Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 985 - 796: Opinions

"This..." Qu Liushou was somewhat reluctant, saying, "How about we each take one piece? Rest assured, I’ll definitely hide it well, and I promise no one will find it."

Right now, Ye Qing still needed Qu Liushou, so she couldn’t let him have second thoughts. Hence, Ye Qing casually gave him one. The two boxes looked identical, and if she didn’t open them, she wouldn’t know what was inside.

However, she had been paying attention earlier and knew which box she held. She deliberately gave him the box with the Hidden Spring Palace Painting. The erotic painting wasn’t worth money; even if painted in ancient times, no painting or calligraphy would be that valuable. If those items couldn’t be retrieved, they would split them this way.

After Ye Qing gave Qu Liushou his share, she didn’t give him a chance to open and look; instead, she said, "Don’t forget to keep an eye on Aunt Wu’s family these days. I’ll go back and press Aunt Wu to see if I can get something out of her." Once Ye Qing finished speaking, she told Qu Liushou Aunt Wu’s address in Capital City.

"I’ve spent a night here, and I need to hurry back. Best not to come here these days, and make sure to take the quilt as well. If Aunt Wu accidentally reveals the address here, none of us can escape. In the end, if she benefits alone, can you swallow that?"

Qu Liushou definitely thought Ye Qing’s words made sense, gratefully nodding, "I’ll listen to you. I’ll clean up here now, and I promise not to leave any traces."

"Hmm," Ye Qing furrowed her brows, feeling quite annoyed, and left the yard. Holding the box in her hand, she went straight back to her and Mei Langchi’s home. She had to hide the things and couldn’t let Mei Langchi find out.

Though even if he discovered them, it didn’t matter. Mei Langchi probably hadn’t ever seen or heard about these things.

Ye Qing placed the items at the bottom of her wardrobe in the room, then changed her clothes and headed directly to the hospital.

Upon reaching the hospital, it turned out Mei Langchi was sitting beside Hua Hua. Ye Qing felt a pang in her heart and paused, saying, "Why are you here, and where’s our mom?"

Unexpectedly, Mei Langchi didn’t answer her but looked up at her and said, "Where were you last night?"

Ye Qing froze for a second and then naturally said, "I was at our home last night; I went back to change clothes."

"Is that so?"

These two words confused Ye Qing, leaving her uncertain whether Mei Langchi understood or didn’t believe her.

Ye Qing didn’t have the energy to worry about this because Hua Hua woke up on the bed.

After a while, Ye Qing realized Xie Lingzhi had left early in the morning, and in these two hours, only Mei Langchi was watching.

Ye Qing felt a slight sense of guilt, being somewhat cautious around Mei Langchi.

"Langchi, is there any news from home?"

"Not yet," Mei Langchi said this and directly stood up to leave, and Ye Qing didn’t call him back. After all, not being his biological child, he wouldn’t feel compassion towards Hua Hua. She didn’t need him to be particularly kind to Hua Hua, as long as he didn’t show hostility.

No news meant there wasn’t any; it seemed the police work wasn’t going well. She wasn’t sure if Aunt Wu was behind this; anyway, their things were stolen and then taken by someone else. According to Qu Liushou, this person was likely Aunt Wu.

That nanny was hiding deep indeed; Ye Qing had underestimated this housekeeper lady.

Ye Qing stayed steadily in the hospital for three or four days until Hua Hua was discharged from the hospital and returned to the compound.

With Spring Festival approaching, every household was preparing for the new year; the streets were filled with a strong festive vibe. Only the Mei Family remained silent. This silence wasn’t due to fewer family members, but rather an eerie atmosphere, making people feel somewhat stifled.

Old Mrs. Mei had been ill since returning home; it was a heartache, constantly thinking about the lost items. Unable to eat or sleep well, she had lost a lot of weight within a few days.

Xie Lingzhi was okay, however. She and Liang Qian had to go to the hospital every day to take care of Mr. Mei. Mr. Mei had already been moved from the ICU to a regular ward; his legs hadn’t recovered yet, and he couldn’t get out of bed. However, there were caretakers at night, guards during the day, and Mei Lang Jun, Han Yi, Mei Langchi, Xie Lingzhi, and Liang Qian only occasionally brought meals. Sometimes they weren’t needed; most of the time, the younger generation brought meals directly.

The doctor said Mr. Mei could be discharged in two or three days.

Ye Qing returned home with her child and found Aunt Wu busy preparing lunch. No one in the Mei Family seemed to have suspected her. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Mei Shuping and Mei Shuqing had been occupied with military and theft matters these days. Chen Haichang, on the other hand, was idling around; with such a large factory, he should be busy with the upcoming year-end, yet he wasn’t anxious at all, casually sitting on the couch, eyeing her continuously since she entered the Mei Family home, his gaze unnerved her.
