Fu Bo looked at me in confusion, "Why investigate him?"
I smiled, "I think the reason Fu Qingqing and her husband separated is not that simple."
Fu Bo nodded, "Alright, I'll look into it tomorrow."
I hugged him, "You're really great, Fu Bo."
Fu Bo shook his head with a smile.
In the following days, Fu Qingqing became much quieter.
She seemed to be wary of me; every time she saw me, her gaze was filled with scrutiny and hostility.
Meanwhile, my mother-in-law's attitude towards me changed significantly.
Although she had treated me well before, it was merely because I was her son's wife.
Now, there was more warmth and gratitude in her eyes when she looked at me.
"Mu He, do you think my needlework is correct?" She eagerly picked up the needle in her hand and brought it close to me, "Is this how you do it?"
I smiled, "Yes, that's right."
My relationship with my mother-in-law grew closer; we now interacted almost like best friends.
One day, I told her about the issues in our family, and she was extremely shocked, "How is this possible?"
"Why wouldn't it be possible?" I retorted.
My mother-in-law's expression turned extremely grim.
"Mother, I know you don't want to believe it, but the truth is as such," I held her hand and said seriously, "You mustn't be soft-hearted. Being soft-hearted towards others is being cruel to yourself."
She trembled slightly as she looked at me with a complex expression.
I continued, "Mother, Father-in-law is your husband; he belongs solely to you. You cannot let anyone take him away. No matter who it is, if they dare to have thoughts about your husband, you must retaliate without hesitation. Do you understand?"
She nodded slightly as if she understood but wasn't fully convinced.
In the following days, I shared more about my family's matters with her.
She was astonished by what she heard, "How is this possible?"
"Why wouldn't it be possible?" I countered, "Our Lin family is a prestigious family; having a few concubines and illegitimate children isn't unusual at all."
Grandma opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
I continued, "Grandma, you are the best woman I have ever met, and I hope you can always be happy."
Her eyes turned red, "Mu He, thank you."
I smiled, "No need to thank me."
The reason I spoke so much to Grandma was that I saw my mother's shadow in her.
I grew up in a large family and was accustomed to the cruelty and darkness of family conflicts.
But Grandma was like a breath of fresh air; she was so gentle and kind, so wonderful that one couldn't help but want to protect her.
Moreover, Fu Bo loved her so much; if anything happened to Grandma, he would definitely be very sad.
So, I had to help Grandma defeat Fu Qingqing!
Ever since my relationship with Grandma improved, she took me with her wherever she went.
That day, she needed to go to the pharmacy to get some herbs, so I followed her.
On the way, Grandma asked worriedly, "Mu He, do you think Qingqing... really would do that?"
I nodded, "Qing Dai, you must not underestimate a woman's jealousy. Jealousy can drive people crazy and make them lose their rationality; they can do anything."
Grandma's expression changed, "Then what should we do?"
I thought for a moment and said softly, "Grandma, if Fu Qingqing provokes you again, just ignore her."
Grandma asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Think about it; the reason Fu Qingqing came back is definitely for Father-in-law," I explained. "Her biggest wish right now is to drive you away and become Mrs. Fu herself."
Grandma's face turned pale, "She... she won't succeed!"
"Yes, she won't succeed," I nodded. "So she will definitely keep provoking you to anger you, make you make mistakes, and then use that against you to drive you out."
Grandma suddenly understood, "I see."
"So," I continued, "once she provokes you, just ignore her and don't get angry. Getting upset will harm your health; it's not worth it."
Grandma smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I linked my arm with hers and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandma; Fu Bo and I will always be by your side."
My mother-in-law's eyes turned red. "Mu He, thank you."
I smiled but didn't say anything.
In fact, the reason I decided to marry Fu Bo was that I fell in love with her the first time I met Fu Guangbai.
