What Hooligan said was true!
She had worked tirelessly for her husbandâs family, but look at her situation now!
Su Lan couldnât 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.
âElder Sister, you must stay strong. You have Xiaoyu to take care of,â Qin Zhenzhen urged, referring to Su Lanâs daughter.
Thinking of her daughter, Su Lan opened her eyes and nodded determinedly.
âYes, I need to raise my daughterâ¦â
At that moment, Wang Yizhi and a few others entered the room.
Wang Yizhiâs uncle was the first to ask, âHooligan, are you at home?â
Qin Silong, who was nicknamed âHooligan,â weakly answered, âYesâ¦â
The group of people filed in, including Wang Yizhi, his mother, and two men and two women.
Wang 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, âWhat are you doing here?â
Amidst the tension, Su Lanâs mother-in-law suddenly lunged at her with intentions of slapping her.
Qin Zhenzhen swiftly pushed the old womanâs hands away and retorted,
âWatch your language! Show some respect!â
The old woman demanded angrily, âWho are you?â
Qin Zhenzhen replied calmly, âI am Su Binâs wife, and he is my Fourth Brother. This woman here is our Elder Sister.â
The old woman scoffed dismissively and decided to put on a dramatic performance, making a scene on the ground.
âHow 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 donât want to live any more!â
Qin Zhenzhen couldnât 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 Wang Yizhiâs family after gaining power; they seemed to have their fair share of faults.
Wang 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 motherâs anxiety prevented any immediate action.
Wang Yizhi observed Hooligan, who sat there lethargically, as if they had discussed this situation before.
Deciding to start with Su Lan, he asked coldly, âWhy are you in his room?â
Qin Zhenzhen held Su Lanâs hands firmly, comforting her. âElder Sister, donât be afraid. Just tell the truth; you still have us!â
Recalling Qin Zhenzhenâs words and thinking of her daughter, Su Lan summoned the courage to defend herself. Nonetheless, a woman who had endured mistreatment from her husbandâs family for so long remained fragile.
Before she could reply, Su Lan began to cry.
âYou asked me to borrow the iron hammer from his home, and now youâre pretending as if nothing happened. Are you trying to set me up?â
In a fit of anger, Wang Yizhi raised his hand as if to strike Su Lan. âYou bitch, what are you talking about?â
However, Qin Zhenzhen wasnât about to let him get away with it.
Before he could lay a hand on Su Lan, Qin Silong stepped in, pushing Wang Yizhi away.
Qin Zhenzhen pointed at Wang Yizhi, her voice sharp. âYou call yourself a man, yet you would hit a woman? Shame on you!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you really think I donât know that my Elder Sister make money on embroidery for your sake? Instead of showing any gratitude, you have the audacity to raise your hand against her. Arenât you afraid of divine retribution, being struck to death by lightning?â
Wang Yizhi felt his face burn with embarrassment 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.
Wang Yizhi turned on hooligan, his anger apparent. âHooligan, tell me the truth! Did you do something shameful with Su Lan?â
Su Lan, now in tears, felt an overwhelming urge to retaliate against Wang
Yizhiâs accusations.. âWang Yizhi, youâre asking for divine punishment!â
