"Sister Liu, don't be slanderous. Why should I harm you if I have no enmity with you?"
Mrs. Li had been watching the fun just now, how could she bear it when dirty water was about to be poured on her?
She sneered lightly and said with added jealousy:
"Sister Liu said she didn't harm Yan Yan, but I've heard everything about yesterday.
In order to drive Sister Xin out of the house, you actually seduced Yan Yan and asked her to jump into a lake and frame Xiao Chengyi regardless of her life or death. This is really cruel.
Now that the matter has been exposed, you know that your elder brother will not let you off lightly when he returns home. He simply refuses to do anything and wants to kill Yan Yan and put the blame on Sister Xin to exonerate himself.
Who would have thought that he would shoot himself in the foot, and now he wants to deny it even though the evidence is solid? Just accept it, Sister Liu. Maybe the eldest brother and the old lady will be lenient because of your past friendship."
Although Mrs. Li is the wife of the second wife, because her husband is a concubine, she is often criticized by the old lady and Aunt Liu.
She has long disliked Aunt Liu, so now that she has such a good opportunity, why not add insult to injury?
"What did you say?"
Mu Rufeng's expression changed after hearing what Li said.
Mrs. Li hurriedly said:
"Brother, don't you know this? In order to drive away Sister Xin, Sister Liu instigated Yan Yan to commit suicide by jumping into the lake to frame Xiao Chengyi.
Not only that, she also wanted to put Yan Yan to death without sending anyone to rescue her. Thanks to Xiao Chengyi, he rescued her, otherwise Yan Yan would have..."
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and made a sad look: "Poor Yan Yan is young and has soft ears. She believes everything others say and doesn't even know that she is being used as a pawn."
"Shut up."
The old lady shouted angrily, glared at Mr. Li who was chewing his tongue and asked, "Do you think our Mu family is not chaotic enough?"
Mrs. Li lowered her head and stopped talking, but there was a flash of disdain in her eyes.
This old pious woman has been so powerful for so long, and finally she was tricked by her niece.
What a pleasure!
Mu Rufeng's pupils shrank sharply, she turned back to look at Mu Yun'an and asked, "Yan Yan, is everything your second aunt said true?"
Mu Yun'an twisted her fingers and did not dare to look into his eyes, as if she had done something wrong: "Dad, Yan Yan knows that she was wrong. My aunt did this for Yan Yan, so don't blame her, okay?"
Mu Rufeng's eyes turned red. He looked at his daughter and felt deep guilt and self-blame in his heart.
He had only been with her for a handful of days since she was a child, and he neglected to discipline her, leaving her indifferent to good and evil, with a simple mind, and easily deceived and used by others.
It's all his fault.
Mu Rufeng was heartbroken. He clenched his hands into fists and said with red eyes, "Catch them and send them to the officials. Let them be dealt with by the officials!"
Aunt Liu and Yuzhu were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and cried for mercy.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yun'an suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
She reached out and pulled Mu Rufeng's arm and said:
"Dad, I know that dad wants to seek justice for me, but after all, my aunt has taken care of me for many years.
Maybe she did something wrong out of selfishness, but please, for my grandmother's sake, please spare my aunt this time and don't send her to see the official."
Mu Rufeng gradually calmed down after listening to her daughter's words.
He was furious just now and just wanted to seek justice for his daughter.
But Aunt Liu is his cousin after all. Once this matter alarms the government, the Liu family's reputation will be completely ruined, and it will even chill his mother's heart.
He was silent and asked Mu Yun'an: "What do you think Yan Yan should do?"
