Xiao Chengyi really knew, he replied respectfully: "It's not that I don't like me, it's my father-in-law that you don't like."
Wang Shouzhi was a little surprised: "Then just tell me."
Xiao Chengyi spoke boldly: "I just heard you mention my mother-in-law, uncle. I boldly guessed that my mother-in-law married my father-in-law because of family pressure.
After your marriage, your mother-in-law suffered a lot in the Mu family. You naturally blamed your father-in-law, feeling that he married your mother-in-law but didn't treat her well.
Later, I heard that my father-in-law married my mother, so naturally I felt even more unworthy of my late mother-in-law. Am I right?"
Wang Shouzhi didn't expect Xiao Chengyi to see things so clearly. Indeed, he had complained about the Mu family and Mu Rufeng for so many years.
If it weren't for the daughter his sister left behind, he would have cut off contact with the Mu family long ago.
He said: "You are right. When I see Yan Yan, I feel like I saw Tong Niang. She had no choice but to marry into the Mu family.
I thought that Mu Rufeng would treat her well, but who would have thought that he still failed her. He made my sister stay in the empty boudoir without saying anything, and let her suffer all kinds of hardships in the Mu family.
Although Tong Niang is married to Mu Rufeng, there is no deep relationship between them, but what if there is a deep relationship? If you can't protect the woman you love, it's useless."
Xiao Chengyi knew that the last words were about him, and he said solemnly: "It was me who let my uncle down. It was me who failed to protect Yan Yan before. Please give me another chance. I will make Yan Yan worry-free."
May I be the happiest woman in the world."
Wang Shouzhi said: "I'll give you a chance. If you were asked to choose between my uncle and my father-in-law, how would you choose?"
Mu Yun'an was shocked: "Uncle, aren't you trying to make things difficult for others?"
How to choose? If she chooses her uncle, it will definitely be heard by her father. If she chooses her father in front of his uncle, his uncle will not be happy.
This is clearly bullying.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Uncle, don't be fooled by your father-in-law. Why did he tell you my deeds? Isn't it just to make you think that my son-in-law is not as good as him?
If you think so, wouldn't all the dissatisfaction with my father-in-law be transferred to me, don't you think?"
Wang Shouzhi was stunned. He had never thought about this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true.
Because of Tong Niang's incident, he had never wanted to see Mu Rufeng. He came to the Changzhou garrison several times but was turned away by him.
The only time he met him, he called him by the name of Yan Yan and said he wanted to talk about Yan Yan, so he met the person.
After hearing what happened to Yan Yan, he only cared about his niece who felt sorry for him. How could he still remember the things he had done?
Wang Shouzhi darkened his face: "He did have a good plan."
Using his son-in-law to block the knife was a lucky thing he could do.
Xiao Chengyi said: "So my uncle must not be fooled by his father-in-law."
Wang Shouzhi looked at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will blame you?"
Xiao Chengyi sighed: "My father-in-law already doesn't like me, so he doesn't care to add a little more dissatisfaction to me."
Wang Shouzhi was amused by him: "You are quite interesting. I used to hear Ze Fang praising you and saying that you have a dark heart. Now it seems that it is true."
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, but he didn't know that his heart was actually a compliment?
He smiled and said: "Uncle is not angry with me now, is he?"
Wang Shouzhi said: "Your father-in-law looks down on you. As an uncle, I want to go against him. Give me a cup of tea and I will recognize you as my nephew and son-in-law."
Xiao Chengyi bowed his hands and said, "Thank you very much, uncle. You will have to support me in the future."
