The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Xiaoying, Mingzhu has disappeared, does it have anything to do with you?"

Facing the Zhong Family’s father and son duo, Zhong Ying and Pei Yang who had come to her, Zhong Ying instinctively wanted to deny any involvement, but the next words from Zhong Qing startled her.

"You’d better tell the truth now while you still can. If your cousin-in-law finds out through others that you were involved, or if you intentionally hid it, Uncle Three won’t be able to protect you then."

Desperate to absolve herself from the matter, Zhong Ying blurted out, "Cousin, I have nothing to do with it, it’s Sun Feifei! She wanted to drag me into this, but I ignored her, I never imagined she would actually go through with it."

"Where is Sun Feifei now?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t seen her since I gave her the money."

After saying this, afraid that Zhong Qing would misunderstand and think she was an accomplice, Zhong Ying hurriedly explained, "She blackmailed me for the money. The kidnapping of Shen Mingzhu has nothing to do with me; if I had known she was so crazy, I never would have dealt with her from the start."

Zhong Qing pointed a finger at her, "You’d better be telling the truth, because if anything happens to Mingzhu, I won’t let you off."

Zhong Ying’s complexion was pale with apprehension.

Having received firm information that Shen Mingzhu might have been kidnapped, Zhong Qing immediately reported the case to the police.
