The next day, after washing up, Nan Zhi met Nan Wan.
Nan Wan walked up to her with teary eyes, still trying to get to her.
"Sister, it seems like no one in the household or my brother-in-law welcomes me. I'm worried about my parents, so I'd better go back and take care of them."
Nanzhi tried to persuade her to stay: "Second sister, you don't need to go back. Your brother-in-law has already sent someone to pick up our parents. They will arrive soon, and you will have plenty of time to take care of them then."
Nan Wan's expression changed: "Sister, you can't accept it! Brother-in-law hates them so much, what if he hurts them?"
"Second sister, why are you so agitated?"
Nanzhi raised her eyelashes and looked at her with some confusion.
Nan Wan felt guilty and dared not meet her gaze: "When my brother-in-law was in the Nan family, my parents didn't treat him very well..."
"Your brother-in-law has already forgiven them."
"But……"
"But what?" Nanzhi slowly curved her lips into a smile. "But you treat your parents very badly, and you're afraid that if they come, they'll expose you, right?"
Nan Wan was stunned.
Nan Zhi sipped her tea casually: "Nan Wan, in the years I faked my death, you gained nothing and lost a lot, so you stopped pretending with your parents, right?"
Nan Wan was agitated and initially tried to explain in a flustered manner, but seeing the insightful look in Nan Zhi's eyes, she suddenly gave a cold laugh: "You know everything?"
"Yes, I guessed it. Nan Wan, you really disappoint me."
"Yes, all my previous gentleness and kindness were an act, but how much better are you, Nanzhi?"
Nan Wan screamed wildly.
"That bitch Shen Huaixu is blind too. You lie to him and bully him like this, and he still likes you. He's a complete idiot!"
Nan Wan's expression became more and more distorted as she spoke.
Nan Zhi laughed leisurely: "My dear sister, you look really ugly. You don't look like the number one beauty in Cangwu County at all."
Nanzhi stood up and walked towards her step by step.
Nan Zhi's aura was too powerful, and Nan Wan was momentarily intimidated, choking back the curse words she was about to utter.
"You really think I don't know the stupid things you've done?"
Nan Zhi pinched her chin, her smile slightly cold: "At first I did think you were kind, but gradually I discovered that you are scheming and unpredictable."
“Your brother-in-law and I went to pay our respects to our parents. You deliberately waited until we arrived before pleading with them to win your brother-in-law’s favor so that I would get angry.”
“Back then, you looked down on all those noble young men who came to propose marriage to you, and deliberately had your maid Ruyi bring them to the gate of my courtyard so that they could barge in and insult me.”
"Li Shaoqin wanted to kill you, and you used your father as a shield. Later, you killed Li Shaoqin with an embroidery needle. Do you really think I didn't know?"
"You came to Qingzhou this time because you wanted to become the city lord's wife. You don't care about your parents' lives at all. I asked you to take care of Nanfeng, and you still wanted to hurt him. Am I right?"
With each word Nan Zhi spoke, Nan Wan took a step back in fear.
In the end, she could no longer maintain the expression on her face.
How did you know that?
"I can know anything I want."
Nanzhi pressed down on her body, which was trembling slightly with excitement.
“Good sister, Li Shaoqin is not a good person. He deserved to die, which is why I won’t expose you.”
"If you behave well as my maid from now on, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you dare to cause trouble again, I won't hesitate to send you to see Li Shaoqin and Lin Ancheng."
As the last sentence fell, Nan Zhi's smile turned sinister, and the ferocity in her eyes was strikingly similar to that of Shen Huaixu.
After all, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people.
Nan Wan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
She realized that she had never really understood this older sister.
Shen Huaixu sent someone to Yangjia Village to bring Nan Yao and Madam Nan to the City Lord's Mansion.
When Nan Yao and Madam Nan saw that Nan Zhi was still alive, they were both surprised and delighted. The two elderly people wept as they expressed their longing and apologies to her.
They harbored resentment towards Nam Gyi for faking her death.
But looking at the vibrant Nanzhi and hearing her apology, coupled with Nanwan's excessive behavior over the past few years, how could they bear to blame the gentle and virtuous Nanzhi now?
Seeing her three well-behaved and adorable grandchildren, her heart melted instantly.
Shen Zhiyi and Shen Rumeng, the two little girls, grabbed Nan Yao's clothes and stood on tiptoe to grab his beard: "Grandpa, why is your beard so long? Can we cut it off and play with it?"
Nan Yao couldn't stop smiling at the child's innocent remarks.
"My two little darlings, let Grandpa hold you for a bit."
Nan Yao picked up the two little ones, one in each arm.
Madam Nan watched with envy, wondering why she didn't have any grandsons to cling to.
Are you my grandmother?
Suddenly, a small, glutinous rice ball tugged at her clothes, its fox-like eyes, just like Nan Zhi's, staring at her with suspicion.
Madam Nan smiled and said, "Yes, I am your grandmother, and you are Nanfeng, right?"
Nanfeng nodded, blinking at her. "Grandma, you're so beautiful! You're as young and beautiful as Mom. I thought you were some older sister from somewhere, so I didn't dare call you Grandma."
The little guy is so young yet he already knows how to talk and make people happy. Madam Nan couldn't hide her smile because of him.
She picked him up and kissed his little face.
It's soft and fluffy.
It reminded her of Nanzhi's childhood.
She was just as adorable back then, and Madam Nan wanted to kiss her every day.
But then, how did things change?
Madam Nan vaguely recalled that it seemed to be because of Nan Wan.
Nan Wan always took Nan Zhi to meet many, many people, and every time Nan Zhi came back, her eyes were red and she was very unhappy.
At the time, she thought Nan Zhi was being ridiculed by outsiders, but now she realizes that it was all Nan Wan's doing.
She did it on purpose.
She sighed, glanced at Nan Wan who was huddled in the corner, too afraid to come out and see them, and the last bit of reluctance in her heart completely disappeared.
Nan Wan hid around the corner, casting pitiful and helpless glances at Madam Nan several times.
Madam Nan had previously tried to plead for her several times, but now, for some reason, she no longer looked at her.
Nan Wan found their harmonious scene jarring.
She stomped her foot angrily.
An angry shout came from behind: "You little brat, what are you doing hiding here slacking off? Get up and sweep the floor!"
Nan Wan was called away.
Nanzhi nestled in Shen Huaixu's arms, watching the three children make the two elderly people beam with joy, and couldn't help but smile too.
Until Shen Huaixu suddenly said coldly, "Did Nanfeng inherit this from you?"
Nanzhi let out a puzzled "Ah".
"So good at lying at such a young age."
Nan Zhi looked at Nan Feng and, realizing what was going on, couldn't help but chuckle: "No way, he clearly inherited your high EQ."
Even though he knew she was just trying to coax him, Shen Huaixu still happily hummed in agreement.
The two elderly people had been living a very difficult life these past few years. Nanzhi was worried that they would be too tired from carrying the child, so she was about to go over and take the child away when Shen Huaixu suddenly felt nauseous.
"What's wrong?"
