"What could possibly go wrong? I asked you to raise him in the first place just to torment him, and then I wanted you to kill him when you'd tormented him enough. But now you've lost him."

"Besides, I've already given birth to a son for the master, so what is he? Do you expect me to come back and fight with my Yang'er for the family property?" Aunt Liu glared at Steward Liu with exasperation.

Manager Liu smiled ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, yes, my cousin is right. I'll go back and look for it right away, but the journey is long and it's snowing. I've already spent all my travel money on the way here..." After saying that, he looked at Aunt Liu's expression to see if she believed him.

"You want money again? Do you think I'm a money tree? I'll give you one last time." Aunt Liu thought that now that the slut's son was dead, he had no evidence.

Manager Liu just smiled apologetically.

Don't even think about asking her for money again.

Jiang Zaishui was very familiar with Aunt Liu's voice. He hadn't expected that he still had a son alive. Although he didn't like Chen Xuening, the child was still a member of the Jiang family.

Aunt Liu dared to utter a sound and secretly disposed of the person, yet he didn't discover it for ten years.

Jiang held the teacup in his hand with an unreadable expression.

His colleague shook his head. "The most poisonous heart is a woman's. How vicious this woman is! She even dared to murder her own husband's legitimate son. What else wouldn't she do? I'm afraid there's a lot more going on in the inner quarters."

He leaned against the armrest, a mocking look on his face. "Look at the man in this family, he's a complete idiot. He doesn't care about his wife at all, but spoils his concubine so much that she's arrogant and doesn't know her place. He even dares to murder his own son."

He spoke as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

Jiang Zai Shui felt as if countless slaps were hitting his face, and he was about to get up and leave.

But it seemed like the neighbors didn't want him to leave.

Manager Liu counted the small amounts of silver notes in his hand.

He felt a familiar voice enter his ears, "I think I heard that bastard's voice."

Aunt Liu said impatiently, "How is that possible? How could a child of ten years old walk all the way from Gyeongnam to the capital?"

She smiled disdainfully, thinking, "Dream on, you think you can trick me into giving you more money?"

Aunt Liu didn't believe it at all.

A commotion arose downstairs, interspersed with the cries of children begging.

Manager Liu's expression changed drastically. "It's him, it's him! I know his voice all too well."

Aunt Liu panicked immediately. "Is what you're saying true? How is that possible? A ten-year-old child could walk that far in this freezing weather?"

What should we do? The master is still inside. What if he finds out?

No, the master had no idea he had a son living in this world.

The most important thing right now is to get that bastard away as soon as possible, and everything will be fine.

Aunt Liu snatched the silver note from Steward Liu's hand. "Why don't you hurry up and arrest him? The master is also in this Drunken Spring Pavilion. If he finds out, we'll both be in deep trouble. Hurry up and come find me for the silver after you've done it."

"Shouldn't we tell my brother-in-law? After all, this is his child," Manager Liu asked.

"Why tell him! If he doesn't like Chen Xuening, why would he like the child she gave birth to? Haven't I been holding Jiang Wei hostage all these years?"

Aunt Liu didn't care at all. "After you get that bastard out, hurry up and kill him. It's no big deal if a few people freeze to death in this cold weather."

Jiang Zai Shui couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and left without even saying goodbye to his colleagues.

After Jiang Zai Shui went out, he saw Jiang Wei standing at another doorway looking at him.

Jiang Wei saw someone open the door and come out. She turned around and glanced at him. When she found it was her father, she stared straight at him.

She was expressionless, emanating a terrifying aura, and her eyes were like an ancient well that could devour one's soul.

She just stared straight at him.

Jiang Zai Shui suddenly stopped in his tracks, so startled that he forgot to breathe.

His daughter seems to have completely changed.

"You must kill him for me, do you hear me?" Aunt Liu repeatedly instructed Steward Liu from inside the door.

"If he's still alive this time, you can forget about being the manager." Aunt Liu warned him before opening the door to the private room.

Aunt Liu froze after opening the door, and found Jiang Wei standing at the door. After waiting a few seconds and seeing that Jiang Wei did not react, she assumed that Jiang Wei had not heard anything.

She breathed a sigh of relief and put on her usual smile. "Wei'er, did you hear that your father and I were dining here and come specifically to find us to dine with you?"

"Come on, I'll take you there." With that, she stepped out the door.

With his feet still in mid-air, he saw Jiang Zai Shui standing to the side. "Master...Master."

Aunt Liu, feigning composure, probed, "Master, have you come looking for me?"

Jiang Zai Shui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Neither he nor Jiang Wei spoke, and Aunt Liu was unsure whether they had heard him or not.

Aunt Liu touched her forehead with the back of her hand, her eyes filled with spring-like longing as she gazed at Jiang Zaishui.

She swayed her already somewhat plump waist a few times, came in front of Jiang Zaishui, and stretched out her hands in front of him, wanting to hold his hands.

Jiang Zai Shui swung his arm back, dodging Aunt Liu's hand.

Aunt Liu's hand froze in mid-air, a chill ran through her heart, and she silently withdrew it.

Jiang Rou was satisfied and smug. Her father had specially brought them here, and even Jiang Wei, that bitch, didn't have such an opportunity despite being the legitimate daughter.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing here? Our food is served, let's go back and have our meal," Jiang Rou's sweet and affected voice rang out.

Jiang Rou saw a familiar figure beside her mother. 'She really is involved in everything. Even when Father takes our family out for a meal, she can still find us.'
