Shi Qingluo thought deeper than Mrs. Kong.

She asked Xiao Hanzheng: “Have you ever had any feud with that doctor or his family?”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head: “No.”

Shi Qingluo raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the main Xiao Family: “If this is the case, this doctor is trying to harm you, maybe because someone bribed him, and it may be done over there.”

Mrs. Kong was stunned: “The people in the main family regard money as much as their lives, would be willing to spend money to buy a doctor?”

“And why did they have to kill Zheng’er? We have separated and divorced.”

It was not that she doesn’t believe her daughter-in-law’s guess, but she doesn’t understand.

Xiao Hanzheng found that his little wife was too smart and sensitive.

He explained to Mrs. Kong: “People in the main house are reluctant, but some people are not.”

“For that woman, as long as our family lives, we are a hindrance to her.”

“A stumbling block to that scum’s love towards her.”

“She doesn’t want my name to be heard in the capital in the future under the imperial examination.”

“Otherwise, if someone digs out her past, people will know that she is just the general’s wife in the outer room.”

“People will know that the two of them, uncle and niece, are shamelessly committing adultery.”

In his previous life, he never thought that even though they took the initiative to separate and break off their family relationship, that woman would still not let them go.

Her arrangements were linked together and were very secretive.

When he woke up in his previous life, he was the only one left in the family.

Remembering that he didn’t fall down the mountain by himself, he always felt that there was something wrong with the death of his mother and others, so he went to investigate secretly before he found out.

On the surface, that woman looks like a pure and weak flower that needs a man to take care of her, but secretly she was more ruthless than anyone else.

Xiao Hanzheng couldn’t bear to see his mother’s pale face, but he still decided to expose it.

“When I was chopping firewood on the mountain, I felt a pain in my calf, and then my leg became numb and then went limp.”

“I’m sure someone hit my leg with a stone precisely, and that’s why I lost my footing and fell down the mountain.”

He continued: “Yier’s drowning should not be regarded as a pure accident, but someone deliberately said that drinking fish soup can hang my life, so he went to catch fish.”

Even if Xiao Hanyi doesn’t have cramps in his feet, he would go fishing a few more times, which will let the villagers learn soon.

That woman’s person will let Xiao Hanyi drown in the river without making people suspicious.

“The Eldest Aunt and Third Aunt of the main family wanted to marry Baili to the Wu Family to be buried with their young master, that woman’s handwriting will certainly not be missing.”

In his previous life, he found out that it was the maid who was left by that woman to serve the old lady. She got the news that the Wu Family spent a high price of money to get married into their family and be buried together with their young master, so the maid encouraged those two to do it.

Mrs. Kong’s face turned pale: “She forced us like this, but still won’t let us go? Why is she so ruthless?”

It was terrible to think that they all have to die.

Xiao Hanzheng said: “She can cruelly use the child in her stomach to frame you, so it’s nothing to hurt us.”

“Then your father.” Mrs. Kong then changed her wording with a trembling tone: “Does that scum know?”

Xiao Hanzheng sneered at himself: “What will change if he knows?”

“That woman probably didn’t let him know about these things, after all, it would damage her image in that scumbag’s heart.”

“But even if he knows, as long as she cries aggrieved and sadly, then say that she wants to avenge her lost child, that scumbag will not pursue it, but will comfort her.”

He has completely figured out the temperament of his scumbag father.

That woman was the true love of their scumbag father. They, together, can’t even compare to that woman’s finger.

Mrs. Kong trembled with anger: “But you are his children!”

How can there be such a cruel person?

Xiao Hanzheng laughed: “The child can be born again after it’s gone. In his eyes, only the child born to that woman is his child.”

Mrs. Kong and their brothers and sisters were proof of that scumbag’s unsatisfactory life and poor past.

It would be great enough if he didn’t harden his heart to kill them with his own hands, let alone think to take care of them.

That woman was very smart. If it wasn’t for the scumbag father’s indifferent attitude towards them, or even having a knot in his heart, she wouldn’t do this. But she knew she wouldn’t be blamed or punished by the scumbag father after the incident revealed one day.

Because of that scumbag father, she dared to get rid of their family so viciously behind their backs.

That scumbag father was not innocent.

Mrs. Kong took a deep breath, “If this is the case, why did he propose to take you to the capital to be trained?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied: “He said he will take me to the capital because that woman suggested it.”

“Why, because in front of the main family and the villagers, she will look very generous.”

“But mother, do you think she is kind?”

“The General Mansion is her territory. As long as I go to the capital, she has the final say on how to round and flatten things out.”

“Even if I die, she can find any excuse to escape.”

In his previous life, he didn’t think about it. After all, how could there be so many secretive methods of fighting in the back house of the village? He had never seen it.

He refused to go to the capital, not because of that woman, but because of his disgusting scumbag father. He didn’t like the other party, and he can’t leave alone his mother and siblings.

It was only later on that he found out what that woman had done.

The worst thing that Mrs. Kong had ever experienced before was being suppressed by her mother-in-law and being bullied by her sister-in-law.

She didn’t expect such a vicious woman and such a ruthless man.

Back then, it was Xiao Yuanshi who fell in love with her and then came back home to ask permission to propose marriage.

Before they got married, that man kept coaxing her to make her fall in love with him and to agree to marry him. He even begged her parents.

Her parents didn’t think highly of Xiao Family. They didn’t want her to marry into their family.

After getting married, she and that scumbag also had a sweet time.

Before he went to serve in the military, he didn’t treat her too badly, and he didn’t treat their eldest son too cold.

Xiao Hanzheng saw Mrs. Kong’s thoughts at a glance.

“Mother, he is the second child in the family. They don’t pay him much attention, but you are the only daughter of our grandparents. Your family conditions are not bad, so he wants to marry you.”

“Bringing you home has indeed brought him benefits. He learned martial arts from my grandfather, and he has developed good martial art skills.”

His grandfather used to be a good hunter in the village. He also learned martial arts from a teacher.

If his scumbag father hadn’t learned martial arts from his grandfather, he wouldn’t have been able to take the position of general after he served in the army.

He continued: “It is also because of the constant subsidies from my grandparents that we live a good life in the main house, and even I can go to school.”

“After Grandpa and Grandma passed away one after another, the old couple in the main house changed their faces and began to suppress you, allowing the other two families to bully you.”

“That scumbag also becomes a lot colder to you, you should have felt it yourself, right?”

“And when he served in the military, was he forced? I think he is following the trend and has plans in his heart.”

That Scumbag Father has always been ambitious and unwilling to live the life of an ordinary farmer, so why not become a soldier? He will have a chance to rise, and he did succeed in the end.

He didn’t want his mother and the others to deceive themselves, let alone have extravagant hopes and thoughts about that scum.

Mrs. Kong couldn’t hold it back, tears streaming down her face: “Beast, he is a beast. A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs.”

At this moment, the last trace of hope, thoughts, and affection in her heart was completely cut off, leaving only hatred.

Their children were her bottom line and her pillar to continue living, even that scum she once loved cannot step on it.
