Shen Tang no longer wanted to say anything about this tangled mess.
Cui Hui's mother's life could have been the plot of a rebirth novel. In her previous life, she'd misjudged a man and chosen an adopted son-in-law who seemed loyal and dependable. In truth, he was ambitious, secretly serving a feudal lord and committing crimes that could wipe out three generations of a family.

"Ideally, wait until the war is over."

Cui Xiao had so little presence
