Li Axiu let out a sigh of relief. She believed Jie Jingwei. The last time her daughter had slashed the back of his hand, the wound had been deep and long. Her daughter had meant to cause serious injury, yet Jie Jingwei hadn't uttered a single harsh word.
But Li Axiu still said, "She went too far this time. If you don't teach her a lesson, she'll never learn. When you do wrong, you have to face the consequences."
Jie Jingwei remained silent. Ignoring Lin Yaru's look of disbelief, Li Axiu strode out of the room.
Li Axiu knew full well that as long as she was there, her son-in-law wouldn't dare discipline her daughter.
Li Axiu stood in the courtyard, watching the neighbors standing on stools and leaning over the wall, all ears as they tried to eavesdrop. Humiliation turned to anger, and she roared, "Aren't you people hot?!"
