Chapter 167: Only a Dead End

ent."My relationship with Jiang Chuang is not what you think it is.""I sent him away."Just as Fang Jinshi took two steps, Zong Yu caught up and grabbed her."I'll go."Uh oh, letting A-Yu go Won't they...Fang Jinshui felt strange, she walked to the bedside, “Let me take a look.”

"He shouldn't still be asleep at this time. Brother Zong Hu only has a serious injury on his arm, and he didn't suffer much internal damage. Logically, he should have woken up when he got home."

She sat down and took his pulse.

Wang Yan'er was both anxious and self-blaming. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the riverbank to die. Even if they poured dirty water all over me, I should have come back first to guard Tiger Brother."

"No matter what, I have to see he's okay before saying anything."

Fang Jinshu heard this, the flame in her heart couldn't help but flare up again.

Wait for her to finish taking Zong Hu's pulse before speaking.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand and lifted Zong Hu's head, stroking it gently at the back.

His face was ghastly.

"No wonder Zong Hu Ge hasn't woken up yet, his head was bumped on the mountain earlier and he has some mild concussion."

"Now there's another big bump on the back of his head, obviously he hit it again."

We were all together the whole way back. I'm certain that before we brought Zong Hu back, there wasn't such a bump on his head.

"Did something happen when you came back"

Wang Yaner quickly thought, "I remember now, when we entered the house my father-in-law strictly forbade Tiezhu's brother from carrying Tiger Brother in."

The two men shoved each other at the door for a while. My father-in-law pushed Iron Column Brother hard, and Brother Zong Hu fell to the ground.

Fang Jinshi was speechless.

"That must be when he hit his head."

"No, they've already been brought to the doorstep. Why wouldn't they let Tiezhu carry them inside"

Wang Yan'er bit her lower lip, her voice laced with both grievance and humiliation. "He, they said I... that I was improper, had relations with Tie Zhu."

Fan Jinxiu's face turned red with anger, "Bull**!"

Although I haven't known Sister Yan for long, I absolutely believe you're not that kind of person.

Wang Yanei heard this, her eyes were moved to be red.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Thank you, Jinxiu. If it weren't for your belief in me, I truly wouldn't be able to face life."

Ancient women valued chastity above all else, and rumors could cost them their lives.

This is just an unfair era, Fang Jinshu couldn't say much about it.

"I can only try my best to advise Wang Yan'er, 'Yan'er sister, life is the most precious thing. No matter what happens, don't give up your life easily.'"

"Look back at Little Tiger, and then look at Big Brother Zong Hu. Are you really willing to abandon them just because of a few slanderous words from others"

"If they were dead, I wouldn't be able to see them anymore. It wouldn't be worth it."

Wang Yan'er choked back a sob and nodded, "I know, but it's my own in-laws who said I was flirting with men. It's different when others say it."

"If Uncle Tiger found out, he'd be ashamed too. He would definitely listen to his parents and divorce me."

"If that's truly the case, I might as well end this myself."

Fang Jinshi was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Wang Yannei was the epitome of a traditional rural girl, the kind whose ideas were ingrained in her from childhood by her family.

This is deeply ingrained and can't be resolved with just a few words.

If you really choose suicide, no one will think you're innocent. You might even be rumored to have been caught cheating and killed yourself out of shame.

"You always end up losing out."

"What about little Tiger He's just born, are you going to let him be a child without a mother"

Wang Yannei was a little ashamed of what Fang Jinshu said.

"Tie Zhu said, as long as Zong Hu Ge wakes up, he can prove my innocence. After I came back, I thought about it myself, and I really couldn't bear to let them go."

"But my mother-in-law and his parents, they can't tolerate me anymore." Wang Yan'er choked back sobs and started to cry.

After Zong Hu's coma, no one else from the Zong family ever spoke to her again, and they didn't even leave dinner for her and her child.

Last night, the Liu family came over and said they were going to take the child away. It was she who fought them off desperately.

"Jinxiu, I beg you, please heal Tiger Brother, make him wake up."

“If he is still willing to believe me and live with me, even if everyone in the family doesn't accept me, for him and the children, I can endure it.”

But if, he also thinks I'm a disgrace, then, then I only have one way out.t end in a day or two, let alone taking the head of an enemy prince."“Li Lie’s fate, is destined to be ended by my own hands. I don’t need anyone else to interfere.”She looked at Jiang Chuang, "Are yo...
