Chapter 94 Thirty Canes
"Impossible." He said in a firm and resonant voice, "My daughter would never do such a thing."
Boss Song and Song Rouxi were stunned where they were. This was not what they had imagined.
Qiao Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her tightly clenched hands.
She was afraid that her husband would support the first wife's group instead of helping their daughter. Fortunately, her husband was not so foolish.
Old Song was so angry that his face was twisted and his neck was thick. He pointed at Old Third Song and said, "Are you saying that I, your eldest brother, would wrongly accuse your daughter? You actually don't even believe what your eldest brother says."
"That's not what I meant, brother, but maybe there's some misunderstanding."
"No way!" Song Rouxi was shaking with anger. "It must have been stolen by Song Ci. Just search and you'll know."
Seeing that Song Ci remained silent, she snorted coldly, "Unless Third Sister is guilty and doesn't dare to let us search."
Old Lady Song also rushed over. As soon as she entered the house, she pointed at Song Ci and scolded him, "You little bitch, as long as you're around, this family is in turmoil every day. Are you the reincarnation of a troublemaker? Return the things you stole."
Feeling her mother's hands trembling with nervousness because of Old Lady Song's arrival, Song Ci held her hand tightly to comfort her, then turned and said with a smile: "Are you really sure that I stole it? Do you have any evidence? Even if the Ministry of Justice wants to arrest someone, they still require solid evidence."
"Who else could it be if not you? You are the most cunning person in the family. You are not a good person." Old Mrs. Song had been unhappy with Song Ci for a long time, and she pointed at her and started scolding her.
"Third sister, I can't think of anyone in this family who hates me the most, except you. Besides, you even know that I bought this piano."
Song Ci tilted her head and blinked in confusion, "I'm not the only one who knows you bought the zither. There are quite a few people in the auction house."
Song Rouxi pursed her lips. "But they have no reason to steal mine. Everyone present is of prominent status, and that zither is priceless. Even if Third Sister is short of money and covets my zither, she shouldn't set her sights on her family."
This means that no matter whether it is me or not, it will all be blamed on me?
"You want to search, right?"
"Don't you think Third Sister dares?"
Song Ci took a step forward, her eyes indifferent. "Well, you can search, but I need someone to testify for me. Otherwise, what if you search and find nothing, and then continue to frame me?"
If she didn't find someone to bear witness, the eldest wife would probably still not give in.
Besides, she knew that the eldest wife would not be able to find the piano here today no matter what.
"Witness? What witness?" Boss Song keenly sensed something was wrong.
"I've already told you that I didn't take the piano, but you guys don't believe me and insist on searching. I want to find someone to testify."
"We are all family. If we can't find you, we won't bother you anymore."
"Uncle, I don't believe that. You keep saying we're one family, so why don't you believe me now and insist on searching?"
Boss Song was speechless after being confronted by Song Ci.
Song Rouxi was eager to find the piano to avoid any further complications.
She had a hunch that this zither must be in Song Ci's hands.
"Okay, find someone to be a witness! Third sister, who do you want to find?" It would be good to have someone to be a witness. Then one more person would know that Song Ci stole things. I think the news that Song Ci stole things from his own sisters would spread tomorrow.
Let's see how she behaves then.
"But I have a condition."
"You dare to make conditions! You shameless man, hurry up and take out the things, or I will break your legs!" As she said this, Old Lady Song wanted to take action.
After the last allergic reaction, her body was obviously weaker, and her hands and feet were not as strong as before. With a wave of her hand, Song Ci easily dodged it.
"You dare to hide!"
"Mom!" Song Lao San grabbed Old Lady Song's waving hand, "The matter hasn't been concluded yet, how could you hit her!"
"What's wrong with me hitting her! I'm a grandmother, I can hit whoever I want. Song Ci is just an ungrateful little bastard and a troublemaker, I can't hit her!" Old Mrs. Song excitedly sprayed spit all over Song Lao San's head and face.
Was mom so unreasonable before?
No, it seems that mother is only so cruel when it comes to Xiaoci. When Song Rouxi and Song Ying made mistakes, she never hit them like this.
Song Lao San grabbed Old Lady Song's hand and refused to let her hit him.
Old Mrs. Song was furious, and she kept scratching Old Third Song's face with her other hand.
"I'm your mother, this is outrageous! How dare you stop me!"
Caught off guard, Song Laosan was scratched on the face, from the left corner of his eye to his chin.
Qiao Xianglan cried out "Wow" and tried to go over to block it, but was grabbed by Boss Song and pushed. She staggered several steps and ended up bumping her head on the small table beside her, becoming unstable on the spot.
"Mom!" Song Ci yelled.
Qiao Xianglan was helped up, still feeling a little dizzy.
Song Lao San didn't care about anything else. He turned around and ran to his wife's side. After seeing that she was fine, he glared at Song Lao Da, who seemed a little guilty.
"Brother, how could you lay hands on my wife?"
Boss Song pretended to be calm, "She wanted to attack Mom. You didn't say anything about your wife, but instead you said it about me! You're crazy."
"My mother wanted to stop it, but she didn't intend to hit Grandma. Uncle is being too unreasonable."
"You'd better take care of yourself first. If you can't explain the theft clearly, I'll deal with you according to the Song family rules."
"Family rules?"
"Yes, according to family rules, you should be whipped thirty times."
Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, "If they had searched, I didn't steal it."
"Forget it, it's just a misunderstanding. What else do you want?"
"What do you want?" Song Ci glanced at the uneasy Song Rouxi on the side. "Since you've wronged me, shouldn't Big Sister also be given thirty canes? That's what we call fairness."
"No way!" Old Lady Song screamed, "You bitch, how can you compare with Rouxi?"
Song Ci helped Qiao Xianglan stand up, patted the wrinkles on her skirt, and her eyes darkened. "In that case, no matter what I say today, I won't let you search this yard."
"Are you crazy? How dare you disobey your uncle? I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard!" Old Mrs. Song wanted to attack again, but her arm was grabbed by someone in mid-air.
It’s sweet.
Next, no matter how hard Old Lady Song struggled, she couldn't get away.
Boss Song was anxious, "Song Ci, why don't you tell your maid to let your grandmother go? Our Song family can't afford such a maid. She will be taken away and sold tomorrow."
"Uncle forgot, Tian'er belongs to the princess. How can she be sold just because of you or me?"
"Then send it back."
"The money Tian'er receives every day is all paid by my third wife. Whether she wants to stay or leave is not up to you, uncle."
Boss Song finally realized that the one with the most say in the third house was not the third brother Song, but Song Ci in front of him.
