Protecting Her

The old woman concurred with him in her thoughts, contemplating how to get her daughter-in-law out first and then deal with her when she returned.

She said, "Su Shen, Chu Xi is at most just a little too greedy for some money. She would never do something as heinous as poisoning someone. There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe someone used her!"

After she finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Gu Zi, insinuating that Gu Zi had nefarious intentions, wanting to harm the children through a proxy.

Su Shen shielded Gu Zi behind him and retorted sternly, "The police will uncover the truth, and I'll fulfill my duty. I will reclaim all the money Chu Xi stole that wasn't part of her salary."

Gu Zi couldn't help but want to applaud. The way this man defended her and her family was incredibly impressive.

The old woman fumed, stamping her feet irrationally, and exclaimed, "Su Shen, why must you do this?! Look at your child. He's perfectly fine."
