But if you don’t get close to him, he remains quiet.

Once you get close, he goes mad.

Jian Yufei thought, it must be that during those days, the people who got close to him hurt him a lot, so he resists others approaching him.

Not sure how long she had been standing there, Ruan Tianling came up behind her.

"Stop watching, aren’t you tired standing here?"

"I just hope Dad can look at me a few more times and then remember me."

Ruan Tianling took her hand, "Father-in-law is not clear-minded now and won’t remember you in the short term."

Jian Yufei felt very downhearted.

"There’s news of your mother-in-law, do you want to hear it?"

Jian Yufei suddenly looked up, "Yes! What’s happening with my mom?!"

"Come in with me." Ruan Tianling pulled her back to their room.

After sitting on the sofa, he said thoughtfully, "Mother-in-law is still fine, but she has been locked up."

"Locked up? Why?!" Jian Yufei was shocked.

"The reason is that your mother-in-law not only admitted to being the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Nangong Xu but also fired another shot at him, intending to kill him."

Jian Yufei opened her mouth, "This definitely isn’t true! My mom isn’t the mastermind at all!"

Ruan Tianling nodded, "It’s fake. I think the other side needs your mother-in-law to do these things, to make her act and kill Nangong Xu."

"But it absolutely won’t succeed..."

Just as she said this, Jian Yufei suddenly realized.

"They don’t need my mother to succeed, they just need her to carry this charge."

"Yes. That time you shot Nangong Xu, you were charged with harming your clan, and you were driven out of the family. This time, they’re using the same tactic."

"Their goal is to drive my mother out of the family?"

Ruan Tianling nodded, "Right now, the Nangong Family is under your mother-in-law’s control. Your grandfather is paralyzed and unable to manage affairs, Nangong Xu is in a coma, if they drive her out, they can take control of the family naturally."

Jian Yufei’s eyes widened slightly, "Who is most suited to take control?!"

Ruan Tianling coldly curled his lips, "It seems the murderer has been exposed."

"But who is it?"

"Nangong Xu’s uncle, Nangong Wenchang."

Jian Yufei remembered that old man, besides Nangong Wenxiang, he was the most authoritative one.

Jian Yufei had never liked that old man, and now she hated him even more, grinding her teeth.

"He’s so old and still has such ambitions!"

"Ambition knows no age. Moreover, he’s nearing the end of his life, he wants one last moment of glory."

"That damned old man, I want to kill him!" Jian Yufei’s eyes were filled with hatred.

Ruan Tianling squeezed her hand, "Don’t worry, if you don’t kill him, I will!"

"But killing him will certainly make us enemies with the Nangong Family, and we’ll never have peace again." Jian Yufei still had concerns.

Ruan Tianling slightly pulled up the corners of his mouth, "Naturally, it must be done without a trace."

"Before taking action, let’s rescue Mom first."

Ruan Tianling nodded, "Of course. But saving your mother-in-law is tricky."

"Why? Will they not release her? Although my mom is charged with harming the clan, it’s not a crime punishable by death, at most she’s expelled from the family."

"Because your mother-in-law is pregnant with Nangong Xu’s child. Though she is guilty, the child is innocent. Besides, there are still many who hope Nangong Xu’s child inherits the family."

"Do they plan to keep my mom locked up forever?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
