Chapter 131: One is Cruel and the other is Vicious

Qi Shouzheng was still a little dazed when his past was suddenly revealed in this way.

It had been more than ten years since that incident, and he would only see his cousin again in his dreams at midnight.

In the dream, the cousin repeatedly asked him why he was unwilling to marry her. Did all the vows they made to each other mean nothing?

Zhang thought of her niece and her brother's family, with whom she had completely cut off all ties because of this incident, and she didn't know what to feel.

If she had known that her son would not have a son after ten years of marriage, she would not have been such a bad person.

But at this point, regret or anything else is meaningless.

Qian looked at her husband and mother-in-law in a daze. She only knew that Qi Shouzheng had a childhood sweetheart, a cousin named Zhang Da, who later died of an acute illness.

She never thought there were so many hidden secrets involved.

Thinking about the name that Qi Shouzheng would occasionally call out in his sleep over the years, as well as the many difficulties and dislikes her mother-in-law had towards her, all the things that she had never thought about in detail before now had answers.

She lowered her brows, feeling that all her anxiety and self-blame over the years were just a joke.

Lu Xinran, who had shocked everyone, was switching back and forth between Zhang's and Qi Shouzheng's booklets.

[After the cousin committed suicide, the Zhang family hated Zhang and Qi Shouzheng completely.]

[Especially Zhang's sister-in-law Wang. She thought that her daughter died tragically because of Zhang, and that it was because Zhang disliked her daughter's weak body and difficulty in giving birth that she blocked the marriage. She hated both mother and son.]

[Whenever the mother and son were around, she would curse and humiliate them in various ways. Qi Shouzheng felt guilty and allowed Wang to beat and scold him whenever he met her.]

[Also, um, curse him to have no offspring and die a miserable death.]

[Well, Qi Shouzheng has no children so far, this may be related to this Wang.]

[The only time she didn't scold Qi Shouzheng was when she poured him a bowl of tea and forced him to drink it.]

Everyone: “?!!”

Is it because of the bowl of water?

But, what would make people give birth to only daughters and not sons?

This is weird!

Zhang had come back to his senses from his complicated sighs, and then fell into confusion and doubt about life.

Qi Shou was trying hard to recall what happened when Wang asked him to drink that bowl of tea. It had been so long that he could no longer remember the details of that day. He only remembered that the bowl of water tasted a little strange, and Wang also gave her a plate of thumb-sized snacks.

Both mother and son were lost in their memories. Qian was the first of the three to come to her senses. She calmly began to think of ways to find out the details of that year.

The Zhang family and the Qi family had not had any contact for many years. Wang hated Zhang so much that she put all the blame for her daughter's death on them.

It would definitely not work to ask Zhang to send an invitation to Wang to invite her to visit the house.

Since Wang can't come to their place, they can only find a middleman.

Her mind quickly turned to Xu, the candidate. Xu Shaohua was the newly appointed Minister of Honglu Temple, and Zhang's brother was also in Honglu Temple.

I have been an official for so many years but have never been promoted.

If Xu had sent an invitation to Wang to visit her house, Wang would have probably gone there for the sake of her husband's future.

The only problem now is that she is not close to the Xu family.

Lu Xinlan's eyes were constantly searching them inconspicuously. Qian had already made up her mind before she realized what was going on, and she immediately looked directly at her.

Qian was startled at first, then something happened.

She silently said the word "Xu" to Lu Xinlan, and Lu Xinlan immediately understood and nodded slightly.

She had already learned from Lu Xinran's mumbling that the life points from eating the melon had not yet been calculated.

This matter is like solving a case. If we can find the cause, we may be able to calculate a lot of life points.

So knowing that Lu Xinran would definitely want to get to the bottom of this matter, she helped plan the next step without leaving any trace.

[I feel like the problem lies with Wang Shishen. It would be great if I could find a chance to meet Wang Shishen. I really want to know how she did it.]

[Wang was really cruel. Zhang rejected her daughter, so she made the Qi family completely extinct.]

[One and the other are both vicious and cruel. One is cruel enough to break up with her parents without any regard for her parents, and the other is vicious enough to use any means.]

[Mrs. Jiuqi is the most pitiful. She has blamed herself for so many years for being treated harshly by her mother-in-law and coldly by her husband, but she recites scriptures and worships Buddha every day and prays devoutly for the sake of this family.]

[How stupid! This kind of family, this kind of mother-in-law and husband are not worth her unconditional dedication. ]

Qi Shouzheng felt so embarrassed by the contempt he felt on his face.

He wasn't deliberately treating Qian coldly, he just... couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Qian's years of guilt and self-blame had completely dissipated at this moment.

She would still pray for a child, but no longer for the Qi family and Qi Shouzheng, but for herself, so that after Qi Shouzheng passed away, his family property would not be seized and his family would not be wiped out.

Lu Xinran was halfway through eating the melon and was very dissatisfied with this trip.

The life value has not been calculated yet!

After returning to the mansion, Lu Xintong and her sister trotted all the way and recounted the affairs of the Qi family in a clear manner before Lu Xinran and the others arrived.

"Grandma, you don't know how ugly the old lady of the Qi family looked. She was even scolded by my second sister and cried. My second sister said that she was a twisted pervert in the heart of a daughter-in-law who became a mother-in-law."

Pei burst out laughing, "Her mouth."

Chatting and laughing, Lu Xinlan finally slowly brought Lu Xinran to Zhaoyun Courtyard.

Seeing them come in, Pei smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu has sent you a letter, inviting you to visit her house in a few days."

Lu Xinlan smiled and took the invitation. Thinking of Qian's plan, she hesitated for a moment and prepared to write a letter to Xu, asking her if she was willing to help.

Zhang and Qi Shouzheng would definitely try to arrange a meeting between them and Wang.

If they want to enjoy the convenience brought by the system, they have to bear the impact of their inner voices. This matter has become known to everyone sooner or later.

Therefore, she did not even need to confirm with Mrs. Qian again. She returned to the courtyard and picked up her pen to describe in a tactful way what had happened at the Qi family that day.

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, Xu naturally would not refuse.

With the support of her brothers from her natal family and Xu Shaohua's official position, she didn't need to be jealous of the Zhang and Wang families at all.

However, she needs to deal with the shameless Sun family and the Liu family first, and then she will have the time and energy to see the hustle and bustle of the Qi family.

She scheduled the banquet in her mansion for half a month later.

The invitations were sent to the Qi family, the Zhang family, and some close families.

Lu Xinran held the invitation and kissed it happily. This is life value~
