After watching her father and father-in-law enter the study, Zhao Ziqi asked Jiang Shi in a low voice, "Mother, why is the Xu family in our house?"
Jiang sighed and said, "Your wife went back to her parents' home yesterday and made a scene about getting a divorce. Today, your father-in-law brought a bunch of your brothers-in-law and wives to demand justice."
