Chapter 1874: Shu Yu Asks Questions
Lu Sanzhu began to roll up his sleeves, "Hey, are you still being stubborn at this crucial moment?"
"It's you who are taking advantage of your numbers. Do you think that by overwhelming me, I'll admit to the accusations? Fang Caixia, what really happened back then, I know it very well in my heart. You couldn't conceive and your temperament became extreme. You were always suspicious and superstitious. To preserve your reputation, I only told ot...

Chapter 1873: They've Come to Clarify the Truth
Lu Sanzhu didn't give Chen Bing a chance to speak. He addressed the crowd, "I'm sure many of you must be curious about the situation here. Let me explain to everyone so that no one thinks my aunt is in the wrong."
Chen Bing, with red eyes, protested, "No, we can't talk about this."
He grabbed Mr. Pan's hand, trying to stand up, but Lu Sanzhu had deliberately pressed down on his legs several times earlier, causing intense pai...

Chapter 1872: It's Actually Her
"That's right, you've got many noble friends, so naturally, you wouldn't remember me," Grandma Lu said, then turned her head to look at the woman beside her.
Grandma Fang took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Chen Bing, if you don't recognize my sister, you must at least remember me."
Chen Bing was taken aback, his line of sight shifting along with the voice.
He didn't recognize Grandma Lu, who he had only seen a few times. But as...

Chen Bing groaned and moaned. After a while, he realized that no more punches were landing on him. With a fearful expression, he lifted his head and stared at the scene.
What he saw was Lu Sanzhu's fierce appearance and the exquisite embroidery on his belt. His mind was a bit slow to catch up; he still hadn't figured out how he had offended this group of people.
It was clear that these people weren't ordinary folks. Judging fro...

Lu Sanzhu smirked, grabbing Chen Bing and delivering a kick.
Chen Bing was no match for the physically strong Lu Sanzhu due to his older age. After being hit twice, he quickly rolled to the side, yelling all the while, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you. Why are you hitting me? Stop, don't hit me!"
Lu Sanzhu paid no attention; he just wanted to vent his anger.
The Pan family's courtyard immediately descended into...

These four individuals were skilled fighters, capable of handling ten opponents at once. With them around, what was there to fear? He then looked at Shu Rui, Er Niu, and Da Bao standing behind him, feeling somewhat satisfied.

The western part of the city wasn't considered a bustling and wealthy area. The Pan family's small courtyard in the Ten Li Lane was already considered a relatively good property.
The courtyards in the southern and eastern parts of the city were too expensive. Initially, the Pan family wanted to buy a larger and cheaper property, so they settled for the Ten Li Lane.
As a result, the neighbors and residents of the Ten Li Lane were all fro...
