"Let's go take a look. But be careful not to alert them."
The two arrived at Fang Youming's house quietly.
They stood against the corner of the wall for a while.
The room was quiet; there was no sound of voices and no light shining through.
Su Qingzhi said softly.
"I'll go in and take a look first."
With a flicker of clothing, the figure vanished into the dark courtyard.
Although Shen Zhiyu had heard Chang Xi mention that Su Qingzhi knew kung fu, it was just hearsay.
Now, witnessing her lithe and agile figure moving through the night, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
My wife is so capable, I absolutely cannot fall behind and lose face.
Su Qingzhi landed lightly without making a sound.
She held her breath and, using the dim moonlight outside, quietly approached the old wooden window.
He then turned slightly to the side and cautiously peered into the room through the crack in the window.
The candlelight flickered inside, casting two clear shadows on the wall.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seems Liu Yuelan hasn't made a move against Zhu Xiuqin yet tonight.
At least for now, everything is still under control, and the situation has not completely spiraled out of control.
"Is Su Qingzhi really related to Li Hong?"
Fang Youming's voice was low and inquisitive.
"certainly."
Liu Yuelan spoke calmly, without the slightest hesitation on her face.
"Everyone in our area knows that Zhu Xiuqin has always wanted Su Qingzhi to be her daughter-in-law."
Fang Youming frowned slightly.
Did the two of them actually do anything?
Liu Yuelan smiled gently and asked in return.
"Does it matter? As long as Shen Zhiyu and Su Qingzhi are humiliated in public, their reputations are ruined, and they can't hold their heads up in the village, that's enough."
His tone was casual, yet it carried a hint of ruthlessness.
Su Qingzhi, hiding outside the window, felt a sudden sinking feeling in her heart.
She had initially thought Liu Yuelan was just selfish and stubborn, but now it seemed that this woman might not be sincere towards Fang Youming either.
"Wife, what exactly do you want?"
Fang Youming suddenly stood up, walked behind Liu Yuelan, and gently put his arm around her waist from behind.
Sure enough, this tactic was extremely effective against Liu Yuelan.
She had been somewhat wary, but she instantly let down her guard, her body went limp, and she leaned into Fang Youming's arms.
"Youming".
She spoke softly.
"I want to get rid of them and pin everything on Su Qingzhi. I really hate Su Qingzhi, I absolutely despise her! Will you help me?"
In her mind, Fang Youming always did whatever she said.
He would make sure that anyone who dared to lay a finger on her was utterly destroyed.
Therefore, whether it's the troublesome Zhu Xiuqin or the one who always overshadows her, he probably won't be soft-hearted.
Su Qingzhi held her breath, pressed herself tightly against the wall, and dared not make the slightest movement.
She had to hear Fang Youming's next response clearly.
This not only concerns her own safety, but may also implicate Shen Zhiyu and Zhu Xiuqin.
The next second, a soft laugh came from inside the room.
"Sure."
Fang Youming spoke slowly and gently.
"I'll do anything you want to do."
A smile bloomed on Liu Yuelan's face, her eyes sparkling with ecstasy and triumph.
She turned around abruptly and hugged Fang Youming's neck tightly with both hands.
"Youming, I want to have your babies, a whole bunch of babies!"
Su Qingzhi, who was listening outside the window, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Is this woman treating having a child as a way of repaying a favor?
It's so absurd it's hard to understand.
Does she see childbirth merely as a way to repay a debt of gratitude, or even as a transaction?
This idea is far too cold-hearted and too distorted.
It's as if the child isn't a living being, but rather an account that can be settled.
Immediately afterwards, an unusual noise came from inside. Su Qingzhi quickly retreated to the corner of the wall and nimbly climbed out of the yard.
He kept muttering to himself as he flipped through the pages.
"Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't listen to what you shouldn't hear."
This is a phrase she often heard from the elderly when she was young, and it is also an instinct she developed in her special environment.
Knowing too much is not necessarily a blessing; it may even bring disaster.
Shen Zhiyu remained outside the wall, his eyes fixed on every movement inside the courtyard.
When he saw her figure flash down, he quickly reached out and supported her waist, gently setting her down.
"Qingzhi, how is it? Are they inside?"
He asked in a low voice.
Su Qingzhi nodded.
"They're all there. Liu Yuelan asked Fang Youming to kill Zhu Xiuqin, and he even agreed."
She said this with her brows furrowed and her tone filled with disbelief.
Shen Zhiyu was not surprised.
He had long seen through Fang Youming's facade of kindness but inner treachery.
He pretends to be honest and law-abiding in public, but he is ruthless and cruel in private.
He harbored resentment towards Zhu Xiuqin, and was just waiting for an opportunity.
Now that Liu Yuelan has spoken up personally, it's like giving him a knife. How could he not take action?
"They probably won't make a move tonight. I'll have Changxi keep an eye on that mother and daughter tomorrow morning."
Shen Zhiyu analyzed the situation calmly.
He knew that such a thing wouldn't be done hastily at night; they would have to wait until dawn to find an opportunity to strike.
Chang Xi was someone he trusted, so sending him to keep watch was the most appropriate thing to do.
Su Qingzhi shook her head.
"It's too conspicuous. I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning to give Zhu Xiuqin a heads-up."
She didn't want to leave this matter to someone else.
Although Chang Xi is reliable, if he is discovered, it will alert the enemy.
