After Mrs. Feng returned home, she kept remembering Mr. Zhou's kindness in treating her injury and thinking about fulfilling Mr. Zhou's last wish. However, her leg injury recurred after the long journey home, and she could no longer walk long distances.

Mrs. Feng's son disliked her for bringing back a widow. The relationship between mother and son was very tense, and it was impossible to go to Qingyuan County for her. This matter was dragged on and became a worry for Mrs. Feng.

That day, she met Juhua's family begging for food at the door of her house. Mrs. Feng kindly gave them two more pieces of dry food. After Juhua thanked them, she talked a little more about her family's affairs.

When Mrs. Feng heard that the Juhua family had settled in Chenjiatan, Qingyuan County, she was extremely pleasantly surprised. She thought this was a perfect opportunity for God to fulfill Zhou's last wish.

Mrs. Feng gave Juhua some copper coins and asked her to go to Qingyuan County with Zhou's last words and tokens.

After listening to Wang Zhongpeng's words, Lu Youqing guessed: "The Juhua couple found out about the Zhou family from Mrs. Feng, so they came up with the idea of ​​extortion, falsely claiming that Xiaoxia was Zhou's son, and using the Chen family to attack the Zhou family.

He coerced Chen Lizheng into taking money to support his children."

Si Sheng nodded and said: "It's most likely so."

Lu Wang asked: "Then what are we going to do when we come down?"

Si Sheng said: "It is easy to expose the lies fabricated by the Juhua couple, but it is difficult to keep the things that Chen Lizheng is afraid of secret. If we intervene, we are afraid that both parties will end up complaining."

Lu Wang said: "They did so much to a member of the Zhou family back then. Do we still have to cover up for him?"

Si Sheng sighed: "On the one hand, it is the life and death of a family, and on the other hand, I am just a daughter-in-law without a man. I believe many people will make the same choice as Chen Lizheng."

Suxue murmured: "But Mrs. Zhou was already pregnant at that time, and there was still life in her belly."

Lu Youqing said: "They are fleeing. Even if they are not kidnapped by the bandits, it will be difficult to save the child on the road."

Suxue said: "Anyway, I can't understand the Chen family's choice."

Si Sheng sighed, "Although Zhou's death was related to the Chen family, he did not die at the hands of the Chen family after all."

Wang Zeran said angrily: "At that time, they knew clearly that Zhou's death was in danger, but they still made such a decision. No matter why Zhou died, Chen Lizheng's family could not escape the involvement. Chen Lizheng had done this, and he was not worthy of doing it again.

It’s straightened out.”

Lu Youqing and Si Sheng looked at each other and said, "This can work. We will talk about it later when we have the opportunity. Let's talk about the matter at hand first. How to deal with the blackmail of the Juhua couple."

After dinner that day, Si Sheng and Lu Youqing came to the door of Chen Lizheng's house. Chen Ping opened the door and saw them, and asked guiltily: "What do you want to do here?"

Chen Ping knew that Chen Lizheng was depriving Dongpo of grain seeds and exchanging them for cotton seeds. He was always worried, fearing that this group of Dongpo people who had suffered a lot would come to visit.

But it had been several days since the incident, and there was no reaction from Dongpo, and I heard that they had already started sowing seeds. Chen Ping thought that the Dongpo people might not have discovered the fact that they were cheated at all, and the matter might just go away.

.

Unexpectedly, they still came to the door.

Lu Youqing said: "Chen Ping, we have something important to do with Chen Lizheng."

After all, the Dongpo people were so prestigious that Chen Ping did not dare to block them out at will, so he had to lead them into the main room.

Chen Ping carefully observed the expressions of Si Sheng and Lu Youqing. It seemed that they were not here to ask for seeds, but he still had to be on guard.

As he walked, Chen Ping raised his voice and said, "Dad, Ye Xiucai and Brother Lu from Dongpo are here."

If these two people really come with bad intentions, I hope his father can make some arrangements in advance.

In the main room of Chen Lizheng's house, Si Sheng and Lu Youqing had already drank half a cup of tea. Chen Lizheng hurriedly came in from the outside and asked as soon as he entered the house: "Ye Xiucai, Youqing, what do you want from me?"

"

Si Sheng looked at Chen Ping who was sitting with him and said, "Chen Lizheng, we want to talk to you alone."

Chen Lizheng looked at Si Sheng suspiciously, "This is my home, why do you need to cover up anything?"

Did you cover it up?"

Lu Youqing said: "We don't want to hide it, but... we heard Mrs. Feng say something. Is this what Chen Lizheng wants to hear from us?"

Hearing the words "Mother Feng", Chen Lizheng's expression changed. He stared at Si Sheng and Lu Youqing and asked, "Which Mother Feng are you talking about? What did she say to you?"

Lu Youqing said firmly: "The Mrs. Feng we are talking about must be the one you know. She told us everything, including what you know and what you don't know. That's why we came to Chen Lizheng to talk about it."

Judging from the expressions of these two people, they must have really known something. Chen Lizheng calmly took a sip of tea, but the hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly.

Putting down the tea cup, Chen Lizheng said to Chen Ping gently: "Go out and guard outside. Don't let anyone in."

Chen Ping glanced at Si Sheng and Lu Youqing. They looked calm. They probably weren't here because of the seeds. Then he walked out of the main room with confidence and carefully closed the door.

Si Sheng got straight to the point: "Chen Lizheng, Xiao Xia is the biological child of Ju Hua and Fan Wei, and has nothing to do with Chen Xing and Zhou."

Chen Lizheng originally thought that they were going to take advantage of the fact that the Chen family had given up on the Zhou family, but he didn't expect that they would burst out like this and hit him hard on the head.

Chen Lizheng jumped up from his chair, "What are you talking about? How could Xiaoxia be Juhua's biological child? Where did you get the news?"

Lu Youqing said: "Our people went out to do errands. When they passed Heigoupo in Lan County, they met a woman named Feng and listened to what she said."

Chen Lizheng stared at him in surprise and asked, "Mr. Feng is from Heigoupo, Lan County?"

At first, Juhua only said that her family met Mrs. Feng in Lan County and refused to reveal the village or town where she was.

Afterwards, Chen Lizheng made a special trip to Lan County, but because he didn't have a specific address, he couldn't find Mrs. Feng who knew about it.

Lu Youqing asked in disbelief: "You don't even know where Mrs. Feng is from, so why did you believe Juhua's words?"

Chen Lizheng had confirmed that Lu Youqing and Si Sheng were insiders, and they might really know more than him, so he said frankly: "She has a child's clothes in her hand. It was from Zhou's mother-in-law's family to congratulate her before they fled.

It was one of the gifts specially sent to me when I was pregnant. On the way to escape, Zhou even showed it to everyone. I was very impressed by that dress."

Chen Lizheng sighed deeply, "And those past events Juhua told, all the details are consistent with the facts we experienced. If it hadn't come from Zhou's mouth, no one else could have said it in such detail. Otherwise,
