Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi was growing tired of being labeled as a vixen, and she even contemplated if they could at least change the adjective.

There were plenty of female demons in stories like “Journey to the West” they could have picked instead.

She pretended not to hear and dug her ears. avoiding the confrontation.

Seeing Gu Zits lack of response, Su Jing’s arrogance escalated. She believed that

Gu Zi was afraid and snapped, “Don’t think you can really marry my brother. Hey, I’m talking to you!”

Gu Zi, pretending to be surprised, responded, “Oh, are you talking to me?”

Su Jing’s frustration was further exacerbated by Gu Zits mocking tone. She attempted to move closer and confront Gu Zi, but Su Shen’s imposing presence stopped her in her tracks.

“She’s your sister-in-law. If you still acknowledge me as your brother, then respect her,” Su Shen shielded Gu Zi and warned his sister in a low voice.

“But brother, isn’t she the nanny you hired to take care of the children? Why should I call her sister-in-law?” Su Jing questioned. While she did not acknowledge Gu Zits identity, she refrained from using the derogatory term “vixen” again.

Previously, her brother was just a retired soldier, and she had relocated to her boyfriend’s home in the city to escape the hardships of rural life.

Now, her brother was the wealthiest person in Daqing Village, and she still relied on him for financial support.O

Su Shen responded coldly, “She’s the woman I want to marry. You don’t have to call her sister-in-law, but if you don’t, remember that you’re not welcome back to the Su family.”

This declaration left Gu Zi pleasantly surprised, and her heart raced. She had thought Su Shen would try to avoid any conflicts because of his sister, as most people would for their family’s sake.

However, he had openly informed Su Jing that she couldn’t return to the Su family unless she addressed Gu Zi as her sister-in-law.

Gu Zi was deeply touched by his commitment and felt a growing affection, and perhaps even love, for him.

After all, Su Shen was so handsome, so good at earning money, and so protective. It was difficult not to love him!

Su Jing saw that Su Shen had no intention of defending her at all, so she did not dare to make any more noise.

Without the rich backing of the Su family, her boyfriend would definitely break up with her.O

Su Jing decided to wait and see how the situation would unfold. She half-heartedly called Gu Zi her sister-in-law.

Gu Zi had no objections; she would answer if Su Jing addressed her properly.

Once Su Shen resolved the family issues, he glanced at the trembling Chu Xi and advised Su Jing, “Don’t interfere with what happens next. You don’t have to leave early either. Observe how this unfolds.”

Realizing that Chu Xi’s in-laws had caused trouble the previous night and likely sought help from Su Jing, Su Shen didn’t press further.

Without asking, he knew that they must have found Su Jing and used her as a weapon.

Su Jing was the youngest in the family. No matter how poor she was, she would not suffer.

He didn’t mind any of this. After all, she was his biological sister, and he wanted her to live comfortably.

But the transformation of his once-sensible sister into a domineering and gullible person was baffling. She fell for Chu Xi’s side of the story without questioning it.

When he first started the pig farm, she heard from the villagers that he had done something illegal. She was afraid that her boyfriend would break up with her, so she made a fuss and wanted to cut ties with him.

And now, after listening to Chu Xi’s people, she blindly believed them and started to attack Gu Zi. Su Jing was a silly woman who always believed the words of others after hearing a few words of instigation. If that wasn’t stupid, then what was?

Chu Xi’s parents-in-law would definitely not tell Su Jing the truth. They would only incite her to save Chu Xi and then use her to deal with Gu Zi.

Seeing Su Shen’s cold attitude, Su Jing wanted to retort, but she did not dare to say anything else.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Chu Xi knelt on the ground in the police lobby and crawled toward Su Jing.

“Jingjing, please! Help me! I was framed,” she implored.

Although Su Jing wanted to defend Chu Xi, she didn’t dare oppose her brother any further after their earlier altercation.

“Auntie, the police will clear your name,” she said to Chu Xi.

After saying that, Su Jing stood behind Su Shen and distanced herself from Chu Xi.

Chu Xi continued to kneel on the ground, shouting loudly in a bid to attract the attention of the people present.

The bystanders, however, mostly regarded her with disdain and indifference, choosing to focus on their own matters instead.

Chu Xi’s attempt to leverage her age and garner sympathy was entirely fruitless in this environment.

A few police officers decided to intervene and approached Chu Xi, delivering a stern warning, “Madam, please cooperate with the ongoing investigation. The truth will prevail. No one can unjustly frame you.”

One officer extended a hand to help her stand, not out of pity, but to maintain the police station’s professional demeanor.

They had seen too many aunties who cried and cried when they were caught for doing something wrong. No one believed her nonsense.

Realizing that no one was paying heed to her, Chu Xi eventually gave up her efforts.

Anyway, no one saw her poisoning the children.. As long as she refused to admit it, what else could they do?
