Zheng Sanlang asked, "Mother, did you kill Grandfather? Were all the people involved dealt with?"
Madam He smiled and said, "Sanlang, don't worry. I had someone lure your father to do this, so it has nothing to do with me. If anyone investigates, it's your father's problem. Besides, it's been more than ten years, who would bother to investigate this?"
Zheng Sanlang was finally relieved.
After talking with Mrs. He for a while, Mrs. He left, reminding him once again before leaving to do well in the exam.
Zheng Qiu remembered that when Bai Yi carried Zheng Qilang back to the courtyard last night, it was like carrying a wooden puppet.
Zheng Qilang was completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer the questions asked to him.
The man in white put him down, and he stood there blankly.
No matter how much Zheng Qiu shouted or hit him, it was no use. It was only after Bai Yi carried some pills that Gu Xin usually made that he gave Zheng Qilang one before carrying him to bed.
Zheng Qiu then asked what the person in white had said.
After hearing this, Zheng Qiu wasn't surprised. During her six months in Beijing, she had inquired about many things. She and her brother both felt that their grandfather's death was suspicious, but they hadn't found any evidence.
After He was made the official wife, the elderly people who served her in the household were either dismissed or sold off, leaving mostly the people who had served the old lady.
Now that He Shi has told the truth herself, Zheng Qiu doesn't feel angry. Her anger towards He Shi has long since reached its peak, and she has long since learned to control her emotions. Therefore, she can listen calmly, unlike her younger brother Zheng Qilang, who was completely stunned when he suddenly heard the truth.
"That He family is truly vicious!" Gu Xin couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this.
Lu Zheng already knew the situation in his previous life, and in that life, Zheng Qiu completely brought down the Marquis of Yong'an and his wife through her own abilities.
However, in her previous life, Zheng Qiu was unable to cure her brother's leg, and her brother still held onto hope for He Shi until his death.
"What was your Qilang's reaction when he woke up today?" Lu Zheng asked.
“He’s grown up a lot overnight. I think he can digest it slowly. Although he was spoiled by the He family, he’s not stupid. I plan to go and see him again in a couple of days,” Zheng Qiu said.
"Xiao Qiu, your brothers are getting better slowly. As for your family's situation..." Gu Xin wanted to ask when Zheng Qiu would take action against those scumbags in their family.
“Come after Zheng Sanlang finishes the imperial examination!” Zheng Qiu said calmly.
Compared to He Shi, Zheng Qiu looked down on Zheng Sanlang even more. He would talk about how he was the eldest brother and the seventh brother, but he knew the reason himself. However, he did nothing and enjoyed everything with a clear conscience.
Therefore, Zheng Qiu had no intention of letting the He mother and her two children go.
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything. I'll always be here for you," Gu Xin said.
“Okay, I won’t be polite. I already said last time, I’ll be your slave for life!” Zheng Qiu said.
"Great! I'm going to make you work like a slave while you're still single. Once you're married, I won't dare make you work like a slave anymore!" Gu Xin laughed.
"Huh?" Zheng Qiu didn't understand Gu Xin's meaning at first and looked at Gu Xin in confusion.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. Let's eat. Oh my, this crispy pork is fried really well. Yuan Yuan, have one!" Gu Xin laughed and changed the subject.
