Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Wenrou opened the note, which had an address written on it. It should be the place where Aunt Song used to live.

She watched Peng Shao's departing figure, and was just about to call out to him when she saw Zhou Chunmei running over anxiously.

When Zhou Chunmei learned that Peng Shao was leaving, she was unwilling to accept it. When she learned that he had come to see Wenrou, she came looking for him.

She saw him give Wenrou a note, and without a doubt, the note contained what she wanted.

She never expected Peng Shao to be so trusting and gentle.

I've been going to help them a lot these past few days, but I still can't get him to believe me. Why is that?

"Brother Peng, are you leaving?" Zhou Chunmei asked, blocking Peng Shao's way.

Peng Shao looked at Zhou Chunmei in front of him, his expression unchanged, but his tone was even colder, "What is it?"

"Brother Peng, do you really believe in Wenrou that much? You must know very well what her purpose was in deliberately getting close to my godmother. Not long after, my godmother passed away. I suspect that her death was related to Wenrou."

Zhou Chunmei glanced at Wenrou, feeling resentful that all the good things seemed to favor Wenrou, even though she had also made so many efforts.

"Is what you're saying true?" Peng Shao's expression changed slightly when he heard Zhou Chunmei mention her mother's death.

Knowing Wenrou as he did, he certainly didn't believe she would do such a thing.

However, since Zhou Chunmei brought it up, there must be something fishy about it.

"It's true, I swear. I know that bitch Wenrou better than anyone else. She seduced my older brother first, and when she was about to marry him, she slept with a stranger and got pregnant with his child. Now she's seducing Commander Huo. Don't be fooled by her."

Zhou Chunmei was furious when she talked about this.

"You mean Wenrou is pregnant with another man's child?" This was the first time Peng Shao had heard of this.

No wonder Wenrou said before that Huo Yanchuan was infertile, but she was pregnant?

So the child in her belly isn't Huo Yanchuan's?

"Words are meaningless. If you have any evidence, please provide it. Otherwise, I cannot believe you."

Peng Shao looked at Zhou Chunmei with a somewhat gloomy expression, especially after hearing her call Wenrou a "bitch" repeatedly, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Brother Peng, give me some time, I will produce the evidence." Zhou Chunmei said firmly, as if she had truly seen through the process of Wenrou killing Song Yuqiu.

Peng Shao glanced in the direction of Wenrou, and then went back with Zhou Chunmei.

Wenrou had no idea what Zhou Chunmei and Peng Shao had said, but judging from her expression, she was probably trying to frame her again.

She knew that Peng Shao wasn't someone who was easily fooled; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the future richest man.

How could someone who has made it in the business world have such a simple mind?

Wenrou didn't chase after him; she turned around and went straight back to the family compound.

Meanwhile, Peng Xiaowan also learned that Song Yuqiu had been murdered.

Hearing Zhou Chunmei recount Wenrou's past, she asked with some skepticism, "Chunmei, is everything you're saying true? But how could Xiaorou possibly be like that?"

"Xiao Wan, you're just too naive. That's why you were fooled by Wenrou, and so was Brother Peng. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around and see if what I'm saying is true."

Even though Zhou Chunmei said that, Peng Xiaowan still subconsciously chose to believe Wenrou.

Also, she had heard some things about Zhou Chunmei these past few days.

Although she had previously expressed sympathy for Zhou Chunmei after hearing about her own experiences, it now seemed that things were not so simple.

She also heard that Zhou Chunmei had drugged her uncle and aunt in order to scheme against Wenrou and her current husband.

She originally intended to expose Zhou Chunmei to her face, but seeing her elder brother's intention, she still wanted to give her a chance, so she didn't say anything more.

"Chunmei, thank you for reminding me. I will be careful."

Zhou Chunmei was overjoyed to see that Peng Xiaowan believed her and that Peng Shao's attitude towards her had also improved.

Seeing that she was about to achieve her goal, Zhou Chunmei was even more excited.

Of course she knew how Song Yuqiu died; it was because she had told Guo Qiang the secret hidden behind the pocket watch.

Guo Qiang is a man who loves to steal and do other petty things. Not only that, he also likes to drink and beat people. Ever since she married him, she hasn't had a single day without being beaten by him.

She'd had enough of this kind of life.

She considered reporting Guo Qiang, but even if Guo Qiang was arrested, she would have no one to back her up, and life would not be easy for her alone in the village.

Now that's good, if Peng Shao can back her up, she might be able to leave this place with him.

At that time, with Song Yuqiu's relationship, as time goes on, if the two of them develop feelings for each other, anything is possible.

Judging from his clothes, he must be very rich. If I could marry him, it would only be a matter of time before I could enjoy a life of luxury.

Now the opportunity has come. She not only wants to send Guo Qiang to jail, but also wants to drag Wenrou into it, so that she loses the trust of the Peng family.

"Brother, do you believe Xiaorou would do anything to hurt Auntie?" Peng Xiaowan asked Peng Shao with some uncertainty.

Peng Shao didn't rush to answer. He stared at Peng Xiaowan for a while before asking, "And you, do you believe Xiaorou?"

"Of course, I know Xiaorou is definitely not what she said," Peng Xiaowan replied immediately and decisively.

Seeing this, Peng Shao smiled and said, "Yeah, you don't believe me? Do you think your brother is someone who's so easily fooled?"

Hearing Peng Shao say this, Peng Xiaowan felt relieved.

That evening, Peng Xiaowan made a special trip to see Wenrou and told her everything that Zhou Chunmei had told them earlier that day.

"Zhou Chunmei said I killed Aunt Song?" Wenrou sneered after hearing this.

Thinking back to what Zhou Chunmei had said to Peng Shao that afternoon, she noticed his expression change.

She had been wondering, but now everything became clear.

She had initially suspected that Song Da Niang's matter might be related to Zhou Chunmei, but now she was certain.

"What are you and your brother planning to do?" she asked gently.

Peng Xiaowan was worried that Wenrou had misunderstood her, so she hurriedly explained, "Xiaorou, don't worry, no matter what Zhou Chunmei says, my brother and I believe you."

Wenrou certainly knew, otherwise Peng Xiaowan wouldn't have come looking for her now.

It's normal for an ordinary person to have doubts when faced with something like this.

What she didn't expect was that she had only known Peng Shao and the others for a few days, yet they trusted her so much, which touched her.

"My brother must know what's going on in this matter. Let's wait and see what Zhou Chunmei is really up to."

With Wenrou's understanding of Zhou Chunmei, she wasn't worried at all that Zhou Chunmei would cause any big trouble; at most, she would just end up shooting herself in the foot.

She was originally thinking about how to get Zhou Chunmei to admit that she killed Aunt Song, and now the opportunity has come.

When Huo Yanchuan returned, Wenrou told him about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanchuan's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "I'll take care of this."

She had just come out of the hospital and hadn't fully recovered, so Huo Yanchuan didn't want her to do all that.

With Huo Yanchuan around, Wenrou certainly doesn't need to worry about anything.

As expected, Zhou Chunmei came to the door early the next morning.

She held a letter in her hand. It was this letter that had prompted Song Yuqiu to chase after Guo Qiang, which led to her being shoved and falling to the ground, ultimately resulting in her death.

"Brother Peng, I found this in Guo Qiang's pocket. It has my godmother's name on it. I can testify that it was Wenrou who leaked this letter, which gave Guo Qiang the opportunity to kill my godmother."

Zhou Chunmei blamed Song Yuqiu's death on Wenrou and Guo Qiang, her face filled with sorrow as she spoke.

"My godmother was so good to Wenrou back then, telling her everything. How could she kill her godmother for her own selfish desires?"

Peng Shao looked at the letter in Zhou Chunmei's hand; it was the first time he had ever seen this letter.

However, judging from the dates above, it's been a long time.

This letter was written when his parents first met. He remembered that his mother had a wooden box containing some envelopes, and this letter must be one of them.

Therefore, Guo Qiang mistakenly believed that the secret hidden behind the pocket watch was in this letter. Seeing how much his mother treasured the letter, he harbored evil intentions.

Thinking of this, Peng Shao's face immediately darkened.

He looked at Zhou Chunmei with a cold gaze and asked seriously, "Although I am very grateful that you took out this letter, I will investigate whether it was you or Wenrou who revealed the secret behind the pocket watch to Guo Qiang."

Upon hearing Peng Shao's words, Zhou Chunmei hurriedly explained, "No...you've misunderstood. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

Just then, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan appeared at the door. Behind them, Guo Qiang had already been taken into custody by the police.

"Zhou Chunmei, what else do you have to say? Guo Qiang has already admitted that you gave him the idea to steal. You've also seen Aunt Song's wooden box, haven't you? If it weren't for you, Aunt Song wouldn't have died. So the one who is truly guilty is you."

His gentle gaze fell coldly on Zhou Chunmei, giving her no chance to resist or argue.

"You...you guys, it was clearly you who killed my godmother, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Chunmei's face showed obvious panic when she saw that the truth had been exposed, but she still refused to admit it.

She looked at Peng Shao beside her and hurriedly explained, "Brother Peng, you have to believe me. I would never harm my godmother. Please don't believe what that bitch Wenrou is saying. She's trying to harm me."

Peng Shao's face grew even uglier. He looked at Zhou Chunmei coldly and said, "If you have something to say, you'd better go explain it to the police."

Zhou Chunmei couldn't believe it. Peng Shao, who had been more friendly to her yesterday, had become so cold today.

Undeterred, she glanced at Peng Xiaowan beside her and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.

"Xiao Wan... Xiao Wan, you have to believe me. I would never kill my godmother. Please help me. You're the only one who can help me now."

She had told Peng Xiaowan everything about her situation before, and Peng Xiaowan felt so sorry for her and even said she would help her.

Besides, she's been coming over every day these past few days, and she thinks she and Peng Xiaowan have a pretty good relationship. At this point, Peng Xiaowan certainly wouldn't abandon her.

Just as Zhou Chunmei placed all her hopes on Peng Xiaowan, she saw Peng Xiaowan's face darken. She raised her hand and slapped Zhou Chunmei hard across the face.

"Zhou Chunmei, you killed my aunt, and you still want me to help you? Dream on."

Peng Xiaowan now only regrets that she was blind back then and thought Zhou Chunmei was a good person.

I never imagined she was such a vicious person.

Fortunately, we managed to cut our losses in time.

"Xiao Wan...you..." Zhou Chunmei covered her face, looking at Peng Xiaowan in disbelief.

Only then did she realize that it was all a scheme orchestrated by the Peng family and Wenrou, with the aim of harming her.

"You...you all..."

She looked at everyone present, and finally her gaze fell on Wenrou.

She knew she had truly lost this time, so, unwilling to give up, she lunged at Wenrou.

"Wenrou, you bitch, why did you hurt me? That was clearly something my godmother left me, what right do you have to take it from me?"

She couldn't understand why she always lost to Wenrou.

She's already ruined herself to this state, and you still won't let her go?

Wenrou looked at Zhou Chunmei, who seemed to have gone mad, and her expression changed slightly.

Just then, a large hand blocked her way.

Huo Yanchuan frowned, raised his foot, and kicked Zhou Chunmei away hard.

Zhou Chunmei's body fell heavily to the ground, and she was eventually subdued by the police officers behind her.

"Wenrou, I have no grudge against you, why did you hurt me like this?" Zhou Chunmei still hasn't realized her mistake.

"Zhou Chunmei, I never intended to harm you. On the contrary, you are not only filthy-minded, but you are also always thinking of harming others. Aunt Song really treated you like her own daughter, but what did you do? You coveted her things and killed her for your own selfish desires."

Wenrou looked coldly at Zhou Chunmei, thinking of what she had suffered in her past life. She realized that Zhou Chunmei had brought this upon herself and had no one else to blame.

The more glamorous Zhou Chunmei was in her past life, trampling on her blood and flesh, the more miserable she is now; this is her retribution.

Even as Zhou Chunmei was being dragged away, she kept cursing Wenrou.

Even after dealing with Zhou Chunmei, Wenrou didn't feel particularly relieved; instead, she felt a tightness in her chest.

If she had been more careful back then, perhaps Aunt Song wouldn't have died.

Now that the murderer who killed Aunt Song has been caught, Peng Shao can leave with peace of mind.

Before leaving, however, he walked over to Wenrou, took out a red envelope from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"I don't know when I'll be back next time, so consider this red envelope a gift for the baby in your belly."

Wenrou looked at the thick red envelope and was about to refuse when Huo Yanchuan accepted it.

"Then I'll thank his uncle on behalf of the child."

Huo Yanchuan's words also signified Wenrou's acceptance of Peng Shao's role as the eldest brother.

With this new identity, he probably won't have any other thoughts about Wenrou anymore.

Peng Shao smiled at Huo Yanchuan, knowing that the man was petty, and didn't say anything. He just reached out and patted Huo Yanchuan's shoulder. As the eldest brother and cousin, he entrusted his family to Huo Yanchuan's care for the time being.
