Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 418 Scapegoat?

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Scapegoat?

Song Yunuan called out loud, "Aunt Liang, just come in directly."

The firmly closed door was then pounded on.

Xia Zhi ran over to open the door, but was held back by two bodyguards.

Song Yunuan said to Second Aunt Zhang, "Wasn’t it better to just stay in Xiangjiang and mind your own business? Why get involved in these matters?

Do you think you are a savior or a godsend from heaven?

Even if you were a deity, they don’t care about mortal affairs.

Aren’t you afraid that meddling too much will backfire and you’ll face retribution?"

At that moment, the door was kicked open.

The security officer saw Song Yunuan grabbing an old woman dressed in a Daoist robe without letting go.

Upon seeing her attire, Aunt Liang immediately glared, "The neighborhood has already sent out notices; how could you knowingly commit the offense? Bring out your household registration book and anything related to your food ration."

By the time Gu Huai’an received the call, Second Aunt Zhang and Shangguan Wan had already been taken to the police station.

Due to their special identities, the situation could not be dealt with swiftly.

However, Shangguan Wan had contacted Xia Bowen.

Xia Bowen had also just returned.

Then he came to know about these matters.

Xia Zhi was somewhat afraid that his father would beat him.

However, Xia Bowen actually looked at Xia Zhi with approval.

Not bad, there’s a bottom line to your character.

As they say, digging up a radish brings up the mud; this so-called psychotropic incense implicated Qu Limei, and through her, Shangguan Yunqi was drawn in.

Consequently, Qu Limei, who was enjoying flowers in Old Master Qian’s greenhouse, was taken away for investigation.

When Old Master Qian came looking for Old Mr. Gu, Old Master Gu looked at Qian Yingchen and, in a moment, he truly wanted to ask Qian Yingchen: In that canyon back then, did you truly not see your nephew trying to kill me? Did you not see your nephew killing Su Miaolan?

Did you really know nothing about the deeds your second wife and nephew conspired in?

If you knew but pretended all this time, you truly are an exceptional actor!

At this moment, Old Man Qian, in a fit of anger, said to Old Master Gu, "In what way have I wronged you? It’s been thirty years; do you not rest until you dredge up one thing after another, aiming to drag me, Old Qian, into the mud with you, right?"

Old Mr. Gu, on the contrary, calmed down.

The packing was almost done; it was time to move out in a few days.

After living here for so many years, it was genuinely hard to part with the place.

The books from the study were already packed in boxes,

and the two men were in the study.

The room was empty, almost echoing their speech.

The investigation that Gu Huai’an uncovered about Qian Cheng was still at the stage of secretly searching for evidence.

This matter was unknown to Old Mr. Chu, and Old Man Qian was equally oblivious.

It was confined to a very small circle.

Naturally, progress was slow.

Without evidence, conclusions couldn’t be drawn.

Old Master Gu spoke with a calm voice, "Old Qian, this is unlike your usual manner; why are you so agitated?

If your wife is innocent, she will be back soon.

If she has issues, what does that have to do with me?"

"How is it not related to you? Isn’t Song Yunuan very close to your grandson?

It was the two of them together who set this trap."

Old Master Gu had also only learned of it this morning; this had happened yesterday.

He didn’t expect Qu Limei to be arrested so quickly.

She made some psychotropic incense—what on earth are you trying to do as a retired official making such things?

That Song Yunuan is truly clever, turning the trap around.

But, what did Second Aunt Zhang want to find out from Song Yunuan?

Old Master Gu scoffed coldly, "Old Qian, now you are being unreasonable. Instead of coming here to assign blame, you should be going back to thoroughly investigate why your wife listened to Shangguan Yunqi and obediently made psychotropic incense for others.

Is there something that Shangguan Yunqi is holding over her?

Do you know what this leverage is?

Shangguan Yunqi is no ordinary person, after all."

Old Qian glared at Old Master Gu with a somber expression. After a few moments, his voice coldly stated, "I have underestimated you. Don’t think I don’t know what you and your grandson are plotting, just trying to bring down the Qian family to keep me company, to lessen your own sense of guilt, right?"

Old Master Gu slowly shook his head, "Your Qian family conducts business in an upright manner, and even if I had the power to reach the heavens, I couldn’t bring you down.

On the contrary, isn’t this what you deserve?

A real man should stand tall and upright in the world; when a problem arises, he should have the courage to take responsibility, not come to me to raise a fuss and assign blame.

Your second wife has only recently started producing the psychotropic incense, did you know?

Hurry back home, don’t waste your time here."

Old Master Gu didn’t want to talk to him any more than necessary.

Fuming, Old Man Qian left the Gu family residence.

At his own front door, his heart sank, and his brows slowly furrowed.

How could he not have known that Old Qu had been making psychotropic incense these past few days?

What kind of leverage did Shangguan Yunqi have over her?

He had a feeling that Old Man Gu must know something.

But that old fox wouldn’t tell him.

It was like he wanted to bring someone down with him even in death.

Old Man Qian entered the courtyard.

He bumped into Qian Feng and Wei Qingmei right in front of him.

Old Man Qian didn’t want to deal with him.

He had never liked his eldest son.

In the past, they lived together, but later he drove them out.

However, his impression of Wei Qingmei was very good.

This daughter-in-law was quite capable. In taking care of his health, she was diligent and devoted.

Wei Qingmei got straight to the point, "Dad, I heard some news and thought I should tell you."

Old Man Qian was taken aback, then he took the two to the study.

Wei Qingmei told Old Man Qian that Qian Feng’s birth mother had been taken away by someone.

According to Loo Zhiguo, those people were very likely from Dragon Aviation.

One of the young men should be Gu Huai’an.

Where she was taken, they didn’t know.

Recently, he had been hearing a lot about his first wife.

Old Man Qian hadn’t been willing to listen.

But now, he was so angry he slapped the table.

"Old Man Gu has gone too far, wanting to meddle in everything. Why does he let his grandson take that woman away? Is he trying to slander me? I’ll tell him, that’s not going to happen; no way, I need to settle this with him."

Qian Feng, who had been standing by, hadn’t said a word the whole time.

Indifferent, let them be however they wanted to be.

His face was expressionless.

Old Man Qian went to find Old Gu but returned without success; Old Mr. Gu wasn’t home, which made him feel like Old Gu was avoiding him.

Then he said to Gu Chao, "I haven’t even taken your father to task for stubbornly causing trouble for my nephew, and now he dares to meddle in my family affairs. What is he trying to do?"

Gu Chao knew the inside story and felt extremely awkward facing Old Man Qian.

Was this man truly ignorant or just pretending?

He said, "Uncle Qian, you and Qian Feng’s mother are divorced, and it doesn’t have anything to do with you; this shouldn’t be considered a family affair, right? And where did you hear this anyway, do you have any evidence? I really don’t know about it, so you should clear things up before you come to settle accounts with my father."

Old Man Qian, left with an embarrassed expression, his face an iron shade of green.

Meanwhile, Old Master Gu, with a jade bangle in his pocket, was wandering around the Wutong District.

After wandering for a while, still unable to decide, he went to a nearby restaurant.

He simply hadn’t figured out under what pretext to give his wife’s favorite jade bangle to Song Yunuan.

The old master sat in the restaurant.

His mind was full of concerns.

He unfolded a handkerchief, revealing a jade bangle, completely green in color.

Under the sunlight, it gleamed with a flowing light.

A couple sitting nearby saw it and exchanged a glance...
