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

Chapter 682 The gossip is especially exciting!

The silver-haired woman felt a tremor in her heart.

Unconsciously, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Uncle He sat motionless, his trembling beard revealing that he was not as calm as one might expect.

Tong Huaqiong and the others became increasingly certain that there was an unspeakable secret between the two old men.

“How can a daughter-in-law and nephew’s wife get into a dispute and the daughter-in-law sides with the nephew’s wife?”

Such a juicy story is especially satisfying to read.

Aunt Qin couldn't contain her excitement. Although she tried her best to keep her voice down, it still reached everyone's ears.

Zhao scoffed, "A daughter-in-law has her son behind her, and a nephew's wife has her nephew behind her. Favoring the nephew's wife is favoring the nephew. Anyone who abandons their own son for their nephew doesn't need to be questioned; that nephew might just be their own flesh and blood."

These words immediately silenced the He family.

Especially He Chao's second aunt, a silver-haired woman, opened her mouth but couldn't speak for a long time, her face turning an eerie red.

The He family is not united; they only share common interests when dealing with He Chao, otherwise they are a disorganized mess.

The goal this time is to put Zhu Zi on the throne of He Chao's heir, and to bring He Chao back into the He family's genealogy so that the He family can share in He Chao's achievements.

However, not everyone was willing to choose Zhuzi as their heir. Apart from Zhang, the eldest cousin's wife who only had two daughters, the others were also not very willing.

They also had sons or grandsons. It was the eldest son of He Chao, the eldest son's father, who defied public opinion and chose the son of the second son's son, who was also his nephew.

Uncle He and Uncle He who passed away were brothers, so Uncle He would naturally side with his nephew.

No one ever doubted the relationship between Uncle He and Aunt He.

Hearing what Zhao and Aunt Qin said, he couldn't help but have doubts.
The He family members glanced at the silver-haired woman, who gathered her meticulously combed silver hair, her hands trembling slightly.

Within the tribe, the silver-haired woman's fighting prowess was astonishing; she was practically a force to be reckoned with, constantly battling against heaven and earth, and she never suffered a loss in arguments.

This time, however, he looked embarrassed as Zhao and Aunt Qin mocked him.

This doesn't fit her style.

The He family members inside the house each had their own thoughts.

Madam Hong laughed and said, "Generally, when families without sons adopt children from the clan, they will recommend a young one. I've never seen anyone put forward a son who is about to get married. It's not like your clan doesn't have young children. There must be a reason for this."

The fire set by the Hong family made the already disorganized He family even more difficult to unite.

Apart from the eldest branch of the He family, which had no sons, every family that came along had grandchildren and sons. In fact, every family had children under ten years old.

They had initially opposed giving the adoption spot to Zhu Zi, but Uncle He used his authority as the clan leader to suppress everyone and forcefully elevate Zhu Zi to the position.

No wonder the old man didn't react much to his son and daughter-in-law's son-in-law's request for his son to return to the ancestral lineage; it turns out the old man already had several grandsons, including Zhuzi.

This explains why the old man had a bad relationship with his younger brother when he was alive, and they often argued, but after his brother's death, he began to show great concern and care for his sister-in-law and nephew.

"No wonder Uncle chose the pillar; it turns out he was thinking about his own descendants." Fifth cousin's wife, Gao, bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction, deliberately emphasizing her own descendants.

She has five sons, the youngest of whom is only six years old this year.

If we're talking about who's the most suitable to adopt, no one is more suitable than her son.

But He's eldest uncle said her son was timid and useless. In her current view, only a timid son could make Hong lower her guard and be willing to accept him.

"You bastard!" the silver-haired woman pointed at Gao and cursed angrily, "You heartless, rotten seed! Your mouth is for eating, not for spewing filth! If you dare to spew any more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

She can't criticize Tong Huaqiong and others, but she can't criticize her own nephew's wife?

"Who are you cursing? This is my daughter-in-law. Who are you trying to act like a mother-in-law to? There are two daughters-in-law in this house for you to act like."

At this moment, another woman with gray hair stood up. She was He Chao's third aunt and sister-in-law of the silver-haired woman. She had fought with the silver-haired woman her whole life and was not afraid at all.

The silver-haired woman clearly only had one daughter-in-law, Qian, but she deliberately included Zhang in her calculations.

This is an obvious way of revealing that the silver-haired woman and her brother-in-law are having an affair.

She felt that the reason why Madam Hong did not acknowledge the marriage with the He family was because the eldest uncle of the He family and the silver-haired woman offended Madam Hong by putting on airs right away.

Now that she could find an opportunity to help the Hong family vent their anger, she didn't mind rushing forward.

Once the Hong family was appeased, the adoption spot fell to her grandson.

She has many grandsons, so Mrs. Hong can choose any one she wants. It's always better to choose one herself than to have that pillar forced into her home.

As for Zhang's suggestion that He Chao take a concubine to have children, she felt that Hong might not be willing, since no one wants to share a man with another woman.

Hong smiled, which encouraged the gray-haired woman, who then jumped up and showed off her silver hair and Uncle He's hair.

"You said that adopting Zhuzi was a pre-arranged plan. Besides the two of you, who else did you discuss adopting him for? I said that my six-year-old Fuzi was suitable, but you two insisted that Fuzi was too young to handle such a great fortune."

"My Fuzi can't control his own, but your Zhuzi can? You adopted Zhuzi because you want to keep the wealth within the family. He's your grandson anyway."

"I'm not saying this to be rude, but the relationship between the older brother and younger sister-in-law is so good that they're practically inseparable. What older brother and younger sister-in-law don't avoid suspicion? But you two are like two peas in a pod. No wonder people thought you were a couple when you first arrived."

Hong and Tong Huaqiong suppressed their laughter.

The so-called fifth aunt of He Chao did indeed use foul language, but her true intentions were also revealed.

He was simply holding a grudge because his grandson had failed to be selected, and he wanted to drag down the first and second wives to curry favor with Madam Hong so that he could successfully promote his grandson.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. None of the Ho family members who came to the Hung family were pure; they each had their own purposes, and their core idea was to seize the family property of Ho Chiu and the Hung family.

Let them fight like dogs before the authorities arrive.

The silver-haired woman was so ashamed and indignant by the insults that she tried to exchange insults with the gray-haired woman several times, but each time she was met with even dirtier retorts.

Uncle He was so angry he almost broke his cane.

The gray-haired woman thoroughly enjoyed her verbal sparring; this was the first time she had won a verbal battle against the silver-haired woman.

She used to lose because her uncle from the He family didn't stand by her side.

The gray-haired woman fought with increasing ferocity.

"I always said that my second brother's death was suspicious, maybe it was caused by an adulterous couple."

These words made the silver-haired woman and Uncle He both shudder and almost faint on the spot.

“I always thought my second brother didn’t look like my second uncle. I think you look more like my eldest uncle than my eldest brother.”

Gao looked at He's eldest uncle's son with a smile on her face.
