out Fang Jianren holding him back, he was truly afraid that today's wedding banquet would turn into a complete disaster.He's brought shame to the Liu family just by looking at him."Uncle, I'm going fi...Mrs. Mu, an ordinary woman, instinctively started to panic when she heard the three words "something happened."

"Ah, A and Jinxiu, they just went out to the mountains."

Mayor Wang hurriedly chased after him, "I have to find that person back. I'm going now."

He just stepped out the door and ran into Zong Bai, who had just returned from an early morning workout with Mr. Qin. They bumped into each other.

"Uncle Wang, it's early in the morning, why are you sweating so much" Zongbei hurriedly helped him up and asked.

Just as he was about to tell Village Chief Zong Bai, he reconsidered. The boy was only fifteen years old; such a big matter would be too much for him to handle.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhong held onto Zong Bo's arm and said, "Come on, quickly follow me to bring your brother-in-law and sister-in-law back. I have something urgent to tell them."

Zong Bai grabbed him, "Uncle Wang, if it's really an emergency, you can just tell me. My brother is fast, and we might not be able to find him now even if we go looking, wasting time."

"Why don't you tell us what happened first Big Brother and Sister-in-law probably won't be back from hunting until dark."

Wang, the village head, finally sighed helplessly and pulled Zongbo towards the house. Mr. Qin, very self-aware, went to his own little hut next door.

It's not that he didn't want to help with the family matters. Judging by Village Head Wang's expression, this incident must be tricky and difficult to handle. It involves someone else's private affairs, and it's disrespectful to pry into their business without their consent.

Facing Mu Shi and Zong Bai's gazes, Village Head Wang didn't know how to begin.

He also didn't believe Zongyu would do such a thing, but, but, hey!

Zong Bai was getting impatient, "Uncle Wang, you sighed three or four times after going into the house. If it's an urgent matter, just tell me."

Mu Shi also chimed in, "That's right, Village Chief Wang, what happened that makes you so embarrassed to speak up"

Village head Wang didn't know how to explain, so he simply stood up. “Why don't you all come to my house with me Once you meet the person, you'll understand everything.”

Mu Shi and Zong Bai exchanged a glance. What could have possibly happened to make Wang Village Chief so reluctant to speak about it

Mu turned his head to instruct Yulian to take good care of the house. They went down the mountain with Wang, the village chief, and would be back soon.

Two people followed Village Head Wang to his house. Before they even entered, they heard the sound of a woman crying inside. Village Head Wang opened the door and let them in, his expression was hard to read.

Mu and his son looked at each other, then stepped into the house.

A woman was sitting in the yard, a little boy of about four years old nestled beside her. As soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, the child's face paled with fear. He scurried away from the woman and hid in the corner of the yard, almost leaping out of sight.

The woman wanted to grab but couldn't catch.

When the woman turned around, Mu Shi saw her face and was instantly terrified, her face paling. Afterward, she was filled with anger.

"How is it you"

Zong Bai saw that the woman's face had turned as cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"You still have the face to come back and find us."

The woman was raggedly dressed. At the first sight of Mrs. Mu and Zong Bai, she fell to her knees with a thud, sobbing and kowtowing to them several times.

"Auntie Mu, Zong Bo, I know I was wrong and I deserve to die, but right now I'm truly desperate."

"I know I have no face to come back and see you all, let alone Brother Ayou. But..."

Though the woman cried loudly, her eyes kept glancing back at the two people. Not seeing the person she hoped for, disappointment flashed in her eyes before she lowered them and cried even harder.

Then, he uttered a sentence that nearly made Mu Shi and Zong Bai drop their jaws.

"But, Dong'er is Ah Yu gege's own flesh and blood. I can die if I have to, but the child is innocent. I can't bear to let Dong'er starve to death with me."

"So I'm putting my pride aside," the woman said before being cut off by Mu's angry outburst.

"Silence! My son, A-Yu, has never even met your family. How could we possibly have a child this large"

"You can talk nonsense, but there should be a bottom line. Are you saying that all of us in our family are fools"

Zong Bai had long been clenching his fists in anger. This woman had abandoned his elder brother a month before their wedding, and ran off with another man.

She swindled her older brother out of the tens of taels of silver he had just received from selling his hunt, which was almost all their family's wealth at the time. She took it without batting an eyelid.

Now you actually dare to come back.

"My brother would never have a child with a woman like you. You're lying and not even trying to make it believable."servant raised her hand to touch her cheek that had been slapped. The second young master was in trouble, and the mistress was in a panic, only caring about this side. She hadn't dared to utter a sing...
