Everyone was arguing, but only the second son's wife noticed, but she was too far away to stop it!

"Thump!"

The old lady landed on her head.

Lin Wangshi, who was closest, immediately picked up the old lady, but when she saw that the old lady's head and face were covered in blood, she was so frightened that she cried out in horror!

"ah!"

Everyone was terrified.

"Quick, call a doctor! Get a doctor!"

But before the doctor arrived, the old lady died.

Perhaps he died on the spot from the fall.

Perhaps it will die a while later.

But no matter when he died, it doesn't change the fact that he's already dead!

The brothers had no time to grieve; they looked at each other and reached an agreement!

"The old lady couldn't be separated from the old man, so she killed herself by hitting her head against a wall!"

The old lady and the old man had always had a good relationship, but in everyone's eyes, the old lady was someone who couldn't do anything and had to depend on the old man to survive.

So once the Lin family had agreed on their story, no one else suspected anything.

They even brought down a memorial archway for the old lady to commemorate her loyalty.

The Lin family had just finished the funeral when they started raising the mourning banners again.

Oh, or rather, they set up a mourning hall before the leaves had even been picked.

"Should we tell my sister about Mother's matter?" Lin Huainan asked his brothers hesitantly.

Lin Huaidong was the first to object: "What are you talking about? She's not a biological daughter of the Lin family."

Lin Huaixi also had his own considerations: "It's better not to, after all, Mother..." It wasn't his fault that she was killed, so it's better not to cause any more trouble.

Some things should be kept secret.

"But what if my sister comes later and blames us for not telling her?"

"So what if she says a few words? Is she going to eat you? Besides, she's not your biological daughter. What's wrong with not telling her?"

Lin Huaidong was extremely annoyed.

Organizing a funeral is already exhausting, and now there are two in a row.

The old lady's passing did not cause her much grief; instead, her children and grandchildren felt exhausted and began to harbor resentment.

Just imagine, kneeling in the mourning hall takes up an entire day!

Add to that other things, and it's really going to be a nightmare!

It's truly heartbreaking!

However, Aunt Chi was destined to remain unaware of these matters.

Because at this point, she had already left the town and was on her way back to Pinghe Town.

On the carriage, Chi Tang asked his mother:

"Mother, are you really not going to the Yang residence in the capital?"

Just as they were about to leave, Yang Yi arrived again.

The purpose, of course, was to invite them and their family to the capital.

Now that there is evidence proving that Aunt Chi is indeed Madam Yang's biological daughter, the next step is naturally to go and acknowledge her as her relative.

But Aunt Chi refused outright.

"I won't go yet. I... need to rest. Besides, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. How can I, as her mother-in-law, keep running around like this?"

Aunt Chi sighed.

My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, which is indeed a problem.

Actually, the more important issue is that Aunt Chi herself hasn't adjusted her mindset.

She didn't know how she should face her biological mother.

She knew, of course, how much Madam Yang loved her, but the two had never spent time together, and she didn't know how to accept such deep affection.

If she is still young, even before she gets married, they can hug and cry together to strengthen their bond.

But now...

Adults can be timid and hesitant at times.

"It's alright, Mom's happiness is the most important thing. Whenever Mom wants to go, I'll go with you." Chi Tang held her mother's big hand with her little hand and gave her a pure smile.

Aunt Chi held her daughter, feeling incredibly content.

Old Man Chi was driving the carriage outside when he heard the laughter and chatter inside, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Their daughter is truly a gift from heaven!

This trip lasted only five days.

But when she returned, Aunt Chi felt as if she had lived through another world.

I arrived home at dusk.

The warm, orange glow of the setting sun cast long shadows, and the walls beside the entrance to Fenghua Hall were covered with vines, resembling a purple waterfall.

"Wow, this is such a beautiful place, is this our home?" Chi Tang exclaimed as she stepped down from the carriage, exaggeratedly cupping her face in her hands and acting all cute.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Wu opened the door from the inside.

Upon seeing her, he immediately said, "Father, Mother, Tangtang, Yajie has returned to the capital. She left the shop, the people and things for making lipsticks, and told you to arrange them."

"What? Why did that girl go back? Can someone like Madam Wang treat her well?"

Aunt Chi was extremely anxious.

Why did the child go back?

Little Fifth Brother rolled his eyes and muttered, "How do you know if they've gone back to enjoy their retirement?"

"Chi Wuhu! You're a man, why are you so narrow-minded? I've already figured things out, what's there that you can't understand?"

"If Huo Yajie were like her mother, then you'd be right. But she's just like Chen Yi, both of them are the ones who get bullied. Why are you targeting her like this?"

Aunt Chi had dark, heavy eyebrows.

She really finds it disgusting that men are so petty!

What can possibly happen?

Little Fifth Brother blushed at his mother's words and whispered, head down, in his defense: "I wasn't targeting her, I just... I just..."

"Alright, you don't need to tell me. Anyway, Ya Jie is gone, and this might be the last time you see each other."

Brother Wu: ...

Why do I feel so uncomfortable after his mother said that?

"Mom, you're back! How did it go?" Chi Dashan helped his wife slowly walk out.
