The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 464 - 474: Investigating the Death of the Huang Family’s Elder

"You..." Lei Qianqian now knew what it meant to be formidable. Like a madwoman, she got up again and charged at the woman, shouting furiously, "I’m fighting you for this, give me back my son..."

Why did good days turn into this? It was impossible to stay with the Gu Family any longer, and Jing Wen could never remarry her, not even as a concubine.

And her child was about to be taken away.

This child was the one she had finally managed to save, her own flesh and blood, her future support. How could she possibly give him to someone else?

Halfway through her charge, Lei Qianqian suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, staring blankly at Gu Youyou.

That’s right. It was her. She was the one who had caused all of this. If it weren’t for her, she would still be living well in the Gu Family.

"Gu Youyou, it’s you. Why did you do this? We have no grudges, why would you ruin me?"

Lei Qianqian extended her arm, pointing at Gu Youyou.

The others also looked towards Gu Youyou, with a blank expression on Huang Xiangwen’s face.

It was Gu Youyou who had caused the family to end up like this. But if she hadn’t exposed the matter, their whole family would still be in the dark, raising someone else’s son.

Thinking this way, it seemed they should be thanking Gu Youyou instead.

Gu Youyou slightly curled her lips, glanced around at everyone, and said softly, "You’ve finally hit the nail on the head. Why did I do it, why did I want to ruin you. Do you really not know?"

Lei Qianqian’s pupils shrank, and she took a frightened step back. "What... what do you mean?"

With a thud, a group of people walked in, the leader of whom said, "If you don’t remember, I’ll help you recall it."

Everyone looked towards the sound and saw, to their astonishment, the County Magistrate.

The County Magistrate, with his secretary and a group of government officials, strode in.

The County Magistrate himself had come?

The onlookers, shocked by this development, hurriedly stepped back and were about to kneel in greeting.

The County Magistrate raised his hand and said, "I am here on a private visit to assess the people’s conditions; everyone, please stand."

From the moment the County Magistrate arrived, both the principals and the onlookers behaved themselves. The County Magistrate looked at Jin Zijin, who merely nodded slightly towards him.

Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin stood together, far away.

Jing Wen and his wife also stood as far away as possible, clutching their child, frightened lest their child be taken away.

As for the people she had brought with her, they were protecting them on all sides.

Huang Xiangwen stood to one side supporting Gu Dabao, while Lei Qianqian, pressed to the ground by two government officials, knelt in terror.

The County Magistrate said sternly, "Lei, do you know why I have arrested you?"

Lei Qianqian was shaking like a sieve with fear, yet she stubbornly replied, "I do not know."

"What a feigned ignorance," the County Magistrate waved his hand, and several doctors came in, one of whom was Doctor Sun.

The County Magistrate said, "Doctors, please tell us what the late Gu Huangshi consulted you about over a year ago before her death?"

Why bring up the late Huang Family? The crowd was horrified.

One of the doctors stepped forward, bowed, and said, "My lord, the late Gu Huangshi inquired of me about how soon a pregnant woman should begin to vomit. I replied that it starts at around thirty days at the earliest and fifty days at the latest."

The County Magistrate nodded slightly and waved him away.

He stepped back, and another came forward.

This doctor gave the same answer as the previous one; the late Huang Family had consulted several doctors about the early symptoms of pregnancy.

Why would she ask several doctors the same question? freewebnøvel.com

Lastly, Doctor Sun also spoke, saying that the late Huang Family had brought Lei Qianqian to his house and asked him to take her pulse. He confirmed that Lei Qianqian was pregnant, which should have been joyous news, but the late Huang Family showed no happiness and, with an odd expression, hurriedly took Lei Qianqian away.
