Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: What Evidence Do You Have?

"Xiao Nian, is what she said true?"

Sun Yufeng asked, looking at Shen Nian with a hint of anger on her face.

After hearing Qin Xueling’s words, Shen Nian knew how difficult it would be to make Father Lu and Mrs. Lu believe her instead of Qin Xueling.

What’s more, Lu Xinyue was on the side, stirring up trouble.

"Dad, Mom, have you forgotten how she acted on my brother’s wedding day? She never wanted to marry my brother at all. It’s not just that she looks down on him—she has another man on the side! Do you still want a daughter-in-law like this?!"

"This..."

"Xiao Nian, tell us the truth!"

Lu Shaoping was the more level-headed one. Although he was angry after hearing what Qin Xueling said, as the head of the family, he wasn’t about to believe an outsider without giving Shen Nian a chance to explain.

"Dad, Mom, I admit that I’ve disappointed you in the past. But I swear, I have nothing to do with the man she’s talking about!"

"You’re still trying to argue? I’ve already asked around. Everyone in your village knows you and Sister Xueling are good friends. She would definitely know about your affairs. What Sister Xueling said must be true!"

Lu Xinyue continued to add fuel to the fire, as if afraid things weren’t heated enough. Hearing Lu Xinyue’s words, the faces of Father Lu and Mrs. Lu darkened.

Qin Xueling looked at the family before her, the corners of her mouth curling up into a triumphant smile.

’Shen Nian, let’s see how you’ll get out of this one! You’ll never escape my grasp!’

"Xiao Nian, how could you say that? It would make Yin Yang so sad. You wouldn’t want to see him sad, right?"

Qin Xueling said, looking at Shen Nian with a facade of concern. But only Shen Nian could see the undisguised glee on her face.

"SLAP!"

The fury of two lifetimes finally boiled over. Shen Nian raised her hand and slapped Qin Xueling hard across the face.

"You... you actually hit me!"

Qin Xueling clutched her slapped cheek, looking at Shen Nian in disbelief. She truly hadn’t expected Shen Nian to dare hit her!

"Shen Nian, you hit someone! Are you lashing out because your true colors were exposed and you have nothing left to say?!"

Shen Nian ignored the brainless sister-in-law squawking beside her, her eyes fixed on Qin Xueling.

"Qin Xueling, I meant to hit you! What kind of grudge do you have against me that you’d try to ruin me like this?!"

"I... I didn’t."

Qin Xueling continued to play the victim in front of everyone.

"Xiao Nian, how could you just hit someone like that!"

Sun Yufeng was also startled when she saw Shen Nian suddenly lash out.

"Dad, Mom, if she were really my good friend, would she try to harm me like this? And let’s take a step back—even if I had done such a thing, if she were truly my good friend, shouldn’t she be helping me hide it from everyone?"

"This..."

Sun Yufeng and Lu Shaoping glanced at each other. What Shen Nian said made sense.

After all, this matter would ruin Shen Nian’s reputation. She and Lu Cheng were already married; if she had truly done something like this, she would bring shame upon the entire family. In the old days, it was an offense punishable by being drowned in a pig cage!

’Isn’t this pushing someone to their death? If they were really good friends, would she do something like this?’

Having lived for so many years and seen so much, Sun Yufeng and Lu Shaoping weren’t as impulsive as Lu Xinyue when faced with a situation like this.

"I... What I said is all true!"

"Exactly! I think Sister Xueling is a good person. She’s upholding justice even if it means sacrificing her friend!"

Shen Nian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Lu Xinyue’s words. ’So I’m the villain? And she calls this "upholding justice"? If Qin Xueling is so righteous, why doesn’t she go "sacrifice" herself?!’

"Since you claim it’s true, where’s your evidence? Without evidence, am I guilty just because you say so?"

Shen Nian refused to believe that Qin Xueling could actually produce any evidence.

Yes, where was the evidence? One couldn’t make such accusations lightly. Father Lu and Mrs. Lu also turned to look at Qin Xueling.

"Of course I have evidence. My evidence is Yin Yang, and he’s right outside now!"
