Chang Qing was about to say something, but seeing that Old Chi’s daughter was still here, she couldn’t help but say to Wei Xiao, “Old Wei, Yan Yan is still here. What nonsense are you saying?”
Chi Shuyan really wanted to know about the Shen family and that woman, Shen Rongyin. After all, she had just arrived in the military district. The people here would know about the Shen family and Shen Rongyin to some extent. She said, “Aunt Chang, I’m already an adult. I also know that Aunt Shen likes my dad! The Shen family invited us over today to ask my opinion on matchmaking the two of them!”
Chi Lingyan didn’t expect his own daughter to drop a rock on his foot. He looked embarrassed and hurriedly coughed a few times. Nevertheless, the Wei family weren’t strangers, and Chi Lingyan heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to speak, when he heard his daughter say, “By the way, that Aunt Shen acted especially good toward me. She even told me to look for her often in the future, and she’ll teach me how to take care of my skin!” After a pause, Chi Shuyan deliberately said to the Wei couple, “Uncle Wei, Aunt Chang, that Aunt Shen is really young. I thought she was the same age as me at first! She takes care of herself too well!”
After Chi Shuyan finished speaking, the Wei family was silent, and even Chi Lingyan was stumped.
At that moment, Wei Xiao and Chang Qing couldn’t care less that Yan Yan was in front of them, especially Chang Qing, who immediately said to Chi Lingyan, “Old Chi, stop while you’re ahead. See what happened with that woman’s previous marriages? Old Ren’s family was so harmonious back then, and he had a good son and daughter. Old Ren also had a good wife, but he suddenly took a fancy to that woman, Shen Rongyin. He wanted to divorce Jian Qiu, but what happened in the end? He suddenly died early, the son left, and the daughter also died early. Back then, Old Ren’s daughter had clearly been with that Shen woman, so why was she fine while something happened to that child?”
What had baffled Chang Qing even more after that incident was that not only did Old Ren not blame that woman, his neighbors also said that Shen Rongyin was a good stepmother. Chang Qing couldn’t see what was so good about that woman. She harbored even more suspicions that it was Shen Rongyin who had deliberately seduced Old Ren, a married man, back then.
After the matter of Old Ren and Shen Rongyin was exposed, Shen Rongyin had always said that she didn’t know that Old Ren was already married and had a wife. She even said righteously that she wanted to break up with Old Ren, but in the end, didn’t she get Old Ren to divorce Jian Qiu and marry her like she wanted?
Chang Qing didn’t want Old Chi to follow Old Ren’s path and end up like that. She also had the vague sense that Shen Rongyin wasn’t as harmless, gentle, and easygoing as she appeared!
Chi Lingyan hadn’t paid much attention to the Shen family before. Listening to this now, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Sister-in-law, isn’t Old Ren’s daughter still missing and has yet to be found?”
At that moment, Wei Xiao added, “This is what I was about to tell you!”
Wei Xiao deliberated for a moment, then said with a rare solemn expression, “When we were searching for the child’s whereabouts, I was the leader of the team. In fact, we did find the child’s body. By the time I found her, she had already turned into a shriveled corpse. I carefully examined her body and didn’t find any wounds, yet she had been sucked dry of blood. It was too strange. Later, the Shen family covered this matter up and announced to the public that the child had disappeared without a trace.. Commissar Shen is indeed a good person, but in the end, Shen Rongyin is his daughter. Who else would he protect if not Shen Rongyin?”
