Follow-up to Chapter 66
Li Tingxue instantly felt more confident and said coldly, "Pan Ranyue, do you think you're so cunning that others can't see through it? Actually, my father knows very well that his family business can only be inherited by my two younger brothers in the future."
Moreover, after all these years, hasn't my father given you and your mother enough money? Yet you are still so greedy, even trying to obtain things that don't belong to you.
They even dared to dream of having your son replace my brother as the eldest son of the Li family! What a pipe dream! If you don't have a mirror, have your son take a piss and look at himself properly. Ugly as they are, yet they dare to dream big!
Li Muxue snorted coldly, raised her head, crossed her arms, and echoed her elder sister's words:
"That's right! Putting aside whether my father would agree, my siblings and I would absolutely never agree to such an absurd thing!"
"Well, your father isn't entirely useless, though. All these years, he's managed to keep Pan Ranyue from succeeding again!"
[Hmph, so what if that woman succeeds? It's her fault for not being able to have children now! She's blind to have chosen Meng Zigao, a dog who only knows how to bite!]
[And another thing, that Pan Ranyue actually dared to act pitiful and wronged in front of your father, trying to seduce him. She said that since she got together with your father, she had never been with another man in her life.]
[She only ever loved your father; in life, she was his woman, and in death, she would be his ghost. Look at that idiot of a father; the moment he heard that, his heart softened, and...tsk tsk tsk!]
Just then, Li's father, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but get anxious and hurriedly called out in his heart: Mother-in-law, can you please stop leaving things unsaid?
And you always seem to be breathing heavily when you talk to him! Are you trying to scare him to death? Didn't you see the sparks practically shooting out of my wife's eyes?!
"Well, thankfully your father still upholds traditional male virtues. After realizing his mistake, he finally learned his lesson and started tightening his belt around those women outside. Otherwise, who knows, you might have had a few more siblings to fight for the inheritance!"
After hearing his mother-in-law's words, Mr. Li, who had been frowning, suddenly became energetic, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His back pain and leg soreness disappeared, and he became full of energy. Even his back, which had been bent over just now, was now straight and upright!
Hmph! Of course, how could someone as cautious as him fall twice in the same place? Ever since that incident, he has maintained a high level of vigilance at all times and is on guard at every turn.
Aside from his wife and family, any woman who tries to use underhanded tactics will only waste her time; he saw through that long ago.
He turned to look at his wife beside him with a proud expression, his eyes full of expectation, as if asking his mother for praise.
However, to his utter surprise, he was not greeted with the smiles and praise he had imagined, but rather with a fierce glare from his wife.
It turned out that Li's mother was still angry, and seeing her husband's smug look only made her angrier.
The spine that had just straightened up bent again, and Li's father's spirits were somewhat dispirited.
The father, who had been standing tall and proud, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon. His straight spine slowly bent down again, and his whole demeanor became somewhat listless.
He sighed helplessly, thinking to himself: "Oh dear! What should I do? My wife is still angry. What should I do to make her stop being angry and forgive me?"
Pan Ranyue and Meng Zigao were kicked out of the Li family, but they didn't see the bloodthirsty smile on Li's father's face as he watched their backs!
Jiang Mianmian watched the farce unfold and chuckled. Today's gossip was truly spectacular, full of twists and turns, leaving her amazed.
This ethical battle, this melodramatic plot, is no less dramatic than a theatrical performance; it's made her not want to leave now.
But the family of three had all run away and been chased away, and there was no one left. It was time for her, an outsider, to leave. If she stayed any longer, she would be suspected of deliberately watching her in-laws' misfortune.
Although she did want to continue observing how things developed, she decided to be sensible and say a few words to her parents before they took their leave and went home.
A few days later, the once peaceful capital city was thrown into turmoil as if a huge stone had been thrown into it—a shocking event had occurred in the city!
It is said that just yesterday, in the bustling Wangchunlou restaurant, two guests who were having a meal suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed on the spot, dying instantly.
At the time, Zheng Weimin, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was having tea with Li Zhanshi at a teahouse. After receiving a report from a kind-hearted person, Minister Li personally accompanied Zheng Weimin to the scene of the crime.
The officials below dared not neglect their duties and immediately launched an in-depth investigation. Meanwhile, news of the dead being eaten at Wangchunlou quickly spread throughout the teahouse and the streets, sparking much discussion.
After several investigations and careful analysis, the truth finally came to light: the culprit that caused the two diners to die from poisoning was the mushroom soup they ate, which contained deadly poisonous mushrooms.
The reason for this situation was that Wangchunlou was negligent in purchasing ingredients, allowing poisonous mushrooms to slip through, which ultimately led to this tragedy.
Just as people were lamenting the incident, another piece of news struck like a thunderbolt—Meng Gaozi, the owner of Wangchunlou, was arrested by the authorities at his mistress's place!
According to the officers who went to make the arrest, they happened to run into Madam Meng, who was aggressively confronting them about adultery. The officers then stopped their arrest and simply stepped aside to watch the spectacle.
The group heard a series of slapping sounds coming from inside the room, accompanied by Madam Meng's shrill shouts and curses:
"You little slut, you vixen... How dare you steal my husband, Pan Ranyue's husband? Do you really think I'm dead?"
Several officers looked into the room and saw that Madam Meng was furiously slapping Meng Zigao's mistress.
When Meng Zigao came to his senses, he saw that his beloved woman had been beaten by that bitch Pan Ranyue. He didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward and pushed Pan Ranyue hard to the ground.
