As Hanlin said, Wang was indeed lying in the room to rest at this time. However, she was not feeling physically uncomfortable but mentally uncomfortable. She felt guilty and nervous, and was afraid that everyone would suspect her, so she simply hid in the room.

Wang was also upset. It was not her intention to hurt her mother-in-law. She had clearly planned everything well. No one was at home at that time. If her brother just took the things and left, everyone would think that there was a thief in the house and would not guess who did it. Even if they guessed it, there was no evidence and there was nothing they could do to her brother.

Who could have known that it was such a coincidence that her mother-in-law suddenly came back at that moment. She had no time to react to the series of events that followed. Her brother even knocked her mother-in-law down in a panic. Seeing the blood flowing from her mother-in-law's forehead, she was almost scared to death and hurriedly went to call for help.

"How is mother? Is she okay? I heard that it was fourth brother who came back, right? What did he say when he found out?" Wang couldn't wait to ask when she saw Han Lin returned to the room. It's not that she really cared about Yang, but only if Yang was okay could the matter be put to rest and she would feel less guilty. After all, Yang was Han Lin's biological mother.

Han Lin didn't know his wife well yet. When he saw Wang's behavior, he became more certain that this matter had something to do with her. Otherwise, she would have been watching a show and would not have acted like this. He felt unhappy and annoyed.

"Mom is fine. The fourth brother invited a doctor from the county town and prescribed some prescriptions. He told Mom to take good care of herself. Wife, this is strange. How could the thief know so much about our family's affairs and choose that time? You were at home at the time. Did you really not hear any noise? Could this matter really be related to you as the fourth brother said?"

"Han Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? How does it have anything to do with me? The fourth brother and his wife are not good people. Just listen to his nonsense. His wife and I don't get along, so he will naturally target me." Wang tried her best to remain calm and not show anything on her face. Although she felt a little sorry for Han Lin, after all, Han Lin had always been very good to her, but she really didn't mean it and couldn't tell the truth.

"It's good that it has nothing to do with you. The fourth son's wife has also returned and proposed to report to the police and have the government catch the thief. Dad and the others agreed. I was worried that this matter had something to do with you, so I argued with them and tried to stop it. But since you said so, I don't care. It has nothing to do with us anyway, and it's the fourth son's wife who has to spend the money." Han Lin deliberately mentioned the matter of reporting to the police now, as he wanted to see Wang's reaction.

"What did you say? Are they crazy? They actually went to report to the police. They don't know what the government is. It's a place for ordinary people like us. Besides, mom is fine now and the thief didn't steal anything. Why make such a fuss?" Wang never expected that the Han family would report to the police. The thief was her own brother. The government has many tricks. It would be terrible if they found out. She would probably be thrown into jail. She became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Didn't you say that this matter has nothing to do with you? Anyway, if the government requires money for bribery, the fourth son's wife said she would give it. It's none of our business. We just have to watch." Han Lin's face was a little cold when he said this.

Wang then realized that things were going to get bad. But Yang was Han Lin's biological mother after all. If she told him the whole story, she didn't know what Han Lin would think. But if she didn't tell him and the matter was really referred to the government for help, it would be even worse. It would not be something that could be easily resolved at that time. Anyway, this matter was not going to be resolved in the right way, and Wang was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.

Han Lin could see this. Although he was angry, Wang was still pregnant with his child. "Why don't you tell me the truth? Don't think I don't know that you have been thinking about how to take the fourth son's wife's dowry because of your brother. Now that something has happened, if you don't say anything, I will really not care."

Wang had no choice but to confess this time. She even pointed at Han Lin and asked him to find a solution for her: "No, husband, I'll tell you, this matter does have something to do with me, but I really didn't expect to hurt mother. I didn't mean to do it. It was actually my brother who went to the fourth room that day. Mother came back suddenly at that time, and my brother was afraid of being caught by mother, so he accidentally knocked her down. It really wasn't intentional."

"Wang, do you still take me, your husband, seriously? It was fine that you brought your family to cause trouble last time, but she was my own mother. Fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured this time. What if something really happened? And you never think of discussing things with me. When have I ever opposed you dealing with the fourth brother and his wife? If I had known what happened today, I would have stopped my mother from coming back, and it wouldn't have developed to this point."

If it weren't for the child in Wang's belly, Han Lin would have wanted to divorce Wang. He couldn't help but think of the last time Su Wenyue said she would give him fifty taels of silver to marry him off.

"Husband, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that you would be angry, and the fourth brother is your brother after all. I don't want to make things difficult for you. Please forgive me this time." Wang looked at Han Lin with tears in her eyes, so sad.

Han Lin felt a little pity in his heart. Thinking about the past few years he had spent with Wang, they had a good relationship. Wang was gentle and considerate to him, and he also liked her a little. But in recent days, since the fourth son's wife came into the family, his wife had changed a lot. Ultimately, it was the fourth son's wife's fault.

"Alright, stop crying. What if you hurt the baby in your belly? We have waited so long for our precious son, so we can't let anything go wrong. As for this matter, I will think about it again and see if I can come up with a solution. If not, we can only tell the truth. Fortunately, mom is fine now. You are pregnant. Ask for mercy from everyone and apologize to the fourth son's wife. Maybe the matter can be resolved. We can't let them report to the police and wait for the constables to come to our house to investigate. That would be troublesome."

"But, but I have done a lot of wrong things before. If everyone knew that this matter was related to me, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to forgive." Wang knew in her heart that she had done a lot of things that were sorry to the Han family. If she was forgiven once or twice, how could she forgive a third time? What's more, Yang was injured. That was her mother-in-law. If people knew about it, she would be stabbed in the back.

"This is the only way at the moment. Otherwise, when the fourth brother and his men report the matter to the authorities, we won't be able to hide it. By then, it won't just be a matter of the Han family. You and your brother might be arrested by the government. Fortunately, you are pregnant, and your parents won't make things difficult for you for the sake of the child."
