Chapter 618 What is the Self-Proof Trap
At this moment, Su Nuan had already arrived at the gate. There was a group of people standing outside the door. The woman leading the group was actually Zhao Jingcheng's mother, Qin.
Qin didn't suffer much hardship when she came to the north, and she is in good shape.
She is in her forties but still has her charm, but now she is crying and wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Su Nuan stood at the door and watched the fun curiously.
Qin saw Su Nuan, and she immediately rushed over and tried to grab Su Nuan's arm.
Su Nuan was so scared that she stepped back, but she tripped over the threshold and fell backwards.
Just as she lost her balance, a pair of large hands behind her grabbed her shoulders and straightened her up.
Su Nuan felt at ease and turned around to meet Ling Yun's worried eyes.
Ling Yun asked, "Did she bully you?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "Not yet."
Not yet, I don’t know what the situation will be in a while.
Qin looked at Ling Yun, her eyes flashing as she pointed at Su Nuan's nose and cursed, "You slut, you already have a husband and yet you still seduce your uncle."
"And what about my son? He has never left since entering your City Lord's Mansion. Did you kill him?"
Su Nuan was not angry when she heard this. It turned out that after being scolded so many times, she... got used to it.
She smiled faintly: "Which one is your son?"
This old woman had tortured me a lot in my previous life. I hadn't had time to deal with her yet, and now she came to me on her own.
Qin said angrily: "How dare you pretend not to know me? I am your mother-in-law."
Su Nuan took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile, "What kind of mother-in-law are you?"
Ling Yun took a step forward...
Su Nuan quickly stopped him, "Don't do it, women's wars should be fought by women."
Ling Yun asked with a cold look in his eyes: "Why keep someone with such a dirty mouth?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "There hasn't been anything lively in the Northland for a long time. I'll just treat it as her putting on a big show to entertain the people of the Northland."
Most of the people watching the show were good people. When they saw that Su Nuan was willing to sacrifice her reputation so that they could watch the show, they were so moved that their eyes lit up and they were ready to watch the show.
Someone started to jeer, "Mother Qin, which eye of yours saw our deputy city lord being unruly?"
Someone else echoed, "That's right. Our deputy city lord is busy working for the Northland's livelihood. How can he have the time to flirt with men?"
A woman laughed and said, "Our deputy city lord looks so beautiful today. Not to mention stunning beauty, but she's the most beautiful woman in the North. Does she need to seduce a man if she wants one? One glance is enough."
"Haha... the deputy city lord is the most beautiful..."
Su Nuan had already prepared herself to be stared at by everyone, but she didn't expect to be protected by everyone.
At this moment, Su Nuan's heart finally warmed up. Her efforts were noticed by others, and it was all worth it.
Su Nuan bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but we in the North haven't become wealthy yet. I will only have some free time when we can eat meat every day."
"As for what to do after I have some free time, I haven't thought about it yet."
Qin Shi didn't expect that everyone in the North would speak up for Su Nuan. She sneered, "Everyone knows that you are ruthless and have killed countless people. They are just afraid of you."
Su Nuan asked innocently, "Tell me, everyone, have I killed countless people?"
A man laughed and said, "Killing bandits like crazy is a good thing."
Su Nuan laughed. It seemed that what she had done still left a psychological shadow on them.
In fact, I had killed people in my previous life, so I entered the killing state so quickly in this life.
When a normal person faces death, it is difficult to take that step, just like Bai Tong did last night.
She looked at Qin and asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to my house?"
Qin's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said arrogantly, "Where's my son? You see he's become an official in the capital, and you start to curry favor with him."
"Unfortunately, my son doesn't even like women like you, so I think you've ruined my son."
Su Nuan didn't explain, but just asked: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Qin didn't expect Su Nuan to react like this. Shouldn't she explain angrily?
This actually disrupted her plans and she was at a loss for words.
Ling Yun snorted coldly and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Lingyun, you bullied my daughter. You must marry Zhenzhu."
Su Nuan looked at Qin in surprise. Her daughter was only thirteen years old this year, and she was in such a hurry to get married?
Ling Yun asked in bewilderment, "Who is your daughter?"
Su Nuan kicked Ling Yun, but this kick caused Qin to misunderstand.
Qin said proudly, "Su Nuan, you still say you and Ling Yun have no affair? As soon as you heard that he bullied my daughter, you started kicking him."
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun innocently and said, "That's not what I meant. I just don't want you to talk too much, so as not to fall into the trap of self-proving yourself."
Ling Yun didn't take Qin's words to heart at all. Instead, he asked curiously, "What is a self-proving trap?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "She said you bullied her daughter. You must prove your innocence. That would be so tiring."
"Just ask her to produce evidence. Why do you say you bullied her daughter?"
"That means she should provide the proof, not you, to clear her name."
Ling Yun nodded in realization, "I understand.
After saying that, he looked at Qin and asked loudly, "You said I bullied your daughter. What evidence do you have?"
Qin was stunned. She didn't expect Ling Yun to ask her to produce evidence. Shouldn't Ling Yun find the evidence himself?
The person next to him echoed, "Yeah, you're saying with all your heart that someone bullied your daughter. What evidence do you have?"
Another mother-in-law said, "That's right, anyone can make up a rumor. I even said that my ducks were harmed by the pigs next door yesterday."
This caused a burst of laughter, because after the locust plague, they no longer raised chickens and ducks, and no one raised pigs privately for the time being. They were all raised in centralized pig farms.
Qin's face was a little embarrassed. She narrowed her eyes and said, "You think my daughter is beautiful, so you use sweet words to seduce her into being with you."
"Now that you've succeeded, you don't want to admit it. We don't want an irresponsible official like you."
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "First of all, I'm not an official. Secondly, is your daughter as pretty as my sister-in-law?"
Qin Shi heard this as if she had caught something, and immediately said arrogantly: "Listen, he said so, he must be having an affair with Su Nuan."
Ling Yun clenched his fists in anger, and his joints crackled.
Su Nuan quickly said, "Calm down. If you hit someone now, it means you are guilty."
Ling Yun pointed at Qin angrily and said, "She said that to you, aren't you angry?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "There are so many people who slander me. Can I kill them all one by one?"
"Don't get angry yet. It would be bad if you lose your mind and fall into her trap."
If it were the Ling Yun of the past, Mrs. Qin would have died three times already, but now Ling Yun has learned to be patient.
He looked at Su Nuan with aggrieved eyes and asked, "Then what should I do?"
