Jiang Jin had long woken up. When she heard her two granddaughters-in-law speaking in hushed voices, she did not want to disturb them. She could not help but sigh inwardly. The heavens had been kind to her. Although she lost her son, the heavens had given her two outstanding grandsons. Not only that, but she was also given two sensible granddaughters-in-law. What more could she ask for?
Jiang Jin knew that her turbulent emotions this time were caused by Liang Zhou. She felt like she had let down Liang Zhou and Liang Zhen. Both of them were dragged down by the Mu family, and she felt that it was her fault. Although the two sisters had never blamed her, she still felt responsible.
At one point when she was ill, she could not help but think that she should use her life to repay the two sisters. It would be the last thing she could do for the Mu family. She would help the family repay their debts. However, under Song Ning and Jiahui’s care, Jiang Jin had gradually recovered.
Now that Jiang Jin heard the two young women’s words, she slowly began to feel at ease. When one had lived a long time, one would learn to accept things more easily. Since she managed to recover this time, she decided to live well and do more good deeds for the future generation.
Ye Xin was sentenced to ten years in prison. When she received the sentence, she finally understood Zhuang Ning’s words. Hence, she decided to file an appeal.
She did not expect her brother to be so ruthless, and she did not expect Ning Zhe and Mu Qing to ignore her. She was really a chess piece. Everyone was using her. Everyone had benefited from her, but she was the only one who had to bear all the consequences. She felt unresigned. She would not let go of anyone who harmed her, especially Song Ning and Liang Zhou. She swore that she would make those two live a life worse than death in the future!

On the other hand, Gao Wen was not imprisoned. In the eyes of the law, she did not do anything deserving of a harsh punishment. At most, she had a bad character. Gao Wen did not care about her reputation. All she cared about was Ye Xin and saving Ye Xin. Hence, she went to look for the master.
The master did not come out to meet Gao Wen. She sighed from behind the curtains and said, “Everything is fated.”
In the end, Gao Wen returned home in a daze. However, when she saw Ye He, whom she had not seen in a long time, she was stunned.
Ye He sat on the couch, smoking a cigar. He seemed slightly surprised to see Gao Wen as well.
At this moment, a seductive voice rang from the top of the stairs.
“Dear, who’s here?”
Following the sound of footsteps, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked down the stairs. When she saw Gao Wen, she frowned in disgust before she threw herself into Ye He’s arms. Then, she asked in a soft voice, “Who’s this old woman?”
Upon hearing these words, Gao Wen burned with fury. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ye He say indifferently, “She’s the madam of the house.”
When Ye He looked at Gao Wen, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes. The words ‘madam of the house’ were clearly said through gritted teeth and emitted a bone-piercing chill.
Gao Wen was shocked. She did not expect Ye He to admit that she was the madam of the house.
Upon hearing these words, the beautiful woman was stunned as well. Then, she hurriedly left Ye He’s embrace and moved to stand at the side with an unnatural expression on her face.
Ye He looked at the woman and smiled. “What are you afraid of? Come here. Come into my arms.”
The beautiful woman hesitated briefly before she snuggled into Ye He’s arms.
Ye He took a puff from the cigar and exhaled a wisp of smoke before he looked at Gao Wen and smiled without any trace of warmth. “The madam of the house is very magnanimous. She doesn’t care who I sleep with. In the past, she was very jealous and controlling. However, I was like a fool, thinking that she loved me. I didn’t expect her to be a hypocrite. She disliked me looking at other women, but she slept with another man behind my back.”
