Chapter 122 - Mutual Threats (1/2)

“What nonsense are you talking? How did I tarnish your dad’s reputation? It is all because of you anyway.”

Being chewed out by Yun Xi in front of Yun Yuanfeng made Liang Xiuqin fume with rage.

“Mom, you know in your heart this was not my fault.”

Yun Xi inched a little bit closer to Liang Xiuqin and said in a low voice, “Mom, if Dad knew that you had bribed Young Marshal Mu’s subordinate and stolen Young Marshal Mu’s jade seal, I don’t know what he would think of the consequences of offending Young Marshal Mu…”

“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s eyes widened suddenly, and her legs went slack with shock.

“Mom! Mom, what’s happening to you?” Yun Ziling looked at her mom anxiously and stared at Yun Xi with resentment.

“Sister, how can you treat Mom like this! How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Is this what your uncle and aunt in the countryside taught you?”

“I haven’t done anything. This is all Mom’s own guilty conscience. Would you dare repeat to Dad what I just said?”

“You…” Liang Xiuqin paled.

Of course she didn’t have the guts.

What she was more worried about now was whether this matter had reached Young Marshal Mu’s ears.

They all knew what the consequences of offending Young Marshal Mu were.

This wretched girl knew everything. Indeed, it had really been her who had planted the watch.

This wretched girl’s underhanded tactics really were foxy. She’d not only framed them, but had also managed to clear her own name. Not to mention she had been able to humiliate them in front of all the distinguished families.

What a scourge! She’d made them suffer ever since she’d come back.

Liang Xiuqin was annoyed, anxious, and extremely distressed.

Gritting her teeth, she warned Yun Xi, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your father everything and let him deal with you?”

This wretched girl had been behind the whole thing!

Now she and Yun Ziling had become the scapegoats. How hapless of her to have given birth to such a scourge!

“If Dad knew that you had offended Young Marshal Mu and that I resolved the situation for you, he would only be grateful to me.”

Yun Yuanfeng valued his future more than anything. Instead of offending Young Marshal Mu and ruining his future, it would be better for them to suffer humiliation in front of the upper cla.s.ses.

She believed that her mother knew this as well.

Scheming against her had had consequences, and she wasn’t afraid of her mother’s threats.

After all, her mother at this moment was putty in her hands.
