121: Chapter 121 Straight Ahead 121: Chapter 121 Straight Ahead “Should we use needles?”
Dangdang looked at Tang Wanqiu, who was tied up, excitedly rubbing his hands.
If it wasn’t for his distinct baby face, he would probably have been taken over by Nanny Rong by now.
“Using needles can leave needle marks.
How about covering her with a quilt and then giving her a good beating?”
the elder sister-in-law suggested.
Tang Chuxia: …
She supported her elder sister-in-law as they left, asking her to rest early.
“Sister-in-law, the child in your belly needs a good rest!”
Tang Chuxia couldn’t bear to make a pregnant woman stay up late.
Dangdang also realized this and, together with Tang Chuxia, persuaded the lady to leave.
However, when they ca back, Tang Chuxia didn’t allow Dangdang to participate.
Instead, it was just her and Tang Jianbing in the kitchen, watching Tang Wanqiu who was still unconscious.
“Should we wake her?”
Tang Jianbing was sowhat uncertain, but Tang Chuxia nodded.
“Wake her up!”
Rather than using needles or beating her, Tang Chuxia believed they should use the most effective thod.
For instance—pinching the vital points.
She thought this was the most effective.
However, it was Tang Jianbing who did the pinching.
A burst of severe pain woke Tang Wanqiu.
She shook her head and squinted to scan her surroundings, finally settling her gaze on Tang Chuxia.
“You actually tied up!”
Tang Wanqiu’s face was extrely unpleasant, not just because she was tied up, but also because she was cold.
Tang Chuxia pulled over a chair and sat down, resting her hands on her chin, innocently watching Tang Wanqiu.
“I certainly don’t want to be riddled with holes by you!” She was honest, “Now tell , what’s the purpose of your act today?”
Tang Wanqiu’s face beca even uglier.
After struggling a few tis and realizing she couldn’t escape, she could only yell, “I don’t know what you an, I just wanted to move back in!”
Tang Chuxia tightened her lips, her eyebrows furrowing, “Tang Wanqiu, let’s not speak in riddles.
I just think you’re not stupid enough to co up with such a weak reason at this ti unless sothing has forced you into doing sothing foolish!”
Tang Jianbing, rubbing his chin said, “The only one not ho today is the second brother.”
Tang Chuxia nodded, “Based on the timing of your appearance and the ti the second brother left, you’re stalling, right?”
Tang Wanqiu’s expression slowly returned to calm, staring blankly at her.
“You wanted to go against the second brother but didn’t want us to interfere.
The only one you guys are wary of in the Tang family is , right?”
Tang Chuxia smiled.
Tang Wanqiu’s expression finally changed.
“What are you laughing at?”
Tang Chuxia shook her head and continued to smile, “Just wondering why Tang Wanqiu would actively expose herself.
Why not continue playing the innocent white lotus?”
Tang Wanqiu felt a hint of danger.
Indeed, the fingers Tang Chuxia had on her chin gradually tightened their grip.
She could feel the friction as though her skin and bones were about to separate.
She was in severe pain, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
“I know you won’t reveal your true intentions, so how about I guess?”
Tang Chuxia released her fingers from Tang Wanqiu’s chin, tapping her fingers idly on her knee, leaning back in the chair with her legs crossed.
There was nothing ladylike about her posture; you would think she was a female bandit if you didn’t know better.
Her deanor, however, was quite natural and without any sense of discord.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, I just regret moving out!”
Tang Wanqiu stubbornly stuck to that one reason.
Tang Chuxia didn’t expose her.
“Your future mother-in-law complained about you, right?”
“Hu Mingcheng insulted you without mincing his words!”
“Things aren’t as wonderful as you thought in the cultural troupe!”
“You accidentally revealed your adopted identity, didn’t you!”
“You discovered that your birth mother doesn’t really care about you!”
“Your birth father has given up acknowledging you!”
…
“Jin Haidong is dead!”
One question after another, Tang Chuxia was relentless, and initially, Tang Wanqiu managed to remain indifferent.
But when it ca to her birth father disowning her, her emotions finally changed.
When Tang Chuxia posed the last question, Tang Wanqiu scread, “He’s not dead!!!”
Tang Jianbing, listening in, was completely confused, not understanding what Tang Chuxia was trying to do.
Tang Chuxia tsked, “My dear sister, you’re really sothing!”
She stuffed a rag into Tang Wanqiu’s mouth and dragged Tang Jianbing outside.
Driven by curiosity, Tang Jianbing imdiately asked her what she was planning to do as they left the room.
Tang Chuxia then pulled him into the study and called out to the ceiling, “Do I need to invite you down?”
Wu Haipeng jumped down, looking utterly embarrassed.
From the mont he heard about Jin Haidong, he knew he might have been exposed.
“Xiaxia dear, I really wasn’t trying to sneak around like a ghost, soone asked to!”
Wu Haipeng walked into the study and could only offer that brief explanation.
Tang Chuxia nodded, “I know!”
She didn’t press Wu Haipeng about his presence, nor did she let the incensed Tang Jianbing attack him.
Instead, she told Wu Haipeng, “I’ve got the information, you can go deliver the ssage, and please pass a word to Gu Beihuai for , just say I want one!”
Wu Haipeng was puzzled, “Want one of what?”
Tang Chuxia smiled, “Just say I want one, he’ll understand!”
Wu Haipeng, still confused, “But I don’t even know where Brother Huai is, and I need to protect you too!”
Tang Chuxia shook her head, “I’m safe here, I won’t go running around, Jin Haidong should be by the cetery, ask the Tomb Guardian and you should find an answer!”
Wu Haipeng was even more baffled.
He knew that leadership had been incredibly busy these past days, also looking for soone.
He could only leave for now, and once Wu Haipeng had completely disappeared, Tang Jianbing couldn’t help himself, “Xiaxia, how do you know Jin Haidong’s whereabouts?”
Tang Chuxia poured herself a glass of water, warming her hands while slowly sipping it.
“Secret!”
Tang Jianbing: …
Should I hit my little sister?
Still, he held back.
“Then why do you think Tang Wanqiu would definitely know whether Jin Haidong is dead or alive?”
Tang Chuxia: “Secret!”
This ti Tang Jianbing couldn’t hold back anymore, he pinched Tang Chuxia’s ear, “Are you going to tell or not?”
Although it didn’t hurt, it was embarrassing!
Tang Chuxia had no choice but to explain her reasoning.
“Do you rember what happened after the funeral?
I beat up Tang Wanqiu and hinted several tis that I knew her little secret.
Afterwards, I had our second brother have soone tail her.”
Tang Jianbing was shocked.
How was it that he knew nothing?
“Second brother went out today, officially to deal with Hu Kai and Hu Mingcheng, but actually, it was to startle the snake!”
Seeing her little brother dumbfounded, she could barely stop laughing.
“Didn’t expect Tang Wanqiu to be so impatient, coming to test directly!”
Rubbing her hands together, she finished the water in the cup, ignoring the shocked look on her brother’s face and yawned, “Shall we go check on our dad?
He’s probably kneeling washing clothes by now.”
A dark line crossed Tang Jianbing’s forehead.
“How can you drop such a bombshell and still only worry about our dad kneeling and washing clothes?”
