Zhang Weiguo's sinister gaze pierced Zhang Weimin.

It's like she's jealous, but also like she's asserting her dominance.

Ye Nian'an was the woman who almost became your brother's wife.

So you ended up drooling over Ye Nian'an in front of so many people...

What kind of behavior is this!

I thought you had once harbored feelings for your brother's wife!

Zhang Weimin was a little confused by Zhang Weiguo's gaze.

Ah, no...

What does Zhang Weiguo mean by this?

Does he really think he's Ye Nian'an's man?

She already married Chu Yan and they even had a child.

Right now, he was simply amazed by Ye Nian'an's beauty.

Why is he glaring at me?

In the end, it was all because Zhang Weiguo took in Ye Nian'an out of pity and wanted to marry her that all this mess happened!

"Comrade Shen Xiang, you seem quite unconvinced."

Ye Nian'an looked at Shen Xiang with a half-smile: "You were glaring at me like that just now... did you think the few slaps you received last night weren't enough? Hmm?"

She gently stroked the tassels of her maroon scarf with her fingertips, sunlight dancing on her eyelashes, making her smile appear even colder.

Hearing Ye Nian'an say that, Shen Xiang instinctively felt scared and shrank back.

Then, thinking about all these people, and the fact that she hadn't offended Ye Nian'an, if she dared to make a move again, it would only allow Jiang Tiancai to arrest her.

So many people saw it, we can't possibly cover it up!

“Sister Nian’an, I’m sure I haven’t offended you! All of this was caused by my godmother. You brought the police to our house last night to arrest people, and you even beat me and my child…”

"You're still so arrogant. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're the wife of a high-ranking official? The country is targeting people like you right now!"

Shen Xiang deliberately raised her voice, wanting everyone to hear. It was rare for her to use her brain, employing this method to attack Ye Nian'an and protect herself.

After speaking, she was quite satisfied with her own reaction.

But what happened next second—

"No matter how arrogant I am, I can't be as arrogant as you. As the widow of Zhang Weiguo's comrade-in-arms, you're standing so close to him now, practically glued to him. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Anyone who doesn't know the truth will think that your man didn't die to save Zhang Weiguo, but that you two, you despicable couple, deliberately killed him so you could take over his place!"

Ye Nian'an immediately unleashed a barrage of magic attacks.

Shen Xiang suddenly released her grip on Zhang Weiguo's sleeve as if she had been burned, her face as white as paper.

She looked around in a panic and found her neighbors whispering and pointing at her. She was filled with shame and indignation.

Shen Xiang stammered, "I...I didn't! Stop making false accusations! Ye Nian'an!"

"You can at least provide evidence to support your lies! My relationship with Weiguo is completely innocent; it's just a simple brother-sister relationship, nothing more!"

"Yes, Nian'an, Shen Xiang and I... are just siblings."

Zhang Weiguo offered his explanation, but as he said this, he stared intently at Ye Nian'an.

It was as if they wanted to find the slightest flaw in her face.

Find evidence that she still cares about him deep down.

However, Ye Nian'an did not reveal any unnecessary flaws, giving Zhang Weiguo futile hope.

"This is the first time I've ever seen siblings like this... A widow with a child moved into an unmarried man's house and they call each other brother and sister, tsk tsk tsk."

"I remember someone saying that they would settle down in the Zhang family's place for a while and then find a job and move out soon. But this settlement has lasted for several years. There should be a limit to burying your head in the sand!"

"If you try to cover this up like this, who will believe you if word gets out?"

Ye Nian'an's insults were as sharp and piercing as needles.

Shen Xiang wanted to say something more, but Zhang Weiguo stopped her.

These days, saying too much is tantamount to making a mistake.

They had already experienced firsthand Ye Nian'an's remarkable verbal skills.

Compared to this...

A sense of sadness flashed through Zhang Weiguo's mind.

He tried to find a trace of jealousy in Ye Nian'an's reaction just now, but all he saw was indifference.

She really...

Don't you care at all?

The number of onlookers is growing.

Zhang Weimin and Shi Fangfang also unconsciously moved aside, not wanting to be involved in the heated confrontation with Ye Nian'an.

Firstly, Ye Nian'an currently holds the power of life and death over the Zhang family, and they are unwilling to offend him.

Secondly, they knew that Shen Xiang had been living in Zhang Weiguo's house, and many rumors had already spread outside.

In those days, it was quite shocking for a widow with a child to live under the same roof as an unmarried man.

Zhang Weiguo was unable to have children, and Li Dahong was concerned about Tang Jiang taking care of him in his old age and seeing him off in his final days. Zhang Weimin and the others were well aware of this.

This is a last resort.

Fortunately, they separated and moved out.

When asked, he could only deny knowing anything, claiming that Zhang Weiguo was simply repaying a debt of gratitude.

Ye Nian'an knew that among the people watching here, there must be some who wanted to steal the boy's luck from Old Li.

They will definitely come today to see how the police investigation is going, whether any evidence has been left, and to take appropriate action.

Previously, I observed discreetly, not wanting anyone to notice.

Now that so many people have gathered to watch the spectacle, we can watch it openly and honestly.

However, the people that Song Yan and Xu Yao arranged were definitely among the crowd, watching for any suspicious traces on certain people's faces.

What Ye Nian'an needs to do is to bring those rats hiding in the shadows into the sunlight and expose their true colors.

Therefore, the bigger the commotion, the better.

DaDa seemed to have a telepathic connection with Ye Nian'an, and at the right moment, he looked up and asked in a childish voice, "Mommy~ Is the widow living at the house of the unmarried SuSu because she's going to have a baby?"

"But..."

The big, adorable little face scrunched up in confusion: "The widow has another baby! What should we name the new baby?"

The soft, sweet voice that uttered those words didn't sound like deliberate sarcasm, but rather genuine, innocent curiosity.

The child's innocent words were like a bomb, instantly igniting a discussion among the onlookers.

"These must be Li Dahong and his wife, right? They're quite famous in our alley."

"Hey, they're not a couple, they're half-siblings."

“A widow living in a man’s house with her son for so long is unacceptable, even if she were married, let alone unmarried.”

"They must be having an affair. Maybe this son is Zhang Weiguo's child."

"Oh, so they got involved in something while they were in the army? Could it be that Zhang Weiguo and his gang killed her husband too?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"No wonder when I saw that brat Tang Jiang before, he looked so much like Zhang Weiguo when he was a kid."
