Chapter 716: Chapter 716 What Have You Done?

Lu Yichen patted Luo Qiao’s hand, "Okay."

After walking for a while, Lu Yichen finally spoke, "In Ji City, Song Wenbin was sentenced to two years. His parents were also removed from their official positions and are now ordinary employees in their units."

Luo Qiao snorted lightly, "Deserved. Both of them were born as cadres and yet raised a son like that. It shows there are issues with their own characters. It definitely wasn’t appropriate for them to stay in their original positions—being spared from firing is already their luck."

Lu Yichen said indifferently, "It was the Qiao Family who protected them."

Luo Qiao immediately realized, "That’s Qiao Aihong’s parents’ home."

Lu Yichen hummed in affirmation.

Luo Qiao said with disdain, "I used to think Qiao Yu was quite decent and expected the Qiao Family to be upright, but I didn’t expect they would still reach out to save their daughter and son-in-law."

Lu Yichen said coldly, "What good is protecting them? Since they were aware but did not report and wanted to take your career to vent their son’s anger, I will make them the rats that everyone spits on."

Luo Qiao extended her other arm to embrace Lu Yichen’s waist, resting her face against his back, "What did you do?"

Lu Yichen replied, "Since the Qiao Family wants to protect them, let them. My people have dug up some information and submitted it secretly. I’m curious if the Qiao Family can still keep them safe now. The Qiao Family will probably be implicated this time."

Luo Qiao asked with some curiosity, "Do you know Qiao Yu?"

Lu Yichen answered, "We once worked together on a mission, but we aren’t very close. Because of what Song Wenbin did, I had people investigate their network of relations."

Luo Qiao thought for a moment, "Be careful yourself. Let off steam and then let it be. Don’t let them find out it was your people."

Lu Yichen hummed, "Don’t worry, they won’t catch on to it. It won’t be long before there’s news, and they will regret what they did."

The conversation came to a close, and they reached the main entrance of the second courtyard. Now, there was an old couple living here—Elder Rong and his wife, Wei Daniang. Luo Qiao called them Elder Rong and Rong Daniang.

This elderly couple was pitiable. Both of their sons had died—one while attempting to seize public assets and the other serving as a soldier on the border. Neither of their sons had married. Though they received a pension, life in the village was not easy for them.

Lu Yichen used to visit them once every year. They were still in robust health. Because of troublesome relatives back home, he had previously asked them if they were willing to move to a different place to live.

The couple initially didn’t want to move. Even if life in their village had its frustrations, they had lived there for decades and held an emotional attachment to it.

However, during Lu Yichen’s last visit, Wei Daniang’s distant cousin came causing trouble again, insisting that the couple adopt a son. The couple had previously considered this.

They accidentally overheard a conversation and realized that their relatives were only after the compensation money. The things said behind their backs were utterly vile.

Therefore, the couple abandoned the idea of adopting and planned on asking the village leaders to hire a local villager to take care of them when they were no longer able to do so themselves.

This elderly couple was not like ordinary farm elders. In their youth, they had lived with a wealthy family and could read a few characters. Rong Daniang was especially good at cooking.

Perhaps fed up with their relatives’ nuisances, once the couple saw off the troublesome visitors, they decided to follow Lu Yichen, who then brought them to stay with Luo Qiao.

Being strong and healthy, the couple couldn’t sit idle. Thankfully, Luo Qiao’s secondary courtyard had a substantial garden where they could grow vegetables, tend to flowers, cook meals, and take strolls in their free time.

At first, the couple felt somewhat uncomfortable, but they quickly warmed up to Luo Qiao. Perhaps the change of place and the absence of annoyances made their days more joyful.

Luo Qiao had wanted Lu Yichen to help find someone for assistance, so the arrival of Elder Rong and his wife worked out perfectly. Luo Qiao intended to provide them with a salary, but the Rong couple refused, insisting that being provided with food and drink was sufficient.
