"My lord, I have good news to tell you." Shen Yunsheng excitedly ran up to Xiao Jingchuan.
Xiao Jingchuan put down the axe in his hand and looked at her with a smile, "What good news? You seem so happy."
Shen Yunsheng took a breath and said, "Li Tianci may be breaking off the engagement, and I've also heard that he's been inquiring about me lately."
Xiao Jingchuan frowned. "Why is he asking about you? Does he have some ulterior motive?"
Shen Yunsheng shook his head. "I don't know either, but Sister Xu told me to be careful. But it's okay, I have my own way of dealing with it."
Xiao Jingchuan grasped Shen Yunsheng's hand. "No matter what, you must be careful. If anything happens, you must tell me."
Shen Yunsheng nodded. "Don't worry, husband. I can handle it. By the way, I asked Sister Xu to spread the news in the village that Dad isn't his biological son. It should be spread by now."
Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "You're quite resourceful. But this is good too. Let that old woman experience what it's like to be talked about. It would be best if she just slipped up on her own."
Shen Yunsheng smiled smugly, "I even spent five taels of silver to deal with that old poisonous woman."

Xiao Jingchuan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Madam Luo came out of the house.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunsheng's face showed a hint of helplessness and annoyance. She muttered to herself, "Why is my mother-in-law going back to her parents' home to be tormented again?"
Logically speaking, given the seriousness of her husband's situation, her maternal uncle, as her mother-in-law's family member, should at least have come to visit. However, they didn't even show their faces, nor did they offer a single word of greeting. And now, her mother-in-law is actually going to visit them on her own initiative—it's simply asking for trouble.
Xiao Jingchuan didn't want to go either, but when he saw his mother looking at him expectantly, he couldn't bear to refuse.
