After that night, Sangshen and Bling's lives returned to normal.
Every day is just about relaxing, going to work, and exercising; the days pass by quickly.
Buling only gave Sangzi one suggestion; she didn't intend to worry about anything else. She was self-aware enough not to get involved in important matters if she wasn't smart enough, otherwise she might harm herself and others.
That day, Bu Ling had just finished get off work and hadn't even entered the courtyard when she heard Aunt Lan's shrill cry: "Stop!"
Bling: ? ? ?
She took two quick steps and entered the courtyard, where she immediately saw Aunt Jiang holding Wang Aijun hostage.
What the hell has happened again?
This was Bu Ling's first reaction. Her second reaction was whether their compound was in bad luck this year.
She didn't dare to attract attention, so she stood behind the screen wall and watched quietly.
Aunt Jiang held a pair of scissors, pointed them at Wang Aijun's neck, and glared at Aunt Lan with a ferocious expression:
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You talked nonsense and killed my mother! You caused my husband and children to break up and leave me homeless!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lan's face turned pale. She stammered a few words, unsure how to defend herself.
At this moment, Aunt Wu watched nervously from the side, gently advising, "Xiao Jiang, don't be impulsive! Let's talk things out!"
Hearing this, Aunt Jiang felt even more resentful: "Tell me properly! It's too late! My mother is dead, my husband has kicked me out, and my children don't recognize me anymore. You want me to talk properly? Why didn't you talk properly in the first place!"
She was emotional, her eyes were red, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. The tip of the scissors got even closer to Wang Aijun's neck.
Wang Aijun burst into tears, crying, "Waaah-waaah--Grandma, save me!"
Grandma Lan snapped out of her daze and saw the blood flowing from her grandson's neck. Her eyes widened in fury: "If you have a problem, take it out on me! Let go of my grandson!"
Aunt Jiang sneered twice: "You've ruined me so badly, and you still want to negotiate with me? Do you even deserve it?"
Aunt Zhao also patiently coaxed, "Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang, don't get agitated!"
Unmoved, Aunt Jiang continued to press the scissors closer to Wang Aijun's neck. She had nothing left and nothing to fear. She wanted revenge, revenge on the culprit who caused all of this!
It's all that bitch Blue Butterfly's fault! If she hadn't spread those lies, her mother wouldn't have died. If Blue Butterfly hadn't gone around telling everyone about her mother's past, her husband wouldn't have known! And her children wouldn't have despised her! It's all her fault!
It's all her fault! Since she took everything from me, I have to be prepared to lose everything!
Thinking of this, her eyes turned fierce, and she raised the scissors high, aiming them at Wang Aijun's neck.
Grandma Lan panicked and cried out, "No!"
"It wasn't me! It was Old Mrs. Shi! She said it!" Aunt Lan's mind was blank; all she could think of was Bu Ling's comment, 'How could it be such a coincidence?'
Yes, what a coincidence! She was just chatting idly, how did it all turn into such a big deal?
Aunt Jiang paused upon hearing this: "Grandma Shi?"
Hope shone in Aunt Lan's eyes as she nodded hurriedly, "It's her! It's her! She said that Aunt Zheng used to be someone's concubine, that's how I found out!"
"She used me, used me to spread this news. It's her, she's the culprit!" At this moment, Grandma Lan's mind was racing. She didn't care what others thought of her anymore, as long as she could save her grandson.
When Wu Yuanyuan returned to the compound, she saw Bu Ling crouching down and peeking into the yard. Puzzled, she asked, "Ling, what's wrong...?"
"Shh!" Bling gestured for her to be quiet.
Under Wu Yuanyuan's puzzled gaze, Buling pulled her to a blind spot, saying, "Don't get excited, just watch!"
Wu Yuanyuan became even more curious and peeked into the yard. She was about to gasp in shock when Bu Ling covered her mouth in time.
Wu Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide and looked at Buling. Buling whispered, "Don't make a sound, I'll let you go."
Wu Yuanyuan nodded vigorously.
Bu Ling released her and whispered the whole story in her ear. After listening, Wu Yuanyuan, still shaken, patted her chest and sighed softly, "What's wrong with our department this year? Are we cursed by the Grand Duke Jupiter?"
Buling glanced at her, deeply feeling that the saying "friends who have spent a lot of time together can always have their brainwaves in sync" was indeed true, but she didn't say anything and turned to look at the situation in the yard.
After listening to Aunt Lan's words, Aunt Jiang neither believed nor disbelieved. Seeing Aunt Lan's nervous look, she smiled gently and said, "Alright then, go and bring Grandma Shi to me. Otherwise, I'll have to use your grandson as an example!"
Aunt Lan readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Old Mrs. Shi, who was hiding next to Bu Ling's house, cursed under her breath and turned to run away.
In fact, Bu Ling guessed correctly. She was intentionally using Aunt Lan. She wanted to spread the news about Old Lady Zheng so that people's attention would be diverted from her.
But she never expected that it would later lead to Old Mrs. Zheng's death. However, what she said was true. Zheng Yuye was a concubine, so she didn't say anything wrong; she was just stating the truth!
On one side, Grandma Shi was running back, while on the other side, Aunt Lan unleashed unparalleled potential for her grandson. Her old legs moved incredibly fast, catching Grandma Shi before she even entered the door.
"Xiao Lan, let me go! This has nothing to do with me!" Old Mrs. Shi struggled.
Aunt Lan didn't care about any of that. She used all her strength to drag Old Lady Shi towards the front yard, ignoring her pleas for mercy.
They practically dragged Old Lady Shi to Aunt Jiang's feet: "Sister Jiang, I've brought the person to you, what do you think?"
