the fish to death with a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of her mouth, then threw the dead fish back into the tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just the same old trick,” she mused, “except last time, I was the one who fell into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have suffered from illness for five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time to switch and have you endure it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Jie was hit on the head with a teacup by Master Jie until he bled profusely, and while he clung tightly to his beloved, not wanting her to worry, he left the residence to find a doctor outside to dress his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea that a major incident would occur in the residence today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Du, with her maid in tow, went to find Miss Du.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Miss Du had clearly expressed her wish to divorce Young Master Jie, Concubine Du’s attitude towards her had softened somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself, there’s no need to harbor so much hatred at this critical juncture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was pressed too hard and changed her mind about the divorce, wouldn’t it be a loss for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she’s not a wife of the Jie Family, she is nothing but a lowly cast-off woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I become the principal wife, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with her then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sister, I’ve come to visit you,” said Concubine Du earnestly, even bringing with her the pastries Miss Du loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du understood what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divorce hadn’t been finalized for so long, and now she was getting antsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said indifferently, “There’s no need for such gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a matter of time before Young Master Jie and I divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Jie will come around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du didn’t like Concubine Du to begin with, so there was no need to deal with her on a daily basis when she was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These years had been exhausting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Du ordered her attendants to put down the food box and then dismissed her maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du looked at her maid Cuiya and also dismissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only Miss Du and Concubine Du remained in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du’s expression was indifferent as she asked, “What do you want to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s drop the pretenses between us, shall we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not tired of playing the role, but I’m tired of watching it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Du let her smile fade, paused in surprise, but then forced a smile again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why bother, big sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I admit I’ve wronged you over the years, but I had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You and I are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although father has passed away, he left you a way out and found you such a good marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who ever cared about me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mother died when I was young, and my husband also lost his mother that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We found solace in each other, and he said he’d marry me when we grew up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when we grew up, Master Jie said he wanted to marry you instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve had everything since childhood, and the only thing I had was my husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without him, I had nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though we loved each other, you insisted on interjecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was I supposed to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big sister, I never wanted to harm you, but please tell me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what should I have done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du closed her eyes and swallowed down the sourness rising in her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this man, they, as sisters, could have depended on each other and wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Miss Du opened her eyes and looked at Concubine Du, saying, “It’s true, you two loved each other, and I was the one who forcibly inserted myself into the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, I couldn’t gain his love, and I don’t blame you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he treats me, I don’t blame you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you’re my sister, and you’ve tried to murder me countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you kept count?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our parents are gone, we are the only family each other has in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were me, I wouldn’t take your life over a man, and I certainly wouldn’t involve others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanqing, how did Hen Ying die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do I need to remind you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hen Ying?” Concubine Du took a step back, remembering the death of that maid, which had left her drenched in sweat with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago, she had wanted Miss Du’s life, and that loyal maid died trying to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had died with her eyes wide open, and that image had been a nightmare for Concubine Du.\u003C\u002Fp>",784,"2026-06-06T06:54:57.485Z",1,"novelbin.me","462dae27f053f09a62448911a53c1ef06e14a4453aae7b032478d8ba945c0c3a","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-598","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-596",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
