Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1685

Chapter 1685: Chapter 1686: Epilogue

The news of the Zhang family’s incident also shocked the Qi family. They instinctively hid it from the two children, planning to wait for the Zhang family to announce the mourning. If they request the children to return, they would address it then.

Qi Fenglian felt very uncomfortable, her mind absent even during lunch. Before leaving, as Cheng Su helped her pack her luggage, she said, "Elder sister, have a good talk with your husband so he doesn’t feel like you’re still attached to your previous family and become awkward."

Qi Fenglian froze, saying, "He won’t. He knows how much I hate them... Anyway, I’ll talk with him."

Cheng Su nodded, worried that the man might overthink, feeling Qi Fenglian’s heart still with the previous family, which would complicate things. It’s better to lay it out and clarify.

Qi Fenglian sat down with a piece of clothing, saying, "I never thought they would die like this."

Cheng Su looked over.

"When I was first married into the family, I never bore a son and suffered much torment. The two old folks favored the youngest son and the younger sister, I didn’t complain, enduring and doing my duty. It’s not that I didn’t harbor grievances, or didn’t hate; I’ve even thought, if they died, we’d have peace and could live well." As Qi Fenglian spoke, her eyes reddened, "But thinking is one thing, I never considered poisoning or killing them; they’re humans, not chickens or ducks—how could I harm them?"

"Yes, anyone with any conscience wouldn’t be able to do that," Cheng Su remarked lightly.

"I think I understand Lai Jinlan’s mindset when she acted. Her own son suffered from a serious illness, needing money for treatment, but the old woman was still biased, which fueled her anger. Ordinary favoritism could be tolerated; however, at such a critical moment, when they couldn’t even gather enough money, yet were still distributing resources, who could endure that?" Qi Fenglian wiped her eyes, "For her son’s sake, what wouldn’t she do? If it were me... probably I’d do the same!"
