Chapter 133 - Chapter 133: Causing Trouble at the Door (2/2)
“Eldest Sister, I trusted you and that’s why I entrusted Chunlan to you, allowing her to stay with the Han Family. Now such a thing has happened. My good daughter has been sent to the government by your son, and her future is ruined. How could you be so heartless!”
“Sister, I didn’t want this either, but Chunlan really did something terribly wrong this time. Fourth child was furious and insisted on sending her to the government; I couldn’t stop him. I don’t know what’s gotten into Chunlan; she’s becoming more willful, and actually got involved with those idle young guys from the village, almost harming Fourth Daughter-in-law,” Mrs. Yang explained.
“What do you mean, that’s not what Chunlan is like. I’ve raised my daughter well for over a decade; how did she turn out like this after arriving at the Han Family? She’s obviously been framed and used. I don’t care about anything else now. Just return my daughter to me, or this matter isn’t over!” Yang Juxiang said furiously.
Although they hadn’t done anything wrong, Jiang Chunlan’s troubles began at the Han Family, and Mrs. Yang felt somewhat responsible. She wanted to explain further when Mrs. Wang unexpectedly appeared.
“Aunt is right, Cousin Chunlan is a sensible girl. She wouldn’t do such a thing. It must be someone who begrudged Cousin Chunlan and set a trap for her to fall into, leading her astray,” she said.
After the separation, Mrs. Yang was still her mother-in-law, but could at most scold Mrs. Wang, who now didn’t shrink back like before and stirred up more trouble.
Seeing Mrs. Wang say this, Yang Juxiang didn’t speak but scrutinized Mrs. Wang as if to judge the sincerity of her words.
When Mrs. Wang saw Yang Juxiang’s reaction, she stepped forward even more, “Aunt, Cousin Chunlan and I were always very close, I know her character very well. The incident occurred because Fourth Son and his wife were too harsh on Chunlan, and she acted foolishly in a moment of anger. Fourth Daughter-in-law was only slightly injured, but who knew Fourth Son would insist on sending Chunlan to the county government? He truly doesn’t care about family bonds, and now with a girl like Chunlan in the government’s prison cell, what future can she have? You must stand up for Chunlan, aunt.”
Mrs. Wang even pretended to wipe away tears while speaking, and Yang Juxiang, hearing Mrs. Wang’s words, was uncertain how to feel, her lips curling into a faint sneer, “Brother Lin’s Wife is quite kind-hearted, so considerate for Chunlan!”
“See what Aunt is saying, I should…” Mrs. Wang thought Yang Juxiang was taking her seriously and felt a surge of satisfaction, putting on an even more convincing act, but before she could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face by Yang Juxiang. The slap was powerful, leaving a red mark on Mrs. Wang’s face instantly.
“Aunt, what are you doing, why are you hitting me!” Mrs. Wang, stunned by the slap, thought to herself with a mix of confusion and resentment: Has this old lady gone mad? She couldn’t understand why Yang Juxiang, instead of confronting the true culprit Su Wenyue, was taking her anger out on her.
Yang Juxiang’s face was filled with cold mockery, “You little wench, don’t think I’m unaware of the dirty tricks you’re up to. Chunlan was led astray by your instigation. Both you and the Fourth Son’s couple are no good; you’re no better, hmph!”
After saying this, Yang Juxiang, vigorous and resolute, led the Jiang family members toward Su Wenyue’s room.
