This mean mother-in-law had rarely tortured her before, but during the time when she had a falling out with Li San, everything she did was like stabbing her in the heart, and she really couldn't help but harbor malice towards her.
She had to admit that she felt comfortable seeing her being treated like this.
Shen Chen coughed twice, and felt that Wei An didn't need to stay in such a place to watch this farce, so he whispered to Wei An: "Let's go back? I'm afraid the old lady and the third lady at home are waiting anxiously."
This is true. It has been a while since they came out. The old lady was not in good health to begin with, and the third wife was even more seriously ill. Wei An knew that the outcome for the Li family would not be any better, so he nodded to Shen Chen and said, "Let's go back."
Lin Hai's family immediately went out and told people to prepare the carriage.
Wei Yuyou gently coaxed Zhao Ge'er, and finally got him to stretch out his hand. He then hugged him in his arms, called out "Zhao Ge'er" with sobs in a low voice, and holding him in his arms, he quickly walked side by side with Wei An and followed Shen Chen to leave.
Although it was unfortunate to meet such a bastard, but on the bright side, she had a mother and grandmother at home who truly cared about her, and a powerful cousin-in-law who could stand up for her. It was a blessing in disguise. At the very least, her children could always be with her, and she wouldn't have to worry about being looked down upon and having trouble making a living when she returned to her parents' home.
It couldn't possibly be worse than staying in the Li family. Thinking of this, she calmed herself down, lowered her head and smiled at Zhao Ge'er.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw Shen Chen in front of her stopped. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. When she followed Shen Chen's gaze and saw Li San standing in front of them, facing them and blocking the road, she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Why did Li San come back at this time!
She couldn't believe it and her arms around Zhao Ge'er tightened unconsciously.
Zhao Ge'er felt uncomfortable being held by her and was about to cry, but when he saw the fear on his mother's face, he couldn't help but stop. Even the youngest children can sense adults' emotions and know when they can be willful and when they can't.
Li San looked at Shen Chen with a gloomy face, and finally set his sights on Wei Yuyou, who was wearing a hood and hugging Zhao Ge'er, and asked with a smile: "Where are you going?"
He walked a few steps, bypassed Shen Chen, and forced a smile to take the child from Wei Yuyou: "Zhao Ge'er, come here, Daddy will hold you."
Zhao Ge'er was most afraid of him. When he heard him say that, he quickly shrank back, stretched out his hand and waved, and said hurriedly: "No."
He spoke vaguely, and his pronunciation was not particularly clear, but the two words were still loud enough for people to hear. Li San's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. He continued to snatch the child coldly and stiffly, and said in a deep voice: "You are blind. You have grown up so big, but you can't even recognize who your father is?!"
Zhao Ge'er was frightened even more by his ashen face. He reached out and grabbed Wei Yuyou's neck, and tried to pull his little butt up.
Wei Yuyou summoned up endless courage, stretched out her hand to open his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Now that things have come to this, do you want me to tell you again in front of so many people about what you did to me?! Our relationship as husband and wife has come to an end, so let's save some face for each other."
She had never dared to speak to him like this before, but this time, it was obvious that she had someone to back her up, and she felt confident.
Li San had a stiff face, not even looking at Shen Chen and Wei An in front of him, and stubbornly reached out to pull Zhao Ge'er: "The love between husband and wife is over, and I see that you, a vicious and stupid woman, are also in trouble. If you want to divorce, then divorce, but my son is mine, and his surname is Li, not Wei. Don't think about taking him away, give him back to me!"
Zhao Ge'er's arm was hurt by him and he burst into tears out of fear.
Wei Yuyou also hurriedly retreated, shouting sharply: "Li San!"
Shen Chen had already walked a few steps to them, looked at Li San coldly, and told him: "Stop."
Li San didn't listen and kept pulling the baby out with his hands, not caring whether the child was in pain or not.
Wei Yuyou was heartbroken and cried and begged him to let go.
But Li San refused to listen.
Shen Chen no longer cared about him. He reached out and grabbed Li San's arm, and with a little force, he bent his arm at a sharp angle, making him cry out in pain, and then he pushed him away.
Li San covered his arm and stepped back several steps, leaning against the wall and sneering at them: "Why, rushing into someone else's house to rob someone? Isn't this against the rules? Could it be that the Marquis is so unscrupulous because he is the adopted son of the prince?"
Shen Chen ignored his sarcasm and just stopped Wei An and Wei Yuyou coldly, saying to them, "Let's go."
Xuesong had already stepped forward to block the way, raised his chin provocatively towards Li San, and said with a look of anticipation: "Master Li San, if I were you, instead of trying to snatch the child, I might as well pay more attention to my own mother. Look, the old lady is so old, and because of you, she has to be paraded in shackles through the streets. How embarrassing."
Li San's face turned pale. He wanted to snatch the child because he knew he had no other options. He was slandered outside for destroying the sacred objects enshrined in the Sanqing Temple. After hearing the servants' report about what happened at home, he knew that only if he had the child in his hands would the Wei family let him go.
But now, there is no way that Zhao Ge'er can reach his hands.
When Mrs. Li saw her son, she burst into tears: "San'er! San'er! Look at your daughter-in-law, what she has done to your mother! Divorce her! Divorce her now! Bring the child back, the child belongs to our Li family!"
Magistrate Wang urged from behind with a smile: "Old lady, we should go now. If you have anything to say, please talk in court."
Wei An took Zhao Ge'er from Wei Yuyou's weak hands and walked out without stopping.
Nanny Wang and Wen Xiu each supported one side of Wei Yuyou and they quickly got into the carriage.
Only after getting on the carriage did Wei Yuyou dare to sob and cry, believing that he had truly escaped from the sea of suffering. He hugged Zhao Ge'er and cried his heart out.
Nanny Wang and Zihe beside her hurriedly handed her a handkerchief and advised her: "It's not worth it for you to cry for such a heartless person. Such a person will not have a good ending. You are now out of the sea of suffering, you should be happy. The third lady and the old lady are still waiting for us at home, you should shut up first..."
Zhao Ge'er was taken over by Wei An. Wei Yuyou pursed his lips and whispered to Wei An: "An An, thank you."
If it weren't for Wei An and Shen Chen's help, she would never have escaped from the sea of suffering. (To be continued)
