“He didn’t hurt Eleven, so I’m willing to believe that he loves my child,” Zhan Jingting analyzed. “You have to understand, if my grandfather were really still alive and needed my child’s blood to save him, how could he possibly let go of Eleven, who has already recovered?”

"So I guess Jiang Cheng was acting under orders. He couldn't go against my grandfather's wishes, but he couldn't bear to hurt Eleven. After all, he treated me better than he treated Jiang Dong."

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "If that's the case, then it makes sense."

"I hope so, that he retains a conscience, and that our other child is living peacefully somewhere in this world."

“Jingting, I’m increasingly convinced that there are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world. Wen Xue is heartless and insane, but in the end, she still remembers the happy life she had with Shiyi and the beautiful hope that she would return to China to marry you.”

"And Jiang Cheng, if it's really as you say, he's not an absolutely bad person either."

"Wanwan, human nature is inherently complex."

"Um."

"I don't want to think about it anymore." Zhan Jingting touched her face. "Let's continue."

Qiao Wanwan blushed. "Mr. Zhan, why is your mind filled with all this lewd nonsense?"

The man chuckled softly, "Miss Qiao, are you insulting yourself? My mind is filled with nothing but you, so you're just a piece of dirty trash?"

Qiao Wanwan was both amused and exasperated. "Zhan Jingting, you're asking for it!"

The two laughed and joked around, and soon they were fighting.

A room full of enchanting beauty...

......

The next morning, Qiao Wanwan got up early and took Shiyi out for a morning exercise.

When I returned, Ruan Tang was already sitting in the restaurant, greeting me as if nothing had happened, "Sister-in-law, it's November, come and have breakfast."

Qiao Wanwan stepped forward. "Has your fever gone down?"

"I've already retired, but I'm still a bit weak. My aunt called me to come for breakfast."

Qiao Wanwan carried Shiyi to her seat.

Ruan Wanyi and the Ghost Hand Doctor also entered the restaurant and dined together.

While eating, Ruan Tang looked at Qiao Wanwan and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Jiang Dong that you're going to hand Wen Xue over to the police?"

"You're quite well-informed," Qiao Wanwan said with a faint smile. "Is there something wrong with how I handled it?"

Ruan Tang said, "I think that since Shiyi is safe and sound, and Wen Xue herself was seriously injured, we should be lenient and not send her to jail."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"I spared Wen Xue's life, which is already repaying the kindness of raising her for more than eleven years. If you want to be a bodhisattva, go somewhere else. We don't need bodhisattvas here."

Ruan Tang said seriously, "You know that Wen Xue has been raised for over eleven years. Her kindness in raising you is greater than heaven, so you can't treat Wen Xue like this."

"How did I treat Wen Xue?" Qiao Wanwan laughed instead of getting angry. "She drugged and took Eleven away, which was a crime in itself. It's only right that she be handed over to the police for conviction."

"Fortunately, nothing happened to Eleven this time. But if Eleven had been hurt in any way, I would have made her wish she were dead."

Ruan Tang chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you haven't been married to Brother Jingting for long, but you've learned quite quickly. Your tone of voice is very similar to his."

"However, you can only say such things because you are the wife of the Zhan family. So it's better to say it at home. If you say it outside, people will think you are just using someone else's power to bully others."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"You think I'm not capable of dealing with someone on my own, is that right?"

Ruan Tang remained silent, which indicated her agreement.

Qiao Wanwan didn't care at all. "You don't need to imply that I'm incompetent. Even if I really am incompetent, protecting my child is an instinct. I'm not going to be a bodhisattva, so you'd better not interfere with my decisions, you female bodhisattva."

Ruan Tang panicked, "Sister-in-law, you..."

"Alright," Ruan Wanyi interrupted Ruan Tang, "Why are you arguing like this? Tangtang, you don't know how awful Wen Xue is. Wanwan is right to do this. People like Wen Xue can't even stay quiet in a mental hospital; they can only find peace in jail."

“Wanwan, Tangtang has always been this kind since she was little. She wouldn’t even step on an ant, which is why she said what she just said. Don’t mind her, Mom supports you.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "Since the knife hasn't been stabbed into her, of course she can act like a saint."

“Sister-in-law, you’re wrong about that,” Ruan Tang argued. “Eleven is my nephew, and I love him very much. What do you mean by ‘the knife wasn’t stabbed into me’?”

"I didn't see any sign that you cared about him, otherwise you wouldn't be protecting the person who harmed him."

Ruan Tang said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, how could you deny my love for him in front of Eleven? You've gone too far!"

Qiao Wanwan tilted her head. "Didn't you bring this up first?"

"I..." Ruan Tang was about to argue when she suddenly saw Zhan Jingting walk in, and she quickly shut her mouth.

"What are you talking about?" Zhan Jingting asked as he sat down, noticing that Qiao Wanwan looked a little unhappy.

"Your dear cousin thinks I shouldn't have sent Wen Xue to jail."

Zhan Jingting frowned slightly and looked at Ruan Tang, "I didn't intend to give Wen Xue a way out. It was Wanwan who wanted to accumulate good karma for the child, so she didn't take action herself and dealt with it through legal means. Do you have any objections?"

Ruan Tang: "......"

"Brother Jingting, I didn't mean to doubt you!"

"Your questioning of Wanwan is tantamount to questioning me," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Wanwan and I are husband and wife, so this is naturally a decision we make together. And even if our decision is wrong, it's none of your business to interfere."

Ruan Tang's face flushed red and then paled, and she whispered, "Brother Jingting, I understand..."

Qiao Wanwan calmly continued eating her breakfast.

Before she had finished breakfast, Ruan Tang stood up and said, "Auntie, I feel a little dizzy, I'll go back to my room first."

"Are you feeling unwell again?" Ruan Wanyi asked worriedly. "Go back to your room and lie down quickly. I'll have the doctor come and check on you in a bit."

"Um."

After Ruan Tang left, Ruan Wanyi spoke up, "Jing Ting, be careful what you say to your sister. You know she's frail and can't handle stress."

Zhan Jingting disagreed, "If she's weak, we should have the doctor take good care of her. We can't let her be so weak that we can't even talk to her."

Ruan Wanyi: "..."

“Jingting, Tangtang developed her illness because of you back then, so you should take better care of her.”

“Mom,” Qiao Wanwan said, “Have you forgotten who my master is? Since Ruan Tang has done so much for Jing Ting, we should repay her properly. Let my master take a look at her; maybe he can cure her illness.”

Ruan Wanyi was overjoyed, "That's right, the miracle doctor is in our house. If there's any illness that can't be cured, then we'll have to trouble the miracle doctor."

The legendary healer smiled and said, "It's nothing."

......

After breakfast, Jiang Dong came to report, "Master Zhan, the young mistress..."

Qiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about Su Cheng?"
