Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2679 - 2615: Heartless and Ungrateful

As these words were spoken, his gaze fell upon Jiang Shiheng. "Xiao Sixth, you also recall this incident, don't you? That was when you were ten. You remember Big Liu too, right?"

A sharp, needle-like pain shot through Jiang Shiheng's head.

He forced himself to endure it, shaking his head. "I have forgotten that matter, and as for this Big Liu, I can't recall him at the moment."

Old Master Jiang's eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.

Clenching his fist, he slammed it onto the table, exclaiming with bitter anguish, "We always treated Big Liu like one of our own. So when Laosi’s Family wanted to arrange for her younger brother to work in the kitchen, I remained vigilant and sent Big Liu over too, making him Deputy Steward. I thought that with someone watching the kitchen, I could rest easier. After I fell ill back then, Doctor Chen found a problem with my food, and Big Liu even came to me to bare his back for punishment!"

"It was truly baring his back for punishment—he knelt before me with a thud, saying that despite guarding day and night, he still failed to prevent the evildoer's actions. He declared it was his fault, urged me to punish him severely, and stated he had absolutely no face to continue staying in the kitchen."

Chiang Xiao let out a cold laugh at this.

No face to keep staying?

Shouldn't he have assisted in ferreting out the culprit and then guarded the kitchen even more closely?

If he was truly loyal to the Jiang Family's Main Wife, this was the very last moment he should have considered leaving.

To be in such a rush to get away, he must have harbored a guilty conscience, right?

"Is that person still in the kitchen now?"

Old Master Jiang rubbed his brow. "No. At the time, he kept saying he had no face to remain in the kitchen. Seeing how deeply he blamed himself, I transferred him away."

It was precisely due to this that when the previous death occurred in the kitchen, the only person he summoned was Steward Ah Way; he did not seek out the Deputy Steward.

"Grandpa, where did you transfer him to?"

"He himself requested to go stay on the Jiang Family's cargo ship, to cook for the crew on the vessel."

"Someone come," Jiang Shiheng immediately called out.

Soon, an attendant walked in.

"Go see if the Jiang Family cargo ship has set sail. If it hasn’t, immediately arrest Big Liu."

"Yes!"

Ho Biao hurried away.

Hearing that this Big Liu had long since departed the kitchen, Chiang Xiao finally began to feel an appetite as she surveyed the dishes on the table.

Old Master Jiang still couldn't quite believe it.

"How could it be, how could it be Big Liu?" He truly found it hard to accept.

It was his own son who had personally rescued him, knowing he had no surviving relatives, and had permitted him to stay with the Jiang Family, providing him with a home and a livelihood.

His son had been deceased for so many years, yet Big Liu had continued to live in the Jiang Family, adorned in silks and brocades. Anyone with a shred of conscience should not have acted this way!

"Little one, could it be that he was deliberately placed by Lu Shuangshuang’s people..."

Chiang Xiao shook her head. "No. I can be sure she was telling the truth."

Under the Illusionary Talisman Diagram, falsehoods cannot exist.

Therefore, she was quite certain that Fei Cui's words were genuine.

But thinking about it this way, that Big Liu truly was utterly heartless.

"And what about the other person?" Jiang Shiheng inquired in a low voice. "Didn't she say there were two traitors?"

Chiang Xiao felt like saying that within the Jiang Family, there were likely far more than just two traitors; there must be all sorts of hidden monsters and demons, including the old man from the research institute she was searching for.

But perhaps the ones who had dealings with the Lu Family were merely those two?

Or perhaps the two individuals Lu Shuangshuang was aware of were only those two?

Wasn't it said that there were matters within the Lu Family that even she was not permitted to access? What Old Master Lu knew, Lu Shuangshuang might not necessarily know.

Moreover, behind the two people who had contact with them, there potentially lay a mastermind orchestrating their actions.

Take that Big Liu, for instance—his status wasn't particularly high; it was improbable that he was the one in charge.
