"That's not true at all!" Liu Guilan walked in, her eyes red. "My young lady isn't that petty! It's someone in your Qin family who wants to seize power and harm the child in your womb. My young lady was afraid something would happen to the child, so she had no choice but to leave the Qin family first!"
She stayed in her room the whole time because she didn't want her presence to affect Huo Xiao's emotions and judgment. However, when she heard Old Master Qin say that the young lady had run away from home because she had misunderstood him, Liu Guilan felt that she couldn't tolerate it.
Her young lady is not that kind of person.
“My young lady has been waiting for you to come and pick her up! She knows you have a strong sense of justice and that what you are doing is extremely important. Even on her deathbed, she said she didn’t resent you. How could she possibly run away from home because of a misunderstanding! You are underestimating my young lady too much!”
Old Master Qin's eyes welled up with tears, and his lips trembled. "I knew it, I knew she understood me best... Qingxue has always been the one who understands me best... I'm the one who let her down..."
Liu Guilan wiped her face. "Now that you've explained everything, let's just let it go. My young lady has never truly blamed you. But what about those who harmed my young lady? What do you plan to do?"
Old Master Qin took a deep breath. "After I investigated back then, I dealt with a number of people. Those in the Qin family who were detrimental to Qingxue were either killed or crippled."
The nurse at the hospital with whom he had an affair was also targeted. After it was discovered that someone was behind her, he didn't let her off the hook. He sent her to a rural area and made her marry a local, so she could never rise above others or climb the social ladder again.
His iron-fisted reputation in the military was not just for show.
Of course, because his methods were too ruthless and cruel, some people in his family were dissatisfied with him. This time, his misfortune was also due to someone interfering and colluding with others from the inside.
However, he did not intend to say these things.
Qin Zhenyuan has lived a life without shame before the country, his brothers, or his family. His only regret is towards Qingxue and their son.
Now that Qingxue is gone, all he wants to do now is make it up to his son.
"Don't worry, when I get back this time, I will continue to investigate and I will not let any of them escape!"
Not to mention Liu Guilan's worry, even he, after experiencing these ups and downs, has seen through many people and things. Now that he has a son and three grandchildren, he will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt them again!
Hearing what Grandpa Qin said, Liu Guilan's unhappiness and resentment finally dissipated somewhat.
At least, this person—her young lady wasn't wrong about him; he truly cares about her.
Huo Xiao snorted coldly: "As long as I find out that there is still someone in your Qin family who was involved in what happened back then and has not received the punishment they deserve, I will repay them tenfold or a hundredfold!"
When Old Master Qin heard Huo Xiao say this, he was not angry at all, but rather very happy. "Don't worry, I am just like you, someone who cannot tolerate any nonsense."
Huo Xiao snorted coldly, "Who's like you? Stop trying to get close!"
Old Master Qin coughed lightly, feeling uneasy.
That brat is really hard to fool; he saw right through it.
Only today has the relationship between the father and son finally begun to thaw.
Although they can't be as close as other fathers and sons, Huo Xiao no longer objects to Grandpa Qin coming to visit the children.
Ye Weiwei discussed with him about preparing a room for him at home, and Huo Xiao agreed.
Grandpa Qin happily moved into Ye Weiwei's house and stayed for another week, fully enjoying being a grandfather. He took care of his three grandchildren from morning till night, playing with them, and was even more diligent than Liu Guilan.
Finally, after several phone calls from Kyoto urging him to leave, he reluctantly departed.
Before parting, Old Master Qin specifically asked Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao for their opinions, thinking of transferring them back to Kyoto.
Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao did not give him a definite answer on the spot, only saying that they needed to discuss it with their families.
They'll go to Kyoto sooner or later, since Vivi's family lives there too.
But now, it's not the right time.
After all, he had only just met his relatives and was leaving now. Huo Xiao was afraid that Liu Guilan would overthink things and be sad.
Grandpa Qin expressed his understanding of this.
He was very grateful to Liu Guilan's family. It could be said that without Liu Guilan's family, he would not only have lost Qingxue, but also their only son.
This kindness is higher than mountains and deeper than the sea; it will never be forgotten.
After Grandpa Qin left, more people started visiting Ye Weiwei's house, many of them there to inquire about news.
After all, the whole village knew that Grandpa Qin had returned to work, and that he had been staying at Ye Weiwei's house these days, with guards accompanying him and being driven around. Everyone in the village had seen it all, and there were all sorts of rumors circulating.
Many people felt that Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao had married into a wealthy family and were about to achieve great success. Some villagers were envious, but many more were just sour grapes.
Zhao Yue'e and Aunt Zhou have been giving those envious patients a hard time these past few days.
Even when Liu Guilan went out to work, she was often subjected to sarcastic remarks.
"The Huo family, your family is quite something! I heard that old Master Qin in that shed is a big shot in the capital, a high-ranking official. If anything happens to your family in the future, wouldn't it be a matter of just a word from him?"
"The Huo family, don't forget us poor folks when you become successful! I don't think even the village chief and the brigade leader have as good a judgment as you!"
"That's really true! Not only did the best educated youth in the village become your daughter-in-law, but you also have the ability to befriend people in the shed. We people are no match for you; we just know how to honestly toil in the fields for a living."
"You all need to watch your words from now on. If you offend the Huo family, they might make things difficult for you. They have powerful backers; you can't afford to offend them!"
"..."
In that case, Liu Guilan can hear it whenever she goes out recently.
If those people think that saying these sarcastic remarks will make Liu Guilan angry and change her expression, then they are really overthinking it.
Liu Guilan always put on a smiling face, neither angry nor annoyed, and sometimes even chimed in with a few words.
"To be honest, I think my judgment is pretty good. Although it can't compare to those grown men, it's more than enough compared to you old women. My Weiwei is such a lucky girl, bringing good fortune to her husband and family. Since she came into the family, good things have happened one after another. I can wake up laughing in my dreams every day. Marrying a good wife brings good fortune to at least three generations."
Are they trying to sow discord between their family and the village chief and team leader?
Dream on!
Not to mention the village chief, the brigade leader was promoted by their third son and his wife, and they are very close to their family!
"You say my family has powerful backers that we can't afford to offend? Do you think the Huo family used to be easy targets?"
Liu Guilan easily suppressed those sarcastic remarks with a laugh, and the more she did so, the more wary outsiders became.
