I sighed and held my mother-in-law's hand. "Mother-in-law, please don't be upset. Fu Qingqing is just talking nonsense; Father-in-law would never betray you!"
"No," my mother-in-law shook her head. "Qingqing isn't lying; that matter... is true."
I was taken aback. "What matter?"
My mother-in-law gave a bitter smile. "Back then, Guangbai and I were framed, and it was Qingqing who stepped in for her father to help us resolve the crisis. In return, I promised to betroth her to Guangbai as his legitimate wife in the future."
I was shocked. "What?!"
My mother-in-law sighed and continued, "But later, Qingqing's father passed away, and the Fu family also faced a crisis. To save us, Qingqing chose to marry Zhao Family's Third Young Master. She has done us a great favor, so no matter how willful she is, I have tolerated her and helped her..."
"But I never expected that Qingqing..."
Tears rolled down my mother-in-law's face. "Mu He, what should I do? What should I do..."
She looked at me, her eyes filled with helplessness and pain.
I hugged my mother-in-law tightly, feeling heartbroken. "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid; I will help you."
My mother-in-law trembled slightly. "You... how will you help me?"
I said coldly, "Since Fu Qingqing is ungrateful to you, then don't blame us for being unjust."
My mother-in-law was stunned.
I took a deep breath and continued, "Rest assured, Mother-in-law; I won't let Fu Qingqing harm you."
She looked at me, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something.
But in the end, she just nodded. "Alright, Mu He, thank you."
Since that day, Fu Qingqing moved into Fu Residence.
There are many rooms in Fu Residence; Fu Qingqing stayed in the eastern courtyard, which is very close to Fu Guanbai's study.
With an extra person in the house, the atmosphere became somewhat strange.
Especially my mother-in-law; it seemed like she aged a lot overnight, and the smile on her face disappeared.
At the dining table, my mother-in-law only lowered her head to eat without saying a word.
Fu Qingqing still acted weak and delicate; she only took a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.
"Qingqing, why aren't you eating?" Fu Guanbai asked.
Fu Qingqing smiled lightly, "Brother, I'm not hungry."
Fu Guanbai frowned, "Qingqing, you've been away for many years. Now that you're finally home, don't be polite."
Fu Qingqing forced a smile, "Brother, I really am not hungry. I just... I'm not used to the food from the North."
Fu Guanbai's expression changed, "Qingqing, you..."
"It's okay, Guangbai," the grandmother interrupted Fu Guanbai. She picked up a glass of water and handed it to Fu Qingqing. "Qingqing, if you don't want to eat, then don't. Just drink some water."
Fu Qingqing took the glass, but as soon as she held it, it slipped from her hands.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, covering her hand.
The glass fell to the ground, spilling water on her hand and causing her to tear up from the pain. However, most of the water splashed onto the grandmother.
"I'm sorry, sister. I didn't hold it steady..." Fu Qingqing lowered her head, tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
The grandmother's face turned pale with anger. "How could you..."
"Sister, I really didn't mean to..." Fu Qingqing knelt down. "Sister, it's all my fault. You can hit me or scold me; I won't complain at all."
The grandmother trembled with rage but ultimately held back her anger upon seeing Fu Qingqing's pale face.
Fu Qingqing continued, "Sister, I know you're angry with me. It's all my fault; please don't blame brother. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Even if you kill me, I won't complain..."
Her words were filled with sorrow as tears streamed down her face.
The grandmother was so furious she couldn't speak. "You... you..."
Fu Guanbai frowned. "Qingqing, what are you doing? Get up!"
Fu Qingqing shook her head. "No, I won't get up. Until sister forgives me, I won't get up..."
The grandmother stomped her foot in frustration. "Are you trying to force me?"
"No, that's not my intention..." Fu Qingqing smiled sadly. "Sister, you know I don't have much time left. I don't want to leave with regrets..."
The grandmother was taken aback.
Fu Qingqing continued, "Sister, I'm begging you. For the sake of my short life, please forgive me this once..."
The mother-in-law looked at her, her expression becoming incredibly complex.
