Chapter 1020: Mother-in-law was being followed

Her husband immediately cowered: "No, of course I have no objections, but if I do all the work, what will you do?"

Shi Youxuan: "I have very important things to do. You are responsible for the work, and I am responsible for praising you!"

Sheng Hanyu:...

She smiled smugly: "It's decided then. We'll go back, sign the papers, and press our thumbprints; no backing out!"

Her husband wouldn't give up and asked her: "You can't just do nothing, right? You can't be idle at your age; it's easy to get Senile dementia if you don't work."

"You dare to curse me?"

She twisted her husband's ear and left the airport.

After returning from grocery shopping, the mother-in-law nervously said to her daughter-in-law: "Xuanxuan, why do I always feel like someone is following me lately?"

Shi Youxuan: "Have you discovered who it is?"

The mother-in-law shook her head: "No. Every time I feel someone behind me and turn around to look, there's nothing there. Have I provoked something unclean?"

"Should I go to the temple to burn incense on the first day of the lunar month?"

Wang Yinghao was not a devout Buddhist; she was just like most people—praying to gods and Buddhas when in trouble, and forgetting about them when things were fine.

Shi Youxuan didn't believe in these things, but she didn't object.

"Alright, Mother, I'll go with you."

"Mm."

The mother and daughter-in-law went to the temple to burn incense, and Shi Youxuan even drew a fortune for her mother-in-law.

After interpreting the fortune, Shi Youxuan said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, the master at the temple said you are having bad luck with petty people this month. You need to be with someone born in the Year of the Tiger to turn bad luck into good fortune and overcome difficulties."

The mother-in-law believed it implicitly and began to calculate who among her family and acquaintances was born in the Year of the Tiger.

Coincidentally, after counting everyone she knew and her family members, she concluded: "There is no one in our family born in the Year of the Tiger."

The daughter-in-law said: "Nianyin was born in the Year of the Tiger. I'll call her and ask her to move back in for a while."

Nianyin moved in as a matter of course.

It wasn't just living at the Sheng Family home; she accompanied Wang Yinghao twenty-four hours a day, following her every step, even when she went to the market to buy groceries.

Ever since Nianyin arrived, that feeling of being watched like needles on one's back had indeed disappeared.

In fact, Shi Youxuan hadn't told her mother-in-law the truth; she was wondering if Zhu Qingrui hadn't gone to A Country?

Instead, he had snuck into Jiangzhou.

Last time, his brother Zhu Qingxiang had infiltrated Jiangzhou and first targeted the father-in-law, then approached Gu Zhihao, starting from the weakest person to find a breakthrough.

They were brothers who grew up together and received the same education, so their methods were easy to approach.

But she was only suspicious and couldn't tell her mother-in-law yet.

Although her mother-in-law wasn't as soft-hearted or easily deceived as her father-in-law, she was still timid and weak; she shouldn't be frightened before anything even happened.

After consulting with her husband, Shi Youxuan came up with this idea to have Nianyin protect her personally.

Nianyin had no problem protecting people.

But when she couldn't sense any danger, she would yawn incessantly and almost fall asleep while walking.

Wang Yinghao: "If you don't like the market, you don't have to come."

Nianyin: "I like it! I'm following you to learn how to buy groceries, cook, take care of the house, and be a virtuous wife and mother."

This sounded very pleasant, and Wang Yinghao believed it was true, so she really taught her bit by bit.

What time to go to the market to buy the freshest vegetables.

What kind of bones to buy for making soup.

How to avoid being swindled by vendors...

She taught very earnestly.

But the woman who had vowed to learn—it went in one ear and out the other; she didn't take in a single word.

It was too boring; she didn't like any of the things Wang Yinghao liked.

After only two days, Wang Yinghao saw through it.

She didn't like the market at all; wanting to be a "virtuous wife and mother" was just an excuse.

"Nianyin, you don't have to accompany me all day. You have your own life, children, and company. You don't need to come with me tomorrow."

Nianyin was very sleepy now, her brain not yet clear, so she blurted out: "No, I must come for your safety."

"For my safety?"

She suddenly realized; no wonder there had been so many more bodyguards at home these past two days.

The inspections in the residential complex were much stricter, and there were more bodyguards around the children when they went to school...

Was there danger at home?

"What's wrong with the house lately? I kept feeling like someone was following me a while ago. It wasn't because I provoked something unclean, but because there are bad people, right?"

She had guessed the truth.

Nianyin could only tell the truth: "Yes, we suspect the person following you is Zhu Qingrui. That person is very dangerous and cunning."

"How dangerous is he?"

Nianyin spoke the truth: "Zhu Qingrui is Zhu Yiwen's second son. He is very young, not even eighteen yet."

"But the information we have shows that this person is even more cunning and sinister than his brother."

"Although he is young, he cannot be underestimated. Back in L Country, the Vice President sent almost all the elite troops in the country to find this person, but there wasn't even a single piece of news."

"The Zhu brothers grew up together and relied on each other; the brothers are very close. Zhu Qingxiang is locked up in the Jiangzhou Prison, so he won't fail to come and save him!"

Wang Yinghao was nervous: "Alright, let's not chat here. It's not safe outside; let's go back quickly."

The original reason for not telling her mother-in-law was the fear that the elderly at home would be nervous.

That is why Shi Youxuan thought of a way to invite Nianyin to their home under the pretext of "fortune-telling" to protect her family.

As it turned out, Nianyin let something slip and revealed the whole truth.

Wang Yinghao and Sheng Jiang were so frightened that they dared not even step out the door; they didn't even want their grandson to go to school or their son to go to work.

Before even seeing the opponent, their family life had already been thrown into chaos.

Except for the Sheng Family.

Ji Yingjie's home in the suburbs and the Shi Family home were also protected like iron barrels.

Yuke and her husband were even more timid; upon hearing that Zhu Qingxiang's younger brother might have come, they were also scared into hiding at home, refusing to go out or have contact with any strangers!

But Ji Yingjie was not so cooperative.

She was very excited and thrilled.

She was rubbing her hands and eager to give it a try.

Everyone else was afraid of Zhu Qingrui coming, but she was the only one hoping for it!

Whatever schemes or plots there were, why not just bring out all the tricks?

She would just counter every move as it came.

The Ji Family's security was the strictest, and Lao Qi even set aside his prejudices to personally go and protect them.

However, three days passed, and there was no movement at all.

Ji Yingjie drove Lao Qi away: "You go back, and take your people with you."

"With so many of you guarding this place, that brat wouldn't dare show his face at all."

Lao Qi said: "Do you think I want to stay here? I am here to protect Uncle Shi and his children; what does it have to do with you?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! I can protect my own man and my own children; I don't need you."

Ji Yingjie was furious and, without further ado, drove Lao Qi and the bodyguards away.

Only after he was driven out did he realize the seriousness of the situation.

Oh no, he had only sought a moment of satisfaction with his words, but had delayed the real business.

If Zhu Qingrui were to come, this place would be very dangerous.

In the end, Lao Qi and Nianyin swapped places; Lao Qi returned to the Sheng Family, and Nianyin took her people to the Ji Family, which finally settled the matter.

Everyone was on edge, guarding strictly, all believing that Zhu Qingrui had come.

A week passed.

Sheng Hanyu's people sent back news that the recent illegal immigrants had already been screened several times, and there was no one who matched Zhu Qingrui.

In other words, it had been a false alarm for everyone, and they had suspected the wrong person.
