Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 936 - 770: Han Yi Injured

Xie Lingzhi stopped, as if remembering something, and frowned, "Ye Qing, your little aunt of Xiao Chi knows you’re back. She said that a few years ago, when you were in Z City, you did business with Tingting and tricked her daughter. I’m telling you, Tingting will be back for the New Year. Don’t blame me for not warning you. If Tingting causes a scene and it becomes known throughout the compound, the Mei Family cannot afford to lose face like this."

Xie Lingzhi’s words left Ye Qing stunned. How could she forget about this? The wheel of fortune keeps turning, and here she is, caught in the same cycle.

"Mom, it was my fault. At that time, I was too anxious to see Langchi and left in a hurry. I originally planned to repay Tingting after returning to the Capital City with Langchi. Since my aunt mentioned it, I’ll directly give the money to her next time I visit."

Ye Qing kept a smile on her face, but inside she was extremely nervous. She wasn’t sure when Yang Ting found out, but that didn’t worry her. What she feared most was that Yang Ting would definitely come to her house looking for her, and she might encounter those people.

If she did, and Yang Ting found out the truth, with Yang Ting’s personality, she’d definitely spread the word. By that time, neither Mei Langchi nor the Mei Family would keep her around.

"It’s good that you are aware of this." Xie Lingzhi said and left without another word.

Ye Qing was left alone in the living room, dazed, while Aunt Wu, who was washing clothes in the yard, saw this and pretended to be invisible, slipping into her small room like a ghost.

A maid needs to have this awareness: speak less, do more, and focus on her duties. She mustn’t meddle in matters outside of her work, and besides, she wouldn’t dare to.

Sometimes, these officials’ families don’t live as comfortably as us common folk.

The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more frightened she became. Back then, she left with the money without telling Yang Ting because she feared Yang Ting would find out and then discover how Li Kaiying was tormenting her.

On second thought, Yang Ting probably didn’t know about this. If she did, she would have told the family by now. If she had told Xie Zhitao, then Xie Lingzhi would definitely know.

However, judging by Xie Lingzhi’s demeanor now, she probably doesn’t know, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Previously, I was careless and forgot about Mei Langchi and Yang Ting being cousins. As long as I am tied to Mei Langchi, I cannot cut off ties with Yang Ting. It seems I owe a few thousand dollars.

I used to think a few thousand dollars was useful, but now it’s barely worth mentioning. I can afford it.

Once Ye Qing figured this out, her mood brightened considerably.

She smiled and ran to Old Mrs. Mei’s room, knocking on the door. "Grandma, Grandma, are you home? Come out. Your granddaughter-in-law bought you a cashmere jacket. It’ll keep you warm during winter."

Inside, Old Mrs. Mei glanced at the door. She had heard Ye Qing from the start but chose not to come out.

She stayed inside, letting Ye Qing think she wasn’t home as a way to test her.

Ye Qing knocked for a long time without getting a response, so she puzzledly went to ask Aunt Wu in the living room.

"The Old Lady went out with the Old Master early in the morning," Aunt Wu said, keeping her head down.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing crossed her arms and thought for a moment, then said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, are you going to buy groceries? I’ll go with you. Grandma loves fish, so I’ll go to the market to buy one."

"Third Young Madam, I need to water the plants upstairs first."

"Watering the plants can wait; we have to go to the market early to get fresh produce. Let’s go. We can water them when we return."

Ye Qing said, grabbing the watering can from Aunt Wu’s hands and pulling her outside. "It doesn’t look good today. We might not make it back in time if we delay."

"But the Old Master gave instructions—"

"What instructions? Let’s go."

Ye Qing took Aunt Wu outside because she mainly wanted to ask her if there were any areas in the house where the Old Master and Old Lady didn’t allow her to go near while tidying up.

The most mysterious places are usually where money might be hidden.

"The Old Master and Old Lady didn’t prohibit cleaning any specific place, just to be careful in the study and not to move things. I go in every two or three days just to dust the table and floor. Third Young Madam, be mindful while cleaning there in the future."

"I see, thanks for the reminder, Aunt Wu. I will be more careful in the future. Oh, by the way, Grandma should be home today, right? She’s really testing me."
