Mother-in-law and grandmother

Hearing Shi Jiu's murmur...

Jiang Fu instinctively came back to his senses and stared in astonishment at the figure hanging from the fishhook.

She was an exceptionally gentle, lovely woman.

Her features bore some resemblance to Shi Jiu's and those of the Shi Family brothers.

Jiang Fu held the Stone in his hand.
