“They told me not to mention to anyone that my maternal grandparents had actually transferred my mother’s share of the property to me a long time ago.”

After his initial shock, Lin Erwu gave a wry smile. "What? Are you two afraid I'll hold a grudge?"

When they first got together, she was afraid he would have second thoughts about her, and she's still afraid now.

Lin Erwu shook his head helplessly, "Whether it's for you or for your mother, I've never thought about it. It's yours! You two can do whatever you want with it."

After Lin Erwu finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and almost forgot an important matter: "Your uncles haven't caused you any trouble, have they?"

They disagreed with giving the property to Zhaoyue's mother in the first place, so why would they agree to give the property to Zhaoyue now?

"They didn't even tell me about my grandparents' death; I only found out from other people."

Lin Zhaoyue said, "They also sold the small courtyard that my maternal grandparents left me without my permission, but they don't have a property ownership certificate. The courtyard is still mine. As for how they handled it in private, I don't know."

“That’s exactly what they’re capable of! But their methods go beyond that. You need to be vigilant and avoid going out unnecessarily. If you do go out, you must have someone with you.”

Lin Erwu, still worried, repeatedly reminded him, "And the two children at home, you have to be careful about everything, you can't be so careless anymore."

"Dad, do you mean they'd kill me for money?"

“Anything is possible. If your maternal grandparents were still alive, they might not dare to touch you, but since they are dead, they no longer need to worry about anything else.”

Lin Zhaoyue nodded solemnly. Her father was right. They should indeed be more careful from now on. Better safe than sorry.

"After all that, you still haven't told me why you're asking about these things?"

Lin Erwu steered the conversation back on track.

"I want to see if my grandparents' situation was an accident or if they were set up by someone."

“I think you’re overthinking this. If they really wanted to harm your grandparents, they would have done it long ago. Besides, you said they didn’t know your grandparents gave you this property. Even if they did know, they would have used coercion and bribery while your grandparents were alive. Now that they’re dead, they can’t get their hands on this property even if they wanted to.”

With the two elders gone, everything was set in stone and could not be changed.

Unless Zhaoyue takes the initiative to return the items.

"..." Is that so? Lin Zhaoyue felt that her father was only guessing at the moment, and that they still needed to find evidence.

"Zhaoyue, let me add one more thing. I understand how you feel right now, but from my perspective, I hope my daughter can give birth to the baby safely and without being affected by anything else."

Lin Erwu said earnestly that he had said all he could, and it was up to his daughter to decide what to do.

He supports Lin Zhaoyue if she still wants to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Alright, if you want to know anything else, you can ask me anytime, or you can send someone else. You don't need to make this trip yourself, it's too tiring."

After Lin Erwu finished speaking, he saw that he had to go deliver the food. "Your Aunt Qian's condition is getting more and more serious. She can only lie in bed. The doctor said that she definitely won't be able to give birth at full term. Now we're trying to keep her in the womb for as long as possible. She'll definitely need to stay in an incubator after she comes out."

"I'll go to the hospital to see Aunt Qian in a while."

"No need, no need. Just take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"My mother-in-law said the same thing. She was afraid I would go to so much trouble." Lin Zhaoyue smiled slightly. She didn't really feel anything. It would be really boring to stay at home all day. Coming out for some fresh air made her feel better.

"What I'm most pleased about is that you found a good marriage!"

Lin Erwu raised his hand and patted her hand reassuringly, "I won't say anything more. It's really too late now. If I'm late, your Aunt Qian will definitely throw a tantrum at me."

After Lin Erwu left, Lin Zhaoyue also planned to go home. She wouldn't stay home for lunch, as there was hardly anyone there, and it felt rather deserted.

Lin Zhaoyue can drive, but her mother-in-law won't let her drive after she got pregnant. Now she has a private car to pick her up and drop her off whenever she goes out. After getting into the car, she adjusted her seat to a comfortable position, but her mind was full of thoughts about her grandparents, and she didn't notice that something was wrong.

It wasn't until Lin Zhaoyue noticed that the car was taking a different route back that she spoke up to remind him, "Uncle Li, have you taken the wrong road?"

"Ah, the road we usually take is blocked. Let's take a longer route." Uncle Li, the driver, is Hua Xiuyun's family's most trusted driver, having worked with them for over ten years.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't think about anything else.

"Okay."

Lin Zhaoyue looked out the car window. After driving for another ten minutes or so, she still felt something was wrong. "Uncle Li, why are you driving further and further away?"

"This road is easier."

Uncle Li explained in a roundabout way.

“If I were from out of town, you could fool me, but I grew up in the city. What you just said doesn’t lie to me.”

Lin Zhaoyue said in a calm voice, feigning composure, "Stop the car!"

"..." Instead of stopping, Uncle Li accelerated. "Sorry, I have no choice but to do this. Just sit still!"

Lin Zhaoyue quickly realized that this person had been bribed!

The only people she'd offended recently were the Huang family. Lin Zhaoyue gripped the car door handle tightly. "I don't care how much money they offer you. I'll double it. Just take me home right now, and I can let bygones be bygones."

"It's too late to say all this now!"

Uncle Li kept apologizing, and Lin Zhaoyue was secretly anxious. Despite all her precautions, she couldn't keep up with the person next to her.

Where exactly is this person planning to take her?!

"Sudden!"

Lin Zhaoyue, with her sharp eyes, spotted a familiar figure outside the street and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Ren Zhaodi! Help me!"

Seeing this, Uncle Li floored the accelerator.

Ren Zhaodi: "..." She seemed to have heard something just now. Yue'er tugged at her arm, "Mom, is that Aunt Zhaoyue? What's she rushing off to?"

"You mean that voice just now was Lin Zhaoyue?"

Ren Zhaodi asked incredulously.

"Ah, I saw it was Aunt Zhaoyue. I thought she would stop and talk to us, but she just drove off like that!"

If Ren Zhaodi heard correctly, Lin Zhaoyue seemed to be saying "Help! She's in danger!"

"Yue'er, go home and wait for me. I have something important to do. Be good."

After settling her daughter in, Ren Zhaodi drove straight to the compound.

Regardless, the first priority now is to confirm whether Lin Zhaoyue is safe.

It would be best if she were alright, but if something happens, she can inform Jiang Jingzhou in time.
