third brother shook his head. "How would I know? Do you think I could take the stolen goods around and ask around? Su Mo didn't want the bracelet, so I put it away."

"That's probably what caused it," Li Mancang said irritably.

"Could it be?" the third brother asked, feeling quite guilty.
