Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1790: Chapter 1790: Miss Fang’s Family Was Never Dead

After speaking, Shu Yu left with Ying Xi.

Just as they reached the door, they saw Old Master Guan returning home. He was stunned for a moment upon seeing two unfamiliar young ladies at the house. It was only when they had walked far away that he came to his senses and hurriedly took a few steps back into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he saw his wife staring blankly at the door. He had no idea what she was thinking, so engrossed that she hadn’t even noticed his return.

Old Man Guan waved his hand in front of her face, “What are you looking at? Who are those two young ladies, and what are they here for?”

Old Mrs. Guan took a deep breath, suddenly looked up at him with a slightly excited expression, “No mistake, that girl must have something to do with Sister Fang.”

“What are you talking about?”

Old Mrs. Guan quickly recounted the reason for Shu Yu’s visit in detail, “You also saw her just now, didn’t you? Doesn’t that girl have some similarities with Sister Fang in her younger years?”

Old Man Guan scratched his head, “I didn’t take a close look at her just now.” After all, how could he remember what Old Mrs. Fang looked like in her youth?

He just remembered she looked quite good.

But…

Old Man Guan thought for a while, then uncertainly asked, “What did you say her last name was? Was it Lu?”

“Yes, yes.”

“I remember you mentioned that Sister Fang’s eldest brother-in-law’s surname is Lu, right?” He shouldn’t be mistaken.

Old Mrs. Guan widened her eyes in astonishment, indeed, how did she forget? Sister Fang’s brother-in-law’s last name is Lu.

This means that this Lady Lu is very likely a descendant of that older sister from the Fang Family?

Old Man Guan and the old lady exchanged glances, and in their eyes was a shared disbelief.

“So, Sister Fang’s sister’s family didn’t actually die in that flood years ago, right?”

“Yes.”

“But, but back then, Chen Bing even brought back death evidence of Fang Family’s parents.”

“A petty man like Chen Bing, for the sake of coveting Sister Fang’s money and preventing her from returning to find family support, it’s not surprising he’d do such a thing. That evidence is most likely fake, perhaps he bribed someone to fabricate it on purpose.”

After all, the flood in Dongan Province was very severe back then. Many people drowned, but their bodies couldn’t be found.

Even if they were found, their faces were so waterlogged and swollen they were unrecognizable.

Moreover, Old Man Guan had specifically paid attention to the situation in Dongan Province at the time. There was news that after the flood, several outbreaks indeed happened, and many people died, including those from the town where the Fang Family was located.

Dongan Province was plagued by one disaster after another; just counting the death toll required a huge amount of effort and manpower. The authorities were a mess, not to mention the incompetent local officials who were put in jail, and the new officials taking over weren’t without their oversights.

It was easy for Chen Bing to falsify things with a little money.

Old Mrs. Guan angrily said, “That beast, for that money, he really spared no means. Luckily, fortunately, heaven has eyes, and Sister Fang’s relatives have come. Did you see that young lady just now? The demeanor, the way she speaks, you can tell she doesn’t come from an ordinary family; even has a maidservant attending her, much better off than Chen Bing’s family. I wonder what her family does. Right, her hometown is in Dongan Province, why did she come to our Chenggu County, is she married here?”

How would Old Man Guan know? Seeing how interested his wife was, he said, “How about I go and inquire?”

“Alright, you go and check it out.”
