Chapter 552: Chapter 552

Ming Yufang’s voice filled with fury echoed throughout the room.

The undisguised disgust for Xie Ruotong amused Xie Ruilin to no end.

No matter what Xie Ruotong did.

Even if the chicken soup had nothing in it, even if Xie Ruotong had only good intentions to show, but because she was pregnant, no matter how hard Xie Ruotong tried, it was all in vain; she would never gain recognition.

A woman’s worth is her children, a notion unaltered since ancient times.

She could act as she pleased, sheltering behind her pregnancy.

Whatever Xie Ruotong does, she could never compare!

"Mother-in-law, I brought the chicken soup to my sister-in-law with good intentions. But I was accused by you of harboring ulterior motives." Facing Ming Yufang’s scolding, Xie Ruotong’s expression was calm and breezy as she took the bowl of chicken soup from Xie Ruilin’s hand and elegantly drank it herself.

Drinking it was to tell everyone that there was nothing in the soup.

Ming Yufang’s eyes tightened as she watched Xie Ruotong’s actions.

She had indeed been somewhat agitated a moment ago.

In truth, upon calming down and thinking it over, Xie Ruotong brazenly bringing the chicken soup to Xie Ruilin wouldn’t have really done anything to it. Should Xie Ruilin have something happen to her after drinking the soup, it would certainly be traced back to Xie Ruotong, who wouldn’t be foolish to that extent.

It was because she had been too irrational earlier.

Additionally, Xie Ruilin had given her the wrong impression, making her believe from the moment she walked in that Xie Ruotong was up to something with Xie Ruilin. Follow current novels on novel·fire·net

Ming Yufang took a deep breath, about to speak and explain when.

Xie Ruotong, having finished her chicken soup, said slowly and deliberately, "Mother-in-law, you just said, I resorted to despicable means to curse my sister-in-law."

"Let’s not dwell on this past issue. Besides, Qiao’er has already died and received her retribution, so let’s let bygones be bygones. From now on, we should all live together in harmony, and I will not allow anyone to bring this up again." Ming Yufang, with the demeanor of a housewife, appeared to be magnanimous and forgiving.

She said, "This matter, can’t just be let go."

"Xie Ruotong!" Ming Yufang was once again infuriated by Xie Ruotong.

This woman, too unappreciative!

"The deed of cursing my sister-in-law with petty spells was not my doing." Xie Ruotong remained indifferent to Ming Yufang’s anger, stressing each word.

"I didn’t say it was you who did it." Ming Yufang said impatiently, "It was Qiao’er acting on her own, and she has already killed herself out of guilt! So let’s just drop it."

"It wasn’t Qiao’er either."

"Xie Ruotong, don’t push your luck, and be ungrateful. A mere maid doesn’t have the guts to do such a thing. We’ve all turned a blind eye, so don’t be ungrateful! I’m also telling you clearly, as long as the family lives in harmony from now on, the Song Family won’t pursue this further, and you needn’t keep defending yourself!"

Xie Ruotong just looked at Ming Yufang casually.

Slowly, "I have evidence."

Ming Yufang’s expression darkened slightly.

"I said, I have evidence that neither Qiao’er nor I did it," Xie Ruotong stated slowly and clearly.

"Xie Ruotong, Qiao’er already confessed with a signed testimony! Stop humiliating yourself over and over!"

"After Qiao’er signed the confession, she died." Xie Ruotong looked at Ming Yufang, "Mother-in-law, don’t you find that odd?"

"Or is it, mother-in-law, that you’re deliberately shielding someone?" Xie Ruotong’s eyes were cold.

"I am the housewife, I have always been fair and just!" Ming Yufang’s complexion turned even uglier when challenged by Xie Ruotong.

"If it’s fair, why won’t mother-in-law allow me to present my evidence."

"I just don’t want to waste everyone’s time, nor do I want to embarrass you any further."

"I will not be embarrassed." Xie Ruotong said coldly, "The one embarrassed will be someone else!"

With those words, her gaze shifted briefly towards Xie Ruilin.

At this moment, Xie Ruilin was naturally feeling uneasy inside.

Xie Ruotong was so confident.

Had she truly discovered something?!

All those who knew have already been secretly sent away by her.

Except for her and Chun Tao.

Chun Tao definitely would never confess to death.

Xie Ruilin silently strove to keep herself calm.

"After presenting the evidence, if mother-in-law still feels I’m being unreasonable, I am willing to accept the punishment of twenty beatings!" Xie Ruotong’s tone was firm as she looked at Ming Yufang, "Consider it as compensation to my husband and Mu Dong. From now on, this matter shall never be mentioned again!"

"Fine!" Ming Yufang agreed.

Xie Ruotong had gone this far, and she had no grounds to refuse.

She was indeed curious to see what tricks Xie Ruotong was planning to play!
