After resting for the night, they started their trip home.

Due to the amount of food, the return trip was a bit slow, but it was thankfully safe the whole way, and they did not encounter any zombies .

Around evening, Qiao Mu arrived home.

Her expression automatically relaxed as soon as she entered. She called with a glutinous voice, “Mother, I’m back.”

“Ah, Qiaoqiao’s back.” A woman’s soft voice was heard.

However, it was as good as a blast of thunder on a clear day in Qiao Mu’s ears.

She started, and her chilly eyes turned to the woman who spoke.

Wen Ruwan was quietly standing in her house’s courtyard next to Grandmother. She wore a bright red b.u.t.toned robe over a cyan-colored flowery pleated skirt. There was a pot of stew in her hands as she looked at Qiao Mu with a bright smile.

Fragmented scenes flitted before her eyes. A Wen Ruwan as soft and gentle as the one before her tearfully complained to her father, “Xiao Sen’s too hard to teach. Being a stepmother is hard. If I manage him too strictly, people will gossip. If I manage him too loosely, he will go out and stir trouble like today. I really don’t know how to raise him…”

The younger brother who her mother risked her life to birth was raised astray by this woman for no reason and ended up pointlessly dying in a senseless love affair.

When her brother died, he was merely 16 years old. Such a young life burned into smithereens just like that.

The change in the aura around Qiao Mu was felt most clearly by Mo Lian who had entered right behind her.

The child was perfectly fine a second ago. But in the blink of an eye, the weather changed and the viciousness in her burst up.

Currently, there was ice in her eyes. Her wooden and cold expression made it seem like he had returned to the first time he met her when she used a rock to mercilessly bash Wu Yanzhen in the head.

Crown Prince Mo’s eyes narrowed dangerously and followed Qiao Mu’s bone-chilling gaze toward the unsettled and terrified woman standing next to the flowerbed.
