Thinking of this, the old lady's face could not help but sink.

Seeing this, the two daughters-in-law also stopped talking. Not long after, Lu Wei returned. The moment he entered the house, he saw Wang Xiulian serving breakfast to the old lady.

The exquisite rice porridge, small steamed buns, and some light side dishes.

Seeing this, Lu Wei let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he nodded to Wang Xiulian. Then, he sat at the side and asked, "Mom, are you feeling better?"

The old lady nodded. Meanwhile, Zhang Aixia glanced at him and said, "I say, third brother, it's not that sister-in-law is talking about you, but this child, Yichen, is really getting more and more outrageous."

"I remember when I was young, he was very polite when I met them. He was also well-behaved and sensible. How did he become like this when I arrived at the Xia family?"

Hao Xiumei heard this and immediately said, "Who says so? Ever since we went to the old Xia family, every year when he came back, we were like enemies. How is this still like the children of the Lu family? It's clearly the old Xia family that has bad intentions."

As for why they had bad intentions, everyone was clear in their hearts.

The old lady's expression changed when she heard this. Then, she slammed the bowl and chopsticks onto the table with force. Bang--

Lu Wei could not help but frown. He glanced at Hao Xiumei. This person really did not want to talk about the pot that was boiling.

Seeing this, Zhang Aixia quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Hey, no matter what, Yichen is also a child of our Lu family. We can't just push a good child into someone else's house, right?"

Then, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I see that Yichen that child especially values his wife. I think, why don't we let that little girl come home more often?"

"This child has grown up. Now that he has a wife, this mother still wants to kiss her. No matter what, she is also our Lu family's daughter-in-law. There is no reason for her not to side with the Lu family, right?"

"If there's nothing else, should we let her come home and get close to the old lady?"

Hao Xiumei frowned when she saw this. "Sister-in-law, that wretched girl's temper is like a stubborn donkey. Don't make the old lady angry."

As soon as she said this, Zhang Aixia's face turned black. She cursed in her heart, this idiot. She's not good at doing things, but she's good at ruining things.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Lu Wei's brows furrowed even more tightly. Thus, Zhang Aixia hurriedly said, "How can a young lady nowadays not have a temper?"

"That child is not only good-looking, but she's also good at her studies. To be able to enter our imperial capital's famous school in such a poor and remote place, there's absolutely no need to say anything about her studies."

"Yiyang and Juanjuan are about to enter the college entrance examination at home. If they can receive some guidance from sister-in-law, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"Moreover, we elders will have to meet our ancestors sooner or later. In this world, don't they have to unite as one in order to strengthen the Lu family?"

"If Yichen gets close to our family because of his wife, wouldn't he be able to slowly return to his family after getting close to his uncles and brothers?"

Zhang Aixia's words were logical and reasonable. As expected, Lu Wei was tempted when he heard her words.

All these years, because of Ah Yu, the Xia family must have hated him terribly. Even their only son was filled with hostility towards the Lu family.

At this moment, the old lady suddenly spoke. "All of you can go back. I'll talk to third brother."

Zhang Aixia looked at the old lady when she heard this and immediately smiled. "Alright, mom. I'll go back first. I don't know how the child's father has been these past two days. I'm always worried."

When she heard about her eldest son, the old lady's heart softened a little. She waved her hand and said, "Go, go. Rest well at home."

When Hao Xiumei heard that, her face turned a little paler. Sure enough, the old lady's expression when she turned to look at her became a little more disgusted.

Hao Xiumei clenched her fists. Her face was full of grievance and she did not dare to express it. Even when she went out, her eyes were still filled with hatred.

Her man died. He died in battle. She did not cause his death. What did this have to do with her?

However, the old lady had already decided that she was her husband's nemesis, nemesis, nemesis--

Even though she had been a widow for many years and had not remarried, the old lady still did not like her, but what about Zhang Aixia?

Pui, wasn't her man just hanging on by a thread? She was just being nice to her, on what basis? On what basis?

And that b*stard Lu Yichen, on what basis did she let him come back?

Seeing his face that looked just like that b*stard Xia Yu, she could not wait to go up and scratch him. If she wanted him to go back to the Lu family, she might as well let him die, die--

That deep-rooted hatred, it was as if it wanted to swallow everything up.

As they left one by one, only the old lady and Lu Wei were left in the room.

The old lady leaned against the backrest and said with a tired expression, "Third brother, are you still blaming me?"

Lu Wei's face was cold as he said expressionlessly, "Mom, no."

The old lady glanced at him and said, "You are my child. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

"Aren't you just blaming me for forcing Xia Yu to death back then? How many years have passed and you are still brooding over this?"

"Now that Yichen is older and has married a wife, are you afraid that I'll mistreat Yichen's wife?"

Lu Wei heard this and quickly said, "Mom, you're thinking too much. I really didn't."

The old lady sighed and pointed to a painting on the wall. "Third brother, take a look at this painting."

"This was painted by that child Yichen after Xia Yu left. I've been keeping it until now and I can't bear to take it away."

Lu Wei took a look at it when he heard that and said in a daze, "That's right. This painting has been hanging for so many years. How old was he back then?"

The old lady sighed and said, "At that time, Yichen cried every day to look for his mother. He stayed at my place. How could I not feel pain after hearing it?"

When Lu Wei heard that, his aura immediately weakened and he looked particularly dispirited. The old lady continued, "Xia Yu is indeed a good girl. However, she is not suitable to be the wife of our Lu family."

"Back then, your eldest brother and second brother got into trouble one after another. If it weren't for you, would our Lu family have the glory we have today? We would have been trampled to the ground long ago."

"In that era of cannibalism, who would be able to escape?"

"If your eldest brother and second brother were still around, the burden would not fall on her. Being a little daughter-in-law, it's not a big deal to be a little naive and romantic."

"But the first two mountains collapsed, and our Lu family still has to survive. She did things inappropriately, what other people could do?"

Hearing that, Lu Wei frowned and shouted, "Mom, how many times have I told you, Ah Yu is not that kind of person."

Hearing that, the old lady frowned and waved her hand. "Yes, just like you said, Xia Yu is not that kind of person. But, she was caught by someone, and the evidence is irrefutable. What do you want me to do?"

"At that critical moment, I was able to resist the pressure and not let anyone harm her. I have already done my best."

"She couldn't accept it herself. She wanted to seek death herself. Who could save her? In this damned world, it was already extremely difficult to survive. She saved her life and did not cherish it. She actually abandoned her husband and went to seek death with her wet-behind-the-ears son. How could she be so cruel?"
