Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 822

Chapter 822: Chapter 695: Would Your Grandpa Let Them Off?

In the study, the family sat together. Ping’an got his answer from his grandpa and contentedly followed Lin Lishan to visit the Cheng Family.

Zhou Xiaozheng noticed his daughter seemed a bit distracted and asked after everyone left, "Encountered any trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao frowned. She had just learned from her son that the military district was preparing for war again, even though she knew in her heart that this conflict was likely to fizzle out. But would her father go to the front lines?

Swords and guns are blind, who can say there won’t be an accident? Adding the things Mrs. Hu mentioned, she began to waver, should she conceal it for now?

"If it’s something that troubles you, then it must be big!" Zhou Xiaozheng concluded with certainty and comfortingly patted his daughter, "Don’t worry! With your dad here, nothing is a big deal!"

"Will they make you head off this time?"

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed wryly, shaking his head, "At my level, I would be stationed in the rear. Now everything is ready; we just lack the final touch, it’s not a big problem."

Zhou Jiao thoughtfully glanced at her father’s face, it seemed that internally they were all aware, that’s good.

"Alright, no issues with official matters, now tell your dad, what else is keeping you preoccupied? Who did you meet today when you went out?"

Since there was no hindrance with official matters, Zhou Jiao didn’t plan on hiding it any longer. Let her dad be aware so that if someone tried anything in the dark, they wouldn’t be caught off guard.

Zhou Jiao began recounting the incident at the department store where she met Mrs. Hu during the day, detailing it from start to finish, and also mentioned the favor she promised to the other party.

Zhou Xiaozheng listened expressionlessly and then pushed the fruit tray on the table toward her, lowering his eyes in silent contemplation.

Did he already know, or is he analyzing who the enemy is? Zhou Jiao couldn’t fathom her father’s mind and could only observe Zhou Xiaozheng’s face while eating.

After a while, she couldn’t stand the atmosphere any longer and stuffed a grape into Zhou Xiaozheng’s mouth, "Dad, come on, speak up. Haven’t all the families associated with the concubine been investigated?"

Zhou Xiaozheng spat out the grape skin and sneered, "I’ve got a good idea of who that old woman is referring to. It seemed a little strange before, but now it makes sense."

"Which family is it? I thought long and hard from top to bottom during the day, and I couldn’t figure out who could hide so well."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her on the head.

Zhou Jiao shrieked, "Dad, you didn’t wipe your hands!"

"Haha..." Zhou Xiaozheng lightly uttered a name, "Didn’t see that coming, did you? She’s the most likely! Managed to marry an old man with a bunch of stepchildren, went from being a minor warlord’s daughter to a high official’s spouse. How could she let outsiders be a threat? She’d surely silence them completely."

"So, it’s not about revenge; she’s worried that our family knows the inside story, which would be bad for her?"

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "The deceased is distant from her, just an ancestor. She has no reason to ruin herself; she worries about her maternal family."

The Liang Family?

A minor warlord who switched sides and advanced by relying on a high-ranking son-in-law, reported years ago yet remains untouched.

Interesting!

Zhou Jiao realized this, and as her father, Zhou Xiaozheng also subtly acknowledged it.

"Dad, do you think that old man knows his young wife has done something?"
