C8 (2/2)

I knew it couldn't be hidden, so I told her the truth. I told her all about the weird scene from last night.

Then I asked her where she had been last night.

She said to me in a rueful tone: I told you not to come back, so why don't you listen.

I told her that it was a shock, and that she should stop being afraid.

The Grand Matriarch walked up to the donkey, wiped her blood and tears, and said: You're not afraid of death, you little bastard.

I wanted to ask her what she meant by that, but at that moment we heard a commotion approaching and soon came to us.

Following which, he saw Zhao Wu and his men surrounding me.

Zhao Wuyi's face turned fierce, and he immediately asked me if I went to steal something from his house.

My heart skipped a beat, and I wondered how he knew about it so quickly.

But then he understood what was going on. He must have gone back to his old house and found out that something was missing. That's why he came to find me.

It's just that I don't quite understand why he didn't go last night and had to drag it out until daylight, since he also wanted it.

I knew that I couldn't admit it even if I was beaten to death, or else I really might be beaten to death.

So I denied it and said I hadn't touched his things.

Zhao Wuyi looked flustered and exasperated. He waved his hand and slapped me.

I staggered under his blows and felt my eyes go blurry. I almost fell to the ground.

He pointed at my nose and snarled, Boy, listen to me. The body of my son's daughter-in-law and that wooden box. If one is missing, I will kill your entire family!

I was stunned by his slap, and my anger rose.

I recalled the events of the past few days, and could not help but feel a surge of manic rage in my heart. I immediately broke out and cursed: ”Your surnamed Zhao is so awesome that he doesn't listen to reason!” Your son is still alive and I saw him last night. He doesn't want to see you.

Before I could finish cursing, I saw Zhao Wu's face turn ashen, and the muscles on his face started to tremble. I didn't know if it was due to anger or anxiety.

His hair stood on end from my scolding. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Fine, fine, you little bastard. I'll kill you today.”

After saying that, with a wave of my hand, those people immediately surrounded me, ready to gang up on me.

I thought I was going to die for sure, but at this moment, I heard the Grand Matriarch yell, ”Zhao Wu'er!” Stop!

She had been squatting there when she went to see the donkey's blood and tears, so Zhao Wu never noticed her.

At this moment, Zhao Wu was in the middle of a rage. He glanced around and said, ”Who is this old fogey? Let me clean her up as well!”

One of the two lads acknowledged and walked over to the grandma.

The Grand Matriarch didn't even bother with him and just laughed coldly a few times. With her voice that sounded like a night owl, she asked, ”Zhao Wu'er, did you forget how you managed to survive the 15th of July that year?”

Zhao Wu felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled.

He turned to the Grand Matriarch, and his face went white.

The nanny continued to giggle, but Zhao Wu instinctively took a step back. It was obvious that he was scared.

Seeing that he was in such a position, the two youngsters were also stunned, and they stood there stupefied.

The Grand Matron pointed at me and said, I want this man. You can't touch him.

Zhao Wu's face changed between a pale and a livid expression several times. Finally, he fiercely said to me, ”Brat, you're lucky. This time, I won't do anything to you.” But you must take what I want, or wait for your father's funeral.

With that, he hurriedly left with those people.

Although Zhao Wu said the last few words forcefully, I could hear that he no longer had any confidence in himself.

From the looks of it, he was extremely wary of her.

It wasn't until Zhao Wu and his men were far away that I reacted and looked at the grandma in surprise. Just what kind of method did she have to scare the domineering Zhao Wu into such a state?

I recovered from my shock and asked her, ”Aunt, why is Zhao Wu so afraid of you?”

She answered with a distant look: We've had an encounter before, and he was so impressed with it that he still remembers it.

It was like saying nothing, but she made it clear that she didn't want to say it, so I didn't ask further.

However, I have a feeling that the Grand Matriarch is also afraid of Zhao Wu. Otherwise, why would she hide in the house and not come out when Zhao Wu came to my house to make trouble yesterday?

I asked the Grand Matriarch what to do next. Zhao Quan'er was still alive, and it was clear that it was a trap set by the men.

Who said Zhao Quan'er was still alive?

I was stunned for a moment, and then I said: I told you, the one who came to your room last night was Zhao Quan'er. I saw him clearly.

The Grand Matriarch's smile became even more sinister as she said faintly, ”That's Zhao Quan'er, but who told you that he was alive last night?”

The words came out of her mouth as if squeezed out of a deep crevice, with a chill.
