Qi Shouzheng was still a little dazed when his past was suddenly revealed in this way.

It has been more than ten years since that incident, and he only sees his cousin again in his dreams at midnight.

In the dream, the cousin repeatedly asked him why he didn't want to marry her. Did the vows they made back then no longer count?

Zhang thought of her niece and her brother's family who had completely cut off all contact with her because of this incident, and she didn't know what to feel.

If she had known that her son would not have a son after ten years of marriage, she would have not been such a bad person.

But at this point, no matter if I regret or feel anything else, it is meaningless.

Qian looked at her husband and mother-in-law in a daze. She only knew that Qi Shouzheng had a childhood sweetheart, a cousin named Zhang Da, who later died of an acute illness.

She never thought there were so many hidden secrets in this.

Thinking about the name that Qi Shouzheng would occasionally call out in his sleep over the years, as well as the many difficulties and dislikes her mother-in-law had for her, all the things she had not thought about before now had answers.

She lowered her brows, feeling that all her anxiety and self-blame over the years were just a joke.

Lu Xinran, who had shocked everyone, was switching back and forth between Zhang's and Qi Shouzheng's booklets.

[After the cousin committed suicide, the Zhang family completely hated Zhang and Qi Shouzheng.]

[Especially Zhang's sister-in-law Wang. She thought that her daughter died tragically because of Zhang, and that it was because Zhang disliked her daughter's weak body and difficulty in giving birth that she blocked the marriage. She hated both mother and son.]

[Whenever the mother and son were around, she would abuse and humiliate them. Qi Shouzheng felt guilty and allowed her to beat and scold him whenever he saw Wang.]

[Also, um, curse him to have no offspring and die a miserable death. ]

[Well, Qi Shouzheng still has no children. This may be related to this Wang family.]

[The only time she didn't beat or scold Qi Shouzheng was when she poured him a bowl of tea and forced him to drink it.]

Everyone: "?!!"

Is it because of the bowl of water?

But, what could make people give birth to only daughters and not sons?

This is so weird!

Zhang had come back to his senses from his complicated sigh, and then fell into confusion and doubt about life.

Qi Shouzheng was trying hard to recall what happened when Wang asked him to drink that bowl of tea. Too much time had passed and he could no longer remember the details of that day. He only remembered that the bowl of water tasted a little strange and Wang also gave her a plate of thumb-sized snacks.

Both mother and son were lost in their memories. Qian was the first of the three to come back to her senses. She calmly began to think of ways to find out the details of what happened back then.

The Zhang family and the Qi family had not had any contact for many years. Wang hated Zhang so much that she put all the blame for her daughter's death on them and her son.

It would definitely not work to ask Zhang to send an invitation to Wang to invite her to visit the house.

Since Wang can't come to them, they can only find a middleman.

Her mind quickly turned to Xu. Xu Shaohua was the newly appointed Minister of the Honglu Temple, and Zhang's brother was also in the Honglu Temple.

I have been an official for so many years, but I have never been promoted.

If Xu sent an invitation to Wang to visit her house, Wang would probably go there for the sake of her husband's future.

The only problem now is that she is not close to the Xu family.

Lu Xinlan's eyes were constantly searching over them inconspicuously. Qian had already prepared a response in her mind before she did so, and she immediately looked at her pointedly.

Qian was startled at first, then something moved her mind.

She silently said the word "Xu" to Lu Xinlan, and Lu Xinlan immediately understood and nodded slightly.

She had already learned from Lu Xinran's mumbling that the life points from eating the melon had not yet been calculated.

This matter is just like solving a case. If the cause can be found, perhaps a lot of life points can be calculated.

So knowing that Lu Xinran would definitely want to get to the bottom of this matter, she helped to plan the next step without leaving a trace.

[I feel like the problem lies with Wang Shishen. It would be great if I could find a chance to meet Wang Shishen. I really want to know how she did it.]

[Wang is really cruel. Zhang disliked her daughter, so she made the Qi family extinct.]

[Both of them have vicious and cruel personalities. One is cruel enough to break up with her parents without any hesitation, and the other is vicious enough to use any means.]

[Mrs. Qi is the most pitiful. She has blamed herself for so many years. Her mother-in-law treated her harshly and her husband treated her coldly. But she recites scriptures and worships Buddha every day and prays devoutly for the sake of this family.]

[How stupid! This kind of family, this kind of mother-in-law and husband are not worthy of her unconditional dedication. ]

Qi Shouzheng felt a burning sensation on his face from the contempt he felt in his heart.

He wasn't deliberately treating Qian coldly, he just... couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Qian's years of guilt and self-blame had completely disappeared at this moment.

She would still pray for a child, but no longer for the Qi family and Qi Shouzheng, but for herself, so that after Qi Shouzheng passed away, his family property would not be seized by the clan and his family would not be wiped out.

Lu Xinran was halfway through eating the melon and was very dissatisfied with this trip.

The life value has not been calculated yet!

After returning to the mansion, Lu Xintong and her sister trotted all the way and recounted the affairs of the Qi family in a tidy manner before Lu Xinran and the others arrived.

"Grandmother, you don't know how ugly the old lady of the Qi family looked. She was even scolded by my second sister until she cried. My second sister said that she was a daughter-in-law who became a mother-in-law and had a twisted mind."

Pei burst out laughing, "What a mouth she has."

Chatting and laughing, Lu Xinlan finally slowly brought Lu Xinran to Zhaoyun Courtyard.

Seeing them come in, Pei smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu sent you a letter, inviting you to visit her house in a few days."

Lu Xinlan smiled and took the invitation. Thinking of Qian's plan, she hesitated for a moment and prepared to write a letter to Xu, asking her if she was willing to help.

Zhang and Qi Shouzheng would definitely find a way to arrange a meeting between them and Wang.

If they want to enjoy the convenience brought by the system, they must bear the impact of their inner voices. Sooner or later, this matter will become known to everyone.

So she didn't even need to confirm with Qian again. She returned to the courtyard and picked up her pen to describe in a tactful way what had happened at the Qi family today.

Since there was something exciting to watch, Xu would naturally not refuse.

With the support of her brothers from her natal family and Xu Shaohua's official position, she doesn't need to be afraid of the Zhang and Wang families at all.

However, she needs to deal with the shameless Sun and Liu families first, and then she will have the time and energy to watch the fun in the Qi family.

She scheduled the banquet in her mansion for half a month later.

The invitations were sent to the Qi family, the Zhang family, and some close families.

Lu Xinran held the invitation and kissed it happily. These are all life points~
