"I'm going to hit you!" Qu Shuangyue shouted. "My Yan'er said she didn't go, and that means she didn't go. She's an honest girl and she wouldn't lie."
"But you, you harbored ill intentions and plotted against our Yan'er."
"After she saw through your hypocrisy, she broke off the engagement, but you held a grudge and actually used such a despicable method to scheme against her!"
Zhou Chenyang angrily retorted, "She's an honest girl? That's laughable! I have witnesses; I saw her enter the gambling den with my own eyes!"
Qu Shuangyue sneered: "Witnesses? Who doesn't know that the gambling dens in Chongqing are your private property, and everyone in them is your man?"
"Not to mention, you are the city lord of Yucheng. If you want to smear someone, who would dare not cooperate with you?"
"So no matter what you say, they'll admit it. What kind of witnesses are they?"
"Unless you were there and caught the cigarette, I won't believe your side of the story!"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
He really didn't expect that Qu Shuangyue would not only be able to take action but also never use words, and that she would have so many fallacies!
He glared at Qu Shuangyue and said, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, and I have absolutely no connection with gambling dens..."
"Really?" Qu Shuangyue looked at him and said, "Then should I find some evidence to prove this matter and then report it to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion?"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
He looked at Qu Shuangyue with some shock.
Qu Shuangyue looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Don't look at me like that. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place!"
Zhou Chenyang's facial muscles twitched. He felt that his previous understanding of Qu Shuangyue might not have been accurate.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Putting all that aside, it's a fact that you beat me up in public today!"
Qu Shuangyue shoved the knife into the ground, put her hands on her hips, and said, "You did something that hurt my daughter, making her so angry that she broke off the engagement with you."
"I don't know what happened yet, but that doesn't stop me from being angry."
“As her biological mother, I feel there is nothing wrong with me standing up for her.”
"So the person I just hit was my daughter's ex-fiancé, who is some damn city lord."
"If you're not satisfied, I'll take the evidence of your gambling den to the Prince of Pingnan for judgment!"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
Zhou Chenyang: "!!!!!!!"
Qu Shuangyue actually dared to threaten him!
The main concern was that Qu Shuangyue's threats terrified him; he was genuinely afraid that Qu Shuangyue had something on him.
He gave Lin Xiuyan a cold look, snorted, and turned away.
Lin Xiuyan gave Qu Shuangyue a thumbs up; her mother was indeed still the unreasonable mother she remembered.
She likes it very much!
She praised her mother: "Mom, you shut Zhou Chenyang down so badly he couldn't say a word! You're really amazing!"
Seeing that Zhou Chenyang had already walked far away, Qu Shuangyue reached out and pinched Lin Xiuyan's ear, saying with a forced smile, "Lin Xiuyan, you've really grown up!"
"Now you dare to go to gambling dens! I've only been away from home for a short time, do you think you can get away with this?"
Lin Xiuyan cried out in pain, "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Mother, be gentle!"
Qu Shuangyue wouldn't listen to her; she grabbed her ear and dragged her inside.
Lin Yunzhi hurriedly came over and said, "Yue'er, this matter really has nothing to do with Yan'er..."
Qu Shuangyue shot a glare at him and roared, "Lin Yunzhi, I haven't even caused you any trouble yet, and you still dare to plead for her!"
"Just because I haven't hit you for a few days, you think you can get away with anything?!"
Lin Yunzhi: "..."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
This was the first time she had ever heard that Qu Shuangyue could actually beat up Lin Yunzhi!
Lin Yunzhi winked at Qu Shuangyue: "The child is here, give me some face."
"Pah!" Qu Shuangyue said irritably, "So you do know how to save face!"
She grew angrier as she spoke, pointing her finger at Lin Xiuyan's forehead and saying, "Tell me yourself, how much trouble has this girl caused over the years!"
“Every few days, someone comes to my house demanding an explanation. She's made me lose all face!”
"All you do is spoil her all day long. Look at what you've done to her!"
Lin Yunzhi said softly, "I think Yan'er is quite nice."
"Good my foot!" Qu Shuangyue cursed, "She's even daring to gamble at the casino now! If this continues, she'll probably tear the house down!"
Lin Yunzhi hurriedly said, "Yue'er, let me explain. It's not what you think. I was the one who sent her to the gambling den..."
Qu Shuangyue immediately released Lin Xiuyan and twisted Lin Yunzhi's ear instead: "Lin Yunzhi, I've only been away from home for a month, and you're already getting cocky?"
As soon as Lin Xiuyan was free, she jumped far away: "Dad, you'd better explain to Mom properly. I'm going back to my room first!"
Lin Yunqi: "..."
His little darling is a bit drafty!
Lin Xiuyan rubbed her ears, which were red and burning from being pinched by Qu Shuangyue, and chuckled softly. With that chuckle, tears welled up in her eyes again.
These tears are not from pain, but from joy.
Qu Shuangyue has a bad temper and will beat people up at the slightest disagreement.
Lin Xiuyan had been beaten by her many times in her previous life. In addition, she kept saying that Zhou Chenyang was not a good match and forced her to break off the engagement with Zhou Chenyang, so the relationship between the mother and daughter was very tense.
However, every time she encountered difficulties, Qu Shuangyue would scold her but would protect her with all her might.
And what about her? She repeatedly hurt Qu Shuangyue, ultimately causing Qu Shuangyue to die of anger.
After seeing through Zhou Chenyang's true colors, Lin Xiuyan realized that Qu Shuangyue's words were all wise advice.
During those days of unbearable suffering in her previous life, how much she wished Qu Shuangyue would scold her a few more times, beat her up, and then take her away from the sea of misery, but it was just wishful thinking.
Now that she has been reborn, and Qu Shuangyue is twisting her ears again, although it hurts a little, she feels very warm inside.
She sniffed, only to find Ye Junfei standing not far away.
She thought he had left after his outburst of anger today, but he was still there. She quickly wiped away her tears and asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes swept across her face as he looked at her tenderly and said, "Do you want me to just leave and never see you again?"
Lin Xiuyan chuckled and said, "No way! I still need you to protect me!"
Looking at her fake smile, Ye Junfei felt a little annoyed. She always seemed guarded around him and never got close to him.
He swung open his folding fan and said calmly, "That's right, you still owe me Blood Jade Grass. How could I leave before you deliver the Blood Jade Grass to me?"
Lin Xiuyan's smile froze on her face. She had always felt that he had already obtained the Blood Jade Grass when he burned down the City Lord's Mansion that day.
But since he wouldn't admit it, and she hadn't seen him take it with her own eyes, it became clear that she still owed him the Blood Jade Grass.
Blood Jade Grass is extremely rare; even though the Lin family is in the medicinal herb business, it is very difficult to find.
This matter suddenly entered a vicious cycle, giving Lin Xiuyan a huge headache!
