Chapter 1781: Chapter 1781: Return Fully Loaded 2

Aunt Liao listened, and couldn’t help but shiver, saying repeatedly, "Absolutely, absolutely, you have thought this through very carefully. There have always been people watching over the young lady and young master, but recently the weather has been cold and snowy, and because no one has contacted the young lady and young master for seven or eight years, they have become slack. The surveillance is not as frequent as it used to be."

At this, Aunt Liao gritted her teeth and said, "I know, there are those who fear the young lady and young master rising up again, eager for them to contact strangers so they can frame them, arrest them, and publicly humiliate them, making them suffer. So they watch secretly. I, an old woman, am not afraid of death, my background is good. Even though I nursed the eldest young master, my background remains good. Back then, I made a huge fuss; I was ready to hang myself at their office doors, saying they forced me. Only then did they not come to bother me, mainly because I’m an old woman, incapable, without money or power, unable to help the young lady and young master."

Feng Qingxue was intrigued and asked who could be so cruel and ruthless. She understood from Aunt Liao’s words that someone was kicking them while they were down, deliberately targeting Deng Hongling and Deng Wu, rather than trouble arising from their background or Deng Nan.

Aunt Liao snorted, "Who else could it be? It’s Zhang Rong and her niece Zhang Min. These aunt and niece are like a wolf and a jackal, cunning indeed! Zhang Rong married the son of the old master’s mortal enemy when the other party came to power. Her niece took a fancy to the young lady’s fiancé and eventually married that scoundrel. It was her doing that the young lady was disfigured and crippled."

After hearing this, Feng Qingxue quickly pieced things together.

The situation was a bit complex. In short, the son of a family at odds with the Deng family rose to power. Zhang Rong colluded with him, betraying Deng Nan. Her niece, Zhang Min, coveted Deng Hongling’s fiancé, and together they pushed the Deng family into the abyss, further disfiguring Deng Hongling’s face and crippling her legs. Yet she wasn’t satisfied, secretly watching to see if she colluded with anyone to further accuse and torment her.

Actually, when Feng Qingxue first met Deng Hongling, she found it strange why someone wasn’t satisfied with just abusing and mistreating Deng Hongling, and insisted on ruining her face. It felt to her like something only a woman harboring personal resentment would do.

Aunt Liao’s words finally solved Feng Qingxue’s mystery.

Lu Jiang heard this and said solemnly, "Aunt Liao, don’t worry, justice will eventually prevail, and Deng Nan will receive his long-overdue fairness. Those who do evil will also be rightly punished. What we need to do now is wait."

Aunt Liao sighed, "Waiting and waiting, it’s been seven or eight years and still no sign of justice for good and retribution for evil. I don’t know when that day will finally come as you say. Now I’ve grown weary of waiting, but I don’t dare to die. I’m afraid that if I die, the young lady and young master will truly be left without a single relative. Now, finally, there’s news of the eldest young master. I can finally be at ease. I’ll make sure the items you prepared for the young lady and young master are delivered separately to them."

Glancing at the semi-new cotton clothes and bedding in the package, a smile appeared on Aunt Liao’s face, "You’ve prepared very thoughtfully. The old items are just right; new ones would draw attention and cause trouble for the young lady and young master."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue thought the same, "Thank you for your trouble, Aunt."

Aunt Liao waved her hand, "I’m more than happy to see you treat the young lady and young master well. How could it be any trouble?"
