Shi Qingluo thought more deeply than Xiao's mother thought.

She asked Xiao Hanzheng: "Have you ever had a feud with that doctor or his family?"

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head, "No."

Shi Qingluo raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the old house. "If that's the case, this doctor wants to harm you. Someone must have bribed him to do that. It might be done over there."

Mother Xiao was stunned. "The people in the old house value money as much as their lives. Would they be willing to spend money to bribe a doctor?"

"And why would they want to kill Zheng'er? We have all separated and cut off our relationship."

It's not that she didn't believe her daughter-in-law's guess, but she was puzzled.

Xiao Hanzheng found that his young wife was too smart and perceptive.

He explained to Xiao's mother, "The people in the old house are reluctant to give up, but there are others who are willing to give up."

"For that woman, as long as our family is alive, we are just annoying her."

"It tarnished her love with that scum."

"I don't want my nominal son to pass the imperial examination and appear in the capital in the future."

"Then someone will dig up those past events and let people know that she is just a general's wife who rose to power through a concubine."

"Let people know about their uncle and niece's shameless adultery."

He had never thought in his previous life that even though they had taken the initiative to separate the family and break off the relationship, that woman would not let him go.

Moreover, the arrangements were all very secretive and linked together.

When he woke up in his previous life, he was the only one left at home.

Remembering that he didn't fall off the mountain by himself, he always felt that something was wrong with the deaths of his mother and others, so he secretly investigated and discovered these things.

On the surface, that woman looked like a pure and delicate flower that needed a man to carefully nurture and care for her, but secretly she was more cruel and ruthless than anyone else.

Xiao Hanzheng felt a little bit reluctant when he saw his mother's pale face, but he still decided to expose the truth.

"When I was chopping wood in the mountains, I felt a pain in my calf, and then my leg became numb and weak."

"I'm sure someone hit my leg with a well-aimed stone, which caused me to lose my balance and fall down the mountain."

He continued, "Erlang's drowning should not be considered a pure accident. Someone deliberately said that drinking fish soup could save his life, so he went fishing."

Even if Erlang himself didn't have a cramp in his leg, he could go fishing a few more times and let the villagers know.

If the woman were to kill him, Erlang would be drowned in the river without anyone suspecting him.

"The first and third wives of the old house are going to marry my sister to the Wu family to be buried with her. That woman must have been involved."

In his previous life, he found out that it was the maid that the woman left behind to serve the old lady who got the news that the Wu family had spent a large sum of money to marry and be buried with the old lady, and that is why she instigated the two men to do it.

Mother Xiao's face turned pale again, "She forced us into this state, and she still won't let us go? How can she be so cruel?"

He actually wanted to kill all of them, mother and children. That's horrible.

Xiao Hanzheng said: "She can even use the child in her belly to frame you, so what's the point of her wanting to harm us?"

"Then your father." Xiao's mother changed the subject with a trembling voice, "Does that scumbag know?"

Xiao Hanzheng sneered at himself, "Do you know what can be changed?"

"That woman probably didn't let him know about these things. After all, it would damage her image in that scumbag's heart."

"But even if he knew, as long as she cried out of grievance and sadness and said she wanted to avenge the lost child, that scumbag would never pursue the matter and would even comfort her instead."

He has completely understood his scumbag father's personality.

That woman is the scumbag father's true love. All of them combined are not even as good as that woman.

Mother Xiao was so angry that she was shaking all over, "But you are his children!"

How could there be such a cruel person?

Mother and their siblings are proof of that scumbag’s unhappy youth and bad past.

It's good enough that he didn't have the heart to kill them with his own hands, let alone think that he would take care of them.

That woman is very smart. If it weren't for the scumbag father's cold attitude towards them, or even a grudge against them, she wouldn't have to worry about being blamed or punished by the scumbag father if something really happened one day.

Only then would he dare to be so cruel as to secretly eliminate their entire family.

The scumbag dad is not innocent.

Mother Xiao took a deep breath, "But if that's the case, why did they propose to take you to the capital for training?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "She said she wanted to take me to the capital, but it was that woman who suggested it."

"On the one hand, in the old house and in the village, she appears to be very generous."

"On the other hand, does Mother think she really has good intentions?"

"As long as I go to the capital, the General's Mansion will be her territory. She has the final say on how to manipulate it."

"Even if I died, she could just find an excuse to get away with it."

He had never thought about it in this way in his previous life. After all, there wouldn't be so many secretive ways of fighting in the harem in the village. He had never seen them.

He refused to go to the capital with them, not because of that woman, but because he was disgusted by his scumbag father. He didn't want to become a person like him, and he couldn't let go of his mother and others.

It was only after he found out what the woman had done that he thought of these things.

The worst thing that Xiao's mother had experienced in the past was being suppressed by her mother-in-law and bullied by her sisters-in-law.

I never thought there would be such a vicious and cruel woman, and such a heartless man.

It was Xiao Laoer who fell in love with her back then and came to our house to propose marriage.

Before the marriage, the man kept coaxing her to fall in love with him and agree to marry him, and he even went to ask his parents for permission himself.

Otherwise, her parents would not think highly of the people in the old house and would not want her to marry into the Xiao family.

After getting married, she and that scumbag had a sweet time together.

Before he went off to serve in the military, he wasn't too bad to her, and he was also pretty good to his eldest son.

Xiao Hanzheng saw what Xiao's mother was thinking at a glance.

"Mom, he is the second child in the family and is not valued by the old couple. You are the only daughter of your grandparents and your family is not bad, so he wants to marry you."

"Marrying you did bring him some benefits, because he learned martial arts from grandpa and developed excellent martial arts skills."

His grandfather used to be a good hunter in the village. He also learned martial arts from a master and worked as a bodyguard for the escort company. He was very skilled.

If his scumbag father had not learned martial arts from his grandfather and served in the military, he would not have been able to rise to the position of general step by step.

He continued, "It is also because of the frequent subsidies from my grandparents that we live a good life and I can even go to school."

"After grandpa and grandma passed away one after another, the old couple of the Xiao family changed their attitude and began to suppress you, allowing the other two families to bully you."

"That scumbag has become a lot colder towards you, you should be able to feel it yourself."

"And was he really forced to serve in the military? I think he just went with the flow and had it all planned out in his mind."

The scumbag dad has always been ambitious and unwilling to live the life of an ordinary farmer. Joining the army is also a way to rise, and he did succeed in the end.

He didn't want his mother to deceive herself anymore, let alone have any more hopes or thoughts about that scumbag.

Mother Xiao couldn't hold back her tears, "He is a beast, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

At this moment, the last bit of hope, longing and affection in my heart was completely cut off, leaving only hatred.

Her children are her bottom line and the pillar of her survival. She cannot step on them even if it is the scumbag she once loved.
