After Marrying the Officer Chapter 716: We Have a Lead

Xia Chuyi earnestly explained to her relatives, hoping to dispel Uncle Xia’s idea.

"Ah, you’re really going back?" Suddenly, Zhao Xiaogui looked dissatisfied and said, "Sister, aren’t you close with Director Chang? Can’t you just not go back?"

Xia Chuyi: ...

This child, why is he so clever now?

Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia exchanged a glance.

"Chuyi, tell us, what’s really going on?" Uncle Xia asked solemnly, "You don’t have to hide anything from us."

"You’re the younger generation; so things should still be decided by your elders."

Uncle Xia’s words were so serious that Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but say helplessly, "My mother, she broke her leg."

"What?" Since it was his own sister, Uncle Xia frowned imdiately upon hearing Mother Xia had broken her leg and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Xia Chuyi said, "Director Chang ntioned..."

She paused for a mont, glanced at Xia Chengzong, and then continued, "Director Chang said, my mother and my aunt had another argunt."

"During the dispute, my aunt pushed my mother... down the stairs."

In short, the conflict between the two won in Ling County had suddenly escalated.

Mother Xia broke her leg and had to be hospitalized. Xia Chuyi, as her daughter, naturally needed to go back, whether to take care of her or to handle the situation.

She had to go back.

Otherwise, the reputation of being "unfilial" would be hers permanently.

"So, I’ll go back for a while," Xia Chuyi said earnestly. "As for Uncle and Aunt, you stay here in the Capital City and enjoy a few more days."

"Let Qianqian and Yu accompany you."

"How can that be?" Upon hearing his niece’s words, Uncle Xia imdiately objected, "How can we let you go back alone? This matter..."

"I’ll go back!" Suddenly, Xia Chengzong, who had been silent, spoke up, "I’ll accompany Chuyi back."

"After all, they..."

Xia Chengzong didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

After all, "they" were both his "mother."

Xia Chuyi didn’t object to this proposal.

Indeed, if Xia Chuyi didn’t go back, she would carry the reputation of being unfilial; if Xia Chengzong didn’t go back, the reputation he would carry could be even worse.

"Let’s do that, I’ll go back with Chuyi," Xia Chengzong said, "I’m familiar with the situation in Ling County."

"I’ll make sure to handle this matter."

He would not let Chuyi worry.

He left that last sentence unsaid.

Regarding the matter in Ling County, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia insisted on going back with Xia Chuyi, but she firmly disagreed.

Xia Chengzong was neutral.

Zhao Xiaogui... was very hesitant.

"Uncle and Aunt, traveling from Province H to the Capital City is a long and distant journey, and it was Xiao Gui’s wish, so you should stay here for a few more days."

"Trust my brother and to resolve the situation in Ling County."

In the end, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia were unable to convince Xia Chuyi.

In this world, when it cos down to it, what can elders truly leave for their younger family mbers?

"Alright, then you go back to Ling County with Chengzong and take good care of yourself, and call us imdiately in Beijing if anything happens."

That’s how the matter was settled.

The next day, Xia Chuyi and Xia Chengzong boarded the train back to Ling County.

Shortly after they left, at the Ou Family’s ho in the Capital City, a subordinate ca to find Ou Jun and reported, "Deputy Leader, we have a lead!"
