The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 572 Confirming the Real Culprit
"By the way, Su-Fen, why did you collapse today?"

When Tong Huaqiong heard Yaozu calling for help saying that her aunt was not well, she was so anxious that when she arrived at the scene, Chen Sufeng had already been helped to sit up.

She thought Chen Sufeng's labor was premature, since it was only three to five days early, which was within the normal range. She never imagined that Chen Sufeng had been bumped in the stomach.

Take the villagers of Qinghewan, for example. Now, anyone who dares to mess with Tong Huaqiong's family will probably have to treat even the dogs that Tong Huaqiong keeps well.

After the child was born, the midwife subtly reminded Tong Huaqiong that Chen Sufeng might have been traumatized, and Tong Huaqiong felt increasingly uneasy.

She reviewed the events in her mind. Chen Sufeng was fine when she ate breakfast in the morning. After breakfast, she followed her to the weaving workshop for a walk and did not feel any discomfort at all.

There were too many people in the weaving workshop, so Tong Huaqiong sent Chen Sufeng home first because she was afraid she would get tired. Could something have happened in such a short time?

So, after Chen Su-fen woke up from a nap, he asked the question that had been on his mind.

“Yes, my cousin’s pregnancy is going very smoothly. The midwife said the day before yesterday that the due date was still a few days away, so why did she start labor today?” Tong Pan’s brother said with a frown.

Chen Sufen sighed.

She was in so much pain that she didn't have the strength to speak; she was only thinking about making sure nothing happened to the baby in her womb. Now that both she and the baby are fine, she can speak again.

“Chunwang bumped into me,” Chen Sufeng said. “He was rushing to his private school class and ran into me.”

"That heartless, rotten seed of a bastard, he'll be struck by lightning and torn to pieces sooner or later. He's blind, and he just happened to bump into you," Tong Pandi cursed.

Chunwang's older sister Chunni and mother Cao are now under the care of Tongpan's brother and work in the pigsty. Chunwang goes to the pigsty to find Cao from time to time.

At a young age, he did not learn good things. He followed his grandmother in calling Cao a slut and cursing Chunni as a worthless woman. Tong Pandi hated Chunwang very much.

Tong Huaqiong's face turned ugly.

Chen Su-fen said, "He must have bumped into it by accident. He was in such a hurry because he was afraid of being late when he heard the school bell."

Man'er, Xiaolong, and Yaozu often rushed into the private school as the bell rang; today they were even later than Chunwang.

Therefore, Chen Su-fen subconsciously preferred to believe that Chun-wang was not bold enough to bump into her stomach.

Chen Su-fen certainly didn't like Chun-wang. If Chun-wang had really done it on purpose, her mother-in-law would have punished him. However, her child had just been born, and she didn't want to see bloodshed.

Besides, she was fine after the baby was born safely.

Tong Huaqiong knew what Chen Sufen was thinking the moment she saw her.

This daughter-in-law is so kind she's almost naive.

She probably forgot about the Lantern Festival. Man'er, Xiaolong, and other children were kidnapped by traffickers. In order to save his life, Chunwang even tried to hit Xiaolong with a brick in front of the traffickers.

It's often said that children are inherently pure, but Tong Huaqiong doesn't think so.

Among the masses, there will always be a few born bad seeds.

Moreover, Chunwang was spoiled by his grandmother Luo and Tian Fugui from a young age, so he might actually go and bump into Chen Sufeng's belly.

As for what benefit he would gain from bumping into Chen Su-fen's stomach?
No.

It's common for bad people to do things that harm others without benefiting themselves.

Tong Huaqiong said to Chen Sufeng, "I know you are kind-hearted, but you underestimate the wickedness of a child."

Let alone the minors who buried their classmates alive in the news, Tong Huaqiong herself encountered bullies and extortionists during her school days. They were self-taught in doing bad things.

Tong Pandi said, "Auntie is right. Cousin, don't think too highly of people. Take Tong Zhijie and Tong Zhaodi for example. They've been up to mischief since they were three years old, trying to get our parents to beat me. They'll turn around and bite me for no reason. I think Chunwang is pretty much the same."

“Even if he didn’t do it on purpose, it’s a fact that he bumped into your stomach. Did he apologize after he bumped into you?” Tong Huaqiong asked.

Chen Sufeng paused for a moment, then said, "No, he was rushing to class."

"I'll go ask him if he did it on purpose."

Tong Huaqiong stood up. She didn't mind scaring this little beast.

Normally, if a child bumps into someone, they will stop instinctively out of fear, but Chunwang ran away immediately.

It doesn't look unintentional at all.

Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.

Tong Huaqiong strode out the door.

"Grandma Tong, Xiaolong and Chunwang are fighting at the entrance of the private school. You should go and see!" Liu Tong's son ran to Tong Huaqiong's door and said to her.

When Xiaolong and Chunwang got into a fight, Tong Huaqiong wasn't worried that Xiaolong would suffer a loss.

This kid, like Su Chengmin, is a ruthless person.

Tong Huaqiong rushed to the entrance of the private school.

Xiaolong was seen riding on Chunwang's back, swinging his fists and punching Chunwang's face and body repeatedly.

A group of children surrounded them, cheering them on.

Yaozu and Man'er stood one in front of Chunwang, waiting for Xiaolong to fall behind so they could step in and help him fight.

Chunwang was suppressed by Xiaolong and tried to turn over several times but failed. He raised his foot to kick Xiaolong from behind, but Man'er subdued Chunwang's legs with two kicks.

"Quickly, tell my grandma!"

"Little Dragon, you bastard."

"Waaaaah, stop hitting me!"

Chunwang was beaten and cried loudly.

Seeing that Xiaolong was firmly in control, Tong Huaqiong stood a little distance away with her arms crossed to watch.

Chunwang definitely deserves to be taught a lesson, and it would be even better if he were taught a lesson by Xiaolong.

Why did Xiaolong attack Chunwang?
In the morning, Man'er, Xiaolong, Yaozu, and Chunwang rushed to the private school as the bell rang. When they got there, they saw Chen Sufeng sitting on the ground with a pained expression.

The three children were terrified. They called for help and helped Chen Sufeng up.

Xiaolong was, after all, a child forged in the Eastern Palace. From a young age, he overheard eunuchs and palace maids gossiping about which concubine's pregnancy had been miscarried, and which pregnant concubine in the Prince's mansion had been accidentally bumped into by a maid.
He remembered it after hearing it many times.

He observed the environment around Chen Sufen and found nothing unusual except for a puddle of water.

Gu Ruinian wasn't the only villager fetching water; many people passed by this road to get water, making it frequently wet. Chen Sufeng, who passed by this road every day, was well aware of this.

Xiao Long doesn't believe Chen Su-fen slipped on the water.

I wanted to ask Chen Su-fen, but she was in too much pain to speak.

When adults give birth, children can't help, so Tong Huaqiong sent Xiaolong Man'er and the others to a private school.

Xiao Long was still wondering why Chen Su Fen would suddenly sit on the ground even after he arrived at the private school.

The cunning man calculated who would take this path to the private school and who would habitually rush into the school as the bell rang.

So they identified Chunwang, Liu Tong's son, and two members of the Xu family.

Apart from Liu Tong's son, who was ruled out, the remaining three are all suspects.

Nothing else, Chunwang's grandmother, Granny Luo, is Tong Huaqiong's mortal enemy. Chunwang usually likes to scare his classmates with dead rats and cockroaches and shows no remorse despite the teacher's education. He even urinates in the teacher's kettle and gets caught and beaten by Xiaolong.

The two young men from the Xu family happened to be the grandsons of the former patriarch of the Xu family, who was also an old enemy of the Gu family.

Through Xiaolong's meticulous questioning and observation, Chunwang was confirmed to be the real culprit.
