"stop!"
"What are you going to do to my wife and children! If you dare to touch them, I will not let Chu Li go!"
Qin Muyu strode away:
"Then let's see who won't let go!"
“Asshole!!”
How dare a mere major general act so rudely in front of him!
Chu Yuanchi flipped the stove and tea sets on the stone table, rushed into the house in anger, and pulled out the long sword from Lanqi's shelf.
Chu Li!
How dare you harm my son!
I want you to pay with your life!

Jiangnan City was bustling with activity. The incident of the lakeside cottage had become known to almost everyone in the city, and the people were discussing it enthusiastically:
"The Regent is truly a great and upright person!"
"Yes, thanks to him for making the decision for me..."
"My father's injustice has been resolved..."
"Look! That's not Miss Chu... Miss Xie, it's Miss Xie now!"
"Hello, Ms. Xie!"
Several aunts carrying baskets greeted Chu Li enthusiastically. At that time, Chu Li was taking care of the child.
Chu Hongyan held a bag of spicy dried fish in his left hand and a candied haws in his right hand, and said in a crisp voice:
"Uncle Nine, why do they call you Miss Xie?"
Chu Li rubbed his little head:
"Because I have nine lives, I have nine identities."
Chu Hongyan’s eyes widened.
Wow?
Looks so awesome!
"Will you die then?"
"Yes, cub. Cats have nine lives and only one heart."
In the back, Qin Muxue warmly held Yang Wan's hand and chatted with her cheerfully: "Sister Wan'er has taught Hongyan very well. When Hongyan grows up, he will definitely have a promising future."
For a mother, the words that she appreciates most are those praising her children.
Yang Wan smiled modestly and gently, but a hint of sadness between her brows revealed the bitterness in her heart.
"Painted boat!"
Chu Hongyan's voice suddenly became excited:
"So many masks! That monkey is so cute!"
Chu Li held his hand and said, "Be careful, don't fall into the water. Mu Xue, take him to play on the painted boat."
"good."
Qin Muxue came over and said, "Xiao Hongyan, come on, auntie will take you out to play."
Chu Hongyan held her hand, raised his delicate face, and called out in a naive voice:
"Sister Muxue."
Qin Muxue was slightly surprised.
"Uncle Nine and I are family, and according to seniority, we need to call each other that, but Sister Mu Xue is young and pretty, so she is not Aunt."
The maternal love in Qin Muxue's eyes was almost softening, and she wanted to hug him and kiss him twice.
Walk!
Take him out to play!
For such a cute and well-behaved child, I would be willing to buy him a whole painted boat!
Chu Li smiled as she watched the two of them board the painted boat. Their figures were hard to see in the crowd. "Sister-in-law, have you been doing well in Jiangnan over the past six months?"
Yang Wan said, "The family sits idle, and the lights are friendly."
The smile in Chu Li's eyes gradually cooled:
"If that's the case, why don't you cherish me, sister-in-law, and instead go against me?"
Yang Wan's expression changed slightly...
She knew that Chu Li came to see her not just for shopping.
She understood the grudges and entanglements between Chu Yuanchi and Chu Li.
"Xiao Jiu, did your elder brother do something to offend you? I hope you can forgive Hong Yan for his youth. I am a woman and cannot interfere in matters between men, but Yan Er is still young."
"Yan Er, he..."
Yang Wan's eyes turned red and she sobbed, "He can't live without his father..."
Chu Li turned around and looked at her weeping mother's face, her eyes were exceptionally calm:
"Sister-in-law, you know, this world is never black and white."
No matter how bright a person is, there is always a dark corner in his heart.
"And you."
"Your maternal love for Hong Yan is unquestionable, but what about your selfishness? As the eldest brother's bedmate, how could you not know that he wants to harm me? But you don't try to persuade him, and just condone him. Can you get away with it cleanly?"
Yang Wan's expression was slightly shaken:
"Xiao Jiu..."
"You are gambling. If you win, your family can return to the imperial capital, return to the royal family, and regain power. If you lose, my preference for Hong Yan will be your way out."
Chu Hongyan was still so young, but he became a part of the exploitation.
"Sister-in-law, you claim that you have never harmed me, but your acquiescence is also a form of murder."
Yang Wan looked at her calm and steady face, her hazy eyes a little blurry.
She hasn't seen Xiaojiu for more than half a year.
She has changed a lot.
When in the imperial capital, Xiaojiu liked Hongyan and often went to the eldest prince's mansion to play. The relationship between the two uncles and sister-in-law was also very good.
But after experiencing family changes and losing one's identity, even the best relationships will be strained.
Chu Li has his own life.
She also has her own family and plans.
Everything they do is for their own benefit. There is no right or wrong, only success or failure.
Now, it's better to talk it out, so that she won't be worried and miserable every day and night.
yes.
She knew that Chu Yuanchi would not let Chu Li go and would retaliate by any means necessary.
She had been acquiescing all along.
"Xiaojiu, you have matured a lot."
She said with relief, "It's good this way. The imperial capital is a place where people are eaten. If you become more calm, others will not be able to plot against you."
"What about you, sister-in-law?"
