The death of Tong Xiaoqing had exposed the scandals of Luo Renliang and Zhong Zhi. The entire family compound was in an uproar. Nobody could have imagined that they had been living with two beasts in human skin all this time.
Tong Xiaoqing's family held strict standards. She had once told her parents about her wish to divorce, only to be met with extreme objections to the point of threatening suicide. In those days, divorce was seen as a disgrace. If Tong Xiaoqing were to divorce, it would affect the future prospects of her younger siblings—making it difficult for them to find suitable marriages.
Tong Xiaoqing didn't dare to speak about the humiliation she suffered. She had no choice but to live in silent resentment.
Over the years, there wasn't a single day where she didn't loathe her situation. Countless times she woke up in the middle of the night wanting to hack Luo Renliang to death with a kitchen knife. But doing so would only let Zhong Zhi off the hook.
