Yesterday, Geng Xinghua begged that this matter must not be known to Xingyan and her husband, but how could Geng Lihua, in her anger, oblige her?
She directly had her eldest son make a trip to ask her brother-in-law, Mao Congming, to come over.
However, Lu Guangsheng still had some wits about him and didn’t say what the matter was, only saying to come home early in the morning to discuss something.
As expected, as soon as he stepped in, he saw his wife kneeling on the ground, and his sister-in-law with a darkened face, while his usually eloquent brother-in-law was silent with his head lowered. His heart skipped a beat, "What’s going on here?"
Geng Xinghua knew better than anyone what kind of person her husband was. She was trembling all over, afraid that once he found out the truth, he might beat her to death.
But no matter how she said it, she was the one who had wronged him. To ease her own conscience, she raised her tear-streaked face, "Congming, I have wronged you."
Mao Congming, seeing her in this state, wanted to step forward to help her up when Geng Lihua coldly spoke, "She’s done something shameful, I just wonder how brother-in-law intends to handle it?"
Mao Congming looked at his sobbing wife on the floor and then at his sister-in-law’s face full of resentment, "What do you mean by this?"
Geng Lihua decided to go all out, "It’s exactly what you think, Xingyan was born from her and her lover."
Captain Lu couldn’t stand it any longer, "Geng Lihua, shut up."
Geng Lihua looked full of sorrow, "Lu Zhuzi, over these years, you’ve really been a good actor. Every time you criticized Xingyan in front of me, only to agree to all her requests behind my back, pretending it was helplessness. I always thought you did it because of the respect you had for me, now thinking back it’s really laughable."
Mao Congming looked at them, his face cold as ice, "Tell me clearly, what on earth is this about?"
Originally, when Geng Lihua was in postpartum confinement, the sister-in-law back in their hometown had also given birth and couldn’t come to Beijing to take care of her, so Geng Xinghua was invited to take care of Geng Lihua during her confinement.
One day, Captain Lu attended a friend’s son’s wedding and had a bit too much to drink, coming home still drunk. Geng Lihua, knowing this, asked her sister to make a bowl of sober-up soup.
After giving instructions, because she was so tired, she went to sleep.
When Geng Xinghua brought the soup to the other room to wake up her brother-in-law, Captain Lu, whether intentionally or not, grabbed Geng Xinghua’s hand, calling out Geng Lihua’s name while speaking nonsense, and kneading the hand he held.
Ever since marrying Mao Congming, because Mao Congming had been frail since childhood and often lacked strength during intimate moments, things were often rushed. For some reason, an improper thought arose in her mind.
Afterwards, she didn’t struggle, whether Captain Lu did it intentionally or it was just a drunken mistake, either way, he got involved with his sister-in-law.
Until Geng Lihua finished her confinement, Geng Xinghua then left the house.
Later, when Mao Congming was out, Geng Xinghua fell and had an early childbirth, giving birth to Mao Xingyan.
Back then, Mao Congming was especially guilt-ridden, thinking if he had been home, Geng Xinghua would not have had the accident.
In retrospect, it seemed that it was all merely Geng Xinghua’s ploy.
He looked down at Geng Xinghua on the ground, speaking coldly, "Xinghua, you tell me yourself."
Geng Xinghua sensed he was on the edge of fury, trembling like a leaf, "Congming, listen to me, I didn’t mean to deceive you, I..."
But then a loud slap was heard, followed by a scream, with Geng Xinghua’s mouth corner stained with blood, revealing how much force that slap carried.
