Chapter 230 Bai Wutong’s Face of Seriousness, As If It’s Real
230 Bai Wutong’s Face of Seriousness, As If It’s Real
Bai Wutong called out to Xiaobai, and it immediately returned to her feet and became soft as if it had no bones.
There were no adults or maidservants to take care of Qu Xin’er. Everyone looked at each other. They could not let her stand outside like that.
Cui Lingyi walked forward. “Are you lost? I’ll get Muzhi to send you back.”
Qu Xin’er had been taught a lesson at Bai Wutong’s house last time. With her personality, she probably would not want to come here again.
Qu Xin’er shook her head and looked at Xiaobai warily. She grabbed Cui Lingyi’s sleeve. “I’m here for you.”
Cui Lingyi looked puzzled.
Qu Xin’er said eagerly, “Can you come with me? I have something to tell you.”
Cui Lingyi was trying her best to avoid the father and daughter, so she shook her head. “If you have anything to say, say it here.”
Even if it was just a child in front of her, she was afraid of being schemed against.
Qu Xin’er stomped her feet. “Let’s just go to the side!”
She gradually became irritable again even though she originally wanted to speak nicely.
Cui Lingyi was still unwilling. Her eyes were cold. “Muzhi, send her back!”
Qu Xin’er did not expect her to be unwilling.
As expected, no one but her biological mother would really feel sorry for her.
Her father had said that he would always dote on and protect her in the future, but when he turned around, he took a fancy to Cui Lingyi and forgot about her.
Grandmother kept saying that she doted on her, but she was afraid that she would get close to Lady Yun and harm her unborn brother.
Her grandfather didn’t care about her at all, unlike his other grandchildren. He would either reprimand her or hit her palm.
She should have understood that she had been abandoned by the world from the moment her mother died.
Qu Xin’er’s suppressed resentment exploded. She wanted to take revenge on Cui Lingyi.
If not for Cui Lingyi, she would at least have her father to dote on her.
Destroying a woman was to destroy her reputation that the world valued.
The moment her tears flowed, she shouted, “Didn’t you say you wanted to be my stepmother? How can you go back on your word!”
She shouted very loudly, using all her strength to vent.
In an instant, the silence was broken. Everyone in Youjia Village heard it.
Madam Qu, who was watching the scenery by the pond with Madam Cui, froze. She looked at Madam Cui, who also had a dark expression, and immediately rushed towards the Bai Wutong’s house.
No one expected Qu Xin’er to say such a thing.
There was silence for a moment. Cui Lingyi’s face was cold. “I have nothing to do with you and have never interacted with you in private. Why are you slandering me, Miss Qu?”
Qu Xin’er was frightened by Cui Lingyi’s cold face. As soon as she spoke, she regretted it, but she could not take it back.
It was impossible for her to admit that she was lying. She could only bite the bullet and quibble. “Yes, you said that!”
In any case, she was a child. How could a child lie?
Everyone would definitely suspect that Cui Lingyi was not pure and wanted to seduce her father.
At the thought of this, Qu Xin’er was suddenly not so afraid.
Why did she look down on her?
Serves her right.
Cui Muzhi stood in front of Cui Lingyi angrily. “You said that my sister said this to you. Tell me clearly, when and where did my sister tell you! If you can’t explain it clearly, I’ll go to Madam Qu and ask her who taught you to say this and ruin my sister’s innocence for no reason.”
Qu Xin’er’s face was pale as she stammered, “…When there’s no one around!”
Cui Muzhi approached step by step. “When exactly? Tell me clearly!”
He did not think that a child like Qu Xin’er could say such things. Someone must have instigated her to deliberately ruin his sister’s reputation, or Qu Lianghua wanted to use this to force his cousin to marry him.
How could Qu Xin’er come up with an answer? She was so frightened that she burst into tears.
As long as she cried and called her father over, they would not dare to make things difficult for her.
Madam Qu rushed over and happened to see the Cui siblings bullying Qu Xin’er.
She walked over and pulled Qu Xin’er into her arms. She questioned Cui Lingyi sharply, “Is this the upbringing of your Cui family? You all aren’t upright and are even bullying a child!”
Madam Cui’s expression changed drastically. “Madam Qu, before we get to the bottom of the matter, don’t talk nonsense.”
The Cui family was the head of the 30 families in Qinghe. It was a preeminent family. The expression of the head of the family, Madam Cui, darkened. Her cold aura was not something that a small family like Madam Qu could withstand.
Madam Qu was stunned for a moment and said weakly, “The truth is right in front of us. What else is there to ask!”
She had seen it clearly.
When she came back to her senses, she was annoyed at herself for being afraid of an ordinary woman like Madam Cui.
No matter how glorious the Cui family in Qinghe was in the past, it was all in the past!
At the thought of this, Madam Qu regained her confidence.
She had to admit that she and Qu Xin’er were really biologically related.
Cui Muzhi said anxiously, “She’s clearly spouting nonsense! She is ruining my sister’s reputation. When I asked her to explain clearly, she only knows how to cry. I didn’t bully her at all.”
Cui Muzhi was too angry.
Madam Cui had heard Qu Xin’er’s shout just now.
If this matter could not be explained, it would indeed affect Cui Lingyi’s reputation.
Madam Cui’s gaze landed on Qu Xin’er’s tearful face. “It’s better to talk about this openly.”
Madam Qu did not think that Qu Xin’er would spout nonsense.
Cui Lingyi must have said this and secretly wanted to seduce her son, and Qu Xin’er must have heard it.
Madam Qu said, “Xin’er, don’t be afraid. Explain yourself. No one can bully you.” She deliberately glanced at Cui Lingyi.
Being stared at by all the people, Qu Xin’er trembled and buried her head in Madam Qu’s clothes. She cried, “I can’t remember. I can’t remember. Don’t force me anymore…”
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e from crying. She sounded very pitiful.
However, everyone who knew that it was impossible for Cui Lingyi to say such things did not pity her at all.
Cui Muzhi said angrily, “What do you mean you can’t remember? She’s clearly spouting nonsense! It’s impossible for my sister to say such things!”
Even though Madam Qu suppressed it, a trace of disdain still appeared on her face.
No matter how good-looking Cui Lingyi was, she was just a widow who had jinxed her husband. She should consider herself lucky that her son had taken a fancy to her.
At this moment, she was really good at putting on an act. If she did not seduce her son in private, why would Qu Xin’er appear suddenly to confront her?
Madam Qu said, “It’s normal for a child to not remember.” Then she deliberately said, “Our Xin’er never lies.”
Bai Wutong suddenly walked out with a small bottle in her hand. “This is the truth serum that Doctor Gu had come up with recently. As long as Miss Qu drinks it, she will definitely be able to remember where she heard the lies.”
“The truth serum?” Madam Qu looked unconvinced.
Bai Wutong raised the bottle in front of Madam Qu and smiled. “If Madam Qu doesn’t believe me, you can try it yourself. As long as you take a small sip, all the ancestors that Madam Qu can’t remember can help you recall. If you lie, a black mole will appear on your palm. If not, there won’t be a black mole on your palm.”
Bai Wutong’s face was solemn and serious, as if it were real.
