After Marrying the Officer

Hearing Jiang Shuqin's words, Xia Chu couldn't help but be amused and said, "Shuqin, do you care about the Ou Family finding their child, or do you care about Ou Cong?"

Upon these words, Jiang Shuqin's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly retorted, "Pah, who cares about him?"

After saying that, she felt that she had overreacted a bit and quickly smoothed her hair, saying, "No, I just think that the Ou Family has already spent so much time on this."

"If they can really find the person this time, it would truly be something to be happy about."

After pausing, Jiang Shuqin shared the information she knew with Xia Chu.

"I heard that the person they found was one of the children sold by those human traffickers back in the day."

"The time, the place, and the age all match up. Plus, there is supposed to be a token that matches as well."

"Anyway, this person is very likely to be the real Ou Jiao."

"But for some reason unknown back then, the traffickers didn't register this child's sale on the records."

"That's why the Ou Family has been searching for so many years and never found them."

After listening to her, Xia Chu said, "It's fate playing tricks, I suppose. I hope this time they haven't got it wrong."

Jiang Shuqin nodded and said, "Good people get good karma; I hope there's no mistake!"

Suddenly, Xia Chu laughed and said to Jiang Shuqin, "Tell me, why are we two outsiders so excited about the Ou Family's business?"

"Or is it that you don't consider yourself an outsider to the Ou Family?" Xia Chu teased Jiang Shuqin with a wink.

Jiang Shuqin was stunned for a moment before realizing what she was hinting at and hurriedly said, "Chuyi, what nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever not considered myself an outsider to the Ou Family?"

"I have no relationship with anyone from the Ou Family!"

Jiang Shuqin was practically jumping with frustration.

Seeing her like this, Xia Chu's smile broadened as she said, "I didn't say you had a relationship with anyone from the Ou Family. Why the rush?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shuqin was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst out, "Xia Chuyi, you really are as cunning and sly as your husband, so sneakily malicious!"

Jiang Shuqin spoke without restraint.

Xia Chu smiled faintly, very composed, and said, "Oh, you're saying Huo Shiqian is cunning and deceitful?"

Jiang Shuqin: "..."

I concede defeat.

Meanwhile, at the Ou Family's home.

"Brother, I don't know what you're hesitating about? The time and place all match up, and there is the swaddling cloth, that swaddling cloth! Isn't it all Jiao Jiao's?" Ou Cong was somewhat agitated.

"She is Jiao Jiao!" Ou Cong banged on the table, imploring his elder brother, "Why are you still hesitating? Why don't you acknowledge her? Are you willing to watch her suffer out there?"

Ou Jun frowned and said, "Yes, I know, it's very likely to be Jiao Jiao."

"But I need to be absolutely sure about everything, to be certain she is really Jiao Jiao."

Ou Cong didn't know how many times over the years Ou Jun had almost mistaken someone else for her.

So now he was exceedingly cautious.

"Second son, you have to understand that if we recognize the wrong person, it's possible that the real Jiao Jiao might end up left outside," Ou Jun said seriously to Ou Cong.

But Ou Cong still couldn't comprehend, his eyes red and voice choked up, he said, "Brother, I'm not like you."

"I'd rather acknowledge the wrong person!"
