Having experienced such a huge family upheaval in a short period of time, from a little girl who was being protected to someone who had to protect her whole family overnight, it's hard not to change.
So he really felt it was better not to ask.
Asking this question would undoubtedly force Zhu Qinghao to relive those events and experience that pain once again.
But if he said that he came here for no reason other than to tell half of what happened about Sheng Yi, no one would believe him.
However, he was quick-witted and suddenly thought of something else, which he blurted out without thinking.
"What happened at home back then was too sudden. It can't be that simple, can it? And my uncle was transferred just like that, isn't it...?"
Zhu Qinghao didn't intend to hide anything from this matter; having more people involved might provide another way to gather information.
Upon hearing Zhu Qi'an's question, she answered seriously:
"Yes, I brought this news home, and I overheard two drunken Red Guards talking about it on the way. They even mentioned my uncle in their conversation."
So this was definitely premeditated, but I haven't been able to find out who's behind it..."
At this point, Zhu Qinghao's face also showed a hint of sorrow.
When I was first reborn, my heart was filled with concern for the safety of my family. I followed the deputy director of that committee, Uncle Shu and his nephew, for several days, but I still couldn't figure out who the person they were talking about was.
It might be difficult to figure it out later.
Seeing the worry between her brows, Zhu Qi'an offered words of comfort:
"It's alright, we'll take it slow. The best thing is that everyone in the family is safe and sound. As for the people behind this, they'll come out eventually. There's no point in thinking about it now."
Zhu Qinghao actually understood that what he said was true, and she usually liked to comfort herself in this way.
But she really can't feel completely at ease until the person is found.
However, on the surface, she obediently agreed to Zhu Qi'an's request.
"Okay, let's wait for them to surface, and then we'll deal with whatever they say."
Zhu Qi'an felt much relieved to see that she had taken his advice to heart.
He was genuinely afraid that Zhu Qinghao was reckless and would go to investigate on her own. He didn't know if she would find anything, and it was easy to alert her, which might even hand him over to her.
However, he didn't know that Zhu Qinghao really thought that way.
Zhu Qinghao had already decided that after the spring planting this year, she would take leave to go back to the capital to deal with the Liu family. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, who was still nowhere to be found, she decided to go and see if she could find out anything.
Zhu Qi'an was leaving early the next morning, so he didn't stay with Zhu Qinghao for long. By the time the second batch of steamed buns was ready, the brother and sister had finished chatting.
Previously, Zhu Qinghao had jokingly said she wouldn't see him off, but when it came time to actually part, it was Zhu Qi'an who didn't want her to see him off.
So when he left, he consciously took all the things that Zhu Qinghao had prepared with him, so that she wouldn't have to come back the next morning, no matter how much Zhu Qinghao tried to stop him.
"You can stay here. I'll see you off tomorrow morning. I'll even cook dumplings for you. There's a saying here, 'Dumplings for getting on the train, noodles for getting off.' Since we're here, let's do as the locals do."
Looking at his family who were so devoted to him, Zhu Qi'an felt powerless to refute them; it seemed he had no right to refute them at all.
But since this was Zhu Qinghao's place, he still tried his best.
"Really, it's not necessary. You should get some sleep tomorrow morning. My mom and aunt will cook. They were already preparing it when I came over tonight."
"If you cook it then, even if I want to eat it, I won't have enough mouth or appetite, right?"
