It was not until he got on the boat with his servants that Kang Ningxia could not help but beat his chest. According to his original arrangement, he only intended to send the crazy woman to the ferry, and let his servants take care of other things. But it was his fault for bragging in front of the villagers, so he had to get on the boat under the gaze of the villagers.
Kang Ningxia thought that it would take him at least half an hour to go to Fengyun Town and then return to Guangming Village. It was almost dark at this time. What if Shu Jiaying had cooked dinner and ate it alone when he came back from Fengyun Town?
Alas... after all, I have to blame myself for being so mean. I should have known better and not spoken out.
After finally arriving at Fengyun Town, Kang Ningxia once again instructed his servants to send the crazy woman to the yamen, and then he hurriedly boarded the boat back to Guangming Village.
On the boat, Kang Ningxia met Old Man Shu, his youngest son, and his eldest daughter-in-law.
Because Shu Zhenmeng had asked him to rescue Old Man Shu and Shu Guozhong before, Kang Ningxia had some impression of these two people.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Kang Ningxia moved a few positions closer to the three of them.
At this time, he heard Old Man Shu ask, "Qifeng, is everything okay at home these days while your brother and I are away?"
Xiao Qifeng originally wanted to complain about Shu Guozhong's infidelity to her, but remembering Ke's warning to her, she swallowed the grievance in her heart.
Xiao Qifeng talked about another thing.
"That's good, but something strange happened at home recently."
"Strange? What strange thing happened?"
"Dad...it turns out Zhenmeng isn't your and Mom's biological daughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hearing this, the old man Shu was so angry that he almost stood up. Fortunately, Shu Guoyi quickly grabbed him.
Shu Guoyi said impatiently, "That's just the old man's personality. The sister-in-law hasn't even finished talking yet, and you're getting angry. Can't you wait until she finishes?"
"Oh, you unfilial son."
"Sit down first. You're shouting so loudly. Everyone on the boat is looking at us. I still have shame even if you don't want it."
The old man was so angry at the righteousness of the Shu Kingdom that he blew his beard. After a long breath, he asked, "Qifeng, Qifeng, what kind of questions are you asking? I'm really starting to understand why your mother-in-law is increasingly dissatisfied with you."
Knowing that Old Man Shu was angry, Xiao Qifeng also became a little anxious. She explained, "Dad, I didn't make this up. A few days ago, a general came to my house looking for a woman named Susu. Later, the general said that Zhenmeng was his daughter, and mother also acknowledged the relationship between Zhenmeng and the general."
"I think that old woman must have gone crazy. Wait... who was the person you just mentioned who mistook our Zhenmeng for his daughter?"
Xiao Qifeng thought that Old Man Shu didn't hear her clearly, so she repeated, "It's a general. I think his surname is Zhuang. Yes... General Zhuang."
"What?"
The word "General Zhuang" made the old man Shu's expression suddenly change. He sat upright in a daze, his body motionless, his expressionless face revealing nothing he was thinking.
Xiao Qifeng and Shu Guoyi thought that Old Man Shu was angry and did not dare to add fuel to the fire. They sat quietly aside without saying a word.
The old man Shu who was sitting between the two of them stared at the river surface, his whole thoughts following the ripples on the water and entering into memories of the past.
