Before long, Old Lady Fu had "tricked" Ruan Jiaojiao into coming over.

Upon seeing the scene before her—Old Man Fu sitting in his chaise longue, with Fu Chunhua groaning beside her, and Fengxian serving her tea and water, but Fengxian seemed absent-minded today, lost in thought.

"Dad." Ruan Jiaojiao greeted him respectfully as she entered the room.

"You worthless wretch! Look what you've done to your older sister! Kneel down right now!"

Old Man Fu threw a piece of iron at Ruan Jiaojiao's knee. If it hit, it might cripple Ruan Jiaojiao's leg!

Fu Chunhua watched all this with excitement, but Ruan Jiaojiao avoided it.

And he looked completely calm.

“I didn’t harm her; she brought it on herself.”

While Fu Chunhua and Fengxian were still amazed by Ruan Jiaojiao's agility, Old Man Fu had already sat back down, unfazed, and said, "Nonsense! If it weren't for you, how could Chunhua have been beaten by those women on the street?"

"Because she has a sharp tongue."

"You, you, you, you..."

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't care how angry Old Man Fu was.

Ever since Old Man Fu witnessed Fu Jun beating Shen Junmei for decades, and then tried every means to keep Shen Junmei by Fu Jun's side without considering Shen Junmei's feelings, and even after the incident with Widow Ma, he still morally blackmailed Shen Junmei into forgiving Fu Jun, Ruan Jiaojiao had no good impression of this old man.

The only reason he still respectfully calls him "Father" is because of Fu Ting's sake.

“Dad, since you want to know, I’ll tell you again so you can see clearly—your daughter came back to the village at the foot of the mountain to show off. She got into a verbal fight with those women, and when she couldn’t win the argument, she started it. Those women were just defending themselves. Even if you take this to the police station, it’s still my eldest sister’s fault.”

"Let me tell you something else. Keep a close eye on your Fengxian. Huo Yunshu brought her back today, and she even accepted gifts from him. You can check it out if you don't believe me."

The topic of conversation suddenly shifted to herself, which startled Fengxian.

Startled, the White Rabbit candy that had been hidden in her sleeve fell out.

"Ah!" Fengxian exclaimed softly, then quickly picked up the fallen candy and stuffed it into her bosom.

Fu Chunhua swiftly pulled the milk candy from her arms and asked, "Did that man give you this?"

"What's the man's family background like? How much dowry can he offer?"

Fengxian blushed and said, "Mom, we've only met once, and we both like each other, but we haven't gone that far yet."

"You scoundrel! That's your second aunt's old flame! Why do you have to be with him of all people? If word gets out, what face will the Fu family have left?"

"I, I..."

Seeing that things were getting chaotic, Ruan Jiaojiao saw no need to get involved and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Fu Chunhua was still thinking about the man Fengxian had found.

"Dad, you're saying... Ruan Jiaojiao was with that man before?"

"It's not exactly like they're together. Ruan Jiaojiao had always liked that guy, but she couldn't win him over. Then, by some twist of fate, she got pregnant with Fu Ting's child, and that's how she got together with Fu Ting," Old Man Fu took a sip of tea and continued, "Because of this, our family has let Ruan Jiaojiao down, so please don't be too harsh on her. You're both at fault today, so let's just let it go!"
