Those who had originally just come to watch the excitement now stayed and squeezed even closer to Shui Qing.
Sang Rou narrowed her eyes slightly and frowned in disgust.
They only believe that Shui Qing didn't tell the truth!
Ling Ran just went to Sihui to look for Ling Ce, how could he not have come back?
The thin, fair-skinned boy supporting Sang Rou pointed at Shui Qing and scolded, "You're lying! Ling Ran is definitely back. Where else could he be if not here? Are you trying to cover for him by lying all the time!"
Ling Ran has no money and no food; he'd starve to death outside! He's not going to leave.
Being pointed at and reprimanded in one's face is certainly not a pleasant feeling. Before Shui Qing could even speak, the group of women around her couldn't help but speak up.
Li Dani took the lead and said bluntly, "Who do you think you are! How dare you say my wife is lying!"
Aunt Zhang slapped his hand away, pointed back, and yelled, "Shuiqing said she's not here, so she's not here! What right do you have to say she's lying? Where Lingran is is none of our business! If you don't know, why should we?"
Aunt Li snorted coldly: "You think you're something special? Who's going to use you to stir-fry dishes?" She really thinks she's something special.
Shuiqing had known for a long time that middle-aged and elderly women were particularly strong, but today she felt extremely comfortable.
That's right, that's the kind of people you need to deal with! They won't suffer any losses.
Ling Qiang was not only slapped away, but also had his face pointed at and he was cursed at. He was immediately displeased and winked at the servant boy beside him.
The pageboy and servant boy had a blank expression on their faces and remained motionless.
They weren't unaware, but they were too afraid. Look at these aunties and older women, so strong and robust, each one of them was as big as two of them! If a fight really broke out, they were afraid of being thrown out.
Seeing her son being verbally abused, Sang Rou trembled with anger and stammered, "You, you, you are extremely rude! Is this how you treat your guests?"
Shui Qing wanted to laugh, but she held it back. "But you're asking me to hand over the person. It doesn't seem like you're here to visit, or to repay a debt of gratitude. It seems more like you're here to arrest a criminal."
By the way, when your son falsely accused me, you didn't say a word. Now that my people are pointing fingers at him and stating the truth, you jump out and say we're rude. You—hey, you can't treat Ling Ran the same way you treated him—on me.
She wasn't unaware of the power struggles within a family, though she didn't need to participate; after all, she hadn't been reading novels for nothing over the years.
This trick would have left Ling Ran speechless if used on a teenager, but she is not Ling Ran, nor is she a teenager.
Sang Rou never expected that a country woman would be so quick-witted and sharp-tongued; she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
Ling Qiang retorted indignantly, "What nonsense are you talking about! My mother treats Ling Ran so well. She gives him all the best food, drinks, and materials, and all the pretty maids and servants first. Even when he makes a mistake outside, it is my mother who pleads for him in front of my father!"
What more do you want my mother to do? It's clearly his own fault for being so useless, always making Father angry.
Shui Qing let out a long "Oh," and asked, "Did your mother only choose maids and servants of average appearance for you to serve you, and strictly require you to study hard and make progress?"
Ling Qiang asked suspiciously, "How did you know?"
Sang Rou quickly tugged at her son's sleeve.
She was now somewhat afraid of the country woman in front of her.
I just hope the master has never seen her!
