"But... but..."
Granny Liu stuttered for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason.
Ruo Lan gently and persuasively said, "Today, the pond is unusually deserted, if we don't do it today, when will we?"
"Do you think Qiao Duo'er let this woman enter the household just to keep a hold on Tan Zhenghong? She wants to use her to bear her own son!"
"If I give birth to a girl this time, we'll be at a disadvantage."
"Even if I have a son, I'm at a loss. Everyone in the village knows Zheng Hong favors Duo'er. By that time, my son will only get what others have left over."
Ruo Lan had seen plenty of wealthy families fighting over inheritances, and she spoke about it as if spilling beans.
Moreover, every sentence struck right at the heart of Granny Liu's concerns.
Granny Liu was conflicted. There were many benefits to killing this woman, but she truly didn't dare!
