it was su hanbo's reaction that encouraged lotus to believe that su hanbo was beginning to care about his. she was one step closer to becoming the first wife of the su clan.

the moment she had been closest to the first wife was when she found out that the accident that night had actually gotten her pregnant.

at that time, she was wild with joy, wishing that she could tell su hanbo this news in the next second.

but soon, she calmed down. after staying in the su clan for such a long time, she was very clear that if she wanted to become the su clan's daughter-in-law, just her child was definitely not enough.

at the very least, before the child was born, with the old master of the su clan's methods, it was very likely that in order to not accept her, he would have made the child disappear.

thus, she decided to just keep it a secret. when the child was born, it would be impossible for the su clan to deny it.

the old gramps couldn't just make the child disappear after coming to this world, that would be murder.

she had originally planned to cross the sea with bai ci - hui so she could leave her job and return to the countryside to wait for the birth of a child.

but he didn't expect that the news of her pregnancy would be unintentionally found out by su hanbo.

what made her heart cold was, not only did su hanbo not have any feelings for this child, he didn't even have half a second of hesitation as he directly took her to the hospital and sent her to the operation room.

her child was gone, and su hanbo had given her a sum of money to get her to leave, but how could she be willing?

she wanted to stay, to take revenge on the fickle su hanbo and the benevolence that made her jealous.

what was laughable was that in the end, su hanbo had found another woman outside and even wanted to divorce bai ci for that woman.

only at that moment did she understand that when su hanbo betrayed her, it was not because he loved her and was kind to her, but because he had never had her in his heart. bai ci hui was just a shield he used to reject her.

when she thought of her innocent dead child, she felt furious. she couldn't let sukhambo and that vixen die if they wanted to elope, so she wanted them to die together.

with peng ruohui by his side, he had witnessed his journey from youth to middle age.

he had originally loved his wife, and even after what had happened between her and su hanbo, he had never given up. he still wanted to marry her.

however, aunt lian's heart was higher than the heavens. she fantasized about marrying into a rich family, so she used the excuse that she was tainted by others and had no face to marry him, peng ruohui, as an excuse to reject his proposal.

peng ruohui saw everything, but could not reveal it.

he knew that sister lian needed self-respect. as a servant, she had always felt inferior in her heart. all these years, although she had gone from being a personal maid to becoming the head housekeeper of the su clan, her sense of inferiority had never lessened.

in front of bai ci hui, she was always the one who was ordered to do what she did.

the only thing he could do was to let her always have someone to pour out her heart to when she was tired and wronged in this lonely mansion.

however, he also knew in his heart that whatever he'd done might never move her.

her heart had long since been clouded by hatred, and she could no longer see anything clearly.

"ah lian, what do you want to do? i can't control you, but there is one thing i want to remind you of. the people are doing it, the heavens are looking at it, and the heavens have eyes. don't hurt innocent people again." since he couldn't persuade her, he could only remind her one last time.

"innocent? none of the su clan members are innocent. " she didn't believe in retribution. if the heavens really had eyes, then when the child in her stomach was forcibly taken away, then su hanbo, this heartless executioner, would be punished instead of letting her personally kill him.

peng ruohui knew that there was no point in speaking any further. he could only sigh at her with a face full of disappointment, and said, "the reason i sought you out today was actually to tell you that my mother is old and her health has been declining recently. i might not be able to continue working in the su family. all these years, i have spent half my life here, but i haven't been able to filial piety in front of her bed. i think, in my mother's last days, i will guard her. "

when sister lian heard this, she was stunned. "brother hui …" you... are you leaving? left me alone? didn't you say that you would guard me for the rest of your life? "

"yeah, i want to stay with you for the rest of my life. i want to bring you away, but can you?" peng ruohui looked at his sister-in-law pa.s.sionately, as if waiting for her answer.

"i …" aunt lian opened her mouth and said, "i still have things to do. give me some time. wait for me …"

peng ruohui naturally knew what she was going to do. without waiting for her to finish, he waved his hand, "i can wait, but my mother can't. what you have to do is better not to let me know that i don't want to be a sinner. "

after saying that, his gaze fell on the three pots of orchids at the side of the garden. "these are the three pots that you loved the most before you died. although madam hates you, but these three pots of orchids have been under your care all these years, do you think that madam's hatred is smaller than yours?" but why was she still willing to take care of his most beloved before he died? because love is deeper than hate. i think it's because you love him so much that you can't get over your hatred for him all these years. "

"no, i'm not. you're talking nonsense. how could i love him? that murderer, he killed my son. " having her heart pierced by peng ruohui's words, sister lian found it hard to accept the situation, causing her to become angry out of embarra.s.sment.

"if you don't want to admit it, then pretend i didn't say anything. this is the last time i'll talk to you. i will leave tomorrow. you must think carefully tonight, and be willing to put down everything. we will leave together tomorrow. " peng ruohui was at his wit's end, and didn't want to say anything more. he raised his hand to pat aunt lian's shoulder, turned around, and left the garden.

sister lian stood in place for a long time, unable to recover.

did she love su hanbo?

no, that heartless man had betrayed her and even killed her child, how could she still love him?

she only hated him, she wanted revenge!

if he killed her child, then his son wouldn't be able to live either!

in the study room, bundles of students were locked up by su chen because they were bullying little kids.

looking at the white wall, the little guy who was tired from crying felt a wave of sleepiness. .h.i.t him. his head tilted to the side and he fell asleep on the floor.

when su chen hao came in and was prepared to give him a good ideological lesson, he saw him lying on the ground, drooling and sleeping soundly. su chen felt both angry and amused at the same time.

she wanted to wake him up and teach him a lesson, but seeing his red, crying face, she couldn't bear it anymore.

he placed him on the sofa and covered him with his coat. forget it, he would teach him a lesson when he woke up.

he was reading a book at his desk when his cell phone suddenly rang. the call was from qiu ye. when he answered the phone, he heard his excited voice, "ceo, the driver found the source of the trouble."

"what?" "where is it?" when su chen hao heard this, his expression turned cold and he quickly asked.

"it was found by the second young master's men. they have already taken control of him. in a house in the old city, i am currently driving over to pick you up. let's go there together."

"alright." after su chen hao finished speaking, he hung up the phone and got up to leave.
