Unfortunately, Zhu Fanfan had only been there a short time when there was no sound from inside. The door opened, and Xue Zhaodi seemed to be startled and cried out.
Luo Xing's voice came from inside: "You brat, what are you yelling about? Your grandma isn't dead yet! I don't know who you took after, you're as timid as a rat dropping, and you're still shouting so loudly, you want to die!"
Fu Jing's voice immediately came: "Grandma, are you talking about Zhao Di or me? So what if you're timid? Can't you even say a few words when you're being bullied?"
This is her mother-in-law's doing! She may be timid, but she's determined to defend her dignity. Xue Fu dared to cheat on her, so what if she cursed him a few times? She hasn't even laid a hand on him yet! Once she finds out who the vixen is, she'll not only shout but also make a huge scene, to see who's shameless.
Then Xue Fu said in a humble tone, "Xiao Jing, Mom is an elder and didn't mean anything by it. Don't take it to heart. I apologize on Mom's behalf. If you're still angry, hit me a few times to calm down. Mom has a concussion and loud noises will give her a headache. If you want to scold me, go ahead! I'll accept the punishment."
She didn't know what the people inside were thinking, but outside, everyone started pointing fingers and criticizing Fu Jing for disrespecting her elders. She had only said a few words before scolding them, and was considered unfilial. People wondered whose daughter she was and how she could be so ill-mannered.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Jing asked Xue Zhaodi, "What's going on outside?"
Xue Zhaodi said woodenly, "There are many people outside saying that you scolded your elders."
If her older sister hadn't been so unpretentious in front of her, she would have honestly thought her older sister was just like any other daughter from an ordinary family—honest and dull. Putting aside her expression and voice, her eyes were just as lifeless as a puppet.
Fu Jing immediately exploded: "Your elders don't act like elders at all. What respect do I have for them? Your father has an illegitimate child outside, and your grandmother knew from the beginning but kept it from me. Do you think I'm stupid? Do you expect me to treat her like a goddess? You're a bunch of people who just want to make a scene. Tell them to leave now, or I'll call the police. Let's see who hasn't made a mistake. If I find out, I'll sit in front of their house every day and start cursing them."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Is she having memory problems? Fu Jing wasn't like this five years ago.
Xue Zhaodi said to the people outside the door, "Did you hear what my mother said? Hurry up and leave. My mother always keeps her word. If you don't leave, she really will call the police."
The people outside left, grumbling and cursing. They knew the man was in the wrong for saying those words; he had just been too talkative. If they were taken in for questioning because of those words, they would lose face. To show they weren't afraid, they could only vent their anger by cursing and cursing, their bodies behaving honestly as they walked away.
When no one came, Xue Zhaodi saw Zhu Fanfan behind her, her face full of helplessness. Her younger sister liked to see jokes, especially those from the Xue family, but now was not a good time to see them.
Zhu Fanfan skipped in, giving the people inside an embarrassed smile: "I just came to watch the fun, don't mind me, pretend I don't exist, you guys keep making a fuss."
To everyone's surprise, the people inside became quiet after seeing her. Xue Fu had finally recovered from his concussion and dared not provoke her. Luo Xing was reminded of the day she was beaten when she saw Zhu Fanfan. Her son had also said that the family that adopted Zhu Fanfan was not simple and that she would be retaliated against if she did not report it to the police. She was terrified.
Fu Jing was truly terrified. She knew that Zhu Fanfan had beaten Xue Fu and her mother-in-law. She knew that Zhu Fanfan would physically assault or verbally abuse anyone she disliked, and she was afraid that Zhu Fanfan would hit someone again.
Inside the house were the two Ding brothers, who were still terrified by what had just happened. They were huddled together, trembling. Was Widow Xin about to force the emperor to abdicate?
Xue Fu then asked, "Zhu Fanfan, what exactly do you want? I promise I won't use your identity against you, and I won't tell anyone that I'm your biological father. What will it take for you to let my family go?"
Zhu Fanfan understood; this person felt she was the one who did it and wanted to pin the blame on her! Seeing the older woman's expression, Zhu Fanfan realized that it was the older woman who did it, and she praised her older woman in her heart for doing a good job.
He replied nonchalantly, "Wait until your whole family who did bad things are all dead!"
The people who harmed her were Luo Xing, Xue Fu, and Fu Jing. Originally, she wanted to kill them to get revenge, even if it meant incurring karmic consequences and going to hell in the future. She wanted to resolve this issue in this life, not seek revenge in the next. She was afraid of dying from resentment.
But she had promised her grandfather to spare their lives, so she could only watch them live with regret, but not comfortably. She was also thinking of using her spare time to expose Widow Xin's affair, but she never expected her eldest sister to be so helpful.
She would lend her elder sister a hand. Anyway, Xue Fu couldn't do anything to her, and he couldn't do anything to the Zhu family. He couldn't do anything in front of her, so it was good for him to shield his elder sister from the fire.
Xue Fu didn't speak. He knew that what Zhu Fanfan said was true. She wished he were dead. Could it be that someone told her about wanting to give her life in exchange for her son when she was a child?
Zhu Fanfan looked around the house with a hint of regret: "Looks like there's no excitement. I'll be going now. Let me know in advance if there's any excitement so I can come early and not miss it. Don't see me off. It's kind of boring not seeing anything exciting."
Xue Fu: ...If he had known earlier that this daughter was here to collect a debt, he would have dealt with her himself.
After Zhu Fanfan left, Fu Jingcai said, "Zhaodi, go see Fanfan off. She's your own sister."
Xue Zhaodi said weakly, "She even tried to hit you last time."
Fu Jing understood what her eldest daughter meant: the two didn't get along, and her eldest daughter didn't want to be close to Zhu Fanfan. However, Xue Fu and her mother-in-law were both afraid of Zhu Fanfan. Zhu Fanfan hit Xue Fu and her mother-in-law but showed mercy to her, which must mean she knew that Zhu Fanfan was her biological mother and wanted to be close to her.
He was exasperated with his eldest daughter: "Just go when I tell you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense? Have a good chat with Fanfan, talk to him more. You're so old, why is your brain like a block of wood? You don't even know how to use your brain! Hurry up and go!"
Xue Zhaodi quickly agreed and ran out. She also wanted to talk to Fanfan more, not because of her mother, but because she wanted to be close to her younger sister. Her younger sister was the only one who had escaped the Xue family's quagmire, and she had given her hope.
Xue Zhaodi ran all the way to the hospital entrance. There were many roads in the hospital, and she was afraid of getting lost. Anyway, she figured she couldn't go wrong by squatting down at the hospital entrance.
