Brought specifically for godmother. Just in ti to hang Little Star’s IV drip too.
Liang Qian slept in bed all day today, bored, just waiting for them to co.
Having heard sothing happened at ho, she wanted to go back and take a look, but i Shuqing wouldn’t let her, saying that even if she went back, she couldn’t help much.
Seeing Han Yi and Lin Wan coming, she pulled them aside and shared her doubts with Lin Wan.
Han Yi and Lin Wan pretended to be surprised, as if they just found out the house had been robbed.
"Old Mrs. i heard from Xiao Chi today that the house was robbed. She didn’t pretend anymore and directly asked the doctor to discharge her, went ho."
After staying with the Tao Family, Old Mrs. i already regretted it, wanting to be discharged for a while, and now was the ti, so i Langchi took her back ho directly.
"What was stolen? Was it valuable?" Lin Wan feigned curiosity.
"I heard from the eldest brother that it was all antiques the old man hid. Not sure what exactly, but according to the eldest brother, there should be a lot. Xiao Wan, listen, the whole eldest brother’s family knows about the valuables the old man hid, and for all these years, neither I nor your godfather knew a bit about it. The old man hid them really well, even your godfather didn’t know. Your godfather told not to interfere, so I won’t. It’s good they are gone, thinking about it makes mad. The old man hid so many things, but only the eldest brother knew, not us, the second family. This is clearly a sign that he wanted to hide it from us and eventually leave everything to the eldest family after they were both gone."
"Why be angry about this, godmother? Now that grandpa wants to hide, he can’t anymore. So, what exactly did grandpa hide, that only my father-in-law’s family knows about? Didn’t ntion it to anyone else? Who would be so coincidental to choose a ti when no one was at ho to break into the i House?" Lin Wan asked, puzzled.
"Your godfather says it was an inside job, definitely soone from the compound. The police are already investigating. Xiao Wan, I’m telling you, but don’t spread it around."
Liang Qian pulled her close secretively, and Lin Wan nodded, then gestured to Han Yi to move a bit closer to their godmother.
"According to your godfather, even your father-in-law doesn’t know what exactly was stolen. He only knows there were so antiques the old man treasured, but he never actually saw them. The old man hid these things because they weren’t clean, couldn’t see the light of day." Liang Qian felt a bit balanced in her heart, thinking that the old man kept things hidden even from his two sons. "Your grandpa still won’t say what’s really in the cabinet. He wants them back, yet won’t reveal what they are, so how can the police solve the case? Hai Chang had to go and stir trouble with your grandpa, deliberately reported it to the police; now your father-in-law and godfather are on edge, wanting to find the thief but not daring to directly catch him. What a ss this is."
Lin Wan and Han Yi exchanged a look without a word. They had thought about these issues the night before, including the things in those flower pots upstairs.
After the theft, the old man must have been vigilant. Those potted plants upstairs were probably no longer safe to place there.
"Xiao Yi, take care of Xiao Wan and Little Star, don’t mind the i family affairs. The old man said we shouldn’t ddle unnecessarily, understand?" Liang Qian reminded Han Yi.
"Got it, Auntie. We still need to hang Star’s IV drip, we won’t return to the i house. By the way, Junzi should have arrived, right?"
"He should be here. If not today, definitely by tomorrow. Don’t worry about him. My cold is mostly better. After tomorrow’s IV drip, I’ll be discharged. If you’re bored at ho, just go to our ho in the compound. With an incident like this in the i house, if they can’t recover the items, this New Year might not be celebrated well. You can co to my place to celebrate. We’ll celebrate our own New Year, not get mixed up with them."
"Godmother, don’t worry, we’ve already started preparing for the New Year today. On New Year’s Eve, we’ll all co to your house to celebrate."
Seeing godmother finishing a bowl of fish soup, noticing the ti, the couple took Little Star straight to the infusion room.
....
If anyone was most exhausted in the i family right now, it was Ye Qing. She hadn’t shut her eyes for two days and a night. i Shuping and Xie Lingzhi went back to catch up on sleep, i Langchi took Old Mrs. i back ho at noon.
Now, she was the only one left in the hospital, wearily watching over the child. Thankfully, Xie Lingzhi, still mindful of Hua Hua, ca over around four or five.
The i family only inford Ye Qing about the theft now, pretending to be surprised in front of Xie Lingzhi.
She kept insisting on going back to have a look. Knowing Ye Qing hadn’t slept for two days, Xie Lingzhi urged her to go ho and catch up on rest, while she stayed at the hospital with the child.
Hua Hua’s head wasn’t hurting anymore, just needed to stay in the hospital for a few more days to remove the stitches before discharge.
Leaving the hospital, Ye Qing didn’t head directly back to the i house, she went straight to the place she had arranged to et Qu Liushou.
Entering the room, she eagerly asked, "Where are the items?"
"Items?" Qu Liushou, who had slept until past ten today, returned ho with a sack of rice to avoid suspicion. Not long after he got ho, the police ca looking for him.
Qu Liushou hadn’t expected the police to arrive so quickly, but he had a strategy, showing the bag of rice he claid he had taken from ho.
Saying he took it wasn’t much different from stealing, but the family hadn’t reported it, so the police wouldn’t interfere.
Qu Liushou’s actions could only be considered a familial dispute. If the family didn’t report the sack of rice incident, it remained a private matter.
The police just asked Qu Liushou a few questions and then left.
After dealing with the police, Qu Liushou wanted to et Ye Qing and ask her to retrieve the items. However, he was afraid it would be too obvious to go now, with the police watching closely. He thought it over and decided it would be better to wait at the rented place.
