Chapter 448: The Mu Family's Fury

Fang Jinshu was actually skilled in medicine. At this moment, her face turned pale with shame. Of course, she didn't dare to [do anything].He's still stubbornly saying, "Even if you're a doctor, with..."Uncle Three, what do you mean"

"Uncle Zong Hu lives right near our house, would we joke about Auntie's passing"

"Your aunt's body has already been laid to rest. Even if you don't believe us, the officials aren't fools. They won't arrest someone without evidence."

"Don't spout nonsense here."

Even though Zong Bai spoke with reason, his words were met with indifference. The people in the old house weren't reasonable to begin with.

"Now everyone is dead, and you still haven't said what happened. We didn't see anything from beginning to end."

"Your two families are the only ones in this entire village who have it out for us. You've been holding a grudge against Grandma ever since she kicked your family out all those years ago. Now you want to get revenge, and it's not impossible."

"Your brother was taken away, your father died of anger, and you dare say there's nothing to do with your family"

Hearing her son's words, Old Madam Wu cried even harder. Hu Ailan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, not afraid at all of Fang Jinshu's gaze.

"Uncle Three, I believe in Uncle Zongyu's character. He and Auntie Mu would never intentionally retaliate against Grandma."

"If they wanted revenge, they would have acted a long time ago and wouldn't wait until today."

The conflict between the grandparents and the second family has only become increasingly severe recently.

"Me too." She paused for a moment, glancing at Fang Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, it's not that I want to target you."

"It's true that since you married into the second house, the conflicts in the family have become increasingly deep. The grandparents and Mu's family are almost on the verge of a complete break."

Fang Jinshu glared fiercely at Hu Ailan. She had always had a hunch that the other party was not easy to deal with, and now she realized she was terribly wrong. The other party was far from just difficult to deal with.

She's been so busy with the manor and clearing land that she didn't take Hu Ai Lan seriously. Unexpectedly, the woman has been pulling strings behind her back, even captivating the spirits in the old house. Not simple at all.

Zong Yu's physique was good, he didn't seem to be seriously hurt even after being beaten so many times. However, Zong Bai's situation was a bit worse.

After arguing with Zong Lao San, He Zi's steps wobbled and he almost stumbled. Mu shi supported her youngest son with love and concern.

"They, as siblings, came to pay their respects to the elderly with incense because of their blood kinship. You didn't bother to distinguish right from wrong before beating them up."

"Third brother, tell me, is this what you do to be right"

Mu rarely gets angry. It's not that she has no temper, but others haven't touched her bottom line yet. Once they do, she can do anything for her children, even sacrificing her own life.

"Our family walks upright and sits properly, we're not afraid of you throwing dirty water on our heads."

"Children, you have done all you could to be filial. I will seek justice for the grievances you have suffered."

Mu Shi suddenly getting angry was really something Fang Jinxiu hadn't expected.

Not only was Zong Bai dumbfounded, but even the few people in the old house were temporarily stunned.

Mu walked to Old Madam Wu's face, "Mother-in-law, my two sons being beaten by you without the ability to fight back is because they are well-behaved. You have bullied me for a lifetime, and as a daughter-in-law, I have never complained once."

"Let me make myself clear today: if you dare to harm my child even a single hair, I will risk my life to fight for justice!"

The Mu family put on a fierce front, scaring Old Madam Wu so much that she retreated step by step.

When the mother-in-law displayed her power, Fang Jinshi was startled for a moment before she reacted and immediately walked to her side, holding up her arm to support her.

Mu turned her head to look at Hu Ailan, who was beside Wu.

"And you too." Hu Ailan stiffened all over. Mu's aunt had always been soft on her, never looking at her with such a frighteningly cold gaze before.

But for Fong Ching-siu, this was already the second time.

Last time, it was her who made herself leave.

"Hu Ailan, listen to me, I don't care how you manipulate the people in the old house to smear Jinxiu."

"Even if I hadn't bought Jinxiu back, with your character, my son wouldn't be able to marry a wife even if he spent his whole life, and I still wouldn't let you, such a good girl, into our family as my daughter-in-law."

As Mu's words fell, Hu Ailan's hand clenched tighter and tighter, gritting her teeth.

“Auntie Mu, I don’t understand what you're saying. I haven’t thought about throwing mud at anyone, I was just telling the truth.”and even snuck around near our house to spy on us.Zong Hu really couldn't believe that his father would be the murderer of his mother. He pressed his voice and said unwillingly.Even if he inquired, it...
