And now?

The moment something happened, they practically wanted to gnaw Tang Tiansheng to pieces.

Wasn’t that lacking in basic decency?

Oh!

You can share blessings with me, but not hardship?

Then why should I marry you? Why should I raise your daughter?

Seeing the neighbors pointing and whispering about her, Aunt Qin couldn’t take it anymore. She burst into loud sobs, wailing that her daughter had married into the wrong family, that the Tang family had deceived them into marriage—almost grinding the Tang family’s name into the dirt.

But this time, no one paid her any attention. After a few glances, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Who could guarantee a smooth life forever?

When choosing a wife in the future, better not pick this type—lest one day misfortune strikes, and the person beside your pillow stabs you in the back.

Seeing this, Aunt Qin cried even harder and completely shifted her resentment onto Tang Wan.

But Tang Wan didn’t care.

She had no intention of having any further dealings with the Qin family.

Still, later on she instructed the people at the estate that if they were buying tofu, they should go to the Qin household to support the old couple’s business. After that, she let it be.

On the way to the county yamen, Tang Wan remained silent.

Ling Yu led Ta Xue beside her. Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, he tried to comfort her. “People are like this. There’s no need to dwell on it, and no need to feel upset.”

“It just hurts a little here.” Tang Wan pressed a hand to her chest, feeling stifled.

Ling Yu chuckled softly. “Don’t tell me you don’t even know what feeling upset is?”

“I sort of know, and sort of don’t.” As she walked, Tang Wan kicked at the pebbles by her feet. “I’m still learning many human emotions and trying hard to adapt to them.”

What she really wanted to say was that having a heart and not having one were vastly different.

Without a heart, you feel nothing—no injury, no gratitude, no sadness, no anger…

With a heart, you can feel many emotions—both good and bad.

Ever since she had transmigrated here, she had never truly experienced sadness.

But today, she had.

Was this what the doctor meant by “offering sincere feelings only to have them fed to the dogs”?

She asked herself—hadn’t she treated the Qin family well?

Whether it was Qin Suyun or the Qin elders.

During the earthquake, she had even brought them along to safety.

And what about the Qin family?

When nothing was wrong, all was well. But the moment trouble came, they turned against her immediately.

It just… felt disgusting.

Listening to her words, Ling Yu’s expression grew slightly strange. After hesitating for a moment, he asked softly, “Still learning?”

Weren’t joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness innate human instincts?

Wait.

Did Tang Wan just imply that she hadn’t been human before?

He vaguely remembered that once, when she was drunk, she had said she was something… 0527?

What was that?

“No, I was just saying that casually!” Tang Wan suddenly realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject. “Let’s hurry. See if Uncle has found any clues.”

“Mm.” Ling Yu didn’t expose her. He led her toward the yamen.

Whatever you are, you’re mine now. Now and in the future—you can only be mine.

The young couple arrived at the county yamen and met Su Yuan.

Su Yuan hadn’t called them for anything else; he simply wanted to ask whether Tang Hongba’s family had offended anyone.

“No,” Tang Wan replied after thinking carefully.

As for Tang Tiansheng’s former wife—her entire family had died in that earthquake long ago.

Su Yuan paced anxiously a couple of steps and then asked, “What about the two of you? Have you offended anyone?”

“Mm…” Tang Wan began thinking again.

Su Yuan quickly urged, “Wan-niang, think carefully. This concerns your father’s whereabouts.”

“I know!” Tang Wan scratched the back of her head awkwardly. “It’s just… the people I’ve offended seem to be quite a lot.”
