Mrs. Wang was in tears. She had given birth to children for Jia Zheng and was now almost fifty years old, but she had to endure the grief of separation from her loved ones. Jia Zheng couldn't bear it.

"If you had known this earlier, you wouldn't have gotten into this situation." Jia Zheng sighed heavily, his face forbearing. "Now that things have come to this, it's too late for you to change your ways."

After all these things, there was a rift between the Jia family and the Lin family, which could not be cleared up in a few words.

Mrs. Wang's face was covered with tears. She said hurriedly, "It's not too late, sir, it's not too late. Sister Min is kind-hearted and magnanimous. As long as I sincerely repent, she will forgive me."

Jia Zheng lowered his head and looked at her. This woman was his first wife. Although the two of them did not have much affection for each other, they had treated each other with respect for so many years.

"Forget it, since you are truly repentant, I will waive your house arrest."

Mrs. Wang wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. Her eyes were red, hiding the hatred in them. "I know that the master is kind, but I have done so many wrong things. If I just let it go, not only will Sister Min feel uncomfortable, but I will also be too ashamed to face the world again."

Her attitude was so sincere that Jia Zheng had only believed her 30% at first, but now he believed her 50% now. However, he was still a little confused in his heart.

"How are you doing?"

Jia Zheng's question hit the mark of Lady Wang's heart. She put on a sincere look and said guiltily, "As long as I don't hear Sister Min personally say that she forgives me, I will never forgive myself. If this continues for the rest of my life, I might as well die now."

She sighed slightly, as if she was filled with infinite regret. "But if I come to apologize in person, whether Sister Min is willing to see me is another matter. If those who don't know the inside story start to speculate, it will be bad for Sister Min's reputation."

Mrs. Wang said this, but she was thinking viciously in her heart that if Jia Min dared to act arrogantly and not come, she would go to her house in person and see who would be embarrassed then.

Jia Zheng thought so too. Mrs. Wang was the sister-in-law of the emperor. It would be inappropriate for outsiders to see her come in person to apologize to her sister-in-law.

"What you said does make sense." He pondered for a moment, and his usually serious eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. "In that case, please ask Sister Min and the others to come over. You should make good preparations. We must let people know our sincerity."

"Master is right." Madam Wang nodded hurriedly, "If Sister Min and the others are willing to come over without bearing past grudges, I will definitely entertain them well and make up for my past mistakes. Then...even if they say bad things to me, I will accept them all."

When the time comes, when those people from the Lin family come, don't blame her for not considering their relationship as relatives, after all, they were the ones who made the mistake first.

If they had not been unwilling to help, Baoyu and Yuanchun would not have ended up like this, and she would not have become what she is now.

It's all the Lin family's own fault.

Facing Mrs. Wang's deep remorse and sincere repentance, Jia Zheng really couldn't say anything bad. "Don't worry about inviting them over. I'll take care of it. You just need to prepare well to entertain them."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately looked moved and said many words of gratitude, which made Jia Zheng very proud.

In the past, Mrs. Wang always put on airs and was very methodical in everything she did, so Jia Zheng was not close enough to her. Now that she has changed so much, he is a little uncomfortable with it, but he feels very relieved.

As a man, Jia Zheng also likes to be admired and flattered by his woman, but Mrs. Wang has never given him such feelings before, so he dotes on Aunt Zhao who tries hard to please him.

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that Jia Zheng did not like her personality, but she was the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion before, so how could she do something that would lower her status?

None of that matters now.

Mrs. Wang is now thinking about how to take revenge on the Lin family and how to make the Lin family suffer as much as she is now.

Jia Zheng thought that since she had repented and reformed, there was no need to keep her locked up in this yard any longer, so he lifted the house arrest on Mrs. Wang.

Naturally, he had to tell Lady Jia about this. After Jia Zheng left Lady Wang's place, he went straight to Rong Xi Tang and told Lady Jia about this matter.

After that, he said with relief: "Mother, Wang has realized her mistake now, and I believe she will not cause any more trouble in the future. Our family can finally live in peace for a few days."

Quiet days?

Not necessarily.

Grandmother Jia snorted coldly, obviously not believing it. "Given Wang's character, it's wishful thinking for you to expect her to change her ways."

She had long seen what kind of brain that stupid woman had. How could she possibly change for the better in just a few days?

Grandmother Jia felt that something was a little odd. Could it be that that stupid woman was going to cause trouble again?

"Don't be so hasty to believe her. You have to find out whether she is truly repentant or is going to cause trouble again."

Over the years, that stupid woman had been causing trouble time and again. If she hadn't been there, the Lin family brats would have skinned her alive long ago.

Grandmother Jia's mind sank slightly. If Wang Shi still had evil intentions and wanted to make things difficult for the Lin family, it would be better to kill her now rather than completely destroy the friendship between the two families in the end...

To avoid future troubles.

But she couldn't say these words to Jia Zheng, because Jia Zheng was pedantic and inflexible. If he knew her plan, he would definitely oppose it.

Jia Zheng didn't know that she had thought so much. In his heart, he still felt that Mrs. Wang's expression just now was somewhat credible, so he wanted to argue a few more words for her.

"Although Wang Shi has done many wrong things, it is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve oneself. We might as well give her a chance to correct them, even if it is..."

He paused slightly, his tone becoming a little dull, "Even if you consider Baoyu and the Empress, Wang is their biological mother after all. It will not be good if you are too harsh."

Grandmother Jia was troubled by what he said, and her face looked a little unhappy. "You also know how Wang Shi behaved in the past. If she is just pretending to repent this time, but is actually plotting something else, what do you think?"

"That shouldn't be the case." Jia Zheng saw with his own eyes Mrs. Wang crying and sobbing. She was so sincere, how could she be pretending?

He calmed himself down and advised, "Mother, you are worrying too much. I have seen from a cold eye that she does not seem to be pretending. We might as well give her a chance. If she dares to make a mistake again, we will not let her off easily."

Grandmother Jia didn't know what kind of love potion Wang had given him to make him like this.

However, the continuous blows had already broken her body. After saying just a few words, she felt that she had no strength left. Jia Zheng was still chattering on, and she could only interrupt him impatiently.

"Forget it, forget it. I can't control it anyway. You guys can handle it yourselves."
