"Mom, you... you believe I did something bad?"
Su Yueyue's eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Even if I'm a terrible person, you raised me for twenty years! Now you find me annoying, don't want to talk to me, and want to kick me out... But in my heart, you will always be my parents. How could I... hurt you?"
She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face and falling onto the back of her hand.
His aggrieved look was heartbreaking to see.
Shen Cunpu was taken aback, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Could it be...?
Did they really misunderstand her?
Was she really just there to deliver medicine?
She didn't do it?
These thoughts swirled in her mind.
"Su Yueyue".
Su Qingzhi stepped out of the room.
"You still haven't answered my mom: how did you know my dad was injured when you were in the county?"
She could tell that her mother was wavering.
Su Yueyue's acting was so convincing.
His restraint and innocence, every expression precise and nuanced, could fool almost anyone.
But Su Qingzhi didn't believe it.
She has seen too many pretenses and too many human hearts.
Su Yueyue froze upon hearing the sound.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze meeting Su Qingzhi's face.
At that moment, it felt as if an electric current surged from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
Wasn't she already dead?
But the person in front of me is clearly her.
Lately, she keeps dreaming about the plot of a novel.
She found the book at a junkyard; it tells a story called "The Rebellious Daughter."
The book says that Su Qingzhi panicked when she heard that Shen Zhiyu had died.
She aborted her baby and then went to hang out with Li Tieniu.
The villagers pointed and whispered, but she didn't care at all.
Her own father was so angry that he died, and she didn't even wear mourning clothes; she just sat on the doorstep eating melon seeds.
Shen Guanglin was so angry that he went to her door to argue with her and try to persuade her to change her mind.
As a result, he was beaten black and blue by Li Tieniu at Su Qingzhi's behest.
She wasn't finished yet; she pulled out a stack of IOUs, saying that Shen Guanglin owed her money.
Later, her biological daughter came to her for help, saying that she had been bullied.
She beat him up badly and called him a good-for-nothing.
The girl left, covered in bruises.
When I got to the riverbank, my foot slipped and I fell into the river.
The water was rushing, and no one came to her rescue.
Finally, the body was pulled up downstream.
What's even more shocking is that Shen Zhiyu didn't die at all.
He returned to Qingshan Village quietly.
When he heard that his entire family had been killed by Su Qingzhi, the anger in his heart instantly overwhelmed his reason.
That night, he took a wood-chopping knife and went straight to Li Tieniu's house.
The knife flashed, and blood splattered.
Before Li Tieniu and Su Qingzhi could even let out a scream, their heads were chopped off and fell to the ground.
The villagers didn't discover the scene until the next morning, and several of them fainted on the spot.
After the incident, Shen Zhiyu did not flee.
Instead, he sat in the courtyard, holding the blood-dripping knife in his hand.
The factory quickly intervened, and the court sentenced him to death for intentional homicide.
On the day of the execution, the sky was terribly overcast.
When the gunshot rang out, he closed his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, he finally avenged his family.
But now...
Everything is in chaos.
So what's going on with her body now?
Has the plot completely gone astray?
She forgot that before she traveled through time, Wang Chunhua had already accepted the betrothal gifts from Li Tieniu's family.
Perhaps from that moment on, fate began to quietly change course.
"Sis...when did you get back?"
Su Yueyue forced a smile.
She learned this from Wang Chunhua; Su Qingzhi was born half a day earlier than her.
Since she intended to establish herself in this household, ingratiating herself with Su Mingdong's family was of paramount importance.
Then Su Qingzhi can only be coaxed by her as an older sister for now.
It's not too late to settle scores slowly once she has the family firmly in her grasp.
Ever since she started collecting and selling herbs in the mountains, she became even more convinced that she was the protagonist of this world.
Everyone in the book is just a supporting character paving the way for her.
The love of adoptive parents, the protection of older brothers...
All of this rightfully belongs to her.
Su Qingzhi?
Ha, it's nothing more than a stepping stone for her to build up her kind persona.
Upon realizing this, Su Yueyue's gaze towards Su Qingzhi immediately changed.
Just moments ago, she was wary and calculating, but in an instant, she transformed into tenderness and affection.
She blinked and gave a pure and innocent smile.
"Su Yueyue, you still haven't answered me?"
Su Qingzhi frowned slightly.
"Is it really that hard to ask me this?"
She had some doubts.
The way Su Yueyue looked at her just now was clearly not right.
But upon closer inspection, all that remains is her obedience.
"Did you disturb the paddy field ridges?"
Su Qingzhi suddenly took a step closer, her voice lowered.
"Otherwise, how could my dad have fallen so badly? He was walking fine on the ridge of the field yesterday, and today he slipped, tumbled down the slope, and broke his leg. It's too much of a coincidence. Tell me, did you do it?"
She stared intently into Su Yueyue's eyes.
Su Yueyue's heart skipped a beat, her legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance.
That look in his eyes is absolutely terrifying.
She almost instinctively averted her gaze.
"Sister, I... I really only heard from people who came back from the city that Dad had an accident, and that's why I was so scared that my soul almost left my body, and I rushed to get medicine!"
Su Yueyue's eyes reddened, and her voice softened instantly.
"I traveled so far just to bring Dad some life-saving medicine... Is that not allowed? Does even my filial piety have to be questioned?"
