rich, and a widow.The young masters of the capital city were unable to contain their excitement and eagerness. They desperately sought ways to find out more, trying every means to uncover information...Mu had completely lost his appetite for breakfast. He couldn't just let Hu Ailan keep him trapped at home.

At this time, Zong Yu walked in. As soon as Hu Ai Lan saw him, her eyes lit up.

But Zong Yu never looked at her properly.

He walked straight up to Mu's face, "Mother, I want to take her to Sunjia Village."

Hearing the three words "Sunjia Village," Hu Ailan was clearly taken aback. The husband she had eloped with and married years ago lived in Sunjia Village, where his name was Sun Gui.

"What are you doing at Sunjia Village" Mu shi asked in confusion.

Didn't Hu Ai Lan say last night that everyone from Sun Jia Cun had already left

Zongyu said with a blank expression, "Find someone and ask for the truth."

Children are innocent, since he can't produce evidence that Dong'er is not his biological child, then find the evidence.

Hu Ai-lan has been married into the Sun family for several years now. If what she says is true, and Dong'er is his child, then he must have been born prematurely.

Hu Ailan wants to disguise Dong'er as Sun Gui's child, so she definitely has to hide his true birth month.

As for the current situation in Sunjiacun, we can't just rely on what Hu Ailan says. She says whatever she wants, and it might not be true. If there are still people living in the village, ask them and you'll find out the child's real birth month.

If the child was born full-term, it would prove impossible that he could be the father. If not, then find more evidence. I am 100% certain that Dong'er could never be his child.

He will definitely bring the evidence to his wife's face, so that she can completely dispel her doubts in her heart and calm down.

Mu shi thought it was possible, after all, this was a big deal.

"Alright, then take her with you."

Zong Bai was afraid that this woman would cause trouble again if she traveled alone with the eldest brother, and also to avoid suspicion, he hurriedly said.

"I'll go with my big brother."

Mu nodded.

Hu Ailan, who was standing nearby, had already started panicking. "No, I don't want to go back to Sunjia Village. I barely escaped from the village, and I won't go back."

She cried out loudly, pleading with Zongyu not to send her back.

She was mentioning all the ways Sun Gui had been unkind to her over the years, hoping Zong Yu would feel some sympathy.

“All he said in reply was a cold, “What’s it to you”

Hu Ailan gritted her teeth. She never expected that after all these years, this man would still be so ruthless. No matter how hard she tried, Zong Yu never showed her the slightest bit of mercy or sympathy.

At the beginning, saying that all the people from Sunjia Village had already left was just an indirect way of telling the Zong family that she had nowhere else to go.

After the drought, some people from Sunjia Village did indeed leave their homes and move elsewhere to escape hardship. However, it's not true that the entire village was deserted.

The moment she left, her true colors were revealed.

Then Hu Ailan changed her strategy and hurriedly stood up.

"Brother Zong Yu! I know that Fang Jie is now in your heart, and there's no room for others. I'm really not here to steal her away from you. I know I've caused trouble for both of you, and I can leave."

Zongyu was truly surprised to hear her actually say she wanted to leave. Just a while ago, she had begged them desperately, even kneeling in his home all night with a thick face, refusing to leave, wasn't it all just to stay

How could this be so easy to say goodbye.

“You have a little self-awareness at least. There's no place for you in our family.” Zong Bai said angrily.

"Mu's also followed suit, persuading Hu Ai Lan, 'Take the money and leave. Perhaps you'll find a way to survive.'"

Her expression was one of reluctance. Hu Ai-lan quickly said, "Aunt Mu, what happened back then was my fault, but Dong'er is innocent. We can't let the child suffer with me."

"I can leave, but please keep Dong'er. Be sure to treat him well."

Mu Shi had indeed intended to do so. She nodded, and Hu Ai Lan readily agreed to leave. Mu Shi felt a pang of discomfort instead.

With her departure, whether she could survive until the drought ended was unknown. Dong'er would then truly be without a real mother.

Fāng Jǐnxiù finished breakfast and walked out, just to see Hú ilán carrying a bag from the front door.

She was still a little surprised and turned to look at Zong Yu.

"How did she leave so easily"

Before his elder brother could speak, Zong Bai hurriedly spoke up for him, "Sister-in-law, you really missed a sight! Your brother-in-law was so imposing and valiant."

He said he wanted to take Hu Ailan to Sunjia Village to ask people about the truth of the matter, and she ran away in fright.

A person with guilty conscience and full of lies will naturally not be able to withstand scrutiny.

"Wow, that's amazing!"e send them over later.""Peace is a secret here, something that mustn't be revealed to outsiders. So I can't arrange for servants to look after you either.""This house I've looked at, besides having m...
