All we heard was her excited shouts. Without caring whether the people inside could hear her, she grabbed the fence gate with both hands and knelt down in the yard with a thud.

Good heavens!

Ye Yun, who was hiding in the shadows, was startled and didn't know which part of her body to be surprised about first!

She ran back into the house without making a sound.

Inside the room, Qin Zheng and Mu Jingsheng were discussing their recent developments in the provincial capital.

After returning home, Qin Zheng got busy with work. Although he was still at home, he would go to Lü Guohua's house several times a day to answer calls from the provincial capital.

Mu Jingsheng came to Huaicheng this time because he didn't want to miss such a good development opportunity.

Mu Jingsheng has always only focused on developing in prosperous cities, and Huaicheng was not part of his development plan.

Things are different now.

Ye Yun is here, and Qin Zheng is her son-in-law. If Qin Zheng wants to make a living in Huaicheng, then as his father-in-law, he will naturally lend him a hand.

The real estate industry is still in its early stages and has a very promising future.

Although Qin Zheng's current business is not large, his vision is something that this veteran investor absolutely approves of.

The two were chatting away when Ye Yun opened the curtain and entered the room with a tense expression.

The sight of Li Xiuying kneeling before them deeply shocked her. The impact on her heart far exceeded what she showed on her face. She was so shocked that she didn't know how to make a face for a moment.

She pursed her lips and walked up to Qin Zheng, then gently patted his shoulder.

Qin Zheng turned to look at her.

She met Qin Zheng's gaze, blinked, and looked enigmatic and hesitant.

Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback. What was going on?

Ye Yun pondered for two seconds, then decided to give up and forced a smile, saying, "I have something to tell you."

"..."

Seeing that her expression was very strange, Qin Zheng thought that she had encountered a problem. He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, then put his arm around her waist and patted her lower back gently to comfort her. He said in a deep and gentle voice, "What happened? Tell me without worry."

"Your mother is outside."

"..." Qin Zheng was silent for two seconds, his attitude turning slightly cold: "Wife, where did I get a mother?"

"She knelt at the door."

"..."

This time, Qin Zheng truly fell silent.

...

Half an hour later, Qin Zheng, wearing a military overcoat, went to see Li Xiuying. As expected, a crowd had already gathered at the gate.

In the monotonous mountain village, even the slightest incident in any household becomes big news.

A mother kneeling before her son is a rare occurrence throughout history. Although the two individuals involved have long since severed ties, it still seems shocking to many.

Everyone was talking about it.

Curiosity, confusion, or even the mockery and disdain of those who knew the inside story—countless strange gazes fell upon Li Xiuying, making her blush with embarrassment.

Unlike before, Li Xiuying endured all this without resorting to cursing.

She has a temperament that doesn't tolerate being bullied. If someone had talked behind her back and pointed fingers at her like that before, she would definitely have retaliated!

Unfortunately, times have changed.

"Yo~ Qin Zheng is out!"

In the midst of the brawl, someone shouted something, and the crowd erupted in cheers, all turning to look at Old Qin's house.

Upon seeing Qin Zheng emerge, they all became incredibly excited, each one eager to stir up trouble, shouting, "Qin Zheng! What a rascal! He's actually made his own mother kneel down one day!"

"Qin Zheng! Don't be fooled by her again, she's not kneeling for you!"

"Have you heard about what happened to the third son of the Guo family? That's called loving your son so much. She's kneeling for the life of your brother who came out of the same womb as you. It has nothing to do with you. You've grown up, have you ever seen her show you any love?"

"Hahaha……"

They were all just there for the spectacle, completely unaware of how hurtful their words were.

However, there were those who genuinely cared about Qin Zheng, looking at him with worried expressions, hesitant to speak.

For example, Aunt Tian.

When Aunt Tian came out to empty the chamber pot, she saw Li Xiuying kneeling at the door of Old Qin's house, yelling that she wanted to apologize to Qin Zheng and Ye Yun. She was so frightened that she almost slammed the chamber pot on her precious grandson's head.

Has the sun risen in the west?

No, even if the sun rises in the west, Li Xiuying can't apologize to Qin Zheng.

What is this called? Acknowledging one's mistakes and repenting?

Forget it!

Look at Li Xiuying's fierce and stern face, with her pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks. Does she look like someone who knows her mistakes and repents?

The third son of the Guo family is practically a carbon copy of her; he's skinny like a monkey, with triangular, slanted eyes and protruding ears—he looks like a cunning and sly little devil.

The Qin family members are definitely good-looking.

Qin Zheng looked just like his father, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and a tall and strong build. He looked incredibly imposing standing there, a true strong and powerful man!

As she pondered this, Aunt Tian began to discriminate against Li Xiuying and the Qin family for their appearance.

She wanted to go up and comfort Qin Zheng, telling him not to interfere in Li Xiuying's affairs, but she saw Qin Zheng push open the door, glance at Li Xiuying expressionlessly, and walk through the crowd towards the direction where Lao Guo's family was temporarily staying.

The cold wind blew his military overcoat, swirling up the fallen leaves and making a rustling sound.

The dry leaves rustled against the ground and were blown by the wind to Li Xiuying. Li Xiuying looked up and stared in the direction Qin Zheng had left, speechless.

The surroundings were completely silent.

For a moment, no one could figure out Qin Zheng's meaning, and they all remained silent.

"What are you still standing there for?" A cold voice came from the slope, waking Li Xiuying.

Li Xiuying turned her head and looked at Ye Yun, who had suddenly appeared, with even greater surprise in her eyes. She looked at her with disbelief and disbelief.

Ye Yun, holding the child, stood inside the door, staring at Li Xiuying with an indifferent expression.

"You know Qin Zheng never holds back when she goes at it. If you don't go back soon, your youngest son will be beaten to death by her."

What!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuying was so shocked that she jumped up and, without even bothering to brush the dust off her clothes, hurriedly chased after Qin Zheng in the direction he had left, as if she were being reincarnated.

As she chased after him, she reached out and shouted, "Zhengzi! Zhengzi, wait for your mother!"

She must have caught a chill from kneeling on the ground, because she was running with a limp and almost fell halfway down. She rubbed her knees and continued chasing Qin Zheng.

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she stopped and turned to look at Ye Yun, who was holding the child on the slope. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Ye Yun, you stay home and wait. I'll apologize to you properly when I get back!"

A hush fell over the crowd.

Until Li Xiuying's figure disappeared into the morning mist, the once quiet crowd suddenly became noisy, like boiling water.

"What's going on?"

"Who knows!"

"Damn it! I was hoping to see Li Xiuying get her comeuppance, but Qin Zheng just left like that?"

Aunt Tian also threw down the chamber pot and rushed to Ye Yun, looking worried. "Zhengzi's wife, don't you know how difficult Li Xiuying is? Why did you send Zhengzi over there?"
