Her gaze was so sharp that Lu Jin and Lin Peirou were so frightened that they froze on the spot.
They dared not go forward again.
Lu's mother and her husband also turned pale, and they wanted to say something.
But Shen Qingtang gave him a cold glance, and he swallowed his words.
Those around watched this scene, but no one dared to utter a sound. After so many things, everyone knew that Shen Qingtang was no longer the pushover she once was.
Lu Jiaojiao covered her swollen face, tears and snot streaming down her face, and cursed in a shrill voice, "Shen Qingtang! I curse you to die a horrible death! I curse your whole family to die!"
Lu Jin and Lin Peirou glared at Shen Qingtang.
Lin Peirou raised her voice even higher: "She's your own daughter! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how can you be so cruel to her!"
"So what if she's my own daughter?" Shen Qingtang's eyes were icy, and her tone was devoid of any warmth. "If I had known she would grow up to be such a vicious person, I should have strangled her when she was born, so she wouldn't be harming herself and others now!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the dilapidated temple.
"That's too cruel! She's still my own daughter, no matter what!"
"Exactly! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could she say such a thing?"
"I used to think she was impressive, but I never expected her to be so heartless!"
There were many voices of discussion, most of which criticized Shen Qingtang.
Only Qin Xian frowned and spoke up: "If she didn't do anything wrong, why would Miss Shen be so angry? It's not Miss Shen's fault that the child has been raised like this."
After Qin Xian finished speaking to help Shen Qingtang, he saw Shen's father looking at him, so he immediately looked away and coughed twice.
He explained curtly, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not speaking up for your daughter, I just can't stand people distorting the truth. That brat cursed someone first, she deserved to be slapped, it has nothing to do with your Shen family."
He spoke forcefully, but the tips of his ears were secretly turning red.
His hands were unconsciously behind his back, as if to say, "I'm just stating the facts," a perfect example of someone who says one thing but does another.
Seeing his awkward expression, Shen's father couldn't help but smile. The two had been fighting for most of their lives.
How could he not know Qin Xian's character?
Although she seems to be at odds with the Shen family at every turn, she is actually the most protective of her own and the most fair-minded. Her words just now clearly show that she genuinely believes Qing Tang is right.
"I understand." Father Chen suppressed a laugh and deliberately went along with him, "Thank you, Brother Qin, for your fair and impartial words."
Qin Xian was taken aback by his words, glared at Chen's father, and said nothing more.
Lu's mother wailed and cried, "What a tragedy! How could there be a mother like you! Jiaojiao is so young, how could you be so heartless..."
Shen Qingtang was too lazy to listen to these people's moral blackmail and glanced at the crowd.
Finally, he went straight to Su Lingyu, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in front of him.
Then, she picked up Lu Jiaojiao, who was still crying, and shoved her in front of Su Lingyu, coldly saying, "Since you all think I'm not good to my daughter, then you can have this daughter. Do you want her?"
Startled, Su Lingyu retreated repeatedly, waving her hands and screaming, "I don't want to! I don't want this little madwoman!"
She had just witnessed Lu Jiaojiao cursing someone to death, so how could she possibly be willing to take on this hot potato?
Shen Qingtang looked at her flustered appearance, sneered, and turned to look at those who were criticizing her: "What? You were all speaking so righteously just now, and now that you're letting her take her away, nobody wants her?"
