Chapter 1756: Chapter 1756: Really Disgusted Him
There was nothing for Xue Bai and Yang Wenwan to worry about; the parents of both families took care of everything. Meanwhile, Yang Wenwan continued to prepare for her female teacher examination at the academy, and Xue Bai naturally continued to learn how to manage the shop from his uncle Xue Sifu at the main shop.
Xue Shi’s agent, who had been sent to observe and investigate Wu Lingxi, had reported back to Xue Shi the day before Xue Bai visited the Yang family to propose marriage.
He reported that Wu Lingxi was now doing quite well at home, where she was revered almost like a goddess. The reason was simple: Wu Lingxi was now very wealthy.
Xue Shi was naturally angry. That money was his son Bai Bai’s!
The agent also said Wu Lingxi had lied. When she was sold to the Yang family, her father was perfectly healthy and didn’t need constant medication to get better, nor was there a financial necessity that forced her parents to sell her out of desperation. The people of Wu Family Village could testify to that.
The agent had secretly inquired from the people of Wu Family Village, who said they didn’t know why, but suddenly Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu had sold Wu Lingxi, which everyone found strange.
Since the reason hadn’t been discovered yet, Xue Shi ordered the investigation to continue.
The agent also mentioned that during the nights, a shadowy figure moved from the neighboring house into Wu Lingxi’s home, entering her room through the window. That shadow had been identified as Wu Changcai, the eldest son of the neighboring family.
Moreover, during the day, when they discreetly watched Wu Lingxi, they saw her and Wu Changcai enter a small grove one after the other and then engage in indecent acts, which were extremely disgraceful.
Another time, the two were caught in the act behind a hay stack by the river.
Hearing this, Xue Shi almost vomited. Wu Lingxi was absolutely disgusting, truly sickening him. Such a woman, nearly imposing herself on his son Xue Bai, disgusted him even more and fueled his anger and desire to deal with this despicable woman.
Although deeply disgusted, Xue Shi was not foolish. Wu Lingxi had not been back long before becoming involved with Wu Changcai next door, which clearly indicated that, probably even before being sold, she might have had an affair with Wu Changcai.

In that case, the bloodstains that his son Xue Bai had seen back then were undoubtedly staged.
Xue Shi gave the order, “Check if that despicable woman was already unchaste even before she was sold.”
No matter what, everything must be thoroughly investigated so that when the time comes for retribution, even if his son Xue Bai was present, and regardless of his compassionate nature, he would not feel the slightest pity for her.
“Yes!” the agent immediately went off to investigate again.

Before they knew it, it was already the eighth of September.
Another agent who had been dispatched to continue the investigation on Wu Lingxi returned with a secret report for Xue Bai.
Xue Bai quickly asked, “How did it go? Is everything clear now?” After all, so much time had passed.
The agent shook his head, “No, we feared alerting them too early and didn’t dare to detain her family or neighbors for questioning. These days, nothing significant has been uncovered. However, my subordinates found that her brother has been frequenting the gambling house in town, sometimes coming home very late or not even returning at all. After an inquiry at the gambling house, it turns out that once her brother had been led there and won some money, he became emboldened, won a few more times, and then grew even more audacious. He has been trying to win more, but keeps losing and has already accumulated a large debt at the gambling house, yet he still gambles, desperate to win back his initial stake, with red-rimmed eyes, not listening to anyone.”
