My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

"Ah Yan, you must find your sister, you must find her!" Qiao Xiaqing pleaded, trembling.

"Mom, I will. I will definitely find my sister."

Her son's solemn promise calmed Qiao Xia down a bit, and she forced herself to calm down.

"Ah Yan, you just said Ruan Tinghe can help us find your sister, how do we do that?"

Shen Yan opened the notebook with a blue cover and a subtle orchid pattern on the cover.

A passage from one of the diaries also flashed through my mind.

"Mom, Song Lai described what the buyer looked like in her notebook."

"You mean... have Ruan Tinghe draw a portrait of the buyer for us?"

Shen Yan nodded: "That's right. She can draw what Niannian will look like when she grows up. Maybe she can also draw a portrait of the buyer based on the written description."

Qiao Xiaqing immediately became excited: "Then what are we waiting for? Go and ask her for help! No matter how much it costs, no matter what she asks for, we'll agree!"

Shen Yan remained motionless. "Mom, I'll say it again: if you want her help, you have to get rid of Ruan Jiaojiao."

Qiao Xiaqing didn't quite understand at first: "Why?"

"Because Ruan Jiaojiao has harmed people time and time again, and instigated her own child to beat other people's children."

"Write a false complaint letter to cause trouble for others."

"Drugging and scheming to damage someone's reputation."

"Mom, if you were Ruan Tinghe, would you help those who cover up the murderer?"

"I..." Qiao Xiaqing wanted to say that she had not covered up anything and that Ruan Jiaojiao was not a murderer, but what Ruan Jiaojiao did was no different from murder.

In the end, it harmed people!

"I'm sorry, Mom was wrong. Mom only thought about how she saved my life."

Qiao Xiaqing has truly realized her mistake. Now that she is thinking from Ruan Tinghe's perspective, she will find that Ruan Jiaojiao's behavior was indeed excessive.

"Then let's stop protecting her and let her leave with Shen Yaozu."

Qiao Xiaqing lowered her eyes. "But Yaozu..."

"Mom!" Shen Yan's tone hardened. "You really don't believe your son? I've said it so many times, he's really not my son!"

"It's no use me believing you. Four years have passed; who can prove it now?"

Qiao Xiaqing was also in a dilemma. On one side was her savior, and on the other was her own son. If she trusted her son, she would be letting down Ruan Jiaojiao who saved her life. If she trusted Ruan Jiaojiao, she was afraid that her son would be disappointed.

"Besides, if I believe you, do you think others will? Four years! Not four days. Don't be fooled by the fact that many people in the family compound seem to be just watching the show; they're probably secretly plotting against you."

"And your teammates in the army, your father, your brother, their comrades-in-arms, all know that Ruan Jiaojiao is your wife and Shen Yaozu is your son."

"Do you think you can just explain it away by saying they're not your wife or your son?"

Qiao Xiaqing was completely overwhelmed. What kind of mess was this?!

"I will prove it," Shen Yan said, half-jokingly. "I have a way to prove that Shen Yaozu is not my biological son."

Qiao Xiaqing asked curiously, "What method? Let me tell you, our family doesn't believe in those superstitious things."

Shen Yan certainly didn't believe in ghosts or gods, but he didn't intend to tell Qiao Xiaqing about his plan, lest Ruan Jiaojiao find out in advance.

"Anyway, I have a way—not a supernatural way, but a way that everyone can believe in!"

"Is there really such a method?"

Shen Yan: "Of course."

Qiao Xiaqing fell silent, lost in thought. After a long while, she suddenly said, "Even if Yaozu isn't your son, there must have been some misunderstanding. I believe Jiaojiao didn't do it on purpose."

Shen Yan hardened his fist. Luckily, it was his own mother; if it were anyone else, he would have already punched them.

In just four years, what kind of bewitching potion did Ruan Jiaojiao give him?

"Son, I know what you're thinking, but if it weren't for Jiaojiao, I would have died four years ago!"

"Hmm." Shen Yan thought to himself, the matter of being saved must also be investigated!

Regardless of whether it's true or false, he has to find out for himself!

Yes, he could repay the favor, but in other ways.

It's fake. He'll let Ruan Jiaojiao know what the consequences are for deceiving his mother!

He won't even need to lift a finger; his dad and brother will tear Ruan Jiaojiao apart.

"And another thing!" Qiao Xiaqing suddenly became serious. "Son, do you like that Ruan Tinghe?"

Shen Yan said frankly, "That's right, I like her."

"No way!" Qiao Xiaqing's face darkened instantly. "It's not that Mom looks down on her and her child, it's just that you deserve better, son!"

"Mom, deep down you just think Hehe isn't good enough for me, you look down on her."

"I..." Qiao Xiaqing couldn't deny it. "Okay, I admit it, I do think she's not good enough for you, but I absolutely don't look down on her! As a mother, I want my son to find a good wife, what's wrong with that?"

"Then why do you insist on me being with someone like Ruan Jiaojiao, who's causing trouble?"

"Forehead……"

Qiao Xiaqing was speechless again after her son said something that left her speechless.

"Mom, put aside your prejudices. If you get to know Hehe properly, you'll like her. Don't forget, you even asked her for help."

"I'm begging her for help, but I can't just give my son to her! She has three children! You really want to be their stepfather? Even if I agreed, your dad wouldn't!"

"My dad isn't as old-fashioned as you!" Shen Yan stood up, ready to leave.

Qiao Xiaqing retorted, "How am I old-fashioned? I just don't want you to raise someone else's child, so what? You can't even take care of yourself! How can you raise someone else's child!"

Shen Yan turned to look at her helplessly: "Mom, what if the child is mine?"

In order to stop his mother from causing further trouble, Shen Yan decided to tell a white lie.

It doesn't matter whether they are biological children or not. He has already made up his mind. Since he has decided on Ruan Tinghe, then Ruan Tinghe's children are his children, and he will treat them as his own!

So, it's not wrong to say they're biological children.

Little did she know how much this shocked Qiao Xiaqing. "You...you're saying the children are yours? Then all three triplets are yours?"

"Otherwise what? Don't you think they look a lot like me?"

Qiao Xiaqing recalled carefully that she hadn't looked at the child closely on the day of the group fight, and now that she thought about it, she couldn't remember what the child looked like at all.

"Then why did she announce to the public that her husband had died?"

"That's because she's angry with me. Four years ago, I suddenly went on a secret mission, leaving her to raise three children alone and endure hardship. She's furious with me."

Shen Yan originally just wanted to make up a lie to deceive his mother, but the more he talked, the more it seemed to make sense.

Whatever, let's just assume what he said is true!

"Then...then..." Qiao Xiaqing panicked completely, "Then the woman you asked your teammate Li Bao to pick up four years ago, could it be...?"

"That's right, it's her. I've always been looking for her, but that idiot Li Bao brought the wrong person, Ruan Jiaojiao. When I realized I'd picked up the wrong person, I rushed back to find Hehe. But..."

He was just too late.

Of course, he wouldn't tell his mother any of this. He continued to make up a story: "I just got an urgent mission, and as soon as it was over, I went to find her. But she's angry with me and won't even acknowledge me now."

"Mom, please don't mention this to her, I'm afraid it will make her even angrier."

Actually, they were afraid the lie would be exposed!

"Well, I'll go see the child and her tomorrow, is that alright?"
