After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1208 - 1207: The Real Culprit Found

When Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi moved into the Ou Family, Huo Zhongcheng was also there.

The significant events of Xia Chuyi’s pregnancy and poisoning naturally reached Huo Zhongcheng.

As for the couple moving into the Ou Family, Huo Zhongcheng had no objections.

Why oppose?

He himself was merely a brute, not familiar with such matters.

With Mrs. Ou taking care of Xia Chuyi, Huo Zhongcheng was quite at ease.

Two days later, news from Ling County finally came through.

In the study, both Ou ZhenTing and Huo Shiqian were present.

"Are you talking about Zhao Chunxiao? From that foster mother back in the day?" Upon receiving the news from Ling County, Ou ZhenTing furiously slammed the table.

"Why is this woman so vicious!" Ou ZhenTing fumed, "I heard she was unkind to Chuyi when she was young, but considering Chuyi’s uncle, our family turned a blind eye and forgave her." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Who would have guessed she would escalate to such heinous acts!"

"Shiqian, tell me, what is this woman’s deal?" Ou ZhenTing asked, "What reason does she have to poison Chuyi?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sinister look, "It’s Xia Lianlian, Xia Lianlian."

"What, Lian... Xia Lianlian?" At the mention of the long-unheard name, Ou ZhenTing was instantly stunned.

"Wasn’t Xia Lianlian unwilling to return to Ling County or acknowledge the Xia Family there?" Ou ZhenTing asked, "How is she involved in this matter?"

Ou ZhenTing once had some feelings for Xia Lianlian.

However, incident after incident completely wore out those feelings he had for her.

Additionally, upon learning that Xia Lianlian was Mother Xia’s child, Ou ZhenTing’s emotions grew complex, and he resolutely decided to drive her out of the house.

Ou ZhenTing could never have imagined.

Xia Lianlian actually got entangled with Ling County.

"Xia Lianlian hasn’t been doing well in the Wang Family." At this moment, Huo Shiqian said, "Her way of entering the family was disgraceful, and she is conniving."

"Wang He’s mother does not like her."

"To gain Wang He’s mother’s favor, she did many things..."

Then, Huo Shiqian relayed the information he had gathered to Ou ZhenTing.

"So, just because Chuyi wouldn’t agree to give a quota to the Wang Family, she harbored resentment and got her mother to poison Chuyi?" After listening to Huo Shiqian, Ou ZhenTing exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes." Huo Shiqian replied coldly.

"Good, very good!" Ou ZhenTing gritted his teeth and said, "I, Ou ZhenTing, was truly blind, for twenty whole years, for such a person!"

"Shiqian, how do you plan to handle this?" Ou ZhenTing asked Huo Shiqian.

"As for this matter..." Huo Shiqian’s gaze turned slightly cold and he said, "At home here, I will have Wang He divorce her completely."

"And she herself, doesn’t she dislike Ling County?" Huo Shiqian said, "Over in Ling County, I have instructed Chang LuHui to arrest her and charge her with attempted murder by poisoning."

"However... given Xia Lianlian’s mental condition, she is not suited for prison but is quite fit to be confined to a mental hospital, until..."

"Recovery." Huo Shiqian said icily, "However, with Ling County’s limited medical capabilities, Xia Lianlian likely won’t have a good chance in this lifetime."
