Chapter 228 - Give Her a Taste of Her Own Medicine (1/2)

As Zhou Ruyu noticed that Shi Qingxue stared at her, she felt nervous for no reason, thinking that there was something wrong.

But she could hardly restrain her anger and was unable to calm down to think so much. Instead, she glared at Shi Qingxue ruthlessly, seeming to ask, “I’ll see what you can do to me.”

Shi Qingxue shrugged and looked away, bowing to Mo Shujun. Then she expressed calmly, “Grandma, Aunt Qiuyan considers the Shi family’s fame and as soon as she found that there was something that might ruin our family’s reputation, she told you before she had time to find the truth…”

“Shouldn’t I do that?” Zhang Qiuyan realized that Shi Qingxue was critical of her as she slandered Dong Hui before she knew the truth, so she exploded the grievance from Shi Junhe and shouted to Shi Qingxue angrily.

She goggled at Shi Qingxue fiercely and asked intentionally, “Mother is the real mistress in the Shi family. Shouldn’t I report to her when something happened in our mansion?”

Although there were many dirty tricks in this matter, it was impossible if Shi Qingxue wanted to denounce her with this reason.

Zhang Qiuyan retorted quickly and felt complacent at last.

Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxue didn’t deny her words but nodded in agreement. “Aunt, you did the right thing.”

Gee?

Shi Qingxue cooperated with her, which made all people feel unaccustomed. They all looked at her in doubt.

She showed an innocent and obedient smile and added slowly, “So, I want to ‘learn’ from you, Aunt.”

She purposely stressed the word “learn.”

While speaking, she meaningfully glanced at Zhou Ruyu and made her feel restless.

Zhou Ruyu suddenly had a bad feeling, but before she did something…

She saw Shi Qingxue unfold the letter given by Xia Mang again and show it. “Ahem…”

Qingxue intentionally cleared her throat and when all people looked at her, she smiled and explained, “I just got an interesting letter. Of course I should share it with you at once, Grandma.”

Zhou Ruyu frowned and stared at the letter in Shi Qingxue’s hand. When she looked at it, she felt more terrified.

She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Wait a moment.”

Shi Qingxue certainly ignored her and read every word on the letter clearly. “My dear cousin Shi, when you see this letter, you seem to see me. I haven’t seen you for a long time and miss you very much. I still remember that day when we took a boat in Moon Lake. We love each other deeply…”

“Shut up!” Zhou Ruyu shouted with fear and rushed to Shi Qingxue crazily, trying to grab the letter from her hand.

Shi Qingxue was prepared and leaned to one side, avoiding Zhou Ruyu’s attack.

Xia Mang was swift-handed and stood between them. She seemed to stop them, but in fact, she grabbed Zhou Ruyu’s wrist forcefully and prevented her from approaching Shi Qingxue, advising in a warm voice, “Third Madam, please don’t be angry. If you are hurt, it would be bad news.”

Zhou Ruyu was pinched and felt severe pain in her wrist, so she couldn’t exert strength.

However, at this time, Shi Qingxue pretended to be ignorant and looked at Zhou Ruyu, asking in a sweet voice, “Aunt, I just want to read a letter that I picked up by chance for Grandma. Why are you so emotional?”

It seemed that she didn’t know it was a love letter to Shi Zhi written by Zhou Ruyu.

Qingxue paused for a while and then seemed to think of something. She lowered her head, murmuring, “Gee, speaking of which, why is this handwriting in the letter similar to Aunt Ruyu’s. I remember that the wife of Marquis of Wuyang was from the Shi family. This…”

She appeared to talk to herself, but her voice was not loud but was enough to make all people hear clearly.

In the end, she suddenly raised her head and glared at Zhou Ruyu in horror, shouting, “Aunt, is this a love letter to Lord Shi written by you?”

Zhou Ruyu just felt the blood all over her body surged to her head, and her face was ghastly pale. She retorted in a sharp voice, “Bullshit. I don’t have an affair with my cousin Shi. Don’t talk nonsense to wrong me. Otherwise, be careful, and I will tear off your mouth!”

Gee, when Zhou Ruyu wronged Dong Hui and said that she had an affair with somebody, she just intentionally beat around the bush like Shi Qingxue did but every word was hurtful and forced Dong Hui almost to faint.

Now it was the circulation of causes and effects, and she got the retribution.

Unfortunately, seeing Zhou Ruyu’s rattled and ugly face, Shi Qingxue lost interest in teasing her.

She concealed the ignorant expression on her face and returned to be distant.

Qingxue showed an indifferent smile to Zhou Ruyu and questioned coldly, “Just now, Aunt Qiuyan only took out a handkerchief, and you affirmed that my mother has an affair. Now what can the letter in black and white prove?”

She stopped for a while and avoided Zhou Ruyu, giving the letter to Mo Shujun. Then she stated impassively, “I don’t dare to act arbitrarily. Please handle this matter, Grandma.”

Since Shi Qingxue started to read the letter, Mo Shujun realized that the case today wouldn’t end easily, but she didn’t expect this girl to find the solid evidence to prove that Zhou Ruyu had an affair with somebody. Since Shi Qingxue dared to show this letter in public, she must have confirmed that this letter was written by Zhou Ruyu, whose attitude could also prove everything.

A letter was more convincing than the handkerchief with the word “Hui” in it Zhang Qiuyan had taken out. Before Mo Shujun checked the letter, she could be sure that Zhou Ruyu had an affair.

But hesitation was rarely shown on Mo Shujun’s tense face, and she didn’t receive the letter from Shi Qingxue at once.

If she received it, she would surely get the result.

Mo Shujun didn’t worry if Zhou Ruyu would be hurt. An incapable daughter-in-law had an affair, and it was fine if her reputation was ruined, but if Shi Juncai was implicated, it would…
