"Smack!"

Tian Guifen raised her hand and slapped Chen Wanli hard across the face.

She carried all her grievances and resentment.

Bearing all the guilt towards that child, and the bitterness hidden for so many years.

Shen Wanli's face was frozen in shock.

This was the first time the couple, married for decades, had ever laid a hand on each other.

Shen Wanli's gaze was filled with sorrow, and his body trembled slightly.

But he dared not resent it, nor did he harbor any resentment.

Because it was him... I'm sorry.

"It's all your fault! Otherwise, how could my fourth son have died? How could he have?!"

Tian Guifen broke down in tears.

Those hidden pains, deliberately brought to light by Yin San Niang today, have once again caused Tian Guifen heart-wrenching pain.

Hearing his mother's sudden cry of pain, Shen Sanlin, who lived in the west wing next door, felt a jolt in his heart.

What does that mean?

Didn't the stone die of illness?

What does it have to do with Dad?

Although it was because the family couldn't afford medical treatment, but...

An An's gaze also sharpened.

"Um?"

Shen Liuliu had woken up at some point, her black grape-like eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy and watery.

She was a little dazed. She got up, scratched her hair, pouted, and stretched out her hands to An'an: "Hug me, let's go see Mom."

What happened to Mother?

She thought she heard her mother crying.

The little guy was getting a bit anxious.

She needs to go and comfort her.

An'an picked up the little one, but instead of going to the east room, she comforted her, "Liu Liu, don't worry, let your parents handle it themselves, okay?"

This is a knot in the hearts of the couple.

It would be inappropriate for anyone to go.

He understood that Liu Liu's aunt had come in such a hurry today, probably to help resolve his aunt's inner conflict.

“But, but Su Niang is crying, and Liu Liu has to comfort her.”

Shen Liuliu was still half asleep and hadn't realized that the person holding her was An'an. She pouted and acted coquettishly, "Liuliu, go and comfort Mommy, then Mommy won't cry anymore."

Her mother cried, and her heart ached.

“You didn’t cry, listen? You were dreaming,” An’an said.

Shen Sanlin's lips twitched.

His clever little sister would never say something like that...

"Oh, you're dreaming. I'll go back to sleep then."

After saying that, Shen Liuliu leaned on An'an's shoulder and continued to sleep soundly.

Shen Sanlin: ...

Sis, can't you just let me not slap my face?

An'an held the fast-sleeping Liu Liu contentedly, smelling the milky scent on her body, feeling very at ease.

It feels so good to have her by my side.

Oh, the adorable little dumpling...

It's just a pity he's too young. Looking at the adorable Liu Liu, he can't suppress his loving fatherly heart.

Um?

A loving father's heart?

How could he have such a thing?

An An's face immediately darkened.

Shen Sanlin frowned.

What's wrong with him?

In the east wing, Yin San Niang's thoughts were indeed as An An had guessed.

Looking at her sister-in-law crying in Shen Wanli's arms, Yin Sanniang sighed inwardly.

This sister-in-law may seem loud and fierce, but she's actually very soft-hearted.

She would want to repay even a little kindness from others tenfold.

And Shen Wanli was indeed good to her.

So when she saw Shen Wanli caught in the middle between his mother and daughter-in-law, Tian Guifen backed down without Shen Wanli having to say anything.

Although Guifen forgave Shen Wanli for what happened back then.

But Yin San Niang could see it clearly.

Guifen still harbored a burning anger within her.

Perfect timing! We can take this opportunity to remove the cancer in Guifen's heart.

The pain is temporary.

It's better than being tormented day and night.

"Sister-in-law, wife, don't worry. From now on... I will go to my father once a month to bring him money and sit for a while. I won't agree to any other requests besides food and drink."

As for the children, they can go if they want, and I won't force them if they don't.

In fact, Shen Wanli was not unaware of how much his wife had been hurt by what happened back then.

However, human emotions are complex.

How could he not hate back then?

But Dad only ever did one thing that wronged him, and even then, he had his reasons…

After that, his father didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Gradually, he remembered the good times and forgot the pain of the past.

That's not enough for him.

He hoped his wife could forget that incident and remember her father's kindness.

However, Shen Wanli was not an obstinate person. When Yin Sanniang exposed him, he saw his wife in so much pain and suddenly understood.

Providing food and drink is enough for my parents.

He should focus all his remaining energy on his own family.

"You'd better understand. Shen Pengfei absolutely cannot be let go. Even if the old couple threatens to kill themselves, we can't let him go. Otherwise, you might be able to save Ahe and your two grandsons this time, but next time you might lose even more!"

"To regret it later would be the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Yin San Niang speaks very directly.

Her second purpose in coming here was to get Shen Wanli to keep that scoundrel Shen Pengfei locked up in jail!

We must not be lenient.

She wasn't worried about anyone else, except for Old Master Shen.

Once the old man pleads for mercy, Shen Wanli will inevitably soften his heart.

That's why she brought up the past when she arrived, making Shen Wanli feel guilty, plus the matter of Ahe hadn't been resolved yet...

As long as Shen Wanli still has a heart, he will never forget those painful memories.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not let him get away with this."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Shen Wanli's eyes.

He absolutely would not allow this bug to affect or harm his family again.

If his parents force him to let it go...

Then they are not his parents!

"That's good."

Yin San Niang stood up, very satisfied with Shen Wanli's performance. She said, "Come, take me to see Ahe and the child."

"Shall we eat first?"

"I'm not eating. I rushed here after hearing the news; my family doesn't know yet."

Yin San Niang was an impatient person, and when she heard others talking about this matter, she rushed over.

Tian Guifen knew her sister-in-law's temper, so she didn't insist. She wiped her eyes, but they were still red, so she said, "Sister-in-law, you go see for yourself. I..."

She didn't want the children to see her cry.

Yin San Niang nodded, and without any hesitation, went directly to the east wing.

As soon as you enter, a wave of heat hits you.

The heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) inside the house was very warm and cozy.

Wang Xiuhe had already woken up, but she was still unable to move and could only barely look at the child; she couldn't hold him.

Shen Yishan looked at the tiny baby, his eyes reddening with heartache.

It's too small.

The two babies combined weigh about the same as Daqiao and Xiaolou when they were born.

"Auntie? What brings you here?"

Hearing the commotion, Shen Yishan turned around and was extremely surprised.

Yin Sanniang waved her hand at Wang Xiuhe, who was trying to sit up, and quickly said, "Child, you're already in such poor health, why are you trying to sit up? I'm not an outsider."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Xiuhe lying down obediently.

She first examined Wang Xiuhe's condition and nodded, "Your face is pale, but your overall spirit is still quite good, so you shouldn't have suffered too much."

"Thanks to my mother's willingness to spend money and the old doctor's skillful hands. And, and that little guy Liu Liu too."

Wang Xiuhe answered weakly.

Yin San Niang was taken aback: "Liu Liu? What does this have to do with Liu Liu?"
