aels.Zong Jia's lion's big mouth really opened his eyes. Su Yu angrily flew out of Zong Jia's courtyard and walked towards the village downhill.Zong Yulian, seeing the situation, immediately shook off...Mu Shi was struck dumb, like lightning had hit him. He couldn't recover for a long time.

She had thought of many possibilities for why her husband hadn't returned home, even though he was alive. Perhaps he was being held hostage, or maybe he was severely injured, even disabled and suffering from amnesia. She considered all these options.

The only thing I hadn't considered was that he had already married someone else, and he seemed completely unscathed.

No, it's not that she didn't think about it at all. Perhaps this was the possibility she was most unwilling to face, so she subconsciously pushed it out of her mind.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's that I dare not.

"Mother."

Mu remained silent for a long time, her eyes vacant and unfocused. Fang Jinxiu and Yu Lian and the others were very worried.

She softly called out to Mu Shi, who jumped as if awakened from a deep sleep.

"You, is what you're saying true"

"Could I have made a mistake somewhere"

Mu's voice was hoarse. She couldn't accept what her daughter-in-law had just said, even though the scale in her heart had already tipped towards the truth.

Fang Jinshi didn't rush to persuade Mu Shi. In her daily life, Mu Shi often mentioned this unseen father-in-law, and from time to time, she would tell the children about their experiences when they were young.

When Zong Pingchuan had an accident, Yulian and Zong Bo hadn't been born yet. The only person in this family who remembered Zong Pingchuan, their father, was Zong Yu.

The Mu family didn't want the other two children to have no impression of their father at all, so they often reminisced about the past and told the children.

And the elder Mrs. Wang described Zongpingchuan as being elegant, with exceptional literary talent, disciplined, and ambitious. He was also very gentle and loving towards his wife and children.

Although Mu Shi suffered much torment from the Wu clan after marrying into the family, she never forgot her husband.

Before Zong Pingchuan's accident, their couple were considered loving.

How could a person deceive everyone with news of their death and then remarry in the capital

Mu shi couldn't understand, deep down he still didn't want to believe this was true.

Fan Jinshi felt that the effect of this vaccine was sufficient at this point, so she didn't continue talking. Instead, she let Xiaoyue help Mu Shi go back to rest.

Today, telling her the truth is just to let her mother-in-law have some mental preparation, not to completely persuade her to accept reality.

Reality was too cruel for her, a woman who adhered to the three obediences and four virtues, with a gentle heart.

Zong Bai's body is fine, just a little dehydrated and malnourished. Probably he didn't eat much along the way, and he probably didn't have the appetite to eat.

More than anything, it's the psychological trauma that's hit me harder. I slept for two days and woke up feeling like a lifeless wooden puppet.

Not until he saw Fang Jinshi did Zong Bai restrain his inner emotions, his eyes reddened, and his gaze was filled with grievance.

Sister-in-law.

Fan Jinxiu brought over a bowl of chicken soup with medicinal herbs, "We already know about what your father-in-law did."

"Mother knows."

"Don't worry, dear, I'm fine."

When Zong Bai learned that his mother also knew about his father's affair, his expression immediately became anxious.

Fang Jinshu immediately soothed him.

"Drink the chicken soup first and recuperate your health before we talk."

"No matter how big the event, your own body is more important."

Zong Bai had no appetite for soup now. When he learned of this in the capital, he was so devastated by the blow that he wanted to kill the person responsible. He desperately tried to find him and demand an explanation for why they had done such a thing.

He had never met his biological father. Hearing the news drove him crazy, let alone after waiting for his mother who he had thought of for over ten years.

"No, sister-in-law, I have to go see my mother. I can't bear the thought of her suffering like that."

Zong Bai struggled to get up, but Fang Jinxiu pushed him back down.

Normally obedient Zong Bai was now like a lost soul, his pent-up emotions from these past few days surged within him like the sea, impossible to release. It constricted him, making him feel uncomfortable everywhere.

He shoved Fang Jinshu for the first time, hard. She stumbled backward a step, her back hitting the sharp corner of the cabinet, and instinctively frowned as she felt the pain in her back.

The bowl of chicken soup slipped from her hand with a crash, shattering into five pieces on the floor. The aroma of medicinal chicken soup instantly filled the air.

The scalding broth also reddened Fang Jinshi's delicate skin, and a large patch of her hand was visibly red.

Upon seeing this, Zong Bai stiffened all over, a tinge of guilt flickering in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you alright"

He was just about to step forward, when Fang Jinyu took the first step towards him and raised her hand.

A loud slap landed on Zong Bai's face. He tilted his head, and a burning pain immediately spread across his cheek.

Fang Jinshi has always loved her two younger siblings very much, treating them like her own younger brother and sister.

Especially Zong Bai, she will always remember who was the first to show her kindness when she first arrived at the Zong family, calling her sister-in-law ever since.

This was the first time she had spoken to Zong Bai in such a cold and severe tone.

"It's useless."

"Too hard to look at."

"Without your elder brother at home, is this how you support the family"

"Facing problems, they only retreat to their homes, torturing themselves by starving and refusing food, going mad with shouts and screams."

"Zongbei, you have disappointed your elder sister-in-law."es flickered, and she had a plan in mind.The Wu family, originally screaming and scolding each other while cleaning themselves up, suddenly stopped their actions upon hearing Fang Jinshu say she would...
