Chapter 247 - I Dont Believe Youve Ever Been So Kindhearted (1/2)

“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s face immediately got ugly when Yun Xi exposed her ulterior motives in such a straightforward manner.

Yun Xi’s bluntness was tantamount to Yun Xi giving her a slap in the face.

“Wretched girl! How can you speak to me in such a manner? I am your mother, after all, and everything I do is for your own good. With someone of Young Marshal Mu’s status, if you accidentally offended him, would you be able to take responsibility for the consequences?”

No wonder she hadn’t been able to figure out how the jade seal had gotten back in Young Master Mu’s things. Turns out that Yun Xi and Young Marshal Mu actually knew each other.

Upon hearing her mother go on in this way, Yun Xi couldn’t help but laugh. Her mother was so unbelievably thick-skinned.

“Mom, haven’t you already offended Young Marshal Mu once?”

Liang Xiuqin looked dumbfounded. “When did I offend Young Marshal Mu? Don’t talk nonsense!”

“At Madam Chen’s charity auction…when you bribed someone to steal Young Marshal Mu’s jade seal. I heard that it was Young Marshal Mu’s personal seal. If you had stolen it, you would’ve gone to jail.”

Upon the mention of the jade seal, there was obvious guilt written all over Liang Xiuqin’s face. “I…that jade seal was never stolen, right? Why are you trying to pin the blame on me? I didn’t do anything.”

“Mom, you know very well what I’m talking about, and Young Marshal Mu knows about it too. It is true that I put the jade seal back where it belonged. Mom, do you need me to explain to you why you are still safe and sound?”

“What do you mean?” Liang Xiuqin’s heart lurched. She had basically guessed what Yun Xi was insinuating.

“I used my lifesaving kindness to pay off your crime of theft. Otherwise, you would only be able to talk to me from prison now. You know that Young Marshal Mu is not an ordinary person, yet you still stole his things. What made you think he would let you off the hook so easily?”

Yun Xi snorted softly, and a hint of mischief flashed through her animated eyes.

“So Mom, don’t even think about trying to take advantage of him because I saved his life. If you really want to, okay, I’ll talk to Young Marshal Mu. As for how he will settle accounts with you or the Yun family…”

“You, you shut up!”

Liang Xiuqin’s lips trembled as she interrupted Yun Xi as she threatened her. She didn’t believe that this wretched girl had been so kind as to protect her with her lifesaving kindness.

“I don’t believe you have ever been so kindhearted…”

Liang Xiuqin’s eyes flickered with her internal struggles. The expression on her face was one of resentment.

She had tried to frame her not that long ago, and now Yun Xi wanted her to believe that she had been protecting her.
