Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 222: Under Her Skirt

Xu Qinghuan offered tea to the elders at home, and the old lady gave her a pair of bracelets, a large red envelope, and Shen Xiuqin also gave her a Red Jade Necklace that had been prepared long ago, along with a thick red envelope.

"Take good care of these old items, they can’t be exposed to light now, but there will be a day when they are of use. Girls should collect more jewelry. These heirlooms passed down from our ancestors can’t necessarily be bought even with money in the future."

Shen Xiuqin spoke earnestly, and these words touched Xu Qinghuan deeply, as they were not words that could be easily spoken, yet they were said to her.

Naturally, Jiang Xingye also took it to heart; besides a house, he wanted to buy jewelry for Huanhuan.

As night deepened, the wind began to stir outside.

Shen Xiuqin invited Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye to stay at home, "It’s so late, why go back to the guest house? We’re all family now, not staying at home seems inappropriate."

But Xu Qinghuan had other plans for the night, "Godmother, I’m afraid I can’t today. My clothes and toiletries are at the guest house, and I also need to prepare medicine for grandpa and grandma. There are herbs I need at the guest house, and I’ll be coming back tomorrow anyway, so it’s just one night."

Shen Xiuqin had to relent, "Then come over tomorrow. I’ll have Auntie make something tasty for you. Xingye will also come. Treat this place as your own home; don’t be shy."

The two elders got up together to send them off, watching as they walked into the distance before turning back.

The old lady was so happy she danced with joy, "Old man, our Huanhuan is marrying into the old Jiang Family, becoming my sister’s granddaughter-in-law. Shouldn’t we visit my sister’s family and discuss the engagement properly?"

Shen Xiuqin thought to herself, this is backwards, isn’t it? Our family is marrying off a daughter, not marrying a daughter-in-law, why go to the other family’s place?

"Yes, let’s go in a few days." Huo Zhenqing was delighted, then after thinking it over, shook his head, "Better not go. Do you remember why they insisted on returning home to farm?"

Of course, how could I forget?

The old lady rubbed her eyes, "Then let’s wait a couple more years. Didn’t Huanhuan say she wanted you and me to live to a hundred years? We still have twenty or thirty good years left, surely we’ll see the day when the clouds clear."

The old man also nodded, "Then let’s try and live a few more years!"

He felt at ease in his body now and had renewed courage to live longer.

Huo Zhenqing asked, "Dad, Mom, how do you feel after taking Huanhuan’s medicine?"

"Very good!" The old man spoke with vigor, "This medicine, as long as it targets the right issue, the effect is immediate. I wonder if the medicines I’ve taken before were not targeted correctly. Did I take the wrong medicine, and that’s why they almost killed me?"

The old lady also said, "I feel the same way. Why didn’t the medicine I took before have much effect, but once Huanhuan gave me hers, I felt invigorated?"

Quack doctors are harmful!

Huo Zhenqing didn’t understand this, "Since Huanhuan’s here, let her help the two of you adjust and take care of your health."

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye left the compound where the Huo Family lived; it was after eight in the evening, with intense autumn heat, and there were some people chatting under the trees, sitting on lounge chairs, drinking tea, chatting, smoking, and the streets were quite lively.

This place was not far from the general hospital and guest house; it was about a ten-minute walk, and the two of them walked to a place where there was no one. Xu Qinghuan held Jiang Xingye’s hand, "Xingye, come with me to a place in a while."

"Alright, wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you!"

Xu Qinghuan leaned in to say a place name into Jiang Xingye’s ear, and Jiang Xingye was stunned for a moment. He tightly grasped Xu Qinghuan’s hand, "I’ll go, not you. If you need something, let me get it."

"No, we’ll go together; otherwise, neither of us will go." Xu Qinghuan said.

Jiang Xingye insisted, "It’s too dangerous."

"It won’t be dangerous with me there," Xu Qinghuan said. "I must get those things; otherwise, we’re too passive."

Simply having Song Wanlin’s weakness in hand is useless. She didn’t even remember this matter at first, but today, when Jiang Zhenguo called her over to threaten her, she suddenly remembered the Jiang Family’s hold.

The book originally emphasized the male lead Jiang Chengxu’s decisiveness; he discovered the old master of the Jiang Family held a correspondence with his first love, along with her photo.

And the old master, when he was mutually enamored with this woman and even now, never knew that her real name was Zhenai Qianxia.

And it was over ten years ago when the old master unwittingly sheltered Zhenai Qianxia and inadvertently leaked military information that led to East Mountain Island being occupied, causing heavy casualties before it was reclaimed.

Xu Qinghuan’s father sacrificed himself in that battle.

She needs to get the letters exchanged between Jiang Zhenguo and Zhenai Qianxia.

Meanwhile, far away in Anguang County police station, Old Zhang saw the released Jiang Chengxu and took him to stay at his guest house.

"Jiang Chengxu, I’ve made Xu Hongtu take the blame so you could come out. I can get you out, so naturally, I can also put you back in. Do you understand this?"

Jiang Chengxu’s previously handsome hair parted seven-three was now shaved into a flat top, which didn’t quite suit his face.

Jiang Xingye also had a crew cut, but it magnified each of his facial features considerably, making his short hair neat and complementing his wild arrogance and intensity. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Whereas Jiang Chengxu appeared like a genuine labor reform convict.

He raised his head and shot Old Zhang a sidelong glance, his gaze gloomy, his voice low and filled with thick resentment, "Understood."

"Then speak, word for word, what are the things, who did it, where they are? Don’t utter a single lie; we don’t listen to falsehoods." Old Zhang extended a finger and waved it.

Jiang Chengxu smirked insidiously, "Mrs. Song should remember Su Qingli, right? If I recall, he’s Mrs. Song’s brother’s uncle. He should have once been under Mrs. Song’s skirts."

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Old Zhang was shocked by the phrase "under her skirts," but upholding the master’s dignity was indispensable.

Jiang Chengxu didn’t argue with him, "Later, Mrs. Song met Lu Ranglian. Naturally, she looked down on Su Qingli, who was just a small reporter at the newspaper. But Su Qingli never forgot Mrs. Song and stalked her. He later saw Mrs. Song’s paramour was Lu Ranglian, and naturally, he didn’t dare to challenge him, yet remained unwilling."

Old Zhang didn’t want to hear stories and sharply interrupted, "Get to the point."

"Where are those things hidden?" Jiang Chengxu finally spoke sanely in Old Zhang’s murderous gaze, "Su Qingli went to find Huo Zhenqing. If not at the Su Family, then it’s at the Huo Family."

Old Zhang threatened, "You better not utter a single word of falsehood."

Jiang Chengxu slowly shook his head, "Believe it or not, I’ve said what I know."

"How do you know?" Old Zhang asked.

Of course, Jiang Chengxu couldn’t say that in his past life, when the Lu Family fell, this incident was uncovered and became the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Lu Family. He chuckled, "I have my channels."

It’s a pity that in his previous life, he never regarded a small character like Old Zhang worthy of notice, unaware of his background, or he might have been able to manipulate him for his own use.

At around twelve in the midnight, Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye changed into black clothes, climbed through the window at the head of the corridor, and took advantage of the night to hurry outside.
