Little Bell continued, "Oh, so that's great. I want to ask godfather to help me find out about someone."
Wu Bokai nodded. "Okay, tell me. What's your name? Where are you from?"
"His name is Zheng Rong, and he's from Shuanghe Village."
Wu Bokai turned to look at the lawyer standing beside him and said, "Master Tang, could you please help check this person and send the results over shortly."
Tang You's back was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare show it. He could only nod vigorously, "Yes, yes, I, I'll go check it out right away."
After saying this, he ran out in a hurry without waiting for Wu Bokai to say anything.
Wu Bokai subconsciously felt something was wrong and frowned.
Little Bell snorted coldly, "Godfather, find someone to keep an eye on him. There's something wrong with this guy."
Wu Bokai believed Xiao Lingling's words without a doubt and nodded immediately.
"Okay, you guys go in and accompany your godmother first. I'll make the arrangements. Talk to me about everything later."
Xiao Lingdang was eager to see the bad guy caught, so she and Wu Tongtong quickly made way and let Wu Bokai go to the front yard.
It was Qinghe's appearance that brought the two back to their senses.
"Miss, Miss, you're here! Madam was just talking about you, and you're here! You're really in sync."
Wu Tongtong smiled at Qinghe and said, "Really? Sister Qinghe, how is my mother doing recently? Is she in good health?"
"Madam is doing well. She has been living in Shuanghe Village for a while and she feels much more relaxed.
After returning, the master would chat and take a walk with his wife whenever he had time.
Madam has become a little rounder, but she occasionally misses the two young ladies."
As they talked, they walked towards the backyard. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Xia Yan watering the flowers in the yard.
"Mom~~~~I'm back!"
"Godmother~~I'm here to see you too!"
When Xia Yan heard the voices of the two babies, she quickly threw the water scoop in her hand aside and walked towards them.
"Oh, you two little girls, you finally thought of coming to see me? I think you almost forgot about me, your mother."
This was said with such a sour tone.
The two of them exchanged glances and started talking sweetly to each other.
"How is that possible, mother? Tongtong misses you so much and loves you so much. Look, we didn't even go to the stall to see you."
"Yes, godmother, I'm thinking of you all the time. Look, I brought a lot of nourishing herbs.
I prepared these for you and your little brother to nourish your bodies."
As Xiao Lingling said this, she put down the small basket on her back.
Inside are various nourishing herbs that she has packed separately. Adding a little bit of it when stewing soup will make it taste better and nutritious.
There is also a small jar of honey, into which she added some Lingchi water. Drinking it with water is good for the body.
When Xia Yan saw this and listened to their words, her heart melted and she stretched out her arms to hug them both.
"Mother believes in you and loves you the most. As long as you are well and grow up safely, mother will be the happiest!
Qinghe, hurry up and ask the kitchen to make some snacks that they like and send them over."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away!"
Xia Yan asked the other servants to retreat, and Qiaomei also obediently stepped aside to guard.
The mother and her two daughters sat together, talking and laughing happily.
Wu Tongtong talked about what she saw and heard in the village, and she and Xiao Lingling laughed from time to time.
Xia Yan leaned back in her chair, watching with a smile, her heart filled with the peacefulness of life.
Xiao Lingling touched Xia Yan's slightly bulging belly. It was almost four months, and she could feel the stable vitality inside.
"Be good, little brother. You'll be able to come out in a few months. Just be good and don't bully your mother.
This way, when you are born, your sister will definitely save a portion of all the delicious food for you.
But if you don't listen, be careful that your sister will spank your little butt, humph!"
I don’t know if the baby understood what Xiao Lingling said, but Xia Yan clearly felt the little guy in her belly move.
Little Bell also felt it and was a little surprised for a moment.
"Wow, the little brother is really moving. He understands, right? Right? Hahaha, the little brother is kind of well-behaved. I like it."
It was also the first time that Xia Yan felt the fetal movement, and her face had an incredible expression.
Before, she was worried that there might be something wrong with the baby. After all, there were obvious movements when she was pregnant with Tongtong, but this baby has always been very quiet.
However, because of the fetal movement just now, she finally felt relieved. She thought that the child just didn't want to see her suffer.
Just thinking about it made her heart warm.
How could she be so lucky to have three such well-behaved and lovely babies in her life?
She will definitely try her best to protect them, she will!
Although there was fetal movement, Xiao Lingling still took Xia Yan's pulse seriously.
Fortunately, everything is normal and everyone is relieved.
However, I don’t know if he encountered any problems, but Wu Bokai didn’t come back until almost noon.
Even Lin Hao and the others have been here.
Xiao Lingling was worried about Grandma Qiao, so she didn't go back with her second brother.
Lunch had just been served when Wu Bokai walked in with a gloomy face.
Xiao Lingling knew at a glance that he must have discovered something, "Godfather? What's wrong?"
Wu Bokai sighed and sat next to Xiao Lingling.
"Xiao Lingling, did you discover something before? Is that why you suddenly want to investigate Zheng Rong's affairs?"
There were no outsiders around at the moment, so Xiao Lingling didn't hide anything.
"Yes! I did notice something was wrong. Grandma Qiao from our village received the news that Zheng Rong had died and received compensation.
But perhaps because of the mother-son bond, she never believed that Zheng Rong was dead and went to the village entrance to wait for him every day.
I was curious, so I did some fortune-telling for Grandma Qiao and found out that Zheng Rong was really alive and had been promoted.
I felt that there must be something wrong, so I came to you for help, godfather.
So, what exactly is going on? Is it really related to that master?"
Wu Bokai nodded angrily, his words tinged with gritted teeth.
“I arranged for someone to follow him, and as soon as I found him out, I sent someone out to pass on a message and called a yamen runner.
Of course I know all the bailiffs in the county government. That man is called Zhuo Yi, and he was recommended by Tang You a few years ago.
At the time, I only heard him say that he had some education and was a good person. Since we were short on runners at the time, I agreed.
I just had someone check and discovered that these two people are actually related."
Wu Bokai had no place to vent his anger, so he slapped the table.
"Not only that, the most important thing is that these two people dared to embezzle military funds in private. They are simply so audacious!
Just now, the two of them were plotting, but they were discovered by the people I arranged, and they have all been detained."
