Yu Tingwan’s eyes were deep as she looked at him coldly: "At least be human, do sothing human."
Xiang Si: "What exactly do you want!"
"I haven’t offended you. Clinging to this, do you want to get so benefit from ?"
Yu Tingwan: ...
What do you have?
Old age?
Xiang Si thought he had a point: "We have a child. If sothing happens to , what will she do, what will the child do?"
"Do you care?"
Yu Tingwan sneered: "Ha."
Xiang Si said loudly: "No matter what, the child is innocent!"
"My eldest son hasn’t even married yet."
"My little daughter is only five years old now and can’t be without parents at this age."
"If you destroy my family, you will receive retribution."
The Xiang Family’s son was already impatient.
If it weren’t for Yu Tingwan’s good looks, he would have acted long ago.
"Get out of the way!"
"We’re going back."
His tone was very bad.
"As if without this lunatic, my family couldn’t live. If not for my father, I wouldn’t recognize her."
"And still fight for her?"
"My dad is a good person! He brought her back, why should he be criticized by you?"
Yu Tingwan only asked: "Was she ever sober?"
The Xiang Family’s son: "None of your business."
Yu Tingwan: "She was sober but didn’t want to recognize you, wasn’t she."
She smiled: "Know why?"
"She’s a lunatic..."
Yu Tingwan interrupted: "Your existence and your sister’s only disgust and sha her."
"You siblings were born when that man took advantage of her confusion and defiled her innocence. The children of the enemy, nothing more."
"Your father is no good; do you think you are?"
Her tone was gentle, but her words were not.
"Sixteen already, not young either. Soone who doesn’t understand the grace of life, still has the face to despise her?"
"What picking?"
"Seeing a silver ingot on the road and returning it to the owner is picking it up. Putting it in your pocket and taking it for yourself is no different from theft."
What’s more, a woman is a living person, not an object.
"I don’t care how old you are, or how old your sister is. I can’t stand this nonsense of innocent children."
The sins committed by Xiang Si cannot simply be passed over with these four words.
Yu Tingwan: "Your existence is not innocent."
"If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to et people."
The Xiang Family’s son had never been so humiliated or heard such words.
He rolled up his sleeves: "Don’t give face if it’s not wanted!"
He dared not hit anyone.
After all, behind Yu Tingwan stood Wei Zhao, who was tall and strong.
And he had inherited his father’s figure and appearance.
Just bluffing.
It was obvious he knew Yu Tingwan’s words were sharp but not wrong.
If things really got out of hand, the Xiang Family wouldn’t benefit either.
But as a beneficiary, he felt deep down that his mother’s experiences and misfortunes were not worth ntioning.
The Xiang Family’s son’s face was expressive.
People around could see he was bluffing.
Xiang Si saw it.
Wei Zhao saw it too.
So did Yu Tingwan.
But she never played by the rules.
"Husband."
Yu Tingwan turned her head: "He wants to hit ."
"I’m so scared."
Wei Zhao couldn’t hear fear.
Instead, he heard a little excitent in Yu Tingwan’s tone.
Wei Zhao: ...
"How about killing him?"
Wei Zhao’s tone was light: "People who shouldn’t have been born, disappearing is nothing."
Everyone: ???
They thought Wei Zhao was just talking.
Who knew that the man in front of them had killed more people than could be counted.
Xiang Si: "You!"
He was enraged, ignoring everything, and acted before the Xiang Family’s son.
But he hadn’t even got close to Wei Zhao.
No one saw how Wei Zhao acted.
Xiang Si was already flying away.
He crashed heavily onto the gate.
With a loud bang.
At the sa ti, there was the sound of bones breaking.
Then ca a shrill wailing sound.
"Dad!"
The Xiang Family’s son was frightened and ran over, trying to help him up.
But halfway through reaching out, he didn’t dare to move.
"Dad, are you okay?"
He was at a loss, could only look at Wei Zhao in anger, wanting to devour him.
"If anything happens to my dad..."
Yu Tingwan interrupted.
"What’s wrong with your dad, losing the argunt, and trying to attack us?"
The Zhou Family’s Daughter-in-law was dumbfounded.
"This this this..."
This could lead to prison.
She looked at Xiang Si, then at Wei Zhao.
"This..."
Yu Tingwan spoke leisurely: "Self-defense."
Wei Zhao: "That’s right."
The Zhou Family’s Daughter-in-law: "But his bones..."
Yu Tingwan: "My husband didn’t use force."
"He’s just too fragile."
Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow, unhurriedly: "It really can’t be blad on ."
Yu Tingwan looked at the trembling door: "Whose house is that?"
The Zhou Family’s Daughter-in-law: "...My house."
Yu Tingwan: "The door probably can’t be used anymore, it needs replacing."
Seeing the good door was ruined, the Zhou Family’s Daughter-in-law was furious too!
Yu Tingwan: "The Xiang Family did it, they’ll certainly pay."
"Since we’re just across the street, we’ll see each other frequently in the future."
Those words were familiar.
The Zhou Family’s Daughter-in-law choked.
Yu Tingwan: "Oh, almost forgot."
"He’s going to jail, you won’t see him."
"Maybe he’ll die in jail, and you’ll never see him again."
Everyone: ...
They tried to digest it.
Only the woman in Yu Tingwan’s outer garnt remained empty-eyed.
She didn’t worry about Xiang Si.
Nor did she care about the Xiang Family’s son.
Even... not even relieved.
She just kept repeating.
"Go ho."
"Child."
"Go ho."
Right then, a young girl’s warm hand held her tightly.
The girl’s voice was soft.
"Alright, I’ll take you ho."
————
Night was deep.
Yu Tingwan ca out of the next room, gently closing the door.
Wei Zhao stood in the yard.
"Is she asleep?"
Yu Tingwan: "Fed her so porridge, then she slept."
She stepped closer, finally standing in front of him.
After speaking, she took a deep breath.
"Speak."
Wei Zhao sighed: "You already know."
Yu Tingwan was silent.
The child the woman ntioned was... her.
Wei Zhao: "According to the law, Xiang Si will only serve three years."
Yu Tingwan pressed her lips together.
Three years.
Ruin a woman’s life.
Clearly, n and won are unequal.
Wei Zhao said blandly: "I’m very sorry, the law is biased towards n."
"The governnt is rotten to the core, and I can’t change it now."
"However..."
Wei Zhao: "How do you want him to die in there?"
"That’s sothing I can do."
"As for that pair of children..."
Yu Tingwan said: "The Xiang Family’s son is bound to be trouble, husband, handle it as you see fit."
"And the daughter?"
Yu Tingwan heard herself cold-bloodedly say: "She’s still at an age without mory, unaware of past grudges, it’s a good thing. Send her to Cixintang."
Cixintang, a children’s shelter founded by the people in recent years.
Yu Tingwan: "Everyone has their fate. Let’s see how she fares on her own."
"No need to keep an eye on her, there won’t be any contact in the future."
Yu Tingwan stood beside him, looking up at the sky.
No stars, adding loneliness.
Wei Zhao’s voice ca: "I investigated that incident, but too many years have passed. Grand Tutor Gu didn’t want outsiders to discuss the family’s affairs, so it was hard to investigate."
He didn’t know how Yu Tingwan got lost.
But he knew one thing.
"That year, when the Gu Family returned to the Capital, there was one less maid by Madam Gu’s side."
