Song Mo didn’t know when he fell asleep, but in a daze, he heard a knock on the door.

He immediately sat up and looked outside. The sky had only just begun to brighten.

Only when there was an emergency in the village would someone knock on their door early in the morning. Song Mo yelled loudly that he would open the door right away and pushed Tang Huan awake, telling her to hurry and move her blanket to the west room, lest the people coming in see them like this.

Tang Huan rubbed her eyes and obediently returned to her room.

She had basically guessed the identity of the visitor.

Sure enough, after Tang Huan arrived at the west room, Jiang Yuzhu’s voice came in before her blanket was even warmed up.

“Second Uncle Song, please don’t worry. I’m only here to tell Jinzhi something related to my biaoge , not to pick a fight with her!” Seeing that Song Mo was blocking the entrance of the kitchen like a pillar, Jiang Yuzhu raised her head and spoke calmly.

“If you have something to say, just tell me here, and I will relay it to Jinzhi on your behalf.” Song Mo remained unfazed.

Who was Jiang Yuzhu to see Jinzhi whenever she wanted? This person obviously liked Dong Minghua. She might have come here early in the morning because she found out that Dong Minghua and Jinzhi had reconciled. What if she hurt Jinzhi out of jealousy? He had let her barge in due to a moment of carelessness. Did she think that he would allow her to enter and leave the Song house as she pleased?

Jiang Yuzhu hadn’t expected Song Mo to be so hostile and refused to let her in. She stomped her foot and approached the west room before calling out to Jinzhi.

Song Mo was furious, but he couldn’t do anything about Jiang Yuzhu. If it were Dong Minghua, he would just throw a kick at him, but Jiang Yuzhu was a young woman, so he shouldn’t have any physical contact with her.

“You-”

“Uncle, let her in.” Tang Huan had initially wanted to see if Jiang Yuzhu would directly shout about her affair with Dong Minghua, but now it seemed that Jiang Yuzhu was not that stupid. However, if Jiang Yuzhu planned to subtly create a misunderstanding between her and Dong Minghua while she retreated unharmed, Jiang Yuzhu would definitely be disappointed.

Song Mo suddenly lost his confidence when he heard his niece’s words. Perhaps his niece just wanted to listen to anything about Dong Minghua…

He silently stepped aside and watched as Jiang Yuzhu walked into the west room. After standing blankly for a while, Song Mo wanted to wait in the backyard, but he was worried that his niece might be bullied. After some thinking, he moved behind the west room’s door curtain and frowned as he listened to the conversation between the two women.

Although Jiang Yuzhu resented Dong Minghua for being cruel and heartless, as soon as she entered the room and saw the woman sitting lazily on the bed stove, her jealousy instantly overcame her anger!

Without Song Jinzhi, her biaoge would definitely like and marry her.

If Song Jinzhi hadn’t been framing her behind her back, her biaoge wouldn’t have called her a bitch, and she wouldn’t have had to marry that old man who was reaching the age of being buried in the ground!

“Song Jinzhi, why do you want to harm me?!”

“What do you mean by that? When did I harm you?” After looking at the woman who was standing on the ground with tightened fists and clenched teeth, Tang Huan took a glance at the door curtain and asked innocently, “Yuzhu, yesterday Minghua said you were going to return home to get engaged, so why did you find me so early in the morning? What’s the matter? Does Minghua know about this?”

What a good actress!

Jiang Yuzhu stared at Tang Huan in shock, as if she had just known her for the first time today. “You…you… Very well, I just found out today that your gentle and kind image, Song Jinzhi, was all a ruse! Why did I find you? I wanted to ask you: why did you frame me in front of my biaoge ?! You had even concocted a story about some handkerchief! Are you not embarrassed? For you to know so much about these things, have you been sleeping around with some wild men before? You-”

Could you get straight to the point?

Tang Huan was too lazy to go around in circles with her, and she was afraid that Song Mo, who was eavesdropping outside, would be so angry at Jiang Yuzhu that he would come in and chase her away, so she pretended to be confused and interrupted her, “Yuzhu, stop scolding. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Previously, I had mistakenly thought that Minghua liked you. Even though I was sad, I was willing to let the two of you find happiness with each other. But after listening to Minghua’s explanation yesterday, I realized that I had misunderstood him, so I forgave him. Yuzhu, what are you planning to tell me? What’s the matter? Could it be that you and your biaoge are hiding something from me?”

After hearing her mention Minghua in every sentence in an intimate and trusting way, apart from being jealous, Jiang Yuzhu didn’t want to beat around the bushes any longer. She couldn’t wait to see her pained expression after knowing the truth. Jiang Yuzhu became less enraged when she thought about that. She chuckled and stared sympathetically and sarcastically at Tang Huan. “Misunderstand? Are you sure it’s just a misunderstanding? Then, the day your father died, do you know what my biaoge and I did?”

Tang Huan’s expression changed drastically. “What do you mean?”

Of course, her fears and worries were faked, but Song Mo, who was standing outside the door, frowned.

Jiang Yuzhu was now satisfied. Since she couldn’t get what she wanted, she would make Dong Minghua and Song Jinzhi suffer for a lifetime! One of them was about to lose his beloved, while the other would soon come to regret and blame herself for liking the man who had killed her father. Just the thought itself gave her tremendous gratification!

“What do I mean? Hmph, I’ll just tell you the truth. That evening, biaoge had invited me to meet in the woods. He told me he liked me, and that he would come to your house in a few days to call off your engagement and marry me in the future. Then, your father emerged out of nowhere, scolded biaoge for being ungrateful and heartless, and even beat us. In order to protect me, biaoge had no choice but to push him hard. Your father lost his footing, hit his head on a stone, and died on the spot… Song Jinzhi, do you know why didn’t Dong Minghua come to see you in the woods that day when such a big incident happened to your family? Because I was terrified when I saw someone die in front of me, so biaoge stayed with me and assured me over and over again that your father fell to his own death, and his death had nothing to do with us! Haha, Song Jinzhi, do you still think a man like that would sincerely like you?”

“I don’t believe you!”

“You are talking nonsense!” exclaimed Tang Huan, standing up abruptly and pointing at her. “Minghua is not that kind of person!”

Jiang Yuzhu sneered. “Whether you believe it or not, only biaoge and I know about this matter. As long as we don’t admit it, no one will believe you even if you shout out now. Song Jinzhi, I came here to tell you, just because I wanted to let you know what kind of person the man you wholeheartedly wanted to marry truly is! Compared to a man like Dong Minghua, I would rather marry an old man! Haha, you-”

Before Jiang Yuzhu could complete her sentence, the door curtain was abruptly pulled open, and before she knew it, Song Mo had slapped her across the face.

How strong was the man? When Jiang Yuzhu fell to the ground, her left cheek swelled, and blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth.

“Uncle…” Tang Huan threw herself on the bed stove and began to cry.

“Get down!” Song Mo shouted, his eyes red with fury. “Let’s go! Let’s go to the Dong house and confront him right now!” If Jiang Yuzhu’s words were true, he would beat that beast Dong Minghua to death!
