Chapter 835: How Is It? What Did the Gongan Bureau Say?

~4 min read 743 words

When Zhang Haitang returned, Xiao Nianchun had already finished eating.

Liu Chuxue stepped forward to support Xiao Nianchun: "Auntie, let me help you lie down."

Xiao Nianchun indeed felt some discomfort in her waist at that moment: "Alright, then I'll lie down for a while."

Just as she helped the person lie down, she saw Xiao Wanxia arrive as well.

Liu Chuxue called out to her: "Cousin, where did you send Yaoyang?"

Zhang Haitang also wore a look of disapproval: "Originally, with Kunming returning to the unit these past few days, Yaoyang has been in a bad mood; who did you send him to?"

Xiao Wanxia, afraid her mother would get angry, quickly spoke up: "I sent the person to the Great Courtyard."

Zhang Haitang immediately understood her daughter's intention, after all, the family had kept everything that happened today hidden from Miao Yiqiu.

Her health was poor, and they feared frightening her, so the Old Master had specifically instructed that this matter not be told to her yet.

After greeting her aunt, Xiao Wanxia said: "When I went over, she was just about to come to the hospital, so I left Yaoyang there and came over myself."

Xiao Nianchun wore a look of gratitude: "Wanxia, Auntie thanks you."

She knew clearly in her heart that her niece did this for her own mother's sake, not wanting her to worry and get upset.

Perhaps because family was accompanying her, or perhaps because she was sleepy after eating and her body couldn't take it, Xiao Nianchun fell into a doze after speaking only a few words.

Seeing her aunt asleep, Xiao Wanxia then signaled to her own mother and cousin.

The three of them left the ward one after another.

Xiao Wanxia then spoke: "Before coming, I went to check; my father-in-law's biological mother used the same old trick, kneeling before everyone in front of my father-in-law, and trying to use the same old arguments to make my father-in-law let his older brother off, abandoning the two children, Yiming and Yilin, for the sake of the eldest; when I arrived, the two children were gnawing on cold steamed buns.

I thought this matter probably wouldn't be resolved in a short while, so I sent the two children to the Great Courtyard as well."

Hearing these words, Zhang Haitang's face immediately turned cold: "If your father-in-law compromises again this time, I'll even want to advise your aunt to leave that family; what kind of things are these."

Xiao Wanxia actually disagreed: "It's not that I'm speaking for my father-in-law; he is truly quite innocent; mainly, his family is too good at dragging things down."

Zhang Haitang, however, did not agree: "He's innocent? If he had been tough from the very beginning, your aunt wouldn't have suffered this."

Thinking of how her young niece had lost her little life at only a few months old, her eyes immediately turned red.

Since marrying into the Xiao family, her sister-in-law had been close to her, never treating her sister-in-law with various criticisms like sisters-in-law in other families did.

Now that her sister-in-law had suffered such a trial, she felt heartache from the bottom of her heart.

As they were talking outside the ward, they saw Xiao Changjiang and Fu Yan Cheng arrive together.

A look of surprise flashed across Liu Chuxue's face: "Didn't you return to the unit? Why are you with Uncle?"

Fu Yan Cheng walked over to Liu Chuxue's side: "There was something to coordinate with the Gongan Bureau; I happened to see Uncle there as well, so we came over together."

At this time, Auntie was also asking Uncle: "How is it? What did the Gongan Bureau say?"

Xiao Changjiang coughed lightly: "It's nothing now."

He felt somewhat embarrassed; today he had indeed been a bit impulsive; if Fu Yan Cheng hadn't gone over, he probably wouldn't have been out by now; even if it didn't affect his work, he would likely have attracted a lot of trouble.

Only then did Liu Chuxue notice: "Uncle, where is Father-in-law? Why can't we see him?"

Fu Yan Cheng helped explain: "Father-in-law refused to compromise today; when his mother got anxious, she said she would cut off relations; Father-in-law also got stubborn, and after leaving the Gongan Bureau, he dragged his mother back to the village."

Hearing these words, Xiao Wanxia said angrily: "It's good to cut it off cleanly; it saves Auntie from feeling uncomfortable seeing them."
