Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 911

Chapter 911: Chapter 784: Old Matters from Years Past

Zhou Xiaozheng was very aware of his wife’s intelligence seemingly being offline frequently. As her husband, he sighed; it seemed there were some things he couldn’t hide from her anymore.

Lin Lishan heard his sigh and suddenly turned pale: "Brother Zheng?"

"Mom, don’t be nervous, take a deep breath..." Seeing her state, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly advised, "No matter how big the issue, you still have us, truly, don’t worry..."

Lin Lishan accepted the cup handed over by her son-in-law, took a sip of water, and exhaled deeply: "Is it true that the real Miao Family members have come looking for us?"

Zhang Guoqing was surprised to hear this and looked at her, amazed she connected the dots. He kept silent now, also watching Zhou Xiaozheng with his mother-in-law.

"I knew this day would come eventually, just didn’t expect it so soon. These people are from a different faction than us; have they suddenly appeared to entangle you?"

Zhou Xiaozheng asked with interest: "So what do you suggest?"

"Tomorrow just hand the box of things over to the higher-ups... No, this would give them an excuse to act." Lin Lishan frowned deeply, "I’m furious, I have absolutely nothing to do with them, why drag me into this? Am I not being wronged? I am better off than those Miao Family members..."

Zhou Xiaozheng interrupted her ramblings with a wave of his hand. If she kept going, the sky would fall. Wasn’t the huge commotion back then all about nailing down his wife’s background!

"Brother Zheng?"

"Relax, it’s nothing." Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his anxious wife, waited for her to calm down, and continued, "Before we proceed, I’ll first say something."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and shook his head: "I once mentioned this matter briefly to Xiao Wu, but even Jiao Jiao wasn’t informed, just to prevent you all from worrying."

"Brother Zheng, I’ve made it difficult for you."

Watching his mother-in-law moved to tears, Zhang Guoqing wondered if he should make himself scarce? After all, as men, he could understand his old father-in-law flaunting his achievements.

He stood up, gestured to his father-in-law and went to see if there was anyone outside. Upon stepping out, he listened carefully, the East Wing with its lights on, could still hear Aunt Sun and others, understood he was drawn by his wife.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and returned to close the door, nodding.

Zhou Xiaozheng pointed to the seat opposite, gesturing him to sit down, poured the contents of the envelope onto the coffee table: "These two coins and key should symbolize the current country of these three people. Speaking of them, one’s mother must first be mentioned."

Lin Lishan had never heard about her biological mother. In her memory, the aunt had faded with time, leaving only her repeatedly calling her a silly girl.

"One cannot deny, your mother was extremely capable. I’ve investigated why Admiral Mou was always pursuing her relentlessly. Aside from rumors of her not allowing concubines, mainly she was adept at scheming."

Zhou Xiaozheng said this, looked at his wife’s suspicious gaze, smiled. Wasn’t he also skeptical when he saw the reports back then? One could only say his wife didn’t inherit those genes.

Zhang Guoqing surely wasn’t surprised. Leaving so much inheritance back then would certainly require skills?

"Reportedly, within a year of marrying into the Miao Family, the two sons left by the first wife became very close with her, three or four concubines at home were dismissed, and the illegitimate child outside was brought back by Admiral Mou."
