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

“Grandma?” Shi Qingxue called her softly and moved the letter in her hand forward.

She forced Mo Shujun to reach out her hand and receive the letter.

Mo Shujun unfolded it and found it really was Zhou Ruyu’s handwriting.

She didn’t have the chance to feel lucky anymore and raised her head all of a sudden. She glared at Zhou Ruyu. “Zhou, see what you have done! You just humiliate our family.”

Zhou Ruyu shrank her neck as she was glared at, but she was reluctant to admit her guilt. She just conducted desperate struggles. “Mother, please trust me. I really didn’t do that.”

She suddenly goggled at Shi Qingxue and accused her quickly. “It must be her! She fabricated this letter on purpose and just wanted to frame me. Mother, please observe carefully and prove my innocence.”

“So this letter wasn’t written by you?” Mo Shujun’s eyes rolled, and something bright flashed in her old and sharp eyes.

Zhou Ruyu understood instantly and shouted in a louder voice, “Right. It was not written by me. If you don’t believe me, I can point out something wrong, Mother.”

After hearing that, Mo Shujun really stretched out her hand and gave the letter to Zhou Ruyu, asking casually, “How would you prove that this letter was not written by you?”

Zhou Ruyu’s eyes lit up, and before Shi Qingxue stopped her, she grabbed that letter.

She tore that thin letter into pieces openly in an instant and then threw them to Shi Qingxue.

“You!” Shi Qingxue was open-mouthed and laughed because she was too furious.

All people present were stunned.

They never expected that Zhou Ruyu could ruin the evidence in public.

After doing that, Zhou Ruyu didn’t feel guilty at all but smiled at Shi Qingxue with provocation. “Huh! Didn’t you talk about the evidence? Where is the evidence now?”

Xia Mang yelled in a rage, “Didn’t you ruin the evidence just now? How do you have the face to ask where the evidence is?”

Zhou Ruyu refused to admit her fault in a flagrant way. Did she think that everybody was blind and foolish?

She even swelled out her chest and stated shamelessly, “I don’t care. Anyway, the evidence has gone now. Only you have seen the letter, and there is no witness, so you just framed me.”

Shi Qingxue wanted to say that she was convinced as Zhou Ruyu could act shamelessly in such an aggressive way.

She smiled and turned her clear eyes to Mo Shujun again, stating expressionlessly but seriously, “Grandma has also seen the letter, and she is the witness.”

While speaking, Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Shujun all the time, and her eyes were bright and clean, with admiration and love, and expectancy that was not obvious but existed.

She thought secretly, “Grandma, this is the last time. Hope that you won’t let me down anymore.”

Mo Shujun looked solemn and nobody could see her emotion. When Shi Qingxue looked at her, she even turned away slightly and avoided her granddaughter’s eyes.

Then she stated impassively but in a dignified manner, “The words in the letter were like what Qingxue said indeed, but I don’t know Zhou’s handwriting, so I can’t tell if this letter was written by her.”

As soon as she finished her words, some people around took deep breaths.

Mo Shujun said that and denied the fact that Zhou Ruyu had an affair, and she indicated that Shi Qingxue might have done it evilly in order to frame Zhou Ruyu.

Nobody was so capable of lying as Mo Shujun.

Zhou Ruyu escaped from the crisis and showed a big smile on her face immediately. She even smiled at Shi Qingxue with provocation, seeming to say, “Huh, so what even if you found the evidence against me? You still can’t do anything to me at last.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t look at Zhou Ruyu but her eyes still fell on Mo Shujun stubbornly. She stared at her grandma till the expectancy in her eyes disappeared gradually. In the end, she turned to be indifferent.

Mo Shujun pursed her lips slightly. After a while, she even showed a smile with comfort and talked to Qingxue, “Qingxue, were you cheated by the outsiders? Now too many people envy Duke Shi’s family and it’s normal that they want to cast a bone among us through you. Since the truth can hardly be found, let’s not mention it again.”

The princess royal announced, and even though all people were critical of her as she was partial to the third master’s family, they didn’t dare to say anything but yes obediently.

However, Shi Qingxue didn’t agree and looked at Mo Shujun more coldly.

Mo Shujun was always in a high position, and even if she was wrong, others should comfort her.

She had softened and tried to make peace, but Shi Qingxue still yielded to neither the carrot nor the club, so Mo Shujun’s face turned cold immediately. “Qingxue, you…”

“Grandma, since you said that you can’t recognize the handwriting on this letter, we can ask somebody who can recognize it to tell us,” Shi Qingxue suddenly suggested coldly.

She said that, which meant that she didn’t want to let it pass easily.

Mo Shujun paused for a while and lowered her head to look at the pieces of paper on the floor first. After confirming that even somebody with a skillful hand couldn’t make the letter return to what it had been, she was relieved.

She looked at Shi Qingxue forcefully and distantly. “Qingxue, I know that you are stubborn, but this matter has nothing to do with Zhou. Now that you don’t even have the only evidence, why would you find somebody who can recognize it?”

Shi Qingxue smiled and asked in reply, “Who said this letter is the only evidence?”

Mo Shujun was surprised and questioned, “What do you mean?”
