Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Mianmian's indifferent face, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Thinking back, when he had come to the Marquis' Mansion to see Jiang Mianmian before, although she was not very friendly, she would at least say a few polite words to him when she saw him.
It was not like now, when he felt that Jiang Mianmian clearly showed disgust after seeing him and his wife.
But it seemed like they hadn't done anything to offend her, right? Why would she look like she didn't welcome them?
Not only that, she was now holding her niece tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid of being seen by them. Her behavior made him feel extremely confused!
He wanted to signal his sister with his eyes and ask her mother-in-law what was going on.
But his sister seemed not to receive his signal, and ignored his doubts at all, talking to her brother-in-law on her own.
[Hehe... I really didn't realize it! My daughter-in-law's younger brother is such an irresponsible scumbag. He's already married and has a family, but deep down he still misses his childhood sweetheart all day long.]
No wonder his wife has changed so much, yet he's completely oblivious to it, even foolishly content. He feels like being with his beloved childhood sweetheart is like being with her. Oh my! He's simply disgusting...
Jiang Mianmian only glanced at it lightly and immediately noticed the difference in Ji Wanru's body - in her body, she saw two different souls.
One of the soul bodies looked like a lotus, although it looked very fragile.
But somehow, whenever Jiang Mianmian saw this look, she would feel disgusted and displeased involuntarily. Maybe it was just the eye contact!
Oh! To be honest, that Ji Wanru is really too pitiful! But when she took a closer look, her current situation was different from when her daughter-in-law was possessed.
At this moment, Ji Wanru saw that her whole body was almost tightly bound by the white thread into a fat silkworm cocoon, with only a small head sticking out.
However, this level of binding is a world of difference compared to the thin white threads that entangled the daughter-in-law at the time!
Jiang Mianmian looked at Ji Wanru's weak soul and saw that her eyes were empty and lifeless, without a trace of life at all, as if her reaction had been shattered.
Her exhausted and nearly collapsed soul made her look like a lifeless zombie, just staying in her body, silently waiting for death.
[Oh, she... is really too pitiful! ]
Jiang Mianmian secretly sighed for her in her heart, and turned to look at Li Xingzhou. When she saw his face, disgust suddenly appeared in her eyes.
[Humph! As expected, there aren't many good men in this world. When the food in the bowl is bland, they crave the food in the pot. Since you didn't even have the slightest interest in her, why did you insist on marrying her in the first place? If you're capable, go marry your childhood sweetheart! ...]
[He can't get it and yet he can't forget it. What a joke! He even uses a stand-in to ruin a woman's life. What an unlucky bastard.]
[Otherwise, how could poor Ji Wanru possibly have endured such inhumane suffering and hardship in her life...]
Jiang Mianmian was filled with rage, and kept cursing Li Xingzhou in her heart, but she also sighed in her heart:
[Hey, I don't know if my last method worked.]
Grandma Li Tingxue, who was sitting nearby, had her eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. She was so excited that she could hardly contain her joy. She wanted to jump off her chair and run to her mother-in-law to cheer her on.
So, she shouted in her heart: "Mother, you can do it, come on, come on... Your daughter-in-law is rooting for you!"
Chen Xiuyan, who was next to Li Tingxue, immediately noticed that his wife was a little too excited. Seeing that she was about to lose her composure, he quickly reached out and tugged at the back of her clothes to remind her to pay attention.
Chen Xiuyan made a silencing gesture towards Li Tingxue and whispered in her ear:
"Be careful, your 'sister-in-law' is here. Don't let her notice our actions and disrupt her mother's efforts to save people."
After being reminded by Shen Xiuyan, Li Tingxue realized that her behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.
She quickly calmed her inner thoughts, nodded gently, then quickly sat up straight again, trying to make herself look more dignified.
Despite this, her eyes still drifted towards her mother-in-law from time to time, her eyes full of encouragement and support.
At the same time, Li Xingzhou suddenly recalled that when he went out to the Marquis' Mansion today, his parents called him over and warned him in a serious and stern tone.
He said that his sister's mother-in-law was suffering from an extremely rare and strange disease. When they entered the Marquis' Mansion, no matter what he heard or saw, they must not show their emotions or reactions too obviously in front of his sister's mother-in-law.
Not only that, his parents also told him that if he encountered any emergency or unsolvable problems, he must not make a fuss in the Marquis' Mansion, but should go home quickly to discuss solutions with them.
At that time, he asked suspiciously, "Mother, could it be that Madam Hou is seriously ill? But why have we never heard my sister mention this?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his mother glared at him fiercely and scolded him, "Stop talking too much! What are you asking? Don't ask about things you shouldn't know.
You just need to listen to what we say, and don't say any other useless nonsense, understand?"
Faced with his parents' repeated warnings and instructions, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless: "Okay, Dad and Mom, I know everything. I'm an adult now, not a child anymore, so I naturally know how to handle things properly!
Besides, I went to the Marquis' Mansion only to visit my sister, not to visit her mother-in-law. What on earth are you worried about? "
Li's father and mother complained silently: If you had made a special trip to visit your sister's mother-in-law, we wouldn't have let you go!
This time when we visited your sister and came across your sister's mother-in-law's house, we didn't know what we would find out, so they gave us special instructions.
Otherwise, they would not have agreed immediately when their son said he wanted to take his "daughter-in-law" with him, and they even wanted to send them there in person.
After sitting in the carriage, Li Xingzhou explained something to his wife "Ji Wanru" because he was afraid that she didn't know the situation and might say something bad in front of her sister and mother-in-law, which would be embarrassing.
