Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1755: Chapter 1691: Can’t Be Traced

To their surprise, Old Master Jiang could actually eat, and although he only ate four, it was still quite good.

You must know, even if the medicine is good, a weak body without food to supplement energy is always fighting the effects of the medicine on an empty stomach, and the body will become increasingly weak.

Being able to eat a little is a good thing.

”Xiao Five, the dumplings you made are still not as good as your mother’s.” After eating the dumplings, Old Master Jiang seemed even more spirited and said this to Jiang Yingqiong.

Jiang Yingqiong felt a mix of emotions when she heard this sentence.

She didn’t even know what exactly she felt inside.

Before Xiao Five was born, Old Master Jiang was never quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, not because of her low background, for Old Master Jiang did not look down on people from humble origins, but because her maternal grandparents were very vulgar, constantly spewing obscenities, and had terrible tempers.

Old Master Jiang disliked this point.

Fortunately, after her mother married into the Jiang Family, she always sought to change, constantly learning, and her cooking was very good. Although Old Master Jiang didn’t like her, he couldn’t find any faults with her.

Later, Xiao Sixth was born.

From the moment Xiao Sixth was born, he delighted Old Master Jiang greatly, and Xiao Sixth’s first smile was also upon seeing Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang boasted to everyone that this grandson’s eight characters matched his perfectly, and they would get along exceedingly well in the future.

From the age of two, Xiao Sixth was carried daily by Old Master Jiang to the study, and when Old Master Jiang bobbed his head reading, Xiao Sixth could follow along, remember perfectly, and recite without error even after reading once, much to Old Master Jiang’s delight.

Thus, he began to focus most of his energy on Xiao Sixth. Xiao Sixth indeed lived up to expectations, always performing remarkably.

Because of Xiao Sixth, Old Master Jiang, so to speak, extended his fondness and care to the daughter-in-law.

Now, with him mentioning her mother again, Jiang Yingqiong’s eyes grew warm once more.

Unexpectedly, he actually went on to talk about Xiao Sixth as well.

Old Master Jiang sighed and said, ”Back then, Xiao Sixth told me he felt that your parents’ deaths were not accidental.”

Jiang Yingqiong’s body trembled as she looked at him in shock.

”Grandfather, why have I never heard you mention this?”

Old Master Jiang replied in a low voice, ”Because a few days after he mentioned it, he disappeared. I don’t know if it was related to that.”

”Are you saying that Xiao Sixth and my parents might have been targeted by the same person...” Hearing this, Jiang Yingqiong felt a chill down her spine.

If so, then it’s highly possible that the culprit is within the Jiang Family!

Could it be a family member?

Chen Baoshen and Chen Yiping exchanged glances and immediately exited.

Old Master Jiang did not consider them outsiders when bringing this up, but they dared not regard themselves as insiders.

The Jiang Family secrets are not for casual listening.

Old Master Jiang sighed again, his gaze somewhat clouded as he looked at her, and said, ”For so many years, I’ve been investigating quietly, yet I can’t tell whether it’s because there’s no truth to it, hence nothing can be found, or because the other side has hidden so well, using such ingenious methods that I can’t find anything.”

”Because I couldn’t find anything out, I never told you. Xiao Five, I’m afraid, afraid that if Xiao Sixth indeed fell victim due to discovering something, mentioning it to you would lead you into danger as well. That’s why all these years, I haven’t allowed you to mention Xiao Sixth at home.”
