When her mother arrived, Yu Ziying, who had been stubbornly refusing to admit her mistake, shed tears.

He looked at Yu Kangjing, sniffed, and said with a stiff neck, "Father doesn't believe me. Father only believes Chen Dongxi. I'm not going to tell him."

"Look at him, he has no manners at all. Did I say he was wrong?" Yu Kangjing was also furious.

This child is so stubborn; it could have been resolved with just a few words.

Now look what's happened, nobody's happy anymore.

"Daddy, you're bad!" Yu Ningyao stood to the side, hands on her hips, looking at him angrily.

She already knew the whole story from the system.

Father didn't even give the younger brother a chance to explain, so why did he assume it was the younger brother's fault?

Yu Kangjing was dumbfounded.

He never expected his daughter to stand up and criticize him.

"Oh, my dear baby, you can't say that." Yu Kangjing felt heartbroken and wanted to go forward and hug Yu Ningyao to explain to her.

As a result, Yu Ningyao ran up behind Yu Ziying with her short legs.

“I’ll listen to my brother, not my father.”

"No, please let your father explain first." Yu Kangjing didn't want his precious darling to misunderstand him.

Yu Ningyao raised her chin and hummed twice.

"If you won't listen, I won't listen either."

Yu Kangjing was dumbfounded.

Yu Ziying, however, understood what she hadn't finished saying.

If her father wouldn't listen to her explanation, she wouldn't listen to her father's explanation either.

He immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

"You're the best to me, Yaoyao." He hugged his sister tightly and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Yu Ningyao pushed him away with some disgust.

The guy got snot on her face!

Shen Jinzhu was both amused and exasperated, and quickly wiped her daughter's face clean.

She looked at her son and said gently, "Now you can speak."

Yu Ziying looked at her father.

Yu Kangjing quickly chimed in, "Go ahead and explain, I'll listen to your explanation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongxi's eyes instantly darkened.

She glared at Yu Ningyao with hatred.

It's all her fault. If she hadn't been so talkative, Uncle Yu would have already taken charge for her.

Yu Ziying happened to see this scene, and he pointed at Chen Dongxi and shouted, "You're not allowed to glare at my sister!"

Chen Dongxi instantly panicked.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she quickly waved her hands: "I didn't, I didn't."

Yu Kangjing turned his head and only saw her flustered appearance. He looked at Yu Ziying and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's talk about your own things, don't talk about anything else."

Yu Ziying then recounted what had happened.

“That day, I went to play with Chen Dongxi, and she said she liked Yaoyao’s courtyard and thought hers was ugly. I said if you don’t like this house and don’t want to live here, you can move out and live in another house. Then I can ask my mother to get you one just like Yaoyao’s.”

Once these words were spoken, the truth came to light.

Shen Jinzhu understood perfectly well.

This Chen Dongxi is too calculating.

She only said half of what she was saying to her husband.

After hearing his son's explanation, Yu Kangjing's gaze towards Chen Dongxi changed.

He didn't want to assume any ill will about his savior's child, so his tone remained gentle: "Xi'er, is what Ziying said true?"

Chen Dongxi was surprised that Yu Ziying would explain, as he had clearly not intended to say it at all.

It's all Yu Ningyao's fault!

Chen Dongxi didn't know how to defend herself, and she instinctively burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, I don't remember. I keep dreaming about my father, I can't sleep well, Uncle Yu, I'm scared. Please don't send me away. I have no home anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing sighed, "Alright, this was just a misunderstanding. It's all cleared up now. Don't worry, Xi'er, no one in this family will kick you out."

But Chen Dongxi kept crying.

She knew that only by crying would she gain Yu Kangjing's sympathy.

Seeing how badly she was crying, Shen Jinzhu thought it best to be forgiving, considering how young she was. She sighed and decided to let the matter drop.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ningyao jumped out.

"Apologize!"

She held Yu Ziying's hand while pointing at Chen Dongxi.

"Apologize to the delivery guy!"

Yu Kangjing wanted to smooth things over.

Yu Ningyao blinked her innocent big eyes at him and said, "You have to apologize when you do something wrong. That's what Father said."

Yu Kangjing, embarrassed by his daughter's rebuttal, gave an awkward smile and couldn't find a reason to refute her.

Yu Ziying was moved to tears upon hearing her sister's words.

He vowed to be good to his sister for the rest of his life.

He wanted to support his sister for the rest of his life, buy her the most beautiful dresses in the world, and the most expensive jewelry.

So that my sister can wear a different piece of jewelry every day!

Chen Dongxi refused to apologize and remained silent even as she cried until she was breathless.

At this moment, Cui Ruixin arrived.

As soon as she arrived, she protectively pulled Chen Dongxi into her arms.

"Oh dear, what happened? Why are you crying like that?"

When Chen Dongxi saw that she had come to support him, he immediately cried and hugged her waist, saying, "Auntie, I'm scared, waaaaah."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin immediately seized the moral high ground and condemned them.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but is this how you treat the daughter of your savior? The child is crying like this, and you're still being so aggressive. Is this how you repay a debt of gratitude? You're trying to drive her to her death!"

The moment Yu Kangjing saw her, his face darkened.

"Sister-in-law, our affairs are none of your business."

"Do you think I wanted to get involved? I just happened to be passing by and heard this child crying so pitifully. You're all parents, don't you feel bad hearing that?" Cui Ruixin said emphatically.

"Alright, I'll take the child back first. Once I've calmed him down, I'll bring him back to you. It's such a tragedy. He lost his parents at such a young age, and now you're scolding him like this. Sigh."

After saying that, she turned around, put her arm around Chen Dongxi, and walked out.

"Don't be afraid, your aunt is here."

Yu Kangjing was dumbfounded.

Shen Jinzhu was too lazy to pursue it. Since the child preferred her sister-in-law, she decided to let her be with her sister-in-law.

She provides food and drink, ensuring the person doesn't die, and then finds her a good family to marry into. That would be doing right by the Chen family.

She took her two children back to her room.

Yu Kangjing was left bewildered and caught in the middle, feeling utterly alienated.

……

After Cui Ruixin brought Chen Dongxi back to her room, she personally helped Chen Dongxi wash her face.

Chen Dongxi was deeply moved.

"Aunt, can I live with you from now on?"

Cui Ruixin thought to herself, "Oh no, I've overdone it."

She didn't want to actually become Chen Dong's mother.

She just wanted to use her to deal with the third wife.

She smiled slightly and shook her head: "That won't do. You are the child my third brother brought back, and I shouldn't presume to take care of you. If I take you away today, I'm sure I've already angered my third brother and his wife. Alas, they'll probably blame me."

She sighed heavily at the end.

"Why should they blame you?" Chen Dongxi shouted excitedly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just know that your aunt will always protect you." Cui Ruixin patted her head.

"You should remember to be sweeter with your words in the future. Your Aunt Shen comes from the Shen family of Hangzhou Prefecture. The Shen family is extremely wealthy. If you win her favor, you won't have to worry about not having a dowry in the future."

"You can tell from my eyes that your Uncle Yu and Aunt Shen really like girls. You can't be so willful in the future. If you behave well in front of them, they will definitely love you more and more."

"It's a pity they already have a daughter. If they didn't, you could be their daughter. They would definitely spoil you rotten."

Chen Dongxi listened to what she said.

Yes, it would be great if the third wife only had her as a daughter.

Uncle Yu and his wife love their daughter so much, they'll definitely spoil her like a princess.

Yu Ningyao should never have existed; it was Yu Ningyao who stole her life as a pampered young lady.

Seeing the hatred in her eyes, Cui Rui smiled smugly.

See? In just over a month, she successfully sided with Chen Dongxi and made him hate Yu Ningyao.

If Chen Dongxi kills Yu Ningyao, Shen Jinzhu will definitely not allow her to stay.

All she has to do is sit back and reap the benefits.
