Facing Qin's questioning, Gu Yunran remained calm: "Auntie is always like this, putting all the blame on me without even asking a single question."
Qin pointed at Gu Yunran's nose and said, "How can I wrongly accuse you?"
Madam Mu's face turned ugly and she interrupted Qin: "Shut up!"
"Listen to what Yunran has to say."
Qin curled her lips and snorted: "With so many eyes watching, should I fight?"
"The old lady always gives him the opportunity to quibble. His heart is biased towards grandma's family."
Madam Mu glanced at Qin with a cold look: "If you keep on being so unreasonable, I will let the boss divorce you!"
Qin: ...
She shut her mouth obediently. It was she who schemed to marry Mu Wanli. Mu Wanli had treated her with respect over the years, but Qin knew clearly that Mu Wanli had no interest in her at all. If it weren't for the strict education of the Mu family, Mu Wanli would have divorced her and married his childhood sweetheart long ago.
If Madam Mu really asked Mu Wanli to divorce her, she would really be kicked out of the Qin family.
"Mother, I was wrong."
Qin lowered her head, as obedient as a little white rabbit.
Madam Mu's expression finally softened. She looked at Gu Yunran and said, "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Gu Yunran thanked the old lady and looked at Qin Caihong. Qin Caihong had woken up and responded.
Gu Yunran looked at her and asked, "Ms. Qin, was it me who pushed you into the water?"
"I was quite a distance away from you at that time."
Qin Caihong thought about it and shook her head: "No."
Although she hated Gu Yunran and wanted to teach her a lesson, she would do it openly and not wrongly accuse her.
Qin smacked her lips, her eyes wide as copper bells as she stared at her niece: "No, no, it's not her."
Qin Caihong nodded: "He was in front of me, I pushed her and pushed her aside, and then..."
"Then I felt a pain in my foot and fell into the lake. Maybe... maybe I fell in by myself."
Qin curled her lips. Although she felt guilty, she would never apologize to Gu Yunran.
Mu Qianjiao looked at her cousin with disappointment. She didn't even seize such a good opportunity to teach Gu Yunran a lesson.
However, she didn't dare show it, for fear of being discovered by Madam Mu and being scolded. She hid behind the crowd with her head down, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Princess Pingyang stood by and watched all this quietly with an expressionless face.
Mu Qianxue asked Qin Caihong to help her up and handed her to the maid beside her.
"Hurry up and take my cousin to change into clean clothes."
"yes."
Lianxin took Chen Caihong to Mu Qianxue's yard.
Mu Qianxue walked up to Gu Yunran, held her hand, bowed gently, and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Second sister-in-law, my mother was confused for a moment and wrongly blamed you. Please don't blame her."
"Rainbow is her only child. She was so concerned that she said something harsh. You must not take it personally."
The little girl had a face that looked weak and pitiful, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind. She looked very pitiful.
Her words made outsiders think that Gu Yunran was the kind of difficult young man who bullied Qin in some unknown way.
The looks of the young ladies from various families when they looked at Gu Yunran changed. Some were even whispering. Gu Yunran couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but he knew it was definitely not good.
She cleared her throat and pulled Mu Qianxue up: "Second sister, get up quickly, what are you doing?"
"If you kneel like this, I'm afraid you'll be scolded by Auntie again."
As Gu Yunran spoke, her eyes turned red. She took a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. She wiped her eyes red, as if she was really afraid of Qin.
At this time, everyone looked at Qin differently, and some even looked at her with unfriendly eyes.
Many of them are unmarried girls, and they are thinking about finding a husband in the future, so they must find out about their sister-in-law's character.
They would stay away from sisters-in-law like Qin who are difficult to deal with. Such people are not fit to be mothers-in-law at all. They don't know how to control their daughters-in-law.
Madam Mu glanced at Mu Qianxue. This granddaughter was the smartest among her three granddaughters, and she loved her the most. Although she saw Mu Qianxue's behavior clearly, she still couldn't bear to blame her. She said softly, "Okay, Qianxue, your makeup has been ruined by crying. Go back and touch it up."
"Suxin, take the second young lady back to the courtyard to change her clothes."
"yes."
Su Xin helped Mu Qianxue walk away. Mu Qianxue rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief.
Qin looked at her daughter with heartache, and felt even more resentment towards Gu Yunran.
Her daughter was raised in the palm of her hand, and she had never been willing to say a harsh word to her. But she had only been back for over a month and she had already knelt down twice in front of Gu Yunran. Her proud daughter did it all for her as a mother.
Qin glared at Gu Yunran fiercely and said to Madam Mu, "Mother, I'm going to go see Xue'er."
"Go ahead."
Madam Mu let her go, and then she said to Gu Yunran, "You must be tired after all this trouble. Go back to the yard and rest."
"By the way, did your cousin hurt you just now?" She ordered the maid beside her to ask the palace doctor to check on Gu Yunran.
"Why."
Madam Mu then let everyone go. She rubbed her brows with a headache and said, "There have been too many troubles in the mansion recently."
Mother Mu held onto Old Madam Mu's arm and said with a smile, "There's no peace in the backyard of a wealthy family."
