Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“No, no, no. I didn’t steal it. I don’t know you found it under my bed…” Chu Xi began to panic and speak incoherently.

She Imew she was the one who had stolen the watch and poisoned the children. Her deeds had come back to haunt her.

But how could they possibly know? No one had seen her.

She wanted to ask her in-laws for help, but when she looked up, she only saw the backs of the two old in-laws fleeing in a hurry.

At this moment, the police brought a familiar face to Chu Xi.

At that moment, the police brought someone familiar to Chu Xi, a man of about the same age. His sharp features and intense expression made him seem intimidating.

This was Chu Banxian, the cousin who sold the poison to Chu Xi.

He cursed at Chu Xi. “You old whore! You’ve ruined me! Why don’t you just die?

I’ll kill you before going to jail!”

He raged, attempting to break free from the police officers restraining him. Chu Xi, terrified, retreated until she fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Shen pulled Gu Zi back, watching the unfolding drama with a cold, detached expression.

Su Jing was also frightened and did not dare to move. What was going on? Why was everyone saying different things?

Sitting on the ground, Chu Xi recalled the things Chu Banxian had told her, and her fury grew.

That deceitful swindler had manipulated her, and she had fallen for his lies! She didn’t know where she got the strength from. She got up from the ground and pointed at the other party’s nose. “You old liar! Give me back my money! ”

But the man was equally obstinate, and the two of them launched into a verbal battle. The police officers decided to let them continue, as nothing they did could keep the feuding pair apart.

Both of them had seemingly lost their sanity as they ranted. Within their exchange of insults, they inadvertently revealed their motives, the illicit transaction, and their conspiracy to poison the Su family’s children.

To sum it up, Chu Xi had sought out her cousin, Chu Banxian, to concoct a plan to get rid of Gu Zi and regain her place as the Su family nanny.

Chu Banxian was aware that Chu Xi had amassed a significant sum while working for the Su family. He had seen an opportunity to extort money from her.

He suggested that Chu Xi use a so-called obedient powder, which was essentially a poison made from poisonous insects.

The powder would not kill but make the children ill, causing them to vomit, experience pain, and become weak for several months. In this vulnerable state, they would become obedient to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi had purchased the “obedient powder” at a high price, which was actually disguised as poisonous mushroom powder. Together, they schemed to poison

Chu Banxian had reassured her that the powder wouldn’t be lethal, but its effects would be enough to help her frame Gu Zi.

As long as he framed Gu Zi, when Gu Zi was arrested, Su Shen would need someone to take care of the child. The child would also speak up for Chu Xi, and Chu Xi would be able to work at the Su family again.

The people present found these words amusing, but they couldn’t bring themselves to laugh.

How could anyone believe such absurd claims?

It was clear that Chu Xi’s own greed and malice had brought her to this point. She had no one to blame but herself.

The other spectators gradually departed, leaving only the police, Gu Zi, Su Jing and Su Shen behind.

As Chu Banxian continued to curse, his rage escalated, and he managed to break free from the police’s restraint. He lunged toward Chu Xi and delivered a powerful slap.

A brawl between the cousins erupted immediately. They exchanged punches and kicks, creating a chaotic and intense scene.

The police officers eventually managed to separate Chu Banxian from Chu Xi. Gu Zi and Su Jing couldn’t bear to watch as they witnessed the brutal aftermath of the fight.

Chu Xi lay on the ground, her face battered and bloodied, resembling a gruesome sight. Blood flowed from her nose and mouth, making it a distressing sight.

The police took both Chu Xi and Chu Banxian to the hospital before they would face the full extent of the law’s punishment.

After leaving the police station, Su Shen and Gu Zi walked out, with Su Jing following them.

Su Jing forced a smile and spoke, “Brother, Sister-in-law, I want to apologize for my impulsive actions. I was misled by others. I didn’t mean it. I’m truly sorry.”

She didn’t feel any remorse for Chu Xi, who had tried to harm her nephews. In her opinion, Chu Xi had received what she deserved.

However, this didn’t mean she accepted Gu Zi. Gu Zi’s presence had disrupted the interests of too many people, including herself.

But Su Jing knew that she had to maintain a facade of friendship with Gu Zi in front of her brother.

She was aware of Gu Zi’s cunning nature and feared that her brother had fallen for her.

Su Jing suspected that Gu Zi was primarily motivated by money. This was something she couldn’t accept; the Su family’s wealth belonged to the Su

family!

Gu Zi had noticed the subtle thoughts behind Su Jing’s eyes but chose not to react since she hadn’t taken any hostile actions.

“It’s alright, it’s all in the past,” she replied with a gentle smile..
