The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

When it was time for dinner, Master Qi did not come out.

Mrs. You was puzzled. "What is this old man doing in the study again? You all eat first and don't worry about him. I'll save some food for him later."

Jiang Yuyan smiled and ate her meal quietly.

Just as I was about to return to my room after finishing my meal, Jiang Muyi called out to me from behind.

The group sat in the courtyard for a while.

Jiang Muyi: "You, you had a fight with Master Qi? What did you argue about this time that made Master Qi so angry that he refuses to come out for dinner?"

Jiang Muren looked at his younger sister with concern. Although he had seen the two of them argue before, they always moved on quickly and never got so angry as they were now, refusing to come out for dinner.

Although Jiang Muxuan didn't say anything, he was worried that his younger sister and Master Qi might have really had a fight.

Jiang Yuyan looked embarrassed.

She knew that her master wasn't angry, or rather, he was very angry, but not at her; he was angry at others.

I never expected him to be so angry that he didn't even want to eat.

Looking at her three worried brothers, Jiang Yuyan knew that they should know about this sooner or later.

Actually, she was somewhat relieved that it wasn't a sensitive or serious period, otherwise, just because of her unmarried pregnancy, she would have to go back to the farm for re-education.

Looking behind me, I saw that the light in my master's room was still on, but it was a warm light, left on by my master's wife every night for him when he came home late. My master's wife usually went to sleep before my master.

I pulled my three older brothers to sit down under the shed in the courtyard and gestured for them to keep their voices down.

"...Brothers, don't get excited or angry about what I'm about to say, or I'll be too ashamed to face you."

The three Jiang brothers frowned. What their little sister meant was that what she was about to say was very important, so important that they might not be able to accept it right away.

However, they still nodded.

Jiang Yuyan was embarrassed. "...blah blah blah...blah blah...that's how it is. You said you wouldn't be angry."

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that her brothers' fists were clenched so tightly that the veins were bulging, which startled her so much that she quickly interrupted them.

Jiang Muxuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He hadn't expected that his little sister's "nightmare" hint was really about this.

However, what he cared about most was, "Little sister, who is that man? Did Jiang—Lin Yue—deliberately drug you?"

Jiang Muyi and Jiang Muren stared at her expectantly.

Jiang Yuyan honestly said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was indeed Lin Yue who brought that glass of water to Ling Wenchen."

"That man is Ling Wenchen? That soldier? You—" Jiang Muyi clenched his fists.

With a loud "thump," he slammed his fist into the tree trunk beside him, gritting his teeth.

"Lin Yue"

"How dare she do such a vicious thing to you? I should have given her a good beating the last time I saw her," Jiang Muyi said regretfully.

"Second brother, look at you! You're taking your anger out on your fists again. Are you hurt? Let me see."

Jiang Muyi snapped out of his daze and obediently extended his hand. "It's okay. I held back. I didn't hit you too hard. Your hand isn't broken."

Jiang Muxuan noticed the key point, "Little sister, so you're now—pregnant? How many months along? You're pregnant, why are you running around like this? Won't it harm your health?"

Just think, my younger sister went back to her hometown this month to deal with family matters, where there were tyrannical thugs and scoundrels.

If someone had pushed the girl when she wasn't paying attention, the consequences would have been—

Jiang Muxuan still feels terrified when he thinks back on it now.

Jiang Muyi and Jiang Muren had clearly thought of this as well, and both looked at Jiang Yuyan with disapproval.

With an embarrassed expression, she said, "Uh, I only just found out about this myself, otherwise why would I have acted so impulsively? Hehe, brothers, I'm counting on you guys for the rest of my life."

Once her belly starts to show, she can no longer go out, otherwise, if the neighbors see her, who knows what kind of nasty rumors will spread.

"Don't worry, little sister. Just stay home and relax. From now on, your third brother and I will take care of the shop and the garment factory."

"Yes, little sister, we're at ease with you at home. If there's anything I don't know how to do, I'll bring it back and ask you. Don't worry, I'm quite skilled at the tailor shop now, so I'm not afraid—"

He almost cried as he spoke, never imagining that his little sister had suffered so much, and that they were all unaware of it, yet they always relied on her.

Before returning to her room, Jiang Yuyan went to check on her master's study, but the door was tightly closed.

She thought for a moment and decided it was best not to come out and upset her master. She would come back tomorrow to check on him.

What she didn't know was that that very evening, Master Qi had a stack of information on Ling Wenchen and the Lin family that he had been tasked with investigating.

"Mr. Qi, in principle, the information of military personnel is confidential. However, since we heard about your request, it is understandable. We will temporarily provide you with the identity information of Comrade Ling Wenchen and Comrade Lin Shiping."

"Both of them are top talents in the army, as is Comrade Lin Shiping. Now, in the eyes of the Lin family, he is a 'sinner' who has already taken off his uniform, and so is Comrade Ling Wenchen...blah blah blah..."

Despite talking until his throat was dry, Master Qi didn't even raise an eyebrow, calmly finishing reading all the materials.

"So, is there something wrong with Ling Wenchen, who's 25 and still unmarried? Or does he already have someone he likes?"

Men, if they're not after power and money, they either have some serious illness; otherwise, they wouldn't be so old and still unmarried.

According to the mindset of this era, a 25-year-old man is considered old.

"Uh, Mr. Qi, you're joking. Comrade Ling Wenchen is perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally. You know the military conducts annual checkups; if there were any problems, how could we not know?"

Master Qi nodded; of course he knew.

However, he was still angry.

"That Lin family, except for Lin Shiping, is basically ruined, right? What's the point of keeping them around? Lin Yue already has a criminal record, so she should be sentenced accordingly."

What he hated most was that woman named Lin Yue. Only his naive disciple thought that this venomous woman would be friends with him.

but--

"Are you sure you haven't found anything else about this woman named Lin Yue? She's never even met my apprentice once, so why does she harbor such deep resentment towards him?"

Another point is that even if she felt that Jiang Yuyan had taken her identity, how could a woman who grew up in the countryside suddenly unleash such deep scheming as soon as she came to the city?

"We also had our doubts about this, but after several investigations, we did not find any other problems with Lin Yue."

"Um, Mr. Qi, there's one more thing, which is Lin Yue's case. Because there isn't enough evidence to prove that she instructed the people on the song committee, apart from a few individuals pointing her out, there are no suspicious points about her."

"What? Don't tell me you're going to release him without any evidence?" Qi Ming's beard stood on end in anger.
