A flicker of panic crossed Yao Yanxin's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I am your wife, Yao Yanxin. Do you have someone else outside, which is why you keep saying I'm not your wife?"
These words made Old Master Ruan glance at Si'er, but he quickly turned away. He knew his own son well; he was a stubborn man.
Once he sets his mind on something or someone, he will stick to it to the end. He is not a fickle person. This statement is clearly a change of topic.
Instead, Old Master Ruan began to scrutinize his fourth daughter-in-law. Judging from her appearance alone, she was undoubtedly his fourth daughter-in-law.
But the feeling she gave off was very different. How so? Perhaps it was because her parents had given her so much love when she was a child.
She is a very gentle person. Talking to her is like being bathed in a spring breeze. She seems to be able to tolerate even the biggest mistakes you make.
Perhaps it was because of this personality that Si'er wanted to marry someone after only one meeting. Old Master Ruan naturally knew his wife; she was a very strong-willed person.
She is also a very impatient person, especially with her fourth son, because he is close in age to her daughter and hardly knows what maternal love is!
Because his wife's maternal love was almost entirely devoted to their youngest daughter, he fortunately left his sons to grow up in the military camp from a young age in order to train them.
The sons didn't have many opportunities to see their old wife; they were either at school or in the military camp. The fourth son had met many people with tough personalities.
It's understandable that she would be attracted to a gentle and kind person, but Si'er didn't handle it well, which caused a rift between her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
The daughter-in-law in front of him had an unclear look in her eyes; her pupils were rolling around as if she were plotting something. No wonder Si'er said she wasn't his wife.
Grandpa Ruan sighed. Even someone like him who rarely met the two could tell the difference between them. How could two people who looked so alike not be related by blood?
Grandpa Ruan sat down, his imposing aura fully unleashed: "You're definitely not Yao Yanxin. Who are you? If you don't want to suffer, tell me who you are right now!"
"Dad, I am Yao Yanxin. Why do you all say I'm not?"
"Don't treat us like fools. Even if you look alike, your personalities are different. I rarely see Yao Yanxin, but her personality is very easy to recognize."
“A person as calculating as you can’t impersonate her. If you don’t talk, I’ll have my guards torture you.”
"I'm not a criminal, you can't torture me, Brother Peng, how can you bear to see them treat me like this?"
Ruan Shengpeng didn't even turn his head: "Please don't use that face of yours to say such things. It disgusts me!"
Yao Yanxin: "......"
Grandpa Ruan looked at the woman in front of him, nodded to the guard, and the guard immediately came over and pointed at her, but it was unclear where.
Yao Yanxin immediately rolled on the ground in pain, her hair instantly soaked with sweat. The pain lasted for about half an hour before it finally stopped.
Grandpa Ruan continued, "Who exactly are you? Why do you look so much like the person you're impersonating?"
Unexpectedly, "Yao Yanxin" remained defiant, replying, "I am Yao Yanxin. Why do you insist that I say I am not me?"
These words made the Ruan father and son exchange surprised glances. This was still a tough nut to crack. Could it be an enemy agent?
Grandpa Ruan discussed it with the guard, who then went out and found two female doctors. The two female doctors helped "Yao Yanxin" out.
"Yao Yanxin" wasn't afraid at all: "The truth can't be hidden. No matter how you investigate, I am the real Yao Yanxin!"
The door closed, and Ruan Shengpeng said to Old Master Ruan, "Dad, look how ruthless your wife is. She brought in someone like this just to control my life."
Grandpa Ruan thought so too, but he always pampered his wife: "Maybe they came to us on their own?"
"You believe that? If it's an enemy spy, we'll be in big trouble!"
Fortunately, the guards quickly brought "Yao Yanxin" back and shook their heads at Grandpa Ruan. Grandpa Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no human skin mask!
But are there really people in this world who look so alike? Unless...
Grandpa Ruan suddenly spoke up: "Are you and your fourth daughter-in-law twins?"
These words did not elicit the slightest reaction from the woman in front of him. Was this really going to be difficult? Old Master Ruan tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, a habitual gesture he made when faced with a problem.
After a while, Grandpa Ruan nodded: "You said you are the fourth daughter-in-law, then you are the fourth daughter-in-law. It's just that you haven't seen my fourth son for too long, so you can stay in your old dormitory for now."
"I'm sorry for today. I used a little torture on you. I'll have my guards take you home. I'll take care of Si'er for you. Go home now!"
Yao Yanxin straightened her clothes and said to Ruan Shengpeng's back of the head, "Brother Peng, you get some rest, I'm going back now!"
After the guards left with their men, Ruan Shengpeng turned around and asked, "Dad, are you going fishing?"
"This woman is ruthless! You should know how painful it is to have your bones broken, but she can endure it, which means she has big ambitions! We should keep an eye on her and see who's behind this."
"Besides my mother and my sister, who else is plotting against me behind my back? Dad, am I really your son? Or was I not even born to my mother?" Ruan Shengpeng was starting to have some conspiracy theories!
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a soldier, and I'm absolutely loyal to my revolutionary comrades!"
"Why did Mom take my wife and children away? She didn't consider my feelings at all, and even gave my yard to Shengzhi?"
“From childhood to adulthood, I have always had to give Shengzhi whatever she wants unconditionally. But Dad’s yard is where my wife should live. Why can’t Mom accept that?”
"They deliberately threw away everything in the yard, so I couldn't find any trace of my family living there. Why? Why?"
“Yan Yan was well protected by her father since she was a child. She is very timid. Under such circumstances, she is a sweet-looking and weak woman raising two children.”
"She doesn't have a single penny on her. How is she going to live? They're so cruel! They even take away the money her parents give her."
Under Si'er's questioning, Old Master Ruan's straight back slowly bent down. He had indulged his wife, and his wife had in turn indulged Zhi'er.
"It was my fault as the head of the family," he said with difficulty. "Fourth son, I didn't see what your mother and sister were thinking. I was wrong!"
"But Dad, now is not the time to apologize. What I need is to know where my wife and children are. Can you help me?"
Under his son's expectant gaze, Old Master Ruan nodded with difficulty. He couldn't let the situation escalate any further!
Ruan Shengpeng felt a great weight lifted from his heart. His father's intervention was better than his own efforts to cast a wide net. He silently prayed in his heart: Yan Yan, wait for me, you must wait for me!
