Chapter 176: Chapter 12 Heart Disease_2

"She’s not just any sister; she’s our Shoulv’s wife," Han Shouzhen said with a face full of joy.

"Shoulv?" Zheng Cuicui was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes and said, "Are you saying Shoulv!?"

Han Shouzhen nodded, her expression extremely proud.

The existence of Han Shoulv might be a puzzle to others, but not to Zheng Cuicui, who had long been destined by Gu Fangwei to be the daughter-in-law. When Zheng Cuicui was little, Gu Fangwei would often take her to the countryside to play. At that time, Han Shoulv had just been born, and she had held and played with him.

"You mean Shoulv has been found?" Zheng Cuicui excitedly sat up and, grabbing Han Shouzhen’s arm, said, "You’re not just trying to make me Happy, are you?"

"Why would I try to make you Happy?" Han Shouzhen curled her lip and said, "Doesn’t the child look like Shoulv?"

Saying so, Han Shouzhen lifted Little Niangao up.

Zheng Cuicui examined him closely for a while, nodding with tears in her eyes, "He does, he does; he looks exactly like Shoulv."

"Now do you believe it?" Han Shouzhen said, "This is Shoulv’s own son."

Zheng Cuicui’s eyes were already blurred with tears, "Shouzhen, are you telling the truth, this is Shoulv’s son?"

"Could there be a fake version?" Han Shouzhen herself was a bit puzzled. Was her sister-in-law getting too excited?

Although she didn’t consider her sister-in-law an outsider, logically speaking, since Shoulv was just her younger brother-in-law, even if he had been found, she shouldn’t be this elated, should she?

Even Lin Xiaoguai found it odd. Was her own husband that important?

For Zheng Cuicui, however, it was as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and she felt as if she had been saved.

Everyone thought she was brooding over the loss of the son, which was why she was suffering from insomnia and had driven herself to such a state, but how could it be that simple?

The son was gone, and she was heartbroken, but she would have grieved enough at the outset. Although she might never have gotten over it completely, it wouldn’t mean that she was incessantly fixated on it.

What truly troubled her, particularly after giving birth to her daughter, was not that Nuonuo was a girl—she didn’t despise her for being a girl—but her husband was to inherit the Han Family, and without a son, wouldn’t that just play into the hands of certain people?

Not to mention that Shouxin was in the military, and they couldn’t have a second child. The doctors had told her she couldn’t have any children other than Nuonuo.

Especially since Han Shouyi had a son, if she had no son, even if Shouxin inherited the Han Family, wouldn’t it ultimately benefit Liu Yuzhi’s family in the end?

Thinking about how her husband was striving for others made her feel as if her heart was being cut with a knife, bleeding profusely.

Deep down, she harbored a thought: if she were to die, could her husband remarry and father a son to inherit the Han Family?

She knew her husband’s character and wasn’t worried that the daughter would be mistreated by a stepmother after her. What concerned her more was that after she and her husband passed away, the Han Family would fall into the hands of Liu Yuzhi’s family, with her daughter having no siblings and lacking the support of a maternal family. She also worried that Liu Yuzhi’s group would not spare Nuonuo, causing her to live a life devoid of peace.

And now, with the younger brother-in-law Han Shoulv found, and most importantly, accompanied by a son, a direct nephew of her husband, how could she not be excited?

She knew how much effort the mother-in-law had put in to preserve the inheritance for her children. If all that became the dowry for someone else, how could she face her mother-in-law after death?

The excitement in her heart made Zheng Cuicui lose control, holding Han Shouzhen’s hand as she cried, "It’s wonderful, I don’t have to worry about Shouxin’s lifelong efforts benefiting outsiders."

Han Shouzhen was taken aback, then it dawned on her. She widened her eyes and said, "Is that what you’ve been worrying about all this time, sister-in-law?"

Zheng Cuicui nodded, her voice choked with sobs, "You don’t know how afraid I was that all of the Han Family’s possessions would end up in the hands of Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei. I don’t care about the money, nor whether Nuonuo lives a life of luxury, but I couldn’t bear to see my own money benefiting our enemies!"

Towards the end, her trembling voice was full of hatred.

Lin Xiaoguai furrowed her brows, while Han Shouzhen’s face turned cold, "What do you mean by that, sister-in-law?"

"At this point, I’ve got nothing to hide." Zheng Cuicui cried inconsolably, "When I lost the first child, I just thought I was weak, but after I finally stabilized the pregnancy, then that accident happened, I started harboring doubts. Especially..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "When I was pregnant, all the household chores were done by Dong Fei. When I slipped down the stairs, I clearly felt something extremely slippery underfoot, but when I asked you to look afterwards, you said there was nothing wrong with the floor where the stairs were. I was taken to the hospital at that time, and when I returned, I couldn’t find the shoes I was wearing that day. But later, I overheard Liu Yuzhi casually mentioning to Dong Fei, ’Save the oil, don’t spill it like last time.’ And once, I heard Longlong whining to Dong Fei for fried mantou slices; she refused, saying it wasted too much oil, and Longlong retorted, ’Mom, you smeared oil on the floor but won’t fry me mantou slices.’ If it were just that, I might not have been suspicious, but at that time, Dong Fei looked panicked and even covered Longlong’s mouth."

"With these doubts, I tried to find the fetus-preserving medicine I took before the first miscarriage, but although I clearly remembered where I placed it, it was nowhere to be found."

Zheng Cuicui bit her lip and said, "I couldn’t find any evidence, but just these things alone were enough to make me suspect that my two children were murdered."

Lin Xiaoguai hadn’t expected to uncover such a secret during a simple hospital visit, and didn’t know how to react, while Han Shouzhen was furious, "Sister-in-law, why didn’t you say anything about this sooner?"

"What good would it have done to speak up? Without evidence, speaking out might have even led to Dong Fei framing me instead, and even if I had won out, without a son, what would have been the point? It’s just my bad luck; after going through a life-and-death struggle, I still gave birth to a girl. At that time, I was desperate, feeling like a sinner in the Han Family..."

Zheng Cuicui was preoccupied with pouring out her heart, unaware of the expression on Han Shouzhen’s face. (To be continued.
