The room was silent for a moment. Then, a black figure slowly emerged from the shadows, shrouded in a large black robe from head to toe. A strange light flashed in his eyes, fleeting and elusive.
Third Grandma's heart pounded. Since ancient times, dealing with a tiger for its skin has always resulted in either being killed without a trace or getting a sip of soup from a big shot. Even without seeking great wealth and status, one can still enjoy endless riches and honors.
Although wealth is said to not last beyond three generations, she would give her life for her son and grandson.
The man in black chuckled sinisterly: "Heh, you want to get something out of me? Is that all you've got? Isn't that enough to annoy me?"
Third Grandma knelt down with a thud, trembling: "Sir, please enlighten me..."
"Hmph!" The man in black snorted coldly and slowly began, "So it is..."
Third Grandma's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir. This time, I will definitely handle things perfectly..."
After a long while, Third Grandma cautiously raised her head, but there was no trace of the man in black.
Third Grandma patted her chest, breaking out in a cold sweat. As soon as she turned around, she met a pair of eyes full of anger. Who else could it be but Tie Zhu?
"Zhu Zi...you...how did you come back?" Third Grandma was dumbfounded. Could it be that her silly son saw her?
Tie Zhu stared coldly at Third Grandmother: "Are you sure she's my biological mother?"
He had seen greedy people, but never anyone this greedy. Could such a greedy mother really be his own mother? A seed of doubt was planted in Tie Zhu's heart.
Third Grandmother's eyes narrowed slightly, and she swayed: "Zhu Zi, how could you... doubt your mother?"
Tie Zhu felt a chill. Seeing his third mistress heartbroken, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. "Mother has gone too far! How could she so easily slander Madam Mo?"
"Pillar……"
"Mother, I'll go with you to Madam Mo's house now..." Tie Zhu said through gritted teeth, his head bowed.
"Zhu Zi, you want your mother to apologize to that bitch?" Third Grandmother's voice became sharper.
Tie Zhu's heart skipped a beat: "Mother, how...how could you say that about Madam Mo? Has she been unkind to you? Unkind to me?"
"Good?" Third Grandma sneered, "Your old mother worked like a slave for you, and what did she get in return? Just a few taels of silver."
Tie Zhu shook his head: "Mother, are you going or not? I'm giving you one last chance..."
Grandma San looked at her with disbelief, as if she were a fool: "You...get out of here!"
Tie Zhu's face was ashen, and he turned and left.
The anxious voice of Third Grandmother came from behind: "Wait..."
Tie Zhu thought his mother had suddenly realized something, and he was overjoyed and wanted to turn around, but his head exploded, his vision went black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The third grandmother trembled with fear. The man in black returned, saying, "This is the last time."
"Yes! My lord...it's all..." Before Third Madam could finish speaking, the man in black had already vanished without a trace...
The third grandmother lowered her eyes, glancing at the man on the ground. A flash of fierceness crossed her eyes. "Foolish son, don't blame your mother. This is all for your own good..."
The gossip in the village stopped abruptly. Bai Yueniang and Liu Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief; things had finally calmed down. Third Grandma was an ungrateful wretch.
Liu Cuihua, in particular, kept talking about her third grandmother's affairs when she got home that night. For some reason, she felt uneasy.
Grandma Li glared at her silly son and said, "Why aren't you going to check on your wife?"
Li Changgeng was startled and reached out to touch Liu Cuihua's forehead: "She doesn't have a fever..."
Liu Cuihua slapped Li Changgeng's arm: "Stop fooling around, I'm not at ease..."
