Shen Yueyao knew that speaking bluntly would be cruel to the two children, and that it was best to let them forget their real mother while they were still young.

But when she thought of her former gentle sister-in-law, she simply couldn't bring herself to do such a despicable thing. Wouldn't it be even more cruel to make the children forget the mother who treated them like her own life?

Besides, how many stepmothers truly care for their children? Rather than being deceived by a stepmother who then turns on them and drains them dry, it's better to find out the truth sooner rather than later.

The two children wiped away their tears, sobbing, "Auntie, it was our stepmother who killed our mother, we'll remember that. Then why did Father marry our stepmother?"

Shen Yueyao shook her head: "No, your mother's death has nothing to do with her. She died suddenly, right? When I came back, your mother was already gone. I don't know much else."

"She was such a good person. When things were tough for the family, my sister-in-law helped my aunt a lot. I don't want you to forget her, so I've kept some photos of her."

"This tiny two-inch thing is easy to hide. Keep it safe and look at it often. Don't forget your own mother."

"You can't judge a stepmother by her good times; you have to see how she is when she's not doing well. Besides, she's only nice to you now that she doesn't have children, but she might not be so nice once she has children."

The two children seemed to understand, but they knew that stepmother meant something bad. After Stone's mother died in the compound, he never wore clean clothes again.

They were always covered in injuries, it was so pitiful. They didn't want to become like that. They never wanted their stepmother to have children. If she didn't have children, she wouldn't be so mean to them.

Seeing that they understood, Shen Yueyao tucked the small photo inside the book before leading them out.

"Come on, apologize to your mother."

The two little ones looked at each other, their bright red eyes blinking, and said pitifully, "Mom, we know we were wrong, we won't do it again."

Bad women, just you wait, you'll see.

Seeing them apologize, Lin Fengjiao's slight displeasure dissipated. She was an adult and wouldn't hold a grudge against two little kids. She hummed in agreement, "It's alright, come sit down and eat."

The two children looked at the chicken leg in her bowl and felt even more unhappy.

Zhao Jinhua glanced at her and curled her lip. Another lazy bum. It's shameless of her to steal chicken legs from the child. Oh well, she'll deal with her properly when she can't get pregnant after three months.

No rush, no rush, she can't escape her grasp.

With a loving smile on her face, she said, "Come on, eat more."

After dinner, Lin Fengjiao and her sister-in-law cleaned up and chatted quietly: "Yueyao, what are your plans for the future? I mean, do you have any plans to remarry?"

Shen Yueyao hummed in agreement: "Probably, but I can't have children, so I doubt anyone would be willing to marry me. Even if someone were willing, it would only be because I have a job, am young, and can take care of a family."

"That's true, but a woman's lifelong support is still a man. Find a good man to spend your life with. As for stepsons, they'll leave home sooner or later, so it doesn't really matter."

"Ha, yeah, let's talk about this later."

She didn't want to talk about it now. That previous relationship had already damaged her body. How could her new sister-in-law understand the feeling of being forced to drink bowls of medicine? She was just a girl who hadn't gotten married yet.

Lin Fengjiao was clearly tactless and kept rambling on: "I don't think this is a big deal. Just find someone who can't have children either, and then adopt a child, and the problem will be solved."

"What do you think, Yueyao? I think it's easier for you to find someone now that you're young. If you wait until you're over thirty, then it will be really hard to find someone."

Shen Yueyao paused in her washing of dishes, feeling displeased. She pursed her lips and remained silent, all the goodwill she had felt towards her new sister-in-law vanishing.

After quickly packing up, he said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. I'm getting married to my sister-in-law tomorrow, so I'll go directly to the hotel to wait for you. The girl picking you up has to be either unmarried or happily married."

"My condition isn't suitable for me to pick you up, I hope you won't mind, sister-in-law."

Lin Fengjiao smiled and waved her hand: "It's alright, it's alright. Just come to the restaurant tomorrow. Be careful on your way back."

Shen Yueyao hummed in agreement, pushed open the door, and left.

Shen Qingshu didn't linger and led her back to their bridal chamber, his face full of tenderness: "Go get a good night's sleep. You need to get up early tomorrow, so don't be unable to get up."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

"Okay, go ahead."

The next day, around three or four in the morning, while it was still dark, Zhao Jinhua brought the twins over, instructing the women to do her makeup and hair, and then let the two children roll around on the mixed bed.

She spoke auspicious words, beaming from ear to ear: "Great, great! Go wash up and come over to get your makeup done."

Lin Fengjiao washed her face, her mind clearing up considerably. Looking at the footprints left on the red sheets by her rolling around on the bed, a vein throbbed on her forehead.

Take a deep breath, turn your face away, and tell yourself not to argue with the child. Today is a joyous day, and you should be happy.

An hour later, the women praised, "The bride is so beautiful and radiant. Jin Hua is so lucky. I must say, your Qing Shu is really capable."

Even if someone from another family is a lucrative purchasing agent, a man whose wife has just died wouldn't marry a virgin. They're experienced and can tell at a glance that he's innocent.

She's really capable. I just don't know how this girl will treat the twins in the future. After all, they're not her own children, and there are plenty of heartless stepmothers out there.

Shen Qingshu walked in, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "Wife, you are so beautiful, so pretty, it suits you very well."

The woman smiled and praised, "Indeed, they are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Alright, get ready, we're going to the restaurant soon. If it's for the wedding procession, we'll go directly to the restaurant from here."

Zhao Jinhua brought over a bowl of wontons: "Come on, good daughter-in-law, eat something hot while it's still warm, otherwise you'll be too busy at noon and suffer if you don't have time to eat."

"Yes, Mother, you are so good to me."

"Silly child, I am your mother-in-law. It is our family's blessing to have such a beautiful and well-behaved daughter-in-law like you. I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Lin Fengjiao didn't catch the underlying meaning in his words and smiled shyly: "Yes, I will try my best to be a good daughter-in-law."

The atmosphere inside was pleasant; the adults were chatting and didn't notice that the twins exchanged a glance, secretly lifted the sheet under the pillow, and stuffed a dead mouse into the gap.

A wicked smile flashed in his eyes. Just thinking about the smell of that dead rat spreading in a couple of days and what kind of expression that wicked woman would have made him very happy.

Around ten o'clock, Shen Qingshu carried the person downstairs.

Firecrackers went off in the courtyard, and those who were still at home came out to watch the excitement. As the newlyweds left, they couldn't help but click their tongues and say, "It's true what they say, 'Only the newlyweds are smiling, while the old couple is crying.'"

"Ah, Yunrou was such a wonderful girl, it's just a pity she died young."
