The Zhang family.

When Lin Zhaoyue arrived, she happened to hear the cursing in the courtyard, and she stopped in her tracks.

"You're so lazy all day long, do you expect me, your mother-in-law, to serve you?"

"Lin Mingyue! If you don't obey, believe me, I'll make my son divorce you!"

"..." Lin Mingyue was wearing gray clothes and her hair was just casually tied up. She was washing the clothes in the basin with a "resigned" attitude.

If she applied too little force, Zhang's mother would scold her for not eating and for being useless.

The force was too strong, and Zhang's mother scolded her for doing it on purpose...

No matter what I do, it's wrong.

Lin Mingyue, who used to be so arrogant, has become like this.

It would be a lie to say that Lin Zhaoyue felt nothing after reading it.

Compared to her, the Jiang family treated Lin Zhaoyue much better.

Her mother-in-law, in particular, dotes on her like a daughter.

Lin Zhaoyue stood at the door for an unknown amount of time until she was spotted by Zhang's mother.

Who are you?

Zhang's mother looked Lin Zhaoyue up and down; she had never met any members of the Lin family before.

I just felt that this person was dressed quite expensively, and seemed to be someone important.

"I am," Lin Zhaoyue paused, "I'm here to see my sister."

After saying that, Lin Zhaoyue called out to Lin Mingyue, "Sister, are you free now? Let's go out and talk for a bit."

"Oh~ you must be Lin Mingyue's sister who married into a wealthy family!"

Just moments ago, Zhang's mother had a bitter expression, but now she was smiling obsequiously.

"You're so lucky to have married! He's incredibly handsome, so much better looking than my daughter-in-law. I should have chosen you if I'd known!"

After hearing her words, Lin Mingyue's already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant.

Lin Zhaoyue's visits to her are never good news.

"You may like someone, but they might not like you!"

Lin Mingyue retorted sarcastically, "She would never marry a poor man like you!"

"Hey! You!" Just as Zhang's mother was about to scold her daughter-in-law again, she noticed that Lin Zhaoyue was also there. Thinking that Lin Zhaoyue's status was now extraordinary and that she might be able to benefit from her in the future, she stopped scolding her.

Lin Mingyue stood up, shook the laundry water droplets off her hands, and looked at Lin Zhaoyue impatiently.

What do you want from me?

"Let's go outside and talk!"

Lin Mingyue muttered, "So long-winded!"

Lin Mingyue followed her out and noticed the car parked not far from the door, which fueled her anger even more.

"You didn't come here just to find out how well you're doing now!"

Lin Zhaoyue, I know you're living a good life now. I've never been able to compare to you in anything since we were little. You must be so smug now!

"Lin Mingyue, do you think it's meaningful to say these pointless things in the current situation?"

The rest of the Lin family have already gone to the countryside.

The only ones who remained in Beijing were the three cousins.

Lin Mingyue, the eldest sister, has not contacted her family even once since the incident.

Lin Mingyue's words were too naive, and Lin Zhaoyue couldn't bear to listen to them.

"Then what do you mean by 'interesting'?"

Lin Mingyue retorted with a curse.

"What we need to do now is to unite, not fight against each other!"

Lin Zhaoyue looked at Lin Mingyue with disappointment, as her brain simply couldn't conceive of such a method as "using underhanded tricks behind people's backs".

Someone must have contacted Lin Mingyue.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Zhaoyue continued, "When I got married, my aunt told me that no matter what mistakes I made, she wouldn't hold it against me, and that the three of us should help each other."

Lin Mingyue: "..." Thinking of her mother, her eyes suddenly reddened.

If I had known that married life would be this difficult, I would have preferred not to get married at all.

If we had gone to the countryside with our families, life would probably be better than it is now.

Lin Mingyue stubbornly wiped away her tears, "Just say what you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush here."

"Those rumors about me and Fang Lei that circulated in the compound, they all came from your mouth, didn't they!"

Lin Zhaoyue stated her purpose directly.

"yes!"

Lin Mingyue admitted it.

"It was me who told everyone. I can't stand seeing you living a good life now. So what if you know? Go ahead and arrest me if you dare!"

"I already said, we're family, why would I arrest you?" Lin Zhaoyue thought her brain was really a bit stupid.

When will his intelligence catch up?

They didn't even realize they were being schemed against.

"Lin Mingyue, we've known each other for so many years, I know what kind of person you are."

Lin Mingyue is used to speaking out about any grievances she has suffered and settling scores face-to-face; she would never scheme against someone behind their back.

She disliked gossiping behind people's backs even more.

He loves to give people the cold shoulder to their faces.

"I'll only say some things once, so listen carefully."

Lin Zhaoyue took a deep breath and said slowly, "This person instructed you to hope that we sisters would become enemies again and again, preferably fighting each other to the bitter end, and the final result would only be that we both suffer losses."

"Lin Mingyue, if I am truly affected by these gossips you've spread and the Jiang family divorces me, then the Lin family will truly have no chance of ever coming back."

"..." Lin Mingyue wasn't interested in what Lin Zhaoyue had said before, but she was very interested in the last sentence!

"What did you say?"

Is there any possibility that the Lin family members who went to the countryside will return?

“We’ve been framed this time. As long as we find the real culprit, my dad, my brother, and your parents might be able to come back. Although our family is finished now, don’t forget that our grandfather made a comeback back then. My uncle and my dad learned a lot about business from him.”

Lin Zhaoyue said, "Your life is not easy right now because your mother-in-law looks down on you. When I showed up just now, your mother-in-law didn't even dare to say a word! Believe me, if I had a falling out with you in front of your mother-in-law, your life in your husband's family would be even more difficult from now on!"

"..." Although Lin Mingyue didn't really want to listen to Lin Zhaoyue's words, what she said made a lot of sense.

Lin Mingyue was stunned.

"Are you serious?"

"Can't you tell the difference between what's real and what's fake? If we're both finished, who do you think will help the Lin family find the real culprit?"

Lin Mingyue gasped sharply, then paused for a moment before saying, "Mu Jingwan told me to do this!"

It's her!

Lin Zhaoyue found out.

"Hmph! For my parents' sake, I won't bother you anymore. You'd better keep your word."

"Of course I keep my word!" Lin Zhaoyue said earnestly.

Lin Mingyue hesitated, "Then what do you need me to do? Find someone else to clarify things with you?"

"I came to you only to confirm the real culprit behind this, and there's nothing else I need you to do."

After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she noticed the hem of her clothes behind the door out of the corner of her eye, and curled the corner of her mouth. "Second sister, if your mother-in-law dares to bully you again, just tell me, and I'll have my husband warn Zhang Wenzhong! And our eldest sister can protect you too. The daughters of the Lin family are not so easy to bully!"

Lin Mingyue got goosebumps just listening to her mushy words!

How come she didn't realize Lin Zhaoyue was such a good actress back then?!
