Chapter 1063: I Am Here to Apologize

Although the relationship between the sister-in-law and the wife was quite good, and her words seemed faultless, Liu Chuxue still felt they were somewhat improper.

Fu Yan Cheng saw her face flushing slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at him. "It's all your fault for making me wake up so late. It's utterly embarrassing."

Fu Yan Cheng understood what she meant. "Don't worry. They have all been through this and will naturally understand. Besides, when we return tonight and see them regarding the matter of splitting the household, they will have long forgotten this morning's events. We will stay here at most one more night and move out tomorrow."

Recalling what the Eunuch had said yesterday: "If Dad really makes everyone move out, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law will likely resent the Second Branch and us two."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, dismissed this, saying, "That couple always seeks to protect themselves when trouble arises. Isn't this exactly what they want?"

Liu Chuxue didn't understand for a moment. "What do you mean by that?"

Fu Yan Cheng handed her half a cup of warm water. "Yesterday was the weekend. Third Sister-in-law should have been in her room. I don't believe she didn't know what Second Sister-in-law did. Since she didn't want to cause trouble, she must bear the consequences."

Hearing this, she thought it made sense. When Second Sister-in-law entered her room, Third Sister-in-law might have known. Even if she didn't discover it at the time, she must have watched everything that happened after they returned from inside her room, yet she never came out.

Fu Yanwan brought the meal over, and when she saw the porridge with added brown sugar and red dates in the bowl, an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

Fu Yanwan was about to say something when she heard someone shout from the courtyard entrance, "Yanwan, someone is looking for you."

After greeting Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, she ran out. Seeing the person at the main gate, she asked, "Why have you come? By the way, have you sorted out your matter?"

Ren Jiangfeng, standing at the main gate, nodded and said, "It's mostly settled. My aunt has demanded the return of the money they sold my family's house for, the wages of my parents, as well as the savings my parents had accumulated and the pension. As for the interest on that money over so many years, consider it the cost of raising me."

"However, they cannot gather that much all at once. We agreed they must repay the money before noon tomorrow; otherwise, we will send them all to the bureau."

Originally, his aunt had wanted to demand compensation as well, but considering that although they had treated him poorly over the years, they had ultimately raised him, she let it go.

Fu Yanwan asked, "So when do you plan to return to the farm?"

Ren Jiangfeng coughed lightly. "When do you return? We can go together. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease about you."

Fu Yanwan glanced into the courtyard. "Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law are home. Why don't you come in and say hello?"

Ren Jiangfeng nodded. "Alright."

He hadn't come empty-handed after all. Given the commotion earlier, he had come today with a mission.

Yanwan led the person in. "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, Jiangfeng has arrived."

The family had already tested the younger sister's feelings. Since the younger sister was unwilling to give up, they naturally would not beat the loving doves apart. However, regarding the fact that he had taken their sister to register for marriage without notifying the family beforehand, the Fu family would not easily forgive this person.

They had not settled accounts with him earlier because the Ren family was still in chaos, and they did not want to get involved.

Fu Yan Cheng's face was cold. "Do you have business here?"

They knew the younger sister's feelings, but they had to show their attitude. They could not let him think their family was so easy to talk to.

Ren Jiangfeng, holding the items, tried to stand as straight as possible. "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, I am here to apologize."

As he spoke, he tried to place the items in his hands on the table.

However, Fu Yan Cheng blocked him directly. "We cannot just accept things like that. First, explain clearly what sin you are apologizing for."
