Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1348: The Truth of the Matter

Mr. Du knew that even if he couldn’t bear it, he couldn’t protect Du Zhilin. Firstly, what he did back then was disgraceful, and now he dared to come back to cause trouble and even hurt him and the old lady.

Du Zhilin was his distant nephew. He studied medicine under Mr. Du for a period of time, forced by his family. Without much talent for medicine, the gap between him and other children widened.

Over time, Du Zhilin’s temperament became increasingly strange, often clashing with others. Each time, he would argue even when he was in the wrong, giving Mr. Du constant headaches.

He thought this couldn’t go on and found an opportunity to subtly mention it to Du Zhilin’s father, hoping they would advise him more.

The result was that Du Zhilin’s father, in a fit of anger, beat Du Zhilin, making him hate everyone. The next day, he found a chance to destroy Mr. Du’s ancestral manuscripts.

He even went to the room where Ma Chengxi and others lived, stole the jade pendant left to Ma Chengxi by his mother, as well as a new set of clothes from Wang Manchun, and then exchanged them for money.

After such an incident, Mr. Du naturally reported it to the authorities. Du Zhilin tried to act as if nothing happened, but being just a child, he eventually showed flaws.

When Du Zhilin’s family found out, they made a big scene, almost hanging themselves at Mr. Du’s doorstep, pleading that the child was young and to be forgiven.

They even offered compensation, bringing in clan members. Under the clan’s pressure, after compensation, Du Zhilin was let go and taken away by his family.

Later, it was heard that his family sent him out of the Capital.

After that, there was no more attention on him.

Who would have thought that after all these years, he would come to the door, asking to borrow fifty thousand yuan.

Mr. Du naturally disagreed, and after a quarrel, Du Zhilin blamed his misfortunes on Mr. Du and his apprentices: "If it weren’t for your favoritism, I wouldn’t have lost confidence. If they had not insisted on reporting to the authorities, I wouldn’t have been resented by my family and sent out of the Capital. It’s all your fault.

Now when asking to borrow a bit of money, you shirk and delay."

His eyes grew increasingly manic as he spoke, then he took down the door bar and charged at Mr. Du.

Mrs. Du wanted to call for help, but Du Zhilin said, "If you want him dead, go call them."

Fearing he would impulsively hurt someone, Mrs. Du compromised.

Du Zhilin threatened to hurt people if he didn’t get the money, so Mrs. Du went to the inner room to get it. Unexpectedly, Du Zhilin suddenly went mad, knocking out Mr. Du with the door bar.

Mr. Du said at this point, "I don’t know what happened after that, I’m afraid we can only wait until my old lady wakes up."

Qin Peiyi nodded, and asked some more about Du Zhilin’s family situation.

With the situation clear, Qin Peiyi glanced at the still unconscious Mrs. Du: "Since the situation is clear, we should first go arrest him, and when Mrs. Du wakes up, notify us, and I’ll have someone come over to take a statement."

Mr. Du thanked him, and told a few apprentices in the room, "Help me see them out."

Ma Chengxi and He Jinxuan escorted them to the door together.

Xinyan, with sharp eyes, noticed the wife’s finger moving, and quickly approached: "Madam."

Thinking of that Du Zhilin enraged Xinyan.

Previously, seeing that the wife was not in life-threatening danger and fearing others would notice something was amiss, they didn’t use the Space Stream Water.

Now understanding the situation’s background, naturally, there was a desire to quickly bring that person to justice.

She thought of giving the wife some Space Stream Water, hoping to call Qin Peiyi and the others back before they left so that the statement could be taken promptly, ensuring Du Zhilin could be sentenced and punished quickly.

She personally poured half a cup of hot water, secretly added the Space Stream Water, lifted the wife, and said, "Madam, please open your mouth."

Mrs. Du, now conscious, cooperated and slowly swallowed the water Xinyan fed her.

While feeding water, Xinyan called out to Wang Manchun: "Second Senior Brother, quickly call them back, tell them Madam is awake."
