Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 959 - 781: Bizarre Misunderstanding

"No, no, I didn’t. I only followed Grandma’s instructions to deliver the bird’s nest to my sister-in-law. I was there when Third Uncle delivered it yesterday, and I haven’t left this house from yesterday to this morning. When I delivered the soup, it was already past ten when I left home. It only took me about ten minutes to get there. Even if I wanted to cause trouble, I wouldn’t have had time to mess with the medicine." Ye Qing sat there, desperately defending herself.

"Sounds reasonable. So you’re saying the saffron walked in by itself?" Lin Wan coldly looked at every member of the Mei Family and said, "If you don’t give me an explanation for this, I’ll immediately let everyone in the courtyard know that the Mei Family abuses their daughter-in-law and wants to kill the child in my belly."

"Alright, this isn’t something that can be figured out in a short time. We’ll let your father handle this, and you’ll get an explanation then."

"Grandpa, it’s easy for you to say that. With such a big issue in the family, you think a single sentence can just smooth it over. I’d like to ask, when exactly is ’then’? What if you can’t find out by then? Is this going to just end unresolved?" Han Yike didn’t want to let him slide by so easily.

"The Mei Family is pretty prominent in the Capital City, but... in these last two years, consecutive shameful incidents have occurred, and its reputation is now completely tarnished. Its status in the Capital City has been declining. If it comes out that the Old Mrs. Mei and a granddaughter-in-law are disdainful of an illegitimate child of the Mei Family, aiming to harm his wife’s unborn child, the Mei Family won’t be able to hold its head up in the Capital City anymore. Right, Mei Langchi?" Han Yi wasn’t addressing Mr. Mei this time but was directing his words at the silent Mei Langchi.

Among the people present from the Mei Family, except for the two brothers, Mei Shuqing and Mei Shuping, everyone else was well aware of the situation in their hearts.

Mr. Mei thought that Old Mrs. Mei was too impatient and deliberately drugged Lin Wan to frame Chen Haichang.

Old Mrs. Mei did it on purpose, thinking Chen Haichang had ill intentions and that he surely put some medicine in it, but who knew something would really go wrong.

She now doesn’t know if there was really medicine in it, or if Ye Qing added it on purpose.

In any case, she’s involved in this matter. If Han Yi and Lin Wan keep pressing on this, it seems like there won’t be any peace in the days ahead.

Xie Lingzhi doesn’t know for sure who did it, but she’s certain it involves both the Old Mrs. Mei and Ye Qing, and it might also concern her own son.

So she has to stand by her son. This matter cannot be investigated further.

"Dad, Mom, you are getting more and more muddle-headed as you age, doing things that hurt others and yourselves. The matter of poisoning Xiao Wan needs a clear explanation. Have you forgotten that Xiao Wan is my goddaughter? I’m laying it out here today. If I find out who did it, my military cane is not just for show." Mei Shuqing saw through the situation.

This matter definitely involves the eldest son of the two old ones’ family. As for Mei Langchi and the others, he can understand. What he suddenly doesn’t understand is why those two old ones would target the child in Xiao Wan’s belly.

"You don’t have to leave this to the eldest. I’ll investigate. I can’t believe with just a few people here; I can’t find out who did it."

Mr. Mei looked at his second son and sighed softly, "As you wish. Go ahead and investigate. I called you all here today originally for the matter concerning Hai Chang and Xiao Wan, but it seems to be a misunderstanding. So let’s just drop it."

"Drop it? I’ve been made out to be a villain for no reason; I’m even more wronged than Dou E. Don’t you think so, old man?" Chen Haichang obviously didn’t want to drop it.

"I said it was a misunderstanding. What do you suggest we do?"

"This matter was mentioned by Ye Qing, wasn’t it? Third Nephew, haven’t you noticed that your wife talks too much?"

"What do you intend to do?"

Chen Haichang suddenly turned to Lin Wan, "Do you need my help, or do you want your husband to step in?"

Lin Wan understood Chen Haichang’s intention and responded, "Thanks, Third Uncle; two slaps."

Ye Qing knew immediately what they intended to do and with a cry, she hid behind Mei Langchi, "Langchi, save me."

"Chen Haichang, Ah Qing made a mistake, but she didn’t do it on purpose. If you want to settle accounts, today she kindly delivered bird’s nest to Lin Wan but got slandered instead. We should also settle this with Lin Wan."

"She didn’t even knock, and I didn’t know she was at the door." Lin Wan sat on the side and explained.

"You did it on purpose! I knocked on the door. You didn’t pour it earlier or later, but poured it just as I came up. Who would believe it wasn’t on purpose? Besides, both of you were disheveled, and who wouldn’t be suspicious at seeing that? I was just telling the truth."
