Chapter 577 It turns out he always knew.
Zhou Feng continued to explain: "When this woman saw that I was going to send her away, she ran to Yan'er to complain, saying that her sister-in-law was fierce and that she would have no way to survive if she went back to her hometown. Sending her away was to force her to her death."
"Yan'er was kind-hearted and didn't want to be too harsh, so she introduced her to Lord Zheng's family as a cook. Later, Madam Han discovered that she was a good cook, so she kept her in her own residence."
Zhou Ruiyuan was somewhat surprised, "Stay at the Han residence? Would your second sister-in-law be willing?"
Zhou Feng shook his head. "Of course I don't want to, but Yan'er and I usually live at the Zhou family home and rarely go to the Han family home, so we don't have many opportunities to meet. However, Yan'er is going back to her parents' home to rest during her pregnancy these two months, so she will stay for a longer period of time."
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes darkened; he had probably guessed about 80-90% of what was going on.
Zhou Feng looked up in surprise and asked, "Brother, you don't suspect that she murdered Yan'er?"
Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and sat back down some distance away, lifting the hem of his robe with a confident air. "A cook came to the young master's courtyard in person to deliver a message, dressed in a peach-colored dress, with a bright red hairpin in her hair, and walking with small steps. Do you dare say she didn't have other intentions?"
After listening to this, Zhou Feng thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
These past few days, he had been so focused on Han Yan'er that he hadn't noticed anything unusual about the second sister of the He family.
Zhou Ruiyuan added, "If you want to know if it's her, you can try."
Zhou Feng asked, "How do we test it?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied solemnly, "That person administered ten times the abortion pills, intending to kill my second sister-in-law and her unborn child. This time, Doctor Xu saved her life, which was probably beyond her expectations. She will not let this go."
Zhou Feng's eyes darkened slightly. "If she dares to make another move, I will definitely kill her with one sword."
Zhou Ruiyuan patted her shoulder, "Although this woman is ruthless, she is not stupid. She did the drugging once, so naturally she won't do it a second time."
After he finished speaking, he leaned close to Zhou Feng's ear and whispered a few words.
Zhou Feng's eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance, brother. I'll go and give it a try right away."
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly.
In the past, he rarely got involved in matters concerning women in the inner quarters, but he really didn't want Du Wanchun to worry too much, so he did his best to help solve any problems he could.
After listening to Zhou Ruiyuan's instructions, Zhou Feng turned to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly said, "Brother, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not."
Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his eyes and picked up the tea that had gone cold. "Go on," he said.
Zhou Feng glanced outside, and seeing no one was around, lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, she..."
Zhou Ruiyuan paused, his hand holding the teacup still. "What happened to Wanchun?"
Zhou Feng stammered, caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to express himself.
Zhou Ruiyuan looked up at her, his expression dignified: "Speak frankly."
Zhou Feng steeled his heart, calmed down, and said meaningfully, "My sister-in-law is different from me."
Zhou Ruiyuan stared at him blankly, then suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, she is indeed different. Your sister-in-law is warm, virtuous, smart and generous. Of course, she is different from ordinary people."
Zhou Feng looked at him in surprise, "Big brother, that's not what I meant. I meant..."
Zhou Ruiyuan interrupted him, "That's not what I meant. What did you mean? Second brother, how does your sister-in-law treat you?"
Zhou Feng quickly replied, "You treat me like your own younger brother."
Zhou Ruiyuan stood up and said, "Isn't that enough? She treats you like her own brother and her second sister-in-law like her own sister. Such a good sister-in-law, even if she is different from ordinary people, what does it matter?"
Zhou Feng was suddenly startled, and the doubts that had been troubling him for the past two days instantly became clear.
That night, Han Yan'er miscarried. He was sent away by Doctor Xu, but he couldn't stop thinking about Han Yan'er. So he made an excuse and secretly came to Han Yan'er's door without Doctor Xu's knowledge. Just as he was about to go in, he saw his sister-in-law gently stroking Han Yan'er's lower abdomen.
There was a strange light emanating from his palm.
He was shocked, never expecting that his respected sister-in-law would have such abilities.
Who exactly is his sister-in-law? Is she a demon? Or a fairy? He was filled with questions and had no choice but to leave the house and hide outside the courtyard. He waited for Du Wanchun to come out before pretending to have just arrived in the courtyard.
These past few days, aside from Han Yan'er's matter, he felt a chill in his heart whenever he thought of his sister-in-law.
What if my sister-in-law really is a demon?
They had heard stories since childhood that demons were people who ate souls.
But his sister-in-law treated them very well. So what if she was a demon? He was just wondering whether he should tell his older brother about it.
As the husband of his sister-in-law, he should know this.
Zhou Ruiyuan came today specifically to help him find the person who murdered Han Yan'er. He was soft-hearted for a moment, which is why he brought up this matter.
Zhou Feng lowered his eyes, revealing a look of guilt. "Yes, elder brother is right."
Hearing his elder brother's reprimand, he realized that his brother had known about his sister-in-law's unusual behavior all along, but had only pretended not to know.
He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't raised an eyebrow at her words, and then smiled and said, "Brother, Yan'er made some candied fruit a few days ago. Once she's better, I'll go with her to the palace to express our gratitude and bring some for Sister-in-law and Mianmian."
