Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 733 - 735: You Just Realized Now?

As soon as the two boarded the carriage, Chu Lian had a bellyful of questions to ask.

He took Wang Xiangxiang’s hand and started, "My dear, how co I wasn’t aware that Yang Ming had a sister?"

"This story is a long one, want to hear it?"

"Yes." Chu Lian nodded his head. How could he be completely unaware of his father-in-law’s family affairs?

"It starts with Yang Ming’s grandfather. When he was alive, he believed the words of a Jianghu fortune-teller who claid that for the Yang family to prosper, all granddaughters must be sent away. Yang Ming’s grandfather believed it, and thus all born granddaughters of the Yang family were sent away — nicely put as sent away, but in truth, they were sold."

"..." Chu Lian was extrely shocked after hearing this. Although human trafficking was common, such an ignorant practice was sothing he had never heard of before.

"So you see, the Yang Family is all n, with no won. Yang Qiu was the first daughter that the Yang Family managed to bring back."

"So that’s how it is. Then, do you have any leads on Yang Xia?"

Wang Xiangxiang nodded, "Yes, there are leads, but she can’t be found. I’ve been searching for several months now."

"..." Xiangxiang had been searching for months? Sothing suddenly ca to Chu Lian’s mind, so he asked, "Previously, when you and Li Fugui were whispering to each other, talking about finding or not finding, were you talking about her?"

"Yes, what else did you think?"

"..." Chu Lian felt a bit embarrassed, he hadn’t assud anything in particular; he was just angry at the ti, thinking they were close and had secrets, "I can understand the Yang Family searching for her, but why would Li Fugui want to find her?"

After Chu Lian asked this, he soon realized, "Does Li Fugui know Yang Xia?"

"You’re just realizing this now?" Wang Xiangxiang was speechless, surprised that Chu Lian was totally unaware, "Have you heard the story about Li Fugui and that Little Maid?"

Chu Lian caught on, having heard so of it during his academy days, "I heard he fell in love with a maid in his household and even rejected several marriage arrangents arranged by his family because of her."

Wang Xiangxiang nodded, jokingly said, "I was the one whose marriage proposal he rejected."

Chu Lian was truly astonished by this revelation. He had dispatched Acheng to investigate their relationship and had not expected this, "You were refused, and yet you seem to be on good terms with him, so good that I was madly jealous at the ti."

"We weren’t on good terms initially, but I was moved by his and Yang Xia’s story later on."

"Then tell their story, let be moved as well." Chu Lian looked at Wang Xiangxiang indulgently, thinking his wife was a tender-hearted, naively sincere person.

As they traveled, Wang Xiangxiang recounted the parts she knew to Chu Lian. After finishing, she suddenly rembered sothing, then said, "Husband, actually, the reason why Li Fuyou harassed this ti is entirely because I helped Li Fugui."

"..." Chu Lian was puzzled, "How so?"

Wang Xiangxiang bit her lip, revealing the threatening words Li Fuyou had said to her that day.

"A few days ago during a gathering at the Wang Mansion, Li Fuyou sneaked into the mansion, found , and threatened to cancel the promotional event at Yuelai Restaurant, saying if I didn’t, he would expose my affairs. I asked him why he was doing this to , and he said it was because I helped Li Fugui, anyone who helps Li Fugui is opposing him, and none ends well; the Little Maid was the first, I’m the second, then he asked, ’Who will be the third?’"
