In the Su family home, Gu Zi had just finished steaming the vermicelli when she heard a commotion outside the door.

Even Big Yellow in the courtyard seemed to sense something amiss and began to bark.

Quickly cleaning up the stove, Gu Zi rushed outside, only to find that Su Shen was no longer in the living room. Her two brothers were trying to comfort Lele.

Earlier, Su Bing had been playing with Lele in the courtyard, but she was frightened to tears by Chu Xi’s parents-in-law.

Su Bing hurriedly scooped Lele up, and Su Shen had gone outside to handle the situation.

Upon realizing the situation, Gu Zi made her way toward the door, but Su Li initially blocked her path. However, in the very next moment, he stepped aside quickly.

“Dad said he can handle this. You don’t need to go out,” Su Li informed her.

Chu Xi’s parents-in-law had arrived with a confrontational air, likely driven by Chu Xi’s arrest, and their primary target was Gu Zi.

Though it had only been a short while, the children had already heard people outside calling her a vixen multiple times.

Of course, they knew that the insult was aimed at their stepmother. Yet, judging by her behavior so far, she appeared to be a good person.

Consequently, their father did not want her to face harsh criticism, and they felt the same way.

Gu Zi turned to Su Li and said, “Your father and I are about to get married. In a marriage, problems must be faced together. I can’t let him cover for me. It wouldn’t be right for me to hide behind him.”

After her declaration, she turned and walked outside, leaving her stepsons impressed by her bravery.

Holding Lele, they took refuge by the living room window to observe the situation outside.

As Gu Zi stepped outside, she was met with an old woman berating her, alongside Su Shen.

Upon seeing that harsh visage, Gu Zi couldn’t help but be taken aback. No wonder Lele had been reduced to tears by them; they appeared extremely mean.

There was a saying that daughters-in-law resembled their parents-in-law, and it seemed to hold true for Chu Xi and her in-laws.

The old woman’s tone when addressing Su Shen was calm, but her words toward Gu Zi were laced with vitriol. “You’re that vixen, aren’t you?
