What Hooligan said was true!
She had worked tirelessly for her husband’s family, but look at her situation now!
Su Lan couldn’t bear it any longer. She closed her eyes, feeling like she was about to collapse, when Qin Zhenzhen rushed to her side and caught her.
“Elder Sister, you must stay strong. You have Xiaoyu to take care of,” Qin Zhenzhen urged, referring to Su Lan’s daughter.
Thinking of her daughter, Su Lan opened her eyes and nodded determinedly.
“Yes, I need to raise my daughter…”
At that moment, w.a.n.g Yizhi and a few others entered the room.
w.a.n.g Yizhi’s uncle was the first to ask, “Hooligan, are you at home?”
Qin Silong, who was nicknamed “Hooligan,” weakly answered, “Yes…”
The group of people filed in, including w.a.n.g Yizhi, his mother, and two men and two women.
w.a.n.g Yizhi was taken aback upon seeing Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong. He recognized them both.
Curious as to why the siblings were there, he spoke out, “What are you doing here?”
Amidst the tension, Su Lan’s mother-in-law suddenly lunged at her with intentions of slapping her.
Qin Zhenzhen swiftly pushed the old woman’s hands away and retorted,
“Watch your language! Show some respect!”
The old woman demanded angrily, “Who are you?”
Qin Zhenzhen replied calmly, “I am Su Bin’s wife, and he is my Fourth Brother. This woman here is our Elder Sister.”
The old woman scoffed dismissively and decided to put on a dramatic performance, making a scene on the ground.
“How dare you! My daughter-in-law is a home-wrecker, and now your sister-in-law is backing her up with her brothers! How humiliating! I don’t want to live any more!”
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched the old woman putting on a show.
It was no surprise that Su Bin had shown no mercy to w.a.n.g Yizhi’s family after gaining power; they seemed to have their fair share of faults.
w.a.n.g Yizhi, being a successful scholar who made it to Cultivated Talent, was far from stupid. He was determined to find out why Qin Zhenzhen and her brother were present.
However, his mother’s anxiety prevented any immediate action.
w.a.n.g Yizhi observed Hooligan, who sat there lethargically, as if they had discussed this situation before.
Deciding to start with Su Lan, he asked coldly, “Why are you in his room?”
Qin Zhenzhen held Su Lan’s hands firmly, comforting her. “Elder Sister, don’t be afraid. Just tell the truth; you still have us!”
Recalling Qin Zhenzhen’s words and thinking of her daughter, Su Lan summoned the courage to defend herself. Nonetheless, a woman who had endured mistreatment from her husband’s family for so long remained fragile.
Before she could reply, Su Lan began to cry.
“You asked me to borrow the iron hammer from his home, and now you’re pretending as if nothing happened. Are you trying to set me up?”
In a fit of anger, w.a.n.g Yizhi raised his hand as if to strike Su Lan. “You b.i.t.c.h, what are you talking about?”
However, Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t about to let him get away with it.
Before he could lay a hand on Su Lan, Qin Silong stepped in, pushing w.a.n.g Yizhi away.
Qin Zhenzhen pointed at w.a.n.g Yizhi, her voice sharp. “You call yourself a man, yet you would hit a woman? Shame on you!”
“Do you really think I don’t know that my Elder Sister make money on embroidery for your sake? Instead of showing any grat.i.tude, you have the audacity to raise your hand against her. Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution, being struck to death by lightning?”
w.a.n.g Yizhi felt his face burn with embarra.s.sment as Qin Zhenzhen scolded him.
The other four men and women who were called to apprehend the alleged adulterous couple exchanged bewildered glances, taken aback by the situation.
w.a.n.g Yizhi turned on hooligan, his anger apparent. “Hooligan, tell me the truth! Did you do something shameful with Su Lan?”
Su Lan, now in tears, felt an overwhelming urge to retaliate against w.a.n.g
Yizhi’s accusations.. “w.a.n.g Yizhi, you’re asking for divine punishment!”
