Free Web NovelChapter 261: Chapter 261: Li Xiaojuan Gets Beaten Up Again
Su Qing looked at the family of four staring at her with fury and casually raised an eyebrow. When she saw Zhao Li’e’s bandaged forehead and face slathered with ointment, a wave of satisfaction washed over her. ’But this is just the beginning,’ she thought. ’Compared to the harm this family caused Li Wan, this is just a small bit of interest. The main event is yet to come.’ freēwebnovel.com
"Uncle, what’s wrong?" Su Qing replied coolly. Then, pretending to have just noticed Zhao Li’e’s injuries, she let out a fake "Oh my!" "Auntie, what happened to you? How did you get your whole face injured like this? This morning, my cousin bizarrely claimed I was the one who hurt you, and I was wondering, since I just got here, how could I have possibly hurt you? It left me completely baffled. Auntie, who did this to you? It’s so serious, we should report it to the police, right? We have to find the culprit who hurt you. Otherwise, my cousin will keep acting like a mad dog, barking at me on sight. I’m honestly afraid she might bite me and I’ll get rabies."
The Li family was already in a bad mood, and now, after hearing Su Qing’s words, they were so angry their mouths were practically twitching.
Li Xiaojuan was so furious her chest ached. "Who are you calling a mad dog?"
"Whoever felt the need to respond, I guess," Su Qing said with a raised eyebrow. "Otherwise, why would you be in such a hurry to jump out and admit it?"
"You..." Li Xiaojuan grew even angrier. Forgetting whether she could even win a fight against Su Qing, she stood up and started to rush toward her, but Li Aiguo shoved her back down into her chair.
"Qingqing," Li Aiguo frowned at Su Qing and asked, "Let me ask you, where were you last night when your aunt fell in the kitchen?"
"Where else would I be? Sleeping in my room, of course!" Su Qing said coolly. After speaking, she glanced again at Zhao Li’e’s face and said, "Uncle, don’t tell me you’re just like my cousin, trying to frame me for hurting Auntie?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Hearing Su Qing’s words, Li Aiguo’s brow furrowed even more deeply as Su Qing continued, "I’m just curious. How did every single one of you decide that I was the one who hurt Auntie? This is the first time I’ve even met her. Do I have some deep-seated hatred for her? Why would I want to hurt her? And why do you all suspect me? If you’re really that suspicious, then report it to the police. I’m an innocent person. I won’t just stand here and let you tarnish my reputation. What’s the matter, Uncle? Did you go to all the trouble of bringing me to Jia City just to ruin my name?"
Li Xiaojuan said angrily to Su Qing, "Even if you didn’t do it, you jinxed her! Why is it that my mom never gets hurt, but the moment you show up, she does? It’s because you’re a jinx! Jinxing your own parents wasn’t enough, so now you’ve come to jinx my mom! You... AHH—"
Before Li Xiaojuan could finish her sentence, Su Qing strode forward in a few quick steps. Before any of the other Li family members could react, she viciously slapped Li Xiaojuan across the face several times.
"Li Xiaojuan, if you keep spouting nonsense, it won’t just be a few slaps. Believe it or not, I can report you for promoting feudal superstitions. You’ll be sent off for some ’re-education through labor’ to clean out all that old-fashioned garbage in your head."
Su Qing’s words immediately shut Li Xiaojuan up. Although the political climate had eased up recently, if Su Qing was determined to make trouble for her, it would still be more than she could handle.
"Ahem, Qingqing, your cousin was just worried about her mother, so she spoke without thinking. Don’t hold it against her." Although Li Aiguo strongly suspected Su Qing was behind it all, he had no proof. "We’re not suspecting you, we just wanted to ask... After all, your aunt’s fall last night was just too strange."
