It wasn’t like there was any deep hatred between them, yet Shen Fanxing was so ruthless.
“Not to the extent of killing her. I believe Fanxing knows her limits. If she really wants to kill her, when Jinchuan wants to shoot Sichun, she won’t stop him!”
If one had to talk about the fact that she had almost beaten someone to death, one had to say that it was Si Chun! I saw it with my own eyes. The young lady beside her had no feud with her either. Not only did she whip Fanxing, but she also whipped that child off his horse and was almost trampled to death by her hooves. That child… What was she thinking back then?
Ye Zhiqing was shocked. Her cold expression finally cracked.
However, what shocked her was not the fact that Yuan Sichun had pulled the girl off the horse and was almost trampled to death, but—
“You mean… Jinchuan almost shot Sichun to death?”
The old man pursed his lips and snorted.
She scoffed at Ye Zhiqing’s focus.
Thinking of how much Sichun had cried upstairs, Ye Zhiqing’s heart turned cold.
She was almost beaten to death by the man she liked. Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
Pursing her lips, Lou Ruoyi’s expression darkened.
The old man didn’t say anything else. The atmosphere in the living room was awkward.
Madam Chen watched from the side for a long time and felt a little anxious. Why did it seem like Old Master was siding with that woman?
“It seems like Old Master is very satisfied with that woman called Shen Fanxing.”
After a long while, Ye Zhiqing suddenly spoke.
The old man’s expression was calm. “I’m just stating the facts. I was there and I know who was right and who was wrong. I’m not satisfied, but she’s someone that Jinchuan values! If Sichun hadn’t gone overboard, Jinchuan wouldn’t have wanted to kill her!”
“…”
There was another silence.
Not long after, the sound of a car engine sounded outside.
Bo Sichen walked in with Lou Ruoyi and the rest.
Sensing the discord in the living room, Lou Ruoyi snorted coldly.
The old master naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to greet them. Ye Zhiqing was in a gloomy mood now, but she stood up first and smiled at Lou Ruoyi.
“Sister-in-law, you’re finally back.”
Lou Ruoyi smiled and pushed Bo Sichen away. She walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
“How was it? Did you see Sichun?”
The smile on Ye Zhiqing’s face froze and she almost couldn’t hold it in.
“I have.”
Lou Ruoyi smiled. “Do you have anything to say by calling me back?”
Ye Zhiqing looked at Lou Ruoyi’s composed face and stopped smiling.
“Sister-in-law, what do you think I should say?”
The truth was right in front of her. Yuan Sichun had suffered the most.
She even emphasized the fact that she wanted to be a mother.
She pushed the question back to Lou Ruoyi. Her intention was obvious. She wanted to see what explanation Lou Ruoyi would give her.
Lou Ruoyi sat on the sofa with her long and slender legs. She looked dignified and elegant.
Upon hearing Ye Zhiqing’s words, a dignified and harmless smile appeared on her face.
What should he do?
“Of course she should apologize.”
“…”
Ye Zhiqing’s face turned cold instantly.
Lou Ruoyi observed her expression with a faint smile.
Being with Bo Sichen, she had seen everything.
How could she not see through Ye Zhiqing’s tricks?
He wanted to use her mouth to deal with Fanxing. Why was he dreaming?
Shen Fanxing was still standing by the door. When she heard Lou Ruoyi’s words, a smile appeared on her face.
Her mother-in-law’s status had never been low.
Ye Zhiqing didn’t expect Lou Ruoyi to say that and couldn’t react in time.
In her prediction, in order to maintain the relationship between the two families, she had to apologize to Shen Fanxing.
The matter had been resolved.
Then she wouldn’t be able to get through this easily.
Yet, she wanted her to convince Sichun to apologize?
“Who should Sichun apologize to?” She felt that she might have misunderstood something.
“Of course it’s for Fanxing.” Her attitude and tone could be described as matter-of-fact.
There was a ten-second silence in the living room.
“Madam, on the day Miss Sichun came, you might not have taken a closer look. Her body… was beaten by Miss Shen… There’s not a single intact spot. You’ve watched Miss Sichun grow up. She’s a pampered young lady who has never suffered such grievances. Isn’t it too much to ask Miss Sichun to apologize?”
It was Mother Chen who said those words.
These words also involved the fact that Lou Ruoyi had watched Yuan Sichun grow up. She even emphasized Yuan Sichun’s noble status as the eldest daughter of the Yuan family.
She was trying to remind Lou Ruoyi to know which was more important and which was closer!
Clearly, the Yuan Sichun she was referring to was the person Lou Ruoyi should be close to and biased towards.
“Ms. Chen.”
Lou Ruoyi’s gaze landed on the coffee table in front of her. She didn’t even turn her head. “How did you become a servant for the rest of your life?”
Madam Chen’s face darkened.
“What?”
Lou Ruoyi raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Madam Chen.
“Who taught you that servants can interrupt when their master is speaking? Did you not realize your identity or did you not take me seriously?”
Madam Chen’s breathing deepened.
“What are you saying?!” Old Master suddenly frowned and berated, “What do you mean by servants?!”
Lou Ruoyi snorted and said, “She’s the one who called herself a servant in front of me. Moreover, she’s indeed a servant. Since ancient times, there’s no reason for a servant to interrupt the conversation of her masters. She takes the salary of the Bo family and can’t do her job well. She even tried to influence the decisions of her masters. As the mistress of the family, can’t I say anything now?”
Madam Chen pursed her lips and glanced at the old man. Her eyes were red from anger or grievance.
“I was just being kind. Madam is right. I did say too much… But I don’t think there’s anything I didn’t do well…”
“Really? Are you saying that you don’t care about me at all?”
Madam Chen was shocked. “Madam, what are you saying? You’re the wife of the Bo family’s head. How would I dare to disregard you?”
“Then why can’t I even get a sip of water from you?”
Madam Chen’s face darkened. She glanced at the empty coffee table in front of Lou Ruoyi and pursed her lips.
“… I forgot.”
