Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 929: Chapter 929: It’s Laughable Just to Say It Out Loud

Xinyan somewhat sheepishly touched her nose, "Wasn’t it because I was busy the whole holiday? You know how it is. Once I have time, I will definitely go visit Grandpa. Help me explain to him, okay?"

She had indeed promised Jiang Peiqin she would visit Mr. Zeng.

Of course, she also understood why Mr. Zeng and his son wanted to invite her, but she truly was too busy this holiday.

With the start of the semester, she still had exams to take in the medical department, so she definitely couldn’t find the time and would have to wait until after National Day to go.

Previously, she had inadvertently reminded Jiang Peiqin.

Jiang Peiqin then directly shared her suspicions with her grandfather. The old man doted on this granddaughter the most and couldn’t tolerate deceit, so he arranged for an investigation.

Unexpectedly, they really did find some things. It’s surprising that even a nanny dared to play tricks under their noses.

Jiang Peiqin leaned towards Xinyan, "That nanny was dismissed by my grandpa, nearly causing me to misunderstand my aunt."

Xinyan suddenly realized, "That time I called over, was it the nanny who answered?"

Jiang Peiqin nodded, "Exactly, but she didn’t say a word to me."

Then Jiang Peiqin whispered to Xinyan, "The previous nanny had been with the family for many years and always got along well, but unfortunately the daughter-in-law in the family had a troublesome pregnancy and had to resign and return to the countryside to take care of her.

Since she left quite abruptly, they couldn’t find a replacement in time. Somehow, the Su Family next door found out, and their second daughter-in-law came over saying she knew someone to introduce.

The two families were always on good terms, and they said that person cooked well and was known to them, so my aunt, after meeting that person and finding them quick at their chores, kept them on.

But unexpectedly, the Su Family’s second daughter-in-law had ulterior motives."

After saying this, she looked furious.

Xinyan looked at her with amusement; Jiang Peiqin rarely showed this expression and played along, "What’s exactly going on?"

Jiang Peiqin said through gritted teeth, "Their youngest daughter has taken a fancy to my eldest cousin."

Ah, Xinyan immediately understood; they had sent a spy over.

Just listen to Jiang Peiqin, "My eldest cousin already has a partner, which the Su Family is aware of, but unexpectedly Su Yue’er still approached him boldly, claiming my cousin and his partner wouldn’t make it, and acting all magnanimous, waiting for my eldest cousin to come back to her, it’s truly unbearable to watch.

Now you understand why the Su Family’s second daughter-in-law was so eager to help introduce a nanny, right?

It’s really scary to think about; luckily she was just watching over my eldest cousin. If she were malicious, I can’t even imagine."

Xinyan naturally understood what she meant, "And what happened later?"

Jiang Peiqin heavily put down the thing in her hand, "Of course, she was fired. If it weren’t for considering the elder Su Family’s feelings, she wouldn’t have been let go so easily."

Xinyan asked puzzledly, "What grudge does she have against you? When I called about my engagement, did she purposely not say anything or just forget because she was busy?"

Jiang Peiqin got even angrier hearing the question, "Speaking of it, it’s laughable."

After a slight ’hmph,’ she continued, "The Su Family’s second daughter-in-law thought that if her youngest daughter married my eldest cousin, then later she would be the Family Head mistress of the Zeng Family, as my eldest cousin is the eldest son, the major portion of the family wealth would naturally go to him, which indirectly means it’s hers.

Not only does she think so, but even her mother shares the same thought. That’s how the nanny got brainwashed by them, thinking I’m just freeloading at the Zeng Family every day.

Hearing you were going to get engaged, there’s no way you couldn’t go empty-handed, so shouldn’t you prepare gifts?"

Xinyan exclaimed hearing this, my goodness, what kind of people are these?

Delusions, need treatment.

After saying all this, their things were almost sorted, Jiang Peiqin awkwardly said, "Luckily, I told the matter to my grandpa, and he immediately sent someone to investigate.

Almost letting me misunderstand my aunt, I even thought my aunt had issues with me, thankfully I didn’t act rashly.

Otherwise, I’d really have no face to face my aunt now."

Hearing this, Xinyan also felt a little guilty, she initially had similar thoughts, "It’s my fault too."

Jiang Peiqin said, "Don’t say that, if it weren’t for you, who knows what kind of trouble could have emerged, my grandpa has always wanted to thank you personally."

Xinyan quickly shook her head, "How would I know an accidental remark would unravel such a big issue?"

Jiang Peiqin pushed some bags towards Xinyan, "Regardless, luckily you reminded me, you must accept this token of thanks."

Since she said it like that, Xinyan didn’t hesitate, "Alright, I’ll take them, but let’s not bring this thing up again in the future, actually, I feel a bit embarrassed, like I meddled in others’ affairs."
