My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 410: Chapter 413 Wang Clan’s Calculation_1

Wang Clan, noticing it was still early, made her way to Tan Zhenghong’s house.

This was her first time seeing Tan Zhenghong’s new house, and unpleasant emotions immediately welled up inside her.

The new house, with its gray bricks and black tiles, was grand and imposing, inciting envy in those who saw it.

If it weren’t for Tan Zhenghong divorcing her in his heart, she would have been able to stay here for a few days.

She would have stayed for a few days then brought Xiao Fu over, and later, arranged for her second son’s family to join them, creating a truly joyful gathering.

She had almost bled to death giving birth to Tan Zhenghong, and her second son had cracked his forehead open, so she’d always seen Tan Zhenghong as a jinx and had simply given him away to be raised by another family.

It was only after seeing him able to make money that she brought him back.

She had never treated Tan Zhenghong well all these years, yet he had never had any complaints and had been absolutely obedient to her.

But just after he had married, he made a fuss about not acknowledging his parents.

So it must have been Qiao Duo’er who whispered poison into his ear!

Hmph, that vixen, now she had to knock on the door before entering her own son’s house.

The door was opened by Tan Zhenghong, who said indifferently, "Mother, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

Wang Clan glanced inside and quickly shook her head, "I won’t come in. I just came to tell you that there’s a leak in that room of yours. Better go and tidy up tomorrow, lest your things get moldy."

"Alright, I’ll check it out tomorrow," Tan Zhenghong replied, as it happened he had been planning to do so.

Wang Clan glanced inside again, nervously saying, "I’ll be heading back first."

Tan Zhenghong gave a bitter smile; how could he not understand his mother’s intentions?

Did she really think she could drive a wedge between him and his wife like this?

Such wishful thinking!

In his heart, there was only one person whose life mattered more to him than his own—his wife.

Wang Clan walked slowly, waiting the whole time for Tan Zhenghong to call her back, especially as it was almost mealtime; he should at least invite her to stay for dinner.

Unfortunately, no sound came from behind even after she reached her own house.

Alas, her son was raised in vain; once they’re grown up, they all belong to their wives, who remembers their old mothers?

The next day, Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er went to the old Tan family estate together.

Having not returned for more than ten days, a layer of ash had settled on the outdoor stove, giving it an air of desolation, and both felt a sense of nostalgia.

Tan Zhenghong had lived there since he returned to the Tan family at the age of eight.

Qiao Duo, after crossing over to a different world, had opened her eyes to find herself there, making it the place she was most familiar with.

The two had gone from strangers to acquaintances, from acquaintances to love, and finally decided to spend their lives together in that place, each moment deeply etched in their memories.

They had once been eager to escape, but no one could deny that the place held a different meaning for each of them.

The couple stood in front of the house for a while before opening the door and entering.

Just as they were sorting out the useful items, the courtyard door was slammed with thuds.

"Tan Zhengyuan, come out here!"

"Open the door now, or I’ll break down your courtyard door!"

Wang Clan, fearing the door might be damaged, hurriedly opened it; after all, Tan Zhenghong was inside, and that made her feel safe.

This was the real reason she had told Tan Zhenghong to come and get the things yesterday—otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so kind-hearted.

As soon as the door was opened, Widow Xú burst in with a group of people.

Following her were members of her maternal family, including her brothers and sisters, and even her sisters had come to support her.

The siblings of the Xú family were not close, and there had been little contact over the years, but blood was thicker than water, and a little bribe had brought them all together.

Pointing to the east wing, Widow Xú said, "Brother, Tan Zhengyuan is staying in the east wing. Let’s go find him."
