"What did you say?" After hearing her words, Chen Lizhen felt her vision go dark.
The onlookers stared with wide eyes. Is this girl crazy? What is she talking about?
"I said she was the murderer who destroyed our family, so she should..."
“Bang!”
There was another round of crisp applause, but this time the slap was not from Su Qingyun, but from Chen Lizhen.
Chen Lizhen used quite a bit of strength, her hands were shaking, and she looked at Lu Ying with trembling lips, "Who told you this?! Nonsense! It's not true. I want to divorce your father. It's my own decision. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
Even if there were other reasons why she wanted a divorce, it was not something that could be discussed publicly. Chen Lizhen never imagined that the person who exposed the most unbearable things in her life was the daughter she had raised.
Even if her marriage failed, it was not something she could talk about. Chen Lizhen was also a person with dignity. She did not want everyone pointing at her or saying behind her back that she was a woman who could not even keep her husband's heart. That would really make her feel that her whole life was a mistake.
"Mom, you hit me?" Lu Ying covered her face in shock, tears streaming down her face. "What did I say wrong? Don't think I don't know. It's because of her that Dad married you, and even my name..."
"Enough! Enough!" Chen Lizhen yelled frantically, looking at Lu Ying with bloodshot eyes. "What else do you want to say?"
Lu Ying was frightened by her mother's expression. In her memory, her mother had always been gentle and submissive. This was the first time her mother was so angry with her.
Frightened by this, she also heard the voices of people around her.
"Lu Ying is really crazy. No matter what happens at home, family disgrace should not be made public."
"If Minister Lu knew what her daughter said, she would probably be furious."
"The Qin family has been gone for so many years, what entanglement could they have with Lu Cheng? Even if there is, it should be hatred. Lu Cheng hurt the Qin family so badly, how could Qin Ying be interested in Lu Cheng? Even back then, I never heard of it."
"However, if you say that Lu Cheng is unilaterally obsessed with Qin Ying, I would believe it. After all, Lu Cheng has always acted like he misses his old friend over the years. Who knows what he is thinking?"
"That's true. However, no matter what Lu Cheng thinks, his reputation has been completely ruined by his daughter today."
"The Qin family is also very unlucky. More than ten years ago, they were dealt with by Lu Cheng, and more than ten years later, they were targeted by Lu Cheng's daughter. These two families really can't meet each other."
When Lu Ying heard the whispers around her, the blood in her body gradually froze and her swollen face turned pale. After calming down a little, she realized what she had said.
Lu Ying felt dizzy. She actually spoke ill of her father in front of so many people in the compound. Her father was a very proud person. If he knew, she would be finished.
Seeing her daughter's expression change, Chen Lizhen felt distressed again. She seemed to have lost all her strength and said to Lu Ying in an exhausted voice, "Let's go, go back with Mom."
Lu Ying didn't say anything else. Chen Lizhen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pull her away.
"Wait!" Su Qingyun said slowly, "Did I say she can leave?"
Chen Lizhen's body froze. She took a deep breath and looked at Su Qingyun. "What do you want?"
"Mrs. Lu, do you think that your daughter can just walk away from her empty slander of my family without saying anything or resolving anything?" Su Qingyun looked at her sarcastically. "Or do you think the same way in your heart? That's why you don't think your daughter is wrong, but just feel ashamed?"
"That's right. Miss Lu Ying cursed at me like that and just wanted to leave without saying a word. Is that so easy?"
"Chen Lizhen doesn't really think that, does she? Is it really because of Qin Ying that she wants a divorce?"
Chen Lizhen's face flushed red after her secret was exposed. "Then I'll apologize to you on her behalf, okay?"
She was still the minister's wife after all. She had lived a life of luxury for so many years. How could anyone point fingers at her and say such things? She was immediately embarrassed.
