She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 480 - 493: Unexpected Turnaround

Sheng An’s anxiety, which had been hanging high, finally eased a bit.

Sheng Laosan and Shen Luhua, hearing the noise, hurried out to greet them.

Although Shen Luhua appeared the most composed, as if nothing was amiss, her heart was actually filled with worry. Even if Xu Qigang didn’t care, no mother-in-law could be indifferent to this. freēwēbnovel.com

When Qin Cuifen turned her head and saw Xu Xianxiong and Zhao Lanzhi, she guessed they were Living Yama’s parents.

Her gaze fell on Zhao Lanzhi and she noticed her demeanor didn’t resemble that of rural folk at all; no wonder the rugged Xu Xianxiong could raise someone as coldly handsome as Living Yama.

Zhao Lanzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and Qin Cuifen, frightened, quickly averted her gaze. But fast as her action was, it wasn’t faster than Zhao Lanzhi’s sharp eyes.

She sized up Qin Cuifen from head to toe, her eyes sweeping over the latter’s chest and rear, and said with a smirking smile, "Oh? Whose ’little wife’ is this?"

Qin Cuifen’s complexion immediately turned pale.

"What are you talking about?" she feigned ignorance.

The smile on Zhao Lanzhi’s face grew even wider, her eyes looking at Qin Cuifen in a friendly manner. "I’m absolutely not mistaken, you can tell at a glance if it’s a young maiden or not. Young maidens don’t have a chest like yours."

Standing in front, Xu Xianxiong shot his wife a glare. How could she speak such outrageous words to a young girl today?

Zhao Lanzhi covertly signaled Xu Xianxiong with a glance, the couple having years of tacit understanding. They had cooperated on many big matters in the past.

Now Zhao Lanzhi only needed a glance for Xu Xianxiong to understand.

"You’re absolutely right, wife!" Xu Xianxiong’s voice was particularly loud; as the most notorious rogue and hooligan within ten miles and eight villages, what he said didn’t need to consider face.

What was face? How much was it worth?

"She’s newly married, no need for you to make a fuss."

Qin Cuifen felt like she could barely stand. She didn’t check the almanac before leaving home today; she shouldn’t have come to the Sheng family’s place.

She didn’t expect that, while Living Yama was formidable in the rescue team, his parents were even more formidable.

She would swear that Living Yama’s mother had definitely seen through her. If Widow Zhang could figure it out, so could the other old women.

Zhao Lanzhi was a learned person, educated. The ladies from prominent families in the past were not like today, nor were they like those enmeshed in the decadence of Shanghai Beach.

Back then, women in rural family clans had a bit of the Qiao Mansion about them. Not only did they need to learn how to manage a household, but they were also expected to learn some knowledge about gynecology.

For instance, recognizing pregnancy, some minor ailments, and symptoms were things they could diagnose themselves.

Zhao Lanzhi had been educated like this since she was young. She could tell at a glance not only that Qin Cuifen’s innocence was lost but also that she was pregnant!

At this time, Sheng Laosan and Shen Luhua came out from inside. Sheng Laosan, a grown man, couldn’t do the things Xu Xianxiong did, so he avoided the topic once more.

Shen Luhua was quick-witted and asked in cooperation, "Cuifen, is it you who’s been involved in an improper relationship with some ruffian?"

"Don’t falsely accuse me." Qin Cuifen shrank back, her body frail, playing the part of someone frightened by the crowd.

"I want to go back. I won’t talk to you, you all gang up to bully people." Saying this, she tried to leave but was easily stopped by Xu Xianxiong.

"What are you walking away for when we’re not done talking?" Xu Xianxiong glared, frightening Qin Cuifen into not daring to move again.

"Stand there and don’t move."

"In-law, is she the one spreading rumors about my daughter-in-law?" In fact, Zhao Lanzhi had guessed it the moment she laid eyes on Qin Cuifen, but she still deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked with feigned surprise.
