Chapter 249 Let them bite if they want
Zhou Qingdai's child is gone, and the good thing that Wen Zimei had been waiting for all these years has turned into a disaster in an instant.
"Where is the person? Have you caught him?" Wen Zimei asked seriously.
The son-in-law looked at Wen Zimei's condition and knew that she was angry. He was also very angry about this matter, but there was nothing he could say.
After all, her father and mother were there. They all thought that Zhou Qingdai was careless, and even if the fetus was firmly seated, she should be taken good care of at home.
It's not right to always go to your mother's house.
"They were almost caught, but those beggars are more familiar with the terrain of the city, and I don't know where they disappeared to." The son-in-law said hesitantly.
When Wen Zimei heard this, he was so angry that his face turned pale: "He ran away? How do you do things? How could you let him run away?"
The son-in-law lowered his head, not daring to look into Wen Zimei's eyes.
"We weren't that prepared at the time. When we knew something was wrong with my wife, our minds were all on her. By the time we reacted and tried to arrest her, it was already too late."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zimei felt a surge of anger and blood rushing to his head: "Those people killed your son, and you're just going to make light of it? Since they haven't been caught, then keep sending people to catch them!"
At this time, Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law also spoke up: "Mother-in-law, don't be too angry. We have asked someone to investigate this matter and will definitely give you an explanation."
Wen Zimei looked at her and sneered, "An explanation? What explanation can you give me? My daughter rode in your carriage, and such a big incident happened, and now you can't even catch her, and this is all you can give me?"
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law's face turned grim when she heard this.
"Mother-in-law, what you said is wrong. Qingdai is in our family, and we have never treated her unfairly. No one wanted this incident to happen, so how can you blame it all on us? If it weren't for our experienced driver, I'm afraid she would have been thrown out of the car. Not to mention the child, she might not have been able to save herself..."
After hearing this, Wen Zimei felt even worse.
Just as she was about to quarrel, Ye Lanxin persuaded her to stop.
"Sister-in-law, now is not the time for internal strife. The incident has already happened. Let Qingdai recover from her injuries, and do your best to find those beggars. What if there are others behind them? How could this incident be such a coincidence?"
Wen Zimei immediately regained her senses and thought that Ye Lanxin was right about this matter.
Zhou Qingdai still has to live with her husband's family. She failed to keep the child this time. No matter what the reason, she will be disliked by her husband's family. If she makes a big fuss, it will definitely make her daughter's situation more difficult.
Thinking of this, Wen Zimei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"I'm sorry, my dear, I'm really feeling very uncomfortable. I'm going out to get some fresh air..."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Lanxin out.
Zhou Qingdai's eyes were filled with tears. Her mother must be very devastated at this moment.
This was the first time in all these years that she saw her mother almost lose control.
After going out, Wen Zimei took Ye Lanxin with her, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, thanks for reminding me, otherwise I almost did something stupid."
Ye Lanxin gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself too much. No one wants this to happen. The most important thing now is to let Qingdai recover well. Didn't the doctor say that even though this child is gone, as long as she takes good care of herself, Qingdai will have other children."
Wen Zimei nodded, then calmed down outside for a while.
At this time, my son-in-law and mother-in-law also came out.
Wen Zimei saw her mother-in-law and quickly stepped forward to say, "Mother-in-law, I was too impulsive just now. Don't take it to heart. I've been a widow for many years and I only have Qingdai as my daughter, so it's inevitable that I put all my feelings on her. That's why I lost control just now..."
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law's expression softened a bit after hearing this. "Mother-in-law, I understand the difficulties you've faced over the years, and I admire your steadfastness in remaining chaste and raising Qingdai single-handedly. Qingdai is our daughter-in-law, and she's pregnant with our first grandchild. We naturally can't pretend this never happened. We'll definitely find a way to get justice for Qingdai..."
At this time, the son-in-law who had been silent all this time also spoke: "Mother, I will also send people to continue searching for those beggars, and will not let any suspicious person go."
Wen Zimei looked at him with a hint of relief in her eyes: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Ye Lanxin: "Sister-in-law, please accompany me to see Qingdai again. I think she must be very scared now."
Ye Lanxin nodded, and the two of them stood up and walked towards Zhou Qingdai's room.
"County Lady, Zhou Qingdai's child is gone..."
At the Gu family, Nongchun reported the news he had just received to Gu Ruan.
Gu Runci did not stop the work in her hands. She was preparing some new medicines. Her reputation had already spread a long time ago, and many people had come to ask for medicine recently. She thought of simply opening a pharmacy that would only sell various Chinese patent medicines.
"Who did it?" she asked directly without even looking up.
"When a few beggars crossed the road, they disturbed Zhou Qingdai's carriage, causing it to lose control."
Gu Ruanci asked again: "Where is the beggar?"
"It is said that he was not caught and then disappeared."
Gu Ruanci paused and said, "It seems someone wants to make the situation in Dizhou City even more muddy and take advantage of the opportunity to do something."
Nong Chun asked, "County Lady, is someone trying to frame us?"
"There are only a few people who have grudges against Wen Zimei. Previously, under our guidance, the Ye family saw the shopkeeper enter the Zhou family. With Ye Chi's intelligence, he must have guessed where the people who hunted my mother came from. How could they let Wen Zimei go?"
Gu Ruanci curled his lips into a cold smile and continued, "That's good. The Ye and Zhou families are probably busy dealing with Wen Zimei right now, so they'll lead me into this. I'll have to find those beggars. Even if they've been silenced, I'll have to bring their bodies to Wen Zimei and let her know the truth... There's nothing more pleasing than dog biting dog."
After hearing this, Nongchun understood Gu Ruanci's plan.
"Don't worry, my lady. I will be very careful and won't let anyone find any clues." Nong Chun said with a firm face.
Gu Ruanci nodded slightly. She believed in Nongchun's ability. After all, he had been by her side for so many years and had always done things properly.
"Go ahead, and be careful." Gu Ruanci reminded again.
Nong Chun responded, turned around and left the room to arrange things.
At this time, Zang Xia walked in again and said, "County Lady, the Crown Prince sent over some land deeds. He said he learned that the County Lady wanted to open her own shop, and these plots of land just happened to have properties on them. He'll use them as medical fees for her."
