Chapter 123 No comparison, no harm
Chapter 123 No comparison, no harm
"By the way! Don't you... doesn't your father have any complaints?" Jiang Mianmian asked, her face full of doubt. She really couldn't understand why this situation had occurred.
Li Tingxue slowly said, "What complaints could there be? My younger brother Xingzhou is not bad, at least he is very ambitious, isn't he!"
The prefect... He's neither good at literature nor martial arts. If he could achieve something like Shen Xiujin, that would be fine, but unfortunately, he's someone who doesn't know how to live up to expectations.
And look at my little sister, all she knows is how to squeeze more money out of our mother to buy those fancy clothes and jewelry…”
"Sigh, to be honest, some things just can't be compared. Once you start comparing them, you'll get so angry your head will explode!"
And the prefect, he's utterly clueless. Not only does he have no plans for the future, but he also spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun. Our family will probably have to rely entirely on Xingzhou from now on.”
Upon hearing this, a startling thought suddenly popped into Jiang Mianmian's mind:
Is it possible that your parents deliberately spoiled their children?
Li Tingxue was taken aback upon hearing this, and then muttered uncertainly to herself:
Uh... I don't think parents would do that, right? There are so many children in the Shen family, and they weren't even born to the same mother. I haven't seen any of them being spoiled.
Besides, we are all born of the same mother, and my parents are not stupid. How could they do such a thing?
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After a couple of dry laughs, she said, "Uh... it's good that your family is like this. At least your younger brother won't compete with Xingzhou for anything, so Xingzhou can have a little more peace of mind."
When Li Xingzhou was mentioned, his sickly wife immediately came to mind.
Immediately, Jiang Mianmian's face lit up with curiosity, and she quickly asked:
"Tingxue, how is your sister-in-law doing these days? She's been recuperating for quite some time now, has she gotten any better?"
Li Tingxue nodded gently and replied, "Her physical condition is indeed much better, but her mental state is still not very good. She will probably need to take good care of herself in the days to come."
Fortunately, she no longer mentions divorce to Xingzhou. At this point, Li Tingxue couldn't help but sigh softly, a hint of helplessness and worry flashing in her eyes.
She frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, silently thinking to herself: Actually, she didn't know what to say, even though that unpleasant thing was over.
But the harm caused by that wicked woman is like a deep scar, forever etched in the sister-in-law's heart, and it's likely that this pain will stay with her for the rest of her life...
"Yes, this is truly unavoidable! After all, even the most skilled imperial physicians in the palace are probably helpless when it comes to mental illnesses!"
"It seems that only by Xingzhou taking good care of his sister-in-law can she slowly recover..." Li Tingxue sighed.
Sigh! Absolutely! Anyone would feel terrible in such a situation.
Especially if two people truly love each other, the deeper the love, the more they will care about these past wounds.
Fortunately, your sister-in-law and brother still have a child, and that wicked woman didn't use your sister-in-law's body to have a child.
Otherwise, hehe...
Their minds must be completely blown up.
When that image suddenly flashed into Li Tingxue's mind, she felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose all over her body.
Holy crap, just thinking about it for a moment already filled her with terror and sent chills down her spine!
That's right. If we only consider blood relations, then the child is indeed the biological child of the couple.
But the child turned out to be the result of her brother's soul being with another woman. How could her sister-in-law face that child in the future?
Thinking about this...
Li Tingxue couldn't help but gasp; she couldn't even imagine it...
"Yes, besides showing them more care on a regular basis, there really doesn't seem to be any better way."
Li Tingxue thought to herself that perhaps she could use this incident to find some solace for her sister-in-law!
After all, in this farce, there's no doubt that the sister-in-law is the most miserable and pitiful one.
...Li Mansion...
At this moment, Li Xingzhou's wife stood there dumbfounded, her mouth slightly open, her face full of disbelief, silently thinking to herself: Sister-in-law, are you sure you're trying to comfort me?
Li Tingxue nodded sincerely and said, "Don't you think that the current situation is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune?"
You might try to imagine this: what if that so-called adopted son wasn't truly adopted in the traditional sense, but rather a blood relative of both her and Xingzhou…”
The picture suddenly appeared...
Ji Wanru shuddered, a chill instantly shooting up her spine, making her shiver involuntarily.
At this moment, Li Tingxue sat leisurely to the side, chewing on an apple while enthusiastically analyzing her situation to her sister-in-law.
"See if I'm right! Many times, without comparison, there is no hurt, and you won't feel such a big sense of loss, so you won't feel sad or upset."
"Look, aren't many things in this world only revealing their differences through comparison?" Li Tingxue said, taking a big bite of an apple with a crisp sound.
Ji Wanru glared at her with displeasure, and snorted in response, "Hmph, it's easy for you to talk when you're sitting here! The knife didn't touch you, so of course you can't understand that kind of pain?"
Li Tingxue didn't seem to care. She took another big bite of the apple in her hand and said, "Of course! If I were in that situation, I would definitely make a huge scene with them!"
But after all the commotion, what happens next? What will happen to my five children? Am I just supposed to walk away and abandon them?
After saying that, Li Tingxue shook her head, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and her tone became slightly more serious:
"Besides, look at you, you only had one daughter, while I had five kids!"
How could I possibly abandon my children for a wicked woman who stole my body? I simply couldn't do it.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wanru was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it, and could only remain silent.
After a while, Li Tingxue swallowed the apple in her mouth and continued, "Even if I really have to divorce Shen Xiuyan, do you think he will let me take the children with me after I leave the Shen family?"
Putting everything else aside, the bizarre and absurd concept of "body possession" is something that almost no normal person could imagine. How can you blame it all on Xingzhou?
Ji Wanru: "..."
Li Tingxue immediately raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled: "However, I'm much luckier than you. I've met such a reliable and kind mother-in-law."
Looking at you, you can only blame your bad luck and make do. After all, your mother-in-law isn't as good as mine!
"Hmph, sister-in-law, don't forget, my mother-in-law is your own mother!" Ji Wanru couldn't help but retort.
“That’s exactly why. Of course, my own mother treats me the best, and even my mother-in-law treats me the same way,” Li Tingxue said proudly.
"Go eat your food! You talk too much, you can't keep your mouth shut, can you!" Ji Wanru shouted angrily in her heart, and rolled her eyes at her again.
Seeing that she couldn't win an argument with her sister-in-law's sharp tongue, Ji Wanru simply turned her head away, pretending to have a headache, and decided not to bother with her anymore.
At this moment, Li Tingxue leaned closer and continued, "Hey! Sister-in-law, aren't you feeling particularly resentful right now? Don't you think my life is much better than yours?"
"That's right!" Ji Wanru muttered unhappily.
"Do you know what I went through before my mother-in-law awakened her superpower?"
"If the original plot continues..."
Ji Wanru looked at her with suspicion, only to see Li Tingxue slowly begin to tell her story.
As her sister-in-law's story unfolded, Ji Wanru became increasingly astonished. In the end, she couldn't help but cover her wide-open mouth with her hand, her face filled with disbelief.
Good heavens, no way? The Shen family is really in such a miserable state?
"Hehe, this isn't even the worst of it." Li Tingxue shook her head gently, a faint sadness in her eyes.
"The most tragic situation is that my mother-in-law, by her own efforts, successfully changed everyone's original fate trajectory."
However, what's truly unexpected is that our entire family might now face an even more tragic and premature death!
At this point, Li Tingxue couldn't help but sigh, and then she recounted all the entanglements between Gu Yunchen and the female assassin Wu Zhenmin.
According to Li Tingxue, this is just the first female assassin named Wu Zhenmin. As for how many more such women will appear, they don't know yet!
Upon hearing Li Tingxue's words, Ji Wanru's eyes widened instantly, her pupils dilating sharply. They hadn't even dealt with the female assassin in front of them, and there were still others behind her?!
My thunder is rolling!
What exactly is going on with the Shen family?
"Could it be that the Shen family dug up someone else's ancestral grave? Otherwise, how could they be experiencing such a series of misfortunes and disasters?"
"Ugh……"
I don’t know whether the Shen family dug up other people’s ancestral graves or not, but all I know is that my brother-in-law seems to still have doubts about the true identity of Wu Zhenmin, the female murderer.
But he doesn't completely trust our family either. Anyway, these matters are still under investigation," Li Tingxue said, shaking her head helplessly.
