According to Wang Meili’s nature, if she hadn’t done this thing, and now they’re falsely accusing her, she’d definitely make a big fuss, if not crying, making a scene, or threatening to hang herself, at least sitting on the ground wailing in despair.

But the result is such a kind-hearted explanation.

To say there’s no conspiracy here, Gu Lingling simply doesn’t believe it.

"No, not only do you know that hawthorns can’t be eaten by pregnant women, but you deliberately made them into hawthorn cake," Gu Lingling said calmly. "As for your motive? I will definitely find out."

Gu Lingling looked at Wang Meili, "That’s how my mom died back then."

"I was too young then, and had no evidence, so I couldn’t do anything to you," she said with a cold laugh. "But you shouldn’t have, never should have, thought about such a thing again."

"The same trick you used on my mom without getting caught, and now you’re using it on my sister-in-law."

"Wang Meili, how can your heart be so dark?" Gu Lingling continued, "That’s your daughter-in-law, and she’s carrying your grandson."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, I know nothing," Wang Meili glanced at him and said. "Haohuan, you can’t listen to her provocations, she just can’t stand us getting along well."

"No, she’s not provoking," Gu Haojun said, head lowered, "That year, when Wang helped deliver my second aunt, she said something at our doorstep and I heard it."

"Mom, second aunt ate the desserts you made and then went into labor early because there was something in those desserts that induces labor, it was the hawthorn, wasn’t it?"

When Gu Haojun looked up again, his eyes were already red.

"But why?" Gu Haojun shook his head, "Am I even your biological son? You’re digging into my heart."

"Gu Haojun, you just believe Gu Lingling’s words, not mine, right?" Wang Meili cried out. "I’ve said, I didn’t, I didn’t."

"Why are you willing to believe an outsider instead of your mom?" Wang Meili pushed Gu Haojun, "Am I even your mom?"

Crying while pounding Gu Haojun’s chest with her empty fists, "Tell me, do you consider me your mom? You’ve been back for so long, but all you see is your wife, no matter what I say, I’m wrong."

"You want me to take care of your children, I take care of your children then you say I scold them."

"I dislike how you spend money so freely, asked you to hand over your salary for me to manage, but you fear I might lose it."

"So I am that evil stepmother, never treating you or your wife well, right?"

"Now you believe her when she says I’m harming others."

"I have to ask you, am I really your mom? Do you still consider me your real mom?"

She managed to make herself the victim first.

Gu Lingling couldn’t help but admire Wang Meili’s reaction speed; it’s really not average fast.

Look at that, Gu Haojun’s face turned from green to white.

He remained speechless.

"Just because big brother didn’t hand over his salary to you but to sister-in-law, so you held a grudge and fostered such vile thoughts?" Gu Lingling sneered.

"Don’t rush to deny it, rest assured, as long as a human does it, surely a flaw will show."

Even the most meticulous crime leaves room for error.

The reason Wang Meili acts so brazenly is just because they lack evidence.

But what if there’s evidence?
