Lingyin prayed silently, "It's fake, it has to be fake."
Qiao Lian'er asked, "What kind of people are in the family now?"
Her voice sounded calm and steady, but she was actually very nervous, her palms were sweaty, because she couldn't see the real situation and was afraid that something might really happen to Dayong.
“Xi’er and Xinghe were in the back room, and Grandma was pruning the branches. There were four soldiers guarding the door.”
Qiao Lian'er's expression shifted. There were still soldiers. That was great. It seemed that once the people were gone, her family had become more vigilant.
Such a large house is like a piece of fat meat in the countryside.
"Send one soldier to the camp, and another to that address to assess the situation."
"Summon the Qiao family and Xinghe to the central courtyard to guard you. The remaining two soldiers will search the house to see if there are any suspicious persons. If so, arrest them immediately and wait for interrogation."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Lingyin wiped away her tears. It was Lian'er who came up with a solution immediately.
Upon hearing the order, the two soldiers at the gate quickly sprang into action.
Lingyin went to the backyard and called Qiao Xier and Mu Xinghe over. The two elders of the Qiao family also returned with pig feed, and the yard suddenly became much busier. Lingyin then asked the remaining two soldiers to check the surrounding area.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Qiao Xi'er asked.
“I overheard some things, but I don’t know if they’re true or not. I’ll have them investigate. Now we should gather together so that those people don’t cause trouble while the yard is empty.”
Seeing Lingyin's pale face, Madam Feng's heart tightened, and she quickly pulled her into her arms: "Don't be afraid, wait for news. What did you hear?"
"Let's talk about it later," Lingyin said. "Those words were really unpleasant to hear."
It's still uncertain whether it's true or not. If it's true, my family will find out sooner or later. If it's false, we can find out later, and it's not a big deal.
Song Xiaohua and Song Daming hid in the corner of the wall and waited for a while, but Lingyin did not come down from the window, so they couldn't help but wonder.
"What's wrong with you? Your husband is about to die, and you're not worried at all? Does this pregnant woman have someone else on the side, hoping her husband dies soon so she can be with her lover and the child in her belly is his?" Song Xiaohua was getting impatient and her words were harsh.
"Strange, they're still nowhere to be seen. Did they faint?" Song Daming had another guess.
Unbeknownst to them, two soldiers stealthily approached from behind and quickly subdued them.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The two men screamed and struggled desperately, but they were no match for the strong and powerful soldiers.
They were quickly dragged into the yard.
"These two are hiding in the corner of the wall outside Chief Qiao's room, acting suspiciously," a soldier said.
Upon seeing that it was a member of the Song family, Old Mrs. Qiao felt the veins on her forehead throbbing; despite her advanced age, she still had the urge to beat someone up.
"Those two brats, they're definitely up to no good, wandering around our house like ghosts, what's their purpose?" Old Mrs. Qiao sneered.
"We were just passing by when you stopped us. What are your motives?" Song Xiaohua denied angrily.
I don't know how the pregnant woman suddenly became so perceptive. Was it just a feint all along?
“Exactly, does that mean we can’t walk outside your yard wall?” Song Daming scoffed.
Ling Yin's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder the two people's voices sounded familiar when she was in the room; it really was the Song siblings.
She exclaimed excitedly, "It's the two of you! Okay, are you lying? You're just doing this on purpose so I can hear you?"
"What are you saying, you pregnant woman? I don't understand." Song Xiaohua rolled her eyes.
Madam Feng immediately slapped her across the face: "You little slut, how dare you insult my daughter-in-law like this? Your parents didn't raise you properly, so I'll raise you myself."
The slap was really hard; Song Xiaohua stumbled and fell to the ground, covering her face and glaring at her hatefully.
Grandma Qiao's face was sullen. Judging from Yin'er's appearance, she must have suffered a great shock.
