Chapter 1209 - 1208: National Treasure Xia Chuyi

This move by Huo Shiqian was indeed very strategic.

If Xia Lianlian was only charged with attempted murder by poisoning—Xia Chuyi wasn’t greatly affected, so it would just be considered attempted murder.

Even with strict enforcement over, and even if Huo Shiqian intervened, Xia Lianlian’s sentence would still be according to the maximum penalty.

In a few years, Xia Lianlian could be released.

On the contrary, by putting her in a mental health institution... if she can’t be treated, she won’t be able to get out; it’s a lifelong matter.

Moreover, even if Xia Lianlian isn’t insane, she could be driven insane while being confined.

Ou Zhenting had no objections to Huo Shiqian’s handling of the situation and simply said, "This way is also good; those who make mistakes must be punished!"

"Humph, sparing her life is to pray for my grandson," Ou Zhenting snorted coldly.

It must be said that Ou Zhenting’s words were exactly what Huo Shiqian thought.

Even with his wife’s Heavenly Book medicinal food, Huo Shiqian was still somewhat worried about the child.

So, confining Ou Lianlian to a mental health institution serves as a form of punishment for her.

On the other hand, Huo Shiqian is also waiting.

Waiting to see if anything goes wrong with the child. If nothing happens to the child, then Xia Lianlian can peacefully stay in the mental institution for the rest of her life.

But if there are problems with the child... then sorry, he would certainly make Ou Lianlian accompany in death.

"As for Zhao Chunxiao..." Huo Shiqian’s eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "Such a woman is unworthy to be a martyr’s widow."

"So, I’ve already instructed Chang Luhui to have her name completely removed from the Xia Family."

This "punishment" seems rather mild.

But for Mother Xia, it’s no less than torture.

"After her removal, the Ling County Public Security Bureau will formally prosecute her," Huo Shiqian said coldly, "Let the court decide accordingly."

As long as Mother Xia is removed from the Xia Family, her life will be nothing but painful.

"Alright, proceed accordingly!" Ou Zhenting gritted his teeth and said, "If Chuyi doesn’t ask about this, don’t tell her."

"If she asks..." Ou Zhenting sighed and said, "Tell her carefully, don’t let her get too emotional, or disturb her pregnancy."

"Mm." Huo Shiqian nodded, agreeing with this.

After their conversation, Xia Chuyi came looking for them.

"Dad, Shiqian, how did your discussion go?" Xia Chuyi asked, "Mom, we’re having a meal."

"Alright, alright, we’ve finished our talk, we’ll come right away." Seeing his beloved daughter arrive, Ou Zhenting immediately stood up and supported Xia Chuyi, "You should have let Auntie come to find us, why did you come yourself? Be careful not to disturb your pregnancy."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi felt helpless and said, "Dad, my body isn’t that weak..."

She was just taking a few steps, it’s not a big deal at all!

As she spoke, she glanced at her husband, hoping he would speak up for her.

But who knew, Huo Shiqian would support her from the other side, nodding and saying, "Lord Father-in-law is right."

Xia Chuyi: ...

And so, the two men escorted Xia Chuyi to the dining table like she was a national treasure.

"Mom..." After sitting down, Xia Chuyi called Mrs. Ou helplessly, hoping Mrs. Ou would side with her, "Do you think Dad and Shiqian are being overly cautious?"

"Better safe than sorry," Mrs. Ou said instead, "After all, the first three months are very risky."

Xia Chuyi: ...
