The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Indeed, the whole of Beijing knows about their divorce. There hasn’t been a precedent of divorce among the prestigious families in Beijing, and theirs is the first case, naturally attracting a lot of attention.

"Is there really no hope left?" He couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Youyou remained silent; she considered herself a professional doctor, and she’d rather not engage in deceiving others if she could avoid it.

Everyone knows that you dote on Du Concubine, and compared to Second Sister-in-law, her life is deemed more valuable. Therefore, everyone rushed to rescue Du Concubine, and that’s how Second Sister-in-law missed the critical moment to be saved."

Jie Second Young Master clenched his fists, his voice heavy, "Then how did they end up in the water?"

"That..." Xie Qinyun smiled and said, "I’m afraid my account of the event might differ from what Du Concubine says. To be fair, I think it’s best to wait for Father to return, and then I can tell the story together with Du Concubine. Oh, right, and Cuiya too; today’s incident is very peculiar indeed."

Jie Second Young Master was taken aback, his voice stern, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that..."

Xie Qinyun quickly interrupted him, "Hey, hey, I didn’t say anything, Second Brother. Let’s just see what Du Concubine has to say. After all, you believe whatever she says. Now that Second Sister-in-law is not going to survive, it doesn’t matter; she won’t be able to confront you anyway. Whatever you guys say will be considered the truth."
