Su Junyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly turned Jiujiu's body so that she was facing the corner. She should just sit there as punishment. If she got any older, she might not be able to escape the punishment of standing.
The practice of reflecting on one's mistakes should begin in childhood.
He led Su Changxu to a secluded place and asked him if he had found any clues on his trip to Huizhou.
Su Changxu nodded: "Big brother is indeed smart."
"I was delayed in Huizhou for a long time and met a medicine merchant there. He had business dealings with medicine shops in the capital. He told me that someone had bought a batch of Heart-Losing Grass from him and sent it to the capital."
The drug dealer's medicinal materials were seized in the capital, so he used his connections to find Su Changxu. He asked a few questions tentatively and actually found an unexpected person.
"The medicine merchant said that a woman who claimed to be from the Marquis's mansion once bought mind-controlling herbs from him, but the person who paid was a young boy."
"Not only that, the boy also gave him a sum of money to shut him up."
Merchants value profit, so they naturally won't talk about it after receiving hush money. If it weren't for Su Changxu's help, no one would have known about this matter.
The deaths of Nanny Qin and her daughter were suspicious, so Su Changxu suspected that the woman who went to the drug dealer to buy medicine was Nanny Qin. If nothing unexpected happened, the young man must be Qiao Muyang.
"How old is he to do such a vicious thing?"
Su Changxu still finds it unbelievable. Qiao Muyang grew up under his nose. Although he has no good feelings towards them, he never expected that he would be so vicious!
"Do you want to report it to the police?"
"No rush." Su Junyao raised his hand to stop Su Changxu who was about to leave. Seeing this, he didn't even dare to tell him his guess.
"Why?" Su Changxu didn't understand why they didn't report it to the authorities. "Are we just going to condone his evil deeds?"
Su Junyao would not let off any villain who wanted to harm his family so easily. If he took action, he would make sure that person never had a chance to fight back!
The source of the bewitching herb in the case of the startled horse in the east of the city has not yet been determined. Since Qiao Muyang happens to live in the east of the city, he is definitely involved. Both will be punished; this time, no one can save him!
"I have other plans for this matter. Send someone to bring the drug dealer back to the capital. Oh, and check on Nanny Qin."
He remembered that Nanny Qin was his mother's maidservant who had come with her as a dowry and had always stayed by her side to serve her. If his mother had been switched, Nanny Qin would have known about it, unless she was also involved in the incident.
Although the dead have no way to verify the story, a thorough investigation will surely uncover some clues!
"Brother, are you tired?"
Su Changxu looked at Su Junyao with concern. His elder brother's face was slightly pale, and his brows were full of sorrow, as if he had something on his mind.
Su Junyao chuckled lightly to cover it up, "It's nothing, I just have a troublesome matter on my hands. Tell me about it, have you and your second sister-in-law made up?"
Speaking of Su Changxu, his shoulders slumped. The tall and strong man hunched his back as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.
His lips were a little chapped, and his mouth hurt a bit as he spoke. "She came back to the capital with me for the sake of the He clan's future. We had a frank talk in Huizhou, and we should really end things here."
Su Changxu was reminded by his sister-in-law last time and he really regretted it and wanted to have a good talk with He Bei. After a heart-to-heart talk, he realized that there was no chance of redemption between them.
They will divorce after He Xunyuan goes to high school. This is what Su Changxu asked for, and it is his final compensation to He Bei.
After hearing this, Su Junyao didn't know what to say. All his unspoken words turned into a sigh. Fortunately, he had discovered his marital crisis early on; otherwise, he would have gone mad long ago if things had turned out like this with his third son.
"Alas, you..."
[My heart aches for men; they'll be unlucky for life!]
Su Junyao stopped and turned his head inexplicably. Qiuqiu had somehow gotten up and was crouching in a corner not far from them, acting furtively as if she wanted everyone to know she was eavesdropping.
Su Changxu followed Su Junyao's gaze and looked over, slightly surprised: "Chirp can crawl now?"
Chiu Chiu's little eyes locked onto her "that unlucky second uncle," her gaze finally settling on a certain spot.
I heard my second uncle wants to have a baby?
[If one wife can't have children, it's the wife's problem. But with so many wives who can't have children, hasn't Second Uncle ever considered that it might be his own fault?]
After all these years, haven't you ever thought about treating both husband and wife together?
Su Junyao felt that what Qiuqiu said made sense, and for a moment the look in his eyes towards Su Changxu became strange.
If that's the case...
"Sometimes you should pay attention to your health and go see a doctor!"
"What do you mean?" Su Changxu felt that the father and daughter were looking at him with pity.
He certainly deserved it.
I didn't appreciate it before, and now I deeply regret it!
"Don't worry about me, I can still manage. Although my relationship with Belle is over, it's a good thing that we can let go and forget each other in the world."
Su Junyao: “…”
Chiu Chiu: [People just need to be confident!]
My second uncle would rather his wife run away than doubt that he was infertile.
[Tsk, men~]
Su Junyao felt a throbbing pain in her temples. Who did she learn that from?!
Without any hesitation, he grabbed Qiuqiu by the back of her collar. "Sorry, I need to take care of some household chores first."
Chiu-Chiu obediently curled up her arms and legs and swayed from side to side. Despite her calm demeanor, she was actually quite afraid that her father might accidentally drop her.
Even though we've only known each other for a few months, you're like my own father!
Chiu Chiu's will to survive reached its peak in an instant: "Dad, I won't tell Mom you hid your secret stash of money under my bed, and I won't secretly take Mom to search your little treasure chest anymore!"
Please let me go!
Su Junyao's face was... well, let's just say it was awful!
Having a daughter is worse than having a piece of barbecued pork! It turns out she was the one who did it all!
"Second brother, sometimes not having children isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
Su Changxu: "???"
Now I know what it means to talk without understanding the situation. His older brother has five children!
Only his eldest brother's branch of the family had children. It was understandable that the third brother was weak and had few offspring, but how come he, in the prime of his life, full of vigor and vitality, also had no children?
It's unclear what Su Changxu thought of, but his face turned pale, his body stiffened, and he glanced at Su Junyao tremblingly before stumbling and running out.
He doesn't believe it!
Su Junyao sighed: "We can't ignore our illness and avoid seeking medical help!"
Chiu Chiu: [So, did my second uncle discover he can't have children?]
Looks like you already know.
Su Changxu rushed out of the Wenyang Marquis's residence, standing alone on the bustling street, yet he felt as if he were still in another world.
He wandered aimlessly through the streets, his body ice-cold, until he bumped into a young man dressed in a black robe at the end of the street.
He snapped out of his daze and said, "Sorry."
"Wait a minute, is this gentleman troubled by the matter of having offspring?"
Su Changxu: "???"
