"What do you mean?" Aunt Chi stopped eating, frowned at Aunt Lou, and said unhappily, "My family has never had any dealings with the Wang family, so how could this be related to my family?"
What's wrong?
Now, Aunt Chi gets really annoyed when she hears about these trivial matters.
"Really. But that's not what I meant. You'll understand once I explain it to you."
Aunt Lou stood up, looked outside, and only returned to sit next to Aunt Chi after confirming that no one was around.
Old Man Chi was embarrassed and moved away.
What is that old woman doing squeezing between him and his wife? Doesn't she know how to avoid suspicion?
"Let me tell you, the two of them have only argued once since they got married. It seems that it was because Li Cong wanted to study in the capital, but he needed the Wang family's financial support."
Miss Wang Qi was unwilling and refused, leading to a fierce argument. She even went back to her parents' home because of this.
I thought this scholar was too proud to ask his wife to come to his father-in-law's house and humble himself to serve him.
Unexpectedly, Li Cong went the very next day. Everyone was envious, and Wang Qi's parents were extremely proud.
But from then on, Wang Qi Gu Niang listened to Li Congyan's every word!
At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. You see, maybe the young couple just got along well and stopped arguing. And there are quite a few women who are very obedient to their husbands.
But this time, I knew that Miss Wang Qi was determined to give the cloth shop to her stepson, and I felt something was off. Then I inquired further.
Take, for example, the time shortly after their marriage when Li Cong and Wang Qi had a fight over Li Cong's desire to study in the capital. Afterwards, Wang Qi still gave Li Cong money.
They say they've given her a lot of money over the years. This Miss Wang is incredibly shrewd; even her parents say their daughter seems like a completely different person, refusing to listen to anything they say!
The more I listened, the weirder it seemed. Didn't you tell me about your second child before? I said, "Doesn't this sound familiar?"
After all that Aunt Lou said, this last sentence is the key point!
Otherwise, why would she come to the Chi family to gossip about the Wang family that Aunt Chi doesn't care about?
Isn't that what it's all for?
Aunt Chi's mouth involuntarily opened, and she slapped her thigh with a mixture of hatred and fear, gritting her teeth as she said:
"That's right! Back then, it was all thanks to that Meng family kid's cousin who said my second son was bewitched by some kind of love potion! What a heartless thing to do."
"So it seems that this Miss Wang Qi might also have been poisoned by this Gu poison?" Old Man Chi asked curiously.
He just didn't understand.
What's wrong with young people these days?
Why do we have to hurt others to live a good life?
Aunt Lou said mysteriously, "I think something's definitely not normal. Think about it, although the Wang family doesn't have sons or grandsons, they do have grandsons-in-law."
"Hey, hasn't Miss Wang Qi been married for three or four years? Why is there still no news?" Aunt Chi asked curiously.
The commotion here refers to pregnancy.
Generally speaking, a woman will get pregnant within two or three years of getting married.
Of course, some women get pregnant later in life.
However, given all the events that have occurred before, bringing up the fact that Wang Qi has not been pregnant at this point is not so simple.
Aunt Lou shook her head: "It seems that Li Cong is even more anxious than Miss Wang Qi. Ever since the second month after their marriage, Li Cong has been taking Miss Wang Qi to see a doctor."
The tonic medicine prescribed was personally brewed by Li Cong for Wang Qi to drink every day.
Even if Li Cong goes to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, her stepson will help brew the medicine, so Miss Wang Qi won't have to do it herself.
There was also a hint of envy in his words.
Putting aside other aspects, Li Cong is still very manly in this regard.
He not only treats his wife well, but also personally brews her medicine, a practice that has remained unchanged for three or four years.
"In so many families, if a woman doesn't get pregnant within two years of marriage, the husband gets really anxious. But Li Cong, well..."
"Don't you think there's a big problem?" Aunt Chi suddenly interrupted Aunt Lou.
She said, "Li Cong doesn't do any housework, but she's insisted on brewing medicine all this time. And when she's not home, her son has to brew the medicine himself... I don't think this medicine is necessarily good for Miss Wang Qi."
After all, if Wang Qi didn't have children, it would be great news for Li Cong.
That way, the father and son can divide the Wang family's assets.
"...Really? What man would complain about having too many children?"
Aunt Lou could hardly believe it.
Look around, which family doesn't have several children?
Can……
Why does it seem to make more and more sense the more I think about it?
The two old sisters looked at each other, one affirming, the other even more certain.
"They're such scoundrels."
"What should we do then?"
"We can't very well tell the Wang family about any kind of Gu poison."
That's true.
After all, the Chi family was unwilling to talk about what happened to Chi Erchuan back then.
Especially now that Chi Erchuan has become an official.
So, shall we just watch the show?
I felt a little uncomfortable.
“Well, actually, we can leave aside the matter of the Gu poison. But I think if it’s confirmed that Li Cong has been giving Miss Wang Qi contraceptives for the past three years… that would also be a crime.”
When the time comes, as long as Li Cong is arrested, we can follow the clues and perhaps even find out if there really is a case of Gu poison.
After seeing Aunt Lou off, Aunt Chi felt uneasy.
Looking at the table full of food, she couldn't eat anymore. She sighed and said, "Tell me, if it really is a Gu poison, is it related to what happened to the second son back then? Are there really that many people in the world who know this?"
But back in their hometown, they were so far away from here, how could that be possible?
To say there was absolutely no connection would leave her with lingering doubts.
"Hey, why think so much? Just wait and see. The Wang family won't let anyone bully them."
Old Man Chi couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He stood up, cleaned the table and dishes, chatted with his wife for a while, and then went to take a nap.
It's not good to go to sleep right after eating.

"Miss, someone from the capital has come to see you." Jiu Li quietly approached Chi Tang.
Chi Tang, who was talking to Yun Zhao about ceramic DIY, blinked, then said with a normal expression:
"Sister Yun Zhao, I have something to do. Let's talk later."
"good."
Yun Zhao put down his pen and readily agreed.
She looked at the notes she had taken down from Chi Tang on the desk, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Tangtang is truly intelligent!
More importantly, Tangtang didn't treat her like an outsider, which was good.
She must make the most of such a good start.
Liu Demiao has already left, but Aunt Chi likes Yun Zhao, so she asked her to stay a few more days.
Actually, Fifth Brother had always been curious about this. He had clearly explained everything to his mother, so why did she still want Yun Zhao to stay?
