What!

murder!

The onlookers were confused. Why did this suddenly turn into a murder case? Wasn't it about Mo Yunmei?

Could it be...?

The others weren't stupid. Recalling that the mute girl had fallen off the cliff not long after she arrived, they wondered if Mo Yunmei had done it.

Many villagers came out to help search for her, as they thought she was gone. Fortunately, she eventually climbed up the vines herself!

If this was really done by Mo Yunmei, then it's a bit terrifying. This person seems carefree, but I never expected her to be so vicious!

He could actually do that to a living, breathing person, his own sister-in-law!

If that's the case, no wonder they won't let us in!

Why are they even trying to get in? If they dare to come in, we'll give them a good beating!

Moreover, I heard that Mo Yunmei is not a member of the Mo family, but was just fostered by the Mo family. Now that she has returned to her own home, she is envious of the Mo family's new house and wants to move in too!

Pooh!

The way everyone looked at Li Yunmei changed; it was all contempt, disdain, scorn, and ridicule!

Li Yunmei thought everyone was on her side, so she pretended to cry and wail, acting as if Su Nanxi had done something heinous to her!

"Don't believe her! I grew up here, don't you know what kind of person I am? This ugly woman is a habitual liar and scheming woman who loves to sow discord. You just haven't seen it! Don't be fooled by her! Our entire Mo family has been completely deceived by her!"

When people are watching a drama unfold, they tend to side with the weaker party. To put it bluntly, they're more likely to sympathize with whoever is suffering the most.

Otherwise, why would so many people cry and whine to gain sympathy when they have conflicts or disputes?

Upon hearing this, the onlookers, who had been certain, began to waver again. They had indeed watched Li Yunmei grow up!

Li Yunmei secretly cast a smug glance at Su Nanxi. Hmph! Trying to outwit her? Let's see who believes the words of an ugly woman!

When Li Yunmei was in the Mo family, she hadn't witnessed much infighting. The three branches of the Mo family got along quite harmoniously. But after returning to the Li family, it was a complete mess, full of intrigue and backstabbing. To survive, you had to be a little cunning. So, under her influence, Li Yunmei learned some tricks of the trade.

Li Yunmei's gaze and her thoughts could not escape Su Nanxi's sharp eyes. Tsk! It seems that returning to the Li family has its advantages; at least she's regained some of her intelligence!

Su Nanxi continued to playfully twirl her hair, looking completely calm and collected, showing no signs of having an argument with anyone!

Some onlookers did speak up for Li Yunmei; those were mostly elderly women, whose hearts were filled with compassion as they aged.

Li Yunmei became even more smug. "Hmph! This ugly woman has only been here a short time, yet she thinks she can shake my position? Dream on!"

In her smugness, she forgot how ugly she is now!

Also, this stuff can relieve pain, look at her, she doesn't feel any pain in her face at all!

But younger people aren't so emotional. They have brains, they can think and weigh things, they won't easily take sides, and they're still observing.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows what's going on with the Mo family right now.

Who helped the Mo family achieve their current success?

The answer is already clear!

The Mo family used to be even poorer than them, but ever since the mute woman came, they immediately started a business and quickly became wealthy!

Even the small workshops in the village used recipes taught to them by the mute woman!

If they want to do business and make money in the future, they might have to ask the mute girl for help!

Although the mute girl has only been here a short time, she has so many skills. Why did she have to scheme to stay in the Mo family when there are so many other options?

These days, divorced women are in high demand!

What's more, they have the ability to make money; there's not enough of them to go around!

Sigh! Why were they so unlucky to not meet a wife who could make a lot of money!

Therefore, they felt that the one who jumped the most was the most suspicious!

Li Yunmei thought that some people had sided with her and that the situation should quickly turn one-sided, but unfortunately, after a long while, only two or three old women were talking weakly, and she panicked a little.

Isn't she miserable enough? Why are people still unmoved?

What's the point of these old women talking? They just repeat the same few sentences over and over!

"Are you done talking? Now it's my turn to speak!" Su Nanxi, annoyed by the old ladies' nagging, interrupted their chatter without even looking up.

Su Nanxi loosened her hair, letting it fall naturally, then clapped her hands, still maintaining her calm demeanor.

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her, wondering what she would say.

Could they really reveal the truth about falling off the cliff?

Wouldn't that ruin Mo Yunmei's reputation?

Everyone held their breath in suspense, but they didn't think Mo Yunmei was innocent!

They've all gone back to their own homes and are doing just fine, so what's there to be jealous of? They want to get into the Mo family, so they come here to cause trouble!

Does she really think this is her home, where she can just come and go as she pleases?

Human greed is insatiable; people want what doesn't belong to them!

If she hadn't come, the mute girl probably wouldn't have had time to even think of settling scores with her!

Serves you right!

Everyone thought Su Nanxi was about to reveal the truth about the fall off the cliff, but Su Nanxi didn't. "You've all finished, now it's my turn! I'll reiterate here again, this person's name is Li Yunmei, not Mo Yunmei! Our Mo family has no such person! From the moment she returned to the Li family, she has had no relation to the Mo family whatsoever! Our Mo family has never owed the Li family anything. Raising her for the Li family was already more than enough. Who she is in the future is none of our business! But if she dares to claim to be a member of the Mo family again and tries to gain an advantage from the Mo family, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

There was an uproar among the crowd. Earlier, when Old Mrs. Mo said that Mo Yunmei had returned to her own home and was no longer a member of the Mo family and would never come back, she said it in a very calm tone. They felt that Old Mrs. Mo was heartless. They had raised her for so many years, and now she just wanted to give her up!

Now the mute woman is even more ruthless!

They've completely severed ties and won't even allow Mo Yunmei—no, I should say Li Yunmei—to have any contact with them! Any further contact will result in violence!

How could the Mo family be so heartless?

What exactly happened between the Mo family and the Li family?

This even made the Mo family, who are usually good-tempered, lose their temper!

Su Nanxi naturally noticed everyone's confusion. She raised her chin, looked at Li Yunmei with a meaningful gaze, and said in a light tone, "You want to know? Ask her! She knows everything! Including why the Mo family raised her, and why the Mo family cut ties with her!"

As soon as Su Nanxi said that, everyone looked at Li Yunmei and even surrounded her, chattering and asking questions.

A gossipy heart is indispensable; after all, there are too few entertainment programs in the village, and we can't miss out on any of them!

Anyone who knows little is simply short-sighted!

This is a huge piece of gossip today, I need to really digest it!

Li Yunmei didn't expect Su Nanxi to turn the tables on her, and she kept backing away as she was questioned one by one.

What is she supposed to say?

If I told her, would she still have a chance to enter the Mo family mansion?

She knows nothing, what could she possibly know!

So Li Yunmei could only cry and didn't answer.

"Mute girl, what about the murder?"

"You don't believe me anyway, so why are you asking me? If you want to know, ask her!"
