I noticed that they were not heading towards the hall, but rather to the study. A hint of doubt arose in my heart, and I quickly followed them.
Upon reaching the door of the study, I stopped and quietly peered inside. I saw Fu Qingqing covering her face, crying like a weeping willow.
"Brother, are you really going to be so cruel to me?" she sobbed.
Fu Guanbai frowned, "Qingqing, I am your brother now, and you are my sister. What we had... is no longer possible."
Fu Qingqing suddenly raised her head, "No, we are not siblings; I am not your sister!"
Fu Guanbai sighed, "Qingqing, please calm down."
"No, I won't calm down!" Fu Qingqing cried out, "Brother, I regret it; I truly regret it. If it weren't for saving you back then, I would never have married that scoundrel. He doesn't love me at all; he abuses me every day..."
Fu Guanbai's expression changed, "What did you say?"
Fu Qingqing wiped her tears, "Back then, after my father passed away, those enemies came looking for revenge against our family. It was you and my sister who begged me to help and asked me to seek assistance from the Zhao Family. To save you both, I agreed to marry the Zhao Family's Third Young Master, but he turned out to be a pervert..."
"He hits me every day, curses at me, and makes me do those filthy things. Brother, I married that bastard to save you; you can't treat me like this..."
Fu Guanbai was stunned; he stared blankly at Fu Qingqing, his lips trembling but unable to speak.
Fu Qingqing continued, "I have fallen seriously ill and won't live much longer. That's why I wanted to come back to see you. Brother, I know how deeply you care for my sister; I won't ruin your family. I just hope that you can love me once more, even if it's just once..."
Fu Guanbai was in shock, "You... you are seriously ill?"
Fu Qingqing smiled sadly, "Yes, the doctor said I only have three months left..."
Fu Guanbai stood there in a daze as his eyes gradually reddened. He spoke softly, "Qingqing, I'm sorry; I didn't know you had suffered so much. But we can't go back to the past..."
"No, we can!" Fu Qingqing suddenly rushed in front of Fu Guanbai and hugged him from behind.
"Brother, we can start over!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Fu Guanbai's body stiffened abruptly as he struggled, "Qingqing, don't do this; let go of me..."
"No, I won't let go!" Fu Qingqing held onto him tightly. "Brother, I love you; I've always loved you! If it weren't for that incident back then, I would have already become your wife!"
Fu Guanbai's body trembled even more violently as he desperately struggled and finally broke free from Fu Qingqing's embrace.
"Qingqing, are you crazy?" he shouted.
Fu Qingqing laughed heartily, "Yes, I am crazy! Brother, I have even given up my pride for you. Can't you see that?"
Fu Guanbai stepped back repeatedly, "No, Qingqing, you should go back. I don't want to see you again."
After saying that, he turned and fled the study.
Fu Qingqing completely broke down. She covered her face, squatted on the ground, and cried loudly.
I quietly watched all of this, feeling a mix of emotions.
It turned out that there was such a past between Fu Qingqing and Father-in-law. No wonder Mother-in-law was so tolerant of Fu Qingqing; no wonder Father-in-law cared for her so much.
It seemed that Fu Qingqing had truly come back to reclaim Father-in-law.
Thinking of this made my heart tighten. If that were the case, then Mother-in-law would be in great danger!
After Fu Qingqing left, I sat for a long time. As the sky darkened, I finally stood up and walked outside.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Mother-in-law standing outside with a pale face.
I was startled and asked, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?"
She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
She bit her lip and said softly, "Mu He, I..."
"Did you hear everything?" I asked.
Mother-in-law nodded.
