CHAPTER 1932: CHAPTER 1932: NO GOOD INTENTIONS (PART 4)

Don’t be fooled by Grandma Ye’s age; having survived a storm of bullets, she remains robust and walks swiftly. On the other hand, Tang Xin, who has only focused on work over the years without doing household chores or farm work, was easily pushed down, landing on her backside.

Even on a grassy field, it hurts when you fall on your butt, it’s a blow to your dignity.

With her arms folded across her chest and a cold smile on her lips, Feng Qingxue portrayed the image of a villain bullying the weak. "Uncle Ye is getting on in years, let my Old Lu do the investigation, and he’ll surely uncover all those with hidden motives! Although it was done freely, I worked hard to raise that unruly boy into a graceful young man, and now someone dares to pick the fruits of my labor — it’s as though they’ve eaten bear’s heart and leopard’s guts!"

Lu Erxiong laughed heartily, disrupting the atmosphere, "Ye bro, you’re the fruit, a big peach!"

Ye Yan argued firmly, "Mom is using a metaphor, don’t you understand?"

Hearing Ye Yan call Feng Qingxue mom, a flash of surprise crossed Grandma Ye’s eyes, but she quickly comprehended and felt delighted. The Lu Family had cared for Ye Yan as if raising their own son. When Old Ye returns, they would officially acknowledge Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue as godparents to silence the gossip.

"Erxiong, you’re quick on your feet, go and call a patrolling guard. Just say that this person suddenly appeared in front of our family, spouting nonsense and causing us great distress." The guard would naturally handle it according to protocol.

Upon hearing Grandma Ye’s words, Lu Erxiong quickly ran off before the word "okay" had completely left his mouth.

Tang Xin, having gotten up from the ground, looked incredulous, "How can you do this? I am just a poor mother longing to see her son, and yet you are so heartless, refusing to let us reunite!"

Grandma Ye simply ignored her, not bothered to respond.

Besides acting pitiful and repeating the same few lines, what else could Tang Xin say?

In the high-ranking officers’ residential area, guards patrol regularly. In no more than two minutes, Lu Erxiong led back two guards, who both saluted to Grandma Ye and Feng Qingxue, "Comrades, apologies for the scare. We will take her away for investigation immediately."

"Investigate thoroughly!" Grandma Ye instructed, "She has a grudge against our family. Years ago, when Old Ye was in trouble, and my son Ye Xiangqian was suspended for investigation, Tang Xin divorced my son and left the child behind, remarrying Li Chaoying, who was stirring up a storm of revolution. That Li Chaoying, an adopted son of Elder Zhou Fengchun, nearly killed him. He has now been sentenced to death. Investigate how and why Tang Xin appeared here; I don’t believe she’s sincere — it’s like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken. Once you find out, don’t forget to inform us so we can be on guard."

Upon hearing that Tang Xin once abandoned her husband and child, and that her husband, repaying kindness with enmity, persecuted Elder General Zhou Fengchun — being a major counter-revolutionary element — the two guards took Tang Xin away without hesitation, ignoring her loud protests.

Weren’t the assassinations of high-ranking officers in the seventies and eighties often due to the assailants, being under investigation for their background, dragging others down with them?

It was the first time Feng Qingxue learned that Tang Xin’s husband was the adopted son of Zhou Fengchun, and she asked Grandma Ye in surprise.

"When I initially had him investigated, all I knew was that he persecuted the loyal, including Uncle Zhou. I didn’t know he was Uncle Zhou’s adopted son."

With Ye Yan pushing the bicycle, Grandma Ye pulled Feng Qingxue in the direction of home, sighing, "Not many know about this; it’s understandable that the people you found didn’t discover it. Old Zhou was so heartbroken he surely wouldn’t want to talk about the past."
