Five years ago, née Wang was one of the people involved. She was the most clear about why Li Jun had gone missing and why the three of them had been displaced. She had been despised by the Li family and looked down upon by the people of Xi Tang Village.

All of this was due to Old Madam Li.

If Old Lady Li was the stepmother, then everything she did to Li Jun could be explained. But unfortunately, she was Li Jun's mother. She had painstakingly given birth to Li Jun's mother.

Old Madam Li was fierce, much more ruthless than many people imagined.

Lady Wang fiercely cursed Old Lady Li in her heart. A woman who could disregard her own son for the sake of money really wasn't worth being pitied. It didn't matter if Li Jun had truly returned, or if he was here to seek revenge on his own mother, Old Lady Li still deserved it.

However, she was also one of the people involved, so she couldn't get away.

"Mom, don't panic. When third brother came back, did he say anything special? " If Li Jun really did return and came back for revenge, he would definitely give out some hints or leak the news.

Old Madam Li's heart was in great discomfort. Her heart was still thumping non-stop. What happened back then was still fresh in her mind. It was impossible for her to remain calm. Furthermore, after so many years had passed, she had always had nightmares about Li Jun coming back for her life. Today, she saw Li Jun return as if she had seen a ghost. She said it was impossible to be afraid!

Old Lady Wang saw that the color of Old Lady Li's face had faded and she had yet to recover from her shock. She was anxious in her heart and her emotions fluctuated, "Mother, what are you afraid of? Could it be that he dares to say it out loud? "

Even if he did say it out loud, who would believe him? Who would believe that a mother would force her own son to his death? No one believed it at all!

The Emperor loved his eldest son so much that the people would love him. Li Jun was the youngest son of the Li family, and since young, Old Madam Li had never mistreated him before. How could she force her son to death?

No one would believe it!

"He … What if he did? " Old Madam Li trembled uncontrollably, her heart was in turmoil, but she was still extremely afraid.

Lady Wang's heart sank as a plan flashed through her mind. With a sneer, she said, "Mother, since you're afraid that he will say what happened that year, you might as well make the first move."

Old Mrs. Li was shocked. She looked at Lady Wang and became interested in her words.

If there was such a method, why not?

LiFu was lying in his room. After a while, he didn't see Lady Wang come back, and heard Lady Wang shriek twice. He felt somewhat troubled, so he got up and went to the living room.

Mrs. Wang and Old Mrs. Li spoke too earnestly and fearfully, and they didn't even notice that Li Fu had overheard most of their conversation. Only when née Wang suggested "striking first to gain the upper hand" did he step into the doorway. "What did you tell mother?"

"I …" Lady Wang's face turned pale with shock.

Was there already a fourth person who knew about this matter?

The Yang family knew about this, and she also knew that the Yang family knew about it. Because of this, she even contributed a third of the money when Old Lady Li used it to gag Yang family.

She originally thought that other than the dead Li Jun, there wouldn't be a fourth person who would know about this.

"Ah Fu, you … When did you get here? You... You heard... "How much?" When Old Madam Li saw Lady Wang's reaction and turned her head, she was once again shocked.

Li Fu only heard the latter half of the sentence. He had no idea that Li Jun had actually appeared alive. After all, when they were in the forest last time, Li Jun didn't say much and then disappeared without a trace. They all thought that person was just similar to Li Jun. He didn't hear those in front of him, but he saw that Old Lady Li and Lady Wang were both surprised. They must have been hiding something from him.

"Mom, I heard what I should have and what I shouldn't have!"

Li Fu's reply was rather skillful. Although he said it, he didn't say it, but as a guilty conscience, he was most afraid of others keeping him in suspense. With his words, Old Lady Li immediately said in panic, "Listen to my explanation."

Hm?

Li Fu looked honest and sincere, but his heart was not. "Okay, Mother, explain. I'll listen." After saying that, he sat down.

Lady Wang always felt that Li Fu was a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange about him. She could only let old lady Li explain the whole story.

The truth was even more frightening and terrifying than the truth that he knew!

Old Mrs. Li's face was pale and her eyes were downcast. Her gaze was emotionless, but her voice was filled with hatred as she spoke of the past. Yes, she hated him!

She would never forget that woman, nor would she ever forget the pain she had suffered that year!

What LiFu heard at the beginning was that he was already quite a few years old. He still had some memories, so his mood didn't fluctuate at all. But the more he listened, the more he realized that five years ago, he had suddenly raised his head and looked at Old Madam Li in shock. His quivering lips were unable to utter a single word.

Originally …

"Ah Fu, Mom knows that you will definitely think that Mom has no conscience, but if Mom had no conscience, he would have already starved to death, frozen to death, or been beaten to death by me. Why would he spend money to buy a wife for him to have children?" After Old Lady Li finished narrating the truth of the matter, her entire being relaxed. When she spoke, she once again carried a bit of vigor.

She was right!

What was wrong with her?

Although Li Fu's conscience was not good, and he treated his nephew and niece very badly, and had ill intentions towards his sister-in-law, but he would never do such a cruel thing to his brother Li Jun.

However, his mother …

Li Fu could not say what he was feeling. He could only feel a dull feeling in his heart. His mood was very low, and he could not feel comfortable.

"Her father, don't be silly. Solving this problem now is the proper thing to do." If he didn't get rid of Li Jun as soon as possible, when would Wen Xiu's potato powder business be in her hands? Half a tael of silver a day, ah, née Wang felt jealous just thinking about it.

"That debt collector has come back to seek revenge on me!"

Old Madam Li spat out these words through gritted teeth. Every word was filled with deep hatred.

Li Fu came back to his senses. He looked at Lady Wang and asked with a heavy voice, "So, you gave your mother a rotten idea and told her to go find Third Brother on her own accord?"

"What's a rotten idea?" Old Lady Li took the initiative to tell Li Fu about this matter. Lady Wang wasn't afraid, so she immediately rebutted, "I have a good plan. At least the villagers will stand by our side, and believe what Mother said."

That was true. Didn't the reputation of Wenxiu spread like this?

However, Li Fu knew that Li Jun wasn't Wen Xiu, not even from a young age. It was just that his mother didn't know!

Li Jun stared at Wang Shi, withdrew her gaze and looked at Old Mrs. Li, "Mother, if you believe me, don't do anything, just let nature take its course."

Old Lady Li was worried, "But …"

"Mom, believe me. If third brother really comes back alive, he'll quickly take the initiative to visit us!"
