Feng Jie's job was to cook three meals a day and clean the house. She could go home after finishing her work at noon, and all she had to do was come over and cook dinner before dinner in the evening.
But she still remembered Su Yi's instructions and locked the door from the outside when she left.
Qin Xiangxiang stood barefoot in the living room, her hair disheveled, listening to the click of the lock closing, a flash of crimson in her eyes.
She turned back, carefully combed her hair, and put on the orange-red suit jacket and black leather shoes that she had bought with Su Meifang at the department store before the New Year.
I dug out my cosmetics that I hadn't used in a long time, applied powder to my face, drew my eyebrows, and carefully applied rouge.
The woman in the mirror was withered, her face deathly pale, and one of her eyes was sunken in, making her look sinister and terrifying.
Sister Feng let it slip last month: today is the wedding day of the eldest grandson of the Su family. How could she be absent from such a wonderful day?
After tidying up, she smiled at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror also smiled eerily, no longer possessing the dignified and noble air of the division commander's wife. Instead, she looked like a vengeful ghost returning from the underworld to claim lives.
Carrying a stool on her back, Qin Xiangxiang climbed out of the window, and even brought an umbrella.
The sun was quite strong at noon, so the people in the residential compound didn't find it strange.
After leaving the residential compound, Qin Xiangxiang boarded the shuttle bus and headed towards the house she and Su Chang'an had previously rented.
The house had been rented for six months and the lease hadn't expired yet. When I entered, the house was exactly the same as when Su Chang'an was there, except that there was a thin layer of dust on the table and counter, indicating that no one had been there in the meantime.
After sitting in the room for less than ten minutes, Qin Xiangxiang got up and left; she had to go to Liuhuai Lane.
Su Yi prepared a gift for Su Jindong and his wife based on Su Qingci's style, but the red envelope was thicker. Li Yueniang hadn't gone to get rid of her oil during this time, so he had saved up some money and gave the couple a red envelope containing 299 yuan.
At this time, even blood relatives would only give three or five yuan when attending a wedding banquet, so 299 yuan was considered a very generous gift.
Guo Wenjing held the thick red envelope and kept turning her head to look at Li Yueniang.
Li Yueniang waved her hand and said, "Your grandfather gave it to you, so just take it and thank him."
Guo Xiaomao also nudged her lower back, saying, "Kid, there's no need to be so polite among family."
Guo Wenjing moved closer to Su Jindong and shyly said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Good, good boy. Live a good life with Jin Dong from now on."
As he spoke, Su Yi turned to Su Jindong and instructed him, "Treat that girl well in the future. Don't bully her, understand? Otherwise, don't blame Grandpa for not showing you any mercy."
Su Jindong grinned, "I know, Grandpa. I'll definitely treat Wenjing well, hehe, and give you a chubby great-grandson next year."
The audience burst into laughter. Guo Wenjing blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this and punched Su Jindong with her fist.
Guo Xiaomao quickly stepped forward and said, "Jin Dong is right. This is also what your Grandma Li and I want. While your Grandma Li and I are still able to move, we will look after the child for you. You can go to work and do whatever you want as usual."
Song Jingzhou stood at the back of the crowd, hooked his long arm around Su Qingci, and pulled her into his arms.
“Qingci, look, my brother-in-law says he’s going to have a baby. We got married earlier than them, we can’t let them beat us to it.”
The scalding heat blew behind Su Qingci's ear, making her shiver. She lowered her head and slipped out of the other person's arm.
Knowing Song Jingzhou as she did, she knew that if she hugged him any longer, he would start to stand up straight again.
She rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Let them go first. I'm still a child myself. Why should I have children? I'll think about it in a few years."
The room was bustling with activity, filled with laughter from time to time. Every laugh from inside felt like a knife, cutting into Qin Xiangxiang's heart.
Why is she Su Yi's rightful wife? Why is their family so happy and harmonious?
Of her three children, one never even had a chance to be born, one died young, and the other is missing and has a wanted criminal name.
Qin Xiangxiang reached out and ran her hand over her waist, a vicious glint in her eyes.
If she's not having a good time, then Old Lady Li and her family won't have one either.
"Oh, everyone's here?"
The noise abruptly stopped, and everyone turned to look at the woman at the door, their expressions varying.
The smiles on Li Yueniang's face, along with those of Su Qingci, Su Jingdong, Xu Weihua, and others, slowly faded, replaced by wariness in their eyes.
Su Changzhi's family was a little confused; they didn't recognize the people in front of them.
Guo Xiaomao looked at Su Jindong with a questioning gaze, and seeing his expression, the smile on his face faded.
Su Yi stood up and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
Qin Xiangxiang chuckled twice, "I'm a proper elder of the bride and groom, so why weren't you invited to such a wonderful day?"
"Su Yi, that's not very nice of you. I've watched Jin Dong grow up, and he should call me Grandma!"
"Hey, this must be Changzhi? It's been so many years, I hope you're doing well."
As she spoke, Qin Xiangxiang's gaze swept over Si Gui and his siblings. "These are all your children, right? Oh my, they're all so good-looking, and you have both sons and daughters. It's truly enviable."
"Good child, what's your name? I'm your Grandma Qin, come on, call me Grandma."
Sixiang and Sijia were still young, and although they were a little scared of the grandmother in front of them, their families had taught them to be polite since they were little, so they looked up and sweetly greeted her, "Hello, Grandma Qin."
"Oh my, how sweet! Sister Li is so lucky; look at her, she has so many children and grandchildren..."
Hearing Qin Xiangxiang's sarcastic voice, Su Yi nervously turned to look at Li Yueniang, afraid that she would be angry and stop letting him come to see his grandson.
"Qin Xiangxiang, what's wrong with you now? Today is a great day for Jin Dong, so just give me a break."
"Xiao Liu, take her home."
Qin Xiangxiang's face was cold. "What? Are you looking down on me?"
"You think I'm embarrassing you?"
Qin Xiangxiang's voice suddenly turned shrill, "Why didn't you look down on me before? You've ruined my Chang'an and Meifang, and now you're looking down on me?"
"I haven't even been gone from Chang'an for half a year, and you're already holding a grand banquet here, with lots of fish and meat, eating and drinking?"
Qin Xiangxiang pointed to the large red "double happiness" character and red silk on the wall, "You've made it all so festive, Su Yi, how can you eat this? Don't you have a heart?"
"Chang'an was your own son! He's gone, and you, as his father, are here celebrating your eldest grandson's wedding?"
“I, Meifang, have suffered and endured hardship outside. I, Chang’an, am gone. Why are you all so happy? What right do you have?”
“You killed him, you ruined my Chang’an and Meifang.”
